Colloidal Silver

Posted by Art (California) on 03/14/2024 2126 posts

Hi again, mcw,

Sovereign Silver is definitely ionic silver as shown in this study of commercial colloidal silver products :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7765683/

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' The absence of the plasmon band characteristic of dispersed silver nanoparticles clearly shows that 10 of the 14 products evaluated (~70%) contain silver in ionic form and should not be labeled “colloidal silver”. It appears that the large majority of manufacturers are either not aware or are simply ignoring that stable “colloidal silver” dispersions should be colored even at very low silver concentration. Four manufacturers (NaturalImunogenics, Sovereign Silver, Naturally Sourced LLC, and SilverDoc) attempt to “solve” this conundrum by claiming that the particles in their products are too small (0.8 nm) to absorb electromagnetic radiation and thus display color (Note: Based on our data and the identical value of the particle size given on the labels, these four companies appear to be selling the same product under different names).'

It is a mystery to me why these manufacturers don't spend the extra money in production costs to convert their products to actual colloidal silver, but they don't and instead try to pass their products off as colloidal silver instead of the ionic silver that it is. The cost difference to make actual colloidal silver is relatively small, especially for a commercial supplier who is making their product in large quantities.

Lorraine, I am 86 and have been using DMSO, 99% 60/40 solution DMSO/distilled water for 50 years in my nebulizer for a serious lung condition. I add oregano oil 5 drops in the nebulizer if I have a cough. Read Politics In Healing by Daniel Haley, you won't be able to put it down. Blessings!!!


Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation

RESTORE POOR LUNG HEALTH COMPLETELY BACK TO NORMAL!

I have cured supposedly incurable lung problems and the cure is super simple and totally logical.

First off I smoked 2-3 packs a day, and was poisoned by working in hazardous jobs, welding inside large galvanized tanks and breathing the fumes, breathing aluminum dust in coolant from grinding pistons on a government job, plus inhalation of MEK, a nerve toxin, AND MY LAST JOB HAD TO QUIT EARLY (5 months before my retirement at 63! ) BECAUSE OF WOOD-WORKERS LUNG! Just to name a few things (among others) I got VERY sick from!

Needless to say in my 60's my blood/oxygen levels were very poor, and I would gasp and wheeze and be out of breath all the time.

HERE'S THE CURE! Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide! In my research, I read somewhere where some medical clinics would feed a saline/peroxide solution directly into the arteries that feed the lungs and cause a foaming action that would cleanse them after the patient coughed their brains out! And often allow the patient to withdraw the use of oxygen tanks and machines! So that gave me an idea!

I bought one of those CONAIR Facial Spa face steamers (off ebay) that has a stainless steel bottom (must have a stainless bottom NOT aluminum or plated steel that will react with the peroxide) and cut a piece of 3-1/4" OD thin-wall PVC pipe (for your mouth) to replace the large clear flexible top, and then using a (mix of) distilled water with added 5-10 drops of 5 food grade hydrogen peroxide I would breathe-in the steam it created at night before bed 2-3 times per week then give it a rest for 2-3 weeks, off and on! And yes it makes you cough, but that help to evict the toxins embedded into your lungs and regenerate new lung tissue!

I did this for about two years off and on and my lungs came back to 0 normal. Now my lungs are fine and that in and of itself is a miracle considering my lungs were pretty much shot to hell. AND, several drops of 5 Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide in Distilled Water turned into STEAM is what did it!

Oh yea and take some vitamins/herbs specifically for your lungs, AND, you MUST exercise hard enough to stimulate your lungs and heart, push them, gasping and wheezing and everything while you jog, swim, etc! Little by little you will feel your lungs return as you gain more ground!

I am now 66 and still do the occasional hydrogen peroxide and water steam treatments once or twice every month or two to keep them in great shape and this is a hidden secret for getting your singing voice back as well. I can now sing as good or better than I could some 20 years ago! It is amazing! This is a miracle cure for your lungs!


Buteyko Breathing

Ok I am reading your question years later, but for others. Yes, Butyenko therapy really helped. We are now 8 years further, and my panic attacks never came back. My breathing has improved and I haven't had any problems ever since. I still do it almost every day, sometimes for 15min. sometimes for hour and a half. Depending on how hard I need it. Nowdays I just do it to calm my nerves and muscles around the middle.

EC: Thank you so much for updating your post after so many years. Much appreciated!


Lemon Juice and Baking Soda for Lung Nodules

Greetings everyone. I hope you and your families are well! I HATE DRUGS, PERIOD!!! I was told last year that I had 5/6 nodules in my lungs after a cat scan. I used to be so tired and would even fall asleep behind the wheel. Sometimes I used to exit the highway and close my eyes 15,20 or whatever time I needed to be back on the road. I refused all meds and resulting to praying to GOD, THE ALMIGHTY!!! GOD helped me discovered that lemon and baking so is 1000 times safer and much better, much quicker than chemotherapy.

I took 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 8 oz cup of organic lemon juice.

This I took on an empty stomach and waited 40 minutes before eating fruits in the morning.

I did this for 30 days and when the doctors thought that it was safe again to perform another cat scan, they did. The results were great!!! No more cysts or nodules in my lungs, thanks to GOD THE ALMIGHTY!!! I pray my post will help!!! I love this site, thanks a lot!!!


Colloidal Silver

In reply to Alice (Tucson),

Something to consider when delivering a substance to the lungs is the total interior surface area of the lungs which on average is equivalent to half the size of a regulation tennis court.

https://www.reference.com/science/surface-area-human-lungs-ffc6ae1756c2f2e

With that thought in mind, I am doubtful that 1/4 teaspoon of MesoSilver @ 20 ppm is going to go very far in trying to cover that large of an area and the delivery rate of a nebulizer may be a bit low also. An ultrasonic humidifier can deliver a much larger amount in a given period of time.

Let's assume that you have a 500 ml bottle of MesoSilver 20 ppm. If that is actually the case, then your bottle contains only 10 mg of silver. You stated you are using only 1/4 teaspoon of the MesoSilver per day. There are approximately 405 of these 1/4 teaspoon doses in your bottle. If you divide the 10 mg of silver by the number of doses (405 doses), you will get the approximate dose of silver per 1/4 teaspoon as this is the way you say you are using it. 10 mg / 405 = .0246913580246914 mg per daily dose! At that rate it will take you over a year ( to get just 10 mgs of colloidal silver!

These may be contributing factors to why your progress might be less than you hoped for.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Tried the dropper of brown bottle (3%) hydrogen peroxide mixed with a dose of saline solution (the standard prescribed nebulizer dose) through a nebulizer - the effects were great - one dose and my lungs are completely clear (after 2 months of Abuteral, meds, had no effect)

One thing - right after I finished with the nebulizer I coughed up so much phlegm and stuff from my lungs and then all was clear and I could breath normal again - first time in months - just be careful if your lungs are too congested that you loosen everything up slowly.


DMSO, Colloidal Silver

Posted by Danny D. (Cincinnati, Ohio ) on 03/15/2014

I am Danny and I am from Cincinnati, Ohio, I'd like to share this as I was not feeling good for several years and always tired.

I smoked for 37 years and quit as the doctors at the University of Cincinnati discovered lung nodules in both of my lungs. And said they were gonna monitor them for 2 yrs for growth. But I read a lot about DMSO and other stuff, because I like natural stuff.

So I bought some 50/50 dmso solution from the original doctor in Oregon, and some colloidal silver called Meso Silver off the internet. And took a teaspoon of each day, and sometimes in a nebulizer I purchased, but mostly in a teaspoon.

Well, my 1st visit back in 6 months was last week. The nodules in my lungs were gone without a trace, my high blood pressure is normal again. And I do have mild COPD from smoking so many yrs, but since I quit, I breathe much better with no medicine.

The only side effects I got were a little insomnia and constipation. So I stopped taking it a couple weeks ago, but I'll continue again soon. Because it's done other things in my body!

From a separate CT scan of my stomach. I knew I had multiple nodes on my kidneys from a previous mri. All but 1 was gone and very tiny, a hemorrhoid I had for years feels like it's almost gone, my foot heels and dry skin on my hands also, vanished and a callus on my foot healed from the inside and tried for years to get rid of it.

I had high blood pressure several years, heart palpitations that also vanished as well as the blood pressure going back to normal with no medication. I'm very thankful for dmso and also use the 70/30 solution. The doctor said my lungs look great and no trace of the nodules ever being there. I truly attribute it too dmso and am very grateful for removing some of the worry in my life.


Oil Pulling with Magnesium

Posted by Caitlin (Austin Texas) on 02/21/2014

I just finished an oil-pulling session after about 2 months not doing so. Miserable with the Texas flu (TWICE), left me tired and unwilling to oil pull. Although 13 minutes is all I could manage, a copious amount of flu mucus spilled from my lungs. Something told me to do it again. But this time, I added a spray of magnesium oil to a teaspoon of Virgin Ccoconut Oil. Whoa! I only pulled 5 minutes before I had to spit out even more, thicker mucus and had a definite feeling that something old was finally released from my lungs. My lungs feel NEW and I am taking deeper breaths. I feel a great sense of peace, not anxiety. I plan to oil pull every day again as there are just too many positive results and plain stupid to not do so. Perhaps I would not have caught this flu twice if I had not stopped. One thing I have observed in the past with oil-pulling over time is that the initial sore jaws results in a leaner and tighter face -- a facelift of sorts. Anyone else notice this? CAT


Cilantro

Lung Congestion

After recovering from pneumonia, I continued to have chronic lung congestion. Coincidentally, my son in Texas mentioned a salsa recipe he'd made and suggested I give it a try. He insisted I use fresh cilantro for superior taste. Well, within 5 minutes of making and sampling the salsa, I coughed up an enormous amount of thick phlegm and breathed easier for the rest of the night. By morning, some sleep congestion returned. I made eggs, and since I had fresh cilantro left over from the salsa, I put it on the eggs. Once again, the congestion cleared, with lots of phlegm purged. All within 5-10 minutes of eating the cilantro.

Thinking maybe I had imagined the results, I went a week without trying the cilantro again. The congestion came back. I ate cilantro again, and the phlegm cleared again. I've repeated that test many times since then, and each time cilantro has proven to be my hero. My aunt, who has emphysema (COPD), tried it and got similar good results.
My lung doctor, originally from India, swears by cilantro (and coriander, which includes the whole plant, not just the leaves). The last time I went for a checkup, he declared that my lungs were completely clear and told me to keep eating cilantro.

So now I cook with cilantro several times a week, no matter what. And whenever I travel, I take a small bottle of dried cilantro to sprinkle on my food.
