Reason #5 to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver: You’ll Always Enjoy Instant Access to Colloidal Silver Whenever You Need It Most!


If you’ve been using colloidal silver for even a moderate amount of time, you’ve probably experienced a situation in which you really needed some quickly, but didn’t have any handy.

So maybe you had to leave the house in a mad dash, and drive to your local health food store to get some, hoping they still had your favorite brand in stock. Or you had to order it over the internet and wait a week or longer to receive it.

But with a high-quality colloidal silver generator in your home, you’ll never again have to worry about running out of colloidal silver at an inopportune time, such as when you’re coming down with a cold, or one of your children have picked up a tummy bug, or you go out for dinner and come home with a nasty case of food poisoning.

Instead, you can simply break out your handy colloidal silver generator, plug it in, and start making colloidal silver right then and there, when it is needed the most!

As a family man, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been thankful over the past 16 years that we’ve had our own home colloidal silver generator when unexpected health crises have struck, and we’ve been able to brew up a batch quickly and easily in order to nip a potentially serious health problem in the bud.

What’s more, because we’re in business and frequently eat out when meeting new clients, we are constantly exposed to pathogens far in excess of what you might be exposed to at home.

As you likely know from the newspaper headlines, restaurant foods are notorious carriers of pathogens, and many tons of restaurant foods -- ranging from meat to lettuce to fruits and vegetables -- have been re-called by the FDA in recent years due to excessive microbial contamination.

So we’ve had more than our fair share of battles with “tummy bug” infections and outright food poisoning over the years. It is much more common than you might think if you don’t eat out a lot.

But in each instance we’ve been able to brew up a nice, fresh batch of colloidal silver directly after the food poisoning symptoms started, and stop the problem dead in its tracks.

This has saved us hours (or even days) of pain and turmoil and lost work, not to mention money saved from not having to incur doctor’s bills.

And it has also allowed us to feel a lot safer when we have to travel on business and eat out.

We know if anything goes wrong, we always have our handy colloidal silver generator to solve the problem!

Reason #4 to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver: No Hidden Fillers, Dyes, Protein or Gelatin Coatings, Or Other Additives!

When you make your own colloidal silver, you eliminate all hidden fillers, dyes, protein coatings, gel coatings or other additives and “stabilizers” used by commercial vendors.

You get pure colloidal silver every time, because you’re in control of the entire colloidal silver production process.

Believe it or not, many unscrupulous commercial colloidal silver vendors actually add ingredients to their colloidal silver products that don’t appear on the label.

For example, some add yellow food coloring. That’s because they know that novice colloidal silver users are under the misguided impression that “golden-colored” colloidal silver has more powerful infection-fighting qualities.

Nothing could be further from the truth, of course. There has never been a study demonstrating that golden-colored colloidal silver is superior in any way to colloidal silver that is crystal clear. But this little piece of conventional “wisdom” persists, and some commercial colloidal silver vendors try to capitalize on it by adding yellow food dye to their product, to make it appear golden-colored.

The problem is that any time you add an ingredient to your colloidal silver – whether it is any of the popular additives such as salt, baking soda, MSM, aloe vera or even food dye – you create a condition in which the silver particles begin to bond together in large clusters around the additive.

That’s because the additive changes the electrical potential of the silver particle, allowing particles that would normally repel each other in the solution to bond with each other instead, forming large particle clusters.

This generally causes premature precipitation of the silver particles (i.e., the silver particles begin to fall out of suspension and coat the bottom of the bottle), not to mention the fact that you are ingesting overly large silver particle clusters instead of the far more effective individual silver micro-particles you really need for maximum infection-fighting power.

In other documented cases, colloidal silver vendors have added protein or gelatin coatings to their silver particles, ostensibly in order to help stabilize them in the solution.

The resulting problem is that those coatings so completely cover the silver particles that microbial growth begins to spread on the outer shell of the coating. The silver particles can’t kill the microbes because they are coated so thoroughly by the gelatin or protein. Therefore you actually get microbial growth inside of a colloidal silver product!

But that simply can’t happen when you make your own colloidal silver with a high-quality colloidal silver generator.

Each of the literally billions of sub-microscopic silver particles in your solution are “raw,” meaning they are not coated by any substance or bonded to any substance. It is simply pure silver, and nothing else. And therefore microbial growth simply cannot take place in the solution.

Reason #3 to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver: The Freshness and Potency Is Always In Your Hands Rather Than Some Vendor’s!


By making your own colloidal silver fresh, you can rest assured it has not been sitting in some hot warehouse for six months before being shipped to your local health food store, where it sits on the shelf for another six months losing potency before it is sold to you.

When you make your own, it is fresh every time. The electrical charge on every particle of silver is at its peak.

Here’s a dirty little secret most commercial vendors don’t want to tell you:

To get the best prices, people selling commercial brands have to purchase huge quantities of colloidal silver at a time from a manufacturing plant.

These huge quantities are usually sold to them in 55 gallon drums that are later shipped to a contract manufacturing laboratory where the colloidal silver is bottled up in those tiny four-ounce or eight-ounce bottles, and then shipped back to the vendor in cases of 12 or 24 bottles.

This inventory then sits in a warehouse, through summer heat and winter cold, while it is slowly being sold off, case by case, or bottle by bottle to the various health food stores or internet vendors, who in turn sell it to colloidal silver users like you.

Since all electrical charges in nature dissipate over time, and do so even faster when exposed to hot or cold, you have no idea how much electrical charge is left on the silver particles once you’ve finally purchased a bottle.

Why?

Because you have no idea how long that colloidal silver sat in a 55 gallon drum before being bottled…or how long that bottle sat in a hot or cold warehouse…or how long it sat in a UPS truck in the depth of winter or the heat of summer during shipment…or how long it sat on a store shelf before you purchased it.

But when you make your own colloidal silver with a high-quality colloidal silver generator, you can make it fresh every time for just pennies per batch.

You never have to be concerned about whether or not the product was already five months old, or ten months old, or fifteen months old or even 24 months old when it was finally sold to you.

You can make it fresh every time you need some, or you can simply throw out batches at three months, six months, or a year, or whatever makes you comfortable.

(I throw mine out after a year, even if there is no evidence of silver particles settling out of suspension. But I don’t waste it. I toss it into our hot tub for added protection from microbial growth, or put it in the dog’s water bowl, or even use it in the laundry to help keep bedding, towels, dishrags and underclothing fresh and microbe-free longer.)

Obviously, throwing away colloidal silver is something one might be reluctant to do if you have paid up to $30 or more for a tiny 4-ounce bottle from a commercial vendor.


If you’re unsure of the freshness or potency of a batch you’ve made previously, toss it out into the garden (yes, plants love it) and make a fresh new batch for yourself for just pennies, and use that instead!

Reason #2 to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver: You Won’t Get Ripped Off By Con Artists Selling Diluted Colloidal Silver Solutions!


In recent tests only about 43% of the bottled colloidal silver products tested contained the actual concentration of silver listed on the label.

Most commercial brands tested contained far less silver than stated on the label. And some contained no silver particles at all!

In fact, one manufacturer who got caught selling colloidal silver with no actual silver particles in the solution later claimed he had put the “vibrational pattern” of the silver in the water, and thus felt he had no need to add actual silver particles.

Hey, that’s fine with me, as long as the product was advertised and labeled as containing no actual silver particles. But don’t expect too much from a product like that in terms of aiding your health and well-being!

Now don’t get me wrong: I’m a big fan of homeopathy. But even homeopathy starts with the actual substance, and then takes it through a multi-step dilution process.

These guys later admitted that they “translated the vibrational pattern” of silver particles into music (yes, music) and then transferred the same pattern into the water by playing the music as the water was being bottled.

Yes, they called this “colloidal silver.” But maybe they should have named it “musical water.” As Sponge Bob says, “Good luck with that!”

This is why it is so important to make your own colloidal silver. When you make your own colloidal silver with a high-quality colloidal silver generator, you control the concentration.

Depending upon which type of colloidal silver generator you buy, you can make 5 ppm, or 10 ppm, or 20 ppm, or even hundreds of ppm if you prefer.

But you always know exactly what you’re getting, every time you make it. You can’t get scammed, unless you plan on scamming yourself!

The bottom line is that in order to avoid being ripped off by greedy vendors, you have to control the means of colloidal silver production.

And that’s exactly what happens when you own a high-quality colloidal silver generator. You become the colloidal silver manufacturer…which allows you to produce the concentration you want!

Reason #1 to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver: You Can Make It So Inexpensively You Can Literally Afford to Bathe In It!


That’s right. When you make your own colloidal silver, you’ll never get ripped off again by greedy colloidal silver vendors.

A typical 4-oz. bottle of colloidal silver contains only about 6 to 12 cents worth of actual silver particles. Yet they charge you up to $30 for that tiny bottle. That's a 25,000% mark-up on every bottle!

But when you make your own colloidal silver you can do so for literally a few pennies per quart.

Your only real costs are the distilled water (about a dollar a gallon at Wal-Mart), and once each year or two you’ll probably have to spend somewhere around $25 to replace the set of pure, .999 fine silver wire that usually comes with your generator when you buy one.

Yet with a high-quality colloidal silver generator, a single set of pure silver wire costing you about $25 will allow you to produce over $24,000 worth of colloidal silver (no kidding!) over the course of a year, based on typical health food store prices of up to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle!

So when you factor in the cost of the silver wire, the tiny amount of electricity needed to run the generator (which is generally less than what’s required to run a tiny Christmas tree light bulb) and the cost of the distilled water, it comes out to about 36 cents a quart or less to make a high-quality colloidal silver solution that just blows away the conventional, commercially prepared brands.

That’s about as close to producing colloidal silver for “free” as you can get!

Compare that to commercial brands of colloidal silver costing up to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle, and you’ll see why we say that when you make your own colloidal silver, you can literally afford to bathe in it.

In fact, all you have to do is brew up a one-quart batch (total cost: 36 cents) and toss it into your bathwater before bathing. Its soothing and invigorating effects on the skin are legendary – and you’ll notice the difference in skin tone and smoothness almost immediately!

Colloidal Silver and Colds: A Safe, Simple and FAST Way to Stop Colds Before They Get Started!

Dr. Mercola once recommended putting a couple of drops of standard household 3% hydrogen peroxide into your ears, using an eye dropper, the moment you feel a cold or flu coming on.

His rationale was that many viral infections actually start in the ears, and then spread. And that hydrogen peroxide could halt the process at its inception by killing the viruses before they spread throughout the respiratory tract.

This idea was apparently based on the work of Richard Simmons, M.D., who, way back in 1928, first hypothesized that colds and flu virus enter through the ear canal.

Dr. Simmons’ findings were dismissed by the medical community. But of course, the medical community has off-handedly dismissed many helpful and healthful ideas, only to find out 20 or 40 or even 60 years later those ideas were true.

My Personal Experience

So…the very next time I felt a cold coming on, I tried this idea at bedtime. I put three drops of hydrogen peroxide in my ears, one ear at a time. I could hear and feel the peroxide bubbling like mad in my ears.

And the very next day all cold symptoms were gone! The key, apparently, is that you have to catch the cold just as it is beginning. Once it's full blown and the viruses have spread into the respiratory system, it's too late.

But…I discovered there was a potential PROBLEM with this method...

...For several days after using the hydrogen peroxide drops in my ears, I got the distinct impression that it had slightly burnt the soft tissue on the inside of my ears and even diminished my hearing a bit. The slight stinging feeling eventually subsided. But...

Using Colloidal Silver in the Ears, Instead…

...The next time I felt a cold coming on, I used COLLOIDAL SILVER in my ears, instead of hydrogen peroxide. I used three drops of 10 ppm homemade colloidal silver in each ear.

Here’s what I did:

I simply laid down on one side, and used an eye dropper to administer the three drops. Then I waited six to eight minutes and turned over and drained the colloidal silver into a tissue.

Then I laid down on my other side and repeated the process in the other ear. Wow...

...what a difference! No burning or stinging sensation whatsoever. In fact, it was remarkably soothing, instead. No perceptible hearing loss afterwards. And once more the budding cold was knocked out before it could fully take hold.

It's an interesting and very simple remedy – much safer, in my opinion than the use of hydrogen peroxide in the ears.

And since that time I've used it successfully many, many times to stop fledgling colds from becoming full-blown colds.

Works great on kids with symptoms of a fledgling cold, too!

Bob Beck: Numerous Ways to Use Colloidal Silver

A Few Unique, Plus Traditional Uses for Colloidal Silver

By Dr. Robert C. Beck, Ph.D.

[Dr. Robert C. Beck, Ph.D., more popularly known as Bob Beck, was the original colloidal silver guru, and early proponent of the home colloidal silver generator. He was a well-known inventor of popular electro-medical and electro-magnetic devices widely used in the natural health community, a speaker at numerous health conferences, a critic of Big Pharma and the FDA, and a tireless advocate of natural healing. Dr. Beck passed away at the age of 77 in 2002. Here is an early article he wrote on the myriad of health-enhancing ways you can use colloidal silver on a daily basis, when you own a high-quality colloidal silver generator and can therefore produce colloidal silver for pennies per gallon…]

When you control a source of pennies-per-gallon, make-it-yourself silver colloid you can use it for hundreds of health improvement applications.

A few are suggested here.

You can use most tap water to make silver colloid for industrial and external uses, and use distilled or de-ionized water for internal applications.

Here are just a few ways to use it:

· Add to drinking water when traveling or camping.

· Colloid sprayed burns heal rapidly without scarring.

· Safely sterilize anything from toothbrushes to surgical instruments.

· Use topically on cuts, wounds, abrasions, rashes, sunburn, razor nicks, bandages.

· Spray on garbage to prevent decay odors.

· Mist kitchen sponges, towels, cutting boards to eliminate E. Coli 0157:H7 and salmonella bacteria to prevent food poisoning, gastrointestinal inflammation, and genital tract infections.

· Add when canning, preserving, bottling.

· Use like peroxide on zits and acne.

· Add to juices to enhance shelf-life.

· Add to milk to delay spoiling, fermenting, deteriorating, clabbering or curdling.

· Spray in shoes, between toes, between legs to stop most skin itch, athlete’s foot, fungi, jock itch.

· Diminish dandruff, psoriasis, skin rashes, etc.

· Add to bath water, gargle, douches, colon irrigation, nasal spray and dental water-pic solutions.

· Cuts downtime dramatically with colds, flu, pneumonia, staph, strep, respiratory infections and rhino viruses.

· Skin itch, eye and ear infections, some moles and warts vanish when colloid is sprayed on body after bathing.

· Use with Q-tip on fingernail, toenail, and ear fungi.

· Neutralize tooth decay and bad breath. Silver colloid stops halitosis by eliminating bacteria deep in throat and on back of tongue. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, silver colloid never permits strain-resistant pathogens to evolve.

· Put a few drops on band-aids and bandages to shorten healing times.

· Health professionals might consider IV and IM injections. Tumor and polyp shrinking is reported when masses are injected directly (when colloid is added in correct proportions to sterile physiological saline or Ringer's Solution which contains ~9000 ppm sodium chloride).

· Toothaches, mouth sores, bacterial irritations are diminished.

· Soak dentures to reduce bacterial count and help prevent mouth infections.

· Spray refrigerator, freezer and food storage bin interiors.

· Stop mildew and wood rot.

· Mix in postage stamp, envelope, and tape moistening wells, paint and paste pots to prevent bacterial growth, odors, spoiling or souring.

· Add to water based paints, wallpaper paste, dishwasher, cleaning and mopping solutions, etc.

· Spray pet bedding and let dry.

· Spray on top of contents of opened jam, jelly, and condiment containers and inside lids before replacing.

· Mix a little in pet water, birdbaths, cut flower vases.

· Always add to swamp cooler water.

· Spray air conditioner filters after cleaning.

· Swab air ducts and vents to prevent breeding sites for germs.

· Use routinely in laundry final rinse water and always before packing away seasonal clothes.

· Damp clothes or towels and washcloths will not sour or mildew.

· Eliminate unwanted microorganisms in planter soils and hydroponics systems.

· Spray plant foliage to stop fungi, molds, rot, and most plant diseases.

· Treat pools, fountains, humidifiers, Jacuzzis, hot tubs, baths, dishwashers, re-circulating cooling tower water, gymnasium foot dips, and bath and shower mats.

· Spray inside shoes, watch bands and gloves and under fingernails periodically.

· Treat shower stalls, tubs, fonts, animal watering troughs, shavers to avoid trading germs.

· Rinse fruit and vegetables before storing or using.

· Put in cooking water.

· Human and animal shampoos become disinfectants.

· Prevent carpets, drapes, wallpaper from mildewing.

· Wipe telephone mouthpieces, pipe sterns, headphones, hearing aids, eyeglass frames, hairbrushes, combs, loofas.

· Excellent for diapers and diaper rash.

· Spray toilet seats, bowls, tile floors, sinks, urinals, doorknobs to disinfect.

· Kill persistent odors by spraying area.

· Rinse pillowcases, sheets, towels and bedclothes.

There are literally thousands of other essential uses for this ridiculously inexpensive, odorless, tasteless, colorless, totally benign and easily produced powerful non-toxic disinfectant and healing agent.

You'll find that a spray or misting bottle of silver colloid solution may be the most useful health enhancement tool in your environment.
