Re: silver as a toxin

[Guest guest]

Great info !

I wanted to comment about whether cysts are visable in the blood after the use

of CS. JimM has mentioned many times that the blood looks clear after using

silver, but in chronic lymies most of our infection is in the tissues and not

the blood. I know in many cases the blood is a good indicator of our health,

but maybe not so much in us lymers.

water from streams and lakes.  This filter (made by Katadyne) consists of a

ceramic material with very small pores (.5 microns in diameter).  This traps any

microorganism that is too large to pass through one pore into the other

interconnected pores.  In the event that a smaller organism than .5 microns

would enter the filter, the ceramic was impregnated with elemental silver (this

is silver that is not in a molecule with other elements - colloidal silver is an

example) which kills microorganisms on contact.  This implies that silver atoms

do not need to attach to the protein coats of microorganisms since the atoms are

held in the ceramic structure.  Simply being in contact with silver atoms is

enough to kill microorganisms.  It is reasonable to assume that if silver atoms

are in a liquid (as in colloidal silver), then more atoms of silver would be

available to contact

> organisms than just the atoms on the inner walls of pores, as in the water

filter.  I think it is entirely logical to assume that the presence of silver

atoms will induce Bb spirochetes to immediately encyst, just as the presence of

molecules of an antibiotic would.  If Bb is good at anything, it is it's ability

to very quickly shed the double protein coat and create enough cyst coat

material to evade the vast majority of chemical attacks.  One way to discover if

this is correct would be to stop using colloidal silver in Spring or Fall to see

if an intense lyme flare-up occurs.  This would mean the cyst load is large. 

The cyst load can increase in size if a chemical threat is present to make newly

formed spirochetes go back into cyst form where they can multiply to a limited

degree.  If one spirochete forms a cyst and multiplies a few times, the cyst may

contain 4 or 5 individuals.  There are plenty of photomicrographs that show

this.  If

> silver is stopped for allow a seasonal cyst hatch to occur, you would

certainly be able to tell by the arrival of strong lyme symptoms.  The L-form of

Bb does not have the double protein layers (it has shed it's cell wall which is

what the double protein layers were connected to) so would be immune to silver. 

Do people who use silver find that all lyme symptoms disappear, or is there an

underlying layer of symptoms that do not go away?  If symptoms do not disappear

completely, this suggests that the L-form may be active and immune to silver. 

An active protein-coated spirochete can shed the cell wall in seconds, so a

logical outcome would be that many more L-forms are produced as well as cysts. 

>    Another issue is the effect of colloidal silver on beneficial gut flora.  I

have not used silver, but am interested to know if others have Candida problems

if the gut flora is reduced.  If not, this may suggest that colloidal silver is

effective with organisms that have protein coats that allow them to evade immune

cells - uncoated organisms are not affected by silver, as normal human cells are

not affected. Silver is not toxic in humans - there is much research that shows

this.
