15 Healing, Money-Saving Colloidal Silver Pet Benefits

Pets enhance the lives of their owners in many ways, giving comfort and joy as they become part of the very family unit itself.  

Properly cared for, your pets can give you years of love, pleasure and service.  But keeping them healthy can be time-consuming and expensive.

That’s why every pet owner needs to know about the astonishing healing and infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver, and how it can be such an unexpected boon to both pet health and to your wallet, as well…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

Having colloidal silver on hand can save you tons of money by preventing unnecessary visits to the vet when your pet has a cut, burn, scratch or minor infection.

That’s because colloidal silver is a natural liquid mineral supplement that just happens to have some powerful healing and infection-fighting qualities.  It not only heals infections, and prevents cuts, burns and scratches from becoming infected, but it also boosts immunity and helps reduce inflammation.

If you’re new to colloidal silver usage, be sure to read the short article, A Colloidal Silver Primer, for a quick overview of its many well-known healing benefits for humans.  Believe it or not, those very same healing benefits apply to animals, as well. 

Safe for Animals?

In just a moment we’ll take a look at 15 different ways colloidal silver can be used to enhance the health and well-being of your pets and save BIG money in veterinarian bills at the same time.  But first, let’s take a quick look at the issue of safety: 

Is colloidal silver safe for animals?  Yes.  In fact, the most recent clinical research demonstrates that colloidal silver is perfectly safe for animals even when used in very high concentrations for short periods of time.    

For example, in a clinical study titled “An Evaluation of Acute Toxicity of Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles,” researchers tested mice for acute oral toxicity, eye irritation, corrosion and dermal toxicity in relationship to exposure to silver.  Surprisingly, they found that even at extremely high levels of 2,000 ppm (a normal concentration is 10-20 ppm), no harm was found. 

The researchers wrote, “…these findings suggest that colloidal silver nanoparticles could be relatively safe when administered to oral, eye and skin of the animal models for short periods of time.”

In another clinical study on animals, titled “Genotoxicity, Acute Oral and Dermal Toxicity, Eye and Dermal Irritation and Corrosion, and Skin Sensitization Evaluation of Silver Nanoparticles,” researchers found that colloidal silver nanoparticles, even at relatively high concentrations, do not induce cell toxicity, genotoxicity or abnormal signs of mortality in animals.

In fact, there was no oral or dermal toxicity. There was no acute eye or dermal irritation of corrosion, and extremely low skin sensitization. In other words, whether the silver was used internally or topically, it showed no signs of toxicity or harm. 

The bottom line is that the safety profile of colloidal silver for animals – like humans -- is quite good, even when higher concentrations are being used for short periods of time.

Colloidal Silver Pet Benefits

Here are 15 specific ways you can use colloidal silver on your pets to keep them healthier than ever, and save money, to boot: 

#1:  Keep Pet Foods Fresher And Longer With Colloidal Silver -- If you’re familiar with safe, natural colloidal silver and it’s many uses, you probably already know that people often spray it on their household food and mix it in, in order to extend the shelf life of the food. Try it on cottage cheese, for example – a few sprays of colloidal silver mixed into the cottage cheese has been known to keep it fresh in the fridge nearly twice as long as usual.  You can even mix an ounce of colloidal silver into a quart of milk, shake it up, put it back in the fridge, and realistically double its shelf-life (see Colloidal Silver Doubles Shelf-Life of Milk, Say Researchers) thanks to silver’s ability to stop food spoilage germs from multiplying as quickly as they otherwise would.

But it’s not just for human foods.  It works on pet food too.  Many pet owners say their canned pet food lasts twice as long before spoiling.  They simply mix a teaspoon full of 10 ppm colloidal silver into the canned pet food to help prevent it from getting dried out and turning brown so quickly.  It works by dramatically slowing the growth of spoilage bacteria and thus keeping the pet food fresher, longer.

You can also use a simple pump spray bottle to spray some colloidal silver over your pet’s dry food in order to extend its shelf life and reduce bacterial growth.  After spraying the dry food with colloidal silver, mix it around thoroughly and allow it to air dry. 

The added benefit to spraying your pet’s food with colloidal silver to help keep it fresher, longer, is that your pets will ingest a little bit of silver each day, as well, which will help keep them healthier and infection-free.  As one pet owner wrote to tell us: 

“My pet tabby, Samantha, had grown lethargic and no longer wanted to play.  Being only four years old, I grew a bit worried for her. 

I mentioned it to my neighbor, who’s also a cat lover.  Thankfully, she told me about adding a little bit of colloidal silver to her cat’s canned food each day to help keep it fresher.  She said that in addition to the pet food lasting twice a long before spoiling, she’d noted a decided positive difference in her cat’s health and well-being after she began adding the colloidal silver. 

So I decided to try the same thing with Samantha.  Boy, am I glad I did.  Within three days of adding colloidal silver to her cat food, she was strutting around the house again like she owned the place. 

I can only imagine that she was suffering from a hidden stomach infection, and the addition of silver to her pet food cleared it up.  Now she gets a little bit of colloidal silver in her pet food or her water bowl every day.” – L.K., Terrence, MO

The bottom line is that adding a little bit of colloidal silver to your pets food will help keep it from spoiling as quickly, thus preventing waste and saving you money.  And the added benefit is that your pet will be healthier and less prone to infection and disease. 

 #2:  Keep Your Pet's Water Bowl Disinfected With Colloidal Silver -- Even the early pioneers knew the benefit of silver for keeping water fresh. That's why, on long journeys, they always threw a silver dollar into the water barrel to keep the water from going bad.  The ancient Romans drank out of silver vessels for the same reason.  And even today, NASA is using colloidal silver on the Space Shuttle as a means of disinfecting the astronaut’s drinking water on long space journeys and preventing it from going bad. 

So naturally, it works in pet water too. Add a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful per day of 10 ppm colloidal silver to your pet’s regular water bowl. It will keep the water fresher and purer – far longer -- by keeping it from becoming contaminated with potentially harmful microbes.

As one reader recently stated:

“Our long-haired dog drops food particles and sand from his beard into his water bowl every time he drinks. So we add a tablespoon of colloidal silver each time we change out his water. 

It keeps the water crystal clear for at least double the usual time.  Even when the food particles accumulate in the drinking water, we know the water will still be safe for our dogs to drink until we change it out again.”

As an aside, here’s a tip from an experienced colloidal silver user who cured her dog’s mouth infection by adding colloidal silver to the water bowl: 

Because I live alone, I decided now was a good time to get a house companion. I now have a 4 ½ lb. AKC registered Papillion. She was mostly grown when I got her and no problems until recently, when she developed a mouth infection.

After many trips to the vet’s office, all of her teeth were pulled except 3 eye teeth. Her mouth was so sore and swollen. The vet wanted to put her on antibiotics. It’s impossible to give pills to a tiny dog with such a sore mouth.

So I picked up all her water dishes and only gave her colloidal silver to drink. After a week, I gave her regular water during the day, but colloidal silver at night for another few days.

It’s been a couple weeks now and she is back to normal doing fine. Without the colloidal silver, I know I would not have her today.”  -- F. Hogan, Rockford, IL

In short, adding colloidal silver to your pet’s water bowl is a simple way to keep the water fresher and fully disinfected for at least twice as long. And it can provide amazing healing benefits to your pet, as well. 

#3:  Keep Pet Bedding Disinfected With Colloidal Silver -- Your pet mats, mattresses and blankets are among the most “germy” articles in your home.  In fact, over the course of time, dust and dirt that can accumulate on pet bedding will mix with pet dander, hair, body oils, saliva and other pet fluids (i.e., squirts, leaks, etc.) and act as perfect mediums for the growth and spread of potentially harmful bacteria. 

Naturally, you can either machine or hand-wash your pet bedding.   But let’s face it:  As much as we all love our pets, we often forget to wash and clean their bedding as often as we should.  And that leaves us (and our pets) wide open to the spread of infectious microbes in the home. 

Thankfully, between washings, you can slow down the growth and spread of microbes on your pet’s mats, mattresses and blankets simply by spraying them with a little bit of colloidal silver.  Just add colloidal silver to a pump spray bottle, and very lightly “mist” your pet’s bedding once every two or three days, allowing the bedding items to air dry afterwards.  The added silver will go to work killing microbes and thus preventing them from being spread throughout your home.   Colloidal silver will also deodorize your pet bedding as it disinfects it of potentially harmful microbes.

Because colloidal silver has been demonstrated in clinical study after clinical study to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral, using it on pet mats, mattresses and blankets will not only help curtail the growth and spread of such microbes in your home, but will also help prevent infectious illness from spreading to your animals and your family.   

Spraying your pet’s bedding with colloidal silver will also help deter mold and fungus from growing in your pet’s sleeping area.

Two added tips:  Naturally, if you have a cat, be sure to spray the litter box each day with colloidal silver to help neutralize any microbial growth and buildup (and to keep the smell down).  And no matter which kind of pet you have, if that pet has toys you should spray them lightly with colloidal silver as well, from time-to-time, in order to help stop unwanted microbes from colonizing and spreading.

#4:  Clear Up Ear Infections In Pets With Colloidal Silver -- Clearing up ear infections in pets is easy, thanks to colloidal silver.  You can see how people use colloidal silver to stop earaches and infections in the short video at this link.  The very same principle works for pets, as well. 

As one experienced colloidal silver user told us:  "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, and then let him shake his head. It has worked. No more infections!"

Another user had this to say: “I gave some Colloidal Silver to a co-worker because his dog continually would get ear infections, and he couldn't afford the medication from the vet. His dog no longer gets ear infections. He takes a Q-tip with Colloidal Silver on it and rubs it in the dog’s ear. I think he does this 1x per month."

I’ve personally seen colloidal silver work when sprayed on dog’s ears that get infected from excessive scratching.  Simply putting some colloidal silver into a pump spray bottle and lightly “misting” the inside and outside of the ear with colloidal silver three or four times a day not only relieves the itching, but the skin seems to heal up like magic, as well. 

In another instance, a pet owner who noticed a “terrible odor” in his dog’s ears began simply giving colloidal silver to his dog in its water bowl, to drink.  He wrote of his results:

"We have a golden retriever that could barely walk a year ago, limping and could not climb stairs to get back in the house, terrible odor in his ears.

I suspected it might be a fungus so I started putting about four ounces of homemade colloidal silver in his water dish, in about a week or so he was like a new dog.

He is about nine ...now and other than being overweight he is in good shape. Also anytime we start to show signs of getting a cold we take a shot of colloidal silver and no cold."  -- Jeff S.

With results like this, it seems likely that you could treat most any pet's ear infections with colloidal silver.  (Always check with your veterinarian, first, of course.) 

#5:  Treat Eye Infections In Pets With Colloidal Silver -- Any pet, especially outdoor pets, are susceptible to eye infections. And of course, treating an eye infection in a pet can be expensive.  But not so with colloidal silver.  One cat owner had this to say about her cat’s occasional bouts with eye infections:

"Eye infections, due to irritants or a scratched eye, can be common with cats. I use an eyedropper to put 1-2 drops of colloidal 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!"

Another long-time colloidal silver user wrote to say:  “My cat had an eye infection. I put colloidal silver drops in it twice a day and I put a bowl of colloidal silver beside her water dish. I saw her drinking from the colloidal silver bowl several times. I am very happy to say her eye infection is cured. She didn't even fight when I put the drops in her eye. (I tried it in my eyes first and it seems to sooth them).”-- Carol W

Here’s how one lady used colloidal silver to cure her kittens of eye infections they were born with: 

"One of the uses that we use colloidal silver for is on our cats. We have outside cats that have never seen a vet. Before colloidal silver was being used their health was marginal. Kittens in the past would have these serious eye infections shortly after birth.

But by using colloidal silver spray on the two most recent litters of kittens, the eye infections were under control on the 1st group (they were born just before we got our colloidal silver generator) and the second, most recent litter, there were no infections at all.

We started spraying their eyes about 2 weeks after birth. B.T.W., the females are spayed now -- no more litters -- but we use CS in all of the cats food (about a tbsp. per bowl) twice a day. They are looking great!!!!!"

Another user said: "I have used colloidal silver to clear up feline herpes in a cat's eyes, and have prevented infection from countless cuts, post surgery, and for other injuries sustained during daily life. It is the safest and best antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-viral that I have ever used, as opposed to the pricey, worthless, side effects loaded junk that the pharmaceutical companies promote. So, if anyone has any doubt about using natural colloidal silver in place of chemicals, think again. This works, with zero side effects." 

And finally, another pet owner wrote to say, “If my dogs get weepy red eyes, I put a couple of drops of colloidal silver in each eye 3 times a day, and wipe each eye with a fresh swab soaked in colloidal silver. You will notice an improvement immediately, but do this for 3 days and it will be cleared.”

The bottom line is that experienced colloidal silver users know how to use colloidal silver to take care of their pets.  And this can save a ton in veterinarian bills while helping resolve pet infections quickly and effectively. 

#6:  Treat Cuts, Scratches And Wounds With Colloidal Silver -- Pets are especially prone to cuts, scratches and other small wounds that can quickly become infected. Once infected, a costly visit to the vet and weeks of treatment with topical and oral antibiotics is the usual protocol.  But a much less expensive alternative is colloidal silver.  It will treat the cuts and scratches naturally, without the potential for unintended consequences so prevalent with potentially toxic prescription antibiotic drugs.  And it will help prevent infection from ever setting in.  

As one pet owner reported: “Our dog tangled with a bear. Its eye was bloody - we sprayed colloidal silver - within minutes she was prancing around the barn as if nothing had ever happened."

Another reader uses colloidal silver on all her pets, and she says it always surpasses the results she expects when used to help heal wounds on horses, dogs and cats. She wrote, "I was dealing with some awful wounds with the animals and colloidal silver was so incredibly effective with the healing process."

Another enthusiastic pet owner wrote: 

 If I, or any of my animals, ever get cut or scratched I put colloidal silver on it, and usually by the next day healing has begun.

One of my horses foundered and the infection was so bad in his feet that pus was coming from around the corna band. I used colloidal silver daily on that area. It was just amazing how the colloidal silver helped the infection.

Finally, I also give colloidal silver to a friend of mine that has 75 horses. She uses it when any of her horses get bit, kicked, or cut. She loves it. She doesn't have to call a vet, and I get to help out a friend.”

According to the clinical researchers behind a study titled “Topical Delivery of Silver Nanoparticles Promotes Wound Healing,” published in the medical journal ChemMedChem, “We investigated the wound-healing properties of silver nanoparticles in an animal model and found that rapid healing and improved cosmetic appearance occur in a dose-dependent manner…we showed that silver nanoparticles exert positive effects through their antimicrobial properties, reduction in wound inflammation, and modulation of fibrogenic cytokines.” 

In other words, in a clinical study of animal wounds treated with colloidal silver, the silver promoted rapid healing, improved the appearance of the wound site, killed microbes and reduced inflammation all at the same time.

Generally, colloidal silver can simply be put into a pump spray bottle and sprayed lightly onto cuts, scrapes and other wounds four or five times a day. 

If you feel you need to bandage a wound, gauze bandages can be soaked in colloidal silver – or just lightly sprayed with colloidal silver – and applied over wounds that are a little more serious than a simple cut or scratch.  Pet owners say such bandages should be changed out at least three times a day. 

#7:  Treat Fleas With Colloidal Silver -- One of the more unusual testimonials came from a reader who found that colloidal silver helped with fleas. She 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!

With my own pets, I’ve found that you can even squelch active flea outbreaks with colloidal silver. Simply put some 20 ppm colloidal silver and into a pump spray bottle.  Spray your pet's fur and skin, rubbing it gently into the fur and skin as you spray. Do this three times per day and before you know it, fleas will be gone.  Not only that, but it brings massive relief to the pet because the colloidal silver helps stop the itching from the flea bites.

#8:  Treat Dog Ear Mites With Colloidal Silver -- Among the numerous ways readers use colloidal silver is to treat ear mites.  Like fleas, ear mites don’t seem to like to remain long in the presence of silver.  As one reader said:

“We were sitting on the bed, and smelled something so I flipped my dog’s ears over and saw the debris from the mites that had dug into his skin. Yuck. The debris stunk. And it was gross.

We sprayed some colloidal silver over the dog’s head and allowed it to gently drop into his ears. And 2 hours later I looked and the mite debris was gone. There was still some way down in the ear canal. But for it to literally disappear…we were shocked.

The regeneration was also quick, especially the hair. "Now, if the problem recurs, we spray the colloidal silver directly in ear. We use it on his hot spots too.”

Considering how difficult it can be for pet owners to successfully treat ear mites in pets, this is clearly another unusual yet highly beneficial use for colloidal silver.   

#9:  Treat Upper Respiratory Infections With Colloidal Silver -- Normally, when a person has an upper respiratory infection, the doctor prescribes antibiotic drugs.  If disease processes such as bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, COPD or others are involved, the doctor might also prescribe the use of a nebulizer – a device that allows you to atomize liquid medications into a fine, breathable mist, so they can be inhaled directly into the lungs.  Many experienced colloidal silver users even nebulizer colloidal silver directly into their lungs when they have upper respiratory infections.  And yes, the same thing can be done for pets suffering from upper respiratory infections.  (To learn more about nebulizing colloidal silver into the lungs, see the short video and longer article "Using Colloidal Silver With a Nebulizer.”)

But how do you get an animal to sit in front of a nebulizer and breathe in the atomized colloidal silver mist?  Not easy.  Normally, you'd give colloidal silver to them orally, but that isn't terribly effective with an upper respiratory infection.  You have to get the colloidal silver down into the lungs.  According to A. Schroeder and other experienced colloidal silver users the solution is a "croup tent." Schroeder gave this example:

“I had some chicks with upper respiratory infections and made a ‘croup tent’ out of a plastic grocery bag. I used a nebulizer to mist the colloidal silver into the ‘tent’ and one of the chicks is already up and eating again after only 2 treatments!!  Love this stuff and love my Silver Edge colloidal silver generator even more!”

It can be assumed that she ran the nebulizer's breathing tube into the makeshift "croup tent" so the colloidal silver mist could fill it. Also she must have cut air holes into the bag so the chicks could breathe. You could also make a makeshift croup tent from a cardboard box with air holes cut into the sides and top—animals still need air to breathe, even during a nebulizer treatment.

An even simpler method would be to use the animal's crate (i.e., pet carrier) with a towel draped over it, leaving some open area exposed for air. A larger animal could be treated in a small child's pop-up tent, or maybe you could figure out a way to keep a larger dog inside its house and run the nebulizer tube into the dog house.

Run the nebulizer for maybe 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day. In any case, be sure you have left enough air holes for the animal to breathe comfortably.  Learn even more about this unique technique for dealing successfully with pet upper respiratory infections, in the article Colloidal Silver for Animals with Upper Respiratory Infections.

#10:  Treat a Stomach Infection With Colloidal Silver -- Pets, just like humans, are susceptible to stomach infections.  After all, they eat just about anything when we're not looking.  While there’s no clinical research documenting how much colloidal silver to give pets for tummy issues, there are plenty of anecdotal accounts to indicate it does help quickly soothe and heal stomach issues in dogs, cats and other animals.

Often, a pet with a sick stomach won't eat or drink, so the trick is to get some colloidal silver into him, somehow. Most of the time, I simply put a small bowl full of fresh, pure 10 ppm colloidal silver next to my pet’s water bowl.  When pets are sick, you’ll be surprised to find they’ll often choose to drink from the bowl full of colloidal silver than from their own water bowl. 

But if you have trouble getting your pet to drink the colloidal silver, one effective method is to fill a plastic 10ml syringe (without needle) with 20 ppm colloidal silver and squirt it directly into your pet's mouth, as demonstrated in this short video on Treating Dogs and Other Pets With Colloidal Silver.

A large dog, for example, might need two or three syringes full of colloidal silver at a time. And this might need to be repeated up to four times a day until the stomach infection resolves.

A smaller animal won't need nearly as much colloidal silver, but the treatment method is the same.  According to pet owners who use colloidal silver, very small dogs with stomach problems can be given four or five eyedroppers full of colloidal silver, three or four times a day until the stomach problem resolves. 

#11:  Treat Parvo With Colloidal Silver -- While there’s no clinical or published veterinary evidence that colloidal silver can be used to cure Parvovirus in dogs, there's actually tons of anecdotal evidence.  It seems that people have been using colloidal silver on their "Parvo puppies" (and grown dogs with Parvo) for many years, and often with exemplary healing results. There’s no guarantee, of course, as even vets have trouble saving dogs who have been infected with this insidious virus.  (Up to 80 percent of Parvo-infected dogs treated with conventional veterinary treatments die.)  But based on the anecdotal data, you have a pretty good chance of treating Parvo successfully with colloidal silver, and saving your dog.

For puppies and small dogs, you’ll have to administer the colloidal silver orally with an eye dropper.  In medium sized to larger dogs, a 10 cc or larger plastic syringe (no needle) can be used to gently squirt the colloidal silver into the dog’s mouth.  

Anecdotal accounts vary in terms of dosage for puppies. When the disease is caught early, some people administer up to five eyedroppers full of 10 ppm colloidal silver as much as five times a day until the puppy's appetite returns and Parvo symptoms abate. For adult and larger dogs with a Parvo infection, a 10 cc plastic syringe (no needle) can be used.  Dog owners say they use up to five 10 cc plastic syringes full of colloidal silver orally up to five times a day until the dog's appetite returns and the Parvo symptoms are gone.

People also recommend trying to feed a Parvo-infected dog strained baby food, or a commercial product called Nutristat which is available online. That’s because one of the symptoms of the Parvovirus is that it causes severe diarrhea which flushes all essential minerals/electrolytes out of your dog’s body.  Replenishing those lost minerals/electrolytes is essential to the dog’s recovery. 

Others recommend pouring a capsule of Lactobacillus acidophilus into a veterinary Pedialyte solution before administering it to the dog.  In a process known as competitive inhibition, the beneficial digestive microbes will compete with the Parvovirus for space in the tummy and will eventually help drive them out.  It will also help prevent some of the diarrhea that comes with Parvo and help heal the damage to the stomach lining done by the virus.

Remember, because dogs with Parvo don't want to eat or drink, it’s vital to keep them well hydrated with an electrolyte solution (Pedialyte) for animals that you can get from a vet.

To learn more, see the short article and “how to” video Using Colloidal Silver to Cure Parvo in Dogs.

#12:  Treat Mange With Colloidal Silver -- Experienced colloidal silver users know that colloidal silver is great for healing skin issues and topical infections, and works fabulously well for helping keep cuts, burns, skin abrasions and more from becoming infected.  Likewise, many pet owners have found that colloidal silver works wonders for skin issues on their pets, as well, including nasty cases of mange.  Here's what one user had to report:

“We make our own colloidal silver with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.  Thankfully, we brought the generator 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. 

Our son told us of all the trips to the vet for different remedies that didn't work. Well, I got some 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 with the homemade colloidal silver 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.”

Apparently colloidal silver heals mange in cats too. Reader D. M. wrote:

“I am thrilled to report that the colloidal silver I made has cured my cat's mange ...his hair is starting to grow back!!

I gave him 1 teaspoon in a medical syringe, 1x a day (would have preferred 2x a day, but Tuna really hated the process). I also put some in a small spray bottle as well and sprayed it on all areas that fur was falling out. 

I also used a cone to prevent Tuna from licking it off the area. In just 5 days his hair is already coming back!”

At first glance this may seem strange, as colloidal silver is best known for killing infectious microorganisms like bacteria, fungus and even some viruses. Mange in pets is caused by parasitic mites—mange mites. When a pet's immune system is compromised, these mites can embed themselves in huge numbers in the animal's skin, the result of which is the loss of large patches of skin.

Once this happens the door is open for infectious microbes such as Staphylococcus epidermidis to move in, resulting in even more hair loss. Colloidal silver seems to encourage the mange mites to move on (they apparently don’t like living in its presence) and it will kill any bacterial, fungal or viral microorganisms that have moved in, too.

#13:  Reduce Unwanted Pet Odors With Colloidal Silver -- A brand new use for colloidal silver has been discovered -- removing pet odors. A recent email from a reader told of neighborhood cats marking their territory by spraying his front screen door in the early morning hours. Nothing he did would deter them…until…that is…he tried colloidal silver. Here's his testimonial:

“The cats in my neighborhood every year have used my front door for target practice, spraying, marking their territory. I've tried everything, but the smell would not leave.  So I tried putting colloidal silver into a sprayer and spraying the cat markings.  The result?  15 minutes later, fresh as a daisy. Two weeks later they have NOT re-marked their territory. Totally astounding! I just love my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator. Thanks for all you do!” 

Another nice lady claims she used colloidal silver to get rid of the odor from her two pet dogs who loved to "mark" the carpet in her home office with urine. Here's what she had to say:

“I am VERY happy to report back that colloidal silver ELIMINATES pet urine odor! I recently discovered this after adding two new pets to the household. Unfortunately, both dogs (male and female) are particularly fond of marking on the carpet in my home office. For the first time I decided to give the carpet the smell test after cleaning. It LOOKED clean, but I could still smell what had been there; no wonder dogs go back to the same spot(s) with their sophisticated noses. 

So, I had an idea to try colloidal silver and sprayed the carpet with it after cleaning it -- it WORKED! Absolutely NO ODOR remained on the carpet. I was stunned! Don't know why I didn't think of it before. Never again will I buy commercial odor eliminators. Best of all, I can make all the colloidal silver that I want, anytime I want, CHEAP with my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator. (It is shocking to see how much certain manufacturers (you know who they are) charge per ounce of their product.) Thank you for making a real and affordable micro-particle generator!”

There you have it. Colloidal silver works to eliminate even some of the most stubborn pet odors. So you won’t need any more expensive pet deodorant carpet cleansers and disinfectants.  A few pennies worth of colloidal silver does the job, instead. 

#14:  Cure “Ich,” Fin Rot And Other Tropical Fish Diseases With Colloidal Silver --  Experienced colloidal silver users know that colloidal silver works astonishingly well when it comes to healing skin infections and other skin conditions in tropical aquarium fish, including the dread “ich” and fin rot.  In fact, there’s even an online patent explaining exactly how much colloidal silver to use, which you can read about in the article Using Colloidal Silver in Your Fish Tank or Aquarium.

Basically, when “ich,” fin rot or other tropical fish skin diseases begin to appear, aquarium owners use one teaspoonful of 5 ppm colloidal silver to each 10 gallons of aquarium water.  They might add this amount of colloidal silver to the tank every other day until the infection is visibly gone. 

Aquarium owners swear that adding a tiny bit of colloidal silver to the aquarium from time-to-time  -- whether the fish are ill, or not -- visibly bolsters the health and well-being of the fish.  As one lady wrote on a tropical fish enthusiast website: 

"I have had fish many times just in a bowl with no equipment, and they die and get stressed so easily. So when I had bad experiences with water going murky too quickly, and fish getting white spot, and having to spend money on chemicals to fix them. 

So I figured out, must be bacteria.  I researched colloidal silver and fish, and found a website where a man used colloidal silver to save thousands of dollars worth of fish when nothing else worked and that was his last resort. 

So I dropped 10 drops of colloidal silver in my fish bowl and have had happy fish now for 6 months. I change the water once a month; sometimes 5-6 weeks. When I change the bowl I put them in a little water and completely fill the whole bowl with new water and tip them in. 

Ha, Ha, you are not supposed to do this; you are supposed to only remove 2/3 water as they will get stressed.  But not my fish with the colloidal silver in the water.  They absolutely love it.  

I only put an eyedropper full in every 2 weeks or whenever I feel I want to.  A squirt here, squirt there and that is all I use, that is it. That says a lot about colloidal silver to me. The more I use it the more I love it."  -- Denise

And as another aquarium enthusiast wrote to explain:  “I added a capful of colloidal silver to my 25 gal tank. That was 2 days ago and I have noticed that my fish are all quite vibrant now.  My Blackskirt tetra is much darker then he was before, my guppy is a deep purple and brilliant peach, and my Danio's are heavily patterned now…It seems to make them happy, they look healthy and are eating, they are just alot more active and pretty to look at.” -- tatty_kassy

#15:  Spray Pet “Hot Spots” with Colloidal Silver to Relieve Itch and Prevent Infection -- From time to time both dogs and cats can develop so-called “hot spots” on their skin.  These are red and highly irritated areas of skin which can itch so badly the pet quite literally chews its own skin open or scratches it open in a vain attempt to stop the incessant itching.  Veterinarians say pet hot spots are a form of dermatitis and can be caused by allergic reactions, mite or flea infestations, and of course, by microbial infections of the skin.

Thankfully, spraying a little bit of 10 ppm colloidal silver onto pet hot spots can provide dramatic relief in several ways:

• Colloidal silver prevents the hot spot from becoming infected

• Colloidal silver quenches the itch, providing much-needed relief for the pet

• Colloidal silver soothes the rough, irritated skin

• Colloidal silver triggers optimal healing of the skin 

Colloidal silver is doubly helpful with pet hot spots when they’re caused by microbes, because the silver kills the microbes, bringing an end to the ongoing irritation and also preventing infection from setting in and making the situation worse. 

Colloidal silver also acts as an antioxidant, modulating the body’s inflammatory response by inhibiting cytokine release which in turn helps bring down the swelling and irritation on the skin.  And the silver triggers optimal skin healing to take place, as well. 

As the researchers behind a 2008 clinical study published in the journal Nanomedicine discovered, “…when dermatitis was induced in animals (i.e., pigs) the redness and swelling returned to near-normal after 72 hours of treatment with nanosilver, while groups treated with other substances remained inflamed.”  According to the researchers:

“These results demonstrate that colloidal silver had a direct anti-inflammatory effect in the porcine contact dermatitis model that improved the overall outcome of the healing process,” and that “colloidal silver may be responsible for the anti-inflammatory activity and improvement in healing.”

So medical science has demonstrated that colloidal silver can heal dermatitis on animals, and trigger healing of the irritated skin itself, as well. 

How does this work out in real life?  As reader Robyn G. wrote in to say, “My dogs get hot spots.  I use a makeup remover pad and spray colloidal silver on it and dab the affected area for a couple of minutes. I let it dry and then rub organic coconut oil on the area..Works like a charm every time.”

In my own case, my elderly male Shepherd mix, Brownie, tends to get hot spots on his feet.  And when a hot spot strikes, he’ll lick and even chew madly at his feet, one after the other, for twenty or thirty minutes at a time before he gains a modicum of relief. 

But as soon as I see him licking and chewing at his feet, I go into action.  I grab the pump spray bottle of colloidal silver and spray his feet with 10 ppm strength.  I make sure to spray the colloidal silver deep between the pads on his paws, as well as directly onto the pads.  If the licking and biting is particularly bad, I might even spray his feet with colloidal silver until they’re drenched. 

The end result?  The itching and the need to lick and bite vanishes within moments.  And the pleasant look of relief on my Brownie’s face is always precious. 

In Summary…

As you can see, colloidal silver can be an indispensible healing tool when it comes to pet health and well-being.  And it can save you boatloads of money, to boot, by reducing veterinary visits and allowing you to help heal your own pets, naturally.  As pet lover and natural health writer Angela Kaelin has noted:

“Colloidal silver works to destroy bacterial, fungal and viral infections in cats and dogs just as well as it does in human beings. Furthermore, because colloidal silver is odorless, almost tasteless and non-toxic, experts say you can use it for both dogs and cats internally and externally.

If you are looking for a healthy, alternative way to take care of your pets and avoid expensive veterinary bills, colloidal silver can go a long way in helping you achieve that goal. Whether you are looking for a disease preventative, a way to clean your pet and his bedding or deal with illness and injuries, it can be a Godsend to you.  And it will definitely save you loads of money you’d otherwise have to spend on a veterinarian.”

You can read how a dozen other pet owners have used colloidal silver to help heal a myriad of pet illnesses and diseases, in the article Colloidal Silver for Dogs, Cats, Horses, Reptiles and Other Pets.

And you can also make it yourself, for just pennies, quickly and easily.  I’ll tell you how people are doing it, in just a moment. 

But first, if you’d like to learn more about colloidal silver’s astonishing effectiveness against drug-resistant pathogens, here are a few resources you might want to check out:

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 nutritional 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. 

Of course, people are willing to pay through the nose for colloidal silver, since it’s safe and natural, and works so well against germs, mold, fungus, and even viruses. 

But 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 sky-high mark-ups charged by health food stores!

Colloidal Silver for SERIOUS Emergency Preparedness

If you’re serious about being prepared for the next big national emergency, crisis, disaster or terror attack, there’s one more thing you need to add to your home preparedness arsenal:  colloidal silver.   

In an emergency situation colloidal silver can be used as an infection-fighting agent in place of prescription antibiotic drugs.  It can also be used to help keep foods from spoiling… keep your drinking water germ-free…keep your household disinfected, safely and naturally and without potentially toxic chemicals.

And finally, it can be used to treat food poisoning, ear infections, sinus infections, sore throat and strep throat, bug bites, sunburns and other types of burns, sick pets, PLUS treat colds, flu, allergies and upper respiratory infections like bronchitis or pneumonia.  And last but not least, colloidal silver can even provide protection against potentially deadly germ warfare agents. 

Here’s what every serious prepper needs to know about colloidal silver BEFORE the next big crisis hits…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

Imagine if you will that terrorists hit Nevada’s Hoover Dam, which supplies electrical power daily to tens of millions of people throughout the American southwest (California, Nevada, Arizona).  This means crowded major cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas would be blacked out in an instant. 

Now imagine the attack is coordinated – terrorists also hit the power grids in the northwest U.S., on the east coast, in the Deep South, and in the Midwest, simultaneously. 

Suddenly, hospitals in every city would be shut down, unable to take new patients or properly treat existing patients.  Stores would be without power.  Millions of families would go without heating, cooling, lights or refrigeration.  TV, radio and internet would be gone, along with news and public broadcast warning systems.  Confusion would reign.

Municipal water systems – all of which depend upon electricity to get water into your home -- would slam to a screeching halt.  And tens or even hundreds of millions of families like yours and mine would suddenly find themselves without fresh, pure water. 

Street lights would be out.  Food storage hubs that supply grocery stores would be shut down across the country.  Military bases would go black.  Police stations would be locked up.  All major airports would have to be closed.  Overseas jetliners returning to their U.S. destinations would have to be diverted to Canada and Mexico. 

Everything about your world and mine would change overnight.  Think dark.  Very dark.  There would be nationwide chaos, calamity and unrestrained panic within hours of an attack on the nation’s power grid.  Society as we know it would collapse. And the aftershocks – including riots in the streets, fires, thefts, murders and more -- could last for weeks or even months, depending upon the extent of the physical damage wreaked by terrorists on our national power grid, and how long it might take to repair it. 

Katrina x 20 Coming Soon

If you can recall events surrounding Hurricane Katrina in 2005, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what to expect – the mass looting of stores…the home invasions...the scarcity of fresh food and clean water…the fires blazing in different parts of the city and no first-responders available to help…police too overburdened to respond to ongoing crime sprees, assaults and home invasions…hospitals shut down…doctor’s offices closed…pharmacies boarded up…people being herded into football stadiums to sleep on cots…you name it. 

Then multiply all of that chaos and darkness by a factor of about twenty or thirty, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what you’re going to experience if the U.S. power grid goes down. 

Unfortunately, that scenario is not so far-fetched.  In fact, federal, state, county and even local government agencies have been practicing and preparing for just such an eventuality.  You’ve heard of various government agencies buying up millions of rounds of ammunition for crowd control and law enforcement purposes during an extended emergency.  You’ve heard of federal and state government officials holding “crisis drills” and “mock terror attacks” in major cities to help better prepare first-responders like police, firefighters and medical crews.  You’ve probably even heard of the underground “emergency bunkers” and “safe houses” being built for high-up government officials and for the very wealthy, in case of a prolonged SHTF scenario. 

The bottom line is that the potential for such an attack happening in your lifetime is very high.  And it’s getting worse by the day. 

That’s why, if you’re a prepper like me you've likely got some food and fresh water stored away.  You might even have a generator or some solar power rigged up to help run your home.  And you’ve probably got some extra household goods on hand like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper and pet supplies.  Maybe you’ve also got some extra medications on hand, in case they’re needed.  And perhaps you’ve stocked up on ammunition in case people are tempted to rob you or otherwise harm you or your family during an extended national or local crisis.  

A God-Send for Preppers:  Colloidal Silver

But I’m urging you to add one more important item to your personal preparedness arsenal – a unique, all-natural substance that will help you and your family get through such unthinkably difficult times with far greater ease and well-being.  And that one added item is a nutritional supplement called colloidal silver.  

In case you’re completely unfamiliar with colloidal silver, the first thing you need to know is that it’s an all-natural, liquid nutritional supplement.  And it has only two very simple ingredients:  Pure water and ionic silver -- tiny, microscopic-sized, electrically-charged particles of silver suspended in the water.  That’s it.  In other words, colloidal silver is a liquid mineral nutritional supplement, and the mineral suspended in the water is pure silver.  Nothing else. 

If you take a good, daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement, you likely already take iron, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, vanadium and other minerals.  Here’s why adding colloidal silver to that list of healthful minerals could be one of the most important and beneficial steps you’ll take to round out your home preparedness arsenal: 

Silver is quite literally the world’s #1 most powerful, all-natural infection-fighting agent.  That’s because it kills germs.  It kills them inside the body, outside the body, and even in the air around you.  It stops colds, flu and even pneumonia.  If heals ear infections, eye infections, sore throats and sinus infections.  It accelerates the healing of cuts and burns, scratches and wounds, and helps prevent them from becoming infected. It also helps reduce inflammation.  And it boosts immunity. 

As Dr. Joseph Weissman, M.D. board certified immunologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California Medical School has said of colloidal silver:

"Today, many antibiotics are losing the battle with germs. Fortunately, the best germ killer, which was discovered over 2,000 years ago, is finally getting the proper attention from medical science - natural silver. I sincerely recommend that everyone have electrically generated colloidal silver in their home as an antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agent."

And as Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD, of the famous Tahoma Clinic in Washington state has said of colloidal silver:

"Colloidal silver just might be the next germ-fighting wonder drug. And not just for the serious threats making headlines: It's also effective against bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and fungal infections like Candida.

No matter how much a germ mutates, it can't change enough to escape the damaging effects of colloidal silver. And in the process, the silver doesn't harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in the intestine the way antibiotics and other medications do…"

In other words, in a serious, SHTF emergency situation in which hospitals, pharmacies and doctor’s offices are closed, colloidal silver is your #1 best substitute for antibiotic drugs should an infection set in.  To learn more about colloidal silver’s unique ability to heal infections and stop the progress of infectious diseases, see:

• How the Infection-Fighting Power of Silver Was Re-Discovered

• What Real Medical, Scientific and Clinical Experts Have to Say About Colloidal Silver Usage

• 7 Deadly Microbes Killed by Colloidal Silver at Very Low Concentrations:  Study

But there’s a lot more to colloidal silver.  For example, colloidal silver can also be used to disinfect microbe-contaminated drinking water.  In fact, as you’ll see below, it can be used to disinfect your entire household, if need be. Safely.  Without the use of potentially harmful and toxic home disinfectants.  And without harm to adults, children or pets. 

Let’s take a quick look at some of the powerful ways colloidal silver can be used to help keep your family safe and infection-free during an extended crisis…

13 Ways Colloidal Silver Can

Help Save Your Family During a Crisis

Here are 15 different ways you can use colloidal silver to help keep your family safe, healthy and infection-free during the aftermath of a terror attack, natural disaster or other SHTF scenario when chaos reigns and regular medical care might not be available:

1.     Keeping foods fresher, longer

Colloidal silver helps with keeping foods fresh and healthy in several ways. Because it's a powerful natural antimicrobial agent, it's great for preserving the freshness of foods. Add one ounce of 10 ppm strength colloidal silver to a quart of milk and you can extend the shelf life by twice the usual time. 

In fact, silver is so effective at slowing down food spoilage that Brazilian researchers have developed a milk carton imbedded with silver nano particles, which quite literally DOUBLES the shelf-life of the milk. (Learn more in the article "Colloidal Silver Doubles Shelf-Life of Milk")

But that's only part of the story. What about the fresh fruits and vegetables you purchase at the grocery store, or grow in your garden?  Colloidal silver is deadly to food poisoning pathogens like E coli or Salmonella, which are commonly found on fresh fruits and veggies. 

All you have to do is soak your fresh fruits or veggies in a bowl consisting of one quart of water plus one ounce of 10 ppm colloidal silver in order to kill any pathogens.  Soak for five to 10 minutes, then rinse and store.  Learn more in the following short article, “A Simple, Effective Colloidal Silver Fruit and Vegetable Wash”.

Or, you can simply spray your fresh fruits and veggies with 10 ppm colloidal silver before storing them. This same process will not only kill any potentially deadly food poisoning bacteria on the food, it will help ensure that they last longer too, before beginning to spoil. That makes buying (or growing) fresh fruits and veggies less expensive, because you’ll have less waste.  For additional information see: Using Colloidal Silver for Healthier Fruits and Vegetables.

2.     Increasing the safety and shelf-life of home canned goods

Many preppers and do-it-yourselfers can their own food. Home food storage is a great way to keep the family fed in the event of an emergency. But you want to be sure that your stored food is safe, especially when you’re using a water bath method.

To prevent spoilage add 1 tablespoon of 10 ppm colloidal silver per quart when home-canning. Seal the lids as instructed. For more information on keeping canned foods fresher longer, see Colloidal Silver for Canning and Food Preservation.

3.     Disinfecting your drinking water

Probably the most important ingredient in preparing for an emergency is water. You can live for weeks without food.  But you can only live for about three days without water. So you sure do want plenty of clean, uncontaminated water on hand during a serious SHTF scenario.

Unfortunately, over time, stored water can easily become infected with bacteria. But here’s the good news:  You can insure the safety of your stored water by adding a couple of ounces of 10 ppm colloidal silver to each gallon of water before storing it. Then, months later when you get ready to use the water, add another ounce or two of 10 ppm colloidal silver as a “just in case” measure. Let sit overnight before using, and you’re good to go.

Is this anything new?  No, it’s not.  For a very long time humans have known that silver purifies water and keeps it safe to drink.  Even before germs were discovered, people instinctively knew to use silver to keep water from “going bad.”  That's why early American pioneers threw a silver dollar into their water barrels -- it kept their water safely disinfected. This is also why Mexico has used colloidal silver for years as a safe, natural water disinfectant.  What’s more, both NASA and the Russian space program have used colloidal silver to disinfect water aboard the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station and on other space voyagers.  Even modern-day water filters utilize silver in the filtration process, to help kill pathogens that might otherwise escape the filters. 

But suppose you don't have water stored. Maybe you're out in the wilds where you have to turn to nature for water. You might have a personal filter on hand to make sure there’s no dirt and debris in the water as you drink it.  But even when the water is filtered, how do you insure it's safe from invisible pathogens? It’s simple:  Just add some colloidal silver and allow it to set for an hour or two before drinking it.  Colloidal silver is effective against spores, parasites, bacteria, fungus and even algae.  So it can be used to disinfect water in the wild.  For example, after you fill a canteen with filtered water, just add an ounce of colloidal silver, shake it up, and allow it to sit for a few hours before drinking. 

You can learn more about using colloidal silver to keep your drinking water safe and microbe-free, here:

• Colloidal Silver and Unsafe Drinking Water in Developing Nations

• NASA to Use Colloidal Silver in Manned Space Flights (Again)

• Ionic Silver Purifies Municipal Drinking Water

• How to Use Colloidal Silver in a Hot Tub or Spa

As you can see, colloidal silver has been used widely for decades to help keep drinking water safe and free of microbial contamination.  It’s even used on ocean-going cruise ships to help keep the drinking water safe.  And now you too can take advantage of this powerful, health-enhancing quality of colloidal silver – not just for water disinfection, but for disinfecting your entire home, as well…

4.     Household disinfection made easy

If there’s ever a time you’ll want a safe, natural, non-toxic and broad-spectrum disinfectant for your home, it’s during a SHTF scenario.  After all, keeping your home as pathogen-free as possible means you’ll have far fewer chances of ending up with an infection when you least need one.  And it means your family will have a better chance of remaining infection-free, as well. 

Remember, during a prolonged SHTF scenario, as the system breaks down so too will the means to keep your home safe from the spread of bacteria, fungus and viruses. Common household disinfectants will become unavailable.  Thankfully, the very best substitute for any household disinfectant is colloidal silver.

•        For example, a light spray of colloidal silver under your kitchen and bathroom sinks will prevent mold and mildew from growing.  It will disinfect the area, and as a bonus it will eliminate musty smells and odors.

•        Add ½ cup colloidal silver to your mop water and you've got a safe, powerful antimicrobial to protect your household from the spread of germs.

•        As you clean your kitchen area with sponges, you'll want to be sure to spray them with colloidal silver before and after each use.

•        And what about kitchen cutting boards? After washing them, spray them lightly with colloidal silver and let them air dry. A safe and germ-free cutting surface is your reward.

•        You can spray colloidal silver inside the refrigerator, and in the food storage bins, to prevent the spread of mold and bacteria.

•        You can also use colloidal silver routinely in your laundry during the final rinse cycle, to disinfect underclothing, sheets, dish rags, bath towels, baby diapers and more.

•        Or, simply spray colloidal silver onto hanging bath towels, wash cloths and dish rags and drying towels to help prevent souring and mildew.

Here’s another hot tip:  Spray colloidal silver into home air ducts and vents to prevent them from becoming breeding sites for germs, molds and mildew.

But what about much more serious matters, such as fighting an active infection when medical help is unavailable?  Well, it’s colloidal silver to the rescue, once again!

5.     Treating mild to moderate food poisoning

If you’re involved in a survival situation where food has become scarce and the food you can obtain may be contaminated, you might end up with a nasty case of food poisoning.

Many of us have experienced cases of “stomach flu” over the years.  In retrospect, it was probably a mild case of food poisoning such as that caused by E. coli, Listeria or even Salmonella.  Thankfully, colloidal silver has been demonstrated in laboratory clinical studies as well as in numerous anecdotal reports to be effective against all three of these common and potentially deadly food poisoning bugs.  You can learn more here:

• Colloidal Silver and Salmonella

• Colloidal Silver and E. coli

• Colloidal Silver and Listeria Contaminated Food

Additional test tube studies have demonstrated that colloidal silver kills many of the other pathogens behind food poisoning including:  Campylabacter, Salmonella, E coli, Shigella, Listeria and Clostridium (what is often mislabeled as botulism).  

Read how experienced colloidal silver users have utilized colloidal silver to cure their food poisoning cases, here:

•  Colloidal Silver and Food Poisoning, Stomach Infections or “Stomach Flu”

Additionally, independent clinical research has also demonstrated colloidal silver to be effective against a variety of food poisoning pathogens.  For example, the Harbonne Research Foundaton states:

“Several years ago we conducted some rather extensive evaluations of various protocols promising effective results against various pathogenic agents which cause 'food poisoning'.

The one protocol, effective against ALL agents evaluated, was colloidal silver. A 5 ppm solution proved effective against all pathogens tested; yielding complete control within 6 to 8 minutes.....regardless of concentration of the pathogenic agent.

Control was effected in some solutions as weak as one part of 5 ppm colloidal silver to 50,000 parts contaminated solution. Among the many agents tested were botulinum, campyobacter, salmonella and listeria (bacterial agents); and norwalk-like viruses and hepatitus A (viral agents).”

-- Brooks Bradley, Harbone Research Foundation

Here’s a fascinating first-hand story of colloidal silver being used to cure a nasty case of food poisoning from eating contaminated honey:

• How Colloidal Silver Cured a Nasty Case of Food Poisoning from Eating Raw Honey

And here’s a short article on using colloidal silver to heal a variety of stomach ailments:

• Colloidal Silver Heals Stomach Ailments FAST

The bottom line is that during a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other SHTF situation your odds of contracting a nasty case of food poisoning grows exponentially, especially if fresh food is unavailable, refrigeration is out, and existing food supplies are becoming contaminated.  Ending up with food poisoning in the midst of a prolonged crisis is no way to go.  But thankfully, with colloidal silver you can avert that situation completely. 

6.     Treating eye and ear infections quickly, easily and effectively

In the case of a serious crisis, the normal medical help we all take for granted may be weeks away, or even completely unobtainable.  And a nasty eye infection or ear infection isn’t going to wait on the doctor.  Left untreated, a serious eye infection can lead to blindness, and a serious ear infection can lead to hearing loss. 

Thankfully, colloidal silver works wonders – quickly and easily – for both eye and ear infections.  Indeed, a few drops of colloidal silver placed directly into the eye or ear using an eye dropper can stop a burgeoning infection overnight.

Unlike conventional antibiotic drugs that target specific bacteria, but won't work on fungal pathogens or viruses, colloidal silver is a broad spectrum all-natural infection-fighting agent that almost always works regardless of what kind of pathogen is causing the problem.

Experienced colloidal silver users say that less is more when treating eye or ear infections. That's because the area you are trying to treat – whether they eye, or the ear -- is very small.  Three drops of colloidal silver in the affected eye,  two or three times a day, or five drops of colloidal silver in the affected ear, two or three times a day, is generally all you need to stop an eye or ear infection in its tracks. For more in depth information, see:

• Colloidal Silver: Healing Ear Infections the Safe, Easy Way

• Video Demonstration:  Cure an Earache With Colloidal Silver

• Using Colloidal Silver to Heal Eye Infections

• Video Demonstration:  Heal Eye Infections With Colloidal Silver

But colloidal silver can do much more than just treat things like food poisoning, or eye and ear infections.  Indeed, for tens of thousands of people around the world, it’s their #1 all-natural “go to” resource for treating just about any kind of infection.  For example…

7.     Treating sinus infections

If you suffer from mild-to-moderate sinus infections from time-to-time, then during a prolonged crisis in which doctors and sinus medications might not be available, your sinus infection could turn into a potentially life-threatening bronchitis or pneumonia.

Fortunately, there are four basic ways to use colloidal silver to clear up a sinus infection quickly, easily and effectively:

•        One, you can use a simple eye dropper to drip the colloidal silver into your nostrils, allowing it to run down into your sinuses. 

•        Two, you can put colloidal silver into a simply pump spray nasal bottle and spray it into your sinuses several times a day, while inhaling deeply to get the silver deep into the sinuses. 

•        Three, you can add colloidal silver into the water in a neti pot, and rinse your sinuses with it several times a day. 

•        Four, you can put colloidal silver into a nebulizer (a small device which turns liquids into an aerosol mist you can inhale) and sniff it up your nose into your sinuses for four or five minutes, several times a day.

• How to Make a Colloidal Silver Nasal Spray Bottle

• Colloidal Silver, Allergies, Asthma and Inflammation

The bottom  line is this:  With colloidal silver in your corner, you’ll never again have to worry about being caught with a nasty sinus infection during an extended crisis when doctors and medicine may be completely unavailable.

8.     Treating sore throats/strep infections

If you can't get medical attention how will you treat dangerous sore throats and strep infections? Those infections can turn into something much worse, so you'll need to treat them quickly, and there may be no access to antibiotics—which can have negative side effects anyway.

Different strains of the Streptococcus bacteria (strep throat bacteria) can cause Scarlet Fever, pneumonia, meningitis and impetigo. But, a study done at BYU showed that a colloidal silver solution was able to kill five different strains of the Streptococcus pathogen, at surprisingly low concentrations. And further research has shown it to be effective against drug-resistant forms of Streptococcus, as well. 

Drinking an ounce or two of 10 ppm colloidal silver and gargling with 10 ppm colloidal silver three or four times a day, for as long as possible each time, can cure a strep throat infection if done consistently.  Some experienced colloidal silver users tell me they simply carry a small pump spray bottle filled with 10 ppm colloidal silver when they have a sore throat, and spray their throat area frequently throughout the day. 

As the famous cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Gerald Lemole, M.D. has stated on the Dr. Oz Show, “Colloidal silver is antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral, and it’s really good stuff for if you feel an oncoming sore throat.  So in the Lemole household, if you have a sore throat you’re getting colloidal silver sprayed in your throat first.  That’s the first thing they do…It’s amazing to me that you can build wellness tools like this into your own lifestyle, which I never see in my own profession.”

To learn more, see the in-depth article Colloidal Silver and Strep Throat for information on dosages, plus clinical studies and personal results that will pretty much blow your mind. 

9.     Treating bug bites – including wasp, spider and scorpion bites

During a SHTF scenario, whether you're outdoors picking food in your garden, or rummaging around in your yard or local neighborhood searching for dwindling supplies, or even heading out into the wilderness to avoid the chaos in the city, there's a good chance at some point in the process you'll get bitten by bugs.

Thankfully, applying colloidal silver will dramatically ease the itch of spider or other bug bites.  You can expect dramatic and quick relief simply by spraying colloidal silver directly onto the bites and allowing it to air dry, or moistening a cotton ball with colloidal silver and placing it on the bite, then covering it with a bandage to keep it in place.

Better yet is to use a good, high-quality colloidal silver gel or cream directly on the bite (see Germ-Busting Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams). 

Or, you can mix some colloidal silver with bentonite clay powder to make a poultice; after applying the poultice to the bug bite, the clay will help to draw the poison out and the silver will help heal the skin irritation and inflammation, and prevent infection from setting in.  (See video demonstration of how to make your own colloidal silver poultice, here.) 

As an experienced colloidal silver user recently wrote to say about his friend who was severely bitten by sand flies:

“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 micro-particle colloidal silver 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.”  -- Kathyn, Singapore

Another colloidal silver user wrote in to say, “I have since used colloidal silver on tick bites. After making the ticks back out with dish soap, I applied silver directly on the bites (2 ticks) and the bumps disappeared after 2 applications of the silver.” (Mike T., Idaho)

And another colloidal silver user wrote in to explain how effective she found colloidal silver to be against mosquito bites.  She stated:

“I am a mosquito magnet. My husband and I go places and he gets no bites, but I get LOTS. So I carry a little bottle of colloidal silver in my pocket and put a drop of it onto the bites. Most never itch again. If some continue to itch, I give it 5 or 10 minutes and apply another dab of colloidal silver water.

Sometimes a bite will begin to itch again the next day and I simply dab on a little more colloidal silver water. I used to scratch the mosquito bites until they scabbed and left marks for weeks. I never have a problem, now.” – M.H., Schnel

And a colloidal silver user also found that it works well for treating wasp bites.  She wrote:

 “A few days ago I was attacked by a nest of wasps.  I was bit 4 times. In the past, I have ended up in the ER over bites.

But, all evening long I compressed the wasp bites by soaking some cotton balls in colloidal silver and then taping the wet cotton balls directly over the bite sites.  I changed them out every hour or so with freshly soaked cotton balls. 

I also took 1 tbsp of colloidal silver, orally, directly after the attack, and another tbsp before bed.  And guess what?  No welts, no balloon arms - barely noticeable the next day!” 

Finally, a nice lady wrote in to explain how she used colloidal silver on a scorpion sting.  She stated:

“I was barefoot and stepped on the scorpion in the dark. When I got the light on it was standing facing me with its tail raised as if to dare me to try that again. I was able to capture it and looked it up on the internet, to find a photo identifying it as the most dangerous scorpion in Arizona and recommendation to go to the ER.

Pain, swelling and redness at the bite site began to spread.  But at that particular time I was getting ready to move and had turned off my phone and sold the car. So, having no way to get to emergency care, I put colloidal silver in a dish big enough to fit my toes in, settled down to Facebook, and sat the rest of the night with the front part of my foot dangled in the colloidal silver.

Just as a precaution, I emptied the dish twice during the night and refilled it with fresh silver. By morning the spreading pain, swelling and redness was gone. The sting continued healing on its own with no further treatment and did not leave a scar.”

So there you have it.  If you get a scorpion sting and you’ve got no way to get to an emergency care facility, this nifty little idea might buy you the time you need, or even save you from an evening of growing pain and inflammation.

Finally, there’s spider bites.  When I was visiting the Island of St. John some years back, during the off-season, our room in the highly rated hotel we stayed at was full of tiny spiders.   Apparently, when guests are infrequent, the rooms aren’t cleaned as often, and the spiders move in. The little critters didn’t bother my wife, for some reason.  But they sure liked me.  I’d wake up in the morning with spider bites from my ankles to my knees.  

It was awful, because while they were very small bites, they turned bright red and itched like crazy. So I broke out the colloidal silver we’d brought, and began spraying it on the spider bites whenever they’d start to itch, allowing it to air dry before dressing. 

And not only was the relief immediate, but it was fairly long-lasting, as well – often, the itching didn’t start again for four or five hours.  And when it did, I simply repeated the process.

Most importantly, recent anecdotal accounts demonstrate that colloidal silver can help heal even serious spider bites, such as those from Brown Recluse Spiders. 

For many victims of this potentially deadly spider, the skin itself begins to necrotize, meaning it begins to rot right on your body. Learn how experienced colloidal silver users have solved the problem, here:  Colloidal Silver and Spider Bites

10. Treating sunburns and burns

During a disaster or emergency in which you might get more outdoor exposure than usual, it's quite possible you or a family member or other loved one will end up with a nasty sunburn.  Or, you might get burned trying to rig a makeshift stove or cooker.  After all, when we get hungry and tired we might also get a little careless.

But if you’ve got a serious sunburn or burn, and the doctor’s offices and drug stores are all closed, what do you do?

Thankfully, colloidal silver is the fast, simple solution, once again.  In fact, the #1 drug used in hospital burn centers around the world is quite literally based on silver.  It’s called silver sulfadiazine cream, and it’s used in burn centers to not only heal burnt skin, but to help prevent burnt and necrotizing skin from becoming infected as well – after all, most burn victims aren’t killed by the burns, but by the subsequent infections that set in on the burnt skin.  In fact, a 1973 study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy states:

"657 different types of bacteria from 22 different bacterial species were exposed to silver sulfadiazine. All strains were inhibited by levels which can easily be obtained topically. Strains resistant to sulfadiazine or multiple antibiotics were sensitive to silver sulfadiazine."

Unfortunately, silver sulfadiazine cream (aka Silvadene) is a prescription only product.  So you’d have to have a doctor’s prescription to obtain some for use on sunburns or burns. 

But here’s the good news:  You can quite easily make your own silver-based sunburn relief salve, and your own silver-based burn cream.  And you won’t need a doctor’s prescription at all.  Just check out the following resources for specific “how to” instructions:

• A Recipe for Serious Sunburn Relief

• Colloidal Silver for Burn Relief Beyond Belief

• Germ-Busting Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams

• Video:  Make Your Own Colloidal Silver Gel and Colloidal Silver Soap

Now that’s the kind of information – and do-it-yourself skill set -- every serious prepper needs to have during a prolonged emergency. 

11. Treating colds, flu, allergies and upper respiratory infections

Of course, colloidal silver can also be used to treat colds, flu, upper respiratory infections (including bronchitis and pneumonia) and even mild allergies.  After all, the last thing you need during a serious SHTF situation is a bad cold or a nasty case of the flu, or any kind of upper respiratory problem.  But if such a thing should happen, colloidal silver can be there for you. 

As one long-time colloidal silver user recently wrote to say:  “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.”  (Diane L. Erie, MI)

As my old friend Harold H. from Barstow, CA attests:

“When my new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator arrived I was down for the count, having caught some kind of virus. While my head was plugged up and body aching, I hurriedly created my first batch of Colloidal Silver.

I took 4 ounces the first day and felt 50% better in less than 8 hours! The second, day I again took 4 ounces; incredibly I felt the same overwhelming results. By the third day, I had risen from my bed and returned to work!

The massive amount of energy I now receive from taking an ounce a day has brought new life to this old 53 year old man! If I had never purchased your video I would never have known about this wonderful elixir.

Thank you so much for your research, newsletters and providing me with the best Colloidal Silver Generator on the planet! I am driving my friends crazy telling them about it!"

You can learn even more about using colloidal silver to help stop colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia and other upper respiratory infections in the following articles:

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

• Colloidal Silver versus Cold and Flu Viruses

• Inhalation of Silver Nanoparticles Results in "Miraculous" Protection Against Pneumonia

• Beating the Winter Cold and Flu Season With Colloidal Silver

• Colloidal Silver, Allergies, Asthma and Inflammation   

• Video Demonstration:  Using Colloidal Silver in a Nasal Spray Bottle for Sinus and Allergies

As you can see, for this single purpose alone it would be worth having colloidal silver on hand during a crisis or emergency situation when good doctor care might not be available and store shelves (if stores are even open) might be stripped bare of over-the-counter cold and flu remedies.

12. Protecting your pets from infection and disease

Many preppers – including myself – are lifelong pet lovers.  Of course pets can indeed fit in with a well-rounded prepper program.  Dogs, for example, act as great “alarms” against potential trespassers.  If it’s the right breed, they can also be wonderful for home protection.  Some breeds can even be trained for hunting. And regardless of breed, they're just plain good company.

Many preppers also raise domestic farm animals (cows, chickens, goats) for food.  But what if your pets or farm animals need medical help during a prolonged state of emergency in which veterinary offices are closed and vet supplies limited? 

Because pets and other animals can be often be treated similarly to humans, you can use colloidal silver on their cuts, scrapes and bruises to help accelerate healing and prevent or stop infection. Whenever one of your animals gets sick, you can also add colloidal silver to their water bowl, or use a simple eyedropper or plastic syringe to administer colloidal silver to them orally.  Colloidal silver can even be mixed into your pet’s food if you have a pet that doesn’t like drinking it orally.

As one lady who owns a farm wrote to say, colloidal silver can be a Godsend for animals in need. She stated:

“Our dog tangled with a bear. Its eye was bloody - we sprayed the eye with colloidal silver - within minutes she was prancing around the barn as if nothing had ever happened. The cow had problems. We put colloidal silver in her water - whatever it was is gone!!!  The goat had pink eye - colloidal silver took care of it.” – Gramma Bea Riley, Riley Farms

Another individual wrote:

“By the way, I also use the colloidal silver water on my animals. For example, I have several domestic felines. In the rough-housing and playing, they sometimes get nasty cuts, abrasions and wounds.

Whenever that occurs, these felines are treated with 7-10 ppm colloidal silver water that I make with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. I, also, periodically dose them with an eye dropper or two of colloidal silver water to protect their gums and teeth. And if any of the felines get the ‘sniffles,’ they immediately get doses of colloidal silver water dispensed through an eye dropper.

One of my felines came down with stomach cancer and would spew blood all over her chest. This started about a year and one-half ago.

I treated her daily with Colloidal Silver Water 15-21 ppm that I made, dispensed through an eye-dropper with at least 6 eye-dropper doses usually six to eight times daily. I also gave her 6 eyedropper doses of undiluted Flor*Essence tea (i.e., Essiac Tea) before she ate, about six to eight times daily. Within three months, she was healed, and is now as rowdy and playful as ever.” -- John S., Jamesville, NY

As you can see, colloidal silver can be a pet owner’s best friend, especially during a serious, SHTF crisis situation in which proper veterinary care might be unavailable. 

13. Potential help against germ warfare or biological weapons attack

If you don't live in a bubble, you’re likely aware of the potential for the use of germ warfare by bad guys during a terror attack.  After the 9-11 terror attacks on the U.S., envelopes containing a deadly strain of anthrax were sent to key government personnel through the mail, resulting in the deaths of five Americans and serious, life-threatening infections for 17 others.

At that same time, terrorist plans to use small, unobtrusive devices called “venturis” to help spread germ warfare agents throughout major cities came to light.  The “venturi” device is attached to the outside of a car.  As the car is driven down the road, the “venturi” sucks air into one end, and disperses clouds of deadly germ warfare agents out the other. 

In other words, a “venture” is designed to disperse clouds of deadly germ warfare agents into the air while the terrorist is simply driving down busy city streets.  This could easily infect literally tens of thousands of people in the course of a single afternoon, and ultimately causing complete chaos and shut-down of major cities. 

While we may hope and pray a germ warfare attack like that would never happen in this country, we know that it can.  But would colloidal silver be helpful in such a case?

The experts aren't telling us the answer to that question.  But we do have some strong indications that colloidal silver will indeed work.  For example, former CIA microbiologist, Larry Wayne Harris, was asked if there were any natural substances that could protect the population against germ warfare agents, he answered: "The only natural substance I know of that is effective against these microbes is colloidal silver. I tested that myself when I was with the CIA and found it effective against both anthrax and the bubonic plague pathogens."

Harris conducted further studies in his own lab which you can read about in the article Colloidal Silver and Biological (Germ) Warfare.

According to Harris, if you’re already taking colloidal silver when a germ warfare attack takes place, you’ll enjoy automatic built-in resistance.  But experts say taking colloidal silver after the fact will have little effect unless you nebulize it.

Nebulizing colloidal silver – which simply means breathing an atomized mist of colloidal silver into your lungs – allows the silver to be quickly and easily carried into your blood stream and from there into the body's cells and tissues.  You can view a short “how to” video on nebulizing colloidal silver, and learn more about how the experts say to do it (including dosage information) in the article, Using Colloidal Silver With a Nebulizer.

Another important thing to note is that if you have a good supply of doctor’s surgical masks on hand (which you should, if you’re a serious prepper) you can spray one with colloidal silver and allow it to air dry, instantly turning the mask into an antimicrobial facemask, par excellence.  This could provide tremendous protection against germ warfare agents if they were being sprayed into the air in your area.  And they’re just plain helpful for going out in public during the course of a crisis when cold and flu viruses might be spreading, as well.  You can learn more about turning your doctor’s face masks into antimicrobial face masks in the article Silver-Coated Doctor’s Face Masks Kill Germs. 

Learn Even More…

As I stated at the very beginning, colloidal silver is the one additional thing anyone who’s truly serious about being prepared for the next emergency crisis, disaster or terror attack should have on hand.  

As you’ve seen above, in an emergency situation it can be used as an infection-fighting agent in place of prescription antibiotic drugs. 

What’s more, it can be used to help keep foods from spoiling… keep your drinking water germ-free…keep your household disinfected, naturally and without toxic chemicals… and to treat food poisoning, ear infections, sinus infections, sore throat and strep throat, bug bites, sunburns and burns, and even sick pets.

PLUS treat colds, flu, allergies and upper respiratory infections.  And last but not least, it can even be used to help provide protection against potentially deadly germ warfare agents. 

Not only does it work in the above situations, but in many others as well. If you’re interested in learning more about colloidal silver and its many uses, consider obtaining one or more of the following important informational resources:

The Colloidal Silver Secrets Video (DVD) -- Your one-hour “crash course” in making and using colloidal silver.  In this full-color “how to” video presentation, TV personality Kirsten Burrt interviews Steve Barwick, author of The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, on live TV and asks the questions you’ve always wanted to know the answers to about the powerful infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver, and how to use it for maximum healing results.  Learn how to use colloidal silver to heal a myriad of infections and diseases.  Barwick even demonstrates how to make your own colloidal silver generator, and demonstrates the differences between the three major types of colloidal silver generators.  Because of the extensive nature of the information in this video, it regularly sells for $59.95 a copy.  But it’s yours for only $19.95, here, simply by acting within the next 10 days only.

The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual -- Newly revised and updated to a whopping 547-pages, giving you encyclopedic knowledge of colloidal silver and the many ways to use it successfully.  Over 40 in-depth chapters covering the infectious diseases colloidal silver has widely been used to treat…overviews of the most important clinical studies from the late 1800’s to the present day, which prove its astonishing effectiveness…two complete dosage chapters documenting how much to take and when for various infectious diseases…in-depth interviews with top colloidal silver experts…and much, much more.  This is the book all top natural health practitioners buy when they want to learn how colloidal silver is used.  It’s quite literally the most comprehensive guide to colloidal silver and its usage ever published.  And it’s written in plain, easy-to-understand language, rather than in “doctor talk.”  Because the manual is so extensive in its coverage of colloidal silver and its many healing and potentially life-saving uses, it regularly sells for $179.95 (some people are selling it on Amazon.com for over $300 a copy).  But if you’re interested in owning such a valuable and comprehensive resource, here’s a website where you can save a whopping $100, paying only $79.95 simply by acting within the next 10 days only.    

Learn to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver

If there’s any downside to colloidal silver, it’s the cost.  To say the least, it’s a bit on the pricey side, costing between $20 and $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle which probably wouldn’t last more than a few days, at most, during a serious or prolonged crisis.

But because colloidal silver is so effective at healing infectious illness and disease, most people pop for the high-priced commercial stuff, not knowing that colloidal silver can be made at home – quite easily -- for just a few pennies per quart. 

Indeed, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.

Yes, that’s right -- less than 36 cents a quart!

At normal health food store prices, a full quart of colloidal silver would usually cost you as much as $240.  But you can make that same quart for less than 36 cents with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. 

In other words, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the entire cost the generator. Do you know of any other health product that literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?

Making your own high-quality colloidal silver at home for just a few pennies per quart allows you to dramatically expand your range of uses far above and beyond what you’d be able to use colloidal silver for if you had to pay $20 to $30 for those tiny four-ounce bottles in health food stores. 

4 Simple Steps to

Colloidal Silver-Making Perfection! 

Just plug the two pure .999 fine silver rods into the two jacks in the bottom of the generator box, one on each side of the bubbler tube. 

Sit the generator box on top of a one-quart glass jar full of pure steam-distilled water, so that the two silver rods and the bubbler tube are immersed in the water. 

Set the handy appliance timer for three hours, and plug it into any convenient grounded household electrical outlet. 

Plug the generator into the timer and then turn the timer wheel clockwise until you hear the generator start bubbling. The generator will shut off automatically after three hours.

  

It’s really that easy! You just “Set it, and forget it.” And you get a perfect batch of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver every time!

When you’re finished, you’ll have a full quart of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver.  And you can make quart after quart for the rest of your life, for less than 36 cents each! 

Indeed, the set of pure .999 fine silver wire that comes with your generator is enough to make over $24,000 worth of colloidal silver (see here)!

Why should you ever again pay $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver at the health food store, when you can make your own superior-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for just pennies per quart?

After all, now you can afford to make all of the colloidal silver you’ll ever need, for just a few cents per quart.

And that means you can afford to use it for a myriad of other beneficial uses, including in the aquarium to help heal and prevent tropical fish infections…or in your hot tub or spa (replaces toxic chlorine and bromine)…or for just about every kind of pet health problem imaginable…or even as a safe, natural, non-toxic household disinfectant. 

Nearly FREE, for the Rest of Your Life!

Obviously, having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for only a few pennies per quart is about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one needs it. 

And because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of a single nanometer – their effectiveness against colonies of pathogenic microbes is astonishing. 

Perhaps that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the effectiveness of their homemade micro-particle colloidal silver, as you can see at this web page full of real-life colloidal silver success stories.
