The benefit of true colloidal silver is it gets everything at once. It kills all bacteria, protozoa, 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 a few months and have just started my family on it about a month ago. I stopped my antibiotics and had several major herxes and now am asymptomatic! My daughter has been on abx for 8 years. Every time we took her off she relapsed immediately. She stopped her abx 6 weeks ago and is doing fantastic! ~

We (my family) suffer from neurological Lyme, Lyme Neuroborreliosis, including psychiatric symptoms.

We were on psychiatric meds, which did help some, until we were diagnosed and treated for our tick- borne diseases. The antibiotic treatment ended, completely for 2 of us, and greatly decreased for 1, our psychiatric symptoms. Our daughter was the sickest of us, she missed her full 3rd and 4th grade school years due to symptoms of neuroborreliosis. Her psychiatric symptoms have ended completely since she has been treated with antibiotics by Dr. Charles Ray Jones. Both our kids were put on psychiatric meds, which increased their weight dramatically, made them groggy and slowed their thinking. Sadly, it is much easier to find a doctor willing to put your child on potentially harmful psychiatric meds than it is to find a doctor that will treat Lyme aggressively with antibiotics. Especially for children. Dr. Jones is literally a God send. There seems to be no cure for chronic Lyme in adults and there are no studies being done to find a cure because the NIH and CDC are still not sure if there is any possibility chronic Lyme even exists. Despite scientific evidence: Articles of persistent infection Our daughter spent 3 1/2 weeks in a locked pediatric psychiatric unit in the summer of 1998. She turned nine years old just weeks before. She was paranoid, delusional, psychotic, suicidal, homicidal, having visual hallucinations, severe confusion, pain in major and small joints, partially lost vision (could no longer read, which she had loved), had severe cognitive regression (which included being unable to add 1 + 2, literally, and she knew it) and suffered with dementia.
Because she could not attend public school she was placed in a "behavioral program" locally. At this "school" she was physically restrained and put in solitary confinement almost daily for 3 months. There she cried, fought with her very real "ogres", screamed, beat on the matt which was used to contain her, and finally would curl up in a fetal ball on the cold floor in the corner and sob. My husband found her in this "room" one day and removed her from the "school" immediately. She then spent 3 months at home with no schooling available for her.
The list of psychiatric meds she took is extensive. The ones that helped her were: Lithium, Risperdal, Tegretol, Topamax, and Klonapin. Her psychiatric diagnoses were: bipolar II, anxiety disorder NOS, ADHD, psychosis, R/O schizoaffective, R/O schizophrenia.
Some of her test results; her IQ dropped 45 points in 6 months, two abnormal MRIs both with MULTIPLE lesions throughout the brain, predominately in the frontal lobes, two abnormal SPECT scans showing low blood flow, hypoprofusion, to the prefrontal lobes, an abnormal visual evoked potential, indicating abnormalities in either the visual cortex of the brain or equal damage to both optic nerves, repeated tests showing ketoglutarate in urine and finally the blood test results which showed the infections.
Our child was a patient of 16 doctors and NONE knew what was wrong with her. We heard repeatedly "Your child's case is the most complicated case I have seen" from doctors and medical professionals with many years of experience, often the head of their departments at very famous hospitals like Boston Children's and Mass General..
They did not diagnose our daughter, I did. I found Dr. Robert Bransfield's "The Neuropsychiatric Assessment of Lyme Disease". http://www.mentalhealthandillness.com/lymeframes.html (click link "Neuropsychiatric Assessment Article " to go to the ARTICLE) and then Dr. Brian Fallon's "Neuropsychiatric Manifestations of Lyme Borreliosis " http://columbia-lyme.org/flatp/lymeoverview.html
It took me FOUR months after I found these articles and knew what was plaguing her to find a doctor to diagnose and treat her. Many doctors would not even run new Lyme tests as she had been tested years before and results were negative. Negative test results do NOT mean the patient does not have active infection. Her tests never came back positive until she had been on antibiotics for 2 and 1/2 years. Her immune system had given up fighting the disease so there were no antibodies to show on the tests. She was bounced around from doctor to doctor. Each one in turn "passing the buck" which just happened to be our suffering child. After we found a doctor to treat her I started thinking about our son and my symptoms and realized we all probably were infected. Testing and appointments with Lyme literate MDs found we all did have Lyme and other TBD.
Our kids are under the care of a living Saint (their LLMD), Dr. Charles Ray Jones, and since being treated with long-term antibiotic treatment they are in school, have friends and are miraculously recovering from these devastating diseases.

UPDATE: 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. SNIP

There is a lot more info at this link: http://purestcolloids.com/ionic.htm

Aluwe ( http://germslayer.net/ ) is selling a similar silver as Meso (Purest Colloidals) for about twice as much as Meso. Aluwe's bottles say "Manufactured for and distributed by Aluwe" Their site says >>>Using nano-technology, we achieved a proprietary breakthrough which combines 9 atoms of pure silver together in the space of just 2 atoms...literally 1-2 nanometers in size. Compare this to a Borrellia bacteria which is about 20,000 nanometers. Moving freely throughout the body, our extremely small pure silver particles successfully penetrate and kill bacteria and viruses.<<<
