Guest guest Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi Pam, I didn't know you had been gone but welcome back. Yes I'm a member of wikipedia and have done some contributing. Usually if an article is controversial there will be a statement of such on the page. I rely heavily on the accuracy of wikipedia. Blue or not who cares? I will gladly turn blue if it will cure my HCV though if you go over to the 4colloidalsilver list you won't find anyone there who is blue. There is also a silverpets list and no blue pets I don't think but can't say for sure. Colloidal silver does one thing and one thing only. It kills bacteria and virus from what I've gathered from the people who actually use it. That's good enough for me. If I turn blue I can go on Oprah, write a book, do a book tour and retire well off. It's just not that easy to turn blue else there would be more than that one guy whose picture comes up with a search. Regarding arguing. If you'll notice I don't argue. I'll state my position and move on, always civil and polite. Regards,‹(•¿•)› Ress Felton, CANicotine patches are great.

Perhaps not. Do you realize that Wikipedia is simply other people putting things ONTO wikipedia that may or may not be factual? Yes Wikipedia tries to keep things factual but not always successful. If you go to Wikipedia you can find this: An alternative traditional explanation, argyria (a disease causing a blue-grey skin tone after digestion of silver), is considered less valid, as table silverware was not yet regularly used by much of the nobility. Another explanation has also been put forward: methemoglobinemia, caused by in-breeding. Lacey explains the genesis of the blue blood concept: It was the Spaniards who gave the world the notion that an aristocrat's blood is not red but blue. The Spanish nobility started taking shape around the ninth century in classic military fashion, occupying land as warriors on horseback. They were to continue the process for more than five hundred years, clawing back sections of the peninsula from its Moorish occupiers, and a nobleman demonstrated his pedigree by holding up his sword arm to display the filigree of blue-blooded veins beneath his pale skin—proof that his birth had not been contaminated by the dark-skinned enemy.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Jay, I haven't used Mesosilver for extended period, but have used ionic silver that I make for years without a problem. First time was pneumonia in 2000, and then off and on since, then consistently in large quantities for a couple of years beginning in 2006 when reinfected with lyme and cos.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Colloidal Silver works for over 650 different pathogens. It is best to use no more than 20ppm though. It is cheap, works, and with the right equipment, one can make it, although, it is easier to get it at the health food store, at least while it is still available.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I use some from R. . This is the website. Click here: Welcome to RInc.com. I find his service and products. He is very nice to talk to as well. He is trying to go into retirement. His son is taking over the business though and he seems to think nothing will change. I recommend his product highly. I tried another few and each gave me a UTI. His product did not. And he makes it in a special way. Can't explain it, but I know it hasn't hurt me in any way.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Mesosilver is one of the best commercial made CS on the market. Its around 90% nano to 10% ionic. The CS I make at home is just the opposite 10% nano and 90% ionic. Both seem to work well from most other folks reports. I know the homemade CS is definitely effective part of my wife's Chronic Lyme being in remission. > [ ] Colloidal Silver > > > > > I drank 8-12 ounces/day of MesoSilver and felt NOTHING at > all......There is/was a group in NE who believe(d) in it & > now they have relapsed.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 My wife uses 12 ounces a day of homemade ionic CS. It was a life saver for her. I wouldn't discount it so quickly. 12 ounces a day of MesoSilver would get expensive very quickly! How long did you do this for? Also a reminder I have a free lyme resource computer cd with this information as well as lots more. You can get a copy at my website below. No charge, not even postage if in US/Canada! www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > [ ] Colloidal Silver > > I drank 8-12 ounces/day of MesoSilver and felt NOTHING at > all......There is/was a group in NE who believe(d) in it & > now they have relapsed.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 It's just another scam, just like the Rife machine and MMS. Neither one makes any sense, certainly not for the bugs we are dealing with. Does anybody have scientific evidence that any of these things works or has anybody ever been cured? Just curious.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi...I have used Meso Silver for a while. I use it per need. I found it tremendously effective for all gut issues. I only use a tea spoon 4 times a day for several days at at a time. I don't know how well it works systemically??? I would use it daily, if i knew it was safe.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Unfortunately not a lot of actual lab research has been done on them. Though more has been done with CS then rife. But I can personally say I know a number of people (locally) that now have their Chronic Lyme in total remission due to these items. I also have read from many many others via the internet who give similar stories. Their testimonies and many other protocol users are on my free lyme resource CD. Four years ago I was extremely skeptical about both of these and considered them snake oil medicine! I am no longer skeptical. www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > Re: [ ] Colloidal Silver > > It's just another scam, just like the Rife machine and MMS. > Neither one makes any sense, certainly not for the bugs we > are dealing with.

Neither one makes any sense, certainly not for the bugs we are dealing with. Does anybody have scientific evidence that any of these things works or has anybody ever been cured? Just curious. Maud I wouldn't call them scams right away, but scientific support for using these therapies is weak to non-existent. There is historic experience using CS against spirochetes, and some very general suggestions as to how this works (scientifically). My guess is that it can help, but most people will not be cured from Lyme with CS (but you could say the same for many ABX or herbal protocols). For MMS and Rife I have never seen a convincing study that proves they work against spirochetes, or a theory regarding how these protocols can (selectively) kill Borrelia in the blood, tissues etc. That doesn't prove that they are scams, but there is reason to be sceptical. I agree with the 'believers' that science isn't the final word here. If you look at the Buhner protocol, some of it is based on very 'unscientific' rules (e.g. choosing an invasive plant like knotweed to battle an invasive bug). There is loads of scientific research that explains why the Buhner herbs could work, but no solid proof that they are effective against Borrelia infections. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Most protocols work for some people at best, and you can't try all of them because of time / money constraints, risks etc. Some people will choose the treatment that is scientifically promising, others a therapy that worked for a close friend, or something with a big online usergroup, and sometimes an expensive product with clever marketing and zero credibility ...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I tried MMS as a guinea pig for my wife. I try all regimens before I would even suggest them to her. Our take is it wasn't the right thing to be doing.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 You can read more about her journey in the root folder on my free lyme resource cd in the file " An Update on my wife's condition with Chronic Lyme.txt " She was infected approximately 4 years ago and we tried many different regimens and protocols on her healing journey. I would first try things on myself to see what could be expected from someone who did not have Chronic Lyme. Then she would try them. Today she is horse back riding, skiing, scuba diving and running a small alternate health resource center. www.VistaViewHealth.com She has her life back. I share all the information we collected in that journey. I.e. the free lyme resource CD. Hoping it will provide the information to allow others to make their own informed decisions! www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > Re: [ ] Colloidal Silver > > , > > That is amazing news & I am very happy for her.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 > > She was infected approximately 4 years ago and we tried many different > regimens and protocols on her healing journey. IMHO that makes it impossible to say what was the real 'cure', as usually cure takes some time to set in. I think this problem exists with many chronic diseases, some people will recover over time whatever treatment they use; it is often impossible to pinpoint where the improvement of their condition is coming from.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 That certainly can be true Knot_weed! But here we do pretty much know what is the effective agent. As we did things systematically. My wife was never one to mix many different protocols. She would do a limited number of different ones and then remove items or add to see what would work. She went on salt/c protocol and symptoms reduced tremendously. She got off the protocol and symptoms returned. She then tried CS in place of salt/c and saw the same symptom reduction. The reason she stopped salt/c was she felt the salt was a migraine trigger for her. She was right. Removing the salt reduced the migraines. But the Lyme flared back up. Going on to CS alone she found the lyme symptoms reduced to the same level as when she was on salt/c Later she added rife and saw a further decrease in symptoms. This was the first time that the pain in her feet finally vanished. She had that for 3+ years and none of the protocols ever helped reduce it. A week or so after starting rife with CS the foot pains vanished Now if she stops CS/Rife the symptoms return. Both lyme and the foot pain. We know she isn't cured, but as long as she does her regimen the disease is in remission. She stops, it returns. Its very obvious what is working for her. www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > [ ] Re: Colloidal Silver > > > > > > > > > She was infected approximately 4 years ago and we tried > many different > > regimens and protocols on her healing journey. > > IMHO that makes it impossible to say what was the real > 'cure', as usually cure takes some time to set in. > > I think this problem exists with many chronic diseases, some > people will recover over time whatever treatment they use; it > is often impossible to pinpoint where the improvement of > their condition is coming from. > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Buy Healing Lyme: Natural Healing And Prevention of Lyme > Borreliosis And Its Coinfections by Buhner at one of > these locations: > http://tinyurl.com/3bgm5d > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I agree in such a case you can say that it 'works', but only to treat symptoms, not as a cure. And even then, you never know ... maybe the outcome of the CS/rife would have been different if she hadn't started with the Salt/C first ... My problem with such 'treatments' is that maybe they are only treating the symptoms, and not addressing the real cause. Which may be a bad idea in the long run. Maybe the remission only means that symptoms are suppressed; I have the impression that this applies for a lot of other 'alternative' Lyme treatments. But of course, the same goes for some antibiotics like doxy (at less than 200 mg/daily). And sometimes treating symptoms instead of the disease (cause) itself is the only option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Perhaps we are quibbling over nothing. I totally agree there appears to be no cure. Wish I did know of one, but it seems even one cyst or L-form missed means a flare-up will be possible. Best thing about it is by removing her " symptoms " i.e. brain fog, joint pain, fatigue etc etc she has regained her normal life. She is now horseback riding, able to enjoying her grandkids, bike riding, skiing, skin diving, running a home and a small business. (www.VistaViewHealth.com) She believes it's in remission and not just removal of the symptoms. But then isn't that what remission really is? The disease is not progressing and you have none of the problems associated with it. Like I said I think the difference here is moot. Remission or total removal of symptoms and no further symptoms appearing. Both seem the same to me. www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > [ ] Re: Colloidal Silver > > > > > > > > > Now if she stops CS/Rife the symptoms return.

Please explain the difference in ABX/ Colloidal etc in treating " suppression " but not the cure.......I always feel you act more like a skeptical lawyer rather than someone who is looking for a return to functionality........ The difference is that if one treats the cause, the disease can disappear for good = cure. If one treats the symptoms, the disease (symptoms) will probably come back (relapse) when treatment is stopped, because the cause is still present. Some types of ABX have been proven to kill most of the Borrelia (yes, we have the additional problem of Bb survival forms and lymies with disfunctional immune systems). Nothing like that has been proven for most alternative treatments. I admit there is proof that CS is effective (less than ABX though) against treponema spirochetes, so it may work against Bb as well. If I had the choice I would fight the cause and not the symptoms. That's why I'm looking at what these treatments are doing (or pretend to be doing).

If the symptoms are gone and don't come back after treatment is stopped, yes - I would consider that remission or cure. But that is not what I usually hear from CS treatment for LD.
