My 19 year old was starting with cold symptoms and simply doesn't have time to be sick between work and school. He is not home enough to easily dose with frequent vitamin C and vinegar tea, etc.
I just gave him 1 tablespoon of coconut oil morning and night. He readily takes it knowing how it helps him. The cold lost the wind in its sails quickly and I only dosed him for a few days.
I turned his morning dose into bulletproof mocha coffee but he took the evening dose off the spoon.
Here is how I make mocha bulletproof coffee for him:
- 1 cup hot coffee
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Blend in vitamix.

Colloidal Silver

More recently I have switched to using an ultrasonic humidifier for short durations several times per day inhaling directly near the output port. I chose the ultrasonic humidifier because it delivers a considerable amount of silver nanoparticles directly to the areas that are most affected by a cold in an amount that is effective and probably quite a bit more so than a nebulizer can deliver in the same amount of time. This is important because of the huge surface area of the lungs which is said to be 80~100 square meters or about the size of half a tennis court. A nebulizer will take a lot longer to deliver what the humidifier can deliver in minutes and because of that huge lung surface area, that is a very important point.

If I start at the first hint of a cold, the symptoms have gone within 24 hours or less. If I am unable to start right away, the cold is usually gone in about three days or less and symptoms are greatly reduced from what I have come to expect as my norm. Normally if I don't try to stop a cold, it drags on for weeks and often times settles into my chest in which case I have gotten a cough that lasted over a year and that has happened at least 4 times that I can remember. So as far as oral silver nanoparticles for a cold......not effective for me, but delivered via an ultrasonic humidifier......A+.
I only put a small amount of 40 ppm silver nanoparticles (about 4 ounces) in the humidifier and breathe the vapor in deeply as it comes from the output port of the humidifier for about 7 minutes three times during the day for a total of about 21 minutes per day. Usually symptoms are gone the first day, but I might continue for one day after the symptoms have gone. Throw away whatever is left in the humidifier when I am done.
In any case, it is the ultasonic humidifier that makes all the difference in the world for me when using silver nanoparticles to fight a cold. Just 4 ounces compared to quarts taken orally that had little to no impact on my cold.

Honey Lime Drink for Summer Colds
★★★★★
- 1 tablespoon of raw honey
- 1 ounce of hot water to dissolve the honey
- 3 ounces of cold water
- juice of 1 lime
- ice
Dissolve honey in hot water. Add cold water, lime juice and ice. Mix. Enjoy!
My kids loved this drink. It tastes like limeaid.
Son: Mommy, what is in this?
Mommy: Lime juice, honey, water
Son: What in this is good for a cold?
Mommy: Lime juice, honey, water
Lime has vitamin C, other nutrients and is alkalizing.
Honey is antiviral and antibacterial.
Water is hydrating.
So there you have it. A yummy drink for when you are sick or when you are not! :)

The gold color indicates that some of the ionic silver is reduced to colloidal silver and or possibly closer to 40 to 50 ppm. A higher ppm will generally be darker. When I make 320 ppm batches, they look like dark coffee after full reduction.
Similar to this color on the left:
http://www.cdn.sciencebuddies.org/Files/4691/6/colloidal-silver_img.jpg
When I dilute it to 40 ppm it turns to a light amber color similar to the second jar from the right..
A crystal clear ionic solution that looks like the distilled water that you started with would be ideal before reduction though.....similar to the jar on the far right side. After reduction, a colloidal silver color similar to crystal clear baby shampoo would indicate a nice particle size range that is likely to be very effective and in the 20 ppm area......a color and clarity similar to the middle jar.
If you cap it, the color may darken slightly and can vary depending on what you use to cap it. For me, clarity is important and should be as clear as the distilled water you start with no matter what type of silver you are making or ppm. The parts per million can be determined if you are using a "constant current" controlled generator based on the length of the run and the voltage used during the run along with the amperage. There are quite a few variables that can affect the quality and strenth of what you produce such as the depth of your cathode, the spacing between the cathode and anode, current, run time, voltage, the type of electrolyte you use, the stabilizer you use, the water temperature and whether you use stirring to name some of the variables.
As far as your shoulder infection, it seems to me that I remember reading in your posts that you have used DMSO? If so, have you ever used a combination of DMSO and iodine topically? I can't remember if you have mentioned doing this before and if so, how did it work for you? Sometimes, if it has been quite awhile since I used something effective, I forget about some things that have worked for me in the past.

Baking Soda

I had all the early signs of a cold / flu coming on yesterday - achy, runny nose, sore throat, cough. I started taking 1/2 tsp of baking soda in a glass of cold water every 2 hours last night, and cut back to every 4 hours this afternoon. It has been just over 24 hours, and I feel FINE. I can hardly believe it myself, but I KNOW I was exposed, I KNOW I was getting sick... now, I am fine. Absolutely worth trying if you are coming down with a cold or flu!

Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne
★★★★★
1-2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV w/ "The Mother")
1-2 Tablespoons of raw honey
1/4- 1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
Amount of each ingredient should equal tolerance to the strength of the tea. I don't mind spice but you can start with mild strength. ( EX: 1 tablespoon each of ACV and raw honey and 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper)
Drink as hot as you can. Repeat 2-3 times daily. This removed all the phlegm in sinuses and throat and had me feeling better in a few hours.
I felt better within 24 hours. Hope this helps!!

Garlic
★★★★★
I THINK this is the recipe, but fresh, raw, ONLY organic garlic is your cure. All ingredients must be organic and fresh as possible. Ours are picked fresh from our allotment.
Boil up a big pot for a soup, add potatoes, onions etc. The most important bit is 7 to 8 cloves of raw garlic right at the end; don't cook the garlic! Must be as raw as possible.
I had full on flu like symptoms one day, had 2 helpings of soup in a day and the next morning I felt brand new! However, a day or 2 without more soup and the cold starts to return, so I think a week of garlic soup for lunch/ dinner should do the trick.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne
Turmeric
★★★★★
Basically, my recipe is (makes enough for 1 day):
2 small or 1 large clove of smashed fresh garlic
1 rounded teaspoon of ground turmeric (organic works better, I tried),
As much cayenne as you can handle without burning yourself. You want it to really heat you up but not burn your stomach.
2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Simmer those ingredients on the stove in as much water as you would like cups of the brew. 2 or 3 works well. Then sip, gargle and steam your face with the hot brew as you go. You can always dilute if it's too strong. THIS REALLY WORKS. Keep in mind that cayenne and garlic both are stimulating and can actually make you irritated or angry, no kidding; so be aware of that. The turmeric will work wonders on it's own but best with some amount of all three.
I also sipped 1-2 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a large glass of water 2x/day. way better than nasal decongestant. Amazing. (you can skip it in the recipe if you do this)
I've basically completely recovered from the cold but am still taking the tumeric to help with chronic issues that I have. This stuff is amazing, something about producing white blood cells. Feel better! Earth Clinic Rocks!! Chris
Baking Soda

Medical and Surgical Reporter, Volume 74, page 285,1896
Dr. L. Duncan Bulkley, in Medical Record, January 18, relates his experience in the treatment of colds by the administration of bicarbonate of soda. This use of the remedy he discovered accidentally. When suffering from a cold he took some of the alkali for stomach acidity. In a short time he repeated the dose, and found that the cold was greatly relieved as well as the acidity. On other occasions he tried it upon himself and others, and finds it of the greatest service. His method of employing the bicarbonate is to give twenty to thirty grains (1/2 teaspoon) to an ordinary adult every half-hour, in about three ounces of water, until three doses are given, and then a fourth dose in an hour. In two or three hours the course of four doses may be repeated if the cold is not broken up. He has very seldom found it necessary to administer a third course of four doses. In the influenza type of colds he orders five to ten grains of phenacetine with ten to twenty grains of soda bicarbonate in powders. One of these is taken every two hours in hot water for a day or two.
