I want to say right upfront that I think it is very difficult to prove a product such as this works for something like strengthening one's immunity or getting over a cold or preventing a cold, etc. without scientific studies done on me and my blood, etc..
So I acknowledge that this falls within the realm of "anecdotal" evidence.
I started taking this product because a massage therapist / healer who I KNOW helps me (I've had headaches I've had all day cured by his massage techniques within minutes and I've had shoulder pain that plagued me for months relieved within a few days) told me to use this stuff. So I bought it without hesitation to give it a try.
Okay, so the first anecdotal evidence I have is that my wife kept getting the same cold 2-3 times, which would start to go away then within a day or two it would come back.
I gave her this silver product a few times per day for a couple days and the cold went away and has not come back. Could it be just lucky timing? Yes, it could. But I think it is likely that this product worked to help my wife finally beat that cold.
I work in an enclosed air conditioned environment where it's almost kept at refrigerator temperature and I have cold dry wind blowing right down on me where I sit at work. As a result of this and my tendency to have throat and nose infections, I take whatever I can to boost my immune system.
I bought this large size in order to give this product a good trial and see if I notice any improvements. I plan to take it regularly for the next few months and then we'll see if I get sick like I usually do this time of year as a result of being outside in the heat and then going into the "refrigerator" to work all day.
I will add that I did some research before choosing this brand of silver. There is a very good independent site about silver - google it - and it has tons of info and shows how this is the better silver product on the market. Frankly I was afraid to take silver. I had heard of it and was intrigued by it but felt it might be dangerous. My research on it put that fear to rest and that's why I am here.
NOTE that some silvers MAY be dangerous. The research done on THIS one indicates it is not only not dangerous but in fact contributes to health. That said I am certainly not a doctor and nothing I say here should be construed as medical advice!
I will continue to update this review as time goes on and as my personal experience with Sovereign Silver continues.
UPDATE:
Two days ago I DEFINITELY was coming down with a cold. I KNOW when I start to get one. I had my usual symptons: scratchy throat, low energy, feeling lousy. I took a teaspoon of this stuff before going to bed and I felt miraculously completely better the next day. Then I went out that night and over-did it, drank several glasses of wine, attended a concert, was on my feet dancing all evening. So that night I started getting the symptoms back again. I got home early enough to take 2 teaspoons of silver a few hours apart. I woke up today feeling perfectly fine, no symptoms at all.
I am very hard to convince of an alternative product like this so I am still not willing to say, without caveat, "This works!" However I am pretty close to saying it does and as time goes on and I have more experience with this stuff I may update it by saying "This stuff absolutely works!" I am not quite there yet but I suspect I will get there.
By the way I've also had some success with eczema, applying it directly to the area. It did not cure it but did help it. Oh, and I had a problem with water in my ear or something, it wouldn't go away. So I put some silver and hydrogen peroxide in my ear (just a few drops each) and one of the two or both solved that problem. I have heard that hydrogen peroxide in the ear also may help defeat a cold, so I would also try mixing it with silver. Note that NOTHING I have ever found works completely to prevent or calm an outbreak of eczema, and this so far is the same. It helped a couple times, but a couple other times it did not, or at least not as much.
All I can say is that I will definitely be buying more of this stuff. And once I am thoroughly convinced that it works - or doesn't work - I will post back here, and will post any updates as I have more personal experience with this stuff.
I do believe this stuff works at least in some cases, and I believe it is strengthening my immune system.
Another UPDATE: Okay, finally one time it didn't work well on my wife's flu; at least, it didn't knock it out.
However it was a relatively mild one so - maybe it helped?
In any case I just bought my 3rd bottle of this stuff.
More updates as time goes on, and if I find it NOT working any time my wife and I get a cold or flu, I will report that as well. So far, every time it has helped
