Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay, so I had to write a review after a few weeks of using this. I have been investigating colloidal silver for many years. I have been on the fence about the "miracle cure" but I have had great personal success with it on several occasions. But this is not a review on colloidal silver--it is a review of this product. $75 seemed like a lot to spend really. I have made my own CS generators in the past (three 9-volt batts and some wiring), but you have to take into account that silver itself is quite expensive thanks to the gold price spike. Gone forever are the $5 an ounce silver days, and those tiny rods are not cheap, even if you bought them yourself. Okay, so does this thing work? Is it a good value? Is it a hassle? The whole thing is beautifully packaged. I really like the clear plastic zipper pouch. Everything fits inside it and it is durable enough to withstand (minor) daily abuse. You get a few pages of brightly colored information on the wonders of CS and a few pages of instructions on how to use THIS machine. I read everything--nothing I haven't read dozens of times before. So it passed the first test: it was in-line with my research. You see in the product images *exactly* what you will get. A pair of silver wires, the timer, green scrubby pad, and the machine. Oh, and the thermometer is a nice touch, but I stopped using that after the novelty wore off. Dollar for dollar this is the VERY BEST colloidal silver kit I have ever seen, at any price--and speaking of pricing--it is worth it. It is ridiculously easy to use. Push red and black tabs, inset wire. Noting could be easier. Insert in water--light comes on. Voila. I suggest making half a gallon at a time. This *does* make colloidal silver (and ionic) so that other reviewer was wrong (sorry). It depends on the WATER YOU USE. Do **not** not not use tap water. Never. Under any circumstances. Use distilled water (look on the water jug label fine print to see the words "reverse osmosis, filtration AND steam distillation"). Don't worry, water is cheap. Less than a buck a gallon. Run the machine for 20 minutes, clean the rods thoroughly, run for 20-30 more (my suggestion, you do what is best for you). I am NOT a doctor and this is NOT medical advice. I can't tell you health benefits or to drink 6-8 ounces a day for a week, or anything like that. So I won't. All I have to say is that this machine works and it is easy to use and it is a LOT cheaper than most machines I have found online. The guy who puts this together really does an expert job. They care and it shows. As to pre-made colloidal silver in a bottle, well this seems to work just as well, even though they state you will get 250-1,000 ppm in their bottle. I have a water tester and I get 20-30 ppm after a few cycles (remember to clean the rods after 15-20 mins, and shorter increments of time once the water gets more silvery). I have been at this for over a decade, so I speak from experience. I wish I could tell you more but I am not going to get in trouble with the AMA or the FDA. Anyway, thanks for reading. I hope this helps.
