Dear Bill: it seems that you have used lots of bacterial agents trying to get your colon normalized. While an overgrowth of bad bacteria might certainly have been the genesis of your troubles, I wonder if you are now experiencing the natural side effect of having nuked your gut population (good AND bad)? You can get diarrhea from antibiotics, as the gut microbiome is crucial to the proper function of your colon. I know you have had many consults with highly credentialed professionals, but as an advocate of natural health with no fancy letters behind her name, have you considered replenishing your gut bacteria in a natural way, and seeing if that doesn't help your situation?
As I have read on the effects of taking antibiotics, many experts feel that it takes a LONG time after their use to recover healthy gut flora (if ever!!). I haven't experienced a lot of clearly beneficial response from "probiotic" PILLS, although some definitely work better than others, but I have had great results with using homemade REAL kefir, and fermented vegetables. Especially kefir is powerful at repopulating your gut flora after having used antibiotics. What you get in the stores is not REAL kefir -- it has only a very limited number of gut bacteria types/good yeasts, etc. When you use actual kefir grains, which are symbiotic communities of over 30 different beneficial bacteria and yeasts that actually populate your gut, rather than just passing through, you get kefir that is rich in all those elements that nurture your gut. Are you reactive in a negative way to dairy products? If not, milk kefir is VERY easy to produce, and when made into a smoothy, is very palatable as well, and effective medicine for gut troubles.
You can order some kefir grains online, and then the only trouble is keeping them fed and alive, as they are living, and need constant care. I am 63, and as I have gotten older, I have finally decided that my good health is worth the effort to babysit the grains, lol! The Metagenix products you used are basically foods, or absorption aids, and didn't seem to address the gut biome issue that I suspect may be at the root of your issue.
I hope I am not offending you by offering unsolicited advice, but you have done so much for so many of us with your Colloidal Silver work, that I felt obliged to offer what help I could!! In my reading about Colloidal Silver, there seems to be some disagreement regarding whether Colloidal Silver damages good gut bacteria. It may not, based upon some writings, but it may if taken in large quantities internally for a long time. Thus, many of the things that you have done trying to address your colon issue may actually have worsened your condition!!
Perhaps focusing on your gut biome in a supportive way, and focusing on your emotional/mind/body connection may be the next logical areas to explore to restore your energy and health. The mind is a powerful causative factor as well...has your stress level increased before all of this happened with your health? I have used EFT for years with great success, and am now learning about the Healing Codes (a christian-based type of energy medicine). I will pray for you!! Thanks for your response, again!! Especially in the pain and stress you are experiencing, you are amazing to keep serving others in the way that you do!! If you would like, I can send you links on EFT, which my husband and I have had some amazing experiences with regarding physical issues, and it is free and there are TONS of resources for it available free on the net.

PS I LOVE the Silvertron unit you designed -- it is elegant and works beautifully! I had another silver generator in the distant past that looked like an 8th graders science project, lol! You deserve all the kudos and appreciation we can give you!!
