Thank you for shipping my latest case of colloidal silver promptly. As a Hidradenitis Suppurativa suffer for over thirty years, I can attest to the excellent results that I received over the past several months. After repeated surgeries, prolonged antibiotic therapy; isotretinoin and vaccine therapy colloidal silver had done what nothing else has, namely controlled this incurable disease. The infections are gone, and so is the pain. It’s nice to feel well again!!!!!! I highly recommend your product.
Best regards to all of you.

PS–You will probably get thousands of orders from this testimonial. There are 10’s of thousands of people like me.
Opinion 2
When I first found your site & read some testimonials, I must admit, I was somewhat skeptical. Even though there was some skepticism, I still decided I would try it, just to see if it could possibly help me. Since I am a Hidradenitis Suppurativa sufferer for over twenty years, I was willing to try anything not to have to deal with my painful condition any longer. Over the years I have seen several dermatologists, been through several attempts at trying to control it with antibiotic therapy (including Accutane) and have had multiple surgeries within the last few years.
Colloidal Silver has done something that I never thought could happen…it is actually controlling this incurable disease. Even though I have only been taking your product for two to three weeks, I already have seen drastic results. Its truly unbelievable, the infections and severe pain have totally vanished. I no longer take any medicine for my condition, just my regular daily supplement. Needless to say, I have just ordered and received my first case of it, since I am sure that I will find other uses for it too.
I strongly urge anyone to try this…especially Hidradenitis Suppurativa sufferers, it WILL change your life !!!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. I haven’t felt this good for many, many years !!!

PS. I have also told many of my friends about this excellent product, since for me, it really is a miracle product!!!

Dear
I just received an email with a bunch of testimonials– I am amazed at this product and I had to share too! I have been fighting hidradenitis suppurativa for about 8 years now and I have seen everyone from a dermatologist to a plastic surgeon. I finally found a specialist and thought we had found the cause and possibly a cure but I just got more and more breakouts. All she was doing was going down her list of medications and trying different ones until she could find one I could stay long periods of time and that worked. I was so fed up (and disgusted) with the situation I decided to do some of my own research and that is how I found your web site. I read some testimonials and that just amazed me how it worked for these people and the amount of time they had been dealing with this problem, I never knew it could last that long. I figured for the amount of money one bottle would cost to try was the same as a prescription. Once I received the bottle I started right away and stopped all medications. I saw a difference almost immediately. I was amazed with the results!!! All I can say is THANK YOU!! Melissa
We have a money back promise on our product so if it does not satisfy you (you are the judge of that), we simply refund your money.

I would like to give a testimonial on the benefits of Colloidal Silver. I usually don’t do this but I have had tremendous results. I have Hydradenitis and have had this for 15 years. It causes huge “boils” n your sweat glands. For 15 years I would have at least 2 or three of them at one time. I tried the colloidal silver after 4 different doctors said there was nothing they could do for it. In one weeks time all boils were gone and no new ones appeared. I have taken it for about 6 weeks now and still am free from this. If anyone has this will just give it a try I believe that you will see results. I am so happy that I gave it a chance. Thanks so much for this.
My quality of life has improved!

I have the skin disorder called “Hidradenitis Suppurativa” in the groin area. This started after 9/11, so I have had it for 1 1/2 years. The doctors told me I need surgery and skin grafting, this horrified me, so I started my own research. I went into different sites and found a support group for the above skin disorder and some of the sufferers used your product.
I was on antibiotics for 4 to 6 weeks at a time, and really do not like to be on anything as I am very health conscious. So, after a few months I ordered your product and BINGO!!
I started with 2 tblsp. per day for the 1st week, and noticed immediately the swelling and infection started to go down. I then went to 1 tblsp. per day, and have found that within a 2-3 week period, it looked as if the infection and swelling was completely gone. I will continue 1 tblsp. per day as a maintenance forever if necessary, as I refuse to have surgery!
Thank you so much for the product, I will be ordering soon again!!! Please share this with all of your customers!
Thanks again!!!

Dear friends,
Last year my 19 year old daughter started getting boils under her arms. They are painful! The dr. prescribed antibiotics each time, but they always returned within a few weeks. Now he was recommending surgery to remove infected flesh from under her arms and said that would cure her. That seemed drastic to me, so I started searching the internet for other ideas. I’m so glad I did because I found out that her condition has a name (Hidradenitis Suppurativa) and the vast majority of the surgery cases I read about, the boils returned anyway. I searched some more with discouraging results, but I found 1 testimonial of someone who used colloidal silver with excellent results. I had never heard of colloidal silver, but we were willing to try. I order a bottle from you. The first day she took 1 tbsp by mouth twice and wiped some under her arms before bed. The next morning the redness was gone and the lumps were reduced by more than half. How exciting! She has continued to use the silver every day since then and her underarms are completely clear. Time will tell if she stays clear long term, but we have a lot of hope. I wanted to share this now in hopes of helping others with their desperate condition. It truly is terrible! Thank you for helping my daughter!

Hi everyone reading this,
I am Becky. I am 40 yrs old and I have had a disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa for over 20 yrs. now. This is a very painful, disabling condition that causes large boils in the groin, under the arms and breasts, and on the buttocks. This disease is referred to as an “orphan’s disease” because there are only around 200,000 cases reported. I believe there are more people out there with this disease, but have been mis-diagnosed. I was visiting a site on the disease and read the guest books. I read where people had taken dozens of antibiotics, home remedies, herbal therapies, raisins, just several different things to try to control this disease. I came across one letter that grabbed my attention! A woman, in her 40’s, and with daughters had written about having the disease for over 20 yrs. and now her oldest daughter has it. She mentioned the medicine “Acutance” . A very powerful anti-acne medicine. I had taken the Acutance also, and had terrible results. She then wrote about a thing called “Colloidal Silver”. She said she had tried it for the H.S. and it was working. She said she ordered the silver and figured it would be the same old thing…a let down. But this was different. She said she got results in less than a week!!! I was so excited, I had to order some for myself. I was skeptical, of course, after everything I’d already tried. I think the bacon strips stuck under my armpit was the worst. So anyway, I ordered one bottle of the reg. C.S. and prayed. I took 1 tablespoon orally twice a day and used a q-tip to dab the silver on the boils. I could see a marked difference in the boils. They were getting smaller and didn’t hurt as bad. Then, I ran out of the C.S. Not being able to work at this time, I didn’t have money for more. So my Father, bless his heart, sent for 3 more bottles for me to try. I have been using it for 6 full weeks now and I haven’t had a breakout in 4 weeks. I am truly amazed. This stuff is working…for real !!!

Wow, Thank you for the immediate response. You have already changed my husband’s life with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, that fateful day I looked it up on the browser. Utopia Silver was the only site to come up, so it was one of those attitudes what do we have to lose. With all testimonials of people suffering previous to Colloidal Silver I knew he would try it. We first bought John the Advanced Silver and it worked within the first couple weeks after receiving it. So we bought another and it continued, with no flare ups. You then had the end of the year sale and we fortunately are now able to have the 4 of us(2 kids 3 and 1) on it daily. I am a trainer at a women’s gym, so I hear constant moans and groans of reasons they should be on Colloidal Silver. I have told numerous people about the product and have had a few start on it. I am certain as long as they see our family so healthy, they will want it also. Thank you also for showing me about minerals. Not realizing our bodies are made of 26% minerals, of course deficiencies lie there.
God Bless You and America,
Faithful till the end

Hello,
I am 29 years old, and since I was the age of 13, I have suffered from Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I have undergone several surgeries in my teenage years to help ease the pain and discomfort of the disease. Several years ago, I developed Acne Keloidalis Nuchae, which is inflammation and scarring that occurs on the nape (back) of the neck, due to irritation of hair. As the years passed the condition worsened. I visited numerous dermatologists that have given me steroid injections, numerous intravenous and oral antibiotics that did not work, and some doctors did not know what to do.
Several months ago, I was doing research on the condition of Hidradenitis Suppurativa and I came across your web site. I decided to take a chance and order a bottle of Colloidal Silver, for the treatment of my Acne Keloidalis Nuchae. I started with 10 ml twice a day, and within a week I noticed an overwhelming reduction with the inflammation on the back of my head. Also, I notice other areas of my body was clearing up, from acne to the H.S. I want to Thank You for the information, service and the product (Colloidal Silver) you offer. This past week was the first time in 3 years that I did not have to sleep with any gauze dressing on the back of my head. My confidence and self esteem has increased, and I want to Thank You for your product. My advice to anyone who uses the product is to drink plenty of water, and it will work for you too.

Hi, You may not remember me. I have been buying the silver for my hidradenitis suppurativa. I am starting on my 8th bottle now. I am having great results with the silver, but I have a few questions for ya ! I know the C.S. is safe for people and animals, what I’d like to know is is it beneficial for plants at all? Is it safe to add a little to your plant water? Also, my husband had a very bad back related to an old auto accident injury. Will it do any good for me to soak a wrap in the C.S. and apply it to his back, or would it be better taken orally?. He is one of those men that absolutely will not take anything unless he thinks he is going to die. I beg him to take a swig of my silver, but he just won’t. I know it works topically , but will it absorb to help the muscle pain? Thanks Bill. Oh yeah, still no new “boo boo’s” from the H.S., and in my last testimonial you posted, you spelled isotretinoin wrong. You put accutance or something. The medicine is isotretinoin.[That would have been in a testimonial which we don’t always edit for even spelling] Well, ta ta for now and thanks again!!!!!

RE: Help! I have a boil under my armpit
By: Boil Zapper 11/07/2003
I had boils for twenty years, I was always misdiagnosed by doctors, and I eventually went and tried to find my own remedy, I came across this website [colloidal silver] and I was kinda leery until I read the testimonies of the other people, and sure enough it worked, I haven’t had any breakouts in over 3 years, I highly recommend anyone with the disease Hidradenitis Suppurativa to use this immediately.

Hello to you, I am a brand new user of CS, and I just felt compelled to write. I have had this condition Hidradenitis for 13 years now and have gone thru many long and painful I&D treatments, surgeries, and antibiotic treatments. I saw your site on the internet while looking up my condition and after discussing it with my husband, decided I have nothing to lose. I have been on IV treatment of antibiotics for the last 5 weeks and just today, I was set free! I had read not to take CS while on antibiotic treatments, but instead of taking it ‘internally’, I decided to try it ‘externally’ in the meantime. I have been using it for 5 days now, (just patting it on the swollen and raw lesions) and I can’t believe the Improvement!! One bump has completely vanished, and the more drastic of the two, has improved 10 fold! I now have some comfort and am almost completely free from any pain! I am ordering more CS immediately!! After 13 years of so much pain, as well as emotional scarring, I can’t believe that I can now have a ‘normal’ life again. Thank you and God for bringing this into my life. G.N. Florida

Dear,
I just had to write. I’m sure you have tons of testimonials but …..
I have had problems with Hidradenitis Suppurativa since my late teens, which was over 49 years of it and FINALLY, Colloidal Silver seems to have it beaten at last! I wish I had known about it years before since I have terrible scarring under my arms and on my breasts from eruptions. Topically, it also worked wonders on some bug bites my husband got. He just had to scratch and he is diabetic. The next morning the redness was gone, and he said they no longer itched. I have a question about the Colloidal Gold. I had a serious fall several years ago and have developed arthritis in the injured spine and hips. Will it help? I suppose, since I was clinically dead after the fall, I should be grateful to be alive, but the pain gets unbearable at times. Keep up the good work!

just wanted to let you know what the colloidal silver has done for me. last march i woke up one morning to find my right underarm was full of red boil like bumps that soon opened and drained and continued to worsen. from there i saw different doctors and went through 4 rounds of antibiotics with little relief. they were spreading and very painful. i was sent to a surgeon only to find out my diagnosis of hidradenitis. he wanted to put me on another round of antibiotics before facing major surgery of removal of lymph nodes and tissue with possible skin grafts. i was desperate and got on the internet and found your website. orderd the 3 of advance, i used one as a spray for my underarm. in 3 days i noticed the lumps dried and redness going away, since then, i have not had a any more grow and the pain is gone! i carry the scars. i went for a follow up with the surgeon for the pending surgery, he was amazed at the results when i told him about the colliodal silver. my surgery is off for now. i take a Tblsp @nite and spray twice daily. it really is a wonder germ killer. i have told other people about it. my family has seen the major difference in my arm and has made a believer out of them. thank you for helping where antibiotics couldn’t. velma from texas (please use as testimony excluding last name and em add.)

After researching for years, I’ve finally found something that brings relief!! I suffer from HIDRADENTITIS SUPPURATIVA. Doctor after doctor,pain, embarrassment, antibiotics…which cause other issues and still no results. Being told you have to do this and take some of this usually before the insurance company will ok any further treatment. It doesn’t work. After researching further treatments it didnt seem like a good option either. Over the years I have tried numerous home remedies to no avail. I had even passed up on trying Utopia Silver. I am soo glad I finally made the purchase. I had a flare up on my inner thigh for over a year. Keeping it bandaged to alleviate the friction and pain. After 2 months of using Utopia Silver with a bandage it is completely closed and healed. I still use it to clean the area every day. My armpit was even worse. I don’t even know how long the flare up has been. I did the same thing with a bandage and Utopia Silver and the flare up has closed in the past 3 days. I don’t feel any pressure from puss build up like I would before if the flare up closed. Relief!!
Thank you so much for this product. I don’t want to be without it.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa Information
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, pus-producing (suppurative), scarring (cicatricial) disease process that occurs due to obstruction of hair follicles and secondary infection and inflammation of certain sweat glands (apocrine glands), particularly those under the arms (axillae) or within the anal/genital (anogenital) region. The disease is characterized by the development of recurrent, boil-like nodular lesions and deep pus-containing pockets of infection (abscesses) that may eventually rupture through the skin. Healing of affected areas is typically associated with progressive scarring (fibrosis). The specific underlying cause of hidradenitis suppurativa is unknown. This is a relapsing condition occurring, most commonly in women. It is an androgen-dependent disorder and results from keratinous material occluding the sweat pores. There is an association with lithium therapy and Crohn’s disease.
Etiology
HS often occurs in multiple members within families, suggesting a genetic predisposition. Various etiological agents have been associated. The increased incidence of HS in obese women with acne led to the theory of HS being associated with an hyperandrogenic endocrine disorder. One study did not find evidence for biochemical hyperandrogenism in women affected with HS. Thus, the role of androgens in HS is still not clear. Smoking, lithium and oral contraceptives may also be associated with HS, possibly as triggering factors. Nonetheless, the etiology of the disease is unknown.
Hidradenitis SuppurativaFrequency
In the US : In the United States , the prevalence of HS appears to be 1-2% in the general population.
Internationally : The prevalence of HS appears to be 1% of the general population; it was 4% in a group of young adults who were treated at a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases. HS is probably more common than once thought, but the diagnosis is frequently ignored or missed. HS has a worldwide distribution, though hot, humid environments tend to support its development.
Pathogenesis of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Historically, apocrinitis was believed to be the defining histologic feature and pathogenetic mechanism of HS. Characteristic lobular abscesses in the apocrine gland, demonstrated histologically, seemed to further implicate apocrine gland involvement in the manifestation of disease. Recently, histological evidence points to HS being a follicular disease. Histological examination in the majority of specimens reveals follicular involvement, including poral occlusion and folliculitis. Apocrinitis as the dominant histological feature is found in only a small number of specimens. Furthermore, a paucity of apocrine glands was demonstrated in the genitofemoral region, one area commonly affected by HS. This finding supports the theory that apocrine gland inflammation is not the etiological and pathogenetic mechanism of HS, but rather a secondary manifestation of follicular involvement.
Hidradenitis SuppurativaMortality/Morbidity
The death rate is similar to that in the general adult population.
Although rare complications of the disease are described, little is known about the typical effects of HS. HS is a chronic disabling disorder that relentlessly progresses and leads to keloids, contractures, and immobility; patients can become outcasts or at least have difficulty in making social contact.
Therapy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa is challenging. Late stage disease, evidenced by the formation of sinus tracts, fibrosis and scarring, usually necessitates surgical intervention. Early HS is sometimes treated with antibiotics in our experience, although few clinical trials are available.
Medical therapy is of limited value once HS has progressed past its early stage. The surgical option of choice for late stage HS is wide local excision with healing by secondary intention. One study examined patients with chronic HS who had undergone surgery between the years of 1976 and 1997. An estimated 72-month follow-up revealed that 45% of the patients had recurrence of local HP. A 100% recurrence rate was reported after drainage procedures, while limited and wide local excision techniques had a recurrence rate of 42.8% and 27%, respectively. More recently, carbon dioxide laser excision has been proposed as a better alternative to conventional surgery. Carbon dioxide laser excision offers better hemostasis and visualization of abscessed tissue than conventional surgical techniques, allowing more accurate excision.
Clinical Features of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
HS may arise singularly or multifocally in the genitofemoral, perianal and axillary areas. The lesions are painful and have a foul odor attributed to bacterial colonization. Erythematous dermal abscesses form that measure up to 2 cm in diameter. Untreated abscesses will gradually increase in size and may drain to the surface. The course of HS is chronic and remitting, with new abscesses arising in previously unaffected areas or in regions of past involvement. Scarring, fibrosis and sinus tract formations are manifestations of late disease. Strictures can occur secondary to sinus tracts; fistulas may also complicate HS. Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare sequella of longstanding HS. These cancers may be locally aggressive with distant metastases and a high mortality rate.
Race/Sex/Age
Race: Although many authors report no racial predilection, an increased incidence is observed in blacks, possibly because blacks have a greater density of apocrine glands compared with whites.
Sex: Although HS is widely considered to occur more frequently in females than in males, with a ratio as high as 2-5:1, reports on sex prevalence are controversial. Axillary involvement is probably more common in women than in men, whereas perianal and anogenital involvement tends to be more common in men.
Age : The onset of HS peaks in individuals aged 11-50 years, with an average patient age of 23 years. In fewer than 2% of patients, the disease appears before they are aged 11 years. In extremely rare cases, HS occurs before puberty or after menopause.
