Question by Cleoppa: Questions about colloidal silver?
I’ve read a little bit about colloidal silver and it seems like cool stuff. I’ve been wanting to get into taking it but then my homeopathic pharmacist said it might be a good supplement for my dog (long story, but it started with an animal homeopathic practitioner). I’ll probably take it myself as well. But there are a few things I forgot to ask.

So…
* Are there any instructions for taking colloidal silver? Should it be with a meal, by itself, after a meal, before a meal? It’s easiest to give it to my dog with his dinner but not that hard not to.
* Do most people take it every day, or only when you need it, or a few days on and a few days off?
* Has anyone ever used the home colloidal silver maker? Does it work?
* Anyone have any other tips or advice about colloidal silver? Any personal miracles about what this stuff can do?

Best answer:

Answer by Susan Yarrawonga
Colloidal silver is a very powerful bacteriocide and is supposed to be capable of killing 650 different pathogens, if you believe that claim.

The worst thing you can do is to make your own because you will end up with 100% ionic silver which is nowhere near as good as colloidal silver which in most cases usually only contains a small proportion of ionic silver. Home made colloidal silver may lead to argyria if you are not careful and overdose and your face will become a permanent ashen blueish grey for which there is no cure.

Answer by ankpup8
this is a very hard question and I believe it depends on what sickness you have, what kind of person you are, and how your body responds. I think that a mixture of all of these can really help, i have a gastric motility disorder and with acupuncture, medicines, herbs, vitamins, and psychiatry im feeling better

25-methods To Cure Premature

Even If You Ejaculate Seeing A Nude Scene… Even If You Have Become Hopeless After Wasting Thousands Of Dollars…. Even If You Have Been On Pills And Sprays Since long And Now Want Some Natural Substitute…Right Here On This Web Page Is Quick And Guaranteed Success Waiting For You. Get your Sex Life Insured Once For All: Ejaculate Only When She Wants you to ejaculate.

Well, there are lots of “self-proclaimed” cures available in market but almost all of these systems are of temporary kind only. However these products are unnatural ways of controlling premature ejaculation and have galore of side effects. Some of these methods are:- Ejaculation Control Pills and capsules. Ejaculation control pills and capsules are “one-night” relief for premature ejaculation and do not cure the problem at all. The worst part is that these premature ejaculation pills and capsules are injurious to health. These pills and capsules have “brain-numbing” ingredients and the outcome is that you don’t enjoy true pleasure of making sex because major part of your brain remains sleepy.
Ultimately you become addict of these pills. You will not feel confident without swallowing these pills or capsules. At this point you will feel that half of your memory is gone and your erection has become weak. This is red signal for you; you must stop swallowing pills at this point otherwise your sexual system will turn in to total wreck.

Useless methods



There are lots of useless methods popular on internet and suggested by so called sexperts. These methods don’t have any results; rather these are weakening and distasteful. Here are few examples of such methods.Masturbation before sex.

Many a sexperts suggest masturbating before making sex. What a crap! Your semen is vital fluid and you will be wasting it for nothing! It is a weakening activity and ultimately brings impotence. Don’t buy this advice.

Mind distraction.
Some experts advice to think of any gruesome scene in your mind to distract mind while you are making sex. This is totally insane. Sex is pleasure activity and in the middle you are thinking about the gory and grisly scenes. Without sublime pleasures, sex is just boring labor. And will you really last longer by doing all this? Answer is not at all. It will not make any difference.
