Although I run this site nearly full time, I am still a registered server specialist for IBM and get called in now and then to help out. I was called to NTL near Reading in November 2003 to help install some new IBM servers. As Reading is quite a distance from Torquay, I decided to stay with an old friend in Marhull, Dorset which is half the distance away and it was only for one week.

I didn't realise how far it was to Reading from Marnhull and I had to drive up the dreaded A303, A34 and M4 to get to work. This was only about 120 miles but took 3 hours each way.

The work was interesting but I was in a large computer room with the chillers on full blast. Because of the difference in air temperature many of the guys started to get coughs & colds and eventually I did too. To my horror, I found I had left my bottle of Colloidal Silver at home and by Thursday I had the full on flu. Thankfully, I had nearly completed the installation and managed to avoid coming in on Friday so I drove straight home to Devon, took 200ml of Colloidal Silver and went to sleep. The next day I took 30 ml five time at 2 hour intervals and by the evening all the symptoms had gone.

Now, I never go anywhere with out my bottle and even keep a 200ml bottle in the car at all times. If I am around anyone with the flu, I take 30ml straight away and sometimes even force them to take it too, on humanitarian grounds!

One point to note:- I am a freelance consultant not an employee. It was only through the kindness of the IT Manager who allowed me to finish off on Thursday night otherwise I would have lost a full days pay on the Friday. Usually, if I am ill I do not get paid. I recommend anyone who is not an employee (& gets paid when ill) to take Colloidal Silver!
