Hello there,

I recently joined after researching colloidal silver. I had in the past come across the idea of advanced colloidal preparations of metals, and it meant something at that time.

Right now my son of one , who has severe atopic eczema, contracted herpes. Atopics are susceptible to this and it has spread violently all over his body. It hits them hard, especially due to broken skin. It is frightening believe me. It is like his whole body is raw and skin peeled. It is round his eyes too.

The hospital (on Friday) ordered a swab, in order to screen the infection. The GP belivies it is Herpes Simplex. I do. My daughter had a small cold sore. SO did a friend in the house. The hospital gave us some antibiotics while we await the test results. (perhaps we'll get them tuesday. I couldn't wait that long to treat him, although also, I comfort the mother by saying let it run its course. `We take care to make sure he is loose wrapped in breathable cloth, and not overheated.

My brother is a surgeon. I asked him about colloidal silver. At first he was worried, saying silver is poisonous. He didn't want me to experiment on my child. (he does support 'complimentary therapies'). He mentioned levels of research from A to D, and how no paper can be published unless level D . I know this means sound studies , double blind, placebo control. I urged him to confirm or disconfirm my research. He came back after a day and said , well the evidence comes mainly from lab studies, colloidal silver at least is harmless and might do some good, even as a dietary supplement. Though he complained a little about the quality of some of the sites, I know some of what he came accross impressed him.

So I have started with some colloidal silver, internal and external, using the only source I could get locally from Holland and Barraty (UK). It is 3 ppm, and protein bound. I gave him one teaspoon and upped this to two on day two. Today is day three, I also douched his body. I plan to keep up a course at this level for the next five days, but am reviewing this. Actually I would lilke to ensure asensible dose, that is more than dietary, but gives some quick assistance, because he is weak now. There are signs of healing in the oldest sores. There are difficulties with areas around the neck, which easily become wet and do not breath so well due to folds of the skin, and head position.

Obviously my son is in a an advanced acute phase of the infection. I am looking for any feedback concerning dosage and type of preparation. I have ordered a 20 ppm electrolytically prepared colloidal soloution, and hope it arrives soon. One concern is the topical application, the strength and the method. The other is the internal dose. ALso any feedback concerning similar experience is welcome.
