Daily Dosage:
Dose: For daily prevention, users should take a tablespoonful of 10 ppm and hold it their mouth for a full minute to allow intraoral (sublingual) absorption rapidly and effectively into the bloodstream. I personally have taken a tablespoonful of 40 ppm almost daily for the last 15 years with no adverse effects.
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 1/2 ounce =15 cc. Health stores sell 5 to 10 ppm because their low-tech generators cannot produce a stable product with higher concentration and high Zeta Potential. Biophysica colloidal generators are able to make higher ppm for surface cleaning and disinfecting and still be clear and stable.
The EPA established an oral Reference Dose (RfD), or daily intake limit, of 0.005 mg/kg/day according to the EPA Reregistration Eligibility Document (RED), issued in August of 1993. For a 70 kg person, this is 350 micrograms of silver. 1 part per million (ppm) is equivalent to 1 microgram per milliliter. Therefore an ounce of 10 ppm Colloidal Silver contains 300 micrograms.
Because of its submicroscopic atomic size, COLLOIDAL SILVER is rapidly absorbed and excreted within hours. THE USUAL PROBLEM IS NOT TAKING ENOUGH to achieve and maintain a full 5 ppm concentration in the 10 liters of body fluids.
Zane Baranowski, in his excellent booklet “Colloidal Silver” (page 12,) describes in detail what the optimal daily intake of silver for a healthy person would be. It is around 300 micrograms, which he states corresponds to two ounces or 4 tablespoonfuls (60 ml) of 5ppm (5 mg/L or 5 ug/mL) COLLOIDAL SILVER.
The recommendation of Biophysica and many health practitioners has been to take Colloidal Silver Solution daily for 15 years as a preventive against flu and other viruses. For daily prevention and nutrition, take a tablespoonful of 10 ppm and hold it your mouth for a full minute to allow intraoral (sublingual) absorption rapidly and effectively into the bloodstream. I have personally taken a tablespoonful of 50 ppm almost daily for the last 15 years with no adverse effects.
It has been established by EPA (CASRN 7440-22-4) that it is safe to ingest a daily quantity of 350 mcg (micrograms) This is the amount that is contained in one ounce (30 ml) or in six teaspoonfuls of 10 ppm colloidal silver. 10 ppm is generally produced by 10 hours of charging pure water. 25 ppm is generally produced by 25 hours of charging pure water. 3 teaspoonfuls of 25 ppm contain 375 mcg. It is recommended here not to exceed these doses. Legally available colloidal mineral waters are available in most pharmacies and are not sold by us. PPM can be determined by using a conductivity meter that we sell.
Research shows that silver is effective in concentrations of 0.01 to 0.04 ppm (10 to 40 parts per billion), especially when the water is exposed to the silver for long periods of time. The solution can be used as a remedy at 5 ppm or concentrate at 20-50 ppm, taken in small doses or can be diluted into the drinking water supply at a concentration typically of 0.1 to 1 ppm.
Health stores sell 5 to 10 ppm because their low-tech generators cannot produce a stable product with higher concentration and high Zeta Potential.
10 ppm is generally produced by 10 hours of charging pure water. 25 ppm is generally produced by 25 hours of charging pure water. 3 teaspoonfuls of 25 ppm contain 375 mcg. We recommend not exceeding these doses for oral ingestion.
Biophysica colloidal generators are able to make higher ppm COLLOIDAL SILVER that is still clear and stable. Higher concentrations should be restricted to the disinfecting and cleaning of surfaces.
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 1/2 ounce =15 cc.
Animals or plants and COLLOIDAL SILVER
Reports indicate that animals respond to COLLOIDAL SILVER in even more impressive ways than humans. Fish farms particularly could benefit from the regenerative, and anti-microbial benefits of silver.
Plants in general need silver. Fresh cut flowers in particular show such impressive preservation that Biophysica has written a book exclusively on this topic. Instead of staying fresh only for 5 days, with COLLOIDAL SILVER and other mineral ingredients in our mixture called Electromin-6, cut flowers like roses, carnations, orchids, etc. stay fresh for up to 15 days.
Dosage: We suggest it is best to hold Colloidal Silver water under the tongue for 30 seconds while ingesting each dose. We recommend to always ingest CS water on an empty stomach. Wait 15 minutes before consuming any other liquid, nutritional supplement, or food. After meals, wait at least 1 hour before resuming dosages to allow the stomach contents to clear. Always use CS water in its pure form, so do not dilute it with other liquids or water. The one exception is fresh aloe leaf gel/juice mixed 1::1 which may be used to help more completely better nourish and support the liver and intestinal tract as a whole. If feeling immune challenged, drink plenty of fluids, healthy soups, and/or fresh fruit smoothies, and consult with your holistic health care provider. Colloidal silver mixed with Aloe Vera make a good skin antiseptic and antiviral gel for skin conditions such as Herpes.
Maintenance dose: Recommended ingestion for adults – One tablespoonful (10ml) of 30 ppm provides 300 micrograms daily or every other day taken on an empty stomach. We recommend ½ dosages for younger children, or as directed by a licensed holistic health care provider.
In the presence of others with compromised immune systems: Recommended ingestion – 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon 3 times a day ingested on an empty stomach (i.e., between meals), or as directed by a licensed holistic health care provider.
When confronted with an immediate immune challenge that may have compromised your feeling of wellbeing: Recommended ingestion – Take 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon once every 20 minutes for up to 24 hours. Once your feeling of wellbeing returns, reduce ingestion to once every 1-2 hours on an empty stomach. If you continue to feel immune stressed, always consult with a health care provider to consider your options. CS water works well with other immune supports as directed by your physician so long as it is ingested on an empty stomach.
Long-term immune stress or compromise: Recommended ingestion – Take 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon 3 to 7 times a day on an empty stomach, or as directed by a holistic health care provider. 1 Teaspoon (5 ml)
