My brother-in-law came by the other day with a massive cold. I asked him if it usually ends up in his chest. He said it always turns into bronchitis.
I had mentioned my interest in CS to him once before, and he seemed receptive, so I took the opportunity to give him a bottle. I told him *all* the negative warnings and cautions I could think of: + The only important toxic effect of silver ingestion is a *permanent* blue/grey discoloration of the skin called argyria, that can be caused by taking hundreds of times more silver than is in the CS, particularly in the form of insoluble silver compounds. + Don't expect it to cure the cold, but if it keeps it out of your chest by stopping the secondary bacterial infections, that's the kind of thing we are hoping for. + If you should happen to kill off enough bugs quickly enough with the CS you might experience a Herx, and feel worse before you feel better. So start with a small dose and increase it over a day or two. + You don't have a known allergy to silver, do you? Have problems with silver jewelry, for instance? That's another reason to start with a very small dose. I saw him Sunday, and he still had the cold, but he had been taking the CS and it hadn't gone into his chest. He seemed to be doing pretty well. We'll see what he feels about it after this episode is over. My brother is next on the list of people who want to give it a try.
