Safe, Effective, Natural Antibiotic - A Godsend!

I am referring to Colloidal Silver which has proven itself very useful as a wide-spectrum bug-buster in the brief time that we have been using it. (No wonder information on this “super antibiotic” has been suppressed by big pharmaceutical companies worldwide for many decades!!)
When you are a mother of young kids, you are not a stranger to the frequent bouts of infectious diseases that kids contract and manage to spread to the rest of the family. Colds, coughs, flu, laryngitis, etc. are only a few of the afflictions that plague our household on a regular basis.

Just 2 weeks ago, however, my youngest daughter came down with the measles. I was very reluctant, to say the least, about taking her to the doctor because I knew I would merely be advised to keep her comfortable, e.g. maintaining a normal temperature, pushing fluids, and basically letting the disease take its course. In addition, I did not want them hassling me about why I stopped bringing my children back to the doctors for their immunizations (a choice we had to make for certain reasons).

Like some mothers would, I resolved to take matters into my own hands. Apart from copious prayers and requests for intercession from close friends and relatives, I decided to give her colloidal silver, a naturally obtained antibacterial. Our family has been using it for a few months now (a tablespoon, once every night) as an immunity booster, and I must say that it has been quite effective in keeping the old nasties at bay.

However its most impressive “performance” (for want of a better word) in our family was witnessed as recent as only a couple of weeks ago. In late December, we drove interstate (approx 12-hour drive) and visited some family in Sydney. We stayed for a couple of days and drove back. Because it was quite hectic, and our normal daily routine suddently went haywire, the kids were consequently sleep-deprived, to a certain extent. Hence, I suspect, Bright-eyes' normal resistance had understandably dropped. A few days after we got back from our long drive, we noticed her breaking out in a generalized rash. Although I was initially uncertain of its nature, I had to make sure it was not the dreaded meningiococcal rash. So I tested the rash with the old “glass test.” Imagine my relief when I proved that it was not! And after looking through medical books and websites, it was conclusively – measles.

As aforementioned, whilst we normally only take it once every night, I had to increase Bright-eyes' colloidal silver dosage during her illness. I was giving her a dose every 3 hours. To our pleasant surprise, this nonpharmacologic treatment started taking effect almost instantaneously. And within 48 hours, her rashes disappeared from sight – literally. We were admittedly very shocked to witness the speed at which this natural therapy eliminated the disease. In an attempt to provide an apt description for it, impressive is simply an understatement.

In all this, I am so thankful for God’s loving providence that the disease did not progress any further especially before Bright-eyes got any worse. During this illness (which can reportedly be fatal in small children, in some cases) we never had to set foot at a medical clinic or consult with any medical professional. And after this recent eye-opening experience, we now have a renewed trust in our wonder-elixir (as I like to refer to it) which is apparently as naturally occurring as any other trace element in the body – which is why colloidal silver is classified as a ‘food supplement.’

Notwithstanding our desire to increase our awareness of the different herbs from “God’s Pharmacy” and the benefits that they can have on our health; nonetheless, we are very pleased to have come across this natural antibiotic. And compared to the man-concocted, chemically formulated antibiotics (whose production are, more often than not, profit-driven), that cause more harm than good, especially in children, I can safely say that colloidal silver is – definitely – a Godsend.

Et clamaverunt ad Dominum in tribulatione sua de angustiis eorum salvavit eos misit verbum suum et sanavit eos et salvavit de interitu. Psalm 106: 19-20

For A Soul's Safe Journey Home

Today is the day that Holy Mother Church celebrates the feastday of Stephen, the very first disciple who died for his faith in Jesus. Being the first Christian martyr, his story is one where we can draw a lot of inspiration from. Before he breathed his last, he prayed for his persecutors – led by Saul himself (who later became St Paul post conversion). As scripture asserts, a few moments before his death – as he was being stoned – St Stephen’s face shone like the face of an angel. And after he asked God to forgive his killers, he exclaimed: “Lord, receive my spirit!”

On a more personal level, today was an extra-special day, as we had invited our Chaplain, Fr Marce, to come to our home chapel to celebrate Holy Mass for the eternal repose of my father’s soul. On this occasion of his 40th day after death, we ask St Stephen to help us pray for Daddy’s journey to Heaven, our true home.

Daddy, may God’s angels meet you and conduct your soul to the sight of the Most High. With the powerful intercession of St Stephen, may the Good Lord, Who has called you back to Him, lovingly and mercifully receive your soul.

Daddy, requiescas in pace!

Unto Us A Child Is Born!

From my family to yours, we wish you happiness and joy this Christmas season and bountiful blessings for the coming year.

May the glorious countenance of the Christ Child shine upon us and bring us PEACE.

Venite adoremus Dominum!!

Testing The Waters

Hmm... Been contemplating this for a while now, but it was not until recently that I decided to finally do it. So here I am. And although I have been sorta' kinda' "blogging" (here) intermittently via one of those networking vehicles for a couple of years or so, I thought I'd now venture out into BLOGGER. Hence this page. (By the way, thank you, Michelle for a lovely design!)

I thought, what better time to commence this endeavour than Advent, the start of the Liturgical Year (or whatever is left of it before THE Feastday of all feastdays), especially because this blog is more aimed at documenting our family's spiritual journey (and collateral experiences) throughout the liturgical year than anything else.

And what an inspiring time of the year! Apart from encouraging the kids to keep doing their good deeds and sacrifices to earn them pieces of straw to line Baby Jesus' manger, we are also in the middle of decluttering and doing a big clean up of the house. Hopefully we can get it spotless (or as close to it as we can) in time for Christmas!

Of course, part of our attempts to get our life in better order is not to neglect the spiritual. And although constantly struggling, we have been trying to get to daily Mass in the evenings (so we can all go as a family). And hopefully we can successfully approach the Sacrament of Penance by Thursday, to do a big "clean-up" of our souls, too!

Veni, veni Emmanuel, captivum solve Israel!
