Please take note: 3 weeks of antibiotics is grossly inadequate, regardless of use of colloidal silver. If your doctor refuses to prescribe 6 weeks, you need another doctor.
Go to http://www.lymenet.org and carefully view "Guidelines for Managing Lyme Disease" by Dr. Joseph Burrascano for more sound details regarding diagnosis and antibiotic treatment of Lyme disease. There is a lot of old, outdated and harmful information used by too many doctors still regarding treating Lyme disease, resulting in preventable undertreatment, misdiagnosis, and chronic illness. I've had chronic Lyme for who knows how long, and 3/4 of my sons have had it too. One was recently reinfected with no bulls eye rash apparent. Caught early and treated long enough with proper antibiotics (six weeks) there likely will be no relapse for your child. (Of course, reinfection by another tick can occur as did with my youngest child.) Antibiotics were very useful in treating me, but colloidal went beyond what the antibiotics could with my advanced case. Also beware of the possibility of coinfection by another bacteria from the tick. For more info, visit my web pages: http://www.oikourgos.com/trisha and http://www.freeyellow.com/lyme-borreliosis . Also, http://www.freeyellow.com/members2/silver-works for my info page (pros, cons, instructions, my experience with CS for Lyme disease.) Mild silver protein is a type of colloidal silver that is so concentrated that it requires a gelatin type protein to keep the silver evenly distributed, fostering longer shelf life and salability of the product. Home made colloidal silver does not require this because it is used regularly and shelf life is not an issue. There is no need to use salt to make CS. Some people use a tiny bit of salt or baking soda as an electrolyte to get the process started sooner though. Some people caution against using salt because it produces silver chloride. In large quantities, silver chloride could be harmful. At the least, it binds up silver that could have been available in ionic form for CS otherwise. An alternative to speeding the process is to use 1/4 of previously made CS and 3/4 distilled water. Color could be indicative of oxidation of the silver. The faster the silver is made (i.e., by preheating or warming the water), the more this color is apt to occur. Exposure to light can darken CS too, so it should be kept in a glass jar that is either opaque, kept in a box, or cobalt blue or brown glass. Color of CS may also be indicative of larger particles. The paler, supposedly the smaller. Smaller particles can reach more restricted areas of the body and presumably pass out of the body more easily as well. I have reference links to excerpts of Zane Baranowski's "Colloidal Silver, the Antibiotic Alternative" which has a good discussion on color of colloidal silver and the implications as well as other information about CS on my colloidal silver page.
