Has anybody used Mesosilver? It is labelled a colloidal but the nanoparticles are under 1 nanometer, and I am just wondering if people have had success or not with it. I was using Source Naturals 30ppm and felt like the results were miraculous, but got this Mesosilver and don't feel it is as effective, although 8.5oz cost around $30 (reason for buying).

I have used it for years and it works the best for me. You can nebulize colloidal silver and 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, equal amounts to help with pneumonia.

How much colloidal silver is used in a nebulizer and how often per day? This wb for the treatment of pneumonia.

BTW – Anyone wanting to build there own ultrasonic nebulizer? I just built one and so can you. I posted the plans online and it's SIMPLE TO BUILD.
DIY Nebulizer Design That Is Affordable NO DRILLING

Using off-the-shelf parts to create a low-cost, DIY respiratory nebulizer.

I put together this device that can deliver aerosolized medication. There is NO DRILLING NEEDED which means any one at any skill level (not rocket science) can make this nebulizer.

There are only 2 key parts. A essential oil ultrasonic diffuser (GuruNadna bought on Amazon $18 USD) and a 7/16 O.D. clear tubing about 7 inches long (Bought at Ace Hardware $1 USD).

Thanks Rob,

I found the provided link has issues due to an extra http:// at the beginning of the url. Here is the url that worked for me.

Thank you ivybridge for correcting the link.

I want to share this from a book I am currently reading about nebulizing inhalants.

From the Book: Journal of the American Medical Association, Volume 86, p. 551-553,1926.

MEDICATION OF THE RESPIRATORY AIR CURRENT

The following general principles may serve for guidance in the choice of sprays and inhalations:

1. The finer the particles, the deeper into the respiratory tract extends their action. Hence, for medicating the upper air passages, coarse sprays should be used; for the lower air passages, fine sprays must be employed. Only gases enter the alveoli; and these are so actively absorbed as to be liable to produce general rather than local action, with the exception of highly irritant gases, such as chlorine, which cannot be inhaled in sufficient concentration to produce more than local effect. Non-volatile or slightly volatile bodies, on the other hand, are not so actively absorbed from the respiratory tract; and these, more or less medicated or flavored, are useful for topical action.

2. Moist inhalations are preferable in dry catarrh; "dry" inhalations in catarrhal conditions with profuse secretion. Most prominent among the latter class of inhalations are the vapors of volatile oil, which tend to lessen secretion and antagonize offensive odors of the sputum and breath.

3. Steam inhalations are grateful in acute inflammatory conditions of the respiratory passages: they soften mucus, favor expectoration, diminish irritation and lessen cough. They should not, however, be immediately followed by exposure to cold dry air, chronic catarrh, hot inhalations are not suitable. They increase the sensitiveness of the membrane on exposure to cold. Cold inhalations, by means of nebulizers, are here more advantageous.

4. In acute dry inflammatory conditions of the respiratory passages, not only steam but also "nebulized" liquid petrolatum, plain or mildly medicated, may be usefully employed by inhalation and is safer than steam inhalation, when the patient does not stay indoors afterward. In chronic inflammation with profuse secretion, more strongly medicated petrolatum sprays or volatile oil vapor inhalations are resorted to.

5. Of course, whenever possible, substances of an agreeable odor should be preferred for medication of the respiratory tract.

6. We cannot reach, by inhalation, tissue not exposed to the air current. In no disease have inhalations been more abused than in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Even though it be a disease of the lungs, tuberculous tissue is completely outside the air passages, as the tuberculous process obliterates those that were present in the involved area. Inhalation is of value in tuberculosis to modify the accompanying bronchitis, or to lessen the offensiveness of sputum; but against the tuberculous process itself it is impotent.

There are five different methods of medicating the respiratory air current: (1 ) gas inhalation, (2 ) steam inhalation, (3) vapor inhalation, (4) spray inhalation and (5) smoke (fog) inhalation.
