    Default Colloidal silver is not working for me!!!

    I so hoped this stuff would work, but it's not. I have a really bad flu. I've had a fever for three days now, I lost my voice so it's completely almost gone, sore throat, cough, congestion, nausea, and my left ear is infected. I've been drinking tea with lemon and honey, taking large doses of vitamin C... I'm not getting better.

    yesterday i bought colloidal silver and took a couple dropperfuls and it didn't do anything. Since then i've probably had another 3-4 dropperfuls and still... nothing. Could i be allergic to it?? could it be making me worse?? I just feel like shit and i want to be bettter NOW because i need to work because I'm moving in a couple days and have to make money!!!! AGH.

    am i taking it wrong?

    ..it doesn't work instantly or in a day?

    I took mine for a month before I finally stopped getting sick entirely.

    Just don't take CS like this man. You'll be a smurf.

    If you were allergic you would have had a negative reaction to it like hives or feeling of hard to breathe for example. Give it time to work.

    Perhaps because its pseudoscience?

    The key is to take it as soon as you are getting sick, not when youre already sick, though it should still help. Your doses are pretty small though. Have you done drops in your ears ( try to lie on your side with it in there for 6 minuttes if you can each ear) and up the nose too?
    Which vitamin C are you taking? If it has calcium in it you wont absorb the C.

    Maybe consider adding oil of oregano to your list. It's a real powerful antibacterial, antiviral, anti-blahblahblah. It works really well.

    Be really careful with it. I saw that man Tigermilk posted on Oprah and he turned blue because he took too much of it.

    Ir wasn't because he took too much, it's because he didn't make it properly.

    i am vegan. i eat honey. local honey is good for your immune system and good for sore throats. the benefits outweigh the negatives. and i don't care what anyone says about it.

    Actually its a combination of both. Drinking a little poorly made Colloidal Silver isnt going to make you turn blue.
    I think people should certainly be aware of argyria (the turning blue thing), but theres no need to panic about it IMO. Its rare - an awful thing to live with obviously, but thats the only side effect. People take all sorts of other medications that have much more frequent side effects.

    i'm feeling a little better today... my sore throat is almost gone, but now i have a cough, my left ear is still infected and i'm all dizzy/achey still. i tried putting the CS in my ears but it didn't seem to do anything.

    whats weird is that when i woke up my gums in between two of my teeth were super swollen, i swished the CS around in my mouth for a bit and now they're almost back down to normal.

    ^^^Im glad its helped something!
    I put the CS in a spray bottle and spray my throat if I have a cough. Make sure the bottles glass though if youre gong to leave it in there, it looses its charge if its stored in plastic.

    gypsy, you need garlic drops for your ears. I believe it will be called mullein garlic drops. What you need to do it put the jar of it in a glass of hot water til it is warmed, drop a few drops in each of your ears, and then put a cotton ball in. Last time I had ear problems, I did this three time a day for 2 days and felt 100% better. good luck!!

    a flu is a virus.... the doctor can't do anything other than tell me how to spot treat the symptoms. I have health insurance, but I still haven't picked out a doctor here in portland to go to since i've lived here, I'm going to once I move into my new house though , because it's in a different area of town near a naturopathic doctor covered by my insurance.

    I'm on my 5/6th day of being sick with the flu... that's normal right?

    not really, no. flu is usually 1-3 days. tends to turn into pneumonia if it goes much longer, at least with kids and others with delicate immune systems.

    Not always. The 1-3 days theory is for the average person. There will always be people who only have it a day, and then some people who have it like 7-8 days. It depends on the person.

    There used to be a saying something about the flu lasts about 7 days with medical treatment and about a week without it. As long as its not getting worse!
