This morning I woke up with a dry, scratchy throat. I thought maybe it was just dry because of sleeping with the heat on (it's cold in Chicago right now), but after taking a shower and drinking some water, it didn't go away.

I had just heard about C.S. this week, actually, so I decided to try some. I'm actually kind of worried about getting sick right now because I have big plans this weekend and a hugely important WEEK at work next week that I cannot miss :(

So, I went to the health food store and bought some Sovereign Silver brand Colloidal Silver (the only kind they had). It's 10ppm. It came with some propaganda about why their brand is more pure than every other brand, and says it "outperforms other brands up to 500ppm or more." Ok, probably just marketing hype but whatever.

On the side, it says one dose is "6 droppers." It says the recommended use is "6 droppers or more daily," and then there's a dosing sheet that came with it that says you can dose every 15-30 minutes "while acute," and then reduce to once every 1-2 hours. Then on the side of the box it says a safe dose is up to 7 tsps (7 doses) per day. So does that mean you can never exceed 7 doses, even if you're doing the every 15 minutes thing?

Alright, so anyway, I started taking 1 dose every 20 minutes once I got back from the store (around noon). I figured the sore throat/cold has been active in me for 8 hours or so by this time, since I was fine last night but my throat was scratchy when I woke up this morning. I've done 5 doses like this so far, since apparently 6 is the max per day, and I'm going to do dose 6 tonight.

Dosing question: I've never taken a medicine in a dropper before, so I was taking one dropper full, spraying it under my tongue, holding it for 30 seconds, swallowing, and then repeating 5 more times (since 1 "dose" is 6 droppers full). Don't laugh at me. Then, after the 4th dose, I was like "wait, I bet you're supposed to do all 6 at once," so I did it that way. Haha. Oh, and on the 5th dose, I decided to try gargling it (since I've read this can "knock out a sore throat in minutes"). Well, it didn't knock it out.

I don't really feel any better yet, but if I can keep this sore throat/cold from taking full effect I guess I'll be happy. I always read about these miracle instant cures from homeopathy medicines online (such as the cayenne pepper sore throat gargle, which I did for 5 days while I had a sore throat last time... it definitely was NOT instant for me), but I never experience them.

At the health food store I also picked up some Boiron Phytolacca Decandra (30c), which is suppsedly for "sore throat radiating to the ears, frequent need to swallow." Since I've been drinking water CONSTANTLY to help my throat, I figured this might help. Has anyone used this before?

I'm also taking Cold-Eeze, Airborne, Ecinecca (think I spelled that wrong), and Goldenseal Root. I won't use Zycam stuff because of the lawsuits over anosmia (I'm afraid to lose my sense of smell.

Tonight I'm going to try some of that Apple Cider Vinegar stuff I've read about on other sites. Since everyone talks about how it "instantly" cures their sore throat, I'm not really expecting much :p But it's worth a try.

Sorry for the long post.

Cliffs:

-How much 10ppm Sovereign Silver can I take per day in the early stages of a sore throat?

-I hate being sick

-Any other tips to knock this out QUICKLY?

Thanks!!
