Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 HI Ron, I appreciate the " critique " WOW!, I guess I stepped into a hornets nest. But I have to share knowledge and experience that I know has helped me. First, I have no financial interest in silver of any kind. I have made my own colodial silver for about nine years. If I knew it would hurt anyone,I sure would NOT post it here or anywhere else. It is claimed to kill harmful virus in the body. It sure works for me. I know one friend who was horribly burned over a major part of his body and the burn institute kept burned areas damp with CS to minimize infections that otherwise would have survival unlikely. I am told that NASA uses it on their space flights to minimize the growth of harmful bacteria. I do know that the medical profession and the AMA is very much against it's use for anything. There is no profit to the medical professionals when colloidal silver is used. It has been used for over a hundred years before we had penicillin or other antibiotics. It worked. I'm seventy-five years old and used to catch any " Bug " that came around. Been diabetic for 25 yrs, and since using CS, I have NOT had the flu, (I don't take flu shots anymore), I just don't catch colds and my wounds heal without complications. I don't sell CS, but I do share batches that I make with family and friends. (FREE-no charges) I do not profit from CS in any way, except I get a great charge out of helping others who have really benefitted from it's use. I've seen it work many times. The medical profession cannot profit much from healing people but sure profit when you remain sick, the big drug companies sure don't want to lose sales of their products. I know from personal experience that it has helped to prolong my very life and it has NOT hurt me. It's very cheap if you make it yourself and it works a lot better than a lot of prescriptions medications. I think most doctors sincerely want to heal their patients but they are mislead by a lot of negative info about outside treatments. What can it hurt to try it. If it works you are that much ahead with a new way to beat the bug. It it does not work then go back to the orthodox medicals. I don't think you will go back. Anyone really interested should start reading whats on the internet WITH AN OPEN MIND. Just look under " Colloidal Silver " . I wish you all well. dp --- ron42nm wrote: > > > > > HI all, I am finding silver can heal many health > problems. I'm also a > > type II diabetic.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 All I can say on this subject is I doubt the original poster DP is even here anymore. The poor guy just came on and said he had good luck with using this - and he wondered if diabetics could use it. He got royally jumped on for asking a question. There are tactful ways of 'helping' someone instead of attacking him and asking for proof that this remedy worked for him. Good grief, he didn't say anyone else should use it - that wasn't even the original question. IF someone had information on this product, a more tactful and less hurtful way to say things is " you might want to look at these links before continuting to use this product as they shed some light about it you might not know about " (of course I tried this approach a while back and still got attacked so who knows). At any rate, people should think before they post. While this information is good and informative, it was the way it was doled out that was really inappropriate for someone looking for help. He did not in any way suggest that anyone else use it - that was not the question. Sandy Re: COLLIODAL SILVER & DIABETES We should never be quick to discount anything, IMHO.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I would have to agree with Sandy on this. You don't have to be rude to people just because you don't believe in the same things they do. I have read quite often about people using colloidal silver and having great results. I have also heard it is toxic. I have used it at one time and not had much in the way of results. Everyone reacts differently to different things. Colloidal silver is considered a homeopathic and from what I've read, most homeopathics are toxic if they aren't used properly. But they must work for quite a few people or they wouldn't sell so many. Many in the medical profession won't use any kind of homeopathic or natural treatment because they say no one has proved them safe. But how many of your drugs you take are absolutely safe. I know that both of the ones I was put on have bad side effects for some people. One can cause severe liver damage. The other, as has been said before, causes a rise in cholesterol. So the drugs aren't any safer than the natural treatments. Darlene Re: Re: COLLIODAL SILVER & DIABETES All I can say on this subject is I doubt the original poster DP is even here anymore.

You don't have to be rude to people just because you don't believe in the same things they do. I agree. I've apologized for my rudeness. >I have read quite often about people using colloidal silver and having great results. I have also heard it is toxic. I have used it at one time and not had much in the way of results.< What kind of results were you looking for? >Everyone reacts differently to different things. Colloidal silver is considered a homeopathic and from what I've read, most homeopathics are toxic if they aren't used properly. < Homeopathy is a fully discredited medical philosophy. The idea that using less and less of something to the vanishing point is more effective has long ago been disproven. Please show me any medical evidence that homeopathy has any validity. >But they must work for quite a few people or they wouldn't sell so many.< My contention is that they sell so much because they are slick marketers and some people get a placebo effect - in other words, if you believe you'll feel better, there's a chance you will, whether the medicine has anything to do with it or not. The placebo effect is very well documented and accepted. > > Many in the medical profession won't use any kind of homeopathic or natural treatment because they say no one has proved them safe.< No, homeopathic drugs are generally safe. They just don't work and are a waste of money, and delay effective treatment. >But how many of your drugs you take are absolutely safe. I know that both of the ones I was put on have bad side effects for some people. One can cause severe liver damage. The other, as has been said before, causes a rise in cholesterol. So the drugs aren't any safer than the natural treatments.< Very, very few medications are absolutely safe. However, the important thing that does make them safer is that side effects and toxicities are known, and you and your physician can look out for them. With rare exceptions, toxicities will reverse when caught early. With many of the alternative medicine products, side effects and toxicites have never been studied, and hence you and your physician don't know what to look out for. This much increases the risk that toxicities will get out of hand before being discovered. For example, if a medication is known to sometimes cause liver toxicity, your physician can do liver function blood tests every 3-6 months and detect minimal toxicity long before you develop any symptoms. Liver disease has to be very far advanced before you would notice anything. However, if you are on something with unknown toxicites, your physician can not do every test imaginable every 3-6 months, so if it does damage your liver, the damage will be much more advanced when it is discovered.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 My two cents: The original poster was trying to do good, but could have done harm by leading folks to take this home remedy wrong. So the responses helped by alerting everyone to the poisonous aspect of colloidial silver, when taken internally. Having said that, everyone could use a nicer tone on this, including those asking for medical proof. Hopefully other folks who post home remedies will be more thorough and clearer in how they expect it to be used, and in what their exact experiences with it are. Bill > > You won't find any medical evidence of something working if they don't want you to find something working. There are plenty of people and animals that have had much improvement to arthritis and joint pains using glucosamine or condroitin Sulfate, but last year the pharmaceutical companies came out with that they had conducted research and none of it does any good. Maybe people can think that something that doesn't work does, but the animals can't. They don't know if something is real or a placebo. That is no different than your saying that it is proved that none of the homeopathics work. What the pharmaceutical industry wants to be said about it is what is said about it. > > The people who I have read statements from that have had homeopathics work are not those who are selling them and trying to make money.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hi Dan, Glad you are still here. I met with similar demise when I posted a while back that some people didn't agree with. You will get this with all groups unfortunately. Seems you have to watch every word you post and some people want proof of things you say. Generally, though the group is helpful. I will say that I don't post as often and will keep most things to myself now as well. Merry Christmas back at ya! Sandy Re: COLLIODAL SILVER & DIABETES OHHHH, I'm here alright. Don't worry, I will NEVER try to suggest anything that might " help " anyone here again. (snip) Again Merry Christmas. dp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
