QUESTION: How is colloidal silver made?
ANSWER: Here’s how it’s done with the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator: Two 6-inch rods of pure .9999 fine silver are plugged into two jacks in the bottom of the generator, which sits on top of a one-quart wide-mouth glass jar filled with pure steam-distilled water. The two .9999 fine silver rods are immersed in the water. The one-quart wide-mouth glass jar is referred to as your “production container.”
When plugged in, your colloidal silver generator is calibrated to send a specific, low-voltage current of electricity through the silver rods. The low-voltage electricity passing through the silver rods drives tens of millions of tiny, sub-microscopic silver particles into the distilled water, suspending them in the water with an electrical charge.
This is called the electro-colloidal process. After the generator runs for the desired time (we recommend 3-4 hours), the result is a pure, high-quality ionic colloidal silver solution of approximately 7-10 ppm in concentration, with millions of tiny, submicroscopic silver particles as low as 1nm in size for maximum bioavailability and effectiveness.
QUESTION: What kind of glass jar is used for the production container?
ANSWER: Every Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator comes with a one-quart wide-mouth production jar. But any normal wide-mouth canning jar will make a perfect production container for producing colloidal silver.
(Before making colloidal silver with your new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, be sure to read the Operating Instructions guide that comes with each generator, which includes handy tips and important safety information.)
QUESTION: How long will the two pure .9999 fine pure silver rods last?
ANSWER: If you make colloidal silver as often as twice per week, your silver rods will usually last for up to a full year, and often much longer if you make colloidal silver less frequently. They slowly get thinner over time, and to maximize their wear, we recommend rotating them between the jacks. You should always plug them in from the same end and then rotate them often between the jacks. This will ensure they always fit the jacks and wear evenly. Once they get to about half the thickness, we recommend replacing them for optimal high-quality colloidal silver. A rule of thumb is—if they are difficult to handle by hand, they are ready for replacement!
QUESTION: How do you know when it’s time to replace your silver rods?
ANSWER: After a year or longer of regular twice-weekly usage, your silver rods will eventually begin to grow thin and start getting brittle. When the rods become so thin that they break in half when you bend them, you should replace them with a new set. That should take well over a year under normal, twice-weekly usage.
QUESTION: Can you use sterling silver rods instead of the pure .9999 fine silver rods to make the colloidal silver solution?
ANSWER: NO! You should NEVER use sterling silver to make colloidal silver. Sterling silver contains nickel, which is used as a hardening agent. We are told that nickel is extremely toxic to the human nervous system. So, to avoid problems with toxicity, you should always use the .9999 fine pure silver rods when making colloidal silver.
QUESTION: Where can I purchase extra sets of the .9999 fine pure silver rods?
ANSWER: You should always buy silver wire from a company you trust and that will provide a real certification of its purity. We hope you buy from us! Our rods are the thicker 12-gauge circumference that fits perfectly into the jacks in the bottom of your new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator. We didn’t pick that gauge out of thin air! We did extensive research and testing to determine the best thickness to use to produce the highest-quality colloidal silver. Don’t forget, each set of pure .9999 fine silver rods will allow you to produce an astonishing 3,200 ounces, or more, which is about $24,000 worth of colloidal silver, based upon typical retail health food store prices for colloidal silver!

QUESTION: Can I purchase the pure .9999 fine 12-gauge silver wire in bulk and save money?
ANSWER: Yes, you can purchase the pure .9999 fine silver wire in the thicker 12-gauge circumference in bulk 5-foot rolls, and simply cut your own silver rods from the roll with a pair of tin snips.
It’s very simple to cut—just unroll a length of silver, measure off six inches, and snip it with your tin snips. That’s it! What’s more, by buying larger rolls of silver wire and cut your own silver rods.
NOTE: When making larger batches, like a half-gallon, your silver rods need to be longer. When making colloidal silver, your silver rods should be about 1/2 to 1 inch from the bottom of the container. So the 6-inch set isn’t long enough for larger batches, which is why most people buy bulk rolls, allowing them to cut the necessary length!
QUESTION: Instead of using distilled water, can you make colloidal silver with other kinds of water, like bottled water, well water, alkaline water, purified water, structured water, or reverse osmosis filtered water?
ANSWER: Absolutely not. You should use only pure steam-distilled water, which is available from most local supermarkets for around a dollar a gallon.
Water from an underground well—no matter how “pure” it has tested—is still full of dissolved mineral content. What’s more, filtered water—even water that has been run through a reverse osmosis system—still contains dissolved minerals that can dramatically affect the quality and purity of your colloidal silver.
It’s the same with structured water, alkaline water, purified water, and bottled water: There’s too much mineral content in them to make a high-quality colloidal silver solution. Only pure steam-distilled water is free of all contaminants, including dissolved minerals.
QUESTION: Will pure steam-distilled water “go bad” in storage if I don’t use it for a while?
ANSWER: No. Just store it in the plastic container you purchased it in, and keep the lid on. It will not go bad in storage.
QUESTION: Is it okay to distill your own water, and if so, where can I get a good countertop water distiller?
ANSWER: Certainly, it’s okay to steam distill your own water if you can match the quality of the steam-distilled water available through commercial sources.
Unfortunately, it’s time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. It can take anywhere from three to five hours to properly steam distill a single gallon of tap water using a good home water distiller. Lots of online companies sell countertop water distillers, but frankly, many of these units do a very poor job of removing all of the mineral content from the water, in spite of the glowing claims made by the companies that sell them.
When you consider the fact that pure, professionally-produced steam-distilled water costs only about a dollar a gallon (or a little more) at most stores, and that a good, high-quality home water distiller will cost you close to $500 or more, you’ll see that it may be easier and far cheaper to simply purchase your distilled water commercially.
You could purchase 500 gallons of pure, steam-distilled water at a store for about $500. Naturally, you’re never going to need to make and drink 500 gallons of colloidal silver in your lifetime. The point is, why spend $500 or more on a home water distiller when the results are so frequently uncertain, and when, by contrast, professionally made steam-distilled water is relatively inexpensive and so easily obtainable at your local store?
Nevertheless, if you prefer to make your own pure steam-distilled water, then WaterWise.com is said to have a high-quality range of home water distillers. You can do a Google search for others. My only suggestion would be to go with the most expensive model you can afford, as lower-cost models—particularly those in the under $500 range—simply don’t seem to have what it takes to produce steam-distilled water of high enough quality for making colloidal silver.
QUESTION: How do you properly store colloidal silver?
ANSWER: Experts agree you should always store colloidal silver in darkly tinted glass bottles at room temperature. Because silver is very sensitive to light, you must keep it out of the light as much as possible, or it will begin to oxidize and precipitate out of suspension, i.e., the little electrically-charged silver particles will begin to fall to the bottom of the storage container, leaving a silt-like gray powdery coating.
Storing your colloidal silver in darkly tinted glass bottles in a kitchen cabinet is fine. Below you’ll find a list of several known reliable sources for darkly tinted glass bottles. The most popular kind of storage bottle for colloidal silver is called the Boston Round amber glass storage bottle. These usually come in 8 oz., 16 oz., and 32 oz. sizes, but some vendors even carry the 64 oz. size. And if you’re very lucky, you might find a vendor that carries the large gallon-sized amber glass dark bottles. Many people also like to use cobalt blue glass storage bottles or other colored glass bottles that keep the light out.
QUESTION: Can I refrigerate my colloidal silver?
ANSWER: You should never refrigerate colloidal silver. That’s because in every batch of colloidal silver, the tiny submicroscopic silver particles are suspended in the water by an electrical charge. What’s more, they’re in a constant state of motion called Brownian Motion. Unfortunately, refrigeration dramatically slows down the Brownian Motion and can cause the silver particles to lose their suspension in the water, falling to the bottom of the storage container. This is called “plating out of suspension.” Storing your colloidal silver at room temperature is always best. Avoid excessive heat and excessive cold whenever possible.
QUESTION: Are there any other colloidal silver storage tips?
ANSWER: Yes. For long-term storage (months/years), do not store your colloidal silver close to electrical or magnetic influences such as the microwave oven, television, radio, stereo speakers (which have large magnets in them), etc. Over long periods, strong electro-magnetic fields can seriously weaken or even altogether neutralize the electrical charge on the silver particles, causing them to drop out of suspension and thereby render your colloidal silver solution less potent.
QUESTION: How long can you store colloidal silver before it loses its potency?
ANSWER: In general, properly made colloidal silver should store indefinitely. But it depends upon the quality of the colloidal silver you’ve made, and the storage conditions. High-quality colloidal silver produced solely with pure steam-distilled water and stored in a dark cabinet at room temperature will store far longer and retain full potency far longer than colloidal silver produced with poor quality water and stored in poor conditions.
Generally speaking, a high-quality colloidal silver solution such as that produced by the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator distributed by The Silver Edge will easily store for a year or longer in a dark kitchen cabinet at room temperature and retain 99% of its potency during that time. I’ve had quart jars of micro-particle colloidal silver in my emergency preparedness cabinet that were still perfectly good after five years of storage.
However, poor quality colloidal silver or colloidal silver stored under improper conditions can begin to lose potency after only a few weeks to a few months. In such cases, you’ll actually see silver particles that have fallen out of suspension and have dropped to the bottom of your storage bottle, leaving a light silvery-grey coating looking a bit like silt.
Conditions that contribute to the “plating out” of silver particles include, but are not limited to: Prolonged exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures, prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light, prolonged exposure to electrical fields or magnetic fields in the home, and even prolonged exposure to ambient household static electricity. Storing your colloidal silver solution away from such contributing factors can vastly increase the length of time it will remain fully potent.
To learn how to check your colloidal silver for potency during long periods of storage, see the FREE article at the following link:
QUESTION: How do I know there are actually silver particles suspended in the water when I’ve finished making a batch of colloidal silver?
ANSWER: First of all, some people can taste the very light but distinctive metallic taste. That alone lets you know the silver particles are there. But not everyone can, as everyone has different taste buds.
So, there’s a simple trick for being able to visually “see” the silver particles in your solution. Just make a batch of colloidal silver using steam-distilled water as per the directions that come with your generator. Then, take a laser pointer that shines a bright laser beam and go into a dark room. (Note: For safety and effectiveness, we recommend using a laser pointer with the following specifications: wavelength around 654 nm, maximum power <5 mW, and classified as a Class III laser. Never shine the laser directly into your eyes or someone else’s eyes. Always handle lasers responsibly and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines.)
Inside the dark room, shine the laser light into your colloidal silver solution (being careful not to shine the red beam toward your eyes). If you’re looking closely, you’ll see a faint red beam of light shining directly through your colloidal silver solution from top to bottom or side to side. This is because the laser light is reflecting off the tens of billions of submicroscopic silver particles that are suspended in the solution.
If you were to shine the same laser pointer light through a glassful of pure steam-distilled water instead, the beam would not show up at all because there would be nothing in the water for the beam to reflect off of. In science, this is called the Raleigh-Tyndall effect, and it’s precisely how researchers and scientists make sure the colloidal solutions they have prepared indeed have suspended colloid particles in them.
Be sure to read the Operating Instructions guide that accompanies your generator for safety tips and additional information on testing your colloidal silver.
QUESTION: What’s the difference in the size of the silver particles produced by other colloidal silver generators, compared to the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge?
ANSWER: While there are several good colloidal silver generators on the market today, many “cheapie” models (i.e., known as “mud makers” or “throwaway” units) can produce silver particles and silver particle agglomerates in the hundreds of nanometers in size (i.e., 200 nm or even larger). That’s because the manufacturers of these generators frequently fail to spend the money on the essential electronic components needed to properly balance the voltage and amperage in order to produce the correct wattage for making high-quality colloidal silver.
On the other hand, the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge is specially calibrated to produce silver particles as small as 1 nanometer—about as close to “dissolved” silver as you can get. Just as important, it’s designed to keep those particles consistently within the ideal 1-20 nm range, batch after batch.
In fact, the particles are so small that they require a high-powered Transmission Electron Microscope operating at a staggering 100,000x or more magnification to see them. By comparison, a typical red blood cell can easily be seen, with staining, under a standard optical microscope at only 1,000x magnification. So we’re speaking of a particle size that is many fractions of times smaller than an average red blood cell or a typical blood capillary.
To see a micrograph of the independent laboratory testing demonstrating the uncommonly small silver particles produced by the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, see this link.
Also, for a more extensive overview of what makes the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator so superior to conventional colloidal silver generators, be sure to read the report:
While there may be a handful of colloidal silver generators with more “bells and whistles” (i.e., switches, dials, etc.) than the brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, they are often complicated to operate, and even small mistakes can cause the production of poor-quality colloidal silver. The Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator has been specifically designed for simplicity and ease of operation.
There is quite literally no other comparable colloidal silver generator in terms of the size of the silver particles produced (which gives you maximum bioavailability) and the overall quality of the colloidal silver produced. This is what’s made the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator the world’s #1 best-selling colloidal silver generator for over 25 years! (And you certainly can’t beat the price, either, considering the fact that the generator pays for itself with the very first few quart-sized batches of colloidal silver you make!)
QUESTION: Can I use my new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator overseas, even though the voltage is different?
ANSWER: Yes, as long as you use the appropriate adapter for your plug. The Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator is designed for use between 120 and 240-volt current, at 60 Hz, and uses only about 5 watts of power. Universal adapters are widely available in electronics stores worldwide and through many online sources.
QUESTION: What does “ppm” mean?
ANSWER: It means parts per million. It’s a measurement of the total weight of the silver particles in your colloidal silver suspension. The higher the ppm, the more actual silver by weight is in your colloidal silver solution.
Many people mistakenly believe the “ppm” of a colloidal silver solution is an indication of its effectiveness, with low ppm being less effective and higher ppm being more effective. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, the true test of effectiveness for colloidal silver is the particle size, not the ppm.
The smaller the silver particles, the more effectively the body can absorb, distribute, utilize and afterward excrete them. Conversely, the larger the silver particles, the less effectively they’re absorbed, distributed, utilized, and excreted.
To learn more about particle size, as well as the ppm of colloidal silver, including the many misconceptions involved, see the following article:
I promise you’ll find it to be refreshingly educational and eye-opening.
QUESTION: How many parts per million (ppm) of colloidal silver will the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator produce?
ANSWER: The new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator distributed by The Silver Edge produces about 7-10 parts per million for every 3-4 hours the machine is allowed to run.
QUESTION: One website says you need to take at least 500 ppm to 3,000 ppm colloidal silver for it to be effective. They say this is the concentration used by doctors in all of the old medical studies back in the 1920s and 1930s. They also claim that making your own colloidal silver can be very dangerous and that the end result can be “poisonous.”
ANSWER: Back in the 1920s and 1930s, when the use of colloidal silver first began in earnest, doctors and researchers were simply not aware of the potential for damage to the kidneys and liver inherent in overly high concentrations of colloidal silver. Nor were they aware that much lower concentrations of colloidal silver were just as beneficial without all of the unnecessary risks.
A lot has changed since then. Doctors no longer recommend such excessive concentrations of colloidal silver because some of the patients treated with them during the 1920s and 1930s developed problems such as argyria (i.e., skin graying), indicating potentially toxic silver overload.
Later clinical studies showed that significantly lower concentrations of colloidal silver gave equally impressive results, particularly when extremely small silver particles were used rather than the much larger silver particles that are inevitably produced in more highly concentrated commercial colloidal silver solutions.
For additional documentation, see “Why Higher PPM Is Not Always Better.” The bottom line is that 500 ppm to 3,000 ppm is one heck of a load of silver particles on the liver and kidneys. We would never want to take concentrations that high, as they could lead to silver overload and eventual toxic buildup in the body over time, which some experts say can cause both liver and kidney damage.
That’s why responsible advocates of colloidal silver never recommend concentrations that high. In fact, most companies selling such highly-concentrated colloidal silver solutions tell you to dilute it thoroughly in water before ingesting it—using approximately one teaspoon of their highly-concentrated colloidal silver in an eight or 12-ounce glass of water. This effectively dilutes the silver solution to a level the body can easily handle without the potential for toxic overload—about 10 ppm on average, depending upon the concentration you started with. Anyone selling such highly concentrated colloidal silver solutions, and who fails to tell you to dilute it first, is potentially putting your health at risk, particularly if you plan on taking their silver solution regularly for extended periods.
As for the spurious charge that colloidal silver produced with a colloidal silver generator is somehow “poisonous” or “dangerous,” it always amazes us to see what some people are willing to say in order to sell their over-priced commercial brands of colloidal silver. These people often charge as much as $29 to $39 or even more for a tiny four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver, when in reality, fresh, pure, and unadulterated colloidal silver can be made for about 36 cents a quart! What a bunch of rip-off artists!
Of course, they have to give you some kind of scare story or try to bamboozle you with phony scientific-sounding jargon in order to convince you to pay a whopping $7 to $10 an ounce for their expensive commercial brands of colloidal silver, when you can make your own colloidal silver literally for pennies per quart.
Fortunately, as more and more people find out that fresh, pure, unadulterated colloidal silver can be made for only pennies per quart with a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, the fewer people these guys will be able to gouge with their overly-priced commercial brands.
QUESTION: On the internet, some colloidal silver vendors are claiming that the ionic form of colloidal silver is “largely ineffective,” and that only the particulate or metallic form of colloidal silver—which they call “true colloidal silver”—is effective. Since your generator produces the ionic form of colloidal silver, I’d like to know what the truth is.
ANSWER: First of all, all colloidal silver generators produce the superior ionic form of colloidal silver. The ionic form of colloidal silver is the world’s most popular form of colloidal silver and has been for over 60 years. That’s because it’s the active, infection-fighting form of colloidal silver.
While the term “colloidal silver” covers a LOT of different types of silver solutions—for example, ionic silver, particulate silver, mild silver protein, silver oxide, monatomic silver, silver citrate, silver hydrosol, and more—the vast majority of colloidal silver on the market today is of the ionic form.
The reason? Because ionic silver works the best, pure and simple. What’s more, all other forms of colloidal silver are ineffective against pathogens, except to the extent they’re converted to the ionic form inside the human body by acidic bodily fluids.
Claims that the ionic form of colloidal silver is “largely ineffective” are being made by a small handful of individuals on the internet who sell bottles of the far more expensive particulate form of colloidal silver, which they erroneously refer to as “true colloidal silver.”
So to convince people to pay through the nose for these over-priced particulate silver solutions, the vendors selling them try to denigrate the healing properties of their biggest competition, which is the superior ionic form of colloidal silver. It’s very deceptive, of course. But some people will apparently do anything for a buck.
Claims that ionic silver is “largely ineffective” fly in the face of over a century’s worth of clinical data, not to mention the personal experiences of millions of regular users of the ionic form of colloidal silver worldwide.
For example, every single one of the hundreds of real-life testimonials posted at the Colloidal Silver Success Stories website is from users of the ionic form of colloidal silver. If the ionic form of colloidal silver is “largely ineffective,” how did these people achieve the startling healing results they report?
And why do the vast majority of bona fide clinical researchers and medical experts agree that the ionic form of colloidal silver is the active specie of silver in terms of its infection-fighting capabilities? To learn why the world’s top experts all tout the healing virtues of ionic silver, see the following article:
In reality, independent clinical studies demonstrate that the ionic form of colloidal silver is up to 10,000 times more effective than the particulate form against disease-causing pathogens. You can read about one such study in the following article:
The bottom line is this: The very best colloidal silver is always pure, freshly-made, unadulterated ionic colloidal silver. Don’t fall for scare tactics and slick sales pitches disguised as “science” which are only designed to deceive you into paying excessively high prices for tiny bottles of commercially produced particulate colloidal silver that cannot even begin to compare in quality to fresh, pure, ionic colloidal silver made with a high-quality colloidal silver generator such as the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.
QUESTION: How much colloidal silver should a person take?
ANSWER: As a daily nutritional supplement, most people take between one teaspoon to one ounce a day, depending upon body weight. Because of FDA regulations, we can’t give specific dosage advice for infections or specific diseases.
To help you determine the right daily dosage of colloidal silver for your own body, based upon your body weight and the ppm of the colloidal silver product you’re using, consider obtaining a copy of the Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage Report if you haven’t done so already. It’s FREE by email. And you can get it here:
When taking colloidal silver for infections or disease, most people take about four times their normal daily dosage for up to a week or 10 days. While it’s beyond the purview of this short report to give specific dosages for specific diseases, one good source of information on colloidal silver usage is The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, published by Life & Health Research Group. It’s newly expanded to over 547 pages and has two fully detailed chapters on specific dosages for specific health conditions. You can purchase a copy by calling the company’s sales office at: 1-888-846-9029 or by visiting their website at the link above.
QUESTION: But colloidal silver is completely safe to use, right?
ANSWER: Nothing on earth is “completely” safe to use. As a silly example, one of the safest natural substances on earth is water. Yet ingestion of too much water can result in death. (This is called drowning.) There’s even a condition called hypernatremia caused by drinking too much water, and it can result in death.
Indeed, there’s no “completely safe” nutritional supplement on the face of the earth if a person uses it in excess. For example, experts say the mineral iron, if used in excess, will cause your body’s tissues and organs to accumulate iron, eventually resulting in heart disease and organ malfunction. It is said that the mineral selenium, if used in excess, will cause severe nervous system damage, convulsions, and even death. Similarly, the mineral calcium, if used in excess, will cause calcification of soft tissue within the body, cellular toxicity, and even heart disease. Excessive use of vitamin A can cause liver damage, anemia, and other problems.
I could go on and on, through each and every nutritional supplement on the market. But I think you get the picture. According to experts, all of the above-mentioned substances are highly beneficial to the human body when used within reason. And all of them are potentially harmful when used in excess.
As the physician, Paracelsus said back in 1529, “Toxicity is in everything, and no thing is without toxicity. The dosage makes it either a toxin or a remedy.”
Nutritional supplements—including colloidal silver—are used daily, for years on end, by hundreds of millions of people, with practically zero harm when used as directed, with common sense and sanity. But there’s not a single substance on earth that can’t cause harm to the human body at some excessive or obsessive level of usage.
The key to successful usage of nutritional supplements, including colloidal silver, seems to be common sense and moderation. Although colloidal silver is used regularly with no problems whatsoever by tens of millions of men, women, and children throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa, like any other mineral supplement, you absolutely must exercise common sense when using it. Using extremely high concentrations of colloidal silver or taking overly large amounts of colloidal silver for prolonged periods of time is not recommended.
Also, if you have a known serious allergy to silver, you simply should not use colloidal silver. Of course, serious silver allergies are extremely rare. One dentist told us he had never seen a case of silver allergy in the entire 15 years he had used silver amalgam to fill cavities. But such an allergy is certainly possible in rare individuals. Experts tell us that if your body reacts badly to silver fillings or if wearing silver jewelry makes your skin break out in a rash, you may have a silver allergy and should probably not use colloidal silver.
QUESTION: What about the Blue Man Syndrome, also called Argyria?
ANSWER: One of the very rare side effects caused by taking excessively high concentrations of colloidal silver, or by taking overly large amounts of colloidal silver for prolonged periods of time, is a cosmetic skin condition called argyria in which the skin can actually turn grey or even bluish-grey.
What happens is that while the human body is perfectly able to excrete small to moderate amounts of silver particles, when excessive amounts of silver particles are ingested for long periods of time, the body begins to push some of the excess silver particles out to the skin, where, upon exposure to sunlight, they oxidize (tarnish). This can cause a strange, blue-gray skin-staining, similar to a tattoo.
While argyria (also called “blue man syndrome”) is a strictly cosmetic condition and is not otherwise harmful, many researchers believe it indicates an excessive internal accumulation of silver particles, which can potentially cause toxicity to the liver, kidneys, and other organs if colloidal silver usage were to be continued under such circumstances.
Some colloidal silver users claim that taking 400 IU per day of vitamin E and 200 mcg. per day of the mineral selenium during periods of increased colloidal silver usage can help alleviate the toxicity problem. As Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., the famous natural health doctor from Tahoma Clinic in Washington state, has stated:
“Silver belongs to the family of metals that also includes copper and gold (both of which can also have numerous health benefits when they’re used properly). One of the primary concerns people tend to have about using these metals is the risk that they’ll accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal toxicity. But if you have plenty of antioxidants in your diet, such as selenium, vitamin E, and amino acids like N-acetyl cysteine, you’re safe from any harmful effects from this family of metals. Germs, however, are not.“
Additionally, people with poor elimination (bad liver or bad kidneys) might have an additional risk of buildup of silver in the body if they use more colloidal silver than their body is capable of eliminating. If you are unsure about using colloidal silver, be sure to ask your doctor about your particular situation.
But know this: Tens of millions of people around the world use colloidal silver without incident. The medical literature lists about 20 people who have “turned blue” from colloidal silver usage, and in every case, I’ve read about, the individuals were ingesting egregiously excessive amounts of colloidal silver on a daily basis, for months and even years on end.
For example, the so-called “colloidal silver blue man,” Paul Karason, admitted on national TV that he was drinking as much as 10 to 20 ounces of highly concentrated colloidal silver per day, and had done so for ten years before ending up with blue-stained skin. Contrast that with a typical daily colloidal silver dosage of one teaspoon to one ounce per day (depending upon body weight) and you can see why the “blue man” turned blue. He massively overdosed on colloidal silver every single day for ten straight years.
Avoiding argyria is simple: Don’t drink huge amounts of colloidal silver for long periods of time. The old saying your mother probably taught you—“moderation in all things”—is as true for colloidal silver as it is for any other substance.
And if you haven’t done so already, please don’t forget to obtain a copy of the FREE Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage Report, which explains how to calculate your maximum daily safe dosage amount based upon your own body weight and the ppm of the colloidal silver you’re using. You can obtain the report by email at no cost whatsoever at the link above.
Additionally, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, published by Life & Health Research Group, which is now a whopping 547 pages in length, covers in great detail many safety and dosage issues regarding the usage of colloidal silver and even reports on specific dosages for specific diseases. We highly recommend it. You can reach Life & Health Research Group, toll-free at: 1-888-846-9029. Or, learn more about this eye-opening resource online at the link above.
QUESTION: Will colloidal silver cure (XYZ) disease?
ANSWER: Because of FDA regulations, we really cannot answer such questions, except to state that by law, colloidal silver can only be sold as a nutritional mineral supplement, and not as a remedy for any specific health condition.
That’s why we strongly recommend the comprehensive 547-page book called The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, published by Life & Health Research Group, LLC. It has several full chapters offering synopses and documentation of virtually every major medical study conducted using colloidal silver to treat various diseases from 1897 to the present day, as well as the results of each study. It reveals how colloidal silver has been used in the past by doctors for specific infections and diseases. And there are also several full chapters on specific dosage information. The manual will answer many, if not all, of your questions on colloidal silver. Again, you can order it directly from Life & Health Research Group, by calling 1-888-846-9029 or learn more online at the link above.
