Hi, folks. Here's a little story for the files.
I recently bought an elegant little CS maker, designed by one of our members. I made a batch of nice amber-colored CS. Not daring to take it internally for starters, I decided to use it externally, *thinking* that it would be safer. I have a *terrible* case of itchy, scaly, scalp with falling-out hair. Surely something is living there. So I decided to try the CS on it. I saturated my head with about 1 to 2 oz. of the stuff and sat down to read my e-mail. About 1/2 hour later I began to feel *very* weird. Sort of cold and light-headed. Felt like the beginning of my typical Herx reaction. Ran to the shower and washed it off, but I was into one of my Herx reactions where I feel like I'm going to faint, dizzy, like I can't think straight, and my heart starts flip-flopping, hesitating and then starting up again with a thud. I have had pretty good luck using Clark's recommendation re Herx: arginine in daytime, ornithine at night, so I took a bunch of them and they seemed to help, but would keep wearing off, and I'd be back in the faint feeling. I also took a bunch of MSM, thinking maybe it would get rid of some of the silver and thus cut down the total detox. The condition of my scalp improved dramatically. But the whole thing lasted about two scary, unpleasant days (my typical Herx time) and taught me a few things: 1. Never underestimate the possibility that a substance (especially CS!) will be absorbed through the skin. 2. Start with lower doses of CS! I would really appreciate any comments that would help me understand the whole experience better. Whitney -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
