Hi Filip:

Have you recently, or a history of, pulmonary difficulties?  Lung problems, 
such as a recurring lung infection?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with your initial reaction, wasn't the response 
quite a bit faster, with less colloidal silver used to induce your upset 
stomach?

If so, this matches a herxheimer-like effect.

If I were in a similiar situation, and wished to approach it with due caution ( 
being in the unknown ), then I would elect to design a personal research 
experiment, and back off of taking the colloidal silver until the symptoms 
subside, and then begin again, charting my body's own responses; that is, as 
long as I wasn't attempting to address a serious illness.  I would make note of 
the duration of symptoms, how long they took to manifest, how much CS was used, 
and then how long it took for the symptoms to subside after cessation.

Best Regards,

Jason

  Dear CS-community,

  Sorry if my post()s is/are elaborate, but I really want to find a solution to 
my
  problem and I try to give as much as context as possible.

  As I stated some time ago, I became sick for about 1,5 week (having a 
  need-to-throw-up feeling) after taking 3 coffee-spoons of self-made CS.
  See: RE: CS>Stomach-problems when using CS? in the archives.

  As I feared I had poisoned myself, I had a stomach check (with a camera 
  through the mouth into the stomach), a blood and urine check after 1 week 
  of being sick, everything was ok according to the doctors. Only a minor
  "irritation/infection" in my stomach, but that was very normal and could be
  viral. Half a week later everything was back to normal.

  Two weeks later, I wanted to give "making CS by myself" another try. This
  time I used 2 silver electrodes that I ordered from a jeweler that made it
  from 99,9% silver grains that he uses for making jewelery. I expressed my
  reason for needing to be sure it is 99,9% pure.

  After using it for about 4 days now, just spraying it in my nose (2 times
  a day, 3 sprays in each nostril), I'm feeling ill in my stomach again and
  again waking up in the middle of the night with a need-to-throw-up feeling.

  As I don't think it's the silver (as I got the same result from 2 different 
suppliers)
  I could only think:
  * it is the "destilled" water that I use, although it comes from a pharmacy 
store.
  * I'm allergic to "silver", although I don't have any problems with wearing 
my silver
    ring.
  * I have some kind of infection that I don't even know about or my nasal 
problem
      is connected with my stomach as someone mentioned to me.
  * it's a normal reaction (e.g.: Herxheimer reaction): the feeling I 
experience is
      need-to-throw-up (without having thrown up), waking up in the middle of 
      the night with that feeling and a strange, weak, almost tinteling 
sensation 
      in my arms.

  I've read alot about CS at alot of different websites, but I cannot find 
anything 
  about this kind of reaction.

  I truly believe that CS works, but why doesn't it do the wonderful thing to 
me?

  PS: As i currently use 24V DC adaptor on 2 (125mm long, 2mm thick) 99,9%
  silver electrodes for 15 minutes in 500 ml of boiled distilled water, I have 
no way
  of knowing how much ppm I produced. I only know it was both times clear not
  yellow.
  The + electrode (red on the multimeter) became dirty gray and the - electrode 
  (black on the multimeter) became yellow. I think I read somewhere that it 
should
  be vica versa.

  Kind regards,
  Filip
