Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hi I am interested in talking to your friend who used CS for their lyme. Is there anyway to contact her? I have friends dealing with the same thing.

The biggest risk of too much CS seems to be blue skin. This seems to be the FDAs concern, along with the difficulty of knowing the exact dosage one is getting.However, blue skin can be a cheap price to pay for some situations. A close friend of mine with Lyme Disease had become incapacitated to the point of not being able to drive her car any longer and was confined to a wheel chair. After half of a year on CS she was able to start driving again and leading a semi-normal life. Her skin did not turn blue and at the quantities she used was highly unlikely ever to. However, given the choice between being able to carry out almost normal activities versus not having the strength, coordination, or clarity of mind to do the things she wanted, she preferred getting back to normal even if her skin would have turned blue.The risk of blue skin is about zero for moderate CS consumption.Again, CS has not generally been effective for treatment of MS or its symptoms. However, if it can reduce the number of colds or flu attacks, then it can have value even for those with MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
