Good for whatever ails you
On my doctor's recommendation, I started using Severin Silver about 15 years ago for a variety of reasons.
- Initially I took it to shorten the duration of weekly herpes outbreaks (Ewww.). I take it orally and put the gel right on the herpes sore. If I'm consistent in taking it every day, however (about 1 teaspoon twice a day,) I don't even get an outbreak. But alas, I'm human and do forget. I double the dosage (about a tbsp every 2-3 hours during an outbreak) and it shortens the healing from a week to 2-3 days.
- Ditto for colds, infections, skin sores and plugged nasal passages.
- The biggest help, however, is using SS for Epstein Barr Virus. If I use it every day I keep the virus in abeyance (1-2 tsps /day.) If I forget to take it, symptoms come on after a couple of days of abstainence, but go away quickly when I start the dosage again.
- The biggest surprise was using it on impulse to get rid of a huge wart on my leg. Ewww again. I tried several other remedies to shrink it, to no avail. Then I put some of the SS gel on a cotton facial cleanser pad and taped it over the wart. I changed the "bandage" after every shower (daily.) I saw a difference after the second day. While it took about three weeks, I saw an improvement every time I changed the bandage. The wart, or whatever it was completely gone in 3-4 weeks and has sprouted back up for over 6 months.
- And lastly, I tried it on a few skin tags and it work on them as well. Just amazing.
I really love this stuff and particularly the Sovereign brand. Like someone else's review, I'd give it 10 stars too.
