What is colloidal/ionic silver? True "colloidal" silver is a concentration of nano-sized (particles) of silver suspended in a liquid. True "ionic" silver is a concentration of silver (ions) suspended in a liquid. During the electrolysis process within the SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator, silver ions are created and pulled into the solution of water by the removal of an electron from a single silver atom crystallized within the structure of the silver electrodes. The positive charges of silver ions keep themselves separated from each other due to like-pole repulsion of magnetic charges and forces. Silver particles are also produced in a smaller ratio as "grains" of silver. These grains of silver are detached from the same crystallized structure of the silver electrodes as a secondary result of ion production through a process referred to as "under cutting." Electrolysis can cause separation at the "grain boundaries" of silver crystals which causes a group of crystallized silver atoms to detach from the silver electrode as a particle. This is one way that electrolysis produces both ions and particles. The silver particle content is also held apart from the repulsion of like-poles through an acquired force referred to as "zeta potential." Keeping the silver ions and particles small and separated is key to a stable silver solution with a long shelf-life and more integrity.

Why silver? Multiple laboratory tests have shown colloidal/ionic silver to kill disease-causing pathogens, viruses and bacteria typically within minutes of contact. Silver has been shown to be a powerful anti-fungal, anti-germicidal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral substance in other research studies. Silver is used readily in hospital burn wards to prevent scar tissue. Ionic silver has been shown to regenerate human cells and greatly relieves burns when applied topically. Toxicity to silver ions and nano-sized silver particles is simply unseen in the very low concentrations produced by the SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator. |

How does silver work? In lay terms, it is commonly believed that a disease-causing pathogen or a virus - in the presence of nano-sized silver particles and ions - will become suffocated through a chemical process called "Catalytic Oxidation". Other research shows that ionic silver can rob electrons from proteins and/or enzymes that a virus needs to survive and the same result is achieved indirectly by disabling these associated components required for the survival of a virus. Ionic silver has also been shown to regenerate cells that have been destroyed by disease or physical damage. Silver-infused bandages are commonly used in hospitals and burn wards to protect against infection and to greatly reduce tissue scarring. |

3rd Party Silver Research and News Pravda | May 2009 - “The best defense against swine flu, or any flu, is the age old remedy of colloidal silver." - Read Business Wire | June 2005 - “...ionic silver was found to effectively deactivate the human coronavirus strain 229E, a virus linked to SARS, during a laboratory study conducted by the University of Arizona." - Read Mikihiro Yamanaka, Keita Hara and Jun Kudo | November 2005 - "The present results indicate that one of the major bactericidal actions of the silver ion is caused by its interaction with the ribosome and subsequent suppression in the expression of enzymes and proteins essential to ATP production." - Read Eric J. Rentz, DO, COMM, CNMO | June 2003 - "This retrospective study of silver-based therapeutics briefly reviews their history, and then explores the modern application of charged silver particles, especially as an antiviral agent. - Read Herbert Slavin, M.D. | September 2006 - "Ionic silver is increasingly being recognized for its broad-spectrum anti-microbial qualities and the fact that it presents virtually none of the side-effects related to antibiotics. Ionic silver is entirely non-toxic to the body. Research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has shown that some resistant strains of disease cannot develop with ionic silver the way that they will with antibiotics." - Read R. Roy, M. R. Hoover, A. S. Bhalla, T. Slawecki, S. Dey, W. Cao, J. Li and S. Bhaskar | September 2006 - "These results, in a preliminary way, are parallel to the many empirical observations made by physicians for the last 100 years on the use of metallic silver and water in various combinations for human health." - Read |

Breathing silver? Although traditional oral ingestion is the most practical method of administration, breathing the ionic/colloidal solution is the fastest and most direct method of delivery into the blood and into the respiratory environment. Breathing the silver solution has the distinct advantage of delivering silver directly to the inner-lining of the lungs when targeting the respiratory system. This is an area of the body that oral consumption does not reach efficiently. |

What happened to Paul Karason? Simply put, Paul made the mistake of adding (salt) to his distilled water as a catalyst to reduce the production time of his homemade silver solution. Paul was unaware that salt or other additives should never be incorporated into the "electrolysis" process when creating proper colloidal/ionic silver. While adding salt greatly reduced Paul's time to create his silver solution, it actually created a completely different compound called silver chloride. This silver compound (consumed in the tremendous concentrations Paul was producing) has been shown to cause a harmless skin discoloration condition called "Argyria." Silver chloride is in no way the same as pure colloidal/ionic silver based on a distilled water suspension. Considering the facts and details surrounding Paul Karason's unfortunate situation, it should be known that no cases of Argyria have ever been linked to properly produced colloidal/ionic silver that were absent of salt and other additives. Paul's condition is the result of years of ingesting extremely high doses of silver chloride and not the result of waking up blue. |

Suggestions for use Due to Federal laws that govern "supplemental" health, we can only provide suggestions concerning the administration of the ionic/colloidal silver solutions produced through the SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator. Dosage is not a concern topically when dressing wounds, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, etc. We suggest a daily maintenance dose of 1 tablespoon of 20 PPM concentration for keeping silver consistently present in the system. Nebulizing (i.e. breathing) the silver solution across 12-24 inhalations is suggested for a 72 hour cyclical maintenance regimen. For targeting the nasal environment, we suggest 6-12 sprays (per nostril) spread evenly across the day as desired. All of these suggested dosages fall well-under the EPA 'safe' recommended daily intake of silver which has been established at 350 micrograms. Our research shows that silver over-dosing is more of a concern when consuming highly-concentrated silver solutions exceeding (100-500 PPM). These solutions are usually comprised of very large particles and groups of agglomerated silver excess from proteins and citrates required to create these high concentrations. The SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator was designed specifically to create extremely high-quality nano-sized particles and ions which greatly reduces any risk of agglomeration at the very low concentrations produced. |

Why make your own colloidal/ionic silver? If you plan to supplement your diet regularly with silver and want the peace of mind that comes with knowing the source and quality of what you are consuming; and you also want to avoid the repeated costs of ordering and shipping a silver solution on-line, then producing your own colloidal/ionic silver is the answer. If you and your family are supplementing with silver regularly, you will soon realize the convenience of producing your own silver solutions and the cost savings of a one-time investment in a high quality and reliable colloidal silver generator. The SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator is a premium product based on years of development and research into dissolving silver ions and introducing silver particles into highly purified water and is one of the easiest to use silver generating products available today. The SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator can produce 1.1 liters of a 20 PPM (parts per million) concentration of silver ions and particles in about 2 hours and a 40 PPM concentration in about 3 hours. The SilverLungs™ colloidal silver generator also features a magnetic stirring system, polarity reversal, sealed production chamber, silent operation, multiple concentration settings and automatic shut-off function. |

What is the shelf-life of colloidal/ionic silver? Properly produced colloidal/ionic silver has a long shelf life extending well-beyond a year, conservatively. Glass colored bottles (amber or blue) are recommended for storage as they protect the ionic silver content from exposure to UV rays (sunlight) which will "photo-reduce" the ionic content and slowly degrade the ions in solution. Glass is the material of choice as it is considered to be chemically inert. Many types of plastic storage vessels are not recommended as they can react with the silver content and alter or degrade the integrity over time. If plastic is used as a storage medium, we recommend these three types of plastics as your first choices: PET, PETE and HDPE. Silver solutions should be stored in a cool, dark place as an additional step toward preserving shelf-life and overall quality. |

Why only distilled or de-ionized water? Water that is not properly distilled or de-ionized is essentially not pure and may contain undesirable elements that can interfere with the final quality and effectiveness of a silver solution. It is also imperative that no "additives" be incorporated before, during or after the electrolysis process to ensure that only the pure elemental form of silver is present within the suspension of a pure H2O (i.e. water) environment. The harmless skin discoloration condition called Argyria has been linked to ingestion of improperly created silver solutions that were produced with salt or other substances (added as a catalyst to decrease production time.) Although adding salt may greatly reduce the time required to create a silver solution through electrolysis, it produces the undesirable compound known as silver chloride which is not recommended for consumption in high doses. Keep in mind that distilled and de-ionized water is not equivalent to filtered, reverse osmosis, spring, well or mineral water. Distilled and de-ionized water means "pure" water absent of any minerals, additives, impurities, etc. |
