You'll have to find out the *exact* definition of what the book means by CS. What we use around here is "electro-colloidal silver" or "ionic silver." That is, a mostly silver solution made by passing electricity through pure water using silver electrodes -- the solutions are about 80 to 90% silver ions with the rest being sub-microscopic silver particles that remain suspended in the water (a colloid). We mostly don't talk about silver compounds, mechanically produced colloidal silver or the various protein-stabilized silver solutions -- none of which is CS. >Now, from reading the posts here it sounds like many of you have been taking >it for years and are taking over 5 ppm. Quite correct. >Her husbands book is a medical book. She refused to buy our store products >which range from 10 ppm to 45 ppm. All of which I've taken but only when >needed for sinus infections. My boyfriend however would like to take them >regularly as he has asthma. What is safe to take and will it help his asthma? Many use CS as a normal part of their diet -- CS is NOT a medicine, it's a trace mineral supplement (much like selenium, chromium, copper, etc.). Since almost everyone's diet is entirely lacking in silver, and the human body requires silver for some of it's functions, a daily supplement seems useful. Asthma is helped by inhaling CS from a nebulizer, either ultrasonic or compressed air. The list archives (see bottom of message for URL) contain instructions on Bob Brooks' groups homemade nebulizer. >Also, I have my grandmother taking it. She is 86 and recently had a fever over >104.

She is drinking a ton of water, Could the CS make her thirsty? (I know >she didn't drink much while she was sick so maybe she's making up for lost >fluids. CS doesn't seem to make me thirsty, and I've heard/read no other comments to that effect. As I mentioned above, CS should be a regular part of a diet. Your grandmother most likely got a lot of trace minerals in her diet as a child (my dad did), and her body now needs them. A general trace mineral supplement, such as Willard Water, might be useful for her (and you :) -- Dean -- from (almost) Des Moines -- KB0ZDF -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
