Ionic Silver is nearly tasteless (slightly bitter), odourless and non-stinging to sensitive tissues. It may be taken orally, gargled, dropped into eyes or ears, poured on open wounds and burns, used vaginally, anally, atomized or inhaled into the nose or lungs.

Ionic silver features the following beneficial characteristics:

• Being ionic it has a positive charge and thus is highly reactive, permitting it to strongly bind;
• It is of such small size (10,000 times smaller then body cells) that it can easily pass thru cell membranes, where viruses reside.
  
  The silver ion has been proven to enhance the auto-immune system and thus helps to regenerate tissue and bone, eliminate oxidized cells and many other diseased or abnormal conditions.
  
  It is known to kill 650 different kinds of pathogens, including bacteria, fungus, viruses, germs, parasites such as Giardia by inhibiting the enzyme which allows their oxygen metabolism.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the suggested daily intake:

The EPA reference dose (safe daily intake for life - 70 years 70 Kg person) of 5 PPM ionic silver is 14 teaspoons. This is based on the 90% elimination rate from a sensitive persons body in 24 hours.  The computed fatal dose is 500 gallons in one day.  Most references suggest 1 tablespoon per day as a supplement, much less then the EPA allowance.  Children under twelve would generally take one-half the adult dosage.  Many report excellent results with homeopathic doses of a few drops per day. The condition of your immune system and level of resident infections would of course determine required doses for good health.


Topical Uses  (Apply to a bandage or compress or directly on skin for):

Oral Uses (For treatment of) :

Has also been proven effective against other pathogens such as:

Before 1938,  many affectations and pathogens were successfully treated. However, the following is a documented list of silver-"resistant" bacteria (spelling as cited):

1. Citrobacter Freundii  
2. Enterobacter Cloacae
3. Enterobacteriaceae (some strains)
4. Klebsiella Pneumoniae  
5. P. Stutzeri (some strains)
6. Klebsiella Pneumoniae
7. P. Stutzeri (some strains)
8. Proteus Mirabilis
9. Vegetative B. Cereus Spores
