The Best Colloidal Silver is NutraSilver

I use colloidal silver for so many things. I use NutraSilver in particular.

 
I use it for the following things in my household:




1. Food poisoning. I live in a 3rd world country currently, and the hygienic standards in food preparation are not as high as they are in the United States. Nonetheless, I still like to eat out, and occasionally get sick. (three times in the past 10 months). A dose or two of NutraSilver and I am fine.


2. Pink eye. Holy cow this stuff is amazing (and safe) to use to kill pink eye. One or two doses and that is all it takes. A drop in each eye. I use it on my dog, too! Twice in the past 9 months he has had a goopy eye that is super bloodshot. I put this in his eye and he is fine the next morning.

3. Sinus infections. I can't say I have ever had a sinus infection before. But my husband has them chronically due to the way his sinus cavities are formed. The best relief for chronic sinus infections is NutraSilver, according to him.


4. When I am sick. Occasionally I get sick -- a cold, virus, bacterial infection. I recently had an infection in my lymph nodes (under my arms) and the doctor wanted to give me antibiotics. I asked her if I could take colloidal silver instead and she said sure, that would work as well. (I LOVE how open the doctors are here in Panama about natural cures!) After 2 days it is completely gone, no more pain or tenderness.

5. Fungal toe. I have a fungal toenail that I have had for over 30 years. At least as long as I remember. When I was a 3 year old, I use to bite my toenails and rip the cuticles to shreds (gone are those days of that type of flexibility!!) As a result of this, I got an infection in that toe that resulted in blood poisoning. My dad saw a blue streak running up my leg, and rushed me to the hospital. I think somehow a fungus got into that toe during that infectious process, and this is going to be a killer to get rid of. But I just started putting the silver on the toe. It will probably take months, but if it works, I am going to dedicate a whole blog post to it.

6. Ear infections. This is good for little ones, too, because you don't want them on antibiotics unless something is life threatening. A drop in each ear, twice a day. It works SO well. I just want to tell all my friends who have babies that get constant ear infections to just TRY the NutraSilver.


7. UTIs (Urinary tract infections) and Yeast Infections. Seriously this stuff rocks-- you do NOT want to be without NutraSilver when battling a yeast infection or a UTI. Take internally and use externally.


Other uses for it that I don't have personal experience with but my customers do:


8. Lyme disease. I have one customer whose wife is very sick with late stage Lyme disease. It is extremely debilitating and can mimic other diseases (so you don't get the correct diagnosis) and it is super hard to diagnose itself as those little spirochete bacteria are sneaky buggers and hide in your organs, spinal fluid, etc. and may not show up on typical tests. By using a high dose of NutraSilver (working your way up -- you don't want to start at a high dose of 60 drops 3x a day right from the get go), symptoms start to disappear and you get your life back again.

9. Morgellons disease. This is why I started offering NutraSilver for sale. Many folks out there were finding they had the symptoms of Morgellons disease -- which is a very scary new disease with the following symptoms: bugs crawling under your skin in your eyes and head, fibers coming out of your skin, (fibers that won't burn! they look like the little fluffs from clothing but they won't burn even in 500 degree temps!), brain fog, insomnia, panic, and itchy lesions around your skin that don't heal. NutraSilver does not CURE Morgellons, unfortunately, it only allows the symptoms to go away so you can live your life. about 75% of my customers who order NutraSilver use it for this purpose.

10. MRSA and other drug resistant infections. Because of the overuse and abuse of antibiotics, many bacterial infections are hard to beat with antibiotics these days. But these little pesky drug resistant parasites cannot win against the potency of NutraSilver!



How Do I Know NutraSilver is a True Silver Colloid?
 

There are three types of "silver products" that companies label (sometimes inappropriately) as "colloidal silver". They are ionic silver solutions, silver proteins and true colloidal silver.

Ionic silver solutions.  Most of the products you find online or at a health food store that are labeled and sold as colloidal silver are actually ionic silver solutions. This also includes the "homemade" silvers that people make with silver generators they purchase and use at home.

You can tell if your silver is ionic if it is clear like water, or has a slight yellow tint. These products are clear because silver that is dissolved in water has no visible appearance. Companies selling these products will maintain that colloidal silver should look clear, but this is not accurate. These companies claim their product is "true colloidal silver" in an attempt to confuse you. But if the product is clear, then it is ionic silver, not a true silver colloid.

To figure out whether a solution is ionic silver, just add common table salt to 1 oz of the silver. If it is ionic silver, the salt will combine with the silver ions and create a white, cloudy appearance. To form a cloud that is visible requires a sufficient concentration of silver ions to be present (usually around 10ppm or above). When you add more salt, it will become more dense until all the silver ions have combined with the chlorine ions.

However, sometimes no white cloud will form because some of these "solutions" don't contain any silver at all, or too little to note. There have been some lab analyses that have shown some "silver" products contain no silver at all!


Silver Proteins. These are the second most prevalent type of "so-called" colloidal silver products on the market. They consist of a combination of metallic silver particles and a protein binder, and can be made by simply adding water to silver protein powder that is sold by many chemical companies. Most of the products on the market that claim to be high in concentration are in fact silver protein colloids. 

This type of silver is less effective for human use because of the particle size. You'd be better off with ionic silver. This type of silver can cause argryia, a condition that causes the skin to turn a blue-grayish color.

To find out whether the "silver" you have is a silver protein, just try shaking the bottle. If it produces foam above the liquid then this is the single most reliable indicator it is a protein vs. a true silver colloid. 

The color ranges from light amber to almost black with an increasing concentration of silver.


True Colloidal Silver. These are the least prevalent type of silver on the market due to high degree of manufacturing complexity and the high cost of production. The majority of silver content in colloidal silver is in the form of silver particles. True colloids will typically contain more than 50% particles while the balance will be silver ions. When referring to colloidal silver, the word colloid means silver particles. 

Because of the high concentration of silver particles, true silver colloids are never clear like water. The silver particles block light from passing through, making the liquid appear darker.

NutraSilver is formulated from raw silver mined from the earth. The pure silver is put through a unique process in order to create nano-sized silver particles that are electrically suspended in distilled water for maximum potency. Your pathogens are suffocated, killed and then excreted from your body. Not only is NutraSilver guaranteed to work, it is guaranteed to be the quality we say it is.

Mineral Eye Gel



I am doing a review for Adovia Skin Care Mineral Eye Gel but am unable to use it because of the ingredients. It contains methylparaben and propylparaben, along with fragrance. These are ingredients I do not put on my skin. So there is not a proper way to do a review for it.

The rest of the ingredients are amazing, and it is sad to see a potentially great product have parabens in it.

Here it is on Amazon if you are interested in buying it.



I would be amiss to say that I recommend this to others, because I tout clean living and to especially avoid putting toxins on your skin. My apologies. I just can't be selling my detox foot pads and telling all my customers to stop putting toxins in your body and then turn around and tell them to buy any skin care products that have parabens or other toxins in them.

I promise to stay true to my preaching!! I will be reviewing products but will be honest if I do not like the ingredients.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Gardening

I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, but always longed to live in the country. My dad was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania until his parents moved to Cupertino, CA when he was in high school. (Hence "country" in my blood! I swear it is genetic.)

The variety of seeds inn Ark's Survival Seeds Pack
We had a large garden, and we raised chickens until the city passed an ordinance in the early 1980s that made it illegal to have farm animals within the city limits. But we continued to have a large garden. Each of us kids got our own small "plot" to choose what we wanted to plant.

One of my fondest childhood memories was the hot summer nights when my dad would get us out of bed to "hear the corn grow". We could hear it crackling and popping. This would happen in July and August when the corn would grow so fast -- sometimes more than 4" in a single night!  My dad (who knew everything back then) explained that during the day under the hot sun, the plants would suck up all the life-giving energy from the sun, and when it cooled off at night, the photosynthesis process would begin -- it would take all that energy and.... GROW. We were so amazed at the miracles that we were able to witness in our garden.

This is how the seeds come packaged
Now I am an adult. Being an avid gardener, a Mormon and having a desire to become self reliant, I totally jumped at the chance to get these heirloom survival seeds. I already garden and am pretty proficient at growing my own food and preserving it by canning, freezing and dehydrating. I also can make many dishes with my fresh produce, and can chop, steam, sautee' and roast various vegetables and fruits (yes, cucumbers and tomatoes are fruits!).

And because I am a huge proponent of non-GMO, natural foods and nutrition, I can put my stamp of approval on these Ark Survival Seeds.I recommend them for a variety of reasons:

Here are all the varieties included
  • They are heirloom. What does that really mean? The term heirloom is used to describe any type of seed that has been saved and grown for a period of years and is passed down by the gardener that preserved it. It has a provenance, of sorts. To be capable of being saved, all heirloom seeds must be open pollinated. Open pollinated plants are simply varieties that are capable of producing seeds that will produce seedlings just like the parent plant. Not all plants do this.
  • They are non-GMO. It is true that when you go to the store to buy seeds for your backyard garden, you most likely won't be buying GMO corn seed, but with this organic labeling from Ark Survival Seeds, you can guarantee the best quality and most nutritious vegetables from your garden.
  • They are non-hybrid. Hybrid plants are very popular. This is what you are most likely going to get at your local gardening center if it isn't specifically labeled "heirloom".
    Plant breeders cross breed compatible types of plants in an effort to create a plant with the best features of both parents. These are called hybrids and many of our modern plants are the results of these crosses. Seed from these hybrids will not produce plants with identical qualities. This is important if you are going to save your seeds to plant next season!
These seeds come packaged in paper seed packets because this prolongs the life of the seeds. By avoiding the use of tin foil and vapor plastic storage containers and packaging not only is it kind to nature, the seeds will be viable for longer. My recommendation is to store the seeds in a cool, dark place (like the refrigerator) until you are ready to use.


I use Biogrow 365 as my natural, organic fertilizer in my garden, along with compost and aged manure (either horse or cow). I don't use pesticide or herbicide in my garden, and I weed by hand. It is very comforting and relaxing to be in my garden, with my hands in the soil, growing something.

I have recently started saving my seeds for future seasons of gardening. I purchased the book "Seed to Seed" by Suzanne Ashworth (see Amazon link below for a quick click to the book and to the seeds themselves). The book is AMAZING I have been able to successfully save most seeds. Tomatoes are the hardest for me so far, and hopefully this next season I will be able to save some for next Spring!
