Hi wonderful listers, The FAQ needs you!!
Here is a rough draft of how I intend to shape the FAQ. What I need desperately is for you to fill in the gaps by sending me your own little "testimonials" on how you have dealt with health situations in your life. Make up a name, compile your experiences, write up your neighbor's experiences -- it doesn't matter as long as you know it to have been true and effective. Include as much detail as you can about doseages, frequency of dose, storebought or homemade and approximate ppm or brand name. Please send in pet and animal treatments and descritions of household/ garden uses as well. Any feedback is welcome -- but most of all I need your stories. Please email to me directly so we don't clog up the list. I thank you in advance for your contributions -- and just remember what a help it will be to newbies to be able to go to this list for ideas of applications and support. Thanks you and take care, Katarina FAQ about CS uses. There are a multitude of uses for colloidal silver. This is a compilation of some of the ways in which list members have used colloidal silver. It is in no way to be taken as medical advice or advice of any sort, it is merely a list of the experiences of people on this list. You should always consult a health professional before imitating the actions of anyone on the list If you are interested in more details on any of these uses, go to the CS List archives at http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.htmland do a search for the topic you are interested in. After you have done a standard search also make sure to do a search in the body of posts as well. You will find a lot of useful information that way. Colloidal silver can be used for most situations in which one might need to kill bacteria, funguses or viruses. This includes, but is not limited to: Lyme disease,sinus infections, bronchial infections, skin problems of various sorts, Colds and flus, general immune system support, Aids, tooth and gum support,warts, candida, eye infections/irritations, food poisoning, etc. It is also useful for purifying water, disinfecting fruits and vegetables, a disinfectant for home canned foods, killing shower fungus, or fungus on plants, disinfecting cutting boards and almost any other household uses that one can think of. It is also useful for treating pets - do a search on whatever sort of pet for further info. Here is a list of ways in which members on this list have used CS. You will see that there are many different possible doseages and ways of using it vary from person to person. Again, remember, this is not advice of any sort, just a list of our experiences. Also, at the end is a list of things not to do with cs - in our experience. Colloidal Silver Experiences Sinus infections: Jane put CS in a pump nasal spray bottle, preferably a glass one as found in health food stores for other nasal preparations. Jane initially used Innovative Natural Products Extra Strength Colloidal silver, which is rated at 500ppm but is probably much lower. She sprayed this into her nostrils as often as she felt like during the day. Sometimes she would hang her head upside down after spraying to let the CS get into her frontal sinuses. She also took the same CS and held a dropperful on her tongue against the roof of her mouth until she could feel her sinuses beginning to tingle. She would then swallow or spit out that mouthful, depending on if she felt she had had enough cs in her system and didn't want more. She would repeat the process until she really felt her sinuses draining. Her sinus infection went away in 38 hrs. She later found that putting a few drops in her eyes helped in getting it into her sinuses. Two drops in each ear (not more or ears got clogged) also helped with the stuffiness in her ears. She now uses a mix of the extra strength from INP and her own homemade and it seems to work as well. Do a search under sinus for more information. Rosacea: Annie spritzed her face with 5 ppm homemade CS 3-4 times a day. The redness in her nose and cheeks was almost gone after six weeks as of this writing. Bronchitus: A number of members have used colloidal silver in a nebulizer with great success for bronchitus. Do a search under nebulizer and also under bronchitus for doseages and information on how to purchase or build a nebulizer. Lyme disease: can a lymey fill this in? General Immune support: Aids: Colds and flus: Warts: several people applied cs mixed with aloe with great success Tooth infection: Gum care: Here are a few things to always keep in mind if using CS. Do not add to bread dough to prevent mold, it will kill the yeast, and it wont rise. Do not dump into your compost heap, bacteria do the work. Do not give by mouth to cows, or other animals that have multiple stomachs, and do not use on hay or straw to be fed to these animals. They require microbes in their first stomach to digest their food. Same with honeybees. Do not give to anyone that has a pacemaker or defibrillator. Colloidal metals can short out these devices. Although it works great when added to the soil of house plants to prevent mold, there is some question about it killing the nitrogen fixing bacteria when added to garden soil. This needs to be explored. Otherwise it makes a great viracide and fungacide on plants and crops. Do not use CS as a treatment to an established aquarium, as it will *destroy* the biological filter made up of bacteria in the gravel and/or filter system. The resulting dump of metabolites *and* the rapid rise in contamination after the filter (literally) dies, will make the tank uninhabitable very quickly. Similar caution is observed with antibiotics commonly used to treat aquariums, so this is nothing unique to CS.
