I must ask, what are Ancestral supplements and what is colloidal silver? If its nebulizer, do I need to buy a machine? Are they even for sale? And yes I'm terrified of sepsis returning. It was a nightmare through which I was conscious. I will do just about anything to avoid that again. Also conscious when they put the central line in my neck. Just even watching a tv show where I hear a heart monitors bells or the noise it makes when your 02 goes below 88 sends me into a panic!

Yvonne I just wanted you to know that you are recovering beautifully given what you went through. If I was your neighbor, I would take you out for a walk in the fresh air to relieve your anxiety! Can you find someone to walk with from your building?
Congratulations on the healthy diet. It will do you more good than all the supplements in the world.
Hugs! Sue

@yvonne55 and @gillysmom, please note:
According to Dr. Brent Bauer from Mayo Clinic says "Colloidal silver isn't considered safe or effective for any of the health claims manufacturers make. Silver has no known purpose in the body. Nor is it an essential mineral, as some sellers of silver products claim."
