As a matter of fact, personal experience and that of others as well, has shown that CS does NOT compare well to antibiotics when used in this manner." As a relatively new member to this group, I was quite distressed by the above post by Dr. Altman. If the above is true, then why is it being touted by this list and cs manufacturers as being equivalent to antibiotics? I have long-term Lyme and in perusing the archives of this list and in speaking with several members here, I was fairly confident that I could use cs with good results. If that is not the case, then I obviously seriously need to rethink what I am currently doing. All feedback is appreciated. Since I get this list in digest form, posts cc'd to me as well as posted to the list, would be helpful. Thank you. Hope krh...@worldnet.att.net >>
Hope: Another lister who was just as concerned about my remarks as you contacted me directly. Here is a copy of my response to that individual which I hope will put my views in a more appropriate context with regard to Lyme disease, or any other debilitating illness for which conventional medicine offers, shall we say, controvercial procedures. I meant that statement as a GENERAL & PERSONAL observation. I have read accounts of people suffering from Lyme disease who are convinced that CS got rid of Lyme disease FOR THEM. So please DO NOT read too much into my statement. I'm trying to draw out the good professor so I don't want to complicate my question too much with a bunch of qualifiers. Personally, if I had Lyme disease, I'd think long and hard before starting with antibiotics because the results apparently have been mixed at best. Maybe if caught early enough antibiotics would be the way to go. I don't know. If I caught it late, I'd be drinking pints, if not quarts, of my HVAC CS DAILY, and I would definitely check out the remarkable studies and results by Messrs. Beck and Becker. Look up silver lister's commentary about the work of these two gentlemen (and others, Dr. Clark, for example) in the archives section.
