Hello everyone,

I was diagnosed with Lyme November last year, have been on doxycycline whole December without any herxing except for diarrhea for the first 3-4 days. The last five days of my abx i added colloidal silver. I began experiencing a lot of muscle twitches, fatigue, pains, cognitive problems, chest tightness, heart palpitations and more almost immediately after taking my first doses. This persisted I even upped the dose and got so bad that i couldn't get out of bed basically thinking i was going to die. The dose wasn't large either, first it was 1tbsp 10ppm twice daily, then i upped it to 2tbsp twice. The effects were almost immediate. My heart would start racing at first and then all the other symptoms would kick in. So i stopped the Colloidal silver in the end of January.

I have now started taking it again even in smaller doses and with 5ppm concentration, and today is the third day and same thing happens, almost immediate heart palpitations, chest tightness, followed by fatigue, dizziness, muscle twitching, pains... etc.

Has anyone experienced this with CS or any other drug? Can i be herxing so soon after taking a dose?

Colloidal silver can definitely bring on a herx quickly. When I started taking it, I herxed that day. My symptoms were mild, mostly crackly joints, but it still showed that things were dying.

Hi topkitena - welcome to our community!

Although I haven't taken colloidal silver - I have read that others do herx on it.

How much are you detoxing? When we treat, it is crucial that we detox - daily - multiple methods.
We need to flush out the toxins that are created from die-off of bacteria. This will help lessen the severity of the herxes.

Because you are new here, it would be helpful for you to read through the "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" thread at the top of the page.

Are you currently being treated by a LLMD?

Nah, we don't have LLMD's here in Bulgaria. I'm being treated by some professor which is considered the best in the country for Lyme as well as a homeopathic doctor. But colloidal silver is a thing that I take on my own, after reading so much success stories on it as well as i have met a guy here in Bulgaria who cured his Lyme with it.
I had Lyme for 7+ years after finally finding out last November with all kinds of crazy symptoms, mainly neurological ones. I detox a lot also.

What I'm concerned is can i herx so fast after taking my first doses, almost within minutes after taking a dose, and the dose is quite low? Also the herx seems to be quite unusual involving the heart palpitations, pains around that area and chest tightness, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, muscle twitching, joint pain, nerve pains...

Has anyone herxed like that?

Careful using silver.

i have read previous articles stating it was ionic silver. Ionic silver binds with selenium or something, thus fills up the cell, and causes argyia.

argyia is that blue skin pigmentation

so yea, actual colloids are fine. And dont drink the copper colloid, not good, unless theres a clean method to do it.

and those folks herxing so bad, heart palpitations? you should see a homeopath and herbalist.


herbs are very good stuff also.

Topkitena........CS Did not do a thing to me...I still have it in my fridge. I even bought a book on colloidal silver...I took it for a while....maybe 3 weeks.
I wonder if you were herxing from doxycline instead at week 4, because that is exactly what happened to me.

My llmd uses colloidal silver and says herxes do happen on it. But he does it iv or infusion.
Posted 10/13/2016 6:52 AM (GMT 0)
Yes ive had these exact same herx responses but to other things I've ingested not CS and yes ive had them happen almost immediately. Its scary as hell. Proly the scariest herx known. Ive referred to them as its like a drug induced panic attack until i learned what they actually are. If it was me i real back dosage and start with a drop and work up. I would never chug down a tbl spoon or 2 that is a lot of the most potent abx known to man. Also keep in mind ur killing good bacteria as well so i would look into some probiotics to suppliment. I would also look into a binder like benonite clay to help soak up those toxins to move them out better when detoxing.

Were you able to continue the colloidal silver treatment? I started and the heat palpitations made stop.

I took a form of colloidal silver for two years, along with Bicillin shots, and got back to near “normal” in 2015 and 2016. Both made the difference, but then it was simpler as I was just dealing with Borellia. Silver came in the form of Argentyn 23, which, I believe, has smaller particles.

If you drink too much alcohol, you can get alcohol poisoning. Look at the amount of silver the person who turned blue in the link drank each day before of silver. Common sense should tell you take it by teaspoon fulls, not like a drink.

I didn’t have bad herx on it, but no doubt I could feel it a little. Argentyn 23 is supposed to be a safer form of it.

And I never turned blue😊.

I was just taking 1 teaspoon mornings and one in the evenings. I lowered ro 1/4 of a teaspoon now. I hope I can handle it 🙏🏼

Wasn’t suggesting you were asking a lot. Just didn’t want you worried about turning blue. I had concerns about that when I first considered taking it, but then I read how much was being consumed.

What you are taking is about right. And as others have mentioned, you can adapt as needed. But also wanted to point out it did help me, but I’ve got so much going on now even a little causes a reaction.
