My Personal Testimony

Update: January 2005. Well, it's been, lets see... OVER FOUR YEARS with no bronchitis, pneumonia, flu, or any other major illness since I last reported to you. (see story about my trip to Ontario below) Yes, I've been attacked by the evil little bugs, but I've fought them off victoriously every time before suffering any negative symptoms. I've got so much sick time saved up where I work, it's rediculous.

How I was introduced to colloidal silver

Back in 1998 my daughter, Jenny, found out she had leukemia. I immediately started searching the internet for alternative treatments to cancer. I discovered a whole new world to which I had not been previously exposed. Needless to say, my eyes were opened. One of the most important discoveries, along with garlic, essiac, oil of oregano, Royal Rife technology, Doctors Beck and Becker, was the use of colloidal silver (CS) to treat illness. Update: Jenny is now over 6 years out since her transplant and very active in activities like Race for the Cure, etc.

People were claiming all sorts of "cures" from colloidal silver. I had to learn more. I continued researching the subject, purchased my first CS generator and began experimenting with it. Prior to using CS I suffered from chronic sinusitis, occasional bronchitis and pneumonia, seasonal allergies and a little asthma too. I became quite expert at diagnosing my own pneumonia. The docs would swear I didn't have it, but sure enough, after the x-ray, they would just scratch their chin and admit, "I guess you're right."

The first thing I noticed is that my sinusitis cleared up and has never returned. I kept making and using colloidal silver every day as a preventive treatment strategy. Well, along came 2001 and I was bragging to everyone about being illness-free (unheard of for me) for three years when I went on a trip to Ontario, Oregon, without my CS. After teaching for the day, my throat was quite dry and irritated. By the time I returned home, I had a full-blown infection that, as usual, went to my lungs and I was quite upset about it. That's no coincidence. I didn't have a nebulizer at the time so I couldn't really get the CS properly to the location of the infection in my lungs. I had to settle for some antibiotics and was sick for about 10 days. Soon after that I bought a nice little nebulizer.

In my personal research, I have found that to make CS work most effectively, I had to locate the CS at the source of the illness. So, for sinusitis, I introduced the CS as a mist into the sinus cavities. For respiratory illness, I introduced CS into the lungs using a nebulizer. For ear infections, CS drops did the job quite well. If I feel any "systemic" symptoms coming on...aches, chills, etc, I drink a few ounces every half hour for a few hours to increase the level of CS throughout the body. For eye infections, I merely spray CS directly on to the eye which is not only soothing, but quickly reduces the infection. For cuts, I merely placed a couple of drops of CS on the pad of a band aid. Just try that. You'll see no inflammation and healing will occur much more quickly. Using these protocols, I've been able to effectively prevent various bacterial and/or viral "invasions" through the years.

Tyler, was relieved of a terribly painful ear infection in a matter of one hour. My mother-in-law suffered from an ear infection for three days...put some CS in her ears and was just fine the next morning! My son was experiencing a hacking cough with congestion. He nebulized once, and the next day he noticed the cough was gone and he felt much better.
The FDA says that, since I've used CS for a prolonged period, I should have a condition called argyria and look like my picture to the right, but alas, not so. Frankly, I don't know of any CS user that has or is suffering any symptoms whatsoever of argyria from pure CS. Rosemary Jacobs used some kind of compound perscribed by her doctor. Stan Jones confessed to drinking ill-prepared, unfiltered, and very sludgy silver mixture. Pure CS is not a "silver compound," and therefore, by definition should not be a cause of argyria, but I guess the FDA conveniently let that fact slip by.

Consequently, it doesn't matter what the FDA, the FTC, Quackwatch, or any other establishment wonks say...MY RESEARCH AND PERSONAL USE PROVES TO ME THAT COLLOIDAL SILVER WORKS! I've tested it. I encourage you to spend some time surfing my website for information on colloidal silver. Don't just take my word or the word of others. Test it yourself.

With all the anecdotal evidence supporting the safe use of CS, I wonder why the FDA, AMA, and private/educational research facilities don't put more effort into clinical research. Could it be the money? Are those at the top of the pharma/medical food chain more interested in managing illness rather than preventing illness? Do they strangle those practitioners who want to use all available resources to eliminate illness? Well, I don't have time to worry about that. All I can do is help myself and inform others as best I can. ;-)
