James, So sad about your friend. I've noticed several phenomena when telling people about CS. Some trust nobody but the doctor even though he's not helping them. Some don't like anybody telling them anything--they're not skeptics, they're know-it-alls. And some are afraid you're warming up to a sales pitch. Few believe they can make something for 20 cents a quart that can keep them well. People sure are strange. It's risky to look gullible and seek truth, but it's definitely worth the risk.

I related an experience a while back about how colloidal silver healed a 10 month old baby of pneumonia. Since then, I have seen the same results with other cases of pneumonia. I had a friend who's son my wife and I watched on a daily basis for over 12 years. His wife is an RN and worked for Cigna all the time that we were watching their son. We told them time and time again about colloidal silver, but they refused to take a serious look at it. A month ago, the husband came down with pneumonia and we did everything but tie him up to try and make him take some colloidal silver. His wife refused to ask the doctors she worked with about it, and wanted nothing to do with the "snake oil". Well, he got so bad after a week that he was admitted to the hospital, and he never made it out. The funeral was nice I heard, and now upon reflection, I'm sorry I was so angry at him and his wife for not trying colloidal silver, that I didn't go. I know that if he had tried colloidal silver, he would have never have had to go to the hospital, but like so many others, he refused to try colloidal silver because there were no "real medical studies" to support it. Since then, I have a very bad attitude with people that refuse to try something that has the potential to heal, because they "need more proof". If they refuse to try something that could help, won't hurt, can cure and has cured, then let them live in pain and sorrow, and possibly die from their ignorance. I know, pretty strong words, but I've been there, seen it, done it. We know it won't hurt, doesn't have side effects and CAN and HAS healed. He still doesn't want to try it? Well, people have been living in pain, and dieing, because stupid choices for a long time, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Sorry for sounding so jaded fellow and fellowette listers, but coming to terms with all of this is not an easy thing for me. I guess I'm still in the anger stage.
