It occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body as
bacteria (typically spirochetes) during Bioresonance and Herbal
treatment. Sometimes it could be quite dramatic. The patient might think
that he/she is getting worse and the treatment does not agree with the body.
Often conventional treatments suppress the healing process.
Herxheimer reaction is a healing crisis. It shows the patient that the
microorganism is dying and the body is trying to eliminate it. It could last 1
to 7 days.
It includes the following symptoms: fever, headaches, muscle/joint pains,
tiredness, weakness, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, itch,
discharges, loss of appetite, bitter/metallic taste in the mouth, hot flushes,
sweating, tremors, anxiety, pins and needles, mild paralysis, etc.
The inflammatory cytokines (TNF alpha, IL 6 and 8) are increased.
The patients that reacted dramatically healed fastest.
The main advice during Herxheimer reaction is to continue with treatment if
mild or discontinue the treatment for a few days if severe. No conventional
medicines should be taken as this suppresses severely the elimination of
toxins and the healing process.
Lymphatic system needs stimulation during this reaction: Rebounder and
Herbal lymph support could be very helpful during this period.
