I had pain in my knees so bad I thought I was going into a wheelchair. I found MSM on this list and bought some from http://www.msm-msm.com about 11.00 per pound of powder. I started taking a full rounded teaspoon morning and night, and my pain was 80% over in a week! After about a month my pain is 100% alleviated. No pain at all. Then I found CMO on this list. CMO is supposed to be a permanent cure. If I don't take the MSM for a few days the pain would gradually come back. I have been chicken to stop and see if it comes back since the CMO. But will probably stop for a few days this month to see........BTW never had a herx reaction. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robb Allen To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 1:26 PM Subject: CS>Effective Medicine
Hi, As most of you know I have been fighting an arthritis condition for a while now. Heeding the advice of a few of you, a few months ago I started a diet that eliminated carbs and sugar. This helped me to some extent but I didn't really think that carbs were the root of the problem. I stayed on that diet for a month and found that my condition was about the same as it was before......maybe a little less pain, but not much different. In the back of my mind I still believed that my problems was caused by a pathogen. I remembered getting advice from several of you that I should perhaps try Grapefruit seed extract. I decided to give it a try so I purchased 4 ounces of 33%. Within 2 days of taking about 20 drops 5 times a day every single joint in my body was on fire like I have never seen before. This really came as quite a shock to me since even colloidal silver hadn't produced this kind of herx reaction even with very high doses. At the time that this occured, i was also taking CS.......I stopped taking the CS so I could make sure that the GSE was indeed causing the reaction. The reaction persisted and seemed to get worse when I increased my dosages of GSE. This was a little over a month ago when I first starting have herx reactions by GSE use. I have since then run out of my 4 ounce bottle and replaced it with 32 ounces of 66% citricidal. The new stuff has the precise same effect on me as the first bottle. I guess my question is: Shouldn't I be having a decrease in the herx reactions by now?.....does a reaction like this mean I am killing them?....or could it be they are just "aggravated"? I am taking GSE to bowel tolerance and I really wish I could get more in my system but I'm not sure how to do it. I have decided to add oregano oil to my arsenal since the GSE is working so well. I should have it in a few days. One thing I can say is that the GSE is MUCH more effective on me than CS has been.........Does anyone have any other advice for me?....I think I'm making real progress but any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Can I expect the same type of reaction from the oregano oil?..............thanks in advance for any help...........Robb
