Colloidal Silver: Blue Man or Miracle Supplement?

Dave, it is always good to read your posts, especially as I am a long time user of CS.

I have two questions. One relating to your video where you make a small quantity of CS and the dump it into a gallon jar, half full of purified water.

In the past I have made roughly 16 oz. cs in a glass that accommodated the full length silver rods. I never added more water later on. Any comment?

When I attempted to pour some cs into the pets drinking water, the water from the tap which is very pure and straight from the mountains, turned inevitably grey. I won't give them distilled water to drink though.

A comment I have wished to make: many years ago a US scientist took it upon himself, very much like you, to educate the public on cs making and the fabulous benefits.

In the DVD I saw he had a head full of dark hair but he related that he had lost all his hair before but for some time he misted his head with cs. His hair regrew in its original colour. He mentioned the hair loss was due to parasites which were exterminated by his use of cs.

After one of his lectures for the public, outside his hotel he was attacked and sustained a deep scar across his face.

In my experience, parasites panic upon the presence of cs in the body much like when using "Georgia" turpentine.

My own positive experience was with removal of "rosea" and my facial skin is perfect. I used a cotton ball and treated my face for an hour at a time which worked quickly. Now when sitting in the sun, R. does not return. Another time, years back, cs was extremely effective with bed bugs. They die upon contact.

Perhaps you can find the time to answer my two questions, just to know what your thoughts are.

Namaste, Om

Put apple cider vinegar on your cat's paw and they will lick it off...This will be the end of the mites...Read Lugol's web site for more information..

Re Colloidal Silver question to me

Use a "steamer-inhaler"...I get mine at Walgreens. The CS goes in the pan of course, and I breathe deeply three times daily for a week if necessary to knock out infection. If I believed mites in sinus I'd use Boron (Borax), a quarter teaspoon in eight ounces of purified water. I'd try that in a ear syringe to get at the mites. My thought is that Borax might be more effective than silver in killing mites. But I might try both in alternating fashion. Boron has worked well for me on ringworm fungus too.

So in summary:

1. For respiratory infection I use a steamer-inhaler and with DEEP breathing, three times daily for a week, use CS for bronchial and lungs.

2. For sinus and ears, I use an ear syringe to give a through irrigation using CS.

3. For mites, I'd try Boron with in an ear syringe diluted as described above.

It seems to be the same generator you use on your video. I have cats with upper resp and they are hanging in there. In addition I have a recurring cough with irritation along the trachea. I also need to drive mites out of nose, eyes and ears. So, for multiple purposes do I need just a plastic bottle for inhalation as per video or a machine type for nebulizing or what. Can you give me a bit of guidance? I suspect mites are in the air passage ways. I have to keep in mind that the cats need it too.

Thanks, Dave. Namaste Om

In Re your many question on your Colloidal Silver generator.

Well...where should I begin?

Not to overload; let me begin by complimenting your obtaining a CS generator for yourself.

Watch my video on Earth Clinic...go to top of page and see "videos"...next to "books" and click the site and up will come eight videos. I have one video dedicated to the production of silver solution.

Next...do it.

Next .... drink it.

If one dilutes as I describe, one is getting microscopic amounts of silver atoms...but even a tiny amount will impact infection in the system. Note a sinus, or ear infection requires (my system) taking the CS as an irrigation.

As for the chemistry...electrolysis produces one less electron in the silver atom. Hence the silver is an ion...still silver of course.

Next, if one wants to make silver chloride, one must use as an intermediate step, nitric acid to produce silver nitrate and THEN the silver nitrate is added to a cup or so of salt to produce silver chloride.

No where in my process is nitric acid used to produce a step that gives us silver nitrate ... thus, no silver chloride can be made.

I was in a CS group and mentioned how I made my batch and was asked by someone in the group how do I know what I'm making is in fact CS. He went on to tell me that I'm not making CS, I'm making ionic silver. I looked up ionic silver and it said silver chloride is a compound that is formed when silver ions combine with chloride ions, it goes on to say silver chloride is an insoluble salt that does not dissolve inside the body once it has formed and something about that this is what causes the blue skin problem if it's continually consumed.

Then I read somewhere else: typical ionic silver products contain between 3 and 20 ppm of ionic silver which would not cause argyria. I have no idea how many ppms are in the CS that I am making, should I get one of those meters and brew all three batches until they all reach 15ppm? My friend also said you could drink gallons of this and it wouldn't cause argyria. A question that I want to ask here is, my method takes 45 minutes total for all 3 16 oz of water. Someone in the group told me it takes at least 12 hours to make 15ppm of CS, and I have read where people mentioned anywhere from 4 hours up to 24 hours.

About how long does it take to make a gallon of 15ppm CS?

I was also told while you have the rods in the water and the generator is on, you should see a white cloud kind of thing coming off of the rod, that this is the CS, I had also read that this is not colloidal silver, but the silver chloride. When I made my first batch of the three 16 oz, I did notice this white cloud, nothing showed when I made the 2nd or 3rd batch, but you can taste a very slight thing of metallic in the water. I have also heard the water should be clear, like water, then I've been told true CS is amber in color.

My main concern is I don't want to worry about coming out looking like a Smurf. My daughter is also making her own CS, under the instructions I gave her and using the generator (3 9v batteries) that we made for her. She had recently come down with a very bad sore throat, she's sure it was strep because of symptoms that she has had before. She had taken about 1/4 cup every four hours for three days and got rid of it, but along with getting rid of the throat issue, she was having the problems one gets with taking strong antibiotics and had eaten yogurt to correct that situation.

This is another question, I'm not sure if it was the CS that caused this problem, but how much CS should one take daily and do you need to take a break every once in awhile, or can you take it all the time without breaks?

I just want to make sure that how my daughter and I are making our CS that this isn't going to cause bad health issues or argyria later. Is what we are doing right, or does anything different need to be done? Thank you for your time in reading.

http://www.kitco.com/charts/CPM_silver.html

If you notice, it was not until 2000 that silver shows any appreciative use for Biocides. Can you elaborate on that? Did the medical world just catch on after 2000?

Oh, meant to tell you that the Bob Beck's blood purifier I recently purchased will also make Colloidal Silver, but I have yet to make any. As smart as I think I am, don't know why I have just learned of this brilliant man.

SJS, ======ORH=========

Also other people put it into drinking water. It inevitably turns grey. So that cannot be good.

Namaste, Om

Here's the "eyeball" method for guessing ppm.

Once you dilute freshly made cs but can still see the solution is very lightly cloudy...dilute three more times...until no visible cloud is present. The water solution looks clear. THAT is about 25 ppm.

Now I a looking at one just about $100, plug in with the rods. Can you tell me what to do about ppm? I have not done that before. Do I need to get a gadget?

Thank you very much.

Namaste, Om

You can buy a brand new unit generator for less than $100 which includes the silver strands. The units last forever. The first unit I have still is operational and the strands have lasted over 20 years. I make silver almost every month...also you can buy rolls of Silver Strand over the internet. I don't know how much a full roll would cost.

It might be cheaper simply to buy a new unit.

About the infection ... it seems you've described a more surface infection. If me, I'd add the colloidal silver as a poultice to his leg...on top of infection...I'd use a tablespoon of DMSO to help the six or seven tablespoons of CS to absorb. And the DMSO is anti inflammatory too. (Poultice; white cloth and saturate with two liquids...then apply to inflamed area.) If me I'd do this twice and after second application if improved would repeat twice daily for a week.

I have a question for you regarding my husband's health. He is diabetic, and developed a lymph edema on his legs. One of his legs got infected and doc said he has cellulitis, very red, burning and painful. They put him on IV antibiotic Vacomysin for 7 days and I started him on colloidal silver 3 tbs 3 times a day ( started last Friday and I bought this in the store Trace Minerals Brand 30 ppm ) After a couple of days he told me there is no pain, a bit red and no burning...after a while in the same day everything came back except the pain, subsided in half what was before. I add one tbs more every day. He finished Vacomysin, next day they put him on on another antibiotic IV...and now he is taking 7 tbs 3 times a day of this colloidal silver.

I want to know what dose I should give him? Am I doing something wrong, is that too much or too small for that kinda infection. I don't see much improvement with redness, it is really red and inflamed with a lit pain. At one point, we were so sure it started to get better and all of a sudden it got worse. Could you pls help me with advise/dose..? I really appreciate your time and thank you . As today he has almost no pain, but it still red, some sores and boils ...Doc said there is something different going on in his leg and they gonna send him to a vascular surgeon.

Allopathic med. is not very old and what took off so rapidly may take a nosedive soon. People's right of choice have been severely curtailed and their bodies are used for business.

Nor do we believe in the "blue man" story.

Bottomline is CS has been studied at Scandinavian universities and its efficacy is well established.

Looking forward to the day when disease management and business will be forgotten as there are wonderful discoveries that will be used mankind's benefit and true scientists will be safe and respected as they serve humanity without an eye on gross profit.

You have made an assumption that the article was written to "enchant" the reader. Having read Dave's posts, the article in question, and met him in person, I do not make the same assumption. Dave is an intelligent, well researched and caring man with a sincere desire to help others.

And actually, subjective does cut it. Just because something hasn't been "proven" by lab work does not mean that it is not true. You can read hundreds and hundreds of stories here at Earth Clinic that are "subjective" and have helped thousands of others. Sometimes we see tangible numbers. Blood pressure numbers lowering, fever reduced, etc, but the bottom line is really this; do people feel better?

Several years ago I took synthetic thyroid. My numbers improved but I felt worse. My doctor insisted that I was better. I chose alternatives I learned here at Earth Clinic and through other research and now feel well without my doctor's "help, " or his prescriptions.

I have learned a lot from Dave and am glad he gives of his time to post and help others.

Colloidal Silver Research

Obviously, it would appear that you are completely unaware of colloidal silver's beneficial effects on the body. So I hope the above research helps to increase your rather meager understanding and knowledge of how silver works its magic in the human body.

The other thing that strikes me about you is that you seem to be extraordinarily lazy. It's easy enough for you to tap in "Colloidal Silver health" or "Colloidal Silver anti-viral" into Google Search or PubMed and find out for yourself but even this seems to be beyond your effort for some unknown reason. Instead, you angrily demand that other people should explain it and do it all for you. This strikes me as astonishingly lazy or perhaps biased behaviour on your part -- I'll get to that later.

The reason so many people come to this website is usually because doctors and allopathic medicine and drugs have completely failed to cure their serious ailments. It's also pretty widely accepted that that the design of drugs nowadays for infectious, autoimmune and idiopathic diseases will only ever work to accommodate or manage the symptoms of their disease. So no actual cure in sight. Indeed, this seems to be the policy or Business Model for all the drugs companies now which appears to be far more important than actually curing anybody of any disease.

Why is this true? Because it is way more profitable for a patient (or should I more correctly say consumer?) to take drugs for the rest of his or her life than to take the drugs for only 3 months and then your cured and then you stop taking the drug.

Don't believe me? Watch this video:

Shane Ellison and the Drugs Industry

And here's the MSDS toxicity profile on colloidal silver by Science Labs.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation. Ingestion.
Toxicity to Animals:

LD50: Not available.

LC50: Not available.

Chronic Effects on Humans: Not available.

Other Toxic Effects on Humans: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.

Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not available.

Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:

May cause cancer based on animal data. However, at the time of this review, no studies were found on the possible
carcinogenic activity of silver compounds in humans.
Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause mechanical eye irritation. Inhalation: May
cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposures above TLV may result in acculmulation of silver in the body (argyria) Symptoms
may include a permanent blue-gray pigmentation of the skin, mucous membranes, and eyes. Ingestion: May be harmful if
swallowed. large doses may result in silver poisoning, which may show symptoms of gastroenteritis (gastrointestinal tract
irritation), spasms, vertigo, spasms, and skin discoloration. Prolonged or repeated inhalation, application, or ingestion of silver
compounds may cause a permanent bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, and may also affect blood, and
liver.

Now I confess to being somewhat astonished that there appears to have been no research whatsoever done or accepted in the above MSDS on animal or human toxicity but, despite that fact, under Special Remarks and Chronic Effects, there appears to be a huge risk to humans. So where's the toxicity evidence from research? I'm afraid that if there has been no toxicity research on CS quoted for animals or humans, then how can the MSDS come to such utterly dumb and misleading conclusions? So much for honest research.

Anyway, Goat of Truth, hopefully this will help you to more understand why people both come to websites like this and why they also like using colloidal silver. Because it works.

And if you just happen to be a doctor(as I suspect)...Well, let's just say that I know exactly where you're coming from and leave it at that.

It's amazing what people will believe by a talking head on the news or a well prepared short story.

Cite all your proof with how you got to your results of CS playing any part in your well being. How do you determine this without proper lab work? Subjective doesn't cut it.

Sorry so long in responding...

It is not too late to use CS and DMSO as a poultice. I'm of the opinion that the virus is still alive. If it goes a long time without being killed, and if this happens one might have nerve damage.

So to kill the virus, I use DMSO (google; Dr. Jacobs 60 minutes DMSO ... for a three part analysis).

Take six tablespoons of colloidal silver and mix 50/50 with the DMSO and let that soak into a white paper towel and apply to face at side where the Palsey is at work.

Hold for twenty minutes. Repeat a day later.

Nerve damage might be present but the cause will be eliminated. I also take AEP to help with nerve damage. To apply topically, I crush up three Calcium AEP tablets and apply two tablespoons of DMSO and two tablespoons to the AEP and make into a paste. Apply. The DMSO will carry the AEP into the effected area and in my opinion help rebuild the damaged nerve.

You can order the CS on the internet.

You can order good DMSO from Dr. Jacobs site. He has a lab that now sells it.

Please ask yourselves how advising people to use a remedy that has no known function in the human body is wise? Sure Silver kills bacteria, but so do antibiotics which are foreign substances and have to be detoxed and eliminated after doing their intended duty.

The same for Silver. Unfort people are not perfect at detoxing, so whatever it is it accumulates in weak cells, tissues, lymph, organs. Why this is Lost on people so intelligent about health has amazed me for decades, including Mike Adams.

You are recommending something UNNATURAL, not intended for use in the human body. Why not promote 10000 drugs as well then?

With all due respect, my questions for contributers who have used Colloidal Silver are simple:

1. Is there a recommended dietary amount of (colloidal) silver suggested for the human body?

2. Are substances that are foreign to the body regardless of their source required to be detoxed and eliminated?

3. If the body is not perfectly able to do so do these substances therefore accumulate in genetically weak areas first and cause stress, hidden from view unless one is able to determine the amount of silver toxicity one is accumulating. The extreme is of course the skin turning blue. Eating a lot of chlorella will not turn your skin green or accumulate in your cells or cause damage.

Silver for all its benefits is NOT native to US. To chose it therefore over 1000 other ways to build immunity is questionable. It is exactly the same conversation about choosing aspirin over white willow bark or in reality seeking the source of the issue to begin with. Immunity is in healthy elimination, healthy intestinal tract, healthy bacteria, healthy digestion, healthy assimilation, healthy circulation etc. Silver has what function building any of these aspects when it is not native to the body in the first place?

It is a crutch, ignoring the source of the issue and causing stress to those who use it based on what real ideology of natural healing? Especially from a site that purports to be based on "Natural Cures". There is, like in every other aspect of human existence individuals with economic interests in selling their wares. Take away that interest and ask simple direct questions and you will quickly get to the real story. Beyond that you simply have well meaning people that are doing harm without realizing it.

How you chose to proceed is of course up to you. I could be wrong, I hope so for all those that are using this substance in the name of natural healing.

Onward and best wishes, Doug

I am into week 7 of Bells Palsy with little improvement. Just found this site and am wondering if it is too late to try the remedy you mentioned? I am still a little confused as to how to go about applying this to the affected side of my face. Could you tell me how to mix the solution and where to quickly get what I need? Also, should I take the CS by mouth as well?

Thank you, Kathy

I read this article recently, I wonder whether this CS will work for Auto Immunity disease? My sister is suffering for the last few years.

Re Colloidal Silver and gut flora;

That is a questionable assertion...that is that CS destroys gut flora. Over the years I have not seen that to be true. Recently a PhD in Microscopy told me the reason CS seemed not to have an impact on "good bacteria" is that the electrical charge of good bacteria is positive and so is CS. Whereas damaging bacteria is negatively charged. So CS is attracted electrically to harmful bacteria and repelled by beneficial bacteria.

I don't assert that as true...I've just noticed that there seems to be no correlation between digestion issues for CS consumption and lower tract digestion...

Whereas, if I am on antibiotics...there most certainly is a problem. I KNOW there is a big problem as soon as the antibiotics start up. And I have to take a beneficial bacteria to rebuild the flora.

So I know (for me) from experience that CS seems NOT to effect the system like an antibiotic .... the idea that you assert.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has actual experience otherwise. Actual "here's what happened...every time I took the CS, my bowels went haywire, like when I take antibiotics."

In fact, I'd advise everyone to take extra beneficial bacteria/enzyme supplements...always helping the gut flora, whether that take CS or not.

Certainly, if one takes antibiotics gut flora must be rebuilt.

Again, I'd love to hear actual experiences of people who take CS and don't have gut issues but who know what gut flora problems are like from taking antibiotics...AND actual experience of people to take CS and DO have gut flora problems just like when they take antibiotics.

I've written about the gut flora issue before within the last six months but I don't think it was on this threat. (I wrote somewhere else on Earth Clinic.)

Now not to be misunderstood; I like April's question and everyone should consider using supplements of extra enzymes and beneficial bacteria if they encounter any flora problems that they associate with CS consumption; but as for me and those who I know take CS I just don't hear a flora problem relationship which is like the taking of antibiotics...Why?

I've wondered why for a long time and the possible answer is that the electrical charge of beneficial bacteria is the same as CS while the charge for most all harmful bacteria is negative.

Again; other's experience on the OBSERVED gut flora issue would be appreciated so we have a lot of input from folks who take CS...

The issue: Have you found from experience that taking CS harms your digestive tract activity like taking antibiotics?

Thank you April for your observations. If you could elaborate about your own experience that would help.

However! I found one aspect of this article to be extremely omissive and irresponsible. Silver destroys bacteria, harmful and beneficial alike. This means courses of silver destroy gut flora like any antibiotic would. Plentiful bacteria are absolutely one of the most crucial players in the health of our core immune systems, and mental state. I'm telling you people with compromised gut flora are connected with autism, schizophrenia, depression, inflammation, and all of the ills associated with that, including life-threatening disease. Flora is our internal ecosystem.. We cannot live without it. Please, please, please, if you are using silver at all, replenish with a variety of fermented foods and a broad-spectrum probiotic. Acidophilus alone is not enough.

Thank you for hearing my PSA.

You suggested CS in your post. Could you tell me how much and what brand, strength and dose etc. and where I could buy it.

I know you can make it, but I dont have enuf money to do that now.

I am still on psych meds, trazodone for sleep 100mg and gabapentin 250 for moods. I recently went down 50mg and felt much much worse, so I must proceed with great caution.

Please get back to me asap.

Thanks, Lileetha

RE: Your question/comment on Colloidal Silver and whether heavy use would help with Fibro.

You said you are going to try 5 times a week taking my posts saying I take a lot to be rid of fungi. Just my observation (if I had Fibromyalgia)...IF the Fibro were virally or fungus based, then five applications weekly would not be nearly enough to effect the condition.

I am now taking two tablespoons three times a day (on empty stomach) every day, and that regimen for likely six months. I USED to take CS five times a week to ward off virus build up, but that dosage was not enough to kill an established fungal infection I believe I have (seen via live cell microscopy) in my own blood. So if me, I don't think the five times a day will show an improvement (maybe small, and likely some increase in energy levels...and if you do get a general energy lift, then I'd KNOW the cause was very likely viral). An increase in energy tells me I'm on the right track. But again, for me... the level must be much greater to get rid of an established infection.

Also I take CS in about 200 ppm levels. But the ppm quantity may not be so vital as the constant presence of the Ag in the system. The issue is getting the CS throughout the system consistently 24 hours a day to overcome the virus especially when it duplicates. (Some viruses duplicate when "signaled" that it is opportune to do so. You can read all about the two basic viral duplication methods on line. Truly fascinating.)

And, you are right to suspect virus/fungus as the cause. You can google "fibromyalgia virus caused" and find some support for that theory. (Google "fungus caused" too.)

About how to make Colloidal Silver...I've written about the "how" many times but am happy to describe it again:

Get you a cheap CS maker on line...google "inexpensive colloidal silver generator" and you'll find some sources.

I do the "fast" method. The strands of silver go in warm water (90 degrees) and add ten grains of salt to give conductivity. Some CS purists refuse the grains of salt claiming that makes a different product. I reject that idea, but do your own research. I've done it the way I just described for 20 years.

Plug in unit, drop in silver strands and in four minutes (if batteries are new) you'll have your two cups of warm water permeated by a light cloud of silver atoms. Dilute again and again until the solution does not show any cloudiness. Nor can you taste the silver infusion.

Use as a sinus irrigation; an ear canal irrigation; a gargle; or just to drink if I believe I have an infection inside somewhere. For instance, if I see blood in my urine, I first drink extra CS on empty stomach for a few days to see if the CS does not kill the infection, before going off to have a biopsy done.

Write back for any clarification. I have seen over the decades hundreds of amazing results.

Well, Merry Christmas, fellow CS maker. I see you have been making your own CS longer than me! Your article was very informative especially the reference to Lindermann. What steps do you use to make your CS? I'd love to hear some of your anecdotal stories.

Dave

(Nice of you to call me an "expert" but I'm not. I have no special knowledge except by experience over 20 years and like tens of thousands of others, have the little 27 volt generator along with pure silver strands that make the Colloidal Silver. I've just seen again and again how effective it is on me and others who use CS.)

You ask 3 questions about CS.

I do make my own CS as the article stated. I usually dilute by 32 times...that is I keep diluting and diluting until the light cloud cannot be seen or tasted.

For children above 10 I have no opinion. I take on a regular basis (five times weekly) to enhance my body's ability to ward off infections or roving viruses.

As the body ages, we begin diminishing in ability for the immune system to adequately fight off infections, so after reaching the age of 50 (15 years ago) I began drinking a tablespoon four or five days a week.

And I apply CS topically to give myself sinus irrigations if I'm infected in nasal passages or if I have an ear infection.

Now, Tammy, it may be that it is all the other nutrients I take, but even though I am in my mid 60s, I feel as vigorous as when I was 40. But I more attribute my sense of health and vigor to just keeping out the viruses that (I believe) can accumulate with the reduction of immune system antibody production. I posited my "Viral Load Theory of Aging" in that article. There are lots of theories of aging. I have long been an advocate of the free radical theory of aging and so take antioxidants.

Why don't you consider purchasing your own CS generator? Easy to make using what I call the "fast" method. See the article. But if you Google "colloidal silver generator inexpensive" or whatever is close to that a number of sites will come up. There are two camps of CS makers...those who use the "slow" method where nothing is put into the water to make the process faster. I have nothing against that method and would love to see double blind studies that compare the two systems. It's just that I was taught the fast method 20 years ago and that's how I've made it and used it successfully all these years. I just haven't "messed" with what works...at least for me.

I too believe in the healing power of CS, however,? I don't make it myself.? What is the mm strength of your solution? and how much do you suggest for children ranging age 10 and up? Is the solution super easy to make and the "ingredient" readily available? Thanks sooo much.? I enjoyed reading your article. Best regards, Tammy

About the spinal stenosis issue.

CS can't help with that. There is a surgical procedure you can read about on line using laser that you might be interested in. Easy to google search. (laser spine institute) So sorry about your back issues but CS only helps where a virus is involved in my opinion; can't do anything about back issues.

And your other question about "correct" measurements; no science on that. The various manufacturers produce at differing ppm. You could buy different brands and see what works best for you.

Thanks for your comment. The best and sometimes most interesting "thoughts" of my life are about my grandparents. So much wisdom and folk remedies have been forgotten in the last one hundred years.

Regards, Dave

Thank you for commenting on Dec 3 EC Newsletter.

You ask about making your own CS. And it's a good idea to get the 27 volt battery generator...cost about 70 dollars bought on line. Google "economical colloidal silver generator" or words to that effect and you should find a reasonably priced CS maker. If you anticipate using a lot of CS then the purchase of a generator of your own is a wise investment. My original one I bought 20 years ago is still working. The thin silver strands are still producing CS all these years later. I've had to replace batteries 5 or 6 times but the silver strands last and last (because so LITTLE silver is being used) with each production. I just add twenty grains of sea salt to two cups of charcoal purified water...heated to 90 degrees. Insert silver strands plugged into the battery power of course and instantly you will see the cloud coming off the negative pole in the water. In four or five minutes the cups of water are saturated with a lovely cloud of "whitish" infiltration; that white cloud is silver atoms. Now, dilute in a large container until you can no longer see the presence of the silver and cannot taste any metallic. You have a few gallons of water at that point....but with silver atoms. That is what you use to kill viruses. That is CS.

Thank you. It certainly wouldn't hurt to apply colloidal silver to a "mystery disease" to test response. I notice that if a virus is at work, energy levels increase rapidly...within five days, often. Amazing. The rate of energy level increase obviously does not continue to rise at the same level over time, but that little "test" will give a good indication if the body is being relieved in the anti viral fight. So the clue tells one to continue with the program.

You ask where to buy CS: Health food stores; on line just Google Colloidal Silver and if you really get into the CS world consider purchasing the small units...less than 100 dollars. Google "colloidal silver generators for sale inexpensive" or words to that effect and any number of sites will give you price. I bought my latest one for 69 dollars. I make mine in seven minutes by adding 20 grains of salt for conductivity. There is another way to make it...slowly by not adding the salt. That takes 30 minutes or so. And the color differs. The fast method produces a white cloud. You dilute until the cloud is not visible and no metallic taste should be evident. The CS tastes just like water. Which it is except there is a bit of atoms of silver dispersed within. My dilution is about 32 dilutions. That is, if I have one cup of water with silver dispersed, I then dilute by 32 cups of purified water.

Fascinating article, especially your observation about sickness triggering autoimmune disease. Thanks!
