I've bought the silver gel from here:
http://thebreathoflife.net/herbalstore/catalog/silverwater.php
before, the most reasonable that I could find anywhere. It's only 3 ppm
gel and it does a bang up job. I still have a tiny bit in the 8 oz
bottle. That's the biggest size I could find also for the money paid.
I've used it for everything. Works great for bug bites, scratches, and
just about everything else under the sun. Including diaper rash. And
it's just the right size to stick in my purse to take with me when I go
to the grocery store and such to use as a hand sanitizer. I also smear a
bit in my nose and around my mouth before I expose myself to the hacking
coughing masses.
It stays put when you apply it, and spreads nicely on a band aid or
other bandage. It has a nice thickness to it. And it's colorless,
odorless. Does not leave a sticky residue, And even though that's a
decent price compared to the other stuff I've found, and it works very
well. I can still make my own cheaper. Oh and it was made with carbomer,
says so on the label.
If you make your own CS then the dilution would depend on the ppm CS
that you started out with. If you make your CS a little stronger the ppm
will be higher in your finished product.
And I have nothing to do with those folks except that I bought some of
their silver gel. I'm just saying that 3ppm, as low as that is, still
works quite well. It surprised me just how well it worked!

Scotty,
1 fluid oz of CS to 16 Tbsp (8 oz) of oil does not seem like a enough
CS? That is a 1:9 dilution?
A 1:9 dilution of 20ppm CS gives you an approximate 2.2 ppm
concentration of CS. Is that enough to do any good?
Thoughts,
Thanks,
SS

Do you want it to be natural or not? Gel or lotion? If not, use the
Carbomer 940. If so, use 1 fluid oz CS, 16tbsp oil (almond
preferably), citric acid (1tsp) or Citricidal (25 drops), 2tbsp
filtered beeswax, 5 drops essential oil for fragrance (if desired).
Melt beeswax at low temp, add oil, let heat for a few minutes, add
CS, stir until all is melted and emulsification will start,
turn heat down to simmer and continue to stir for 10 mins. No more,
no less. *Remember to stir or else you may get an oil "pop"*. Take
off heat, put in a glass or ceramic mixing bowl, add remaining
ingredients and use a hand mixer to "whip it". And whip it
good...lol! Pour the mixture into a container while still warm and
'voila' you have a great lotion! If you want it be more of a salve
add another tbsp of beeswax up front. Hope this helps. I've been
making this for the past year and it works great. It's a bit oily at
first but the skin loves it! Have fun and let me know if you have
any other questions.

Could anyone give me some ideas with making a colloidal silver
gel? I have been trying to use beeswax beads, coconut oil,
small amount of vit. E oil and colloidal silver gel. I am
having a hard time getting the oils and waxes to blend with the
silver water. It keeps separating, even when I bring it to a
very high temperature in a double broiler. Is there some sort
of natural agent that would break down the oils so that they can
mix with the water. When the "gel" sets up at the end, I have
a hard top of waxy stuff and then silver water liquid at the
bottom. I would love any ideas.
Thanks - Beth
