Frequently Asked Questions about “Isolated Colloidal Ionic Silver”

What is Colloidal Silver?

Colloidal Silver is a pure, all natural substance consisting of distilled water and submicroscopic clusters of purest silver (99,9999%). Colloidal Silver is manufactured by a non-chemical process where the microscopic particles of silver are held in suspension by an electromagnetic charge placed on each particle – so, it is mainly positively charged ions (Ag+) floating in the solution.

What does Colloidal Silver do?

Many studies seem to reflect that Colloidal Silver may work as a broad spectrum antibiotic. While most antibiotics are effective against about a half-dozen disease-causing organisms (germs, bacteria, fungi, parasites and some viruses), silver is believed effective against dozens of organism (see independent BYU study) and has been proven helpful against hundreds of health conditions.

Is Colloidal Silver safe to take?

The Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center reports no toxicity listing for Colloidal Silver. These reports seem to reflect that it is considering it harmless in any concentration. Other studies and information seem to show that Colloidal Silver is the safest and best alround natural antibiotic germ-fighter we have. So far, there has been not a single record in the files of the FDA-USA stating about ANY side-effects..

What is Colloidal Silver effective against?

Many studies seem to reflect that Colloidal Silver has been proven to be useful against many different infections and is toxic in concentrations of only 5 ppm (parts per million = milligram) against almost all bacteria, protozoa and certain viruses (see independent BYU study).

What are the specifications of our product?

parameters tested:

ppm silver by atomic adsorption spectrometry between 8 - 12 turbidity: about 0,2 – 3 NTU
color: clear to slight yellowish
ph: between 7 and 9 - i.e. neutral to slight alcaline

What is a Colloid?

A substance is a colloid, when it consists of ultra-fine particles that do not dissolve but remain in suspension in water. These ultra-fine particles are larger than most molecules but so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye – even submicroscopic. In a true colloid of silver, the ideal size of the silver particles falls within the range of 0.005 - 0.015 microns in diameter. These particles are electrically charged and allow the silver particles to remain suspended in water.

How does a Colloidal Silver Generator make Colloidal Silver?

Most generators utilize a electrolysis process which allows extremely fine silver particles to be suspended in solution by the tiny charge placed on the particles. This method replaces the need for any chemicals, stabilizers or proteins and the product can be called a true isolated ionic colloid of silver.

Does particle size matter?

Particle size is a crucial factor. Much of the efficiency of the colloidal solution depends on the actual size and uniformity of silver particles. Particles that are too large are less effective. The preferred particle size for optimum results and safety of use should be from 0.005 - 0.015 microns in diameter. (one micron = one millionth of a meter). Our product ranges well within this range – according to laboratory tests.

What about the colour of the final product?

An excellent indicator of the quality of Colloidal Silver is the colour. As the size of each silver particle gets larger, the colour of the solution ranges from yellow to brown to red to grey and black. Colloids of silver that are produced using the proper electrolysis method are of different colour than the grind or chemically produced colloids, except in the case of some products that contain artificial food colouring to get the right colour. The ideal colour of Colloidal Silver is clear to very pale yellow/brown.

What about the ppm (mg per litre) – what concentration is best?

Many studies seem to reflect that in the range of 5 - 10 ppm (parts per million), colloidal silver has little effect on 'friendly' bacteria, while being highly useful against infections and eliminating various microbes, viruses and fungi. Colloidal Silver that is too concentrated (above 20 ppm ) may upset the delicate balance of the digestive tract by destroying significant amounts of friendly bacteria. There are claims that colloidal silver solutions in the 100ppm range are beneficial for many skin conditions.

What are some (modern) uses for Colloidal Silver?

Silver is an antimicrobial substance. Therefore, we can understand that it might be helpful, where it can come into direct contact with pathogens. In Laboratory tests it has been confirmed for its tremendous efficacy in a very short time- toxinfree!

For the Indian circumstances and drinking water situation (esp. on travels) it is very interesting to know that the amount of half of top cap of the bottle (= half a table-spoon - NOTE: use only plastic spoons) is able to decontaminate 1 litre of suspected drinking water within about 20 minutes. It will kill the most common pathogens at a concentration of over 200 CFU (Coliforming Units) per ml of water. So, one bottle of 125ml can purify safely and surely about 32 litres of drinking water!

Furthermore, Colloidal Silver can be used as a topical disinfectant when used in a sprayer. Colloidal Silver may be taken orally as a dietary supplement in order to flush the body with silver ions, contributing to the immune support and tissue repair. Or externally it can be put on a Band-Aid and applied directly to cuts, scrapes, open sores, warts or used as a rinse for acne, eczemas, scar-prevention/minimization and other skin irritations. It may be gargled, dropped into eyes or ears, used vaginally, anally, rinsed through the sinuses and atomized or inhaled into the nose or lungs. The best thing to do is to experiment and try different methods and uses.

Does Colloidal Silver have any effect on cancer cells?

Dr. Gary Smith (a pioneer in cancer research) in an unpublished article writes that: “Success depends on the amount of silver in the person's body and problems result from the lack of silver in the body. When silver was present, the cancer cells stopped their development and the body is basically restored. When silver levels are low or not-existent, the cancer growth continues to grow because the cells cannot reverse it themselves.”

How does silver naturally get into the body?

One might ask, how do we get silver in our body in the first place? We get silver and all minerals in the body through the food we eat. How does silver get in the food? It gets in the food through living soil where living organisms in healthy soil, (of which there are billions in a handful of dirt) break down the soil so plants are provided minerals in a form assimilable to the plant. By assimilating the plant nutrients with the food, the minerals are transferred in our digestive tract, where our bodies utilize the captured organic (chelated) minerals, through the blood stream to the various organs of our body. Hence, we get silver in a very small size, almost colloidal, from plants. If we cannot assimilate silver because our food is poor of it or for the reason of tissue aging, we develop a silver deficiency and an impaired immune system may lead to cancer in some cases. In the end: how can silver be in the plants and in our foods, if the soils are depleted and poor of silver and other substances?

Does Colloidal Silver help in the fight against AIDS?

Since in active AIDS, the suppressed immune system of the body is open to all kinds of diseases, colloidal silver seems to be the perfect non-toxic preparation to use for its wide spectrum antibiotic effect. A researcher at Brigham Young University sent colloidal silver to two different labs including UCLA Medical Center, which has been reported to have said "It killed not only the HIV Virus (invitro), but every virus that was tested in the lab.”

How much colloidal silver should a person take per day?

Many people experiment with taking from one or two teaspoons to 2 to 6 tablespoons each day. You may even experiment with larger doses if you have a cold or such. We cannot over stress the importance of consulting a licensed medical practitioner. Much information seems to report that adults take one tablespoon 3 times a day for four to seven days, then cut down to one tablespoon per day. Children or babies would use a proportionally smaller dose. Another way to determine dosage is kinesiology or muscle testing. Optimum dose may require individually more or less colloidal silver.

Are there any known side effects from using colloidal silver?

There is no recorded side effect in medical literature from the use of colloidal silver. Additionally there has never been a recorded case of a drug interaction. It is non-addicting, the body does not build up a tolerance to it, and studies seem to show that colloidal silver is not deposited under the skin like other compounds that may cause grey skin (Argyria). However, being an antibiotic substance, a reaction can rarely occur, which is well-known from chemical antibiotics as well to occur – the Herx reaction, which is a harmless, temporary flu like condition, resulting from massive die-off of pathogens.

If it's so great, people ask why they have never heard of colloidal silver before?

In the 1920ies and 30ies, colloidal silver was widely used. Colloidal silver retailed about $100.00 per ounce in the 1930's. Recent technology has brought the price down so that colloidal silver can now compete in the marketplace. Numerous articles in medical journals of colloidal silver can be found dating usually before 1940. New articles and data will soon be appearing as more doctors rediscover this safe and effective mineral solution. New information is already appearing on the internet.

Do I still need to visit my family doctor if I use colloidal silver?

If your conditions look serious or begin to look serious, if they persist or worsen, please visit / consult your family doctor. In no way do we even remotely mean to imply that this product or any alternative methods will or can replace your family doctor. But what you can do is to tell your doctor about colloidal silver and about its uses from testimonial evidences.

How long has silver been used as a germ fighter?

Silver is mentioned in the Bible. Royalty carried water in silver vessels in the belief that this water would help them maintain their health. Before refrigeration was invented, a silver dollar was placed in containers of milk to maintain freshness. Silver was the primary antibiotic used by the wealthy before the advent of penicillin in 1938.

How and When to take Colloidal Silver?

Because the silver particles hold a positive charge, they, like every living thing, are affected by "intent". We suggest that while taking the silver, picture yourself in perfect health. BTW: Ancient knowledge reveals that silver is a substance which is related to the moon energies, and therefore related with the female principle of nature. The female stands for cooling, caressing and flexible properties, perfect to smoothen the body functions and balance the liver action.

Internal Use

Allow the silver to stay in your mouth, swish it around and let it lie under your tongue to promote maximum absorption. It is recommended in the first five days of acute conditions that the 80ml+ daily dose (10 tablespoons+) be split into equal doses throughout the day. Following the initial 5 day booster dosage and then reduce to a 2 – 4 tablespoons dose daily. The Colloidal Silver may taste a little bitter and metallic.

During the five days increased dosage, it is important to flush the body by drinking at least six to eight large glasses (0,4l each) of pure water daily. This assists the elimination channels as pathogens are destroyed.

NEVER allow the Colloidal Silver to be exposed to other metals, or strong electro-magnetic fields (TV, monitor, speaker, etc.). Always use the top-cap or a plastic spoon to administer.

If symptoms persist, seek the advice of a licensed medical practitioner.

Colloidal Silver works well when given as an ajunct to a healthy diet. Silver levels in the body are commonly very low especially in animals contracting illnesses suggesting that our soils are seriously deficient in the mineral.

External Use

Apply directly to cuts, burns, cold sores, open sores and other lesions. Dab on eczema, mosquito bites, acne and dandruff. Colloidal Silver works best when placed in contact with the source of infection. Spray on athletes foot, use as a gurgle for sore throats, or as a mouth/teeth rinse. Spray on nappy rash. Use as drops in the eyes and ears. For sinusitis, pour half a teaspoon into the palm of your hand and draw up nostrils alternatively twice each side for several times a day.

Colloidal Silver may also be used as a spray to prevent mildew, to disinfect cooking surfaces and on plant leaves. Remember to store the suspension out of direct sunlight.

For Animals

Colloidal Silver can be given alongside drugs recommended by your vet, the overall intention is to regain health and vitality where possible and using the 'best of both worlds' holds good to this intent. Colloidal Silver has shown dramatic results in the case of very young animals such as foals and calves scouring. Given with a syringe twice daily it has the most beneficial effect.

Cats with absesses may be treated both internally and externally with good results. It has been observed that many animals gain weight and energy following a course of Colloidal Silver suggesting that their general wellbeing is enhanced.

For larger animals such as horses, symptoms such as coughs and colds, hoof absesses and eye infections respond best by administration of a high dosage for 5 days followed by the daily recommended allowance.

For 'Seedy Toe' of the foot, soak cotton wool in Colloidal Silver then clear the debris from the affected part of the hoof as much as possible. Pack the hole with the soaked cotton wool daily until the area granulates with healthy horn tissue. Also good for over-reach injury in horses and for greasy heel infections - allow the area to be soaked in Colloidal Silver for 6 minutes before applying cream.

AT ALL TIMES SEEK THE ADVICE OF A REGISTERED VET IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR ANIMAL'S HEALTH.
