For those with Lyme disease, there seems to be a common
denominator here regarding improved mental health and sense
of well being, colloidal silver.  These observations are not
something measurable, yet it's worth spending a bit more
time looking over the subjective claims of those who have
suffered Lyme disease and taken colloidal silver.  Many on
this list express the same sort of mental boost, and I will
share the experience of myself and someone else off the list
below.

A man from my Lyme disease support group has begun using
homemade colloidal silver.  Over the past nearly 20 years,
he has been misdiagnosed with cardiac arrest, MS, arthritis,
mental illness, you name it.  He finally was treated for
Lyme D. with IVs long enough to get a positive response, but
not long enough for cure.  He's since been banned from abx
by his "conservative" doctors.

As of the last mtg, he was still experiencing arthritic pain
from LD, but explained a big change in himself since he
began CS a couple weeks before.  He now has ambition back;
he feels good mentally and is full of ideas of things he
wants to do (but at this time is physically restrained due
to pain.)

I experienced that very same response once I began CS for
Lyme disease (October, 1996).  No antibiotic for LD made me
feel this good about myself and life.  I do believe that
some effect of CS enhanced the creative juices in me and
gave spark back to my life (all areas).   My whole extended
family took note of this distinct change once I began CS.

I had not suffered chronic depression from LD but LD
certainly had taken a mental toll on me.  Once I started CS,
I found I didn't have enough hours in the day to do all I
want to do!  (I was starting to wonder if I could be
manic-depressive!)  But I am thankfully not.  I'm just
feeling well, very well.  And it had been years since I had
felt that good.  Taking CS was like coming out of
hibernation for me.

I do think this response is likely a direct result of
riddance of LD bacteria in the brain.  Certainly that can be
a chemical response.

What kept me from getting true chronic depression?  Well, I
was never "prone" toward depression to start with.  I think
it is partly personality, and largely my trust in God.  Lyme
disease definitely dragged me down, and I had many
disappointments to deal with every time I relapsed.  But
since I started on CS, the change was so dramatic that I did
actually feel euphoric most of the time now, similar to how
I felt on prednisone for a few days after a tooth extraction
(several years ago.)  The difference is that this sense of
well being does not go away if I stop taking CS for a few
days or weeks.  This is really me, not some drug effect.

I'd be curious to know if it has this effect regarding
others with bacterial infections.  I see that several of us
with LD experienced this, and I recall discussing it in the
early days of my use of CS with Marsha.  We were amazed at
what we had been missing in life and wouldn't have known had
we not been on CS.  Life was exciting once again!  And the
feeling hasn't gone away!

I'd like to know what some other LD people have experienced
too.  Perhaps I could compile an anonymous log of accounts
regarding this phenomena for use on my silver page or on the
silver list web page (at some future date.)  I'd want to
know a brief summary of the individual's health history
(mental & physical), what treatment for LD was used & how
long, and what his/her use of CS was and what the response
was.

At this point, I can only collect the data.  I'll have to
compile it later.  I probably won't be posting on this list
for a while, but I will respond to personal emails.  We got
two offers and a contract to purchase our house after over 7
years on and off the market, Praise God!  Finally it appears
it's his timing to move.  I've got lots of sorting and
packing to do!

Sincerely,
Nancy B.
