My doctor/friend and a good one (Homeopathic MD)....says that CS kills the 
GOOD bacterias too and to not take it on a daily basis because 
it........."kills the good bacteria in the GUT too"........
    The way it was prescribed to my by another doctor in 1965 was to hold it in 
my cheek for 10 minutes and then spit it out....She said I would absorb all I 
needed thru my gums and it would enter thru my vascular system as opposed to 
digestive.......
    Has anyone else heard anything like what I've been told?  or even blatantly 
disproves what I've been told?
           Curious...............Gina

      Hi there,
    
                        I drop in to say hello and to find out how things are
    going with you after
    going through your message. Remember, my conversation with you is purely
    domestic. You are to follow strictly the instructions given  to you by your
    attending physician and you should not alter his regime without his
    permission while you are in his care.
    
                                       My differential  resume
                                       **************************
    
                     *     The pressure symptoms  of you bladder are suggestive
    of an obstructive /inflammatory  pathology .
    
                     *      James 's assumption: < Your process is making
    something  other than,or in - addition - to  CS. >  is logical.  The immune
    complexes formed could lead to allergy !
    
    
                     *       To STOP taking Colloidal Silver interim.  Be
    mindful of any new
    sign or symptom. To inform your physician IMMEDIATELY
    
                      *      Might consider  doing  an IVP [ Intravenous
    Pyelogram ]
                              to delineate any  obstructive mechanism and the
    level of
                              obstruction [ whether in the kidney, the ureters
    or the bladder]
                              Any enlargement or contracture of the kidneys or
    dilation of the
                              ureters may be delineated.
    
                       *      Might  want ulrasounography done  for stones in
    Kidneys,Ureters
                              and Bladder.  These are the possible obstructive
    elements.
    
                       *      To take a more detailed history pertaining to the
    urogenital system
                               To ask for more specific information on the
    frequency of urination,
                               any pain during micturition, any difficulty in
    initiating micturition: the localization of pain and its  directional
    radiation of pain.
    
                        *      While waiting for the Full Urinary and
    Microscopic Examination
                                with Culture and Sensitivity report, I will take
    a very detailed history
                                of past and present medical history with
    particular emphasis on
                                alimentation and medication.
    
    
                        *     Do not forget to tell the patient  that there are
    many people out there who care.
    
    
               With regards
                   Lew
