A half a cup a few times a day until you feel better, not forever. I and others I know have taken plenty of homemade silver colloidal over years, not made with anything but 99.999% per silver and distilled water, and have not turned blue. Don't believe everything they tell you. Medicine in this country still uses silver for any number of treatments such as for burns and wounds. They just don't want you to use it instead of expensive medicine, which almost always has many bad side effects, including deadly allergic reactions for some people, growing immunity to drugs and a need for increasingly stronger does and varieties of drugs, and the death of healthy microorganisms that are suppose to be in the human body and aid it in many important ways. Of course awful side effects are perfectly acceptable to most, as long as they are brought to you by the American medical system.

.....When it is pointed out that colloidal and nano-silver are used by NASA, Potters for Peace, the Hong Kong Subway System, Cure-Aid, and major hospital burn units, the detractors often concede that perhaps it works externally; however, they maintain that when it is taken internally it causes dangerous toxicity due to silver build-up. In a familiar refrain when it comes to silver and other alternatives to mainstream drugs, it is also claimed that colloidal silver taken internally has no "scientifically" proven benefits. One of the most widely publicized warnings is that colloidal silver causes people to turn blue due to a skin condition known as argyria.

Yet, the EPA says that 90-95% of ingested silver particles are eliminated from the body within two days and 99% are gone within a week (1). Furthermore, the bluest of the blue people, "Papa Smurf" Paul Karason was given a clean bill of health at Mount Sinai Hospital. (2) Karason, like the Montana senator who has bluish skin, did not actually take colloidal silver. Instead, he took large quantities of home-made ionic silver made with tap water and contaminated with salt for a prolonged period of time.

When it comes to scientific studies regarding the benefits of internal silver, last year it was reported that researchers in Hungary found specific silver receptors on human tissue - an indication that silver plays an important role in human health. (3) A joint study between the University of Texas and Mexico University published in the Journal of Nanotechnology showed that silver nano-particles of sizes 1-10nm attached to HIV-1 prevented the virus from bonding to host cells.....

Thank you for the info on the silver. I take a little bit daily. I’d like to start making it myself but feel aprehensive, i.e. scared to screw it up and poison myself.
