Greetings, all:
Hi David,
I wrote an article for the Lyme Strategies called "Silver In the
Blood". In it I tried to show the ion concentration in the blood is
far too low to have any effect on pathogens, and the main instrument
in healing is the immune system.
I will be expanding on this topic in the SilverCell forum, so there
will be plenty of new information to work with.
In the meantime, I need to alert you to the problems with
nebulizers. As a water droplet shrinks, the silver and hydroxide
ions are forced closer together. And the smaller the droplet, the
faster it shrinks.
At some point, the ions combine to form silver hydroxide, which is
inert, insoluble, and has no antibacterial qualities. This gets
distributed deep inside your lungs, and could have the same effect
as asbestos in harming the lungs.
This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've read in quite awhile.
As an individual with over ten years of experience with nebulization, this
type of fear-mongering is unbecoming of true intelligence.
I can introduce you to individuals with terminal infectous conditions of the
blood, lungs and organs who used CS nebulization to effect a permanent
cure.... it's effective with both humans and animals.
Asbestos is carcinogenic, and the particle characteristics prevent it from
being removed from lung tissue. I can also introduce you to individuals who
have breathed in so much silver in an industrialized setting, that their
whole upper body turned black. The lungs, however, are in perfect shape
(after twenty some years).
Furthermore, studies have been done demonstrating that silver accumulation
in lung tissue is not present as long as the silver particle is less than 15
nanometers in diameter.
People with massive silver exposure in lung tissues don't even develop
conditions similiar to silicosis, let alone asbestos.
Silver is not as effective with Lyme disease as some would hope, and it's
completely due to concentration levels. Here is a quote from a Lyme
sufferer:
"There can also be some unintended consequences: While on IV Colloidal
Silver, after my initial herxing, I started feeling better...until one day,
I got slammed with Babesia symptoms. Apparently, the artemisinin I'd been on
the year before, which had reduced my Babesia microti down to
"non-infective" levels, did not eradicate it. Some other organism or two or
three were helping my body keep down the Babesia population left after I
went off the artemisin, organisms that were killed off by the silver,
resulting in a major Babesia population. Fortunately, my physician had just
returned from a Lyme conferenced, wherein he learned that Babesia is far
more prevalent in the Lyme patient population (40% or more), and is far more
difficult to get rid of, has a cyst form requiring the addition of a third
antibiotic, and the tests are, like tests for Borrelia burgdorferi,
returning high rates of false negatives because acute illness happens at
ratios far less than the test sensitivity levels. [Note that there are tests
for only two of the 13 known Babesia species, so people infected with the
other 11 species will never test positive, no matter how sick they are.)"
Lyme is more complicated than just saying higher concentration of silver
will eradicate it. It's one of those infections that requires a great deal
of knowledge and concerted effort to address, especially in advanced stages.
I doubt very seriously that silver would have any impact on the cystic stage
of Lyme, whicih is why it may be a good aid, but not a primary treatment
modality. As a friend recently reminded me, though, if all you have is a
hammer, everything looks like a nail!
I don't often like to comment on Lyme disease, because that one should
really be handled by people specializing in it with a medical background as
well as a natural/alternative background. However, because there is so much
confusion, bad information, and down right imaginative suppositions going
around, a Lyme sufferer really needs to take a multi-pronged approach to the
whole problem.
Regardless of how one decides to use silver in a protocol, spirochetes
travel to tissues and areas in the body that it is not likely silver will
have a great impact on. However, in some of its active stages, and as it
operates in the active metabolism, silver use can greatly help knock the
pathogen counts down, which obviously helps the immune system. Titration is
one of the biggest issues; bioactive silver in any form, and by any
philosphy, doesn't have a long activity life in a biological system (like
the human body). At extremely low concentrations, silver only inhibits
spirochetes' growth cycle.
There are therapies far more effective at dealing with the cystic stage of
lyme and biofilm... but they are not that easy to use by someone without
experience (which is why a good alt med practitioner specializing in Lyme
can be a God send for Lyme sufferers).
1. Systemic enzyme therapy (which can be dangerous for some people if not
done carefully) along with Samento (can enduce serious temporary
inflammation, which tends to lend to the idea that spirochetes are deep into
the body's tissues)
2. Bio-oxidation therapies - again, not as simple to effectively use as CS.
Furthermore, the immune system, once Lyme progresses, can be so shattered
that some might even state that late stage Lyme enduces, or at least
resembles, auto immunity disease. The body's antioxidant capabilities are
usually shot... all of that has to be addressed at some point. Some things
will recover naturally along with ***successful*** therapy. Some things
won't, such as individuals who experience digestive failure due to immune
system depletion.
My heart truly goes out to late stage Lymies...
In the above patient experience report, IV use of silver likely achieved
much more than any other protocol could **except** one thing: The ability
to keep bioactive silver titrated as best as possible in the human body...
One can only do that part at home, which highlights the importance of
frequency of use over quantity of use.

The main benefit from nebulizing is the sublingual absorption that
occurs as the cs fog is deposited on the mucous membranes.
What I like about sublingual adsorption is the activity of metalloproteins
in the adsorption process. This is certainly invaluable.
That sublingual adsorption is even close to as effective as nebulization
defies the practical experience many, many individuals, including a few I
know very personally who would now be dead if they had continued doing it.
Under their doctors strict orders, they were only allowed to do sublingual
adsorption. However, once the individual spent the last $30,000 of the
house they sold for medical bills, and hence ran out of money, the doctor
declined to offer further services. The individual then elected to follow
more prudent guidance.
Sublingual adsorption is fantastic, but I would strongly urge individuals to
do extensive personal investigation and research, and not rely on
**anyone's** opinions. I assure you, experimenting with EIS via a nebulizer
is not a dangerous proposition. Draw your own conclusions.
