Articles on this site reflect the experiences of my wife, Angie.  The info below is the result of my interviewing her, and then posting the interview with the corresponding resources and links on this site.  We hope this helps you conduct your own research on your unique path to wellness.  Please enjoy!  Daniel.

Daniel: "Tell me why you use colloidal silver."

Angie: "Colloidal silver is something I would not want to be without.  I've experienced the Infections that are common to those with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, allergies, chemical sensitivities, interstitial cystitis, and other immune disorders.  This stuff has been amazing for me.  I've used it successfully for vaginal, ear, lung, sinus, skin, toe, eye and bladder infections. 
 
I've been using colloidal silver for probably over 15, and in my opinion it's saved me from the expense, the discomfort and side effects of antibiotics over and over.  Colloidal silver is something I feel passionate about.  I've tended to have severe side effects from antibiotics and I would have needed to be on them many times a year.  In my opinion, the silver helped me avoid that. 
 
Colloidal silver is just very, very tiny particles of silver in water.  I've got links to articles that describe the process that causes it to work here."
 
What I have read is that silver apparently kills the bacteria/virus/fungus on contact, and they can not build up an immunity to it as they can to antibiotics.  This is a huge advantage in my opinion.  Taking antibiotics too often and having those things build up resistance in your body to antibiotics is very dangerous. It puts people at risk down the road.
 
Once I had a bladder infection and was on antibiotics for about 10 days.  The infection and the fever with it  would not go away, and I was so sick from the antibiotic side effects.  Some time later I started on colloidal silver, and within a few days I was fine! "
Daniel:  "Since it's actually silver, is it expensive?"
 
Angie: "I use a Silvergen colloidal silver generator which is super easy to use, inexpensive to buy and run, and it saves me a ton of money to make my own.  I've read that the Silver Puppy is also a generator that has gotten good results. At this point, if you spread the cost of the silver maker which was not expensive, and the silver rods which are also pretty cheap, it doesn't cost me anything to make silver. 
 
Buying it in the store is pretty expensive, as I it runs into a lot of bucks to take enough for it to be very effective. By making my own, I have an unlimited and cheap supply and I can take as much as I need. However I will add that you can buy better quality silver from some manufacturers. There's a good colloidal silver site with comparisons of silver products. It also has a good discussion of the various forms of silver and their pros and cons."

Daniel: "You used silver to knock out a lung infection. Talk about that."

Angie: "I used the silver in a nebulizer. I was kind of nervous to try this, but I had a bad flu that caused a lung infection. I was coughing up lots of green. Of course at that time, I didn't have my Silvergen yet, but I had a low level basic colloidal silver generator which only made 2 parts per million silver solution. For breathing silver, I felt it was important to get the purest and best quality I could get. I'd come to believe that this is sovereign silver, though after talking with the Silvergen people, I would also feel comfortable using the silver created by the Silvergen machine.

The oral silver was not working, though I continued to take it orally. I've read that you need to get the silver to make contact with the area of infection. I had bought a nebulizer at a medical supply shop. I put a couple of droppers full of the sovereign silver in the nebulizer, and did 3 minutes of deep diaphram breathing. I had read that shallow breathing doesn't get it down there.

To do this I pushed all the air out till I couldn't get anymore out. I inhaled drawing the air down, imagining it fill up my belly first, then the top portion of my lungs. Shallow breathing seemed to make my lungs irritated, but I felt fine with the deep breathing.

I did this every hour for maybe 3-4 hours, then a couple of more times that evening. The next day I was doing somewhat better. I did this for a couple more days, and the infection was gone - Thank God!!! My doctor took a listen to my lungs and said they were clear. I continued a day past the last signs of infection, tapering down as the infection tapered down.

Quite honestly, I don't know if there are any long term issues. I have chosen to use it anyway.  It's a personal choice. I've done it many times since, and the many folks I've spoken with don't think there is any long term issues. With silver I didn't have to deal with the harsh side effects of the antibiotics.
 
I feel I did better than my hubby who went on zithromax at the first sign of infection. I got sick after him by almost a week, and my lungs were better before his.  This is not typical for us, considering the health challenges I've had.

I also would add that I continued with what I normally do during a cold or flu, though none of that prevented or fixed the lung infection without the silver in the nebulizer.

Daniel:  "Do you experience any side effects?"

Angie: "For me there have been no side effects. This is amazing considering I have had extreme problems from antibiotics.  In my experience I found that silver does kill a little of the good bacteria as antibiotics do if you use a lot of it, but not nearly to the extent that antibiotics do. It's so negligible that many other folks believe it doesn't kill good bacteria at all.  If it does, it's very mild.  I'm going to link you to some sites that give good explanations on how to use silver, and what it does rather than talk technical with you. 

The one remote but possible problem discussed on the web is Argyria, which is a skin discoloration problem.  From what I could dig up, it appears to be extremely rare. It's experienced by folks taking a different form of silver than what I use, or those taking huge quantities with a severe deficiency in vitamin E and selenium.  I've never met or heard of anyone first hand who got this. I used to drink many glasses of silver a day and never had a problem. Still it doesn't hurt to be careful, so I use what's recommended.  I'll give you a link to an explanation of this for the folks reading this.

I researched the issue on the net, and spoke to some industry people.  I feel very comfortable taking the silver.  I just observe the basic recommendations concerning quantity, and I take vitamin E and selenium when I am taking silver.  I've never had a problem and I've never met anyone else who has.

Angie's Notes

- When taking silver orally, I hold it under my tongue for 30-60 seconds for sublingual absorption.

- I take silver a few hours apart from acidopholus.

- I take acidopholus, during the time period and after using silver.

- I take vitamin E & selenium during the times I'm taking silver.  I read that argyria (which appears to be extremely rare) could be caused by a deficiency in these two things. (See colloidal silver safety links). 

- It's my understanding that home made silver is good for a month or two. It should be stored away from light (that's why you always see it packaged in dark glass), and away from magnetic or electrical things, if I'm not mistaken. It should also be stored in glass.

- If the silver has been sitting for a month or two, I chuck it and make a new batch. It really doesn't cost anything.

- I've read that some store bought silvers are actually fairly useless by the time you get it. I think it would depend on the brand, how long it's been in the store, if it's been exposed to light, etc.
 
- If I do have an sinus infection or virus, or other types of infection, I do often take other things as well as the silver to add power to the punch.  Silver has been really effective for me, even alone, but I prefer to go at infection with an aggressive approach.  Also, if I am fighting an infection, it may make me more vulnerable to viruses and fungus.  I usually go after all three when fighting an infection.
