Colloidal Silver and Winter Vomiting Virus

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
The news media is rife with reports of a “winter vomiting virus,” also being referred to as the “winter vomiting disease.”

Apparently, the victims of this virus end up sick with projectile vomiting and sometimes explosive diarrhea as well.

The disease is apparently being spread to humans by a stomach virus called the norovirus, or “stomach flu virus,” which is described by health authorities as “a highly contagious virus that causes gastroenteritis, an illness that usually involves vomiting and diarrhea.”

Yecchh, right? 

But the real question is this:  Will colloidal silver help kill this nasty virus?  Here’s what we know so far…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

Probably my least favorite thing in the whole world – besides eating cooked liver, drinking a big swig of spoiled milk or getting bitten by an angry dog – is vomiting.

The idea of sitting there clutching the porcelain throne, writhing from uncontrollable nausea, while retching for hours on end is enough to scare me away from visiting anybody who says they’ve been sick and throwing up all day. 

Okay, except for my wife, or my mom.  Them I’d visit.  And console.  But I’d immediately ply them with colloidal silver if they could keep enough of it down to make a difference. 

And for darned sure I’d drink four or five ounces of the stuff, just in case the nasty virus decided to wander over my way during the visit.

The Bad News

Unfortunately, this year the news is reporting dozens of outbreaks of norovisus – the so-called “winter vomiting virus” – particularly in California. 

And to make the matter even more ominous, I’ve been getting reports from readers across the U.S. of entire families suffering from projectile vomiting and diarrhea.

So it’s quite possible this is going to be one of those winters in which strange viruses like the norovirus come out to play.    

According to an Associated Press news article:

Norovirus is highly contagious and usually triggers vomiting and diarrhea. It spreads through contact with an infected person, eating food or drinking liquids that contain the virus or touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then touching your mouth.”

Oh, joy.  Now I get to be paranoid everywhere I go this winter.  (Did I mention I really hate vomiting?)
 
And there’s more.  According to an article on Breitbart.com:

“Spread of the virus occurs rapidly with crowded environments most vulnerable. Examples to watch out for included, “hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centers, schools, cruise ships and food service settings like restaurants.”
 
Uh, huh.  Great.  So much for that post-Christmas trip to the mall I wanted to take.  And I think I’ll wait until this coming spring before taking my wife out for dinner to a crowded restaurant.  That won’t make her very happy.   But, then, neither would projectile vomiting. 

As the SurvivalLife.com website states: 

“The Norovirus  commonly known as the ‘stomach flu’ is one of the most infectious viruses around.  

It takes fewer than 20 virus particles to infect someone, so each droplet of vomit has enough virus to infect over 100,000 people.

In the United States, norovirus causes 21 million illnesses annually, requiring 70,000 hospitalizations, of which 800 result in death.”

That about clinches it for me.  I’m never going out in public again.

One thing for sure:  If I do venture out into public I’ll either first be coating my hands with a good colloidal silver gel (see my previous article Germ-Busing Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams), or…

…I’ll be taking my small spray bottle of liquid colloidal silver with me everywhere I go, and spraying just about everything before laying my hands on it, including silverware at restaurants, shopping cart handles in stores, door handles and other touch surfaces. 

Finally, the Breitbart article explains, “Those that have been sick can still spread the virus two weeks after recovering.”

Good Lord.  It looks like it’s going to be a long winter. 

But Here’s the Good News

I’ve actually written about norovirus and colloidal silver once before

It turns out that about five years ago, British scientists working in tandem with two international drug-makers, Janssen and Johnson & Johnson, have already tested the idea of using tiny silver particles against the norovirus. 

Now, to be fair, what the researchers did was attach silver particles to a harmless digestive bacteria.  Then they introduced the silver-impregnated bacteria into a population of norovirus.  And the silver quite handily destroyed the ability of the norovirus to cause infection. 

At the time, TheTelegraph, one of Britain’s most renowned news sources, wrote:

Scientists have discovered that they can attach tiny studs of silver onto the surface of otherwise harmless bacteria, giving them the ability to destroy viruses.

They have tested the silver-impregnated bacteria against norovirus, which causes winter vomiting outbreaks, and found that they leave the virus unable to cause infections.

The researchers now believe the same technique could help to combat other viruses, including influenza and those responsible for causing the common cold.”

Sweet! 

What’s more, according to Professor Willy Verstraete, a microbiologist from the University of Ghent, Belgium, who also worked on the project for the British drug makers:

"We are using silver nanoparticles, which are extremely small but give a large amount of surface area as they can clump around the virus, increasing the inhibiting effect.”

So it’s a proven fact that silver particles stop norovirus cold. 

But why impregnate the tiny silver particles onto harmless bacteria, first?  Why not just use a simple, all-natural colloidal silver product containing tiny silver particles?

According to Professor Verstraete, "There are concerns about using such small particles of silver in the human body and what harm it might cause to human health, so we have attached the silver nanoparticles to the surface of a bacterium. It means the silver particles remain small, but they are not free to roam around the body."

The Real Reason

If you think that sounds suspiciously like a phony excuse, you’re probably right. 

As one of my old mentors used to emphasize, there’s the stated reason, and then there’s the real reason.  And you always need to look for the real reason. 

In case you haven’t guessed it, the real reason the researchers went through so much trouble to concoct a silver-studded bacteria in their fight against the norovirus was because they wanted to create a “novel drug” that could be sold by the drug companies sponsoring their research.

You see, silver is a natural element.  It can’t be patented and monopolized by the drug companies, unless they come up with a new process, or a new form.  And that’s exactly what they were working on. 

As the article in The Telegraph stated, the researchers were “…now working with drug giants Janssen, and Johnson & Johnson, to further develop the technology…”

As I mentioned in my previous article on this topic:

Look…millions of people worldwide have been ingesting tiny silver nanoparticles in moderation for decades now, without undue harm or risk.

So the whole idea that silver nanoparticles need to be attached to something like dead intestinal bacterium so they can't "roam aimlessly through your body"…is nothing less than a spurious bugaboo…

As usual when dealing with the big drug companies and their researchers, rank deception and hypocrisy are the order of the day.”

Yes, you could just as easily -- and effectively -- drink some safe, natural colloidal silver and wipe out an intestinal infection caused by the norovirus. But researchers for the big drug companies simply aren’t going to tell you that. 

And why?  Because there’s no money in it for them.  That’s why.

Interestingly, in another study titled “Biogenic Silver for Disinfection of Water Contaminated with Viruses” -- this one using tiny silver particles to disinfect drinking water that’s been contaminated with viruses -- it was once again demonstrated that silver kills the dread norovirus.  The researchers wrote:

“…the transmission of waterborne human noroviruses is considered to be the major cause of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis.

Numerous outbreaks of norovirus-associated gastroenteritis have been linked with ingestion of contaminated drinking water, in developed countries also.

Therefore, the development of innovative drinking water quality control strategies is of the utmost importance in this decade.

The objective of the present study was to examine the inactivation of a bacteriophage and a norovirus isolated from hospital sewage, by biogenic silver…

…After 30 min of contact time, the murine norovirus could not be detected anymore (< LOD), entailing a decrease of at least 4.7 log (>99.99%).”

So 99.99% of the norovirus used in the experiment were destroyed by the tiny silver particles. 

A Korean study found similar results: 

We evaluated the antiviral efficacy of silver nanoparticles using a bacteriophage and a murine norovirus (MNV) under different environmental conditions  

This study demonstrated that silver nanoparticles are effective for inactivating bacteriophages and murine norovirus, a surrogate for human norovirus, in water.

The bottom line is that colloidal silver can be astonishingly effective against norovirus. 

As one norovirus victim wrote on the Mercola.com website: “I drank a half cup of colloidal silver and was better within hours.  Nipped in the bud it was.”

And according to the TotalWellnessCenter.com website, in an article about killing off the norovirus naturally:

“Colloidal silver 10ppm is a natural antiviral that looks & tastes like water. It will immediately begin killing off the virus in the stomach and digestive tract upon ingestion.

Adults take 1 teaspoon directly or added to a beverage every 2-3 hours until symptoms are completely gone.  Small children ½ dose.”

The Colloidal Silver Solution to Leishmaniasis Parasitic Skin Infections

 Learn to make colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
The parasitic skin infection known as Leishmaniasis afflicts some 12 million people worldwide, in 98 countries, with up to two million new cases reported each year. 

It’s an extremely painful skin condition which can lead to death if left untreated.  Indeed, there are some 20,000 to 50,000 deaths from Leishmaniasis each year, worldwide. What’s more, medications used to treat the dread disease are often toxic in nature. 

Leishmaniasis is endemic in many Middle Eastern countries from which refugees come to the west.  And western troops involved in Middle East conflicts often pick up this horrific, skin-eating disease, which is what spurred the U.S. Army to study silver as a potential solution.

Here’s what they learned…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

Breitbart, a well-known right-wing political site, recently posted this article about the potential for Syrian refugees bringing a horrific and potentially deadly skin disease called Leichmaniasis into the western nations.

When I posted a link to the article to the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community web page on Facebook, with the intention of discussing colloidal silver as a first-line defense against this parasitic skin disease for anyone afflicted with it…

…I was stung with a barrage of angry posts from readers accusing me of everything from “xenophobic fear-mongering” to “promoting vaccines.”

Some people – in a huff of self-righteousness -- even clicked “unlike” and quit following the community.  One stated, “I’m unliking your page for sharing political propaganda.”

In My Defense…    

Of course, the article I posted the link to doesn’t even mention the dreaded “v” word (i.e., vaccines).  Indeed, there’s no such thing, to the best of my knowledge, as a vaccine for parasitic skin diseases like Leichmaniasis.  So that’s altogether a non-issue

And whether or not the intention of the Breitbart article was to promote xenophobia (i.e., fear of foreigners) is up in the air as well, since the article isn’t a shrill call for a halt to immigration, but instead, a very reasonable call for better screening of refugee immigrants who might carry this infectious disease.

As for the charge that I’m “promoting political propaganda,” it’s a well-known fact that 12 million people around the world suffer from Leishmaniasis, and that the disease is indeed endemic in some 98 countries, including the Middle Eastern nations listed in the article.  It’s not “propaganda.”  It’s just simple factual data.

My point in posting the link was, and remains, that colloidal silver is a very effective solution to the horrific and potentially deadly problem of Leishmaniasis parasitic skin infections. 

And based on recent clinical studies – on of them by the U.S. Army -- silver may very well turn out to be the single-best all-natural front-line treatment for the disease, particularly for those whose health makes it impossible for them to handle the toxic prescription drugs so often prescribed for this disease. 

I suppose there’s nothing I can do about those can’t see that my intentions in publishing the information were honorable – as always, with the health and well-being of the afflicted as the uppermost thought in mind. 

When one’s political beliefs are so highly-charged that they can’t see the actual point I’m trying to make, but instead, have an instantaneous knee-jerk reaction of striking out to afflict as much damage as possible, well, what can I say but don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. 

Studies Demonstrating
Silver to Be Effective

As the Silver Health Institute has previously pointed out, the U.S. Army has already found that Leishmaniasis responds exceptionally well to silver treatment.  They wrote:

Leichmaniasis is a parasitic infection.  It shows up just under the skin as a purple rash and raises welts and boil-like symptoms all over the body. 

Soldiers in Afghanistan have been suffering from this infection and it has been very difficult to remedy.

The army hospital at William Beaumont Army Medical Hospital conducted a study on leichmaniasis, using structured silver liquid and gel. 

They found that drinking two teaspoons two to three times a day could destroy the parasite. 

The gel should also be applied two to four times as needed.  You can expect to see a benefit over the course of eight weeks.

Now, that’s quite astonishing, I think you’ll agree. 

After all, colloidal silver is usually not associated with stopping parasites, which are multi-celled organisms.  Instead, silver is mostly associated with stopping single-celled infectious microbes such as bacteria, fungus and even some viruses.

So this is breakthrough news.  And to my mind, it brings great hope to the 12 million people worldwide said to be already afflicted with Leishmaniasis. 

But it’s not new news by any means. 

Here’s what I wrote on the topic several years ago on The Silver Edge website, when I posted another study demonstrating silver to be effective against this infectious parasitic condition: 

"According to this clinical study, published in the International Journal of Nanomedicine in November 2011, researchers found for the first time that silver nanoparticles are effective against the Leishmaniasis pathogen.

This is a protozoan parasite that causes Leishmaniasis, a disease that is potentially fatal if left untreated, and which causes ulcers of the skin, mouth and nose, plus fever, anemia and enlarged spleen and liver.

Leishmaniasis is currently endemic in 98 countries worldwide, affecting some 12 million people.

The researchers demonstrated that silver nanoparticles significantly inhibited the infectivity of the Leishmaniasis pathogen, "inhibiting all biological activities of the parasite."

The study authors concluded:

‘Therefore, the authors consider a new approach, one that includes the application of silver nanoparticles on vectors that carry infective Leishmania promastigotes, may be offered in the near future, and that this may prevent the disease from spreading...

‘The results clearly show there is no need to apply high concentrations of silver nanoparticles for inhibiting amastigotes, and this may be very promising for the treatment of leishmaniasis…

‘Since leishmaniasis is spreading rapidly worldwide and because anti-leishmanial drugs have several disadvantages, the authors posit that treatment based on silver nanoparticles may have a very important role in overcoming leishmaniasis.’”

You can read the actual clinical study demonstrating that silver cures leishmaniasis, and that its anti-leishmaniasis activity can be enhanced with ultraviolet light, at this link

Very Good News

Overall, I think you’ll agree that this is exceedingly good news – not just for the 12 million people spread across 98 countries that suffer from this dread parasitic skin infection, but also for those in the west who might inadvertently be exposed to it through contact with infected refugee immigrants. 

If silver were used as a front-line treatment for Leishmaniasis, it’s likely nobody would have to die from this otherwise horrific flesh-eating disease. 

And it’s doubtful there would be any significant spread of the disease through immigration into the population of any host country, as well, if silver would be adopted as the front-line defense. 

And yes, I know some readers will read online that Leishmaniasis is only transmitted through the bite of sand flies, and not through person-to-person contact.  But in that regard, the RightDiagnosis.com website says the following:

Leishmaniasis is considered to be contagious between people. Generally the infectious agent may be transmitted by saliva, air, cough, fecal-oral route, surfaces, blood, needles, blood transfusions, sexual contact, mother to fetus, etc.

…“The contagious disease, Leishmaniasis, can be transmitted:

·        from person to person by blood.
·        from the mother to her fetus.
·        By way of flies or insects

Now, go ahead cue the howls of protests from both sides of the political spectrum, if you’d like.  But my job in these articles, and in my posts on the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community on Facebook, is not a political one. 

Instead, my self-imposed job, as a natural health journalist, is to promote solutions to pressing health issues.  And that’s exactly what I’m doing. 

Here are a few more pieces of interesting information that might be helpful in light of the situation:
  • Learn how to make your own colloidal silver gel for use on skin conditions, quickly and easily, here.
  • Learn more about the power of infection-fighting colloidal silver gels and creams, here.  
The real issue, for me, anyway, is whether or not colloidal silver can help people suffering from Leishmaniasis.

I don’t care whether they’re living in any of the 98 countries across the world in which this disease is common, or whether or not they’re refugees to western nations who might otherwise spread the infection. 

A little over an ounce of colloidal silver a day for about eight weeks, plus some good colloidal silver gel slathered on topically each day for the same amount of time, appears to be a simple, effective and relatively inexpensive solution to a potentially deadly problem.

And all sides of the political spectrum would benefit from this solution.  So please:  No more howls of protest. 

Try to see past your own political biases to the fact that a very painful, infectious and potentially deadly disease has an effective all-natural solution.  And that solution is SILVER.

Learn to Make Your Own
Colloidal Silver for Pennies…

Colloidal silver can be purchased at just about any local health food store, or through a number of online sources including Amazon.com.

However, it’s quite literally one of the most expensive and heavily marked-up natural supplements in existence. 

Health food store owners, for example, often charge as much as $20-$30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle.  Yet the cost to manufacture four ounces of colloidal silver is about 12 cents.  Yes, I said twelve cents

Thankfully, there’s no need to pay such exorbitant prices for colloidal silver, when you can make your own, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for about 36 cents a quart.

Yes, you can make it yourself for its actual cost, and altogether skip the high mark-ups at health food stores!

If you’re interested in learning how to make your own high-quality colloidal silver at home, for about 36 cents a quart, here are some additional short articles you might want to take a look at:

Using Colloidal Silver for Tinnitus?

 Learn to make colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Tinnitus, which is also known colloquially as “ringing in the ears,” can be an annoying affliction, to say the least. 

Experts claim it affects as many as one in every five people, worldwide, making it one of the most common of all afflictions. 

But researchers still argue over the cause, with some saying it’s brought on by exposure to loud noises or loud music, and others claiming it can be brought on by ear infections, inflammation in the ears, or even heart disease, brain tumors, head injury or excess ear wax buildup.

What’s widely agreed upon, however, is the fact that there are no known effective medications for the problem.  

Or, are there?  Interestingly enough, some people claim that using small amounts of colloidal silver on a regular daily basis has rid them of the pesky ringing in their ears.  Here’s what we know so far…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

In his bestselling book, The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health, Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD says on page 178:

"Eye or ear problems, including cataracts, glaucoma, redness, blurred vision, poor eyesight, ringing in the ears, earaches, soreness or swelling of the ears, eardrum damage, hardness of hearing, and (in rare cases) loss of hearing: Use 1 drop of colloidal silver topically (directly in the eye or ear) 3 times a day."

I don't have any personal experience whatsoever using colloidal silver for tinnitus.  But I noticed the following testimonial on the Colloidal Silver Success Stories page of TheSilverEdge.com web site:

"I have given the colloidal silver water to a friend who suffers from extreme tinnitus. The tinnitus disappears after drinking an ounce a day for about a week.

When the colloidal silver water is stopped the tinnitus returns gradually after about a week.

This has been tried about 4 times and each time the tinnitus stops and stays away as long as the colloidal silver is consumed daily and returns when the silver is no longer consumed.”

-- B.D., Kelowna, BC, Canada

It appears this individual did not use colloidal silver directly in the ears as per Dr. Young’s suggestion in his book, but instead, drank one ounce of colloidal silver every day. 

Another brief but interesting testimonial tells quite a similar story:

“While I took my daily ounce of 10 ppm colloidal silver, my arthritis pain disappeared and also the ringing in my ears.

I didn’t realize the ringing had stopped until I quit using the colloidal silver, and the ringing in my ears returned until I re-started my daily dose.”

 -- David F.

Testimonials like these make me wonder if relief of tinnitus would have been more-or-less permanent had the colloidal silver been used in the ears, sparingly, as per Dr. Young’s suggestion above, for a short period of time, such as for five days to a week. 

Here’s another interesting testimonial from a female tinnitus sufferer, which I found on the always helpful EarthClinic.com website:

“In the evening, before bed, with a rubber ear syringe, I gently squirted Colloidal silver in one ear, laid on the other side for 5 minutes, then absorbed the colloidal silver with a clean wash cloth as it drained out when I sat up.

Then I did the same to the other ear. The next morning, I used the same treatment with the colloidal silver but left it in each ear for approximately 30 minutes per ear. This has reduced the loud ringing/tinnitus approximately 90%.”

Again, I have no personal experience using colloidal silver in this manner for tinnitus.  And I’m not sure leaving that much colloidal silver in the ear for 30 minutes is such a wise idea, because of the potential for silver particles to accumulate in the ear.  But I can’t argue with the woman’s success in reducing her tinnitus by 90%. 

If it were me, however, I’d probably take a slower approach and try the one-drop-three –times-per-day technique recommended by Dr. Young in his book (see beginning of article), for maybe a week or so to see if it helps. 

Here’s another very interesting testimonial I found online, on the Topix Lyme Disease forum, from a gentleman who began using colloidal silver as a nutritional adjunct for his Lyme disease infection.  He found that as a pleasant side effect, his tinnitus began getting better:

“I was diagnosed with Lyme almost 4 months ago. I have been using colloidal silver along with antibiotics. I believe the colloidal silver is more powerful than any antibiotic there is and I am slowly building up my daily doses. I have many problems from the Lyme but my tinnitus has gotten better and my hearing seems to be coming back to almost 100%.”

Here’s another interesting testimonial, this one from the well-known CureZone.com website:

“I had a severe infection that cause my ear ringing to get horrible -- and it lasted about three weeks -- I thought I'd go nutsy.  It was awful.

Colloidal Silver helped.  I ingested it and put it directly in my ears (was a self cure; I don't know if any doctor would recommend it), and it worked!  It got rid of the terrible ringing that came with the infection.”

Colloidal silver used directly in the ears is also recommended, briefly, by readers on the What Doctor’s Don’t Tell You website: 

Finally, there was the gentleman last time who happened to mention, in passing, that he had tinnitus. Try some colloidal silver in the ear, and check your thyroid levels, says one reader, while another suggests infra-red treatment.

And the SurvivalistBoards.com website has another interesting testimonial:

After doing my own research I made my own colloidal silver.  The solution tested out to be in the range of 9 ppm.  I drank an ounce of my colloidal silver water daily for a week and used it on some cuts and scrapes...I also used it in my ears, tinnitus gone!

Finally, in the best-selling book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, by Phyllis  A. Balch, in the chapter on Hearing Loss, next to the section on tinnitus and it’s relation to hearing loss, one of the recommended nutritional supplements is colloidal silver.  Her brief mention simply states, “Can be used as ear drops for infection or inflammation.”

Why Would Colloidal Silver Help?

I’m conjecturing here, but my guess would be that if one’s tinnitus is caused by either infection or inflammation, colloidal silver *might* be beneficial, used either orally at the adult dosage of an ounce a day, or directly in the ear as per Dr. Young’s suggestion, at the rate of one-drop-three-times-per-day, for a week or so.

That’s because, of course, silver is known to be highly antimicrobial, as well as having anti-inflammatory properties.  So if there’s an ear infection, the colloidal silver can kill the microbes behind it.  Or if there’s an inflammation problem, silver might reduce the inflammation enough to stop the ringing.

If the tinnitus is not caused by infection or inflammation, however, but instead by heart disease, brain tumor, head injury, loud noise, ear wax buildup or other issues, colloidal silver likely would be of no help at all. 

I have to re-emphasize, all of that is pure conjecture on my part.  There have been, to the best of my knowledge, no clinical studies whatsoever on the topic of using colloidal silver to stop tinnitus. 

But based on the above anecdotal reports, perhaps simply ingesting a small amount of colloidal silver daily would help.  Or, a person might even want to combine that with Dr. Young’s suggestion, and try it for a week or so.

If you suffer from tinnitus, and choose to try either the oral dosage method described in the testimonials above, or Dr. Young’s recommended method of putting one drop of colloidal silver into the ears each day, please write and let me know your results after a few weeks trial.

You can post your experience to the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community on Facebook, and I’ll see it there. 

More Info on Using
Colloidal Silver in the Ears

If you’d like more information on using colloidal silver in the ears, here are two helpful resources:
  • I'd be remiss if I didn’t mention there's a nutritional supplement called Vinpocetine, which people use for memory problems, but which many people swear has helped get rid of their tinnitus. 
Vinpocetine works by bringing added blood flow to the brain (and ears) and helping cells generate cellular energy by producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP).  You can read more about this fascinating supplement at the link in the paragraph directly above.    

Our good friend, natural health journalist Tony Isaacs says B-vitamins – particularly B-12 -- can also be helpful against tinnitus, writing:

B vitamins help reduce and prevent inflammation. Vitamin B12 is considered to be essential for combating tinnitus because it is essential for the formation of the myelin sheaths that surround and protect nerve fibers. B12 deficiency can make nerves more susceptible to inflammatory damage.”

Learn to Make Your Own
Colloidal Silver for Pennies…

Colloidal silver can be purchased at just about any local health food store, or through a number of online sources including Amazon.com.

However, it’s quite literally one of the most expensive and heavily marked-up natural supplements in existence. 

Health food store owners, for example, often charge as much as $20-$30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle.  Yet the cost to manufacture four ounces of colloidal silver is about 12 cents.  Yes, I said twelve cents

Thankfully, there’s no need to pay such exorbitant prices for colloidal silver, when you can make your own, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for about 36 cents a quart.

Yes, you can make it yourself for its actual cost, and altogether skip the high mark-ups at health food stores!

If you’re interested in learning how to make your own high-quality colloidal silver at home, for about 36 cents a quart, here are some additional short articles you might want to take a look at:
Meanwhile, I’ll be back next week with another great article on colloidal silver….

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible use of colloidal silver,
