Why wear a ribbon?

 
 "I was diagnosed with Lyme disease three years ago, but have not had proper treat..." (SundariRanidd108)

MDJunction to me

jpcrps"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

I understand the reason behind detoxing, but I was thinking that if it helps rid your body of toxins then doesn't it remove some of the effect of the antibiotics?

And how many detoxing things do you do?

The toxins are many fold. One they are the dead bugs that the abx and and other meds kill. Second, they can also be yeast, heavy metals and other toxins you ingest ( food additives/allergins etc.).

It is suggested you cleanse and detox your colon and digestive tract first, so it is working well to help eliminate the other toxins. Also good to do a liver and skin detox.

I confused tho because it is my understanding that antibiotics are toxins too -

Am I thinking of this correctly?

What skin and liver detoxes do u use
