Dr. Christina Rahm: How to Detox Your Body from Lyme Disease & Heavy Metals Naturally | TUH #185

At 19, after nearly dying in the ICU from aggressive Lyme treatments, Dr. Rahm refused further IV antibiotics and began researching natural remedies in the library. She found an article suggesting oregano could kill spirochetes. Desperate, she combined the oregano with things she knew from her farm‑raised background—Epsom salt for muscle aches, lavender for calm. The baths were painful (“it would burn so bad”) but she noticed a clear pattern: the next day her fever dropped and her mental fog lifted slightly. She kept a diary tracking the effect, and over two years the baths became a cornerstone of her self‑directed recovery, along with antifungals and spirulina.

Dr. Rahm’s interest in zeolites was accidental—she originally studied them while working on pharmaceuticals as a delivery vehicle. But after noticing how they bound nuclear waste after Chernobyl, she wondered if they could do the same inside the human body. She spent years traveling to zeolite mines in Egypt, Greece, and elsewhere, testing over 300 varieties for impurity profiles and binding affinity. She eventually filed patents for a “selective” zeolite that would leave essential minerals untouched. In her clinical observations, people who use the drops often see an initial spike in urinary heavy metals (as tissue stores are mobilised) followed by a steady decline over months. She warns that the wrong zeolite—one not properly cleaned—can actually add heavy metals back into the body, making sourcing critical.

In the conversation, Dr. Rahm repeatedly name‑checks spirulina, chlorella, and wheatgrass as staples of her recovery and later protocols. She describes them as “nature’s vacuum” that helps the body grab hold of toxins while the binder (zeolite) does its deeper work. Though she doesn’t elaborate on dosing, the context is a broad recommendation for anyone serious about detox to include a green drink.

Dr. Rahm, a former psychologist, observed that patients who improved on experimental treatments were often those who had also made emotional and relational changes. She now incorporates “cleansing ceremonies” into her own life, burning the paper in her fireplace while stating positive intentions. She couples this with deliberately removing people who bring constant negativity, noting that even blocking someone on social media can be a health intervention. She frames this not as a religious act but as a practical energetic hygiene—one’s cellular health responds to the frequencies of the environment.

Dr. Rahm reports that a group of integrative practitioners in Switzerland placed autistic and ADHD children on this protocol using her Clean Slate product and observed significant behavioural and cognitive improvements. She stresses that in many countries where pharmaceuticals are less accessible, families rely on such natural approaches and that the clinical feedback has been positive enough to warrant further study. The protocol hinges on extremely low doses—often a single droplet—because these children can be exquisitely sensitive.

Dr. Rahm developed Zero In because she saw a gap in natural products that truly moved the needle on focus. In her pharmaceutical work, many ADHD and anxiety drugs had unacceptable side effects. She wanted something that would work from the gut up—supporting the enteric nervous system’s neurotransmitter production first. The result is a “micro‑dosing” adaptogenic that uses vine‑ and root‑sourced ingredients she personally sources and tests for purity. She takes it herself continuously because her lifestyle—constant travel, jet lag, public appearances—would otherwise leave her cognitively drained.

Dr. Rahm argues that the spiral‑shaped Borrelia bacteria are not the only threat. In her experience and in research she reviewed at Pfizer (using Zithromax and fluconazole), Lyme patients often harbour a fungal overgrowth that the antibiotics inadvertently fuel. She contends that the worst‑case Lyme patients—those with the most severe brain fog, fatigue, and failure to recover—almost always have an underlying systemic fungal issue. She also suspects a parasitic element because spirochetes “hide everywhere” and behave more like a neural inflammatory condition that can lay “eggs.” Addressing all three—bacteria, fungus, and parasites—gives the immune system a fighting chance, whereas antibiotics alone may keep a patient sick.

Dr. Rahm studied over 300 types of zeolites worldwide and found that the source and processing method drastically affect binding affinity and safety. Her goal was to create a zeolite that would “rip apart” heavy metals into non‑toxic forms and escort them out via urine and sweat, while simultaneously providing 87–115 trace minerals and vitamins to replenish what the body needs. This contrasts with chelation therapy, which pulls out both toxic and essential metals indiscriminately and can harm organs if done too aggressively. She notes that their effectiveness was demonstrated after Chernobyl and Hiroshima, where zeolites were used to soak up radioactive waste.

Dr. Rahm posits that children with autism and ADHD are especially sensitive to heavy metals and environmental toxins that impair the gut‑brain axis and neurotransmitter pathways. By starting with just one drop of cleaned zeolite in the morning and evening—gradually moving to up to five drops for those under 100 pounds—some children experience improvements in focus and behaviour. She pairs this with adaptogenic formulas containing ingredients like velvet bean and pine bark to support dopamine and serotonin production. The approach has gained traction in countries that lean toward integrative medicine.
