During summer of 2009, I volunteered as a camp counselor for kids with a history of cancer. During this camp, I acquired symptoms that escalated into a high fever, cough, phlegm interalia other symptoms on the last day which, by the time I got home had me exhausted. The next day, we received a circular from the Vancouver Coastal Health Authorities that one of our campers was diagnosed positive for the "swine flu" (H1N1) and that anyone else having the symptoms were to self-quarantine for a week. They cancelled the following week of camp.
On the 3rd day, I went to the local clinic with the letter, and the doctor came out screaming at me to not have shown up unless I was crawling on my knees and about to die, otherwise I was putting the public at risk.. he was right. They had just changed their policy that they were no longer required to test for the virus anymore and any treatment was refused.
My friend Susan gave me a bottle of the ProtectSol Silver solution, which I took immediately and gargled as I knew of its anti-viral/bacterial abilities. Immediately there was a strange taste in the back of my throat. I did this regularly through the days that followed with just a tad bit. But I began to feel fine as well and didn't need to take anti-biotics or anything of the sort. As with many natural fighting remedies, it's so mild that it's hard to tell if it's you simply recovering or the remedy - there wasn't any "reaction" and it's hard to tell what actually got me turned around. Nonetheless the exhaustion waned, the cough subdued and over two or three weeks, I was back to normal. Make your conclusions :)
