Colloidal Silver and EDTA
Posted by Tyler Vincent (Creston BC) on 09/01/2024
★★★★★

EDTA is a metal chelator, which binds with metals, and highly active against biofilms; it operates synergistically with colloidal silver. I add Di-Sodium EDTA to the electrolysis stage, by adding a pinch of Di-Sodium-EDTA. This speeds up silver generation up by an order of magnitude (with my device, 3 minutes VS 30 minutes without EDTA). When you compare the process of electrolysis in pure distilled water VS distilled water with EDTA, you will visibly see a major increase of electrolysis activity on the silver electrodes. Shake your device gently and you will see a stream of ions pouring off of the positive electrode.

The EDTA will drop its Di-sodium and bind with the silver ions and particles, stabilizing and capping the silver... and basically become Silver-EDTA. EDTA destroys biofilms. You will find plenty of literature on bacteria such as Pylori and Biofilms online. EDTA will pull a magnesium, a calcium, an iron, or zinc from the the biofilm (and even from the bacteria themselves) and drop silver particles/ions in its place... directly targeting and killing bacterial colonies.

With my device, at 4-5 minutes the water starts to become discolored as the particles start to become larger. You may as I have to space the electrodes further apart which helps prevent larger particle precipitation. But larger particles also have their benefits. I find the larger size more useful cleaning the mouth and preventing biofilms on teeth.

I would recommend using Di-Sodium-EDTA and not Calcium-Di-sodium-EDTA... to avoid possible contamination of your silver suspension with calcium. EDTA's highest affinity is for calcium after all, which may affect the electrolysis process; also, because Calcium-EDTA it is already bound to a calcium it will have less affinity to bind to calcium in the biofilms within the body. I would recommend consuming this on an empty stomach to avoid the EDTA binding with other metals in food particles. The 'Di-Sodium' in Di-Sodium-EDTA increases electrical conductivity allowing current to flow more easily between the electrodes.

There are medical bandages that combine EDTA and colloidal silver to enhance the healing process. Silver-EDTA combo is also used by dentists for sterilizing root canals. Using this simple process, you can make an oral vesion easily and at home.

How much to add? My generator makes make about 6.6-7 oz of colloidal-silver. This requires only a pinch of EDTA to be effective. Depending on the quantity of water in your generator, may require more or less. Once it starts turning subtly black, you are precipitating larger nano particles rather than silver ions. To prevent that, cut the electrolysis time shorter. Experiment and see what works for you. I use bulk supplements di-sodium edta, for its great price.

I make my own Colloidal Silver & it's awesome for chest & Sinus Infections

I purchased my generator from thesilveredge.com, and they have instructions on how to use it daily as it's only 8-10ppm, and the smaller the ppm, the better it gets into your cells. I even use it with my dog's allergies. If I get start to feel bad I increase the dosage. I've even put it into glass nasal spray bottles and use 2 squirts each nostril twice daily if my allergies are bad...Love this wonderful product.

Hello Dvavn. Please always remember, there is NO MONEY to be made from healthy people! Look up the Flexner Report. Holistic medicine (natural healing) was replaced with petro-chemical based drugs. You should also note that these new drugs treat only symptoms, but NOT the condition. Again, there's no profit in curing, but treating a "condition" for years, heck yeah!! Cha-ching cha-ching!!

My. wife is in Yuma region Medical Center a huge, beautiful hospital due to an injury on her foot and a serious infection. Today they cleaned the wound and applied a a patch which contained colloidal silver directly to the wound. Now that amazes me for around 30-40 years I used colloidal silver. Recently I went online to WEBMD and read a review where they said that there is no substantial evident that colloidal silver works. Ain't that interesting?

Colloidal Silver and MRI
Posted by Art (California) on 05/25/2024 2326 posts

Hi Dvan,

The MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of different organs of the body.

Colloidal silver is made using silver. Silver is a non magnetic metal, so the strong magnetic fields of the MRI are not a problem in this instance where silver is only at nanogram levels in the body.

Dear Dvan34,

Using colloidal silver in the ear, or orally for that matter, will not cause any trouble with the MRI. The particles are minute and will be absorbed by the body. If you would like to err on the side of caution, you could avoid them a day before the MRI.

You might consider using castor oil for the tumor. It is helpful for reducing growths. You could massage a drop of oil behind the ear daily. It will not hurt and it could help.

Hopefully someone can answer my question. My wife has an acoustic neuroma, which has restricted hearing in her right ear. It is possible that it is also causing Vertigo attacks which have resulted in two serious falls. Recently, we had Proton Therapy in San Diego. In two months they intend to perform an MRI. I just received Colloidal Silver from Earth Clinic intending to try 3 drops daily in her ear and see if it can stop the Vertigo and perhaps attend to the acoustic neuroma. Would the Colloidal Silver cause any problems with the MRI?

Sota Instruments in Canada just had a colloidal silver video removed from YouTube.

It was called “SOTA Silver Pulser – What Should Ionic-Colloidal Silver Look Like?” and had the warning: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube's community standards.”

I'm wondering if the various global agencies are starting small (a few videos at a time) because they don't want a public outcry if all the videos were removed at the same time.

With the impending Disease X (?! ) getting more and more attention lately, agencies will be trying it make it even more difficult for people to take charge of their own health.

Well, I have looked into this to see if I could find any info about this. The only thing I could find was a memo from the FDA talking about cracking down on non-medical advice. Also in Canada they are looking at cracking down on the supplement industry using the same method.

So I assume someone somewhere forced the hand of google, youtube, and other social media orgs to gently remove this kind of content.

I mean, we all know that 'they' want us all to rely on the medical establishment and the corresponding medication that goes along with it!

Scalp Flaking, Chest Congestion
Posted by Ms B (Houston) on 11/25/2023

I know there are many aspects to being or becoming healthy. The journey with me was a discovery of a Colloidal Silver shampoo and a Colloidal Silver Conditioner as I searched for the answer to my severe scalp flakiness. All the over the counter preparations with zinc as its active ingredient only worked for 1 day. I became grateful that I was able to wear head caps during the pandemic. Then, one day, as I perused through the online service, I got this nudge as I came across the colloidal hair products and said “why not I've tried everything else” and bought some to try. I've never seen so much improvement from the first wash, no more flakes, hair has become more softer, fuller and manageable…….made me a HAPPY CAMPER and I haven't looked back since 09/2023!!!! So being so pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the hair, I've since ordered the Colloidal Silver liquid for the persistent chest congestion that was labeled as bronchitis and non responding to the prescribed treatment which made it a recurring situation along with an ear infection that took 1 year to get an appt so the doctor could even look into my ear. Last time they looked into the canal, they said “it looked mushy in the canal ” but I couldn't hear out of the ear. After being reffered for getting hearing aids…..I followed that nudge again and found the Colloidal Silver products. …”why not, the other colloidal products worked real well” and I tried that too. I'm so happy I followed the nudge because now I can take a deep breath in without having any audible lung sounds and the cough is gone as well. My ear has gotten where I can hear better out of it now and it no longer feels hot or clogged up.

I AM SO GRATEFUL for the journey to this path of wellness and want to thank you for your work!

Lisa,

I am taking many of those supplements and currently upping my dose of iodine. That is going well. I do not have zeolite but Dr. Klinghardt has a good quality one that I can order. I take oregano oil and "on guard" together and have never had much luck even though I took a pretty good dose. I wonder if I needed to do a longer time period. Iodine seems to do more. I will check out lufenuron for mold. That's one area I have ignored; just always dealt with candida. Took ivermectin and saw little there. I just ordered fenbendazole as my friend had good success with it and no side effects. I also take Diatemaceous earth and clay. Thanks so much for your suggestions. It is really appreciated!

You might try adding a small amount of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide to the cs. It will increase its effectiveness exponentially.

Also kefir kombucha and cultures vegetables are the best at working to eliminate a strong bad bacterial or viral infection.

Lugols iodine protocol daily will significantly increase the immune systems ability to eliminate problematic infections, both viral and bacterial. Iodine is absolutely essential for a strong body and immune system.

Hourly vit c consumption will support the immune system and the building up of the bodies health as well as elimination of infections. Imtaking it by IV would be even better.

Hope you heal. We were designed to heal.

I have had similar issues. So far the BEST thing I have tried for heavy metal detox and also works for most chemical detoxing including mold toxins is Zeolite. I take a tablespoon of the powder using only the 20um or less size. mix with water and drink it down - no taste and mixes fast with water. I repeat as needed, sometimes every hour if feeling bad. I bought it on amazon but not sure if they still carry it. for infections the BEST thing I have found is oregano oil capsules, I take a handful when needed and repeat as often as needed. I also take high dose Iodine for F and Br detoxing, I am now taking 5 grams a day, but it took 6 months to get up to that dose. and of course I also take other supplements, high dose thiamine, b vits, taurine, chondrotin, lipoic acid, NAC, vit D and mk7, Ca, Mg, K and other minerals, all on high doses. for parasites I take Ivermectin 12g, and Nitazoxanide and for fungal issues I take lufenuron . Check out what appeals to you, and be inspired. Good luck on your quest for health.

Hi Lisa,

I have used Nano Silver which I make myself and I drink 1 and a half glasses a day. I got up to 4 glasses a day at one point. I suffer from mold toxicity and fibromyalgia and found this moved the fibro out of my body. I took a year long break and found it came back up recently so started back on a glass and a half and it went away almost immediately. It would be too hard to do this protocol if you have to buy it but making it only costs the price of 5 liters of distilled water. There is a website called www.thenaturalhealthlibrary.com and they have specific information on drinking colloidal silver and testimonials of how it's helped people. They also have a facebook group.

I have also just started on Lumbrokinase, which is an enzyme that completely digests biofilm so long term I'm hoping for a complete cure of everything.

Consider your overall diet/environment, too. If you are chronically poisoned with impure water, toxic air, etc. it may be compounding your difficulties. Arsenic, for example, produces all the symptoms of diabetes - chelating the arsenic resolves the symptoms. Garlic has been shown to chelate arsenic. Tobacco may be contaminated with arsenic due to the way it is grown. Best wishes

Bill,

I am glad to receive this information. I already have many of these supplements but just take in varying doses. The humic acid sounds good because of the redistribution issue.

I need a protocol that can also help with infection; every heavy metal detox I have done has brought about bacterial infection. I have done coriander in salad and had a detox just from that. For this reason, the iodine seems like the best approach, however both of my functional med docs are either not schooled in it or are wary because of my Hashimoto's. But, in my mind, my body is not being supported in the detox and I think iodine would take care of infection. I currently nebulize 2 drops in hydrogen peroxide for my lung infection and then 1 drop in my nose nebulizer for my sinus issues of 2% Lugols, a few times a day. Looking at the doc list in your links, there is one 30 minutes from me, so I will call on Monday!

Because of infection, I have been using MMS (Chlorine Dioxide), and also because it is a mild chelator, and antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal, etc. And it has worked fairly well, but requires a good deal of discipline to take every hour. It took care of an ear infection I have had for years. But after a year, I should be doing very well, but I am not. So I have been thinking I am missing something. Maybe parasites. I have had them before.

Let me know your thoughts. Thank you for your response. I always enjoy reading your posts.

Hi Madelyn,

I always use Ted's standard protocol for supplementing humic acid. His method is to add 2 or 3 drops of 10% Sodium Thiosulfate to a glass of water(which helps to neutralize any chlorine) then, as Ted describes it, you should add a small amount of the granular humic to the water that would fill the inside of the letter 'o'(at 12 point size).This should give you the proper golden colored liquid that you can then drink.

Just to also say that I never ever use pre-made liquid humic acid. I prefer to make up my own brew because it's usually much cheaper that way.

Hi Deirdre,

To answer your question, no she is no longer on CS. She went from a quart down to a 500 ml/day maintenance dose and her cyst, lumps and mass went away shortly after I wrote that. Shortly after those were gone, she stopped the annona muricata/graviola as well as the colloidal silver. She never mentioned her knee again so I don't know how she is doing on that front, but the cyst, lumps and mass never came back.

Bacterial Resistance to Colloidal Silver

Hi Lisa,

There are many useful ways to detox and remove heavy metals from your body.

Supplementing Selenium(@200mcg with meals twice a day) + Acetyl Cysteine(@600mgs with meals twice a day) + Milk Thistle(1000mgs with meals twice a day) + Alpha Lipoic Acid(@600mgs with meals twice a day) is one of the best protocols for heavy metal detox AND poison removal from the body.

Using Ted from Bangkok's advice, another really easy and efficient way of removing heavy metals is to just add a handful of fresh coriander leaves to your hot food or salad 3 or 4 times a week. Ted has said that if you follow this protocol then you should be able to get rid of all heavy metals from your body within a month.

And another one of Ted's recommended heavy metal detox protocols is to take humic/fulvic acid(aka shilajit) once or twice a day both morning and evening outside mealtimes. You should always buy the granular form of humic acid, which works quite well. In the past I've simply used a cheaper veterinary product that is widely available online -- called Humic Vet -- as my primary granular humic/fulvic acid source which has worked well for me. The way I take it is to add 1/8 teaspoon sea salt to a full glass of water. Then I add 3 drops of 10% Sodium Thiosulfate solution to remove any chlorine from the water and then I would add 3 to 5 granules of the humic/fulvic acid to achieve the light golden color that is always required. This humic acid mix is not only useful for removing heavy metals from the body, it is also a strong all-round antiviral as well. This humic acid protocol is also the safest protocol for detoxing because the heavy metals become trapped in molecular "cages", which will eventually be excreted normally and safely from the intestines I.e. the dangerous redistribution of the heavy metals in the body never happens. So, if think that you are chock-a-block full of heavy metals, this humic acid protocol is very safe because it has the fewest side-effects.

As for me, my favorite detox has always been to supplement 8 drops or more of 5% Lugols Iodine(LI) every day, either in a single dose or in split doses. Lugol's Iodine will act to chelate and remove cadmium, lead, aluminum, mercury, bromine and fluoride from the body. Also remember that LI is an efficient pathogen killer -- LI kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungus, mycobacterium, mycoplasma and parasites. LI acts both to strongly support the immune system and also acts by directly killing the pathogens as well. If truth be told, Lugol's Iodine hugely benefits your body in many other ways as well. And if you decide to take this protocol, please don't forget to take all the recommended Lugol's Iodine companion nutrients as well.

There are several other heavy metal chelators that you could also use like Sodium Thiosulfate or Tetrasodium EDTA. It really depends on what your needs are.

I am currently taking an antibiotic for bronchitis and am using silver to boost it, so I think there is still efficacy there. I have had testing for heavy metals and it was extremely high for mercury, arsenic, lead and others in that order. Also, candida, of course. I do take melatonin, around 50-60 mg each night, time-release. I have considered going much higher, but didn't realize it was naturally chelating, so that is an incentive to do that.

Thank you for your response.

Bacterial Resistance to Colloidal Silver
Posted by Art (California) on 10/25/2023 2326 posts

Lisa,

Thank you for the reminder that bacteria can develop resistance to colloidal silver(CS) with everyday use of CS. The problem is also compounded when a sub optimal dose of CS is used that is too weak to kill the intended pathogen. This allows some of the bacteria to survive and the surviving bacteria can become more resistant to CS. That is why I look at CS similarly to an antibiotic, antiviral or antifungal. Repeatedly using a dose that is too low to kill the pathogen can quickly cause an increase in resistance of that pathogen to the treatment.

I realize that some people like to take 10 or 20 ppm CS at teaspoon dosing daily thinking that it will ward off getting sick, but that option can ultimately work against you in the long run.

In terms of resistance, CS when combined with certain antibiotics that a pathogen has developed resistance to, has shown the ability to improve the effectiveness of those antibiotics again.

I think silver is best used only when actually needed to fight a pathogen and not so much as a preventative.

Lisa, on a related note, melatonin has shown benefit in reducing negative effects of heavy metals and also has shown a chelating effect for some heavy metals as discussed here :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9855431/

Here is a relevant quote from this very interesting study :

' There are several mechanisms by which heavy metals induce cellular toxicity, but the main mechanism is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause cellular oxidative damage [4]. Melatonin is highly effective in reducing such oxidative stress, as proven in a large number of reports. Its protective actions are the result of several means: the direct detoxification of ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), the stimulation of antioxidant enzymes, and the suppression of other free-radical-generating enzymes. Additionally, melatonin also chelates transition metals, which are involved in the Fenton/Haber–Weiss reactions; due to its metal-chelating ability, melatonin reduces the formation of the highly reactive hydroxyl radical (•OH), which probably accounts for more than 50% of the oxidative stress that cells sustain [5]. Evidence shows that melatonin reacts with a number of metal ions, resulting in the formation of stable metal complexes. For example, using absorption voltammetry as a means of evaluation, it has been shown that melatonin, in proportion to its concentration, binds several heavy metals, including aluminum, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, and zinc, similar to metallothionein [6]. Melatonin chelates both iron (III) and iron (II), participating in the Fenton reaction to generate •OH. Melatonin is able to restore the biological activity of hemoglobin by acting on highly covalent iron and transforming it into iron (III), and it also reduces •OH, which is highly toxic.'

In my opinion, if heavy metal toxicity is suspected, but testing for heavy metals is not a viable option, melatonin would be worth considering as an overall protectant against toxicity from multiple heavy metals.

Bacterial Resistance to Colloidal Silver
Posted by Lisa (Jax) on 10/25/2023

I wanted to comment on an older post about developing bacterial resistance to Colloidal silver (CS) (from Art). I have had recurring infections for 15 years due to heavy metals, autoimmune and most likely parasites. So during this time, I relied on CS, using Sovereign Silver and Mesosilver because antibiotics had become less effective and had affected my bowels. Both worked well, but I had to keep increasing the dose after a couple of years.I began with 7-10 teaspoons a day, then went to tablespoons. After about 13 years, neither worked well, so I tried coated silver by Cymbiotika. This is the very strong silver which is 60,000 mcg per drop and I took the max dose of 5 drops, and it worked great for 5 months, then stopped. All of this time, I had been trying to chelate and work on health issues and have not been able to stabilize the infections in order to get well.

My point is that I would agree with Art that taking silver every day is not a good idea. Take it when you need it. I now have no fallback now except antibiotics. Use other supplements or dietary changes to work on your health. It may be that there is another silver I can use or increase the amount, but most likely there is another health issue I am missing.

I am doing all of the right things, diet-wise, have infusions of glutathione, and C twice a month, ozone treatments occasionally. Looking at iodine again. I will do a parasite cleanse again, this time using Fenbendazole and hope this will lessen the toxic load.

We have been making CS by the gallon, and just recently watched the Earth Clinic videos on how to make it. We do everything as directed, check the ppm with a TDS meter. We use the electrolyte solution and the reducing agent to get the CS. We get the correct color of the CS. The CS will drop in ppms dramatically as it sits overnight, say from 18ppm down to 5ppm, though. Has it lost potency, or is there a different gauge or meter that we need to test the potency of our CS?

I used to use colloidal silver for colds, flu and to cure UTIs (I cath)... but I found that chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) is much stronger and more effective... cured a nasty UTI in 2 days.

Dr. Kalcker is the expert, if you are interested in finding out more.

Coughing And Choking At Night
Posted by Art (California) on 02/24/2023 2326 posts

A friend recently asked me about an issue he was having where when he would try to go to sleep, it felt like mucus was some how leaking down to his throat and it would wake him up either coughing or choking and he said this had been happening for more than a year and it was not allowing him to get good sleep. He also told me that he could only lay on his right side to get some semblance of relief. He said that if he slept on his back or left side, he would cough and choke frequently, which would wake him up every time. He also told me that if he swallowed shortly after laying down, the situation seemed to be worse.

I told him it might be a sinus infection of some type and suggested colloidal silver might help if it is an infection. I gave him two, 2 ounce spray bottles of 20 ppm colloidal silver so he could try it out. He started using it right away at 3 times per day with two sprays in each nostril for a total of 12 sprays per day. He told me that that was similar dosing to some nasal sprays he had tried so he would use the CS in a similar manner.

I recently saw him and asked if the silver had helped him. He didn't answer me right away and looked like he was thinking about it. He finally answered with a yes. He said he hadn't even thought about it lately, but realized he could now sleep in all three positions with no coughing or choking. He said it must have gone away very gradually because he hadn't even realized that the problem was gone!

Not the most severe health issue by any means, but I love a happy ending!

Colloidal Silver for INFECTION A MUST

Colloidal Silver is the way to go for antibiotic...it works like you would not believe. Silver has been around for hundreds of years...I brew my own and just put it in their water and boom! If you really want to know more and proof........... go to cgcsforum.org... that is where the facts are.

EC: Hello, are you referring to infection in your pets? Please provide a bit more info if you read this. Thanks.


Chronic Cough
Posted by Art (California) on 10/13/2022 2326 posts

I was recently talking with a friend who was relating how after he got over Covid-19 in 5 days, developed a strange cough where he didn't cough much, but when he would talk, he would get spasms that made him cough and also made it impossible to continue talking. He told me he had the cough for over 2.5 months and it was getting worse instead of better, because now his voice had become hoarse and he had more phlegm that was getting darker.

I had previously given him a bottle of colloidal silver (CS) to test for another health issue, so he decided to use the leftover CS in his cold process vaporizer and inhale directly from the output port of the vaporizer for 10 minutes, three times per day for a total of 30 minutes per day. He told me he replaced the CS in the vaporizer with new CS after each use and he did this for 3 days in a row and by the third day his cough started to diminish and was gone by the 5th or 6th day, but he only used the CS for the first three days.

He was very happy with the results and said he still had some CS left over which he was going to save until needed again. I told him that I was a little surprised that he was able to recover from such a long standing cough so quickly, but I was happy to hear it! He told me that before he used the CS, he would not have been able to have this conversation with me as all of the talking would have had him coughing up a storm.

I'm sorry for your loss. Could it be possible that the disease itself, Sars Cov2, had something to do with your loved one's getting very sick?

Things like colloidal silver are great and they have a place in health-promoting practices but so does eating right and looking at the science of various practices. A great pulmonary doctor breaks down the role that coronaviruses play in lung health. Dr. Roger Seheult runs Medcram. Check it out. There's lots of material where he goes through the science of it. He also advocates for certain supplements to help lung health like NAC, Vitamin D, and Zinc.


Best Reducing Agent for CS
Posted by Art (California) on 06/19/2022 2326 posts

Tammy O, I use the light/colorless Karo Syrup as my reducing agent. I dilute it 50% with vodka instead of distilled water because water and Karo can form some type of mold in a month or less and I do not want to risk contaminating my batches. Pure Karo does not form mold and substituting vodka for distilled water in the Karo also will not develop mold. The vodka or water is used to thin the Karo Syrup so it is easy to measure out drops of the reducing agent to make AgNPs from Ag+.

Best Reducing Agent for CS

Hi Tammy,

Great question! I have used both and they seemed about the same. However, now I use 1/2 teaspoon of Maltodextrin per liter as my reducing agent and can highly recommend it instead as corn syrup can go bad unless you preserve it with vodka in the solution.

Perhaps Art can chime in with which corn syrup he has used over the past 20 years!

Hello. Deirdre was explaining how to make true colloidal silver using corn syrup. She didn't say if it was regular corn syrup or light corn syrup. Although it is a light color, I want to confirm. Thank you.

Aromatherapy Diffuser Vs. Vaporizer

Since the silver is a metal solid suspended in water, I don't think this would work in said device. Likely, the H2O would vaporize, leaving the silver particles behind.
There are certain nebulizers that have been used to achieve your goal, although I can't vouch for any personally I'm afraid.

I would look into Sovereign Silver. They have a lot of available testing for you to look at and decide if it's for you. I've used their topical product with success in what I intended it for (curb dandruff under facial hair).

The hospital administrator(s) and board members are the ones who accept the protocol and flow down to everyone else. Then docs have carte blanche on whether you live or die. Just because you have Power of Attorney they do not have to honor that even under EUA. Just WOW.

I have only found one documented case of someone losing their life to cv that did not go to the hospital. All points to hospitals using deadly protocols killing people not cv19.

Profit over patients to the tune of up to $500,000 per cv19 death. Sickest thing I've ever heard of from our own gov't and hospitals we are supposed to trust with "saving" our lives.

File lawsuits against hospital, doctors, nurses, all involved. Place a complaint against the hospital admin's bond. They will most likely could lose their job if a complaint against their bond is filed.

Morgan & Morgan law firm has many client suites against all the above including Pfizer, Moderna, ect.

My father in law was also killed the same way. Age 65. He went into the hospital for oxygen. He was very sick with COVID but in otherwise good health. He called everyone from the hospital after he received oxygen and said he was feeling better. The next thing we know he's put onto the hospital's COVID treatment conveyor belt- meds, induced coma /paralysis drugs, ventilator. After 30 days they pressured the family to pull the plug. He died right away after that.

I thought it was interesting from way back on the benefits of CS. I have been researching for months now on CS as I've never heard of it until joining EC. So, thank you to everyone!

I have had 3 family members killed by the deadly hospital cv19 protocol. All 3 went to ER for O2 support and signed papers to be admitted thru scare tactics by pharma rats provided "the lines" to be used by CDC guidelines to the docs. It is EUA euthanasia IMO. Kidnap and kill with 30+ bags of unproven drugs to include overtreatment of O2 which we know causes brain swelling, blood clots to the brain and blown lungs. They essentially are drowning the patient in poison inside the body and call it death from cv19 complications/cv pneumonia. Criminal and somehow still legal after more than 2 yrs with nothing changing with inhospital protocols, same playbook.

I could go on and on.

Very interesting article on colloidal silver, Betty, especially at that time(2008).

I don't agree with all that they say and current studies tend to disagree with some of the information also, but overall, very progressive CS article for 2008.

I once saw CS keep a person with HIV healthy for two years until they were able to get insurance to cover their meds. It clearly destroys SARS CoV-2. If doctors would nebulize their Covid-19 patients in the hospital with Covid Pneumonia, I think they would see much better outcomes in those patients. Oral CS only goes where the blood goes so nebulizing for the lungs is the only way it will help.

CS has tons of potential, but serious human studies are lacking and that leaves us to our own devices to figure out the best ways to utilize it.

Topical Application of Colloidal Silver for Herpes

I used a $30 bottle of colloidal silver from my local pharmacy with great success. I caught herpes from my first partner and it was unfortunately recurrent plus it began to worsen over the past five years. I am amazed at how effective this is. After all that money wasted on useless medication and stress over the condition, all it took was a month of topical application and I haven't had a symptom since. I highly recommend!


Best Brands of Colloidal Silver
Posted by John (Ontario) on 12/02/2021

IMPORTANT NEW PUBLICATION: Comparative Analysis of Commercial Colloidal Silver Products. “The results of this evaluation show clearly that 10 of 14 of the most popular colloidal silver products purchased from Amazon were evaluated and found to contain only ionic silver. Despite the evidence showing that silver nanoparticles are not present, eight of these products are promoted by the manufacturers as “colloidal silver”. Considering the extensive scientific research showing major differences between silver ionic and silver nanoparticles in terms of mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety, it is clear that this misrepresentation impacts the consumers and must be addressed”. There is no mention of Zeta Potential which is likely non-existent here. This is just a bunch of silver filings.

If I understand this study correctly, regarding the brands, if you read more closely, the 4 pictured clear then yellow are IONIC, not truly colloidal, therefore I would agree with the commenter who is impressed with the last product in the lineup.

Hello Deanna,

This link is to a true colloidal silver AgNPs that are a very high concentration (> 19,000 ppm) that takes only drops that can be diluted down to 20 ppm. In a study which I previously posted on EC, this product when analyzed had a very narrow particle size spread of just 2 nm that was right at the best part of the optimal range of particles for the least amount of damage to normal human cells while being a very effective pathogen neutralizer. Here is a link to the study :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7765683/

Here is a link to the specific product which showed high quality standards along with almost ideal particle size:

https://coatedsilver.com/

This is true colloidal silver AgNPs, not colorless ionic silver and is a very dark brown in color because of the ultra high concentration of silver nanoparticles. It is expensive, but when compared to a MesoSilver Carboy (5-gallons) that is supposedly heavily discounted, the coated silver product is significantly less expensive.
