Appreciation and a giant THANK YOU to Art for his informative posts on the subject. We've been testing this ultrasonic humidifier delivery method for a few months now and it's very effective.

Yes, that is the dosage she told me she used as her loading dose. She said it was based on previous dosing studies that she had read in relation to her estimated blood content which she said for her is over 6 litres of blood. Her maintenance dose was significantly less. That loading dose equates to approximately 19 mg of silver per day. The amount of silver per day is important and sometimes when you talk in terms of parts per million it can get confusing because 1 litre of 20 ppm CS is equal to 20 mg of silver, but 500ml of 40 ppm is also equivalent to 20 mg as is 250 ml of 80 ppm. It seems simpler to me to say how much silver per day total as opposed to all of the potential ppm doses.
I've never seen a commercial colloidal silver manufacturer recommend that high of a dose and I doubt any of them ever would because for one thing, they would probably have to explain to the FDA why. That type of a dose is likely to be used to actively try and treat a health issue and not as a preventative, in my opinion and CS manufacturers can not say that CS treats any nealth issue period.......pretty much like supplement manufacturers who can not make health claims. Most supplements will have a dosing schedule that recommends one or two capsules a day, but many alternative sites will recommend much higher dosing to try an obtain a specific health effect.
An average sized adult in the 150 to 180 pound range will have a blood content of approximately 1.2 to 1.5 gallons or 4.5 to 5.7 litres. Larger people will have a larger blood content and smaller people will have less and the blood content can vary between a man and a woman of equal weight.

People who dose as this woman has are likely trying to reach a specific blood level of CS that has shown positive effects in the available studies. Unfortunatelly there are not any studies that I am aware of that specifically say that if you have exactly 5 litres of blood and you take X amount of 20 ppm CS you will achieve a blood level of Y, so this leaves consumers to try and figure it out for themselves based on the currently available studies. I asked this woman if she noticed any type of bad side effects from this dose and she told me no. She said the side effects she noticed were the positive ones like her knee pain reduction and the reduction of the lumps in her breasts.
If I get a chance to talk to her down the road, I will be very interested in finding out how it is or isn't working out for her, but for now she feels it is working well.

I can't say what a loading dose should be, but I can tell you what this woman told me she used. One quart of 20 ppm colloidal silver per day and then she went down to a maintenance dose. She said she will have to rethink her maintenance dose because she feels it may be too low for her. She mentioned that she was thinking that she may continue her regimen for at least two more months, but she said it will depend on what her doctor tells her at her next visit.
Hopefully I will be able to talk to her again so I can find out how it all works for her.

I have seen anecdotal reports suggesting that colloidal silver may offer some benefit for arthritis, but have never really spent any time looking into it because borax seems to be fairly effective for many people with arthritis. However, since borax is not effective for everyone with arthritis I thought that it might be a good idea to see what the available literature had to offer on the subject. This anecdote made me decide to look and see if there are any studies that might suggest that colloidal silver may be active against any type of arthritis. With that thought in mind, the first thing I found was an abstract of a rat study that suggested there is potential.......well at least in rats that have been dosed with Freund's adjuvant to induce arthritis like symptoms. Here is a link to that abstract and an article link that tend to confirm each other:

The following article suggests that colloidal silver plays a role in inhibition of angiogenesis and angiogenesis is a factor in terms of arthritis, so this is a different angle by which colloidal silver might be useful in controlling arthritis.

This recent article partially discusses the anti inflammatory qualities of colloidal silver.

While this is hardly conclusive evidence, it is at least a couple of steps in the right direction.

So I talked with this woman again and here is what she told me. She had started on colloidal silver and annona muricata (AM) because she had been diagnosed with a cyst on one kidney and a "mass" on the other kidney which her doctor told her may or may not be cancerous. They would need to do further testing to determine if it was cancerous or not.
Apparently it is the colloidal silver that is helping her knee because she started with a loading dose for two weeks and then went down to a maintenance dose. When she went down to the maintenance dose, her knee started to hurt a little bit, so she went all the way back to the loading dose and shortly after, her knee stopped hurting again. She has been taking the same dose of AM everday since she started.
Last week she went back to the doctor so they could see if the cyst or the mass had grown. The doctor called her this past Tuesday and told her that the mass had shrunk substantially and was now the size of a very small stone and the cyst had also shrunk very significantly. In any case, she is elated with these results and said she plans to continue with her protocol for at least two more months. I think she has been on this protocol for about 8 weeks now. Her doctor told her they are just going to monitor her for the time being .
One other thing she mentioned to me was that she had recently found lumps on her breasts as well as under her breasts and she said all of the lumps have also diminished or disappeared. She seems pretty happy with her results so far.
