Con: Antibiotics cause Herxheimer reactions

Problems with herxing

1. Sometimes we kill off more than we can detox. If your glands are swollen, cut back your dosage.
2. Sometimes you are not herxing, but having adverse reactions to antibiotics.
3. Inflammation is an immune response to the presence of toxins in the blood (and antibiotics are very toxic).

Your adrenals may be too weak to deal with such extreme die-off. Having adrenal fatigue makes it hard for all your organs to work, and hard to fight off infections. If your adrenals are already depleted, than be wary of the elevated toxic load that will occur with antibiotic use and die-off.
