just tried my scratch test. after almost 2days soreness went away , with regular Antibiotic cream, peroxide, etc. almost 4 days later tender to touch. Now iam convinced this full moon silver works great. in fact after 1 day the soreness was gone. truly a wonderful antibiotic. dont forget I was using the hyper-pure .99999 silver on the full moon. also had stomach gas problems painful gas. what I did was take 1 shot glass full of silver and 2 charcoal pills. gone the next morning. works beautiful.
