Thank you for your post. It is interesting. Can you tell me what kind of generator you use to make your collodial silver, that is, if you make it instead of buy it...and what kind of vitamin C do you take. I've been thinking of buying a generator from elixia.com but wanted a little more information first. Thanks again for your post. I'm going to write the information down so I have it in case I or someone else may want to try it if shingles came our way.
