What is Colloidal Silver? | SilverLungs Colloidal Silver Generator

True "colloidal" silver is a concentration of nano-sized particles of silver suspended in a liquid while true "ionic" silver is a concentration of silver ions suspended in a liquid.

The SilverLungs (pH) colloidal silver generator provides protocols for producing purely ionic silver solutions and highly particle-rich (i.e. colloidal) solutions. Ionic solutions are best suited for low salt environments such as the eyes, ears, nose, lungs and topically to the skin, while particle rich (colloidal) solutions are best suited for exposure to high salt environments such as the stomach and blood. Although silver ions are the smallest form of silver that carry a positive electro-static "oxidizing" charge, they are highly reactive to salt and other (anions) and can form less powerful silver compounds such as silver chloride (AgCl). Having the ability to produce both forms of ionic and colloidal silver solutions covers the full spectrum of silver supplementation.

Now, owning a professional-class silver generating device allows you to finally break your independence of silver solution manufacturers and their far-reaching "claims." The last thing they want you to know is that you should be making your own colloidal silver solutions right from home!

Source, Wikipedia: Silver ions and silver compounds show a toxic effect on bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi, typical for heavy metals like lead or mercury, but without the high toxicity to humans normally associated with these other metals.

Hippocrates, the "father of medicine" wrote that silver had beneficial healing and anti-disease properties, and the Phoenicians stored water, wine, and vinegar in silver bottles to prevent spoiling. In the early 20th century, people would put silver coins in milk bottles to prolong the milk's freshness. Its germicidal effects increased its value in utensils and as jewelry. The exact process of silver's germicidal effect is still not entirely understood, although theories exist. One of these is the oligodynamic effect.

Silver is widely used in topical gels and impregnated into bandages because of its wide-spectrum anti-microbial activity. The anti-microbial properties of silver stem from the chemical properties of its ionized form, Ag+. This ion forms strong molecular bonds with other substances used by bacteria to respire, such as molecules containing sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. When the Ag+ ion forms a complex with these molecules, they are rendered unusable by the bacteria, depriving them of necessary compounds and eventually leading to their death.

Silver compounds were used to prevent infection in World War I before the advent of antibiotics. Silver nitrate solution use continued, then was largely replaced by silver sulfadiazine cream, which generally became the "standard of care" for the antibacterial and antibiotic treatment of serious burns until the late 1990s. Now, other options, such as silver-coated dressings (activated silver dressings), are used in addition to SSD cream.

There has been renewed interest in silver as a broad-spectrum anti-microbial agent. One application has silver being used with alginate, a naturally occurring biopolymer derived from seaweed, in a range of products designed to prevent infections as part of wound management procedures, particularly applicable to burn victims. In 2007, a company introduced a glass product they claimed had antibacterial properties by coating the glass with a thin layer of silver.

In addition, in 2007 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an endotracheal breathing tube with a fine coat of silver for use in mechanical ventilation, after studies found it reduced the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

In lay terms, it is commonly believed that a bacterial agent - in the presence of nano-sized silver particles and ions - will become suffocated through a chemical process called "Catalytic Oxidation".

Other research shows that ionic silver can rob electrons from proteins and/or enzymes that a virus needs to survive and the same result is achieved indirectly by disabling these associated components required for the survival of a virus.

Ionic silver has been shown to regenerate cells that have been destroyed by disease or physical damage. Silver-infused bandages are commonly used in hospitals and burn wards to protect against infection and to greatly reduce tissue scarring.

Simply put, Paul Karason made the mistake of adding (salt) to his distilled water as a catalyst to reduce the production time of his homemade silver solution. Paul was unaware that salt or other additives should never be incorporated into the "electrolysis" process when creating proper colloidal/ionic silver. While adding salt greatly reduced Paul's time to create his silver solution, it actually created a completely different compound called silver chloride. This silver compound (consumed in the tremendous concentrations Paul was producing) has been shown to cause a harmless skin discoloration condition called "Argyria." Silver chloride is in no way the same as pure colloidal/ionic silver based on a distilled water suspension.

Considering the facts and details surrounding Paul Karason's unfortunate situation, it should be known that no cases of Argyria have ever been linked to properly produced colloidal/ionic silver that were absent of salt and other additives. Paul's condition is the result of years of ingesting extremely high doses of silver chloride and not the result of waking up blue.

Due to Federal laws that govern "supplemental" health, we can only provide suggestions concerning the administration of the silver solutions produced through The SilverLungs (pH) colloidal silver generator.

Dosage is not a concern topically when dressing wounds, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, etc. We suggest a simple daily maintenance dose of 1 tablespoon for keeping silver consistently present in the system. Nebulizing (i.e. breathing) the silver solution across 24-48 inhalations is suggested for a 72 hour cyclical maintenance regimen. For targeting the nasal environment, we suggest 6-12 sprays (per nostril) spread evenly across the day as desired. All of these suggested dosages fall well-under the EPA 'safe' recommended daily intake of silver which has been established at 350 micrograms.

Our research shows that silver over-dosing is more of a concern when consuming highly-concentrated silver solutions exceeding (100-500 PPM). These solutions are usually comprised of very large particles and groups of agglomerated silver excess from animal proteins and citrates required to create these high concentrations (which greatly reduces the quality and integrity of the silver solution.)

The SilverLungs (pH) colloidal silver generator was designed specifically to create extremely high-quality nano-sized particles and ions which greatly reduces any risk of agglomeration at the very low and safe concentrations produced.

Properly produced colloidal/ionic silver has a long shelf life extending well-beyond a year, conservatively.

Glass colored bottles (amber or blue) are recommended for storage as they protect the ionic silver content from exposure to UV rays (sunlight) which will "photo-reduce" the ionic content and slowly degrade the ions in solution. Glass is the material of choice as it is considered to be chemically inert.

Many types of plastic storage vessels are not recommended as they can react with the silver content and alter or degrade the integrity over time. If plastic is used as a storage medium, we recommend these three types of plastics as your first choices: PET, PETE and HDPE. Silver solutions should be stored in a cool, dark place as an additional step toward preserving shelf-life and overall quality.

Do not freeze (any) colloidal silver solution as this will force the metallic silver content to agglomerate into enormous "chunks" of silver - greatly degrading the colloidal silver content and integrity.
