I found this below. I know as a newbie to the use of CS it answers many
questions I have/had. I hope it will help others. Starts below my signature
line. There is also a synopsis on how they make their CS using 10,000volts
experts may want to read this.

COLLOIDAL SILVER
Colloidal Silver is a near perfect antibiotic. Just about every known
pathogenic germ, bacteria, virus or fungus, will die within six minutes
of contact with colloidal silver. In addition, there are no known bad side
effects from using colloidal silver. Silver can be used topically or
internally.
For burns or sores that may be infected, use a bandage to keep a cotton
ball soaked in colloidal silver on the wound. That approach will also help
with warts.
Women suffering with a vaginal yeast infection can use 1 Tablespoon of
colloidal silver mixed in with 8 oz. of water as a douche solution for almost
immediate results.
For infectious diseases, colloidal silver can be taken internally either
straight
or mixed with liquid or other preference. If you are dealing with an existing
infectious condition, you may want to take 1 tablespoon of colloidal silver
three times a day. AS the condition improves you can reduce dosage to two
tablespoons a day and then reduce to once a day.
For general protection form colds, flu and other infectious diseases, a daily
dose of one tablespoon is recommended. Only increase dosage if a condition
develops in spite of the normal daily dosage. Call if you have any question or
want to discuss treatment of some particular situation.
How Our Colloidal Silver is Made
The Physics of it.
We make colloidal silver in half-gallon batches using a 10,000-volt A/C
transformer. A bar of 99.99% pure silver is suspended from one electrode into
steam distilled water. A small piece of 99.99% pure silver wire is suspended
form the other electrode just above the water. The process is very similar to
that used to electroplate a precious metal onto an object except that
the absence of a receiving object at another electrode causes the silver to
remain in a colloidal suspension in the water.
On one cycle, high voltage electricity flows through the bar and tiny particles
of pure silver are separated from the bar and attempt to make their way to
the other electrode. Since the wire is suspended above the water the silver
cannot make its' way to the electrode and remains in a colloidal suspension
in the water. On the other cycle, electricity flows through the wire suspended
above the water and a blue arc of electricity is created between the wire and
the water. This is a null cycle and no silver is added to the water. The
extreme
heat of the arc slowly vaporizes the silver from the tip of the wire and
eventually the wire needs to be replaced.
The Rediscovery of a Super Antibiotic
Research has shown that colloidal silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic and
preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, colloidal silver has
been
shown to disable the enzyme that single celled bacteria, viruses and fungi
need to metabolize oxygen. They suffocate without corresponding harm
occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result
is the destruction of disease causing organisms in the body and in food.
Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938 when the medical profession
turned its' attention to pharmaceutical drugs.
Early Research
At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body's most
important fluids are colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles.
Blood,
for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led to
studies
with colloidal silver. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was used by physicians
as a
mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite "high-tech".
Production methods, however, were costly. Then the pharmaceutical industry
moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside in favor of fast working,
more toxic and potentially dangerous drugs.
Contemporary Studies
While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs in the late
1970s, Robert O. Becker, MD., author of The Body Electric, discovered that
silver ions promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria. The march
1978 issue of Science Digest, in an article, "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter,"
reported: "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder
of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different
disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to
develop.
Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic." The article ended with a quote by
Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked
with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's
Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ
fighter we have."
How It Works
The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other
single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical
lung, so to speak. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies,
and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination
systems. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes,
colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically
different from the enzymes of primitive singe-celled life. Thus colloidal
silver
is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living
matter.
Product Quality
Many brands of colloidal silver are inferior. The highest grade is produced by
the electro-colloidal / non-chemical method where the silver particles and
water have been collided, i.e., dispersed within and bound to each other by
an electric current. The super-fine silver particles are suspended indefinitely
in demineralized water. Ideally, colloidal silver is clear to a very slight
golden
yellow. Darker colors indicate larger silver particles that tend to collect at
the bottom of the container and are not true colloids. If a product contains a
stabilizer or lists trace elements other than silver, or if it needs to be
shaken,
it is inferior. If a product requires refrigeration, some other ingredient is
present that could spoil. Some brands with high concentrations of silver may
actually not be completely safe. High concentrations of silver do not kill
disease germs more effectively than the save range of 5 to 15 parts per
million (ppm.).
Ingesting Colloidal Silver
Taken orally, the colloidal silver is absorbed form the mouth into
the bloodstream, then transported quickly to the body cells. Swishing
the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing may result in faster
absorption. If only small doses of colloidal silver are taken it may take three
to four days for silver to accumulate in the tissues sufficiently for benefits
to
begin. Colloidal silver is completely eliminated form the body by the kidneys,
lymph system and bowls after several weeks.
If routinely exposed to dangerous pathogenic germs, to have continuous
protection, some recommend a regular daily intake of colloidal silver. In cases
of minor burns, an accumulation of colloidal silver may hasten healing,
reducing the possibility of infection and scar tissue. (A fine spray mist or
compress soaked in colloidal silver can also be very helpful.) It is believed
by
many in the natural healing arts that the lives of millions of people who are
susceptible to chronic low-grade infections an be enhanced by this
preventative health measure.
Chronic or Serious Conditions
One teaspoon of 10 ppm. colloidal silver equals about 50 micrograms
(mcg.) of silver. One to three teaspoons per day (50 - 150 mcg.) is generally
considered to be a "nutritional amount" and is reported to be safe to use for
extended periods of time. Amounts higher than this are generally considered
"therapeutic amounts" and should only be used periodically. IN cases of
illness,
natural health practitioners have often recommended taking double or triple
the "nutritional amount" for 30 to 45 days, then dropping down to a smaller,
maintenance dose. Amounts from 3 - 32 ounces per day have reportedly been
used in acute conditions. If your body is extremely ill or toxic, do not be in
a
hurry to clear up everything at once. If pathogens are killed off too quickly,
the body's five eliminatory channels (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs and bowel)
may
be temporarily overloaded, causing flu-like conditions, headache, extreme
fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles. Ease off on the colloidal silver
to
a smaller amount and increase your distilled water intake. Regular bowel
movements are a must in order to relieve the discomforts of detoxification.
Resolve to reduce sugar and saturated fats from the diet, and exercise more.
Given the opportunity, the body's natural ability to heal may amaze you.
Topical Uses
Some have used colloidal silver in a nasal spray mister - to reach the sinuses
and nasal passages. Spray bottles have been used for topical use on kitchen
and bathroom surfaces, skin, soar throat, eyes, burns, etc. Colloidal silver is
painless on cuts, abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for a stuffy nose,
and even in a baby's eyes because, unlike some antiseptics, it does not
destroy tissue cells. It's excellent as an underarm deodorant, since most
underarm odor is caused by bacteria breaking down substances released by
the sweat glands.
Some Common Uses of colloidal Silver
Natural health practitioners have for years recommended taking one
tablespoon daily, for four days, to establish a level, then one half-tablespoon
daily for maintenance (proportional to body weight for children). After six
weeks, a pause of several weeks has also been recommended by some natural
healing arts doctors. Also, colloidal silver can be applied directly to burns,
cuts, scrapes, and open sores, or on a bandage for warts. It can be applied
on eczema, itches, acne, sunburns or bug bites. To purify water, add one
tablespoon per gallon, shake well and wait six minutes. Mixed this way it's
tasteless. It is not an allopathic poison.
Veterinary and Garden Use
Colloidal silver has worked just as well on pets of all kinds. Used in
proportion to the body weight, it should bring the same results. In the garden,
field or greenhouse, add enough to the water or soil and the plants will do
the rest.
Tolerance To Disease Organisms
We have all heard of the "super-germs" that are resistant to most modern
antibiotics. Some believe that single-celled germs cannot mutate into silver-
resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore no
tolerance to colloidal silver would develop through mutation. Also, colloidal
silver has not been demonstrated to interact or interfere with other medicines
being take. Inside the body, silver apparently does not form toxic compounds
or react with anything other than a germ's oxygen-metabolizing enzyme.
Colloidal silver may truly be a safe, natural remedy for may of mankind's ills.
Additionally, there has never been a drug interaction reported between
colloidal silver and any other medications. It's difficult to overdose - unless
extremely large amounts are ingested. Colloidal silver has been reported by
uses to be both a remedy and a prevention for numerous infections, colds,
flus, and fermentation's due to various bacteria, viruses or fungi, even
the non-apparent low-grade, general body infections many people have.
Living organisms are in the colloidal-chemical state, not the crystalline
state.
The body may more readily assimilate substances already in that form.
Colloidal silver is the most useable form of a reputedly effective germ
fighter.
A colloidal suspension is ultra-fine particles of one substance, suspended by
an electric charge in another substance. Homogenized milk and aerosol sprays
are colloidal suspensions. Colloidal silver is pure metallic silver (not a
chemical compound) of particles 15 atoms or fewer, each with a positive
electric charge, and attached to a molecule of simple protein. This new
particle floats in pure water. The electric charge is stronger than gravity
so the silver particles don't sink.
Colloidal Silver in Advance of Illness
When the possibility of germ exposure is higher, colloidal silver can be take
orally each day or applied topically when there is a skin problem. It's like
having a second defense system. The silver acts only as a catalyst and is
stabilized. It is non-toxic, except to single cell pathogenic organisms, and
is non-addiction. It also, apparently, kills parasites in the single cell stage
of their life cycle. Older folks reportedly feel younger because their body
energies are used up constantly fighting disease. Digestion has also been
reportedly better. Medical research has shown the silver promotes more
rapid healing, with less scar tissue, even in the case of severe burns.
Successes have been reported in cases that previously have been given
up on by established doctors. Colloidal silver is tasteless and won't sting
even a baby's eyes, and won't upset your stomach.
More Than 650 Disease Helped
Colloidal silver has been reported to kill 650 microorganisms, many of which
are associated with human diseases. This does not automatically mean that
taking silver will "cure" diseases "caused" by these germs. Colloidal silver
only
kills microorganisms when they are in contact with it for a sufficient period
of
time. The human body is a complex system which may prevent high enough
concentrations of colloidal silver from reaching the "affected area".
The basic guideline that has been recommended for using colloidal silver is
that it usually "works" if you can get a high enough concentration to the
"affected area". Some will want to experiment with "higher amounts"
(such as 8 or more ounces at a time) to find out what it takes to accomplish
this. Do not use colloidal silver if you are allergic to contact with silver
metals,
or if you notice any digestive upset after use.
The following is a partial list of the more that 650 diseases that colloidal
silver
has been reputed to be successful against: acne, AIDS, allergies, appendicitis,
arthritis, athletes foot, bladder inflammation, blood parasites, blood
poisoning,
boils, burns, cancer, candida, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis, cystitis,
dermatitis,
diabetes, dysentery, eczema, fibrositis, gastritis, gonorrhea, hay fever,
herpes,
impetigo, indigestion, keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, Lyme
disease, malaria, meningitis, neurasthenia, parasitic infections: viral, fungal
and bacterial pneumonia, pleurisy, prostate, pruritus ani, psoriasis, purulent
opthalmia, rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of
the eyes, ears, mouth, and throat, seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, skin
cancer,
staphylococcus and streptococcus infections, stomach flu, syphilis, thyroid,
tuberculosis, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, all forms of virus, warts,
whooping
cough, yeast infection, stomach ulcer, canine parovirus and other veterinary
uses, and fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted silver on
the leaves and add to the soil.
