Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • The Triumvirate

    I’ve been thinking over the past few days that I felt best (since I’ve been ill) when I was taking a cocktail of antibiotics that tackled all three of my major infections at the same time. So I’m full steam… Continue reading

  • A Herx by any other name

    I was thinking about the different Herxes, or at least the different ways my body reacts to big microbial die-offs. I’m sure some of them are not technically Herxes. From what I’ve read, Herxes are characterized by headaches, fever, chills,… Continue reading

  • Babesia trial

    Last night, I coiled for Babesia for the first time…in a place where it could cause a Herx. (I tried before on my hands.) I didn’t feel much last night. I slept soundly, which I needed after yesterday’s excitement. I… Continue reading

  • Auntie

    Today started very early (3:50 am) with the wonderful news that my sister delivered a healthy baby boy. I’ve been ecstatic all day. As I sleepily type this post, I can feel a touch of regret that I haven’t completely… Continue reading

  • Overheated

    I took quite a detox bath today. It was 109 deg F (maybe 109.5). I got really hot. Really hot. I sweated in the tub. I didn’t last the full 20 minutes. Then I cut my cool-down shower short because… Continue reading

  • Herxing from the head down

    Back when I was seeing a naturopath (who was also a homeopath), he told me that there is a rule of thumb in homeopathy. Patients heal from the head down, from inside to outside and in the reverse order that… Continue reading

  • Halo

    Today I coiled my head for the first time. I spent some time on and off during the day thinking about what I wrote yesterday regarding the possible sources of headaches. Then I had to make a decision. I chose… Continue reading
