A Patient-Led Approach to Supporting Recovery from Chronic Infection

Detoxification is often a critical—yet misunderstood—element in their healing journey. Lyme patients often experience a significantly higher toxic burden due to microbial die-off, persistent infections, and environmental sensitivity. Their detox systems—particularly the liver, kidneys, lymph, and gut—are often overwhelmed or genetically compromised. Biofilm formation, immune dysregulation, and co-infections further complicate toxin clearance. This makes detoxification not only more necessary, but also more delicate and individualized.

A one-size-fits-all approach can cause setbacks. Practitioners must consider pacing, bioavailability of support tools, and the patient’s ability to eliminate waste.

Join Angela to learn how to move beyond rigid protocols and embrace a responsive, patient-led approach.
