What is the
Herxheimer's Reaction |
Both anti-spirochete and anti-Babesia
treatment will induce the Herxheimer's reaction during
the first three weeks of treatment. Herxheimers
reaction is caused by toxins released by the large
number of dead spirochetes eliminated during the initial
part of treatment This means that symptoms will worsen
temporarily. If the reaction becomes hard to tolerate
for the patient, then the amount of herbal intake should
be reduced to half or even less to build up tolerance
gradually. After the reaction period is over (may last
around 3 weeks), the patient will experience gradual and
steady improvement.
