Colloidal Silver?

[superinfected]

Does anyone have experience w/ this? Of course my Hepatologist says "NO!", but he said no to milk thistle too, so if it's not expensive pharmaceuticals, he's clueless.  I take milk thistle anyway, w/ good results.

Colloidal Silver ....  i think, but dont quote me ...  this doesnt get rid of the hep by any means, but if you take it for an extended period of time, the silver will build up in you and thus will alter your skin color... to a sorta sickly greyish color and it is irreversable...  i think thats what this stuff is... was a long time ago i heard about it and almost tried it and then heard about the side effects and said no way.

Sorry, I'm not aware of one regular member here who has anything good to report about Any permutation of collodial silver, at least, not for treating HCV.

Milk thistle is a different question.  I believe that there are many studies which challenge your  doctors opinion on that.  Your doctor is not alone in the opinion, but I think they could be operating on old information.

best,

Just send me your money and i'll wish the disease away for you.  The colloidal silver will have the same affect as me wishing it away and at least the money might do me some good!  :)

Seriously of course your heptologist says NO!!! because there is NO cure at the moment available that does not contain interferon and ribavirin.  CS is not going to do anything at all for you in this world.  Certainly not cure you or help you in any way it's just a SCAM to get money from sick people.  Scam Scam Scam.  If it did work...we all would have certainly done it instead but unfortunately it wont.

Milk thistle won't cure you but it might help bring your liver enzyme levels down. Just remember if you do start treatment stop the milk thistle - you can't take it with the meds or it will make them less effective.
