Herxheimer Healing Reactions

About Herxheimer Healing Reactions

Healing reactions bring people to DrTalks when treatment makes them feel worse first. Flu-like crashes after starting Lyme treatment, headaches and fatigue during a mold detox, rashes or brain fog after a new supplement, or not knowing whether a flare is a herx or a setback are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past toughing it out. The videos explain how dying microbes, biofilms, mold toxins and heavy metals can overload the body when detox pathways and the gut can't keep up. You'll find conversations on what a herx is and how to manage it, Lyme and co-infections, mast cell reactions, and detox that backfires. Doctors, naturopathic doctors and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from toxin and heavy metal panels to infection testing, and what helps, from binders and drainage support to pacing treatment, herbs, nutrients and ozone.
