Maegan Hodge | The First Step in Healing_ Removing Toxic Exposures

My biggest concern is to make sure that the exposure has been removed from their environment because if they're constantly getting re exposed, treating them is going to be very difficult. First you have to establish from my perspective the overall health of the patient. How well are they, what are the resources of their body, how much can you challenge them without getting really bad side effects, Essentially Herxheimer reactions or similar. If a patient has otherwise been pretty healthy, they have good reserves, you can push things a little bit more with chronic infections like that. There's sort of a certain protocol that I follow where from the Chinese medicine perspective, often what I'm doing first is working to remove dampened phlegm, which corresponds with the Western medicine category of biofilm. So I'm trying to give them herbs and help them employ strategies that are anti biofilm, basically so that their own immune system and circulation can get into these pockets where circulation has been limited.
