Managing Herxheimer Reactions


Q:  Is there a way to decrease the chance of a  Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction when planning to take antimicrobial drugs or herbs?

Dr Cowden’s Answer:  Nutramedix Burbur 8 drops plus Nutramedix Pinella 8 drops in 1/4 cup of water every 15 minutes for 1 hour then 4 times daily for a few days before starting the bug killers often helps prevent a Herxheimer. After starting the antimicrobials, the doses could be repeated every 15 minutes for 1-2 hours if Herxheimer occurs.  Lying on your back pretending to pedal a bicycle in the air off and on for 10 minutes will drain the lymphatics. Dairy products & wheat/gluten-grain products clog the lymphatics, so should be avoided.

  1. Does clogging the lymphatics apply to raw dairy as well?
