Colloidal Silver, Before and After, Part I
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010When I first heard about colloidal silver I was in college and I lived with a friend who was into Yoga, organic foods, and natural medicine. To be honest, as much as I enjoyed her, I thought she was bit kooky and I took her recommendations with a grain of salt. So when she recommended that I try colloidal silver, I brushed her off without really hearing her out. I never judged her lifestyle - in fact I found it fascinating - but I just knew that none of it was for me and that included taking something that had a name I didn’t even recognize.
Flash forward four years and, while that roommate and I lost touch after graduation, we actually ran into each other again when we began working for the same company. We were really happy to see each other and we picked up right where we left off. She still looked great and was, of course, very healthy. She admitted to having relaxed in her health routines over the years; she was, after all, a mother now and she was busy with her baby and her career. Yet she still used colloidal silver and this time I listened because it was the testimony of a woman I respected instead of a college girl that was in an experimental phase.
Colloidal silver, she said, had been a mainstay of her health regime for years and was just as effective now as it was then. I asked her questions about it for weeks; I was feeling really rundown and unhealthy myself and I was open for anything. More in the next post.
