Today I am so excited to share with y'all about a helpful and affordable Lyme supplement that I have found to be key in my healing journey- which is Silver. Silver is a natural remedy with historical references as far back as 1000BC. At this time the Persian King Cyrus used silver to help treat the drinking water (most likely assuming to kill the bacteria that was in it). In World War I there are references that silver was used to treat wounds and since the 1920s silver has been approved by the FDA to use for a variety of infections.
In Lyme world it seems that it common to hear about the use of silver in treatment. Silver is known to be an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and an anti-viral product so it hits the Lyme on a multitude of levels.
One book on the topic of Silver and Lyme Disease is: The Micro-Silver Bullet: A Scientifically Documented Answer to the Three Largest Epidemics in the World: Lyme Disease, Aids Virus, Yeast Infection, and the Common Cold (you can find it by clicking HERE). It's an older book (from 1997), but is one of the only books that delves into the scientific properties of Lyme and the use of silver. Dr. Farber (the author of the book) goes into specific clinical research and how the silver kills the bacterial spirochete of Lyme. It's an interesting and fascinating read if you are wanting to delve more into research as you discuss with your doctor about this.
There are lots of different theories and ideas about the type of silver to use, and the best recommendation is to always consult with your physician before starting this, or any treatment! Due to my specific issues with Lyme there are many times that a variety of different companies have the same product but I have to use a quality rich supplement from a specific company due to manufacturing. I hope that these help! Here in no particular order are two silver products that I used to use or still use everyday:

1. Silver Biotics
Silver Biotics was the first silver product that I added into my health regime back before I had the official diagnosis of Lyme. At the beginning of my Lyme journey I started getting infection after infection (due to the weakened immune system) and a natural doctor at the time recommended it. They specifically recommended this brand and while I tried other brands, this specific one has done wonders for my health.
Over the years I have tried to locate this specific product at a variety of health stores. I have found it at many, but the price has always been the cheapest on Amazon. You can find it for less than $43 on Amazon by clicking HERE.

Results RNA ACS 200 Extra Strength Collodial Silver, or ACS Silver as I have nicknamed it, was first introduced to me while I was out at the Whitaker Wellness Institute in 2013. While it was necessary to part ways with Whitaker's (due to the severity of my case and their inability to handle my complex case, and a severe difference over how to treat Advanced Late Stage Lyme, I remain forever grateful for the part in my journey that they did have, for the way that they saved my life, and the referral to see an oncologist.)
This was one product from that time that I kept and have continued using over the years. I researched so much about it and have definitely felt that it has contributed to my success of beating Lyme. Here is what Results RNA says about the product:
- Kills pathogens 1,000,000 times more effectively than competing brands based on independent laboratory research
- ACS 200 Extra Strength achieves 99.9999% (complete) kill against Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella henselae and co-infection microorganisms Powassan virus, MRSA and more without harming healthy flora or damaging human tissue.
- Effective against an enormous array of disease causing organisms; including bacteria, spirochetes, virus, fungus, parasites & more without harming healthy flora or damaging human tissue.
- Provides 200 ppm of uniquely energized silver molecules, suspended in "wetter water," enabling rapid absorption and utilization by all biological systems. (source)
A note of caution- I think the company recommends 12 sprays of silver twice a day for the intense treatment and 6 sprays twice a day for maintanence and it is a TON if you are in a fragile state... the herxing is intense. Definitely consult with your physician for yourself about the amount to take before starting. My medical team has me on a specific amount that has worked well for my body!
Also- Results RNA has several other things that some Lymies find helpful if you want to explore more about their products!
If you are looking to purchase, the cheapest I have found it on is Amazon. You can find it for less than $35 on Amazon by clicking HERE.
I hope that this helps those of you who are researching more information about silver! Let me know if you have any questions!
