Hi John,

I'd appreciate others' comments to this, as all I'm sharing is my gut 
feeling based on my limited experiences. 

I tried drinking a fair amount of CS as you did, many ounces a day 
of probably 20ppm or more. After a week or two I began to have 
intestinal problems as well as just feeling poorly. When I started to 
have acute muscle and joint pains in my legs, hips and back I got 
really concerned. I stopped taking the CS but continued to get worse, 
rather than better.

Now you might wonder if I'm describing a herx. I don't really think 
so, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I'm basically healthy. I'm not 
fighting Lyme or any chronic disease I'm aware of. My original cause 
for using CS was to beat back the bronchitis and other upper 
respiratory infections I used to have. <grin>

The other reason I don't think is was a herx, is what solved it. Jim
Einert, our resident ND, had made a couple of suggestions to another
list member who described having very similar muscle and joint
symptoms. One of the things he said to try was calcium. 

This got me thinking about basic nutrition, and I had my wife buy me
one of those calcium enriched orange juices. I drank only two 4
ounce servings over twelve hours and was immediately much better.

What I believe happened is I had thoroughly wiped out my intestinal
flora, such that I couldn't absorb many nutrients. I had driven my 
nutritional state, and probably body chemistry, way out of whack.

So my response to what you've described is that you're probably not 
being subtle enough in designing your regimen. Others here can 
recommend steps to restore and support your overall balance better 
than I can. But I think that is what is going to be needed if you're 
going to use a lot of CS (or anything else for that matter) for a 
long time.

If you read on the Advantage Pharmaceutical site you'll see they 
suggest other things to do while you are treating your Lyme. I'm not 
sure you'll feel any better until your digestion gets back to normal, 
whichever product you're going to use.

Yeah, Dr. Farber and his people? <GRIN>

I've never heard a discussion of just how they produce their product. 
I believe they use some pretty high quality methods to control the 
quality. I don't think I'd try to duplicate it, although the high 
cost is an incentive.

The reason we're pursuing the low voltage generators as well as 
others, is because anybody can do it that way. I'm not sure, based on 
your description, that it's the fault of the CS. You may need to do 
some other things to support your body during treatment.

Good luck, John!
