Stan: ASAP silver performed a study on the efficacy of colloidal silver against the bacteria, in-vitro. The time-kill study showed the elimination of ~ 97% bacteria in about 45 minutes.
No disrespect intended to the fine folks at ASAP, but one could expect, roughly, a 40% increase in efficacy if a high quality colloidal silver were used. It's very hard to qualify a 45 minute time-kill study, and I would have liked to have seen a plot of the progress. If treating tuberculosis, I would personally approach the matter very aggressively, using a nebulizer ( or oxygen nebulizer preferrably ) every ten minutes for a period of at least two hours intervals, if tolerable, with a break after the two hour interval. Remember that in order for CS to be effective, it must maintain contact with the infection in sufficient concentration to continually reduce the bacterial counts. I've never personally seen a case of tuberculosis treated with CS, but I have had numerous opportunities to pit colloidal silver against some very severe lung infections. I have found that frequency of use is important, especially with bronchial infections, as very little ( relatively speaking ) of the silver remains coated on the bronchial tubes. Utilizing cayenne pepper of high HU mixed in warm water, by holding it in the mouth until one can no longer do so ( then swallowing ), rapidly assisted CS nebulizer use in the one infection I've encountered to date that did not completely respond to the colloidal silver. One utilizes the cayenne pepper orally just prior to nebulizing. It was quite amazing, actually. All of that said, I have no idea how effective it would be in the body against tuberculosis, but I would not hesitate to find out in short order.
