Food, Medicines, and Lies The Health Talk series by Dr. Priti
After infections are diagnosed and accurately treated with antimicrobial medications, a large number of bacteria, fungi, and yeast cells are rapidly killed off, leading to die-off symptoms. This phenomenon is called the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (HERX reaction) or Healing crisis.
The HERX reaction occurs because the death of bacterial or fungal cells exceeds the body's detox capacity. Supporting the body's detox system can help alleviate these symptoms.
This HERX reaction is an immune system response to the recovery and detox process, referred to as the "Immune Cascade."
What Symptoms You Might Experience During Die-Off Reaction:
Duration
The duration of Candida die-off varies based on the severity of the infection and the response to treatment. Some reactions resolve spontaneously within a few days, while others may take longer.
