I'll try the comfrey. I planted some in my woods a few years back. I was told to drink black cherry juice each morning. I am a very long distance from a decent store so that's just not convenient. I'll check into more herbals, too.
Thank You

My mom helped someone with their gout by having them take 2-3 kelp tablets daily and drinking comfrey tea (no more than one cup a day).

MM all.
I got a question right off.....

Has anyone used or know someone who's used Purple Sticky Salvia??? Me and a couple friends founs a shop that sells it and we were wondering what it's like....

I have used silver in colloid form both at home for my family as well for my high risk patients for over 10 years. I love it. Almost anything that most people & doctors will use Neosporin for, I use a silver colloid. External use only. It has only been the very rare occasion where it doesn't work.

Also, when anyone around me gets burned, I immediately reach for a frozen stem of our aloe plant to cool it. But once panic has died down, I usually rub a nice layer of silver colloid before applying bandaid or gauze.

Whether an infection or burn though, I haven't found anything that cools & soothes skin as quickly as this stuff. Well, other than ice which gets messy!

Hope my experience with this goop helps someone!

The problem is this people over use. Just like dr's over prescribing penicillin. It isn't meant to be taken constantly. Only when extremely needed. The body builds up immunity to it & can take on toxicity from it. Like everything in life, one should take things in moderation.

Hi Magister
I have read some medical papers on colloidal silver and there seems to be benefits for and against...in other words "the jury's out" on this. I have however seen first hand, very rapid recovery from eye infections such as stys and conjunctivitis as well as allergy eyes. Personally I would not take it internally...there are quite a few nasty side effects. I agree with Laura... traditional herbs are the better way to go and work with the body's DNA.
Blessings!

I have used homemade colloidal silver (my hubby, an electronics technician, made me a generator with the correct voltage) with some success. It is definitely a topical microbicide - will knock out things like athlete's foot and similar fungus, ringworm, will stop wounds from getting infected. Hospitals are now using silver-impregnated wound dressings because silver has such great antimicrobial properties.

I'm more skeptical about colloidal silver internally. I've tried it a couple times but was not impressed. I find the traditional herbs such as garlic, thyme and echinacea, to be much more effective for systemic illness.

Gretings to all within.
Does anyone have an opinion, or experience of making/using " Colloidal Silver ", and do they know if its anti viral properties claimed are realistic or quackery please?
Blessings,
M.
