Thanks for posting the dosage amounts in mg. Because this isn't a standard on all of these "natural" herbs, etc., I've shied away from them somewhat. I have heard that colloidal silver is great, but I've never known what amount to take. I'm gonna bookmark this thread for future reference.

We don't know that ASAP Solution™ Colloidal Silver is the silver bullet. It is powerful enough to kill the deadly Anthrax spore. Yet, it is so safe and non-toxic that it can be used in a newborn baby's eyes moments after birth as an anti-bacterial to kill pathogens introduced during birth.

SAFE!

I have sinus problems from having them physically damaged,crushed.

Lately,I've taken St.John's Wort a few times to try to calm myself down.Each time I took it,my bad sinus' were noticeably relieved.

Don't know if SJW is even supposed to do this but it's been a nice side effect for me.

I just chew on a dried Olive leaf when I feel a cold coming on. It has worked well for the five years I have used it.

Colloidal Silver works great. I also have upper respiratory problems and am using it right now to fight off a cold.

I've found that getting rest is very important. It's hard to do, but if I don't rest I don't get well.

Also, Chamomile tea is an excellent anti-inflamatory. I always keep it around. It's great for sore throats and it will cure pink eye. Just put the (unsweetened) tea into the eye.

Of course, drinking the Chamomile tea gets it into your entire system but you can also use it topically. Just put the tea bag on the inflamed area. It will also make you a little sleepy so you rest well.

For sore throats there's a tea called "Throat Coat" which I buy at the local health food store.

I have a similar upper respiratory/ sinus/ allergy etc. history.

Have benefitted from ZICAM nasal swabs and mouth spray.

And from the cough drops with honey--Robitussin used to make them with real honey in the center. Haven't found for a long time.

The cough drops cherry flavored that have zinc in them also have been helpful--especially if use them immediately at first hint. But both the ZICAM and the zinc cough drops have lessened the severity and duration of such uglies, for me.

An Air filter in my bedroom also seemed to help.

He'd look even better with red hair

CNN.com - Candidate turned himself blue - Oct. 1, 2002.

Stan Jones,a 63-year-old business consultant and part-time college instructor, said he started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics.

He made his own concoction by electrically charging a couple of silver wires in a glass of water.

His skin began turning blue-gray a year ago.

"People ask me if it's permanent and if I'm dead," he said. "I tell them I'm practicing for Halloween."

He does not take the supplement any longer, but the skin condition, called argyria, is permanent. The condition is generally not serious.

Get a nasal saline spray, squirt up your nose morning and evening, turn your head upside down and sniff in hard to get it all through the sinuses. Stand up and blow it all out.

I used to get at least 2-3 sinus infections a year that turned into bronchitis and required antibiotics. In addition, I virtually always had a low-grade infection in my sinuses, one of which eventually poked its way through to the roots of a molar, requiring a root canal.

Since I started the saline spray program (which I actually usually only do in the mornings, unless I'm feeling something coming on), I've gotten almost entirely off antihistamines that I used to not be able to live without. Now I take just half a Unisom tablet every night (sold as a sleep aid, but actually a long-acting antihistamine), and I'm fine day and night. Haven't had even a little bitty sinus infection for three years.

Oh, and once you've got one of the nasal-spray-pump bottles, just keep refilling it with saline solution sold in large bottles for contact lenses. Costs about 5% as much that way.

And get plenty of sleep -- it does wonders for your immune system.

See my post #28 -- might be helpful for your sinuses.

[tjwmason]

If I get a cold just before bed drink lemon juice with tons of sugar (so it's drinkable), a hefty (and I mean hefty) shot of brandy, and a lot of hot water. This will put you to sleep soundly which will do the world of good for the cold. The only other thing I ever take is ibuprofen if I also have a head-ache - but then I rarely fall victim to heavy colds.

Sounds like you're getting 'freshers flu'; the gathering together of loads of people who all bring their own collections of viruses which have a lovely time multiplicating in residences. It usually dies out after a while though.

[rwfromkansas]

I do have a sinus rinsing system that helps a lot sometimes.

[yhwhsman]

The condition is generally not serious.

Silver is non-toxic. So while he looks funny, it's not life threatening. What it truly shows is there are consequences to over-using even 'safe' stuff.

[LibWhacker]

Zinc lozenges do seem to prevent or at least lessen the severity of colds. Start taking them as soon as people around you begin to come down with a cold. Don't chew the lozenge or swallow it whole. Instead, let it melt slowly in your mouth. Then don't eat or drink anything for half an hour afterward. Supposedly the zinc makes your throat and mouth an inhospitable place for viruses.
