The lungs are among the body’s largest organs. The air we breathe enters out bodies through the trachea (windpipe), with connects with the bronchi, the breathing tubes that lead into the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs.
Description
Respitory illnesses may injure the airway tubes. Inflammation may result in a build-up of mucus, along with coughing, fever, pain in the chest and/or back, fatigue, sore throat, difficulty breathing, and often, sudden chills and shaking.
Respiratory illnesses may be either acute or chronic. Acute respiratory illnesses may be caused by infection which may derive from various sources. Chronic respiratory illnesses may stem from irritation of the lungs from irritants such as smoke, noxious fumes or even allergies.
Silverlab Colloidal Silver For Respiratory Illness
Take 10ml Silverlab Liquid every 2 hours until symptoms have improved. Hold the liquid in your mouth for 2 minutes before swallowing.
Many have reported success in treating bronchitis by also nebulizing with 5ml Silverlab Nebulising Liquid 2 times per day.

Coughs
Coughing is often due to an infection such as flu, bronchitis, TB, asthma or smoking. If you have mucus, spray with Colloidal Silver nasal spray deep in the nasal passages. It kills the viruses which the mucus exists off and it dries up. If you have phlegm, take a product that contains an expectorant. This makes it easier to loosen the mucus when coughing. The generic product Alcophyllex is excellent and cheap; even small amounts work.
Colloidal silver can be gargled for a dry cough and swallowed. It kills the bacteria and viruses that cause irritation within 4-6 minutes.
