Protect your house from germs-bacteria-fungus

[G-khan]

Mind you this is my idea and I have heard no one else using this approach.

Durring the winter I use a humidifier as the air gets pretty dry from our forced air furnace. I will use colloidal in my humidifier to desinfect the entire house. I think this will work its way into the fabrics (carpet, furniture etc.)

This should give me year around protection.... as it should coat just about everything.

I plan to use about 2 gallons a week of colloidal that costs me 75 cents a gallon to make..

Input from you gals and guys wanted? What do you think good idea? Anything I am missing?:albertein

Very good Idea G it might just work, for some time now I have been using it for my coffee (dont drink it to often) and for my tea I don't know if when it boils it changes the molecules or whatever but I have nothing to loose, besides that it tastes better than by itself.

I use a small amount in my humidifiers to keep the filters fresh but never considered using more.

I'm curious if the silver in the solution will actually vaporize to give the effect you are seeking. My first gut reaction is that the silver would probably stay in the tank with only the water evaporating into the air, but I'd love to hear the facts on this.

It is a neat idea if it works.

PS. It would be a shame if it caused discoloration on fabrics or walls (over time)!

How do you plan on getting the water into the humidifier? I like the idea... My humidifier is directly hooked up to the water supply through a small copper line and has an automatic shutoff to take as much water as needed..

I would think that if the humidifier is "steam" type, this will not work. All you will be doing is leaving the water left in the tank with a higher concentration of silver. You are, in effect, putting distilled water into the air.
However, if the humidifier is a "mist" type, where the water is sprayed out without heating, it should work great.
If you have a humidifier hooked up to your water supply, you would have to change it's water source. This could be a problem as I'm sure it will rely on the pressure to fill the tank.

I have a portable - I think it is a sonic vaporizer so you pour the water into it. It vibrates at an ultra sonic level to make a water mist and it blows it out.. So it should work well with my setup.. You have a problem with what you have that I do not know the answer.. You could buy a sonic vaporizer for under 50 bucks?

I have a Carrier humidifier hooked up directly to the furnace. It is the kind that just lets the water run down a "pad" and the moving air picks up the water and carries it through the house.

Now that I think about it - it would not be easy to convert to using a custom water source because I'd have to come up with a way to pressurize the CS water.

I think I may try just soaking the humidifier pads or just pouring CS on them once in a while. Those pads actually get really nasty looking after a season of use from all the junk in the water - I'm curious in the CS applications will clear them up at all...

RKYes, you will have to pour it on the mats, but the fact that it works on evaporation, eliminates it from carrying CS into your home. It may however, help keep the mats from turning stinky & sour

My son, almost 7, used to have heavy allergies. We've been using CS in the regimen to keep his room and our house clean. Get a squirt-bottle and fill with CS.

Spray heavily on all four sides of the matress. Let dry. Weekly maintenance spray when changing linen.

Spray heavily on carpets after carpets have been cleaned. Weekly maintenence spay. (I'm in the process to change all carpets to laminate wood flooring)

Rinse nostrils each night with CS in a small sprayer.

CS in the rinse-cycle when doing washing.

CS mist when cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms. Lightly mist surfaces after regular cleaning, leave to dry.

Rinse hair every other day.

One to two ounces a day orally of about 15-20 ppm.

CS mist on tiled surfaces after regular cleaning.

CS mist in the fridge.

I have no scientific proof, except that my son is much healthier.


I blame the mountains of anti-biotics he was prescribed as a baby (0-4), and my ignorance, for his allergies. He hasn't been on anything stronger than a natural anti-biotic prep we found, now for about a year. The prep is called <a href="http://www.tibb.co.za/septo.html">Septogard</a> and this is a local <a href="http://www.tibb.co.za">TIBB</a> product. He used to get heavy air-passage infection at least once every two months with a contant throat-drip and runny nose.

Use the stuff everywhere, but like G-Khan said, get a CS Gen otherwise you'll never use adequate quantities. I must have saved about $1 000 by now on "doctors" cost and "medicine".

What really pisses me off is that he sort of thought it normal to be the way he was and modern medicine's inability to want to cure him. I just hope he didn't sustain any permanent damage but he is so full of energy now that he seems OK.

Greetings skyvike

Do you have a link to the UV device or something similar ? I know of the 4 foot "light-tube" variety but not anything else.

I've been thinking of adding UV to my forced air heating/cooling system for a while now... This thread got me looking into it again.

What do you guys think about this model on ebay: link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42910&item=3850158341&rd=1)

Seems reasonably priced ($75) and supposedly uses Phillips UV-C bulbs...

[RKaz]

The other thing I did, which I believe to be a GIGANTIC help in improving our health was I installed a UV light in our forced-air furnace. The filter there is another great bacteria/germ farm. The UV light is installed in the air plenum UPSTREAM from the filter and no organism makes it to the filter alive and thus no organism gets recirculated by your furnace (at least no live ones - the dead ones might still be flying around but I guess they don't do much harm).

Are you sure the UV-C light is supposed to be installed before the furnace filter? I thought the optimal placement was after the furnace, right above the compressor coil (another great place for germs to breed). This way it kills the air going into your house and also takes care of the stuff breeding on the AC coil...

How about this ?

In the constant battle with the bacteria issues in my hot tub I am going to try adding some colloidial silver and see how it works.
I really don't have much of a problem with stuff in the water but a the tub requires some sort of bactericide anyway so............
The water I use is straight from a spring on my property so it has no added chemicals. I have had the water tested and found it to be very acceptible just slightly acidic,
What do you think ????????

It sounds like it should work to me? I wonder how much will be needed (pint,quart, gallon)? If you have a generator it should be no problem - very expensive if you buy it off the shelf..

[Bugle]

The hot tub holds 500 gallons and I do have a generator recently purchased.
I am thinking of starting with a quart at a time (once a week) ? Any suggestions ?
P.S. I am still looking for a suitable dark glass storage container. Is their a common container that is easily purchased. Thought about going to a home beer brewing place and getting a resealable large beer bottle.

Sounds like a plan.... Here is where I got my bottles... Let us know how it works...

I got both 16 and 32 oz and I like the 32 a lot more than the 16............

Re Hottub

Won't adding few silver-rounds in the filter compartment have the same effect ? But how many I don't know.
