Swine Flu

[walksalone]

Considering the fact that no disease causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver, a solution of as little 5 ppm would be just as beneficial as one of 20 ppm. I think 10 ppm is most widely used.

Personally, and as a dietary supplement, I do just 5 ppm - 3 teaspoons a day.

During the Flu season/winter months I increase to to 10 ppm, the same amount a day.

I have a bottle of 20 ppm I use as an antiseptic.

The lower ppm work fine for us ..... and it keeps the "blues" away.

The swine flu is spreading awfully fast. A terrorist attack with bio-weapons maybe?

It isn't just the fact of outbreak and spread that's the concern. Flu strains sometimes mutate as well (remember the concern about how Bird Flu could mutate into a form that killed human beings ?).

We're hearing that outbreaks that have occurred outside of Mexico have not (as yet) led to people suffering from severe symptoms. But our health authority says that even if this remains true for current cases, a mutation of the strain could make it more deadly in weeks to come.

If you get early symptoms, then Tamiflu is apparently a good antibiotic against it .. but anyone delaying getting their treatment will find that tamiflu decreases in effectiveness the longer you wait.

I read this too (on a different site).

I wonder why the people in Mexico are dieing form it and no one else.

Better treatment maybe ?

I also read that some people get it get over it and don’t even realize they had it.

I don't think it is a bio-weapon attack but it does go to show how unsnitary and 3rd world country-ish Mexico is. That border should have been shut down a while ago.

I haven't had flu in years, and I don't take flu shots.

[drfundy]

I also don't think it is a terror attack, although the thought did cross my mind given the animal which spawned all of this.

I suspect it is traveling at a normal speed for what it is.

Looks like everyone is starting to issue travel advisories against one another.

eu: don't travel to usa and mexico...
*us calls eu travel warning unwarranted...
state dept to issue travel warning to mexico...

at this point, who knows what the plan is. Garlic is good for everything and so is colloidal silver. Some believe that the silver utensils used by the rich protected them to a greater degree than the peasant classes who bore the brunt of the results of the bubonic plagues. I'd sooner dose my self with these things than trust this government.

Wow, this is interesting, I handle a lot sterling silver jewelry because I buy and sell vintage jewelry. I wonder, would it be effective to just get some sterling utensils and use those instead of taking something like coloidal silver internally? I get a little worried about ingesting that stuff.

Also, I haven't read anything on it yet, but does anyone know off hand what the symptoms are of this flu? What is it that is killing people? Where they very young or older or already sick with something?

I thought about buying that stuff but i heard something bad about it - it's slipping my mind at the moment but you folks think it is safe?

Here is some information I found making the case against using Colloidal silver.

I'm not recommending anyone stop using it, but it's enough to keep me away from it.

My girlfriend just called me to say she stayed home from work with nausea and the chills.

If it turns out to be the pig flu, I'll let you all know. I think she would be the first verified case in Chicago.
