It is important to realize that when bacteria, parasites and yeast are killed (by antifungal and antibacterial medicines or supplements) and begin to die…your child may experience die-off symptoms. These die-off symptoms are called “Herxheimer Reactions” and are due to the dying organism releasing toxins. Supporting liver, kidney and gall bladder function are important in helping the body rid itself of these toxins. These symptoms can come in the form of headaches, rashes, diarrhea, temporary worsening of autistic symptoms, light and sound sensitivity, irritability, hyperactivity, poor sleep, etc. This sometimes is part of the process, and although not pleasant it is important to realize that you must push through these reactions with your child and continue treatment.
Here are a few suggestions that can be used to support liver, digestion and suspected die-off reactions:
Vitamin C – 1000 to 3000 mg daily, and/or
Activated Charcoal – 1 to 2 capsules twice daily 2 to 3 times per week, and/or
Magnesium Citrate - 250 to 500mg daily, and/or
Lemon Water (use organic if possible) – ¼ to ½ lemon squeezed into fresh, filtered water (4 ounces) – Take 2 to 4 times daily.
One option with die-off reactions is to cut back on dosing of antifungal or bacterial agents by ¼ to ½ until die-off improves and then increase dose again.
All of these remedies can be obtained from your local health food store.

Hi. My Daughter turned four at the end of June this year. We began treatment with her DAN!/Biomedical Dr soon after her birthday. We have been supporting her body with a verity of supplements and started treatment for yest. The die off behavior can be overwhelming at times. It gets better then comes back. This is more than likely due to the chelation we have now started. My question is, Who long should we continue to see these crazy die off symptoms. i know every child if different, I am just looking for a rang. 6-12 months or are we talking years?? I really need to know I hate watching her go through this. But I am willing to go through this with her and give her all the support she needs no matter how long. Please help.
Thank You
Samantha
