FAQColloidal Silver Dose and Other Information
What is the shelf life of Silver Sol?
Twenty years if stored in a cool dark place.
How do I tell which silver products are the best to buy? There are so many different ones available on the market!
- EPA certification
- FDA approval
- US Patent approval
If Silver Sol is so great, why hasn’t my doctor heard of it?
"Doctors know about silver but until now they have not had an FDA-approved, EPA-certified and Patent-approved product that they could use in their medical practice. All students of medicine have heard about silver in some form or another. The problem is that most science classes teach that silver is antibacterial, antiviral and anti fungal, but they also teach that it could cause argyria (the accumulation of silver under the skin) if it is swallowed in a salt form.
While this is true, it’s important to realize that new and far safer forms of silver that are still effective are now available. And they don’t cause argyria. A very simple demonstration of this is the “Blue Man,” who has made his own ionic/colloidal silver and consumed it in enormous doses to control diseases. He has been successful in controlling his conditions but he also turned blue/gray in the process.
Silver Sol is newly patented (Nov 2006) and has never had a single case of argyria in the estimated 6 million bottles sold. So your trained scientists and doctors have heard of silver colloid and ionic silver, and now that silver sol has received FDA approval, EPA certification and patent approval they will listen. And doctors are now beginning to incorporate Silver Sol into their practices. Many clinics, medical practices and nursing homes have written policies and procedures allowing Silver Sol exclusively.
Another reason your doctor may not be fully aware of the benefits of the new Silver Sol is that the medical establishment is driven largely by patentable and profitable ventures. Drug companies spend millions to make billions. The ideal drug for a medical company is one with a large market, like Prozac or Viagra, that is complex enough it can be patented without being copied easily by competitors. Although silver has a large potential market, it is widely available and easy to copy, making it undesirable to drug companies.
Silver preparations compete too closely with the higher-dollar antibiotic and viral drug market. For instance, silver is an effective treatment for certain types of hepatitis, and more effective than standard treatments. It competes with the medical establishment’s $40 billion a year market. So although it is safer, more effective and cheaper, it will most likely never get the backing of the medical establishment for some of those same reasons." Dr Gordon Pederson
What scientific research exists to back up the health benefit claims of Silver Sol?
Is Silver Sol an Ionic or Colloidal silver solution?
In all truth, Silver Sol is not either of these types of product.
"Silver Sol is simply superfine silver particles dispersed in deionized water. The term “Sol” is a chemical designation of a pure mineral, such as metallic silver, permanently suspended in water where the mineral’s charge is transferred to the entire body of water. Silver Sol technology includes advanced scientific research and new product development utilizing its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties." Dr. Gordon Pederson
Because of misrepresentations made by technology-inhibited competitors of American Biotech Labs, the question is best answered by independent and technologically superior labs and institutions. Included in a peer-review paper, cited from Pennsylvania State University, was test work jointly accomplished at six different state-of-the-art labs, including labs at Penn State University.
We have an extensive understanding of information about our silver products and have filed hundreds of pages of patents to cover them so that they cannot be duplicated by anyone else. We believe that small-time companies will continue to take shots at Silver Sol Technology because when your product stands out alone at the top of the heap, there will always be wishful people taking shots at you in an attempt to try and make themselves look better.
Does Silver Sol cause heavy metal poisoning?
Some people have the idea that over sizing the amount in daily colloidal silver dosage is poisonous or toxic. The claim that silver can cause toxic nephropathy or heavy metal poisoning is being made by both pseudo-scientists and the uniformed news media. The statement shows a complete lack of even the most basic scientific knowledge about silver.
Toxic nephropathy is defined as “Any functional or morphologic change in the kidney produced by an ingested, injected, inhaled, or absorbed drug, chemical, or biologic agent.” Probably the most correct and widely accepted authority on the subject would be the MERCK Manual Of Diagnosis And Treatment. The 17th edition of the manual, on page 1880, shows the complete list of heavy metals that can cause heavy metal poisoning. The list includes a number of metals like copper and iron that are found in everyday vitamins, but silver is not listed in any form. Silver was not accidentally forgotten from being the list, and it was not listed in the comprehensive list because it does not cause the problem! Listed under “Methemoglobin formers”, the Merck does list sodium nitrite as a cause of nephropathy.
The importance of this being that if silver is mixed with heavy salt or sodium products, it could be classified as causing nephropathy, not because of the silver, but because of the heavy amount of salt contained in the matrix of the combined product. The heavy use of silver nitrate in the medical industry (both past and present) may have led people to the common, but incorrect misconception about silver.
When is the best time of day to take Silver Sol?
Is it best to take it with food or on an empty stomach?
What are the recommended doses for Silver Sol Liquid?
For a true colloidal silver, dosage would greatly depend on your brand's parts per million of silver. However, Silver Sol is not colloidal silver - it is a metallic silver solution that is perfectly safe and consistently the same 10 ppm per bottle or batch. The recommended daily Silver Sol dosage for adults is:
Prevention: Swallow one teaspoon 1-3 times a day.
Post-Infection Immune Support: Two teaspoons twice a day.
What are the recommended doses for Silver Sol Gel?
Prevention: Apply to hands twice a day, as well as in nostrils.
Post-Infection Support: Apply topically to infected area - at least twice a day.
How many servings are in a bottle?
- 4 fl .oz is equal to 24 servings.
- 8 fl .oz is equal to 48 servings.
- 16 fl .oz is equal to 96 servings.
Does Silver Sol harm the helpful bacteria in our intestines?
This is an important question! Many times antibiotics do wipe out the friendly bacteria that inhabit our large intestines and maintain balance in our body chemistry. These good bacteria not only produce B vitamins and folic acid for you, but they compete with pathogenic bacteria and yeasts, and prevent them from multiplying which cause infection. Antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics, kill a wide range of these friendly bacteria. this leaves you vulnerable to super infections.
In addition, antibiotics may suppress our immune systems! The New Silver Solution does not present such a problem. Independent studies both at Brigham Young University and Viridi Biopharma have effectively shown this. The very fact that so many individuals have taken Silver Sol for so long and have reported no negative gastrointestinal side affects, strongly suggests that this solution does not cause these friendly flora harm in any way that would injure our bodies. In vitro testing of Silver Sol on a number of friendly fauna, such as lactobacillus, have shown that the silver does not kill these helpful, probiotic bacteria.
Will Silver Sol harm human cells?
The nano-silver in Silver Sol has been lab tested for Cyto-toxicity.
A number of independent cyto-toxicity tests have been completed on American Biotech Labs’ nano-silver products. At both 10 and 22 ppm, the products were found to do no damage at all to either human or monkey cells, meaning that they were found completely non-cyto-toxic. So rest easy, this is not worrisome like the concern you would have with a standard colloidal silver dosage.
Silver Sol nano-silver gel products were tested for cyto-toxicity at both 24 and 32 ppm by an independent FDA/EPA approved lab. According to FDA guidelines, the cyto-toxicity is reported on a scale of 1-4 (4 being highly cyto-toxic and 1 being very safe for use). Both the 24 and 32ppm Silver Sol nano-silver products were deemed in the testing to be a level 1, in other words having little or no negative effect on the skin.
What is the concentration of the silver in Silver Sol?
Silver Sol Liquid has 10 PPM (parts per million) pure nano silver particles.
Silver Sol Gel for acne, skin care and healing of burns or wounds has 24 PPM pure nano silver silver.
