Establish A Safe And Effective Colloidal Silver Dosage

By Ruthie Calderon


Consumers who self-treat using alternative medicine need to learn about nutrients, dietary supplements, and the health food industry. This basic knowledge is necessary to make wise choices of products and treatments. Since no supplement or substance is absolutely fool proof - even water can be taken to excess, for instance - users need to proceed with caution and common sense. The correct colloidal silver dosage can work wonders, while taking too much or too little can only disappoint.

Experts say that ionic and protein formulas are not as desirable as the particulate suspension that is truly colloidal silver. The suspensions vary in strength, with the 'active ingredient' measured in parts per million. Reputable companies voluntarily subject their products to third party testing for purity, truth in labeling, and potency.

This mineral is not 'essential'; in other words, there is no daily minimum requirement for it or deficiency resulting from its absence in the body. However, it has been used for centuries and shown by modern research to be a natural antibiotic. Today, millions of people use it all over the world as a health aid, and many more benefit from its use in water purification.

The Silver Safety Committee is an organization dedicated to helping consumers learn about silver, the correct dosage for short or long term use, and the proper way to take this mineral. The interactive tool on their website uses a consumer's body weight and the ppm strength of a formula to determine the correct number of drops to take daily. The 'safe' level set by the US EPA is much higher than most recommended doses.

Solutions come in strength, from 5 to 500 ppm and possibly even stronger. The manufacturer should provide dosage directions on the label, as well as cautions. Some formulas are simply the colloidal mineral in a carrier solution, while others may have other therapeutic substances added. Most are designed to be taken orally, although there are topical products.

As with any supplement, there are standard dosages and uses as well as extreme methods practiced by those who may or may not know what they are doing. The advice of health professionals and of reputable manufacturers is generally more to be trusted than anecdotal or 'fringe' advice.

One dosage recommendation found online is one tablespoon of 5 ppm colloidal solution daily, preferably in divided doses. Most products are sold in 10 ppm potency, so the amount to be taken would be halved. Daily use boosts resistance to illness in general. A higher dose may be needed for recovery, but it will be taken for a short time only. No one should exceed the 'saturation point', when their systems have all the mineral they can absorb and use. Exceeding this level may cause skin irritations and rashes; simply decrease the dose slightly until these go away.

Taking the correct dose is key to success with this beneficial mineral. People treat eye infections, skin problems, fungus infections, burns, acne, and staph with it. Many claim it is effective against SARS, MRSA, the 'bird flu', and Ebola. Millions feel that their first aid kit or home medicine cabinet is incomplete without it.
