I am new to this list and so would like to familiarize you as to my condition and use of colloidal silver. My name is Gene Downey and I live in Des Moines, Iowa. I have been disabled with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis for 3 years. I have been on 02 24/7 for this period of time. I have not been on conventional drugs for most of this time after much study and research into them. I have come to believe that their side effects and related problems are worst in my case than the help they can give. With this disease I have lung capacity and diffusion problems. We have the tendency to get infections of the sinuses and upper respiratory system. In times past I have had serious infections and started to use colloidal silver solution in a nebulizer to help me keep going till other systemic treatments like some antibiotics can be found. The thing about colloidal silver that I likes was the fact that it effects such a wide base of organisms. This seems to allow it to cover more bases that most other forms of treatments. But it has helped me in times of need with these problems. I wish to pass on something I have learned. I need 02 most of the time anyway so I have learned to get a denser atomization of the silver into my lungs. I do this by using an 02 pressure regulator set at 20 PSI on an 02 tank. This amount of pressure seems to work very well. I also extend the end of the nebulizer to the rear of the mouth. I have found that if you put a tube on the other end of the nebulizer, that one can use it to store up the cloud between breathes. Also, if you put your finger over the end on the tube and start to draw a breath first, then release the finger, you get a higher velocity to carry the cloud deeper into the lung. But I have a few questions to ask. One is, how is this silver taken up through the tissues? Is it totally absorbed into the system and circulated thought out the body? Is there any build up in the lung area from repeated use say of a couple of times a day? How is this metal eliminated from the body? By that I mean is it eliminated through the liver, kidneys, or what? What has been done in research about its effect on the body as a metal when we hear so much about detrimental effects of other metals on the body? Another area I would like to hear some information on is its effect on the bacterial content of the digestive system. How does it effect the needed bacteria of the intestines? I have tried to deliver it directly to the infected area so as to avoid this problem and to have it at its strongest concentration in the area it is needed in. I wish to thank all of you that can help me with this line of discovery before hand. I have not found this information in any of my research so far. I am also a user of herbs and the like also. One learns to use all ones weapons in a fight like this one. There is no cure for this fatal disease and really little is known. I am on a TX list for a lung and so far that is really the only help offered. And it has many pitfalls also.
