Life Happens.

--- Life has never been quite like this, no, not in my lifetime now approaching seventy years on this planet... We're all in a lot of trouble. But, is it trouble promulgated by *"The Powers That Be"* (or perhaps more accurately, the *"Powers That **SHOULDN'T** Be,"* or is it caused by a freak of nature commonly called the "coronavirus" or "COVID-19?" We could debate that all day.

My very personal perspective is this:

The man commonly known as Jesus of Nazareth; the Jesus of biblical fame; the Jesus venerated, at least with lip service, by the majority of "Christians" in the world... *That* Jesus is the person who I believe to in all truth be **[THE sovereign Creator](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1%3A1-5&version=ESV)** of the entire universe. That of course includes *you* and *me* and every human being who has ever lived. My point is that Jesus/God has not forgotten us, nor is he unaware or uncaring about his people in the midst of these difficult times.

And the times are difficult.

Life is different than we've ever experienced, at least here in the United States of America. Seriously, have you ever seen this kind of situation in your entire lifetime? Maybe, if you're considerably older than I am; maybe if you were around for **[the "Great Depression,"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression),** maybe you have personally seen something somewhat close to what we are now seeing... If you're still around, *congratulations!*, you're a really tough old bird... But how does it compare? If you're still around, still capable of reading and appreciating what I'm asking, what's happening...??? Won't you *please* share with us—was the Great Depression anything like this? How does it compare with what we're now experiencing? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who would tremendously value your insight into such a comparison.

But back to my real purpose for writing this...

However, *first,* I must state the following: >***"NOTE:** I am not a doctor, nor am I a medical professional of any kind. Nothing I say can be taken as medical advice. If you have any concerns about your health whatsoever, please consult your personal physician. Having said that, I am happy to share with you my personal experiences and my opinions, for whatever they may be worth to you."* I'm sure your mileage may vary; I'm sure all of our individual experiences, though sharing much commonality—toilet paper shortages, for one simple and memorable example—I'm sure our experiences nonetheless are also radically different. Please forgive me if this arouses a sense of jealously, but in our particular case, the COVID-19 "crisis" of 2020 has been a circumstance that I feel Jesus/God has used, in his capacity as sovereign over all the universe, to greatly bless our family.

How can this be?

While I feel this *positive* effect in a very personal, individual way, I know that there are many others in the world who have been similarly affected. We're not alone. Perhaps the majority, and perhaps you yourself, have been adversely affected by this crisis. Nevertheless, it has (indirectly) become a blessing to us, as well as some others in strategic positions to offer goods and services that are needed during these troubled times. These events have, thank God, opened the eyes of many to the value and efficacy of colloidal silver as a defense against viruses. As a consequence, we are having difficulty building and delivering our superb, high-tech, fully-automatic **[colloidal silver making machines](https://SILVERengines.com)** fast enough. Sales have skyrocketed. People are waking up to the amazing, incredible value of colloidal silver.

FULL STOP.

Yes, I *know* that you've heard—I know that you've *read*—the phenomenal barrage of media propaganda targeting anyone who would *dare* to open their lips and maintain that, yes, *elemental silver* is a superior anti-viral agent. That, ***yes***, **[ionic colloidal silver](https://silverengines.com/which-is-better-ionic-or-true-colloidal-silver/)** is a very powerful means of sanitizing surfaces and rendering even—*God help us*—**COVID-19** itself powerless to harm us.

Know this:

I am *not*, repeat ***NOT*** making any such claims. Hey, it's too early in this global pandemic to make any such statements. There are, of course, no double-blind studies showing colloidal silver to prevent, cure, or remediate those afflicted with COVID-19 at all... No, not just yet. (But there undoubtedly *will* be, as time goes on.) Even so, it irks me greatly that every Tom, Dick, and Harry who has a blog or a news outlet of any kind has mindlessly jumped on the bandwagon to call out, bash, disparage, and abuse any and everyone who has the audacity to even suggest that colloidal silver may be of benefit during this crisis.

Just google "false cures coronavirus."

You will find an endless supply of articles bashing colloidal silver. Did any of them do one iota of research into the matter? Our most substantial competitor, Mr. Steve Barwick of https://thesilveredge.com, was enjoined by the frickin' attorney general of the state of New York to stop making **[any statements about colloidal silver](https://thesilveredge.com/redirect-for-coronavirus-articles/)** in connection with the coronavirus. He responded by taking down all of his blog pages that contained abundant evidence that his opinions on the matter are substantiated.

Seriously?

**How many people have to die** because the PTB have lied to them about this matter (as they do about almost everything)? How many citizens who have foolishly put their trust in human government and mass media will be frightened away from a readily available, simple product that can protect and sustain their health? And for no other reason than that they have been indoctrinated by the FDA, and by pharmaceutical-giant-supported media outlets and opinion influencers like Google, WebMD, and Mayo Clinic, spouting the ignorant, uniformed falsehoods that amount to nothing more than their indoctrinated opinions about the value and efficacy of colloidal silver? These people are sycophants, parrots who without any thought or true concern for the populace at risk, would rather talk trash about one of the greatest anti-viral agents known to man. Rather than do even the most trivial, superficial investigation of their own, they hasten to quote banal government sources that baselessly deny the value of silver in combatting viruses. Do you care? Is your family, the ones closest to you, your dearly loved ones, so unimportant to you that you would lend an ear to these mimicking marauders who would monkey-copy one another and scare you away from one of the most, if not the most effective anti-viral mechanisms that are widely and readily available to you? Please don't be swayed by those with a vested interest in their personal profits and by their supposed stature as "herd journalists." Do your own reading. Find out for yourself that silver has been scientifically proven, again and again, to be powerfully effective against viruses. Can you read? Please do. I refer you to my greatest and favorite competitor, Mr. Steve Barwick. Our machine may be far superior to his, but his research ability is unparalleled. Fortunately, you can still read what he has to say in general about the benefits of colloidal silver in the face of any and all viruses:

Link: ["The Antiviral Qualities of Colloidal Silver"](https://thesilveredge.com/antiviral-qualities-of-colloidal-silver-documented)

In these frightening times, I think you would do well to review the substantive collection of references Mr. Barwick offers in that article. Once you find the truth on your own, *Who knows?* You may even want to buy your own colloidal silver making machine. Oh, yeah... Buy *ours*, not *theirs*... ***[Ours is better.](https://silverengines.com/the-competition/)*** [![corona-4914549_1920.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVZNGeYmmh4vLtoQQzenJ8W2JfBKLVuBQ8gpiEi6eu5to/corona-4914549_1920.png)](https://steemit.com/a/@creatr/b)

OK, then,

now that I've got that rant off of my chest, How are you doing? How are you holding up in the midst of all this enforced craziness? What are you doing about cabin fever? Are you able to purchase the basic needs for yourself and your family? Can you see through the thin veneer of all the government power grabs, the deflection from attention to the popping financial bubble, the market manipulations? Please let us know in the comments. I've been too busy responding to all the madness and filling orders for **[SILVERengines products](https://SILVERengines.com)** lately to do much writing here, but the dam has finally burst and here I am.

Where are you?

How are you and your family doing? We'd love to hear from you. ---
