"After discovering that I have Lyme disease since 1992 despite 2 tests back in 1992 and 1998 that said i was neg. I have remained pretty much healthy until the past few years when some of the more common lyme symptoms showed up such as the joint and neck pain as well as the memory loss and fatigue. (I can even see the spirochetes moving around in my vision if i stare up at the sky). I decided to look into treatments naturally and found out about the benefits of Colloidial silver.

After much research I found out that Germ Slayer was considered the best there was so I bought a 16 OZ bottle to try out. One of the first things I did (since not being familiar with how effective silver is and admittingly being skeptical) was to do some experements to see if this stuff actually did what it said. There is so much confusing info on the internet and so many sites including the FDA saying that silver is ineffective and dangerous that I had to see some proof that this stuff actually kills off bacteria. So one of the first experiments I did was to see how well it preserved milk at room temperature, since this was a common claim that pioneers of old used to keep milk fresh by placing a silver dollar in a jug of milk. So, I labeled two cups. One was "control" and the other was "treated". I poured 4 ounces of skim milk (we don't use whole) in each and put one teaspoon of Germ Slayer in the treated cup and stirred it in. I left both sit out at room temperature. They both sat for 3 days with no visual change but on the 4th day, to my amazement, the one marked "control" had totally curdled and the "treated" remained liquid. I was absolutely astonished!

At this point, I had already started to take 2-3 tablespoons a day of Germ Slayer to help combat Lyme. After 3 days I started to notice what you all call the herxheimer effect. I started to develop these odd dull headaches. My joint pain and neck pain started to get worse and my fatigue would increase. It almost felt like the onset of the flu except it never became the flu. These effects would come and go. I realized this was further proof that I had lyme. Whereas this was uncomfortable, it was tolerable and overall satisfying knowing that the bacteria was dying off. I know this is just the beginning but I am highly encouraged to continue treatment and see how it helps.

A few other things I want to mention. Along with the effects I described above, I also notice the appearance of pimples and small rashes. I learned that this was a common effect of herxheimer as well. One amazing effect I did notice is that I started to breathe much easier through my nose. I have been experiencing almost constant sinus congestion for years and for the first time I have been able to breathe through my nose almost consistantly since I have been on this stuff! One of the ways I realized this is that I suddenly was aware that my sense of smell had increased. Foods and odors became much stronger and I slept better because I was able to breathe better at night! This was something I wasn't expecting to happen but it is a welcome benefit! I also tried it as a replacement for deoderant and it works very very well to control underam odor with the exception that it doesn't help as well to prevent perspiring. I find now that I don't itch as much as I did using the common canned stuff.

For those who are wondering, I have not had any issues so far with skin color changing or related. I learned this is an effect of abused use and poorly produced silver. So don't let this discourage you from the benefits of this stuff!

I will update how this helps my lyme condition since I have only just begun using silver ( 3 weeks so far )."
