Welcome Ann! I've taken the liberty of renaming this thread. > I'm a newbie, here to try to learn stuff about CS.
Well, despite a minor discipline matter that I'm in the process of quelling, that's exactly what we're here for! I'm proud to say it's probably the first actual "moderating" I've had to do in a few months. This is generally a pleasingly well behaved group. <smile> > I have Lyme's Disease either for the third time, or a chronic case of > some many years duration. Some of our premiere members are (former) Lymies. You're in good company. There are quite a few things besides CS that can help you, which I'm sure you'll hear about as we go along. > Questions: What is a properly produced silver preparation? We generally strive for a clear, colorless (or nearly so) solution with a mild Tyndal effect that indicates some amount of small particles, the balance being ionic silver. From "a few" ppm up to 20 ppm or so is fine as far as concentration is concerned. What we encourage most folks to do is buy or build a generator and make their own. That way you can be confident of how your CS was produced and that it is pure and potent. There are a handful of good brands of bottled CS out there, but none will be as good a value as home-brewed. Many other brands are of unknown quality and exhorbitantly priced. We'll do our best to steer you right, whatever you choose to do. > What happens to the fermentation that takes place in human stomachs? > Do probiotics help the problem? If you take a *lot* of CS, it can disturb the flora in your stomach and intestines. Sometimes that's desireable, as in cases of food poisoning or severe diarhea. The CS can get to the problem and clear it up. In general we depend on the fact that food will re-populate the gut pretty fast, just from normal handling and normal sanitary shortcomings, *and* that CS is much less mobile, therefore much less effective, in the denser medium of the feces. So, the upshot is that some yogurt or probiotics can be taken as a precaution or as needed to repopulate the gut. In general, though, routine small doses can be taken without serious concern, or so it seems from the general experience here. > If there are websites that would help me learn such things, I would > appreciate being sent in that direction. There are some good ones, including those of some of our members. I'll let other folks pipe up with them and their own input to your questions. Welcome aboard, ma'am. You're asking great questions.
