A herx reaction is purely a worsening from the killing of bacteria. Any other symptoms you are having during treatment for LD, from anything that is not an antimicrobial substance, is coming from metabolic disturbances the substance is causing in your body."
"Herx reactions should be avoided at all cost! It is not a badge of honor. A herx is not to be desired. A herx is not necessary. Something is horribly wrong when we begin to expect, or when we are told by our doctor that the sign of good treatment is to feel horrible for years. Your doctor should work to restore the optimum integrity and function of the entire body, and detoxify the body at the same time has help the body get control of the bacteria."
