Thanks for the input. :)   I think part of  my problem was a lack of 
acidophilis and judging by the excess fatigue  I  may have killed to much

the responses I have received.  Thanks.

    You may want to try taking the silver immediately after eating. better 
chance of getting absorbed before getting to the lower intestine.
