Lyme Disease Tip Summary:

Dr. Melanie Stein shares her top three hacks to help you detox more effectively during Lyme treatment—so you can minimize Herxheimer reactions and feel better while healing.

1. Don’t Panic During a Herx—It’s Detox in Action

   • Feeling worse during treatment often means your body is clearing out toxins.

   • But suffering through it isn’t necessary—you can support your body more gently and effectively.

2. Use Glutathione to Neutralize Toxins

   • Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant.

   • It helps break down and clear toxins, especially during die-off reactions.

3. Add Binders to Trap and Remove Toxins

   • Use binders like ZeoBind or activated charcoal to act like magnets.

   • These substances grab onto toxins and escort them safely out of your system.

4. Hydrate and Eliminate Daily

   • Drink plenty of water and ensure daily bowel movements to keep detox pathways moving.

   • Stagnation can worsen symptoms, so regular elimination is key.

5. Honor Your Body’s Pace

   • More isn’t always better—pushing too hard can backfire.

   • Support your body gently and allow it time to process and heal.

“It’s okay to slow down and support your body through treatment.” – Dr. Melanie Stein

“Are you feeling worse when you’re undergoing Lyme treatment? Don’t panic. It means your body’s clearing toxins. But Lyme treatment does not have to be miserable. My name is Dr. Melanie Stein, and I help patients detox smarter, not harder. Here are my top three favorite hacks to make Lyme treatment easier and more effective. If you feel a herxheimer reaction coming on, start by taking glutathione. Glutathione is your body’s master antioxidant. This means that it not only supports your detox pathways, but it helps break down toxins. Then, add in a binder like Zeobind or charcoal. Binders act like magnets, grabbing onto toxins to safely remove them from the body. Finally, be sure that you’re hydrated and having daily bowel movements. This keeps those detox pathways flowing. And remember, it’s not about going full force, pushing too hard can make your symptoms worse. It’s okay to slow down and support your body through treatment.” – Dr. Melanie Stein
