Misting is the only thing that helps me not catch a cold or flu in the
first place. No amount of oral CS does this for me. (I have some other
conditions and drink about a pint (minimum) per day most of the time.
I've had two colds in the 3 + years I've been making and using my own
CS. One was early on, before someone told me about misting the eyes/nose
(and ears if you like). The other was earlier this year when I had
gotten very lax in misting. In neither case did I ever develop the nasty
sinus or lung infections that used to get me with every cold, and I used
to catch at least 4 colds per year, and get really sick with every one.
I used lots of oral CS, extra misting, CS/DMSO eye drops and nose drops
during those two colds and I believe that is what prevented the
secondary infections, which for me, used to be far worse than the cold
itself.
I have found the advice to take and hold in the mouth a small amount
every half hour or so to be effective, too. It really does work better
for me, than chugging a glassful at once, except as Dan noted, in the
case of the GI upsets. Then a good glassful works really well.

BTW, my husband has had a really vicious cold for at least 10 days now,
and I haven't caught it! Yay! (that I don't have it, not that he does,
LOL!)

The best way I have found to treat a cold is to prevent it using the following
method. Get a saline nasal mister from a drug store, work the mister top off
and dump out the saline solution. Rinse it a couple of times with CS, emptying
it in between times. Then fill it half-way with good CS, put the spray top
back on and use it as a nasal mister. If you feel any indication at all of a
cold coming on use the nasal mister a few times. You can also use it to spray
your eyes or get a separate spray mist bottle to use for that. Do it right
away and do it often. You will usually not come down with the cold.
(Note: use it in both your eyes and nose, reread above... ;-)
Taking CS orally is fine too, just take it as often as possible in small doses,
say one slug every half-hour or hour. A slug is anywhere from one-half to one
full ounce. If your slug is bigger than one ounce, you have a big mouth ;-))
Taking CS after the cold has developed is less effective but it should usually
reduce complications and the amount of time you have the cold.
Sometimes you will need to do other things like gargle with it for sore
throats, and possibly add H2O2 or DMSO to make it penetrate. For food
poisoning, nothing is better than a nice big glass of CS, especially if you've
just thrown up...
Taking CS more often is usually better (except for the food poisoning example).
As someone just said, our problem is getting the CS to the "bug" in question.
So, you want to have several tools in your bag of tricks.

I have been on this list for a couple of months now. Thank you all for
sharing your knowledge so generously. AND for answering my questions earlier
regarding CS generators.
Problem: Recently, I became symptomatic is a cold and sinusitis, (i.e.
runny nose, cough, miserable). I purchased a bottle of CS
Colloidal/SilverWings 500 ppm. Instructions of ½ teaspoon daily.
I took this amount in bottle water and noticed NO significant help with my
cold symptoms. Is CS supposed to be taken undiluted? Thank you. Laurie
