My pulmonologist is 90% sure I have MAC lung disease, but we are still waiting for the results of the sputum test. I have a history of digestive problems and am still fighting with serious problems in that area. Because of that I really don't think I can handle the 3 antibiotic treatment. My Naturopath recommended using colloidal silver in a nebulizer- 1ml in distilled water twice a day.

My pulmonologist said it could take 3 months before I see any improvement with the antibiotics and I know natural remedies usually take longer than drugs. I've already started using the silver. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this treatment? If so, how long did it take to improve and what does did you use?

I'm a 64 year old woman, 5'8" and weigh 90 pounds, not because I like being skinny, I'm just that sick.

Thanks for your input.

Hi Alice, I've been reading here and came across your comment about using Colloidal silver. Did you nebulize it and how often and for how long? Did it help you? How are you doing now?

I've been using about 1/4 of a teaspoon of mesosilver in a nebulizer once a day for almost a year. It's made a slight improvement in my breathing. I know that sounds like a long time but since my doctor said it would take the antibiotics up to 3 years to work I thought I'd just stick with it. I'm also taking Astragalus to help my immune system.

In reply to Alice (Tucson),

Something to consider when delivering a substance to the lungs is the total interior surface area of the lungs which on average is equivalent to half the size of a regulation tennis court.

With that thought in mind, I am doubtful that 1/4 teaspoon of MesoSilver @ 20 ppm is going to go very far in trying to cover that large of an area and the delivery rate of a nebulizer may be a bit low also. An ultrasonic humidifier can deliver a much larger amount in a given period of time.

Let's assume that you have a 500 ml bottle of MesoSilver 20 ppm. If that is actually the case, then your bottle contains only 10 mg of silver. You stated you are using only 1/4 teaspoon of the MesoSilver per day. There are approximately 405 of these 1/4 teaspoon doses in your bottle. If you divide the 10 mg of silver by the number of doses (405 doses), you will get the approximate dose of silver per 1/4 teaspoon as this is the way you say you are using it. 10 mg / 405 = .0246913580246914 mg per daily dose! At that rate it will take you over a year ( to get just 10 mgs of colloidal silver!

These may be contributing factors to why your progress might be less than you hoped for.
