Although our customers report minimal herxing with LymeplexPLUS®, you may have to go through it to get to it!

A Herxheimer reaction is the side effect of effective treatment or cleansing. It is a normal reaction your body has when toxins from dead pathogens are being dumped into the bloodstream faster than the body can comfortably handle. Herxheimer reactions are not necessarily a bad thing. They are a good indication that the body is healing, and toxins are being eliminated.

“A typical Herx reaction can last anywhere from a week to a few months. Each case is different and there are many factors at play when estimating how long the reaction will last. The biggest factor at play is the condition and status of what is being treated (i.e. the condition of skin lesions, the status of Lyme disease, etc.) Other factors that come in to play include how effectively the body can remove toxins and debris from the blood, and how healthy the body is overall.”

The most important thing to remember during any type of treatment or cleansing is that a Herx reaction is a good thing and the protocol should be continued if the Herxing is not extreme. Most people stop the treatment when they begin to Herx. They do not realize that Herxing is a good sign and they stop what they are doing before they have finished the cleansing process. Taking a day or two break and/or reducing the serving size or doctor prescribed dosage, is the simple answer to reducing your herxing. And then, building back up to a comfortable tolerance is the best approach to your healing process.
