I can add that I use silver protein , if I feel a cold or illness coming on I add about 10 drops to my coffee , next day I am a new guy again .. and I can make it as I got the kit... works for me. good for cuts also.

308: What is the correct way to take silver? I've heard a teaspoonful held under the tongue to go directly into the bloodstream. Then I've heard swallow it and not swallow it.

I use Silver every time I feel a cold coming on , sore mouth etc , next day I am same as new, I both buy it and make my own , I will not take every day but as on need basics.

3 different kinds of CS, for 3 different grades or purposes ...all very effective respectively...known these men for years
note : You can only stock so much of the MSP... why not make Your own general antibiotic.

I just wanted to post this additional link for purchasing Mild Silver. To use a typical adult maintenance dose, they recommend the 1,100 ppm and the cost of it is $27 per bottle or $162 for a case of 6. Dr. Johnson recommends purchasing the 5,000 ppm ($90 per bottle and $500 per case) because it can be watered down to the strength needed and actually costs less buying it in that strength...if a person has the ability. Most of us do not and need to look at the less strong versions. I know I would like to have a bottle of each of the strongest versions in my preparedness stockpile along with as much as I can afford of the milder Mild Silver. I have found that Dr Johnson often sells the different strengths at a lesser cost than this website I have attached so it may be worth a call if you are interested in getting the best price.

I have also attached the link to the PDR for Mild Silver. It is good to study it if you are interested in using this product because you will get a good understanding of the strengths and amounts that would be desirable for the different needs. If the link takes you to his main page, just click the PDR link at the top center of the page.

My wife and I do the same thing We have been taking CS for over 15 years however we have also included a dose of MSM in the juice, and have found this to be very effective.

Also holding the colloidal silver in the back of your throat for at least 7 miutes was the key, other than a case of h1 n1, this year confirrmed by the doctor, I havent been sick for about 11 years.

NOTE: We do fill antibiotic prescriptions, however we use CS, and MSM to treat the illness and shelf the antibiotics for Hard Times...

Whitewolf

That is my method if I feel off but I include a double dose of D and EmergenC!

Yesterday I had not any sleep , and was very down and out , pain all over , (FLU??) any way I started taking lots of orange juice, Colloidal silver, and lots of Immune supplements, today I am back to normal.... Think of it this way , was safer/cheaper than a doctor visit...

I have used colloidal silver for years but now much prefer the Mild Silver. It has been a number of months since I looked at the Invive website but I thought the reason the mild silver was preferable is that it is ionic silver. Although colloidal is partially ionic, mild silver is pure ionic and suspended for much longer periods of time. Here are 3 of the sites I just looked at quickly.

Another site from Mike, the Health Ranger, offers a bit of insight into this matter at: http://www.naturalnews.com/025366.html On this site, he indicates contaminating distilled water with salt is problematic, so, though I have yet to use this method, I will keep this in mind.

When taking silver products internally, we may be well advised to remember we are dealing with a heavy metal. Other heavy metals have been indicated to cause problems with our systems. Some believe they can cause inflammation leading to vessel problems, cancers and so forth. As elsewhere stated, even iron is a potential problem, especially for we men. For that reason, there is a great deal of information and formulas to chelate heavy metals (fluoride, mercury, etc.) out of our systems. If nothing else, we may be well advised to remember the Biblical advice of doing ALL things in moderation. Note that that does not exclude anything, even worship.

Obviously, the more effective we can use something the better off we will be. There is much conflicting information out there so, though I use "ionic" silver, I do so with caution. Still, I do use it, but desire to know more of it so that I can make the best use of it.

I have looked to the quakwatch site a few times, but have come to realize that few of us on this list would get along with the owners of the site. He/She/They certainly are not immune from prejudice against all but accepted practices. I have reviewed reports elsewhere that, if heeded, would say use advice from this site with caution. That is not to say some of the thing negatively reported on the site should not be treated as quackery. For example, the pads that supposedly draw toxins, or the rather expensive foot bath systems that do the same. I believe these are just devices that take advantage of people's ignorance of electricity and its effect on iron and such.

Again I am in agreement with the statements above and after 15 yrs of experimenting with cs., I think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks ( especially in hard times ) , when regular medicine supplies are unavailable, for emergency purposes you will be pl;eased to find the results of CS>, to even one better current emergency room practices ...

Used for topical now will within reason will allow practice for the hard times approaching,

Used to kill bacteria in babies eyes at birth...

Used to grow skin cells in the finest burn wards in America...

Used to kill bacteria in olden days in cows milk lengthening the shelf life...

Used for the worst known burns treated in burn wards (topically )

Used and usually more effective than emergency room treatment up to and including stomache pumping for food poisoning...

Used and almost always more effective than emergency room treatment for pink eye....

Another experience I just thought to mention was my experience with our irrigation ponds. We use large ponds, into which water is pumped to provide for the big pumps that feed our 100 acre irrigation circles. After a while, moss and algae build up on everything. The ditch riders who tend the governments ditches that are the water source for the ponds use copper and things to kill plant growth.

Since we have to apply copper to the crops from time to time, it certainly doesn't bother them that the ditch riders tend their ditches with it. With these thought in mind, I went and got some styrofoam from a stero shipping box and poked holes in two pieces. I then forced used copper water pipes down through the holes so they were tightly held in place, then tied eighteen gauge wire to them (I drilled holes in the ends to make this easier). One float became the negative lead and the other became the positive lead. Both ran to a batter fed off a small solar panel. The two "plates floated in the water and generated copper. They obviously worked because the copper showed signs of being eaten away. Too, I think the copper helped beat down plant build up, when the pond set and it was able to build up. Anyway, it was a maintenance free toy and built on could be a handy tool.

I didn't have time to share some anecdotes regarding my initial experiences with colloidal silver made using the power supply system I talked about previously. They are just anecdotes and not scientific studies, so take them for what you think they are worth.

We had several farm cats that had come down with what looked like the initial stages of kitty pneumonia. They were sneezen, wheezen creatures all. Not wanting to lose some of my hard workers, I poured some silver mix in a bowl of milk and fed it to them. It didn't last long, since farm cats on a non-dairy farm aren't accustomed to the luxury of cows milk. Within two or three days, they all were symptom free. The old tom of the group had been gone for some time and showed up a few days later. He appeared horrible, compared to the others, so I poured him his own bowl. It took about a week, but he was back to his old wandering self.

According to a cantankerous poster from another list, it couldn't have worked because the milk would have neutralized the silver and the cats' stomach acids would have rendered it useless. Well, lets hear it for kitty placebos. What else can I say?

We had about seven pear trees in the orchard and always had to be concerned with things like fungus. On a whim, I threw some colloidal silver on the branches that were affected. It didn't totally solve the problem, but it did seem to inhibit further growth. I should have been a bit more aggressive in my experimentation because there may have been some valuable answers there.

Finally, a friend, since passed away, complained of a foot fungus that was a gift from the Korean war. I sent him home with a quart of silver and suggested he bathe his feet in water treated with it. I think he found it almost comical that he was able to soak his feet in something that would have cost him hundreds of dollars downtown, but which he could have all he wanted for free (I was in the process of brewing a 55 gallon drum full for orchard use, but was having problems with stirring to dissipate the solution). Anyway, he came back out for a visit a few months later and said that it had been the first thing that seemed to help. He had been taking strong antibiotics, with their own set of drawbacks, but they had been becoming increasingly ineffective.

The result of my experiences with homemade colloidal silver as been such that I would consider it an important thing to be able to create in times of hard. Even if you did not wish to consume it (many doses in a year would not affect your skin color), it could be an important thing to have available for surface disinfecting, or as an antibacterial for skin application. And that is possible, as long as you have a battery source (even a 3-1/2 v battery would work, it would just be slow) and silver for the plates, you could always limp by with any water source.

First, I would not take colloidal silver, except when the need calls for it, anymore than would I take an antibacterial regularly. I believe it best to build our bodies immunity. That said, there are times we must take desperate measures.

I make my own silver and have for years. It's a simple process. Electricity is electricity and it is either alternating current ]AC] or direct current [DC]. You can increase voltage (pressure) of electricity. You can increase the amperage. You can increase the frequency. You can feed it back on itself. You can dump it in a load to create heat or light. You can switch it and you can read the times it switches or monitor the paths the switching causes. In the end, it is still electricity. Colloidal silver is, essentially, and electroplating process done using DC. The only thing that changes making it is the amount of amperage, the pressure, or voltage used to make it, and the material it's made in.

Most making colloidal silver use distilled water, for its purity. However, its purity does not allow it to conduct current, so it is mildly contaminated to allow the water to conduct current and allow electricity to flow from a negative silver plate to a positive plate.

Colloidal silver can be made using batteries or a DC power supply. An old power source from a child's toy train works well, since it both converts AC to DC and allows you to vary the amount of voltage, up to 36VDC. I picked up two at garage sales for about a buck each, so keep your eyes open. You can also wire three nine volt batteries in series so you have 27VDC. They will last a good long while for this purpose.

I bought a silver ingot and cut it in half to form the plates for my "Colloidal Silver Generator," or you can spend up to a couple hundred bucks on the net and get the same thing in a cute package. They'll probalby through in some nice LED lights too. Alternatively, you can spend $28.00 or more for four ounces of "special" stuff from a health food store.

They say you can contaminate your distilled water with a drop or two of saline. Sea salt would probably work. It would only take a crystal or two. Next, connect you two silver plates (the ingot cut in half, or some 99.9% pure silver jewelers wire) to the negative and positive outputs of your power supply and drop it in the water. Don't let the wire leads rest in the water, You just want colloidal silver, not colloidal electrical wire.

With the power on, you will see silver flowing off the negative plate in short order. I don't make more than a glass at a time and within seconds after I see silver flowing off the plate I end the process. As elsewhere said on this thread, more is not better.

If you make more than a glass of colloidal silver, you should stir the water to mix the silver in. Of course, use a wood, glass or plastic stir device.

Using your own silver generator, you can make what would be thousands of dollars worth of solution.

Wikapeida has a very good bit of information on this subject and should be considered (I got called to task elsewhere for my ignorance and I hate crow). One of the things claimed is milk and other things neutralize silver. As well, stomach acid may affect it's use too. As such, it might be I should look at topical absorption for internal use, since the skin absorbs good and bad alike.

As it has been said, be careful. The Bible says "everything in moderation," and it makes NO exceptions.

If I ever see a patient with Agyria (sp) I will certainly never treat them any differently! But I would recommend a bracelet to make sure resucitive efforts are made regardless of their skin tone.

I see absolutely no conflict with that statement. If I were to use the solution, it would be as a preventive, topical measure, not as a supplement.

As I'm collecting and collating the info, it's important to know that silver does kill germs as it alters the bacteria's membrane by changing the electrical potential, literally zapping the bugs. This is when it done externally.

Silver, like iron or lithium, or any metal is not metabolized by the body for elimination. You can develop lithium toxicity as with bipolar medicine, hemochromotosis is when your body retains too much iron (and can kill you), and we have seen examples of too much silver.

Be aware I'm saying TOO MUCH!! You're body doesn't have a meter that shows your levels. You should trust your body to be able to fight infection and the best way to do that is take care of it. Take multi-vitamins, get plenty of sleep, eat a well balanced diet, stop smoking and don't drink to excess. Your body knows exactly what to do to stay healthy. Trust it.

Wasn't sure if I wanted to post this as it has only been three days since I began self-administration of colloidal silver. This past week I have been suffering with a gum inflammation (infection) and it was hurting to the point that I could not sleep. One big ache on the right side of my jaw.

I remembered the bottle of CS that a friend gave me and I stuck away in the medicine cabinet. Started swishing the stuff around in my mouth three times a day and by golly, I can touch my gum with my tongue now and it does not hurt. The swelling is down and no more bleeding. This morning it was almost completely normal. Before it had affected my ability to chew on the right side and now the tooth and it's underneath are coming back to normal.

I think I'm beginning to see the light.

Although I myself have never used C.S. , several friends of mine do use it on a regular basis and swear by it ! The fact that silver has a bacteria eliminating quality to it was first discovered in the "Dark Ages" when the elitists of that time realized that by manufacturing their eating utensils from silver, they could eliminate much of the gastro intestinal discomfort and distress caused by using utensiles made from pewter or hardwood. Silver utensils were/are easier to wash and keep clean, whereas less expensive and easy to make hardwood utensils are a virtual bacteria colony and when used by different individuals will spread germs and disease from mouth to mouth.
Inexpensive C.S. generators were offered by sponsers of short wave radio broadcasts at least 15 years ago and are still on the market in survival stores for a reasonable amount of FRN's. One of the positive advertised qualities for C.S. is to eliminate the symptoms of rhumetoid arthritis, and one of my neighbors said that it did help his arthritic pain.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Here's what I think we should do with this conversation string......

This is too important an issue to let slowly drop off the forum. I propose that all those who are interested in this subject and this technique do lots of research and present links to scholarly articles here for all of us to read.

As I mentioned before, all those who use it are zealous in their support. Those of us who are sitting on the fence or not convinced.......well, you get the idea. Convince us Missouri mules, one way or another.

If there is, in fact, basis to use this as part of our major disaster preparedness efforts, we owe it to everybody to research it good. I do know that you can use solar power for a colloidal generator so if it is a viable resource for our supplies we should be exploring it.

The mere fact of someone saying it is good should be the basis of discerning research on our part. On the other hand, those who say it is not good deserve a say also.

Found this article FOR. Interestingly, it is not by a member of the health establishment. http://www.newstarget.com/010038.html

It doesn't matter whether you are talking about conventional medicine, natural medicine, or alternative treatment -- the watchword is always CAUTION. I am a firm believer in the fact that there are thousands of treatments that the medical bureaucracy and big pharma do NOT want you to know about or practice.

I also am a firm believer that natural and alternative is best IF it does the job. I always research everything and, in consonance with our family practitioner, make decisions about our own health or treatment. His is not the final word and he accepts that and works with us and tells us the truth if he has misgivings about a course. The less medication, the better.

And getting back to colloidal silver, I know two people who take it and use it on an extremely regular basis. One of them has argyria, which is the slight blue tint of the skin and if you look closely, you can see it in the eyeballs. That said and done, as far as I am concerned, the jury is still out on it's use. I do know that Curad has introduced bandages that are treated with colloidal silver. Is that a trend -- I don't know.

You find two distinct views regarding silver - for and against. The people 'for' do it with zeal. Much zeal. Those who are against, generally are the medical establishment. For good reason, it affects their income! Here is an article by a doctor who is against -

http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRel ... verad.html

And here's another against -

http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/co ... t/49/7/575

I am unable to find anything for, except by those who take it or sell it. Now before anyone gets in an uproar, I do all my own research because I trust myself. I would never try anything - conventional or otherwise - unless I researched it myself FIRST.

That does not mean I would not try an alternative approach - yes I would, not just on someone's say-so - maybe on their recommendation and then I put myself to work delving into all aspects of it.

Again, speaking just for myself, the jury is out on this particular item.

As I said, just be careful when using it.
