Hi Steve,
Is there a dosage level of CS that requires the change to selenomethionine instead of selenium? I take selenium once a day in the evening and am wondering if I need to change the formulation. I take approximately 2 oz CS am and pm. If the CS is taken hours away from the selenium does that help?
Thank you.
PT

Welcome Dave,

I just read your second post as well, but would like to make a couple of comments to this post. 32 oz of 12 ppm CS daily is an awful lot of silver. Far more than your body can excrete in a day. If you use that much regularly the excess silver has to go somewhere. And that somewhere is your tissues. While I understand the severity of your condition having Lyme, etc., I would strongly recommend a lower dose.

I would also strongly recommend against the use of silver nitrate. There are alternatives that are more effective with less risk of argyria. Silver nitrate is notorious for causing argyria. Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, can reduce it to metallic silver in the tissues where it then remains and contributes to argyria. A much better alternative is silver citrate, which is easy to make. However, you will still need to limit it's usage to reasonable quantities.

If you are supplementing selenium while using large amounts of CS, and you should be, use the selenomethionine form of selenium. It will not complex with silver and cause the deposition of silver in the tissues.

I first started using CS to get me away from a continuous use of antibiotics. The CS got me off antibiotics but I was using more CS than I liked. I found that cycling CS with iodine worked well for me and now I use fairly low amounts of either. I hope you find something that works for you.

Regards,

Hi All,

I'm new to this list. I've been following every CS group on yahoo, but they all seem pretty dead! This one looks like the goldmine I've been looking for!

I'm here to learn about all sorts of innumerable details of CS. I am not "in the biz", but have not ruled out the possibility that some day I might be. Hence I want to learn, learn, learn.

I have Lyme, bartonella, babesia, mycoplasma, candida, and I don't know what else. A regular swamp. I believe Lyme is minimal now and candida is essentially a non issue now. Bartonella I think is the main enemy by far right now. I have been sick since age 16, and just kind of lived with it until age 22. I couldn't live with it anymore. It was do or die. In what I now think was truly a race for my life, I finally got diagnosed with Lyme at age 23. Somehow I finished grad school. I am now 25, and too sick to work. I have a B.S. and M.S. in industrial engineering from a top university.

I've done all sorts of crazy therapies. The ones that have helped the most for my particular case:

1. Coconut oil absolutely ransacked candida where as nystatin and diflucan had no apparent effect at all.

2. Doug coil rife machine herxed and improved on Lyme frequencies and eventually stopped being effective. Presumably because the other infections are the bad guys left.

3. Homemade ionic silver. Sometimes as much as 32 oz a day. Somewhat regularly for a few months. Then it stopped being effective orally. If I don't take it for 4 or 5 days, I feel some bugs "edging up". I take CS, then it knocks that feeling out for 4 or 5 days. I think I might slowly head backwards if I did not keep doing this with the CS.

In general, I tend not to respond to treatments. I am the guy who wishes he could get something to make him herx, but just can't.

The latest development in my treatment:

IV silver nitrate

I have had two treatments so far. First one have me a herx that was almost literally identical to flu. Fever, chills, weakness, etc. I have never in my life had a herx that felt like the immune system was actually doing its job! The second treatment was lower dose cuz I was scared after the first treatment. No flu symptoms but more "usual" herx symptoms (fatigue, depression, brain fog). Round three is this friday!
