Yeah it does work but it is not a silver bullet (pun intended) Pay
attention to those posts about the blue skin. Many people think that if
a little is good more is better. Colloidal silver only works when it
comes in direct contact with single celled organisms like bacteria.
Many viruses work by injecting thier DNA into a bacteria and hijacking
the cell for their own puposes and silver still kills them so to some
extent it is antivral as well. I don't think there is any use in
drinking the stuff and very small quantities atomised in the throat
seem to work very well. Also if the silver particles are larger than
50 nm they don't go through cell membranes rendering them useless for
the intended purpose and also increasing the potential for them to
build up in the body. This is why I don't buy silver colloid but make
my own so I know exactly what I have. I have analysed my colloid in a
chromatograph to guage the concentration of silver and I use current
regulation so the particle size does not increase through the process.
Unlike the poor fellow in the picture who has been using "silver
colloid' (what he actually had may have been a suspension) since 1999
and his skin is dark blue, I have been using it regularly during the
cold season which is rather lengthy in Canada since 1997 and my skin is
still as good as new (ladies take note). :)

Hi Joe,
I'm rapidily becoming a real believer in silver as well. Here in
Uruguay, there is an over the counter medicine called Coargental.
During the winter I use it whenevr a sinus infection or sore throat
kicks up. it's basically a silver compound in nose drop form. It
doesn't work all the time but then what does. I still get the flu and
such but not much else.

Right so you throw a chunk of silver in your cistern and put an
ozonizer or UV in the delivery line close to the point of use. I
learned how to make colloidal silver back around 1997 and it is amazing
stuff. I had a friend with a freshwater fish tank that was having
problems with fish dying from some bacteria or fungus. I told him
about silver and he threw a chunk of silver cut from a 1 oz bar into
the tank and that was the end of the problem. At home in my water
treatment system (yes I don't trust the municipality to get it right) I
have a combination of elements including a membrane, and UV
sterilizer. I noticed during maintenance that some of the filters in
the system downstream of the activated carbon (which removes the
chlorine) and upstream of the UV would get a clear slimy coating gowing
over the filter media over time. I threw a chunk of silver into the
housings and the slime never returned. A large cistern with a couple of
pure silver bars in it with just a hundred microamps flowing between
them should keep the water fresh. Making colloidal silver uses more
like 20 miliamps for a short period of time and you need to make sure
the silver is at least 99.9 % pure or better if possible. You need to
start with distilled water to avoid creating silver compounds
electrochemically. Use current regulation rather than voltage
regulation and the process is optimized by the addition of ultrasonic
energy to keep the nanoscale particles from adhering to the
electrodes.An old ultrasonic humidifier works well for this. Put water
in the transducer well and sit a mason jar into the well with your
distilled water in it. The ultrasonics couple right through the glass
of the jar into your forming colloid quite nicely. Afterwards although
the water won't look any different to the naked eye, the beam from a
laser pointer will be clearly visible in the water which will not be
the case in distilled or DI water. Adding just a few drops of the
colloid to a vase with cut flowers will keep the water from going
putrid until long after the flowers are gone. I had carnations in a
mason jar of tap water (chlorine removed) with a teaspoon of colloid
added, for over a month! Get a nasal sprayer and dump out the
addictive antihisamine crap, rinse it out and put silver colloid in.
Whenever a sore throat comes on at the first sign, spray the back of
the throat and nasal passages and conserve your energy while your
immune system gears up. This is better than drinking colloid which I
don't recommend and only uses a few drops per application which you do
as needed. I have done this countless times and the cold never develops
beyond a little throat irritation unless I am burning the candle at
both ends and not resting. Great stuff!
