Hi, list,
Dear Dean Woodward, glad you were forward on the CS list!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your account of what colloidal silver has done
for you and your personal profile. Thanks for sharing.
Give your wife a big hug for me; I'm so glad she is responding to her
treatment for Lyme. If she should seem to feel worse, it certainly could be
a good sign. I felt my worse when on doxycycline but that's how I knew it
was working. It was easy for me attribute it to that med because I was on
something else 3 days a week, and doxy 4 days a week. By the 3rd day on
doxy every week, hypersensitivity symptoms would increase dramatically and
then fade away two days after I'd be on the other med. I made dramatic
improvement with doxy, but all the meds I took contributed to substantial
improvement. Some helped my neuro symptoms more, some helped the bone
muscle symptoms more. Yet colloidal silver was the frosting on the cake,
cutting through some of the most persistent symptoms in the long run. Its
assuring to me that I will always have that option no matter what a doctor
may tell me. I still use CS faithfully to keep my symptoms at bay. (Of
course, my use of CS is at my own risk and I don't want anyone to construe
my actions as medical advice.)
Anyway, for anyone with Lyme disease, it's a good idea to keep a copy of all
your tests records just in case your doctor decides you've had enough
but you know you're not fully recovered yet. This happens all too often
with Lyme patients, myself included.
It is also very helpful to keep a logue of what meds you are on and your
symptoms, to record what your response is. If you are prone to temperature
changes no matter how subtle, keeping record of that, taking your temp the
same time every day is good to keep track of too.
It is wonderful that you have connections with Texas AM, Dean.
Dr. Fife is doing some terrific research there using the hyperbaric chamber
to treat Lyme disease. I believe the HC would be a great benefit to
everyone's health as microbes just don't like all that oxygen. Some
creation scientists as well as other scientists have acknowledged that there
is evidence that the earth used to have a heavier atmosphere with more
oxygen that wasn't conducive to longevity of the nasty microbes we are
afflicted with today.
The hyperbaric chamber has been used in FLA to re-awaken sleeping brain
cells that were shut down due to traumatic injury (brain trauma, strokes,
anoxia, etc.) with terrific results. It's helped burn victims, diabetics,
and others with nasty infections. And I understand some units are as
inexpensive as a couple thousand dollars. I'd rather have one of them than
a jacuzzi, but can't afford the money or the space either! Ü
(I think that unapproved hydrogen peroxide and other oxygen treatments for
Lyme are related to this phenomena.)
Anyway, Dr. Fife (at Texas AM) is currently working in conjuction with Dr.
Leigner of NY. They want to study the effects of using a potassium based
remedy (historically used but not popular today) at the same time with
hyperbaric treatments for Lyme patients. I certainly would hope that
considering their openness to use of that med (which has it's drawbacks,
side effects, etc) they'd be interested in colloidal silver as another
interesting medication to study in conjunction with the hyperbaric chamber.
Maybe you could get in touch with them. How I wish I were in your shoes!
I'd love to be that close to these great researchers!
Good health to you an your wife.
God Bless,
Nancy

I guess it is time for me to come out of the closet, and quit just being
a
careful observer. I am relatively new to the list, and joined to learn what
I could about Lyme, and specifically the use of CS in combatting it. My
wife
Patsy has been fighting this horrible bug (undiagnosed) for about eight
years, and it has really been a battle for both of us, but particularly for
her. When the bug got around to her eyes her eye doc almost went into
shock,
called in an associate, spent about an hour studying her eyes, and finally
asked if she had ever been diagnosed with Lyme. She had not even brought up
the subject to him. That finally brought things to a head, and the other
doc's we were dealing with began to think that maybe, just maybe, her
problem might be Lyme, in spite of the conventional wisdom that there isn't
any Lyme in Texas (never mind that Bb was originally cultured from ticks
and
fleas in Texas - or so I am told), and the fact that she tested negative,
repeatedly. She is now under intensive doxycycline (400 mg/day) and a host
of other medications - including steroids (just now learned of the possible
ill effects of steroids on Bb). She is definitely improving, and her doc
wants to see her again in three months, and was
