Why Its Important To Detox

I learned the hard way its important to detox prior to and during antifungal treatment.  After failing to make any progress using prescription antifungals, I moved to herbal antifungals.  I was doing a four day rotation of three different herbal antifungals that was supposed to take nine weeks.  The first two weeks were fine.  Then I started feeling more and more wiped out and achey.  By the fifth week, even one capsule of the herbal antifungal would make me feel worse, so I stopped treatment. I realized that I was having a die-off reaction, also known as herxheimer reaction.    

At that point I figured out that my body was too toxic to handle anti-fungals.  I was very gun-shy about trying more antifungals after being through the three rounds of prescription antifungals followed by the herbals.  I still had all of the candida symptoms and was more exhausted than ever. At this point I knew that I had to improve my immune system and detoxify before going on with another antifungal treatment.
