Colloidal silver has a long history in medicine as a natural antibiotic. It

is very effective in killing bacteria, fungi, parasites and apparently also

the cancer microbe. However, viruses appear to be killed only when the size of

the colloids is very small. No serious side effects from overdosing have

been reported.

Colloidal silver is most effective if it comes in direct contact with the

microbes. You may gargle with it for a throat or mouth infection, use it

directly on skin infections, use it as a douche or in an enema or colonic, or

spray-inhale it for lung infections. You may also soak a cloth in colloidal

silver

and keep it over any tumor that is close to the skin, such as breast

tumors. But most colloidal silver, except if made with special high-voltage

equipment, is actually ionic silver and forms insoluble and ineffective silver

chloride in the stomach. Therefore it is not suitable for treating infections

in

the blood or internal organs.

Colloidal silver is commercially available. Commonly the strength of the

solution is from five ppm up to 50 ppm in very concentrated remedies. However,

the effectiveness depends much more on the size of the colloids than on their

concentration.

You can also easily make your own colloidal silver. _Colloidal silver

generators_ (http://www.colloidalsilver.com.au/) are commercially available.

However, it is quite easy to build your own. Commonly 27 Volt are used to

produce

the colloid. For this connect three 9 volt batteries in series (positive to

negative pole) and solder an insulated wire to each end terminal. To the other

ends of the wires solder an alligator clip each. Buy 25 cm of pure silver

wire, .99 fine or purer, 1.5 to 3 mm diameter (from a precious metal dealer -

see Yellow Pages), sterling silver is only .9275 fine. Cut the silver wire in

half and attach to the alligator clips. It even works quite well with only

one nine volt battery.

Immerse the electrodes about 10 cm deep into a glass of water. Use distilled

water without the addition of any saline drops. A white mist may sometimes

become visible after about 20 minutes. If you do see this fine mist near one

of the electrodes, continue for 5 minutes longer. If you use only one 9 volt

battery or a 6 or 9 volt DC adaptor you may have to continue for about 1

hour. However, one of the electrodes may become black in the process and may

need

to be cleaned occasionally by wiping with a cloth. If colloidal silver is

made from normal drinking water or with the addition of a drop of saline

solution then mainly ineffective silver chloride is produced. The preferred way

to

speed up the process is by adding a small amount of colloidal silver from a

previous lot, or alternatively a drop of lemon juice or vinegar.

After each use rub the black oxidised electrode shiny clean. When making or

storing the silver water keep it protected from light as this will

precipitate the silver and make it ineffective. Preferably store colloidal

silver in a

dark glass bottle and in a dark and cool place. For more information on how

to make a colloidal silver maker and how to use colloidal silver see

excellent Australian

build anything and only use small amounts of silver as a maintenance dose you

may just keep some pure silver overnight in a glass of water.
