We have just found a treatment that I believe will truly be the answer to treating TBD. The benefit of true colloidal silver is it gets everything at once. It kills all bacteria, protozoa, virus, yeast...etc. I have been EXTREMELY skeptical of all treatments besides abx and aerobic exercise, but I think this truly may be the answer we have been looking for. I have been taking the Meso for several weeks and have just started my family on it. I stopped my antibiotics and have had several major herxes but also feel BETTER! And...it can not turn the patient blue: The nanometer size particles of metallic silver that comprise Mesosilver will not cause argyria. Below is a small part of the information on the site. (link at the bottom of this message) From the site: SNIP The difference between ionic silver and silver nanoparticles Ionic silver is not the same as metallic silver nanoparticles . For example, metallic silver is not water soluble (does not dissolve in water) but ionic silver is water soluble (it does dissolve in water). Technically speaking, a silver ion is an atom of silver that is missing one electron. It is the outermost electrons of an atom that determine the physical properties of matter. Take away one electron from a silver atom and you get a silver ion which is water soluble. In its ionic form, silver is highly reactive with other elements which means it will readily combine to form compounds. Ingestion of highly concentrated forms of ionic silver (having a silver concentration of 100 ppm and above) could potentially cause a condition called argyria, a permanent discoloration of the skin. For those who are interested in the more technical aspects and want to understand the technical terms involved, see the extensive Definition of Terms. Also see the FAQ for answers to common questions about ionic silver. For a more technical discussion about the differences between ions and particles, see Ions, Atoms and Charged Particles. The importance of silver nanoparticles Because a true silver colloid consists of silver nanoparticles, not ions. Inside the human body ionic silver quickly combines with chloride to form an insoluble compound called silver chloride which is far less reactive than metallic silver nanoparticles. In fact, ionic silver cannot survive inside the human body. In the digestive tract hydrochloric acid supplies the chloride ions that cause ionic silver to quickly form silver chloride. If some ionic silver were ever able to get into the bloodstream it would encounter a large supply of chloride ions owing to the fact that blood serum is rich in sodium and potassium chloride, again quickly forming silver chloride. Only silver nanoparticles can survive inside the body. Read the detailed study that proves that stomach acid destroys the effectiveness of ionic silver in a study that tested the Effects of HCL (Stomach Acid) on Colloidal and Ionic Silver.

Persistence Is a Virtue
That spirochetes tend to persist in the human body has been demonstrated in both syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, and Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. What accounts for this ability to evade or suppress an effective immune response? http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/418448 What is a Herxheimer Reaction? Ja·risch-Herx·hei·mer reaction n : an increase in the symptoms of a spirochetal disease (as syphilis, Lyme disease, or relapsing fever) occurring in some persons when treatment with spirocheticidal drugs is started - called also Herxheimer reaction http://www.fasthealth.com/dictionary/j/Jarisch-Herxheimer_reaction.php http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/6455/herx-links.html ***Having a HERX??? Try this! Squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon into a glass, now drink it through a straw. NO SUGAR!, don't water it down. Please let me know if it helped or not. b10g7@comcast.net Thank you! ***
EXPLAIN THE JARISCH HERXHEIMER REACTION.
This drug-induced flare reaction may occur within hours, the next day or within the first weeks after the patient starts the antibiotics - or any time there is a change in antibiotic or dosage. It is caused by a die-off of organisms, which in turn create toxins that circulate in the body. This will often cause a worsening of symptoms. Patients may experience a range of symptoms from mild fatigue and sleepiness to flu-like symptoms - chills, low grade fever, night sweats, muscle aches, aching and swollen joints, nausea, hives, skin rashes, depression and short term memory loss. Hives and rash are sometimes mistaken for an allergic reaction. When this occurs, it is a good indicator that the antibiotic is reaching its target - a very positive sign. The length of time for this reaction varies from patient to patient. About twenty percent of patients do not experience the Herxheimer reaction. Scleroderma patients seem to experience the Herxheimer reaction less often than RA patients. Oxidative therapy may be useful in reducing these symptoms. Garth Nicholson, M.D., director of The Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California recommends peroxide baths (four 16 oz. bottles of 3% hydrogen peroxide in 20 inch bath or Jacuzzi, with 2 cups of Epsom salt. Patient soaks in hot water plus the epsom salt for five minutes until pores are open, then adds the peroxide solution. This should be repeated three times a week at bedtime. No vitamins should be taken 8 hours before bath. The peroxide can also be directly applied to the skin after a hot shower/tub. The peroxide should be left on for 5 minutes and then washed off. Another useful suggestion from Dr. Nicholson - blend one whole lemon, then add 1 cup fruit juice or water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Strain and drink liquid. Diet and supplements are extremely important. Nutritional recommendations are on this web page and include avoidance of sugar, caffeine, dairy, fatty or acid forming foods, but an increase in fresh vegetables - especially the cruciferous vegetables - organic if possible. Patients should drink no less than two quarts of water a day to flush the toxins out of the system, lubricate the joints, and carry nutrients through the body; and should have two to three bowel movements a day. If the Herxheimer reaction is severe, the medication may be stopped and a small dose of prednisone (no more than 10 mg.) may be prescribed. When the flare subsides, the medication is re-introduced at a slow rate. http://rheumatic.org/faq.htm
The Relaxation Response is a
simple practice that once learned takes 20 minutes a day and can relieve
the stress and tension that stands between you and a richer and healthier life.
The technique was developed by Herbert Benson, M.D. at Harvard Medical School,
tested extensively and written up in his book entitled, of all things, "the
Relaxation Response".

Illnesses we treat We treat syndromes that are chronic and outside the bloodstream. Our exams can lead to the diagnosis of pfiesteria, ciguatera, cylindrospermopsis (blue green algae in central Florida), sick building syndrome, Lyme disease, and soon chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic soft tissue injury pathways when our clinical data reach statistical certainty.
How can we help you
Standard medical diagnostic tests are usually normal in patients who have these neurotoxin illnesses, which makes it so difficult to diagnose and treat. We have a simple diagnostic tool that accurately identifies the presence of neurotoxins, enabling us to diagnose treat these diseases effectively. The diagnostic tool we use is called the Visual Contrast Sensitivity Exam (VCS Exam). http://www.chronicneurotoxins.com/

All these nutrients, even without the other substances contained in dandelions, are enough to explain the reputation they have as a liver tonic, blood purifier, anemia arrester, vision improver, reducer of cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and a host of other things.

A. Is fever adaptive? Possible hypotheses for
fever:
1. Reducing fever helps stop viral infection if
viral toxins raise body temperature to favor more rapid reproduction
2. High temperatures may interfere with viral
growth or enhance immune response
B. Evidence
1. Taking fever reducing medicine did not help
individuals that were infected with rhinovirus (cold virus)
2. Immune response of placebo group was stronger,
suggesting anti-fever drugs interfere with immune response

AND last but NOT least! Study Shows Healing Power
Of Humor
Healthy Humor Humor may help heal. A new report
says that laughter helped reduce allergic symptoms. In a letter published in
the Journal of the American Medical Association, Japanese researchers
described how allergic skin welts shrank in patients who watched a
Charlie Chaplin movie. The researchers 26 men and women with allergies to dust
mites. The patients were injected with allergens and the welts they
developed were measured. They were then split into two groups. One group
watched video on weather, while the other group watched Chaplin's
"Modern Times." After 87 minutes, researchers measured the
welts again. They found that the welts shrank in the patients who'd seen the
funny video, but not in those who'd seen the weather video. The
researchers could not say how the humor reduced the allergic reactions. But
The Associated Press quotes another expert as saying that since stress the
immune system, easing stress through laughter may help immune function.
