Hi Dee...I am  no brainiac like other on the list so I hate to reply here BUT 
you addressed me  ... 

You weigh out the use of antibiotics.  Lyme is serious.  I got rid of lyme 
myself once without using anitbiotics ( I used other things in addition to CS). 
 I had used antibiotics the first time I got Lyme disease. With my dogs I used 
antibiotics when there were symptoms of lyme.  A short course of a regular 
strength antibiotic does it with dogs.  I now use a: good for the dog, good for 
people, good for the earth pest repellent on my dogs and have not had any nasty 
rounds with the indsidious spirochete in many years.  I see  very very few 
ticks, compared to others in my area.  If I did see sings of a lyme outbreak 
today, in the dogs, not sure what I would opt for.

The question I was trying to ask was... for hip problems how do you get the CS 
to the source of the infection (if it is an infection) ...Norine

 I am a little confused Debbie. CS for hip problems? I thought CS had to come 
directly in contact with an infection to have an effect. R U sure this is an 
infection? If you think it is lyme a course of antibiotics knocks it out in 
animals. If it is not an infection there is a lot you can do for joint 
problems. Have you had a professional look at the dog yet?
