USE OF COLLOIDAL SILVER, DOSE

Colloidal Silver has been used for around 100 years. Knowledge of silver's health giving properties, however, goes back over 2000 years. Silver derived preparations were commonplace up to the 1940s until antibiotics broke onto the scene. Silver was all but forgotten. However, with the advent of Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) germs, scientists and researchers are now looking at alternatives including silver and importantly, Colloidal Silver which is also effective against Viral, Fungal and Yeast Infections.

COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED QUALITY ELECTROLYTIC COLLOIDAL SILVER IS SAFE, HAS NO HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS AND TO DATE, NO NEGATIVE REACTIONS TO PRESCRIBED MEDICINES/DRUGS HAVE BEEN RECORDED.

Quality Electrolytic Colloidal Silver may taken orally, applied externally, used in all of the body's orifice and some Natural Health Practitioners also advocate the use of nebulizers. Other uses include: Purifying water, prolonging food freshness, preventing the growth of mold and mildew on plants and Veterinarian use for animals.

An overview can be found the FAQ page - "What are Colloidal Silver's uses?

Most popular methods of using Colloidal Silver:

Maintenance dose.
The supplementary dose used to keep a small but essential level of silver in the body:

Adults: 5-10 ml (about 1 teaspoon) a day swilled around the mouth for 30 seconds (most of the silver is absorbed through the mucous membranes, especially under the tongue).

Natural Therapists suggest a week's break from Colloidal silver in every five (approx).

For general internal cleansing, when first taking Colloidal Silver, complementary therapists typically recommend:

First 3-4 days - 15 ml swilled around the mouth for at least 30 sec.

Next 30 days - Gradually increase to 15 -20 ml twice a day (morning and evening).

Finally - Back to the "maintenance" dose.

Sometimes, when increasing the amount of Colloidal Silver, a mild headache, flu-like symptoms or itching may occur due to the increased amount of toxins overloading the immune system's natural elimination process. Cutting down the dose until symptoms disapear (usually a day or two) is commonly advised.
For this reason it is important to:


DRINK PLENTY OF CLEAN, PURE WATER - At least 1 litre a day. Filtered water is best.

A few specific examples - "Therapeutic doses"

Always consult a Qualified Medical Practitioner for serious conditions.

Common cold.
At the first signs of symptoms from this viral infection - Itchy feeling in the back of the mouth, sneezing, etc., spray the back of the mouth and under the tongue (15 times with applicator provided) every 2hours if possible. Alternatively, gargle with approximately 5 ml Colloidal Silver 5-6 times a day and swallow. Large amounts of Vitamin C (2-4 grams) are often recommended. Drink plenty of pure water.

Intestinal problems

Because Colloidal Silver is quickly absorbed when taken normally as in a maintenance dose, it does not reach the large intestine. A different approach is therefore necessary.

Irritable Bowel, Diverticulitis, Food Poisoning, Flu, conditions leading to diarrhoea where the offending pathogen is in the gut:
A single, one-off, 200 ml dose mixed with 500 ml of pure chlorine-free water taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and bladder followed by liying down for 20 minutes, should give fast relief from the worst symptoms. Because intestinal flora balance may be affected, it is usually recommended to replenish by taking live culture yoghurt or similar products. Drinking plenty of pure water is important.

Intestinal Worms - Internal Parasites
Taking Colloidal Silver regularly can act as a preventative measure. The small parasitic worms lay eggs to reproduce. In this state, they are vulnerable to the effects of Colloidal Silver, essentially preventing the eggs from hatching.

Bladder infections and Urinary tract

Many favourable reports and anecdotal evidence suggest Colloidal Silver taken as for "general internal cleansing" to be successful especially for bladder infections cystitis and urinary tract problems. For serious infections, 200ml taken as detailed under "Irritable Bowel" section above, may be used.

External applications

Cuts, Grazes, Burns, Dandruff, Itchy Scalp, Skin conditions like Psoriasis and Eczema benefit from frequent application. Colloidal Silver does not sting and has powerful antiseptic, disinfectant and germicidal properties. It has also been shown to promote wound healing.

Athelete's foot fungal infection.
After washing and thoroughly drying the foot:
Spray the affected area, leave 5 minutes and dry gently.
Repeat the previous step, this time spraying the whole of the foot.
Alternatively, a small wad of cotton wool can be soaked in colloidal silver and placed in between the toes for a few minutes if this is the only affected area.
A small amount may be sprayed inside the shoes.

Eye Infections.
Mild Eye infections like "Pink Eye" are reputed to respond well to Colloidal Silver. A few drops applied at night and in the morning have been shown to quickly clear up the problem.
The previous two examples were personally suggested by a reflexologist - They worked for me! - Webmaster.

Yeast Infections generally respond well to Colloidal Silver.
Several different types are known. In the last few years, Candida has received much attention and is thought to sometimes be the precursor to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, M.E., T.A.T. (Tired All the Time Syndrome) and some infections.
Candidaisis (Candida) caused by a proliferation of a yeast Candida Albicans, is a serious condition often resulting in many different symtoms and problems. Colloidal Silver has been used successfully as part of the strict dietry and herbal regimen used by Natural Therapists. Many impressive websites containing a wealth of information about candida can be found on the 'net.


Water Filters

Gravity type water filters are inexpensive, commonly available and eliminate, to some degree, many impurities found in the water supply.

Much more convenient and effective are pressure type filters that are permanently connected. Allowing instantaneous filtered water, they come in different forms, some filtering out heavy metals (lead, aluminium etc.)
