Vinne, Please be Careful. I have a son with CF and knowing how much the CF doctors care about their patients I am wondering if your doctors know you are looking into alternative medicines. Just be safe. You know all too well that once damage is done to the lungs it cant be repaired. I will keep you in my prayers.

My husband died two years ago from CF. He was 24. He spent the last 5 months of his life in the hospital. He was doing much better until he got MRSA and became resistant to the antibiotics. Months before I had read online about how Colloidal Silver had been helping some Cystic Fibrosis patients. I always wanted him to try it, but for some reason I never got around to getting it for him. A few weeks before he died I discussed it with his doctors and asked if I could start giving it to him through the tube in his stomach. He was getting worse and I was desperate to try anything. I can't speak for everyone about how this stuff works, but I can tell you how it helped my husband. Someone told me that it took about 8 weeks for the effects of Colloidal Silver to kick in. I started giving it to my husband 10 days before he died. I noticed a huge change for the better in him. He was responding better to treatment and had even tried to get up from his bed and walk out of the room! That's compared to him being mostly unresponsive and sleeping all the time. I have heard some stories where Colloidal Silver causes other problems with long term use, but I honestly wish I had started giving it to my husband much sooner than I did. We had nothing to lose. The doctors seemed to have never heard of the stuff and after reading up on it were more than willing to let me give it to him. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it's worth a try. And I do strongly agree with discussing it with your doctor first before you try any alternative therapy. If any of you would like to contact me about anything, feel free. =)

Wink Re: alternative medicine for cf????

Hello, could you pls tell me if you are still using colloidal silver. Did you tell your doctor? Did it really help or do you think it might be masking the results of the plem samples? How much do you put in your nebulizer? Pure or diluted?

I can not talk to my sons doctor about alternative medecins. I have been using colloidal silver since xmas, 3 x 1tsp/day, on my 11 year old son. As he has been so ill for so many months I am not sure what I should be looking out for. His phlem samples are better - only staphyloccocous. But he still coughs up a lot of very dirty phlem. He was on 6 antibiotics for several years and he is now only on 2 because of the different examination results.

Sorry to disturb you. It is my first time on a forum.
