I have always been susceptible to getting colds and Bronchitis. Two years ago I came down with Staph Infection in my blood and was hospitalized for ten days. I had a pic line in my arm for two month pumping heavy duty anti-biotic into my body. Six months ago I found out I have CLL. My white count is around 21K. My guess is that I have had CLL for five or six years. Right now I have no other systems that I know of. What I wanted to mention and maybe get some feedback on is the use of Colloidal Silver. When I was healing from the Staph infection a friend turned me onto Colloidal Silver. I stop getting sick and have not had Bronchitis since. Colloidal Silver is an alternative type medicine, however I believe there is much proof that it does kill both bacteria and viruses. A lot of doctors frown on it but a few are starting to come over to our side in promoting it. What is really weird is that when I mentioned it to my Oncologist, she told me to keep taking it. I would like to know if anyone else with Leukemia is taking Colloidal Silver and what your opinions are concerning it. Colloidal Silver can be purchased at a health food store but it is really expensive, like five ounces for $20.00. If you buy a machine on line you can make your own real cheap.
