Colloidal silver use will begin at one ounce daily taken in the morning for three days. Any noticeable side effects will be recorded during this period as a part of a herxheimer effect study conducted with those who have never previously used colloidal silver.
After the initial 72 hour period, the dosage will be increased to one ounce taken twice daily for a period of seven days; one ounce taken in the morning, and one ounce in the late afternoon. Another side effect report will be conducted at the end of the seven day period.
Provided the individual is not experiencing severe herxheimer effects ( in which case the dosage shall be held at one ounce twice daily ), the dose will be increased to one ounce taken four times daily, for a period of three weeks.
After the three week period, the dose will be raised to one ounce taken eight times daily, for a period of three to six months, at the discretion of the co-researching individual. Special circumstances may warrant a maximum dosage level of up to sixteen ounces daily; however, in such a case, dietary changes and supplementation will be required and, due to expenses, must be funded by the individual.
The colloidal silver will be held in the mouth for at least 60 seconds prior to ingestion.
The colloidal silver will always be transferred out of the storage container prior to use; it shall never be used directly from the storage bottle.
In the rare event that severe herxheimer effects are experienced early in the experiment, the individual concerned will have the option of CO-researching a herxheimer effect treatment project; supplies will be provided free of charge.
