Swine Flu, Bird Flu, SARS H5N1 etc

Swine flu is the latest flu pandemic and is causing great concern. Prior to this, we had the Bird Flu virus & SARS. It seems these viral outbreaks are becoming commonplace and I suspect there will be others in the not too distant future.

Our view is although the government are making Tamiflu available to anyone, there still seems to be doubt about its effectiveness. Recently, it was suggested that two inoculations would be required, not one. With reference to the articles below, we believe that Colloidal Silver could act as a preventative against these viruses. It is important that you understand that this has not been proved.

There are many theories about where & when this virus started and even that it is man made and has been deliberately released but we cannot comment on these theories and is outside the scope of this article.

The following points may be of useful.

• Colloidal Silver is a mineral solution NOT a medication and it is more likely to help when used as a preventative.

• Colloidal Silver uses the natural antimicrobial properties of elemental silver. All we do is make these natural properties available in a solution.

• Various articles have shown that Colloidal Silver has antiviral properties and may therefore be an effective preventative but we have no information using it as a cure.

• Although we would recommend using Colloidal Silver as a preventative, always take the advise of your Practitioner & use Colloidal Silver in addition to their advice not instead of it.

• Always use your common sense and keep away from obviously infected people and follow the general advice that is being given out.

Dosage - Our standard advice on the amount to take is the same as that stated on our Information sheet, which we have partially reproduced below. Again we remind you that Colloidal Silver is a mineral solution designed to deliver trace silver and we theorise that it is much better used as a preventative.

Please look at the main part of our site for further information as this article is purley to help with viral flu. You may wish to look in the Uses section where there is a wealth of information in the Application guide.

The Nutritional dose is designed for a normally fit and healthy person to maintain the presence of trace silver whereas the Therapeutic dose is the suggested starting point to help deal with an ailment. These are guides to prevent wastage and can be altered according to need & recommend using the least amount to give the required effect. Unfortunately it isn't an exact science and there does seem to be variations from person to person.

• New Users Start with 5-10 ml in the first 24 hours to ensure no silver intolerance. Then increase to 30 ml daily for 5-7 days to boost silver levels & then decrease as required.
  
• Orally - Hold the Colloidal Silver in your mouth for at least 30 seconds, swishing under the tongue before swallowing. This greatly helps the ionic silver uptake.
• Pregnancy - There are no known risks associated with pregnancy and many of our clients have taken Colloidal Silver with no ill effects but we cannot be totally sure. Once a child is born, you can perform a patch test to test for silver intollerance but you can't whilst in the womb. Although we feel the benefits outweigh the risk, the choice has to be up to Mum.
  
• Infants & Children up to 10 Years - Use 1/3 - 1/2 of the adult dose. Always patch test a drop on their skin to ensure no allergic reaction. Older children just judge by bodymass. It's the concentration in the bloodstream that is important, not the age of the child. For instance my son is only 15 and is a child but he is taller than I am so he gets an adult dose. My Neice is nearly eleven but she is very slight and I would give her 1/2 the adult dose.
  
• Chronic Users - If you are chronically ill, be extremely careful. The rapid elimination of pathogens may initially make you worse which could be dangerous. See Herxheimer effect on web site or info sheet.
  
• Higher doses (>30 ml) - Watch for mild skin rashes/irritations which should clear up quickly & an indication the amount used should be slightly reduced. The body rapidly eliminates excess silver which is useful for urinary tract infections, so a higher initial does may be beneficial for these types of infections.
  
• Topical Use - Rashes, burns, gashes, wounds, thrush, bites & stings etc. Use the spray applicator on affected area 2 - 3 times daily or use a compress & wet the entire area affected. Several clients have reported good results for various eye conditions but you must be careful and test using a single drop first.
  

Always use the dosage information that is supplied with the product as the above information is not part of a regular review cycle.
