If I've been close to someone who has a gastrointestinal disease, I start dosing myself heavily so I won't come down with it. If I have an ounce or more of colloidal silver a few times a day, I get a bit of a tummy upset or pain. Then I wonder if I've caught the disease or if it's from the CS. The mind can make me so afraid that I feel mild symptoms, but I never actually catch that kind of disease.
However, I caught a throat and lung thing from my baby granddaughter recently (she's had so many illnesses which she picked up at day care... she was never sick a day until two days after she started day care at six months.) Her parents both got it, too. I held it off from getting full blown for a couple weeks by drinking (swishing the CS/Gatorade mix as long as I could, then swallowing) and nebulizing CS. I had laryngitis and a little throat discomfort, but didn't really feel too bad. Finally, I started coughing a lot at night. The doc said it had been a virus, but was now a bacterial infection in the lungs and one ear. She said it was going around a lot. The amoxicillin knocked it out in two days. Pat
