Hi,
Well, the NY Board of Health checked my Colloidal Silver last Friday. The
doctor said to my nephew, "do you know that this can turn a person blue"
(expected typical response). When they ruled out that CS could be the reason
for the symptoms that the baby had, they went ahead with the intravenous
immune globulin treatment and he responded favorably right away. For anyone
who is not familiar with Kawasaki Disease, the treatment must be given within
ten days or there is a risk of heart disease - untreated patients develop
weak coronary arteries. A caution to parents with small children - an
association between exposure to rug shampooing and Kawasaki disease has not
been confirmed in recent studies. Kawasaki disease is now the leading cause
of acquired heart disease in children in the United States. Rheumatic fever
used to be the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. There is
no specific lab test that definitively diagnoses Kawasaki disease. The
diagnosis is established by meeting certain criteria.
Because of my experience with this whole affair and the fact that this
disease seems to be rampant, I would recommend taking precaution when giving
colloidal silver to children under the age of two. I believe that it may
have masked some of the symptoms that the doctors were looking for before
they treated him for the disease. His eyes were clear and there were no
enlarged lymph nodes (which I attribute to the CS taken orally and in ears)
so they thought he had something else and delayed treatment for a few days.
As a matter of fact, the doctor saw him on a Friday and diagnosed an ear
infection and when he went to the emergency room on Monday (last week), the
ear infection was gone. There was a three month old baby in the crib next to
my nephew who was not so lucky - they waited 14 days before treating and he
has heart damage already. We will never know how much the colloidal silver
would have helped if continued.
Thanks to all who offered kind words and support - I really appreciate it.
Dotsie
