First it might not have been a cold. It may have been allergies. Second, your immune system may be way down due to the lyme, and the replication rate of the virus was higher than the kill rate of the cs in the quantity you are taking. I have gone into this in great depth before, so won't bore everyone with the details on this again. Marshall >>
Marshall: Using my silver retention/elimination study, here are some interesting estimates: As a first approximation, I'll assume that by the 96th day after stopping CS ingestion all remaining silver in my tissue was eliminated. (This is a reasonable assumption, but you would have to see the report to know why.) Numerical integration of the graph on page 7 of my report would indicate that the maximum amount of retained silver in my body which, of course, occurred on the last day I took CS before stopping, was 159 mg. At that time I weighed about 104 kg. (pure muscle, of course). So in terms of body mass, I had an average of 1.5 PPM CS. (This figure may be higher if there was still a significant amount left in my body AFTER the 96th day, but it is doubtful that I am off by more than 20%). Now, most people who take CS don't take anything near the 2.3 mg/day that I took for the prior 5 1/2 months, and, therefore, their CS concentration on body tissue could be much, much lower that the 1.5 PPM I've estimated here. So their degree of systemic protection could be proportionately less, particularly if you take into account local levels of CS depletion where an infection has already started to multiply rapidly. Since there is good evidence that I was saturated in CS, while most CS takers are not, it is quite possible that an infection could get a foothold for many despite daily CS ingestion. Incidently, I don't recall being sick during the entire period (~9 months) I did this study. Roger Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
