What Are the Benefits of Colloidal Silver Generators?
Silver has been used for millennium as a healing agent. The Romans used it to treat wounds, and up to the advent of penicillin and other antibiotic pharmaceuticals, silver nitrate was used for the treatment of typhoid, syphilis and tuberculosis. Today, proponents of colloidal silver believe that it has proven antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and is an effective antiseptic. Many products called colloidal silver are actually ionic silver. The difference lies in the production of each and their application. Ionic silver is by definition a compound of silver and another element. When ionic silver reaches the stomach, it combines with chloride atoms (derived from the hydrochloride acid found in the stomach) to become an inert silver chloride salt. True colloidal silver will be 50% to 80% particles and the rest will be silver ions.

US FDA Oversight
-
FDA has approved some silver products as wound dressings In the United States, colloidal and ionic silver products available for sale vary widely in price and quality. There is also lack of widespread information about the distinction between the two types of products and much debate about the efficacy of one over the other. While the FDA has not approved the use of colloidal silver as a drug, it is currently sold as a supplement. Further, the FDA has approved the use of some silver products containing ionic silver, as dressings for wounds.

Owning a Colloidal Silver Generator
-
Controlling the purity of the product is a good reason to own a generator Consumers who want to ensure that they have uncontaminated colloidal silver will do well to purchase their own colloidal silver generator. A search on the Internet will yield numerous sites with generators for sale or instructions on how to build your own generator. Production of high quality colloidal silver rests on the generator's ability to produce a constant current that will ensure that the current flow maintains a constant value with regulators that increase or decrease the voltage as the amount of silver in the water increases the resistivity. This will ensure that the suspension is even. There will be a mild discoloration of the water with this type of process.
Using a Colloidal Silver Generator
-
Colloidal silver generators use water, silver and electricity to produce the suspension Colloidal silver generators use distilled water, pure silver and electricity to produce the suspension. Some generators are run on small batteries and may have constant voltage but not constant current. The more expensive generators run on house current and use regulators to maintain a constant current. Determine the dosage you want and utilize reference materials to calculate the length of time to charge the water.
How Colloidal Silver Works
-
Colloidal Silver deoxygenizes viruses Silver acts as a catalyst to oxidize the surface of bacteria and destroy the cell's respiration capacity. Only anaerobic (nitrogen breathing) bacteria are killed by the colloidal silver. The friendly flora in human intestines breathes oxygen and is not harmed by colloidal silver.
Warnings
-
Overuse can cause aygyria Use of colloidal silver has not been approved by the FDA as a drug. Some individuals who have taken regular doses of colloidal or ionic silver products developed aygyria, an irreversible condition characterized by bluish gray skin, and organ damage.
