Is this what you used?

Definitely not! This is silver sulfate in sulfuric acid. This would be extremely corrosive and damaging to anyone's eyes, so avoid this at all costs.

What we got was called "Pink Eye Medication and looks like this:

Another-Reason-To-Hoard-Silver-Asap

Oddly enough, the silver sulfate is listed in the ingredients list on the back as a "preservative". A 10 ml dropper bottle of this costs about $10 and can be used to cure at least 30 eye infections and / or cuts, maybe more. It has two attributes that I really like: it's cheap AND effective.

Speaking of cheap cures... any allergy sufferers out there? My wife used to get allergic reactions to tree and grass pollen that were so severe that she had to take an annual spring-summer series of painful and expensive shots to treat it. Several years ago, she discovered "bee pollen" and now uses that to treat her allergies. It is more effective than the shots, less painful, and WAY less expensive. This can be had at most health food stores and pharmacies for $6-8 per bottle. Don't recall how many capsules this contains but maybe 150? Anyway, she takes 3 of these a day for 2 weeks in early Feb. She then goes to 2 a day for 2 more weeks. Finally, she takes 1 a day for the rest of the summer and her allergy problems are virtually nil these days. She says that it has to build up in the system before it works, so this regimen must be followed if effective treatment is to occur. I do not know if this will work for everyone but it sure worked for her.

Thanks, Ed. I'll pick up a bottle. Amazon sells Similisan for $9.50, but it's a fairly small amount.

No problem, Traevin. We are a "community" here, so if there is any way that we can help each other, we should do just that. Hope that it works as well for you as it has for me.

Ed,

Not meaning to open up a can of worms here, but I just noticed that the bottle in the picture you provided includes the word "homeopathic" on it. If it truly is homeopathic (and the word isn't just being used for marketing purposes), by definition it will not contain a single molecule of silver in it. The whole concept behind homeopathy is extreme dilution on the order of 1 part in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 and the belief that the water molecules somehow retain a "memory" of the original silver that was present before dilution.

If the solution helped your infection, that's fine. And, as I said, some manufacturers actually do include real active ingredients in their products and just use the word "homeopathy" as a marketing gimmick (Zicam cold relief, for example, actually contains a significant amount of zinc in it despite the homeopathic label). And there's also things like the placebo effect and the fact that minor conditions often clear up on their own regardless of the treatment (which, I know, nobody wants to hear or believe when they become convinced that a particular treatment has "worked" in their case). And yes, I have researched this extensively and can provide some references if you'd like.

My point is simply that it's probably not a good idea to promote a homeopathic remedy as evidence of the healing power of silver since it very likely contains no silver in it whatsoever.

Well, I have not had it assayed via AA-ICP for silver content but the label does mention silver. Is it dilute? Probably. Something tells me, though, that the term "homeopathic" is one of those terms that does not have a specific definition that everyone uses. If so, it would not be the only one. It is certainly possible that this, as well as many other companies, use this term as a marketing tool. In any case, this solution worked VERY well for me... and that's THE bottom line, is it not?
