Bee, How did the albendazole work? I know you were taking it before the site went down. 28 days wasn't it? Do you feel it relieved any of your symptoms?

Hey Dizzy, I remember I thought it helped, but I need to start taking it again.
I need to start Something. I tried to put M out of my mind awhile. Now I have several lesions, which is my only known health issue. I still do believe M started from having intestinal parasites and when they're this bad, Well it's like swatting flies in the the barn It helps but there's always more.

I just had the glutathion drip today and will have the vitC next week. I of course had the b12 shot. We are going to alternate for a bit and see how I feel.
I was given a diet to start before I do the nystanin. They are afraid I will go through some tough side effects because of the fugus/yeast die off. So they want me to start it a few days before, and stay on it for a week or two, then back to my regular diet. This will all have to wait until I am done with the anti parasitic. Janice

Let us all know how it goes. Remember that sugars, fried foods,carbs and alcohol all feed the fungi. You may want to change your regular diet if it includes those foods.
Seems like you are doing relatively great!

The Herxheimer Reaction:

The Herxheimer (Herx) Effect is an immune system response to toxic chemicals (endotoxins) released in the blood & tissue by parasites & pathogens killed off by medication.

Simply stated, it's a reaction that occurs when the body is detoxifying & the released toxins either worsen the symptoms being treated or create their own.
As a result, you might feel worse before feeling better! Although you may not feel very well, the Herx effect is actually a sign that healing is taking place.

The important thing is that worsening symptoms do not indicate failure of the treatment in question. In fact, it's usually just the opposite.

The biggest problem occurs when you stop taking the medication causing the reaction. And thus discontinue the very treatment that is helping to cure your condition!

History Of Herx:

The phenomenon was first described by Adolf Jarisch (1860-1902) working in Austria & by Karl Herxheimer (1861-1942) working in Germany.

Both doctors were dermatologists treating syphilitic lesions of the skin. They noticed that in response to treatment, many patients developed not only fever, perspiration, night sweats, nausea, & vomiting, but their skin lesions became larger & more inflamed before settling down & healing.

Interestingly, they found that those who had the most extreme reactions healed the best & fastest. The patient might be ill for 2-3 days, but then their lesions resolved.

Common Herx Symptoms:

As the body detoxifies, you might experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint & muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, flushes, rashes, or other symptoms.
These reactions vary widely & depend on many factors: Your general health, condition being treated, degree of toxicity in your body, frequency & dosage of medication, & the support you provide your body in eliminating the toxins.

Herx Time Frames:

There's differing data on timing of a Herx reaction. Some indicate it's 4-24 hours from onset of treatment, & others note the response is noticeable on days 3-5 or even later.

What appears to be most accurate is that reaction times ~ & indeed whether there will be any reaction at all ~ are strictly dependent on the individual being treated.

Duration also varies widely, from an hour or a few hours to days or even a week.

What To Do For A Herx Reaction:

If it's mild enough that you can bear it without grave discomfort, the best approach is to continue treatment & assist the body in eliminating the toxins as quickly as possible by the methods below.

If it's severe, cutting back on the dosage or frequency of medication can be helpful in lessening symptoms but still allowing the healing process to continue.

Sometimes stopping for a day or so & then beginning again at a lesser dosage can allow for quick relief.

The best assistance for the body is drinking plenty of distilled water daily (8 glasses, 8oz ea).

Other helpful suggestions include:
~ Get plenty of sunshine & fresh air.
~ Minimize exercise for the detox period; rest as much as possible.
~ Keep organs of elimination functioning properly (bowels, lungs, skin, kidneys, & lymph).
~ Keep the diet light so the body isn't loaded with additional chemicals & toxins to eliminate.
~ Take Vitamin C, 1000-3000mg, daily.
~ Drink 1/2 squeezed lemon in 4 oz water, 2-4 times daily.
~ Take cold press olive oil first thing in the morning.
~ Taking sea salt or epson salts baths or steam baths & saunas.
~ Keep herbal supplements to a minimum & very mild in nature.
~ Take oral antihistamine tabs (any brand) for itching, rashes, & swelling.

The most important advice for a Herx reaction is to “bear with the process." It's usually over within a few days & is well worth the cleansing & healing results.

I had my vit-c IV today along with b12 shot. I had a C-reactive protein test (for hidden inflamation) the results were fine. The nurse said it is probably working all the vit and other supplements I am taking. This is the view from a holistic point. I am going for a skin test on monday as I brought some of the literature that I researched on line and showed it to my doc. We are doing a skin fugus test.
Thanks, Janice
