By taking an easily asimilated form of calcium, the calcium citrate in supplemented orange juice, I experience rapid relief from what was probably a pretty acute shortage.

Perhaps that is the same effect it is having on my teeth? <I doubt the Silver has any way to "leach" anything directly, but probably will interfere with your normal ability to take up minerals BY UPSETTING THE FLORA.> Again, you are correct. I should have been more careful in my phrasing. <A small maintenance dose, absorbed by swishing in the mouth, probably never gets enough into the gut to disrupt anything.> unfortunately, it hasn't seemed to be enough to control the lyme that way either. <However, repopulating the flora is recommended by many of the "experts" if you are going to be taking large enough quantities of CS to require it. > Yes, I have not been taking my acidopholus properly either. Will start that again, and see if it helps, along with adding calcium fortified juice as well. Thanks Mike!
