Thanks so so much to everyone who responded to my post. I've been slow in getting back to you because this sinus infection has really flared up along with a miserable headache which has been slowing me down. So I made my first silver using the Beck's silver pulser. I used distilled water and I ran it for 20 minutes. It came out a very pale goldish color with a few black flecks floating in it - so I filtered it through a unbleached paper towel. Now, Mashall, you suggested 5-12ppm for nasal or topical. How would I know what PPm it is or does it not need to be that precise. James Vernon, you suggested distilled water at room temp with the rods 12 inch apart at 27 volts. I am not sure if the rods would be considered a half inch apart, they are in a sort of y which is about an inch apart at the bottom. Does that matter? I also forgot to stir it. Would that matter?
I put some in a pump nasal spray bottle. How often should I use it and how much? I've been doing a couple of sprays in each nostril three or four times a day. And I took about two ounces orally in AM and PM as well. Is that too much - or too little - and is it a good idea to do both orally and nasal? I felt a little better after the first sprays, but now about the same - of course it has only been 24 hrs. So maybe I should take more - but are there any risks from taking more and what would be the maximum dose to fight an infection? I read somewhere about the risk of turning blue from the silver if the particles are too large -- is there a way to know whether the particles would be too large if you are making it yourself. And how long does the silver keep? I imagine I will use it up pretty quickly, but am curious about shelf life. Anyhow, I really appreciate all the information - it has been very usefull.
