Re: CS and Lymes
According to Utopia Silver owner Ben Taylor, Lyme is another one of those conditions where no two people and incidence seem to be exactly the same. His advice is to work your way up to a truly therapeutic dose of an ounce or so a day and continue until successful. One reason to work your way up is due to the Herxheimer effect, where often a person feels worse before they feel better while using succesful therapy

Many people who use silver think that the dosage recommended on the bottle of a teaspoon or so twice a day is a therapeutic dosage. It isn't - that is merely a maintenance dosage and good for general protection against pathogens. Systemic illnesses and really tough ones require a considerably larger amount. I have been known to drink half a bottle a day to knock out bugs in a hurry. That might get a bit pricey if you were doing that with a top CS like Utopia's Advanced Silver (me, I just walk over to the big dispenser at Utopia Silver and fill my bottle whenever I want). In that case, perhaps a combo of some US product and the quality stuff you can make at home with a Silver Puppy would be good.
(If I ever make and market my own CS, you can bet that the premium stuff I sell will be a combo of silver like you can make from the Puppy and the Utopia Silver product (because you cannot duplicate the way they make theirs at home, unless you are pretty advanced in engineering and have more than a little spare change.)
Some may be worried about the so-called "blue skin" effect, known as Argyria, which really should not be a problem, but Ben says the best way for anyone to watch for the possibility is to watch for unusual "bluing" at the fingernail cuticle site.
