I read your posts on the earthclinic.com regarding lyme disease and the alkalizing recipes, and I have been taking the borax and baking soda. It's only been a week but my energy seems to be improving.
In fact I have to stop taking the alkalizing formulas in the early afternoon because they seem to have a stimulating effect on me. The baking soda especially sometimes makes me feel like i had a coffee -- my mind gets very energetic, sometimes anxious, and other times angry!
Is this a common reaction Are there other reactions i should be aware of during this alkalizing process Also the borax really makes my lips dry and my skin feel inflamed. Am i not drinking enough water Am i taking too much

I don't see these side effects but if you are experiencing inflamed skin, this is a symptom of the body getting rid of the fungus and will be helped with a topical application of bentonite clay or borax in water as a paste on the skin. Apply one or the other for 5 or more minutes. But I do see similar problems with fungal infections when the body tries to get rid of it using other means.

Just wanted to point out that baking soda is not the same as borax.
