Are you talking about inhaling it? Or just for drinking? or what?
I am very interested in using it for breathing, but I wont do it unless I know it is sterile. I imagine the process of making it is sterile and the fact it is a natural antibiotic, but it is hard to find a doctor to give you the 'okay' of doing it b/c of it being an alternative method (and you can make it at home, so no money for pharms). I think that there are some trials going on with it in Denver, at National Jewish though. I am hoping it proves to be very beneficial.
My grandma and dad actually make their own at home, but I think that what they make is actually "ionic" silver, which is slightly different than colloidal silver. We make batches of it and then we use it in the winter for if we have toothaches, sore throats coming on. Sometimes I drank it just to kinda cleanse if I had an upset stomach I thought was from a bug and not related to enzymes or whatever. We have gargled with it regularly just for overall oral hygiene. I definitely say it works on sore throats though, I always gargle when I think I feel one coming on and I dont get a sore throat... its not quite as effective though, once the sore throat has already set in.
As far as turning blue... I think it was because the guy who turned blue/purple consumed it like crazy for 15 years or something... it was an extremely extremely high amount of silver for him to turn blue if I remember right.
Good luck, hopefully someone answers with some good news about it.
Edited:
I forgot to add that my grandma has her own nebulizer and uses it when she feels super congested. Also last winter when my dad was really feeling sick he pulled out one of my old compressors that I will never use again and did silver treatments to help.
It feels a bit safer for them to do it but I dont know why. But anyways, yea, my family has done nebulized treatments with it...and I have always wanted to, but just scared in case it really messes me up.
(although as I start running out of sensitive abx, the idea of using it sounds more reasonable haha)

It works.
I'm a 61 year old male who doesn't have CF but have lungs that are 'functionally the same' as CF due to an immune problem, which my system yielded to pneumonia dozens and dozens of times since I was 8 years old. Part of one lung was removed at age 14 due to infection. On/off antibiotics routine my whole life, as many as 20 10 day rounds in a year, rotating 3 or 4 different ones. Severe Bronchitis, Bronchiectasis, COPD. The dreaded Pseudomonas aeruginosa in my lungs.
At age 41 I was told I had 1-5 years to live unless I got a lung transplant, but I wasn't a good candidate due to my immune problem and prior lung surgery. I told them I wasn't a statistic and they were fired. I've been taking immune serum by IV every two weeks for 25 years to try to boost my immune system, yet I was still playing the antibiotic game and they were becoming less and less effective. Due to lung deterioration I went on oxygen at night in 2001 and then 24/7 in 2006. But by God I'm still here!
After doing a lot of research on Colloidal Silver I decided on June 11, 2012 to go to the health food store instead of the pharmacy. I had just left the Dr.'s office with a Rx to refill for Levaquin but I just didn't want to do it any more. It wasn't solving the problem. I bought a bottle of Colloidal Silver that cost $30 for an 8 oz. bottle with a local brand name. I put 6cc (1 1/5 teaspoon) in my nebulizer cup and breathed it in. I did it 3 or 4 times the first 3 or 4 days. By the end of the second day I had already seen marked improvement. Within a few days my lungs were more clear than they had been in months.
Today, 1/3/2014 I am 571 days antibiotic FREE. After a year and a half I also decided to suspend taking the semi-weekly immune IV in August 2013. That's the first time I haven't gotten it in 25 years!
(Before anyone starts posting about the 'Blue Man' I average just over one 8 oz. bottle of Colloidal Silver a month. There is a formula you can use to determine a safe level based on EPA standards. One or two 6cc doses a day is well under the dose to cause any blue problems (argyria). In addition, he (Paul Karason) was not using pure Colloidal Silver. He was making his own and added salt to speed up the batch process, which means he was making silver chloride, not pure colloidal silver. And he was drinking a quart a day and rubbing it on his skin for YEARS!)
I use the nebulizer mist and inhale in through my mouth but also through my nostrils and over my face where I tend to touch my face with my hands.
I've only had one or two colds during this entire time (unheard of!) so I boosted my dosage to double it for a few days. When I feel an infection trying to start up I also sip an ounce (in 3 separate sips, that is I sip 1/3 oz. 3 times) and hold it under my tongue for several minutes each time and swish it around my mouth then swallow. When I'm clear I stop taking it altogether. More and more recently I am able to go for days without taking any silver. Of course with severely damaged lungs there's still a small collection of mucus, but it's relatively tiny and it is pure white 'spit' not heavy dark mucus. In other words pretty normal lung secretion. I can live with that.
My lungs have never been better. My nasal passages are clear most of the time. I don't even have to blow my nose in the mornings and barely once a day now. I'm sure all of you know what your sinuses are like when you have an ongoing infection.
Most of you have a nebulizer. Get a bottle and try it. Brigham's Law: If it can't hurt and it might help, you have to do it.
You can go to a local store and buy a bottle at top dollar like I did to try it, but after doing a lot of research and shopping I've been buying it from Utopiasilver.com. First time customers get %50 off so you can get an 8 oz. bottle for about $12 bucks plus shipping. I just bought a gallon on sale for $110, which averages out to just under $9 per 8 oz. bottle. (I don't get anything for plugging them.) Be sure you're buying Colloidal Silver not Ionic Silver. I've tried both. It's my experience that the Silver Ion 'colloidal silver' is not as effective as the nano-partical colloidal silver.
I should add that I had intended to give it a year before deciding to buy my own generator. But the more I read and learn the more I am certain that the simple low voltage home generators make mostly ionic silver not nano-particle silver. Of course there are some particles but it is not as easy to determine what you're doing on your own. I'm comfortable with buying a consistently reliable product for $9 for 8 oz which last me about a month. That's a helluva lot cheaper than my co-pay for antibiotics! Utopiasilver.com Colloidal Silver is 20ppm 85% nano-particle, 15% ionic silver.

Wrightclick, I found your testimonial of colloidal silver very interesting. Do you think merely taking it orally has much benefit? I'll admit I'm a bit chicken to inhale. I have been using it periodically to help with immune support but wonder if I took it prophylactically if it could help kill chronic infection.
