I just need a picture or two of your child with a sentence or two about their situation. You can put factual information, like, "sick for five years,"or you can put "the human side" like, "watching his soccer team from the sidelines." Whatever you are comfortable sharing about your child's  journey through Lyme.

3. Colloidal Silver

CS is a  germicidal and antibacterial. It also  supports the natural 

defence system of the body and is powerfully alkaline. Research shows that it works by acting as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that single-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses require for the metabolism of oxygen.  This then suffocates the invading cell whilst doing no harm to any human enzymes, resulting in the removal of disease-causing organisms from the body.
