Hi Guys. I would like all of us Lymies to do this

easy test and report your findings. It may not be

anything, but I think it might be important.

Especially to people like me who were told their

blood is great while being sick. I would like for

you to take at least a 14 Kt. gold ring and rub

the gold on cheek. I would like for you to grade


a black band -on the scale of 0 for no band,

1 for slight band, 2 for dark band.

I have a very dark

band and want to see what you have. Husband has

none and daughters is slight. Simple and fades

quickly on most but lasts a while on some. Thanks

for helping. Thanks for helping and hope you have

fun doing this.

Not sure yet Gael. I am not a chemist, but it could mean low protein and or iron. We all know how crazy our metabolisms are. Just wanting to see what happens with Lyme people. Thanks.

It does not matter what color gold as long as it is 14kt.

I am looking for a black band/streak.

My sister had her cigar band gold ring on and I

was admiring it and she said let me show you this

to see if you are low in iron/protein. And she

rubbed it on all of our family's faces,6 of us.

Face is important. Some people use this test to

determine if a piece they are buying is real

gold.Everyone was shocked to see the dark black

band on me. I am thinking it could be used by

doctors who find another patient like me who was

told repeatedly "Your blood looks great". It is

not and if proven could save that patient at

least another years grief.

I'll do that as soon as I eat my breakfast and take a shower.

This is really interesting. I actually tested low for blood protein.

Me too Leelee when they finally believed me.

I don't know if it will work if just fresh washed?

So you might want to try it later in the day also.

A couple of years ago I was taking only a multivitamin daily, I didn't want to get a flu shot b/c of the lyme.

I started taking echinecia (sp?) after taking the highest rec. dosage for about a week I noticed the gold chain around my neck (wore 24/7

for years) was leaving a greenish-black band around my neck and a gold ring on my finger had that also.

I cleaned my jewelry cleaned my neck and finger, still came back. I thought it had to be the echinecia.


Stopped it and the band went away and I never took again and never had that problem either.

I think it changed the ph in my skin.

Thats scary b/c I think if the ph is unbalanced for along time it increases your chance of cancer.

Thanks tpap,

do you have a streak on face now?

It does not do this to my hands.

I think it might be hormonal in nature because

it is usually just in face. Meaning Thyroid,

Parathyroid, Female hormones, maybe male hormone

other metals that may not be toxic. I don't know.

The echineacea may have been fighting the lyme?

I don't know. These are the things I am curious

about. If people who have it have common

denominators? By the Bb being intercellular we

have to have our PH all messed up. I wish I was

smarter. Need lots more input. This is why I

asked.

Remember gold shots given to try to halt RA?

Nice try. Wrong mineral/metal.

Copper bracelets....another try.

"the reason you are getting black marks is due to a reaction with the alloy in the gold and the

acid content of your body.

It is a very common problem."

I have a theory about the Copper Rings used for Arthritis. I believe they may have worked somewhat because they acted as a simple Lakhovsky Coil. The bracelet slightly concentrated ambient frequencies helping to repair the immediate area. Any metal should have worked.

Or it may be bull altogether.

I didn't get any reaction at all. But, I think this thread is interesting. I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.

Yep. Dark streak on the face... and slightly dark on my hand.

I think it's the acid too. Long years ago I had trouble with my jewelry doing that to me and someone said I had too much acid in my body.

It's not that way now..... BUT.. I must still be a little too acidic???

I just did this, and I got a dark streak--a 2 I'd say.

Tried it on hubby and both boys, and they get no band at all.

Weird!!!!

Someone said something about acidity--I've been drinking lemon water for detoxing, could that have something to do with it?

Not sure. I thought I'd heard that drinking lemon water actually made us less acidic....but I don't know for sure.

Okay, here's one to add to your survey!

i did this yesterday and got a 2.

I was in at the hiropractor today, and I wanted to show her this, because I thought it was so freaky.

So I took my ring off and did the same thing as yesterday--AND NOTHING HAPPENED!!!!

No line, no nothing.

Now explain that one!
