Even More Unusual Uses for Colloidal Silver

Millions of people use colloidal silver orally to help prevent or heal infection and disease. It has quite literally become known as “nature’s most powerful natural antibiotic.”  

Millions more use it topically, as well, to help heal cuts, scrapes and burns, and to help stop active topical infections dead in their tracks.

But experienced colloidal silver users have come up with some very unusual uses, as well.  In my previous article on this topic, I documented 12 of the most unusual uses I’d ever come across.  In this article you’ll discover 12 more…

Hi, Steve Barwick here for TheSilverEdge.com...

In a previous article titled “12 Most Unusual Uses for Colloidal Silver,” I documented a dozen offbeat uses for colloidal silver that I’d either experienced myself, or that readers had written in and tipped me off to.

In the following article, I’m going to document twelve more of these very unusual uses, in case you might ever have need for them. 

Indeed, I’m always researching new uses for colloidal silver.  So here’s some of the most unusual uses that I’ve seen come across my desk in recent months:

·       CPAP Machine Disinfectant – Colloidal silver user Sandie B., wrote, “I use colloidal silver in the distilled water reservoir of my CPAP machine, to keep the water pure and to prevent microbial growth.”   

For those who don’t know, a CPAP machine (i.e., “Continuous Positive Airway Pressure” machine) is a device that helps people with sleep apnea (i.e., a condition in which breathing stops during sleep) breathe more easily during sleep, and thus keep their body’s oxygen levels from getting too low.   

To do this, an air mask is worn at night, and the device increases air pressure in the throat in order to keep the airway open and oxygen flowing while the individual is sleeping. 

However, to prevent the soft tissues in the throat and lungs from drying out and cracking due to the added air pressure, a small amount of distilled water is usually added to a water reservoir in the CPAP device, and tiny amounts of this water are picked up by the air current which in turn helps keep the soft tissues in the throat and lungs moist. 

The problem is, sometimes the water in the CPAP machine, if not changed frequently, can get contaminated with bacteria, and CPAP users can end up with an upper respiratory infection or even pneumonia.  So a lot of CPAP users add a teaspoonful or so of 10 ppm colloidal silver to the distilled water in their CPAP reservoir, in order to prevent this from happening.

C.M.W., of Ohio, is another colloidal silver user who puts colloidal silver into her CPAP machine.  She states, “I have sleep apnea.  And when I go to sleep, I use a machine to help me breath thru the night. I add colloidal silver to the water reservoir. Since I started using it in the water my sinuses have cleared up. I sleep much better and do not struggle to breath now.”

·       Glass Cleaner – Colloidal silver user Jerry K. wrote to say, “I just discovered that colloidal silver is also a very good glass cleaner. Makes the glass squeaky clean just like Windex, but without nasty ammonia.”

That’s a wonderful discovery, of course, because ammonia has numerous significant negative effects on the human body.  It outgases, producing vapors and a pungent, suffocating odor that can be caustic to soft tissues in the nose, eyes, and especially the lungs.  It’s corrosive, as well.  It produces rapid skin or eye irritation upon contact.  And swallowing ammonia can result in corrosive damage to the mouth, throat and stomach. 

What’s more, inhalation of ammonia can result in a variety of respiratory ailments including bronchitis, asthma, coughing, and “farmer’s lung.”  And if ammonia is accidently and inadvertently mixed with bleach in the home, it can release toxic chlorine gas, which can be deadly. 

So think about the potential detrimental effects of ammonia when you go to clean your windows with a commercial glass cleaner.  Consider using a pump spray bottle to simply spray some safe, natural10 ppm colloidal silver onto the glass instead, and clean as normal!

·       Make Your Own Antimicrobial Silver Bandages – Colloidal silver user Don H., from Ohio, recently wrote, “I buy gauze bandages, and soak them in colloidal silver, then let them air dry. Anything I use them for makes for quick healing with minimum scars. I do the same with new socks!”

Now that’s a novel idea.  But actually, it’s very little different from purchasing silver-impregnated bandages online, or even silver-impregnated stockings. 

The only difference is that it’s the DIY (i.e., Do-It-Yourself) version. 

So you save tons of money over what you’d pay for the commercial products, and basically reap the same healing and infection-fighting benefits.  Bravo to Don for pointing this out!

·       Keep Plant Cuttings from Rotting – Colloidal silver user Elizabeth B., recently wrote, “I add about ½ ounce of colloidal silver to the water when I’m rooting plant cuttings.  No more stagnant water with rotted cuttings!”

Anyone who’s ever tried to root plant cuttings knows the biggest problem is controlling the fungus, mold or bacteria that can grow in the water and contaminate it, ultimately causing the cuttings to rot. 

But adding a tiny bit of colloidal silver to the water seems to solve the problem post-haste.  And as long as you don’t overdo it, there’s no harm to the root cuttings from the silver. 

While this is certainly an unusual use for colloidal silver, it’s not really a surprising one.  After all, gardeners have known for a long time that colloidal silver kills plant fungus.  If you’re a gardener, you might want to see my previous article, “Colloidal Silver Kills Plant Fungus, Produces Larger and Healthier Crops.” 

·       Natural Deodorant – Colloidal silver user Jill S., wrote, “Did you know that Colloidal Silver works great as a natural deodorant? No aluminum!”  And colloidal silver user Bonita S. wrote, “Among a lot of uses, we use colloidal silver as our exclusive deodorant!  It works wonderfully…even working in the hot sun in the South!”

She’s right, of course.  I haven’t purchased a commercial underarm deodorant spray or roll-on in over 15 years.  I simply use a pump spray bottle to spray some 10 ppm colloidal silver under my arms each morning, and nothing else. 

Of course, colloidal silver doesn’t have the perfumed smell to mask body odors like commercial deodorant products do.  But I’ve always been a bit sensitive to such chemical-laden perfumes and fragrances anyway.  So I don’t miss them at all. 

And I certainly don’t miss sopping my skin with potentially dangerous aluminum, which is a main ingredient in most underarm deodorants, and which has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, nervous system seizures, breast cancer, kidney problems, bone formation disorders and more. 

As Angela Kaelin writes in her great article titled “Make Your Own Natural Health and Beauty Products Using Colloidal Silver,” if you prefer a scented deodorant, it’s quite easy to make your own natural deodorant using colloidal silver and other natural ingredients to add fragrance and to soothe the skin.  Here’s what she says:

“Many people are very sensitive to the ingredients in commercial antiperspirants and deodorants. If you're sensitive or just want an alternative to dangerous aluminum-containing antiperspirants, try thoroughly mixing the following ingredients in an 8 to 12 oz. spray bottle:

2 - 3 ounces of colloidal silver
6 - 9 ounces of distilled water
8 to 10 drops of lavender oil
8 to 10 drops of rosemary oil
8 to 10 drops of sage oil

Sage has a light action as a natural antiperspirant. Perspiration odors on the skin are produced by bacteria. Colloidal silver works as an excellent antibacterial and is extremely beneficial to the skin as well.

Rosemary and lavender are not only aromatic, but they have profound soothing and healing properties, too.

Shake this mixture well before each application.”

·       Stop Stinking Up the Bathroom – Colloidal silver user Rob G. wrote to say, “If I stink up the bathroom while doing a number two, I use a pump spray bottle full of my homemade colloidal silver to spray into the air afterwards.  It removes the odor quite rapidly.”

Okay, that’s a weird one.  But I’ve tried it, and it actually works!

Let’s face it.  Everybody stinks up the bathroom from time to time.  The old trick was to keep a pack of matches in the bathroom, and if you stunk it up big time, then light a match or two and let them burn for a few seconds before snuffing out the flames and allowing the sulfur-laden smoke to rise from the quenched matches. 

But this was just a cover-up for the smell, which burning sulfur from the matches helps mask.  But spraying 10 ppm colloidal silver high into the air in the bathroom after a “stinky episode” and allowing it to drift down naturally throughout the room, seems to actually neutralize the smell. 

My thought on this is that the billions of tiny droplets of silver water sprayed high into the air in the bathroom actually absorb the smell into the silver as they drift slowly to the floor, much as charcoal absorbs odor. 

It seems to take about five minutes, in my experience, for the smell to subside after the colloidal silver has been thoroughly sprayed into the air throughout the bathroom.  But in the few times I’ve tried it after receiving the above tip, it’s worked for me!

·       Eliminate Mildew Odor in Wet Clothes – Colloidal silver user Kathleen S. recently wrote, “If you should have a basket of washed clothes that didn't get dried for a day or two and has developed a musky/mildew odor, just put the clothes in the dryer and add a wash cloth saturated with colloidal silver. Dry as usual. Odor gone!”

Wow…I don’t know how many times during my bachelor years I forgot to take the wet clothes out of the washer and dry them, only to find them smelling like mildew the next day. 

So I sure wish I’d have known about this nifty little trick back then. My wife does the laundry now.  And she’s pretty consistent about drying the clothes directly after they’re washed.  But I’m passing this handy tip along to her, just in case!

·       Hot Tub Replacement for Chlorine/Bromine – Colloidal silver user Nancy S. from Topeka wrote, “We have a hot tub. The water is treated with chemicals to keep it clean and sanitary. I always hated the smell and wondered what those chemicals were doing to my body. And if I had forgotten to treat my hot tub for a week or so it would start turning green and smell bad. Then I’d have to ‘shock’ the tub with extra chemicals. So I thought, if colloidal silver kills bad bacteria, then why not try it in the hot tub?”

Great thought!  Nancy S. went on to write:  “So a year ago, we drained the hot tub, refilled it and poured in a quart of 10 ppm colloidal silver. I doubted that it would work due to the fact that the tub is full of water from the hose with plenty of minerals in it.

But I’m quite amazed! My hot tub has remained pH balanced and clear as can be for the past year.  No green slime, no smell and best of all no chemicals. And my husband and I have noticed that we have not had any skin irritations.

One quart a week is all it takes.  And it’s much cheaper than those chemicals because we make our own silver water with your Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator!”

Folks, this is something I’ve tried myself, in my own hot tub.  And it worked like a charm for me.  I had a hot tub for ten years, and after the first year I never again used chemicals like chlorine or bromine in it.  Just colloidal silver.  And my results were the same as Nancy’s above. 

If you have a hot tub, and you’re concerned about the potentially toxic chemicals you’re always soaking in, you might want to try this, instead.

• Prevent Fleas on Both Dogs and Cats – Colloidal silver user Carol B., wrote, “I started putting a small amount of colloidal silver into the water bowl my dog and cat drink out of. Funny thing happened. They don't have fleas!  I would normally be forced to use the strong, spot-on flea pesticides early in the spring but I haven't used any at all this year. It's almost unbelievable, but it works!

If you’re a pet lover, like me, you’ll have to admit that’s certainly a very interesting use for colloidal silver. 

Several years ago, my Chow, Red Dog, got fleas, and they were making him quite miserable.  Because he had such thick hair, the traditional flea collar didn’t work at all.    I could forcibly separate the hair on his back or mane with my fingers and see the fleas crawling around on his skin in droves. 

So I made a quart batch of colloidal silver stronger than I’d normally use (i.e., about 30 ppm) and put it into a pump spray bottle and began spraying it topically on him, while rubbing it into his fur and skin.  I did this three times a day, for three days.  And by the third day, the fleas were gone.

Now, if I even suspect there might be fleas, I start giving my dogs an extra dose of colloidal silver, orally.  And so far, the fleas have left them alone.  If they ever do come back, I’ll simply apply the colloidal silver topically, as described above.

So there just might be something to Carol’s discovery.  I’d love to hear from other dog and cat owners on this particular use for colloidal silver.  Have you ever given your pets colloidal silver and noticed a corresponding decrease in fleas? 

·       Relieve the Pain and Inflammation of Insect Bites – Colloidal silver user Kathyn, from Singapore, recently wrote, “I’d like to share with you a recent successful experience a friend of mine had using colloidal silver to heal red, swollen hands and arms from sand fly bites.”

Kathyn went on to write, “Eddy, a friend, came over one evening.  He was in considerable distress with bites from sand flies to his hands and arms.

He had been out the evening before doing some photography on the beach. His arms and hands were red and swollen from the bites. Apparently the bites are worse than bee stings and can take a couple of weeks to recover from!

I immediately soaked some ‘cotton wool’ with the colloidal silver made with my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, and applied it to the red areas.

After a short time the stinging sensation subsided. I gave him some more colloidal silver to take home.  He applied cotton wool soaked in the colloidal silver to the bites, using surgical tape to adhere it overnight.

In the morning the swollen areas had subsided and the redness and swelling was gone. He was truly impressed and very grateful for the immense relief.

This may be one more application that colloidal silver can help, in terms of relieving great discomfort and suffering.”

Well, I’ve never experienced sand fly bites.  But this does remind me of a trip to St. John’s Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands my wife and I took over 10 years ago, to attend our daughter’s wedding. 

We ended up in a hotel room that was just a tad overrun with tiny spiders that were so small, you didn’t even know they were there until they bit you.  By the time I woke up after our first night there, my legs were full of painful spider bites, each of which were swollen and felt like hot needles in my skin. 

I immediately began spraying 10 ppm colloidal silver over the affected areas of my skin, and allowing it to air dry.  And within 20 to 30 minutes the pain began to subside as well as the inflammation around the bites. 

I had to spray the bites five or six times the first day to keep the pain away.  But by the second day, I only had to spray them two or three times for relief.  Thanks to colloidal silver, I could travel with the family and take the island tours without too much discomfort. 

I can only wonder at this point how much better it might have been if I’d have thought to soak some cotton or wool fiber cloth with colloidal silver and simply wrapped it around the areas of my legs where the bites were most prominent. 

Kathyn’s idea above, which worked for the painful sand fly bites, might have provided even more relief had I known about it.  But I’m not complaining.  Colloidal silver truly did save the day for me, just as it did for Kathyn’s friend!

·       Relieve Poison Ivy Symptoms and Promote Healing – Colloidal silver user Glenn G., from Georgia, wrote in to say, “Colloidal Silver saved my wife’s arm from a bad case of Poison Ivy.”

Glenn further stated, “We thought for sure there would be ugly scarring on her arm, the poison ivy was so bad. Doctor’s drugs were not working. Her arm was looking like a bad burn.  Thanks to Colloidal Silver she healed rapidly and no scars were left on her arm.”

Once again, while this use for colloidal silver is quite unusual, it’s not at all surprising that it would work. 

After all, several different studies have demonstrated the ability of colloidal silver to relieve inflammation by modulating excessive cytokine expression (see “Does Colloidal Silver Boost Immunity?” at this link for documentation.) And of course, the massive skin inflammation caused by contact with Poison Ivy is a result of excessive cytokine release in the body. 

As science writer Stephanie Wilson points out, “A substance from Poison Ivy called urushiol makes its way down through the skin where it’s metabolized.  Immune cells called T-cells recognize the urushiol metabolites as foreign substances.  They send out inflammatory signals called cytokines, which bring in white blood cells that become macrophages.  Macrophages eat foreign substances in the body, but in doing so they also damage normal tissue, resulting in the oftentimes serious skin inflammation that occurs with Poison Ivy.” 

According to journalist Francis Sedgemore, ““Silver has for centuries been used to treat and prevent infection, and its wound-healing properties are well known…But the new research...indicates that silver goes further than this and modifies cytokines, leading to reduced inflammation and an increased rate of healing.”

So the ability of colloidal silver to relieve the pain of Poison Ivy and to stimulate skin healing should not come as a surprise to us.  And of course, for those who might live in an area where Poison Ivy is prevalent, it’s sure great to know that this actually works!

·       Cures Mange on Pets -- Colloidal silver user M.S., from Oklahoma City writes, “We brought the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge along with us when we visited our son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons this summer.  I was shocked when I saw their dear dog, Pepper, who had the worst case of mange I’ve ever seen.  Big areas of skin were bare, scabbed and flaky and she would rub up against the house to scratch her sides from the tortuous itch.”

She continues, “Our son told us of all the trips to the vet for different remedies that didn't work.  Well, I got some canning jars and distilled water and made some micro-particle colloidal silver that day.  I told our son to get a spray bottle to spray her down that evening.  He did.

The next morning there was a noticeable difference in her skin - almost no flakiness and she looked a lot less miserable.  Each day we saw improvement and hair growth.  By the end of the week she looked happier and wasn't scratching.  Now her coat is perfect and glossy - back to her lovely self.”

This is unusual, of course, because colloidal silver is best known for killing infectious microorganisms like bacteria, fungus and even some viruses. 

But mange on pets is a skin disease caused by parasitic mites, known commonly as “mange mites.”  When an animal’s immunity is low, these mites can embed themselves in huge numbers in the animal’s skin, resulting in the loss of large patches of hair. 

Mange mites come in two basic varieties.  One variety, called Demodex canis, severely damages the skin of the animal by burrowing into the hair follicles and sweat glands to such an extent that infectious microbes such as Staphylococcus epidermidis can colonize the skin and spread, causing skin infection and hair loss.

And the other variety, called Sarcoptes scabiei canis, burrows into the animal’s skin causing a severe allergic reaction, resulting in intense itching, crusting of the skin and hair loss.

It would be interesting to know which variety of mange mite was afflicting the dog described above.  But the most important thing is that colloidal silver appears to not only relieve the intense itching and inflammation, but apparently also gets rid of the mites allowing the hair to grow back. 

As I explained in my previous article, “12 Most Unusual Uses for Colloidal Silver,” many insects (such as roaches, aphids, termites, fungus gnats, fruit flies and others) simply don’t like being around colloidal silver because their very lives depend upon tiny microbes they live in symbiotic relationship with. 

The silver, being highly antimicrobial, apparently threatens this symbiotic relationship between the microbes and the insects.  So when their “symbiots” are threatened, the insects leave the area out of self-preservation.

Could this be the case, too, with the mange mites?  I don’t know, for sure.  But for the sake of the dogs and cats that end up with this insidious condition, I’m certainly glad to know colloidal silver will help resolve it!

Startling, Life-Changing Results

Here’s just a tiny handful of the real-life anecdotal accounts taken from the Testimonials page of The Silver Edge website.

As you’ll see, reading through these testimonials will give you some eye-opening insights into how other colloidal silver users have achieved startling and sometimes even life-changing results with colloidal silver:

Wards Off Germs and Viruses, Heals Chronic Sinus Infections, Keeps Pets Healthy and Disease-Free, and Much More!

“I use colloidal silver every day, thanks to the supply I make myself with my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

I used to purchase quality colloidal silver at $21 for 4 ounces. At this cost, I wasn't able to experiment with it the way I wanted to. Those days are gone and now I am able to use it as much and how I want. Here are a few ways I use colloidal silver!

* Everyday, I take 1-2 tbsp. to ward off any germs or viruses I may come in contact with. I will take more (2-4 ounces at a time, 2-3 times a day) if I feel like something is trying to take hold.

* I have chronic sinus congestion & used to have chronic sinus infections. Now they are few and far between since I started putting colloidal silver into my NeilMed Sinus Rinse Neti Pot, once in the morning and once in the evening. I do two rinses at a time. The first one is according to NeilMed directions (no colloidal silver). The second one, I make 1/2 NeilMed solution (just a touch of the salt) & 1/2 colloidal silver. As long as I am consistent in doing this, I have no infections. If I get lazy and skip this routine a few days in a row, I'm doomed!

* I put a drop or two in my eyes 1-3 times a day whenever they feel scratchy due to allergies. It's amazing how fast your eyes feel better, and sometimes all it takes is one dose!

* My daughter felt a sty coming on so she put 2 drops of colloidal silver, twice a day in her eye for a couple days, and the sty never developed!

* A tongue piercing healed quickly using Colloidal Silver. Between rinsing and applying "drops" directly onto the piercing, pain and inflammation were drastically reduced. We also noticed the healing time was shortened! Rinsing was done 2 times a day & the drops were applied 2-3 times a day until the piercing was healed. All piercings that we have used Colloidal Silver on have benefited in this way.

* I keep some Colloidal Silver in a spray bottle so that I can spray it around my house in the air, and on surfaces to kill germs. (Especially when someone enters my house that has a cold or some other illness!)

* I sprayed Colloidal Silver on a burn that I received from my oven and was really amazed how the pain quickly subsided. I sprayed the burn 2-3 times a day. * I have used Colloidal Silver on various cuts, scrapes, and cat scratches I've received, instead of using Neosporin or Bactine. No infections! I use a spray bottle or a Q-tip to apply.

* Periodically, I soak my fingernails in a small bowl of Colloidal Silver for about 10 minutes. This kills any bacteria, germs, or virus's that may be hiding under the nail.

* I have put a few ounces in my humidifier/vaporizer at night to sanitize the air and breathe colloidal silver into my lungs to help break up chest congestion. If I feel Bronchitis coming on, I will also use the humidifier/vaporizer during the day and increase my internal dose up to 2 ounces, 3 times a day.

* An upset stomach or diarrhea goes away quickly using colloidal silver. Depending how bad it is, I have taken 2-4 ounces at a time, up to 4 times a day. It works great!

* My pets, my gosh! I simply cannot afford to take my pets to the vet for every little thing that comes along such as an eye infection, ear infection, skin irritations & abscesses. I own 5 cats & 1 dog, and treating my pets with Colloidal Silver has saved me tons of money! Here are a few examples:

* My cats are indoor/outdoor cats, therefore they are always getting into something. I make sure that each cat gets a dose of Colloidal Silver at least 3 times a week. I put 1/4 teaspoon into a shot glass, siphon it into a medicine syringe, then directly squirt it into their mouths. They each have their own syringe, and this way I know that each one of them have gotten their dose, along with their individual supplements that I give them.

* My cats also love plain yogurt, so some days I just put the Colloidal Silver in the yogurt! If my cats act like they’re not feeling good, I will give them Colloidal Silver everyday, 2-3 times a day, at the above dosage. It hasn't failed me yet!

* Eye infections, due to irritants or a scratched eye, can be common. I use a dropper to put 1-2 drops of silver in their eye. I do this 2 times a day for 2-3 days (longer if needed). Their eye will be noticeably better after only 1 treatment!

* One of my cats had allergies, and will develop areas of skin irritation on his body. Depending where the area is, I will either spray Colloidal Silver or apply it with a Q-tip to the irritation once a day. Once I get the irritation under control, I only need to apply it every other day to keep it that way!

* One of my other cats had been in a fight. Unknown to me, he developed an abscess. When it finally broke open, it was horrible with nasty green pus coming out of it. I immediately did a Colloidal Silver wash on it, using a medicine syringe to apply the silver.

I did this twice a day for the first few days, along with 1 teaspoon of silver internally twice a day. I then reduced both treatments to once a day for a few more days. The abscess quickly cleared up and my cat was back in action!

* I have a Golden Retriever that will develop ear infections every summer due to excessive swimming. In the past I would treat him with medicine from the vet. He basically would be on this medicine all summer since we have our own pool, and would swim almost every day.

Now I treat him with Colloidal Silver! After he's done swimming for the day, I put 3-4 drops into each ear, massage the base of his ear for a minute or two, then let him shake his head. No more infections!

* My Golden Retriever (90lbs.) also gets Colloidal Silver 3 times a week. I give him approx. 1 1/2-2 tablespoons in his yogurt.

There are so many ways that I use Colloidal Silver that I haven't mentioned, due to the fact that I simply don't have enough time right now!

I have found that it's OK to experiment with a dosage to find what works for me because there is no set rule, just common sense.

The Colloidal Silver I've spoke about and use is 7-10 ppm concentration and is made with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator which I purchased from The Silver Edge.

I love it & consider it to be one of the best investments I've made!  Due to my recommendation, a few of my friends have purchased the same generator, and they also are very pleased with their purchase!”

          -- Diane L., Erie, MI

Diane’s story is like many of the stories you’ll read on the Testimonials page of The Silver Edge website. 

You see, people stumble across references to colloidal silver on the internet, or are told about it by friends or relatives, and decide to try some. 

And once they see how astonishingly effective it is for such a multitude of uses, they can’t help but tell everybody else what they’ve discovered!

Here’s another real-life anecdotal account from a very happy colloidal silver user:

Stopped Eye Infection and Yellowish Pus Discharge! 

“I had an eye infection starting. My right eye was red, itchy and had a bit of yellowish discharge. There was a small boil right on the eyelid. 

So I dunked my eye into some micro-particle colloidal silver water several times over the course of the evening.

The next morning the pus and redness was gone but the boil was still there. So that day I dunked my eye every hour and drank several ounces 3 times.

The next day everything was absolutely normal…no redness, no pus, no boil. 

I have also 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.

Interestingly, 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 water is consumed daily and returns when the water is no longer consumed.” 

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

As you can see, colloidal silver has some very interesting uses.

We’ve even heard from people who’ve been able to completely eradicate their fibromyalgia pain by taking a few teaspoons full of colloidal silver a day.

And onee lady said she was able to get rid of the excruciating pain from cancer she had been experiencing, which even the drugs from the doctor couldn’t control…

And another individual told of being on a hunting trip and cutting himself to the bone with a hunting knife by accident.  Being unable to hike out due to the snow, he wrapped a cloth soaked in colloidal silver around the wound, and waited out the bad weather, changing his makeshift dressing every day and soaking it in more colloidal silver. 

No infection ever set in.  And when he was finally able to leave three days later, he went to the hospital, only to discover the potentially lethal wound was healing so well he didn't even need surgery! 

Here’s another account from an experienced colloidal silver user who keeps finding more and more uses for this powerfully effective infection-fighting natural substance:

“We’re Getting Used to the Everyday Miracles This Stuff Can Do!” 

“Where do I start? For any type of virus or bacteria, this stuff works; you see really fast results.

If anyone in my family is starting to get a sore throat, they know where the silver is.....it takes care of it in no time!

Since I have been spraying my gums after brushing my gums have improved greatly. I get regular dental care, brush regularly, but do not floss as much as I should. My dental hygienist was amazed at the improvement in my gum's health.

What’s more, I had a gap at the back of a crown, and my gums have 'grown' back enough to cover the gap completely!

I use this micro-particle colloidal silver on everything and anything. I KNOW it is perfectly safe, so I feel confident to recommend it to everyone.

I spray my face after shaving....no more 'rash' from my electric shaver!

As long as you use good distilled water, you make a good product; it is as simple as that.

Oh yea, one other thing. I had Pink Eye over a year ago, and I sprayed it right on my eye, perhaps 3 or four times, and my Pink Eye was gone the next morning!

My daughter got it a year later and it worked as easily for her as well. I guess we are just getting used to the everyday miracles this stuff can do!

Thanks for your great technology....it is worth every penny......and then some! I am happy to recommend your product to all. Best regards,”

Once again, you can see that the wide array of uses for colloidal silver make it an absolute must-have in any family household. 

And it’s not just for people.  It works wonders for pets, too, as you’ll see in the next anecdotal account:

Controls Chronic Infections in Horses; Helps Stop My Colitis Flare-Ups! 

“I use the colloidal silver for many things. I'm a farrier and I give it to customers for clearing up thrush in horse’s feet.

It has controlled chronic infections in a number of horses I treat. It’s been successful in treating summer itch which is a fungal infection that horses get in warmer weather.

I use it myself for athlete’s foot, skin injuries, as a mouth wash, and just about any external injury.

I have ulcerative colitis and it has proven to be successful in ending flare-up by using colloidal silver in an enema. I also use it as a cleaning agent in the kitchen & bathroom.

Thank you for providing the endless opportunities and uses for your product.”

          -- Philip S., Littlerock, CA

While colloidal silver is not a “cure all” by any means, you’d be hard-pressed to convince some users of that. 

Many have experienced a complete end to the incessant barrage of infectious illnesses they’d previously been plagued with.

Here’s a colloidal silver user who says no one in his family has been sick since they discovered colloidal silver:

“My Family Hasn’t Been Sick Since We Started Using the Colloidal Silver!”

“Colloidal Silver has been a Godsend to my family.

When my son came down with mono and I researched it I started giving him 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1 at night.

Within 3 days he was fine. The doctor had told us there was no cure for it. This sold me on the product.

I was starting to feel bad around the same time and none of my old remedies were working. So I tried colloidal silver also. I took the same amounts I’d given my son, day and night, and it worked like magic.

After that I purchased my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator and the rest is history. My family has not been sick since.”

          -- P.A., Dodge, TX

The really neat thing is, when you discover how to make your own colloidal silver with a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com, you’ll immediately be able to make it for less than 36 cents a quart, rather than paying health food store vendors $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle. 

By making it so inexpensively, the number of effective uses you’ll find for it will skyrocket. 

In fact, it’s so easy to make, you’ll literally find yourself giving away quarts of your colloidal silver to friends and family members with health problems, because the results are often so astonishing you’ll want everyone to experience them!

Some folks have even written to say their house has become the most popular stop in the neighborhood for sick friends, relatives and neighbors, because sooner or later everyone on the block hears at least one of the astonishing stories of healing other neighbors are telling!

Here’s another example:

Healed Swollen, Infected Eye; Cured Earaches; Healed Strange Hole in Skin that the Doctor’s Medications Couldn’t Fix! 


“One morning my 8 year old granddaughter woke up with her left eye all swollen and full of pus, it was almost totally closed up.

Her mother soaked a wash cloth in the colloidal silver I keep them generously supplied with, made with my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

Breanna held the wash cloth on her eye for 20 minutes, when she removed it the swelling was gone and her eye was all cleared up and the problem did not return.

On 2 different occasions my 8 year old granddaughter complained that her ears were hurting her. Both times her mother just put 3 drops of colloidal silver in each ear, (made with the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator).

She had Breanna lay on her side for at least 10 minutes with each ear facing up so that the silver had time to work and not just run right back out. This was done twice a day for 2 days and the problem was gone.

While trimming her toe nails one day my sister discovered a hole in the skin between her baby toe and the next toe, she could actually stick the end of a Q-tip into it. She hadn’t felt any pain from it so I guess that’s why it took so long to notice it.

She showed her doctor and he said to put some Lamisil Antifungal Cream on it several times a day. Janie applied the cream 3 to 4 times a day for 3 weeks with no results at all. The hole did not get any bigger but it also was not getting any better either. She was very discouraged.

I suggested she try using the micro-particle colloidal silver I had given her, which I made with my generator bought from The Silver Edge.

So she stopped using the cream and began only using the colloidal silver by putting a cotton ball between her 2 toes to hold them apart and then used a glass eye dropper to put drops in the hole.

Janie would let it air dry before removing the cotton, but if she was in a hurry she used the hair dryer to blow it dry. She would do this whenever she thought about it throughout the day and being it was summer and warm out, it was quick and easy to do because of being able to wear open toed shoes and no socks to remove each time. 

In addition to the topical applications, she also was drinking 1 ounce of the colloidal silver 3 times a day.

After just several days she could see the hole was definitely healing and beginning to close up. Soon after that it had completely healed and the problem has not returned.”

          -- S. Glentz, MI

As you can see, once you start using colloidal silver you’ll find it will become an indispensible item in your family and household. 

You can spray it on bug bites to instantly relieve the pain and avoid infection…you can drink it orally to stop tummy bugs or even food poisoning…

…you can pour it in your bath to soothe and heal skin eruptions…you can even safely put it into your eyes and ears to heal eye infections or earaches…

…and you can put it in a nasal spray bottle and sniff it up your nose to heal sinus infections virtually overnight!

Cures My Athlete’s Foot Blisters and Healed My Husband’s Sore Tooth!

“For approximately 1 ½ years I’ve owned one of your Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generators.

I also have a copy of The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual from Life & Health Research Group.

Here are a couple of specific stories I can share with you:

First, I often get athlete’s foot, especially in the summer when it’s hot and I have to wear shoes, for example to work in my flower garden…

…The athlete’s foot seems like it can strike overnight! I will even get blisters between my toes and the itching almost drives me crazy!

But since I have your generator I can make and use as much silver as I want at a fraction of the cost.

So when these “attacks” happen, I use a glass 8x8 cake pan and put 2 cups of full strength colloidal silver in it.

I then soak both my feet at the same time. I wear a size 7 shoe and put the pan at an angle in front of me, it being a diamond shape not a square. My big toes are in the top point and my heels in the bottom point. They fit perfectly.

I soak them for at least 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening, after my shower. Usually the first couple of soaks will relieve the itching, and within 2-3 days the blisters are healing nicely. I use the same silver for 2 soakings and then discard.

My #2 story involves my husband. He is quite a skeptic regarding colloidal silver. But he was having a terrible toothache and absolutely hates going to the dentist (a childhood fear).

So I suggested that he take an ounce of full strength silver into his mouth and keep it on the tooth as long as he could (at least 2 minutes). He would did this as well as “swish” it around. He started doing this every couple of hours and would then spit it out.

After a couple of days he noticed less pain and little by little he lessened the times he used the silver down to three times a day.

It took about one month but the pain completely subsided and it did not reoccur and he did not even have to go to the dentist.

He is now a “silver” believer! Daily, usually before bed, he will take 1 ounce of colloidal silver into his mouth and swishes it around and then swallows it (for maintenance).

Any time either of us get an irritation in the mouth, be it an accidentally bitten cheek or tongue, or sore gum, colloidal silver is what we reach for.”

          -- J.K., Presque Isle, MI

Another happy colloidal silver user tells us she’s had no colds, flu or infections since she’s been using colloidal silver. 

And what’s more, it’s helping her sleep better, too! Here’s her story, in her own words:

No Colds, Flu or Infections; and I Sleep Better, Too! 

“I bought a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver generator from The Silver Edge, and I am so glad I did!

The generator is very easy to use. I make a quart at a time at a cost of about 36 cents a quart. It saves me so much money over buying commercially manufactured colloidal silver.

I started taking Colloidal Silver to help fight off colds, flu and any other viruses and infections that I possibly might get.

It has done the job! This fall and winter I have not had a cold, flu, or any kind of virus or infection. And I’ve been around many sick people with colds and flu!

I had a surprise benefit shortly after starting to take Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver. I have been a chronic insomniac for several years. I take a medication that helps me get some sleep but not nearly enough.

But when I started taking the Colloidal Silver, my sleep time increased by an extra 1 1/2 to 2 hours. That much time increase in my sleep is of a very great benefit to me as anyone who never gets enough sleep well knows.

I take one to two teaspoons of Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver (10 ppm) daily in the evening.”

          -- J. G., Hendersonville, NC

The list of benefits of colloidal silver can be overwhelming, until you use it and see for yourself. 

You’ll soon find yourself spraying your kitchen sink, cutting board and bathroom surfaces with it to safely kill infectious microorganisms…

…spraying some on your toothpaste each time you brush to kill mouth and gum bacteria and eliminate plaque…using it as an underarm deodorant…

…spraying it on your garden plants to eliminate fungal disease and root rot…gargling with it instead of mouthwashes for fresh, clean breath without having to use potentially harmful chemicals and alcohol…

…spraying it on your head to eliminate dandruff…spraying it on cuts and burns to stop the pain almost instantly, speed up the healing process and prevent infection from setting in…

…hold it in your mouth over a sore tooth or gum to kill the infection and even save yourself from a painful root canal…

…you can even put it into your humidifier or cool mist vaporizer to eliminate infectious microorganisms in a room or help a sick family member breathe easier!
