Kay L ran a blog/lyme info newsletter for seven years, ; then she suddenly ended it, saying that she had found the solution: Mesosilver.

Wow! That's quite a statement, huh?
I think I'll give it a go!
Thanks for your feedback.

I tried a couple of different brands but didn't get much of a result.
One was called Argentyn 23 & the other was a called Nutrasilver. The Nurtasilver is supposed to be good for Morgellons.
They seem like good products but I didn't get much of a change in my condition.
It's probably not good to take it continuously without a break every so often. The silver may build up in the system.
Maybe some people want this to kill pathogens? I don't know.

Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck IS silver anyway?
All I can think of is that man who rubbed it topically on his face and turned blue.
Can silver have side-effects?

tree- maybe links to product sales websites should be done off-line?
on silver colloidal in general- clarissa, may i suggest you do a search here (just type in "colloidal" under search).
A lot has been written here by many folks over a long time- i imagine you'll come across some different opinions..

I seldom visit here anymore. I had chronic lyme for years. Thanks to homemade colloidol silver,arteminsinin,and andrographis,(spelling). I only stop into visit. I dont know of one person,and i do not think there is one person that has turned blue from PROPER made electric silver. Go to silvermedicine.org.

And all those that bash it here,ask them how many have made there own and tryed it?
Posted by SForsgren (Member # 7686) on :
I do not recommend home-made silver. I do use Mesosilver at about 2-4 ounces a day when I start getting a cold or flu and for the past six months, it has worked every time. I have several bottles that I keep on hand in the event of an acute viral or similar issue.

I was going to try making it at home but I bought the wrong transformer. I think it's better to buy it from a reputable company. You never really know what's happening or how strong it is if you make it yourself.
I guess it's OK if you don't have money & it's your last resort. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to take it everyday for life - especially if it's homemade. I think it's good to take it when needed as Scott mentioned.
There is a mind-boggling amount of information about various silver products on the internet. It's very confusing. There's nano silver, colloidal silver, silver protein, etc. My doctor suggested Argentyn 23, so that's probably a good one. The manufacturers are having a field day with this product...
It's very interesting about the anti-bacterial properties but it's hard to say what long time exposure to silver will do to the body or if it's actually needed. I don't know if there are any studies that it will kill spirochetes.

WOW! Thank you ALL for such wonderful information and feedback.
I really appreciate everyone's input and after I digest and research some more, will probably give it a try.
Thanks again,

I dont have any reason not to post that site I have absolutly no reimbursments unlike others here on lymenet.
Heck I think this siver thing is bull anyway eventially you will turn blue nomatter how small the particals.
Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :
Okay, I'd rather stick a burning hot poker up my nose than turn blue.
I'm officially scared and this topic is over for me.
Simply NOT worth it, especially with my anxious/Bart brain.
Thanks for your candor, Treepatrol. You probably saved me a lot of anguish. I'm doing fine without it so I'm not going to look for trouble.

Several of the members here including Maddog, Sylvie from France, and I made and drank probably gallons of homemade silver back in the old days.
it didn't do squat and none of us turned blue either.
IMO it's an utter waste of time trying to make that stuff at home. It makes a nice silver plated glass jar though.

I have made and used CS for about 10 years, 9 years longer than my Lyme diagnosis.
The major symptom which disappeared in the first few weeks was the 4 to 6 week recurring infection.
My wife, who is not infected with TBD's, swears that she avoids viral and bacterial infections because of CS. As a healthcare worker, she is exposed on a daily basis.
At my age, the turning blue is worth the microscopic risk compared to the benefits. A large number of people in Colorado were recently infected with flu but I have been spared so far.
Unfortunately 4 years, steroids, the mainstream medical cure-all, caused my fatigue and pain to worsen, but the cyclical infection has not returned.
I have read that a hereditary condition exists which can cause blue skin.
All the above is only a small sample, but 10 years without infection is significant to those 2 people.
Pry my CS from my cold, dead hands. ---------------------------------------------
Edit: acccording to a quick search, hereditary methemoglobinemia is a condition which can cause blue skin.
