Excellent post, OP. I sincerely hope that what your wife and son are suffering from proves to be temporary. It might be hard for a 3 year old to hold the liquid under his tongue the right way and for the amount of time that's recommended, but I hope you don't think it forward of me to recommend that you buy some colloidal silver, right away, and have your wife start taking it. I got pretty sick shortly after I arrived in the U.S. last year to visit friends, and I decided to treat the illness with colloidal silver, as I try to stay far away from antibiotics. It took some time, but it ended up working like a charm. To my mind, its efficacy is unquestionable. I also found a good source for barley grass powder, which also seemed to help markedly. I highly recommend that as well.
