Mixing Colloidal Silver with Iodine or Boron/Borax Before Taking

[Bobby]

Anyone who knows,

  Would I end up with some kind of dangerous solution mixing colloidal silver w/either borax or iodine or both?  Or maybe lose effectiveness of one or all?  Just a question on putting it all together and chugging it.  I apologize if this has already been asked. I can't find it anywhere.

I would not.  The borax would not hurt, but the iodine is a very potent oxidizer and might convert your silver to silver iodide, which would not be good.

Kephra,

  Ok good to know. I read where your reply on a post about iodine oxidizing rubber and I should have put that together.  That means I should put at least an hour between iodine & any colloidal silver when taking it.

  Thanks, Bobby

If I remember correctly, I mixed borax with colloidal silver once thinking that their combined antimicrobial activity should be sensational and the previously beautiful yellow colloidal silver turned gray.

It wont if you gelatin cap the silver.

I would not.  The borax would not hurt, but the iodine is a very potent oxidizer and might convert your silver to silver iodide, which would not be good.

Do you put your borax and iodine in your coffee together?

[kephra]

I don't.  I drink enough coffee that there is plenty of opportunity

In that case I will have to try some 320ppm with borax added to see if I can get that really sensational antimicrobial afterall!

Art,

 I will be watching for the results.

Okay, I mixed an ounce of 320 ppm colloidal silver with one ounce of distilled water and then I added one quarter teaspoon of borax and as Kephra said, it didn;t turn gray! So now I have a two ounce spray bottle of what could be a very good antimicrobial looking for a mission to try it on. I think at a quarter teaspoon of borax, this is fairly close to a saturated solution.

My original thought when I first mixed the 20 ppm uncapped colloidal silver with borax, that turned gray, was that one weak aspect of colloidal silver is its light weight mold killing ability whereas borax is a potent mold killer as well as a broad spectrum antifungal as well as an antimicrobial so I was hoping to bolster the mold killing ability of the colloidal silver and possibly have synergy with the other qualities of colloidal silver by adding borax.....like being antiparasitic. I was also thinking that the borax might add to the shelf life of the colloidal silver as it seems that some one mentioned mold growth in their colloidal silver before.

I wonder if the moisture attracting qualities of glycerin would be helpful in this mix?

Now to find something to try it on! Perhaps something like MRSA.

Art,

  Wow you don't mess around your wanting to find an answer. I too shall try to free up some time tomorrow and make the same.  My daughter has a cat with something nasty on its skin.  I just gotta convince her. I'm not going to kill it.

Borax saturated solution and 1 1/2 % hydrogen peroxide can be effective for some animal skin issues like mange and other parasitic issues if the Colloidal Silver/borax doesn't pan out.

(English language is a  "tough customer", for me)... Excuse me, is it:

- 1 part hydrogen peroxide

to

- Half the amount of the above =  Borax  (1/2) ?


Thank you ahead!

[kephra]

I'm pretty sure thats not what was meant.
I read it as a mixture of saturated borax solution and 1.5% hydrogen peroxide.
Perhaps Art will clarify.

A guy on a photography site said this:

"20 Mule Team Borax is claimed to be made of 100% sodium tetraborate decahydrate. No other ingredients are listed. Do not use the penta or other hydrates thinking you are getting better purity. Whenever a recipe specifies borax, it means the decahydrate. Using the same weight of any other of its hydrates will cause you to have more than the specified amount of sodium tetraborate in your solution. "

Thought it may be useful here.
