Were you aware that antibiotic resistance is quickly becoming a  nightmare? Traditional antibiotics continue to lose their ability to kill certain strains of bacteria. To date, nearly every disease causing organism known has become resistant to at least one antibiotic, and several are immune to more than one. Scientists have known since the dawn of antibiotic age that the more an antibiotic is used, the quicker it tends to become useless due to bacterial resistance.

On the other hand, most microbes, germs, and bacteria cannot develop resistance to silver as they can to antibiotics. This has been proven repeatedly in various studies conducted by many independent laboratories.

So, which concentration is best, and dosage guides?

The article Kelley wrote suggested using 500ppm. Anything under at will suffice from what I hear.

Is there a pinned topic anywhere about this? I looked but didnt see it. There should be biggrin.gif
I just ordered from n-ergetics the 500ppm ... its in a different place from the others for some reason, anyway. Just so everyone knows they have amazing fast shipping.

I agree. I think I will pin this whistling.gif I always wanted to write something up but I felt a little strange doing so, assuming no one would pay attention and whatnot tongue2.gif
SRC has done a wonderful job with so many links. Just perfect.

By the way, that gray Rose lady is one of the only people in the world who ever came down with argyria, it's not common at all.

Thanks for the very thorough information, and I think it'd be a great topic to pin yes.gif, I've also bookmarked some of the links you provided. I got my bottle in the mail today.

Check out 2002 senate hopeful Stan Jones wink.gif
True-blue bids for Senate
Argyria used to be more common back before the days of antibiotics, but now not many people take silver suppliments often enough to cause discolouration.
As I understand it, argyria would be avoidable with just a little common sense... I mean come on, anyone who takes massive doses of anything daily for years is going to have some side-effects.

Hey I thought of a question. I've been reading how well it kills bacteria so I wondered does it affect the good bacteria any in a cycled tank?

No, it won't effect the beneficial bacteria, unless you use way, way too much and it runs out of bad bacteria to destroy. It's 'attracted' to the negative bacteria first and foremost, and not the beneficial. I've used it in my cycled tanks with no alterations to my readings. They say if you are taking it orally and heavily, you should eat yogurt and such to keep beneficial bacteria in your system. I remember a member from here used a LOT in her small cycled tank and it ddn't cause it to crash or anything.

Here's my favorite silver link..

Thanks for the info Wuv, and that's an amazing story. I'm fascinated by all I'm reading about it. Too true about the government and money aspect no.gif. I've long believed in alternative and holistic medicine, my vet even does some holistic practice along with conventional. I think that's the way to go. I look forward to trying this out thumbs-up.gif

Hmm, I'm confused - doesn't make sense to me. Especially when I read your link - found this in it...

"Dr. Henry Crooks in Use of Colloids in Health-Disease found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely nontoxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he concluded "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six minutes."

AAll bacteria are microbes, both good and bad. I would love to know more about how silver differentiates between them. yes.gif

It will kill beneficial bacteria if you take/give more than you should,as I said.
It won't,however, kill beneficial enzymes the way antibiotics do. I obviously didn't word it clearly.

QUOTE
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, Colloidal Silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life.


From my understanding, beneficial microbes send out a charge very similar to that of silver's charge- hence not attacking it first.

Hmm, interesting. I think it works great, don't get me wrong, I'm a convert simply because of the evidence I see in my tank and in others. I'm just having trouble aligning some of what I'm reading about it with my understanding of immunology and cellular biology. Guess I'll just have to do a bit more digging. thumbs-up.gif
