  • I have said it... and will say it again, it is my belief (I of course could be wrong) that all the cures for all diseases even the unknown ones are already in the world (in nature) made by G-d and available if we ONLY found the humility to use the wisdom and knowledge we have acquired even from ancient times and go get it. Although of course the best medicine is prevention by living a healthy lifestyle.

  • Sometimes the old ways are the right ways, instead of throwing everything in the shit can and moving "forward"....

  • I've been using colloidal silver for twenty years or so, and absolutely swear by it. The government and AMA swear it doesn't do anything, but that's just because there's not a lot of money to made from it, when people can make it themselves.

    • Flashingscotsman:

      "The government and AMA swear it doesn’t do anything...

      You have to know how to read those kinds of statements. A usual one is "there have been no studies that prove that it's effective .."

      Okayyyy ... that may be true in a strict semantic sense. But, is that because the studies have not been able to prove a remedy is effective, or is that because no studies have ever been done?

      Because if it is the former, I have to believe that they would have said "studies have proven that (remedy) is NOT effective" - an affirmative statement, rather than the latter, ambiguous statement.

      • I've been using it and helping others out with it for years. It kills all bacteria, virus, and fungus on contact. Sometimes, getting it to the source of the infection can be the problem. Take herpes, for example. Herpes resides, from what I understand, in the spinal column. Drinking silver doesn't deliver it into the spinal column. But when the virus comes out into the bloodstream to make an attack, if you have silver in your bloodstream waiting for it, by drinking some every day, boom. Dead.

        Anyone who's had kittens knows about the infected eyes when they're really young. One drop of silver in each eye, it's gone the next day. Put it in a spray bottle, mist it onto a burn, or any large area wound that has a good chance of infection. You can also spray it on plants that are having fungus problems.

        My lady actually caught valley fever one summer here in Bakersfield, (the only summer we ever spent here). The doctors fed her huge quantities of expensive antibiotics, said it would take a year or more to go away. I had her put colloidal silver in the humidifier of her C-Pap machine, to get it to her lungs, where the disease resides. Cleared it up in less than a week.

        To make it, you need a glass jar, some distilled water, some silver, (.999 is good, .9999 is better, but only marginally), and a way to put some DC voltage across two silver electrodes suspended in the water. I used to use three 9-volt batteries in series, for 27 volts. Now I use 24 AA batteries in series for 36 volts, since I have huge quantities of rechargeable AA batteries for photographic uses.

        After a few hours with the electrodes dipped into the water and the 36 volts DC going across them, you'll see the cloud of silver particles coming off the + side, and a black "beard" growing on the - side. When the water is sufficiently cloudy, I carefully pull the silver out, and if any residue has been left on the surface of the water, I strain the entire gallon jug through a coffee filter.

        I drink an ounce or two every day as a preventative, more when I feel like I need it. Don't drink a LOT at once, though. Silver is non-discriminatory. It kills GOOD bacteria as well as bad, and if you kill your intestinal bacteria, be prepared for a terrible bout of diarrhea. Yogurt is good for keeping your beneficial bacteria in good shape.

        For some reason, there's a lot of stigma attached to the use of silver. I think it's been promoted by the government and the medical profession. I had a friend many years ago that was dying of aids. I told him he had nothing to lose, try it. Three or four ounces a day. The doctors weren't fixing anything. He preferred the death that had been prescribed to him by the doctors. I don't understand that. But it was his choice.

        Any other questions or discussion, I'd be glad to help out.

        By the way, when I make it, I make approximately 50 PPM, a gallon at a time. If you bought it at the local health food store, 5 PPM, four ounces would cost you at least $25. Do the math. I make my concoction for under a dollar a gallon, with a "machine" that costs less than ten dollars to put together. I quite often give away a gallon at a time, that would cost thousands of dollars at the health food store.

        • do you sell? can you do a video?

          where do you get silver?

          it can be put in eyes as drops?

          can it be injected? like into the back like you said?

          less than an ounce is good? can it be mixed with water or diluted if going for the drink?

          can it be put in a bath and how much would you say?

          • There are two different types of silver; the stuff created by electrolysis is silver ions, and is dangerous. It accumulates in the body. The best kind is essentially a silver dust.

            I don't use either; instead, I find actual silverware at yard sales and use that. I used to get sick all the time eating off stainless steel, but apparently I get enough just from using silver silverware to keep me healthy. Maybe it's just the placebo effect, but it works, so I'm good with it.

          • Perl, I've been drinking an ounce or two a day for about twenty years, with no ill effects. It does NOT accumulate. If it did, I would have died long ago. Where are you getting your information? My lady is an RN, but her education goes well beyond that, with a degree in molecular biology. I'm sure that if there going to be a problem, she'd let me know about it. She uses it herself daily. As I said, there's a lot of disinformation going around about it, including turning you blue. I assure you, I'm not even a little bit blue.

            Kimmy, I don't sell. I'd be in jail in a heartbeat if I did. I do often give it away to people I know that might benefit from it. I also give away kits to make you own, just add your own silver. Silver is available in lots of places, just do a search for .999 silver, in either wire or sheets, and find your best price per ounce.

            Yes, it can be used in the eyes if there's an infection there. I've never diluted it, it's already a maximum of 50 parts per million when I make a strong batch. I just drink an ounce or two of that solution daily. You can taste the metallic nature of the solution, but it's not bad. As for injecting it, I've never done anything like that. If you want it inside your body, you drink it, or in the lungs, put it in an inhaler or humidifier.

          • This thread brought this line of dialog to mind:

            Mother: Well, Brian, your father isn't Mr. Cohen.
            Brian: I never thought he was!
            Mother: Now none of your cheek! He was a Roman, Brian. He was a centurion in the Roman army.
            Brian: You mean...you were raped?!
            Mother: Well...at first, yes.
            Brian: Who was it?
            Mother: Huh...Naughtius Maximus his name was. Hmm...promised me the known world, he did. I was to be taken to Rome,
            house by the Forums, slaves, asses' milk, as much gold as I could eat.

          • Wait, what? But how can you be our Papa Smurf if you're "not even a little bit blue."?

          • I'm sure that can be fixed with some skillful manipulation in Photoshop. Sadly, I have no Photoshop skills.

          • No, and I'm not this guy either. He was trotted out in an effort to stop people from using silver, one of nature's best antibiotics. Fact is, he made a paste of silver oxides and various salts, rubbed it on his skin, and burned it in with a tanning bed.

    • Okay for the terminally stupid like me, what does it do? I have heard of it but never met or talked to anyone that uses it....

      • I put on if I have a cut, I put a bit when I drain my sinuses, you can breathe it in (vapor) for the lungs, some people drink it... I don't. I put it in my ears instead of hydrogen peroxide to cleanse and kill anything in there. I gargle with it. The thing is to be careful and conservative with the amounts. It is not a thing to go crazy with. With something else like rose water it can be a great toner for the skin. I think you can purify water with it if you are in the wild, instead of clorox which is another alternative.

        Read about it.

        • I am with you on this miss Kimmy. I use black salve for any skin cancer I have....and have had a few bouts with it. It is now outlawed in America as well as Europe, as the doctors do NOT want people using it....because IT WORKS!!!

          Big pharma can not make any money if people don't rely on them, although most everything they make or do is based on organic materials. Don't get me wrong...I have no problem using "modern" medicine, but there are things out there that have been around for centenaries that do just as well, or better, and are natural.

          • You use drawing salve on skin cancers? I have several spots on the watch list ( face, scalp and top of arms ) from years of cycling, fishing and doing stuff outdoors without sunblock. Are you saying you put this stuff on the areas and it will get rid of them? Is there a specific brand and content to look for? Please give me more info on this!

          • And it worked on splinters! (we called it drawing salve, but the smell...woo! Hey, I'm a hammer swinger)

            [edit] same reason I hoard tiny bottles of mercurochrome whenever I find them for all the little pita nicks and cuts I get on my hands. Stuff works.

          • You do know you're smearing mercury on yourself, right? Hopefully you don't lick your wounds later like a dog.

          • Damn, you really think that might be what my problem is? I always wondered how it knew where the cut was after you drank it.

          • Isn't that where the expression "mad as a hatter" came from? Just a sec, let me Google that... Yep, in the 18th and 19th centuries mercury was used in the production of felt, which the hatters used every day to make hats, and the exposure to mercury gradually gave them dementia. Wikipedia doesn't say it, but I think the problem was exacerbated by the fact that hat makers tended to lick their fingers when they worked with felt.

          • I am sorry about that. About your bout with cancer and you being unable to find more of it.

            Natural things have always been better overall. Even if you still have to be careful with it, however of course modern medicine has its place.

            Tea Tree Oil is another good one but have to be careful with it.

  • I'm sure it does. Especially since no one has used this method to fight a virus or bacteria for 1000 years.

    The thing to remember about this business is that every living thing adjusts to efforts to stop it from doing what it wants to do. This applies to bacteria, criminals, or humans wanting to be independent businessmen in the USSR, and they will adjust regardless of methods employed.

    Whether you use synthetic or natural methods, bacteria and viruses will adapt and develop resistance. Actually no single bacteria or virus does anything - but the ones with resistance will be the ones surviving and replicating. It will not matter whether you are using an antibiotic developed in a lab, or mixing garlic and herbs. It's the laws of nature. We simply have to accept that fighting these little critters, like fighting libs, is forever.

    • I'm not sure that's true. Some naturally occurring compounds seem to be hard or even impossible for microbes to adapt to and become resistant to. Look at hydrogen peroxide, for example. The stuff has been around for two centuries and no bug has managed to adapt and become resistant. Hydrogen peroxide is still, in 2015, one of the FDA-approved methods for sterilizing medical equipment. Although it doesn't work against all microbes, it's not because they adapted to it but rather because it never did work against them in the first place.

      Another good example of a treatment that has been around for centuries and still works is maggots. They eat the dead stuff and leave the healthy tissue and while they're doing it, just to be even more helpful, they secrete anti-bacterial substances which will kill even antibiotic-resistant bacteria the doctors can't seem to affect. And it's been that way forever, with the bacteria never seeming to adapt. Sometimes maggots are the only way to heal a persistently infected wound.

      As an aside, my 96-year-old mother was a nurse and she says the only part of nursing that ever made her squeamish was working with maggots. It's not an easy process apparently. The little worms tend to slither around and escape from under the bandage, whereupon the nurse is called by the frantic grossed-out patient and expected to wrangle the wayward maggots back into the corral. Yuck. Pus-eating, dead-flesh-gorging maggots. No wonder I'm not a nurse.

      • ROFL Oh come on JP what's a maggot or two between friends? They've also gone back to using leeches to get blood flowing through re-attached fingers, toes, legs, etc. I would have to have a shitload of drugs to be able to deal with watching a big ole leech getting fat on my blood. They pull them off when they get big and fat because they have to keep eating to benefit the patient. I don't think I could handle it without some excellent medication!

      • I admit I did a bit of a broadshoot.

        Yes there are certain things that will effectively kill little critters. H2O2 is one, alcohol is another. While the latter can be considered "natural", to the best of my knowledge, H2O2 is a manufactured chemical (at least it's manufactured to meed the demand). So I would consider it not so much a "natural organic sustainable farm-to-table" old grandma's remedy as an early version of a Big Pharma product, when Big Pharma may not have been so big.

        As for maggots, different category. I'm not holding my breath waiting for gnus to adapt to lions, either (actually, in effect, they did, by multiplying in huge numbers).

        But obviously, some diseases have been nearly eliminated. But my guess would be it was not so much due to the absolute effect of any particular remedy as by a big, swift strike against it, such as polio and smallpox. And every now and then we still hear of the possibility of those maybe returning in a resistant state (yes I know that the one disease we will probably never get rid of is alarmism, so it's entirely possible that some people will scream "the sky is falling" no matter how flimsy the evidence).

        But I still think that for the most part, all the old-time grandma remedies are of limited efficacy that will produce spotty anecdotal succeses at best, especially in the viral world. That is not to say that the pharma remedies are necessarily better - I hear the side effect blurbs on the commercials. They are scarier than anything you can watch on SciFi channel.

        I have many friends who never fail to share horror stories of the effects of power lines, or food additives, or GMO's etc, etc etc. Yet all I see is life expectancy getting longer wherever all these modern horrors go. Sure there are side effects. Everything has some effect on something. But somehow, I'm sure we can find a happy medium. I've read that in South America, it's routine for doctors to treat cancer patients with conventional medical treatments, and then supplement that with guanabana leaf extracts.

        As for maggots ...

        GROSS-OUT WARNING. IF YOU ARE EXTREMELY SQUEAMISH, STOP READING.

        I don't know how old you are. I'm 61. I remember the days when things in the food industry were not as antiseptic as now. It was not uncommon to pop open a box of pasta, or even a can of something, and find critters inside - the visible kind.

        So when I was 10, my mother made a soup of chicken broth and pastina (a tiny, cous-cous sized, or smaller, pasta). Well, I didn't know exactly what she made, so it looked like rice to me. But an odd sort of rice - sort of as long as a long-grain, but somewhat conical in shape, with a couple of tiny black dots on the fat end. Whatevs. Tasted not quite like rice, but okay, more savory than rice.

        Then my brother (2 yrs older) says "hey, these things have eyes". My mother did not look in the box, just dumped half of it into the broth. She checked the box and saw all the maggots squiggling around.

        My first thought is "okay, this is when I'm supposed to get really grossed out and sick and throw up". My next thought was "but why, they were cooked, boiled, so there is no possibility of bacteria or anything".

        So while my mother is running around the table taking away everyone's plate (at least half-finished), I tell her "that's okay, I'll finish it" - because I came to the conclusion that it's just protein, and they tasted pretty good. And if that is not odd enough, she let me!

        • You're right about those side effects. When I see them advertising a high blood pressure med and they warn about "anal leakage" which I'm not exactly sure what it is but I can guess, I can't help thinking, "Hey, I'd much rather have the high blood pressure."

          Maybe I shouldn't call hydrogen peroxide natural but it seems to me after a certain amount of time of being almost magical with hardly any bad side effects, you acquire the mantle of being "natural" even if they have to make you in a factory. After all, it's basically water with an extra atom attached, and what's more natural than water?

          And look where you can find a list of uses for hydrogen peroxide -- at a website called Natural Living Ideas: http://www.naturallivingideas.com/hydrogen-peroxide-uses/.

          • Well, about the H2O and H2O2 comparison ... not exactly.

            Ozone is O3. The oxygen we breathe is O2. Just another pure oxygen atom attached to a normal oxygen molecule. And if you breathe too much ozone, you'll die. I wouldn't suggest glugs of hydrogen peroxide after your morning jog, despite the chemical similarities.

            It's not that I'm firmly in the chemical camp and totally against natural stuff. I actually eat apricot kernels and take echinacea during the winter for an immunity boost. On this subject, I take a Buddhist approach - everything in moderation. I don't side with the chemical alarmists, nor do I dismiss the natural approach.

            I share your thoughts about the side effects - I recall a commercial for that stuff that's supposed to prevent absorption of fats in the intestinal tract, purportedly to keep you from gaining the weight. One of the side effects was "an oily discharge". Considering we're talking about the intestines, we can guess where that discharge will come from. And I had the exact same thought - how bad does your condition have to be for you to consider oil seeping out of your ass an acceptable alternative?

        • Even more fascinating, all the maggots come from the same guy. I think he's in California and that's his business, raising maggots for hospitals. He has a little production warehouse full of flies -- they featured him on 60 Minutes or some other news show.

          • uhm... interesting indeed... something that signifies death and decay... is a life saver...

      • This thread is starting to bring back some very sober memories. My first job - where I had to punch a time clock - was in 1970 at the Allen County nursing home in Ft Wayne, IN. I was 20 years old and a job as a nurses aid was the only summer job I could find. I won't add to the gross descriptions here. I went back the second day and lasted until September - but when they come to take me away... they will never take me alive.

  • I find I usually always have either gall or bullocks, but rarely do I have a fresh stash of the combination bullocks gall when needed...
