Interferon with Colloidal Silver?

Has anyone used Colloidal Silver during Interferon treatment?
I have heard of people not able to do the Interferon / Ribavirin had used Colloidal Silver
as an alternitive.
Well I have Hep C. Geno Type 1. And I have been making quality Colloidal Silver for many years.
I know all the tricks and processes to produce the smallest partical size possible. Which is
absorbed by the body much easier.
Well I have been on Pegisis (Interferon) getting close to 6 months now.
My first V-count was 790,000.
One month of treatment it dropped to 190,000.
And then to 4000, and then to 700, and now I am at 42 and looks as if I may clear this.
A couple months I had 2 8oz glasses a day of 15ppm Colloidal Silver a day.
I have on a minimum 3 glasses of Silver a week. My color is good, not Gray.
I just wondered has anyone ventured off into Medical Sience and expiermented like this?
I am not recommending anyone try this. I think it has helped me, I dont know.
Properly made Colloidal Silver in your home is the best, you control the quality...

Are you saying that you are still testing positive for the virus at the 6 month mark?

I've been reading the boards for years and have never heard of anyone doing colloidal silver and tx at the same time. I'm not sure I understand what benefit you'd hope to achieve from this and I'd be concerned it would interfere with the interferon and ribavirin. I can't imagine any studies have been done as to how they would work together. Your virus is clearing slowly, so it does not seem to be helping you. Does your doctor know you are doing this?

Don't recommend it as an alternative therapy for hepc or an adjunct to the current standard of care but if you're happy with it doesn't matter does it.

It wasn't clear.  Are you also taking ribavirin?  If not, why not?

I am confused how long have you been on treatment?  I have never heard of anyone doing colloidal silver (which is pretty much not proven to do anything to kill the virus) and interferon at the same time and agree that it could screw up the chances of the interferon working (which is proven medically and scientifically to cure hepC).

You should have been undetectible by week 12 - what week are you on now? At the outside doctors stop treatment if you are not und by week 24 but every week past week 12 means worse chances of success in the long run and most people who do get to UND after week 12 but BEFORE 24 extend their treatment to 72 weeks.

Are you on riba as well you need to do both drugs to have any chance at all.

Interferon / Ribavirin have been know to cause emotional distress, maybe that is what has happened to you.  I suggest giving up the Colloidal Silver and getting on some AD's at least until you can think straight again.

I personally, feel that colloidal silver is a waste of time and money, but that's my own personal opinion.  I've also heard of it turning people's skin blue.  I'm like, no thanks, I'll keep my pale, pasty colored skin over being a blue woman anyday!  Susan400

I was wrong. The 42 was the platlet count.
I did clear it, it was undetectable.

Silver is the ultimate in kilinng 1 celled pathogens, Baterial and Viral.
Silver Nitrate is used in curing over 650 diseases.
No known pathogen, HIV, or any others have survived after being
introduced to silver. Poeple used to out a lump of silver in their milk containers
to keep it from spoiling so quickly. Why the idea of Silverware?
Your fears are of the unknown. When I used the Silver my platlets stabilized and my White blood count increased. I have bee using it for over 5 years and I'm never sick.
It is absorbed itto your bloodstream goes through your liver and kills pathogens in your body and passes through your system within 4 hours.

Your wrong is not dangerous at all.
There is no reported overdoses, and there are no side effects at all.
You dont eat it.
You put 2 pieces of pure .9999 silver wire into a container of Distilled water.
You hook electrical leads to each wire. 29 vts DC is perfect.
You will begin to see what looks like smoke coming from 1 wire.
Thes are ionized particals of silver. Partical size is very important.
The smaller the size the easier for the body to absorb.
I use a mag stirrer to keep the particals moving so they dont cling to each other.
And keeps the size very small. Also heating the distilled water first helps speed the
ionization process. I use it in my foot spa. It kills fungus to.
But it is also used to treat cancer. But gentel enough to put in a babies eyes.
Do some research...

As I noted on the other thread due to your extremely slow response rate to the interferon and ribavin you should consider extending treatment to 72 weeks to have any chance at all of succeeding and remaining undetectible - the odds of clearing at week 24 and staying that way are extremely extremely low.

The colloidal silver did not do anything for your clearing the virus except perhaps to make it a much slower process, you should really consider the extention to have any chance at all.

I monitor all my lab results online.
Every liver scan and all others.
I did not use any Silver at all the first 2 months.
My Doc told me it wasnt clearing as quickly as she had hoped.
I used Silver, 2 eight ounce glasses of 15 ppm a day for 1 week.
The next scan showed a tremendous drop in viral count and my platlets stabilized
and my white blood count to.
I did not say it cures Hep C. But there are testimonies that it helps keep the
viral count low.
I'm saying Interferon / Ribavirin are powerfull drugs.
Silver is a natural microbal, And could it be possible that the 2 used together
could be benificial. Colloidal Silver does no harm to any human cells, or interfear
with any other medications being taken.
If nothing more, I think there should be more research in this area.
I have heavily researched the benifits of Silver for over 7 years.
The Good 99% / Bad 1%.

I have cleared it at 21 weeks. I have 3 more injections and then test again.
Then she will decide to exstend it or not.

I have wents months without any silver nitrate and then
started it at heavy doses. The V-count was substanial and other vitals stabilized.

How did you form this opion on Silver Colloids.
There in Stores now to. FDA approved.

No doctor would ever approve using this with treatment.
there is not enough research in that area.
Colloidal Silver is harmless to the human body.
It only kills baterias and viral pathogens.

Its clean distilled water with ionized silver particals in it.
Particals about 1/4 the size of an atom.

What documentation or reports have you seen to back up your opioin
about how dangerous it is. All reports I have seen are by Drug Companies.

I'm sorry I dont agree with you at all, please send me a link or report on
the dangers of Colloidal silver. Its been used in the medical field for over a 100 years.
Its in all burn creams. They even are putting it in air filtration systems and also
using it in water filtration plants to replace the old chlorine methods.

How does it discern which are the good bacteria and which are the harmful ones?

The only good bateria I know of are called pro-botics.
Which are in your digestive tract.
Also the baterias in yogurts I here are good, more pro-botics?
It just so happens Silver has no effect on those baterias in your
digestive tract as Anti-Biotics do.

What GOOD bacteria would you be concerned about?
I dont know of any I want to have on my hands or breath.
