Dear Katie, Frances, and Dave, and anyone else who may be interested, here`s my Lyme and CS story: I was living in rural Arkansas in 1990; we had deer on our property. I had gotten several ticks, but they were big. About two weeks after reading an article in a magazine about Lyme disease, I pulled a really tiny one off the front of my leg. Guess what??!! Bullseye rash, flu, sore joints. I knew what it was, thanks to the article. Went to a doctor who was the Dumbdoc of the World. He didn`t run a test, just put me on doxy, 60 mg. for 10 days. Shoulda been 600 mg. for 3 months! Next January I was having my gallbladder removed. Dumbdoc had said it was an ulcer. (Same guy didn`t bother to xray my daughter`s hurt foot; she walked for 2 years on a broken footbone. Grrr...) Now I know that Lyme can destroy the GB. Well, I moved to Utah, then to Arizona in 1991. In 1992 I finally was wondering if all these symptoms could still be Lyme Disease. Went to the Phoenix Library, where I found 2 books on Lyme. Yes, Lyme can recur if undertreated initially. I had 55 of the 60 symptoms listed!! I found a doctor who did a blood test. Negative. She gave me some Zithromax, I herxed. She didn`t even know what that was, or what it indicated. I had no insurance, so no IV therapy, she put me back on doxy, as I could afford it. We moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1995. Still taking doxy to keep alive, miserable as heck. In Kenosha, I couldn`t find any LLDs, the docs refused to believe that LD can recur. They refused to give me any more doxy. Now I really began to get sick. I spent the days in my chair, the nights in bed, doing little. Finally, I did what I now realize I should`ve done first, I prayed for help! In a week, an old buddy from high school sent me some info. she`d found on papers used as packing in a box she`d gotten in the mail. It was the CS info! I read it, but was skeptical, I`d never heard of CS. With nothing else left to try, my son helped me put together the generator, and look all over Kenosha and Racine to find silver wire. I began taking CS in May of 1997. In 3 days my joints stopped hurting and I could close my jaw shut. In a week my mind was clear. Ladies at church noticed the difference, as they had never seen me Lyme-free. It took 7 months or so for the damage to heal, in joints, and heart mainly. It is now 4 years and change later, I still use CS as a preventive. No colds or flu for the last 2 years, except for one last October, when my batteries were dead! (Duh!) CS has stopped two spider bites, possibly Brown Recluses, no skin grafts, just two tiny pits which I can live with, and numerous UTIs which I get easily, as a result of the GB loss. Also my asthma is gone. I`ll still get a few sneezes and itchy eyes from allergens, so I swallow some more CS, and put it in my eyes as well. I have cured Giardia in my baby cockatiel, and my two Pug dogs look great now, no more goopy eyes, or face wrinkle infections. I hope this proves helpful! Marsha
