Chlorine is a commonly used pool chemical as it is very effective in killing bacteria in the water.
Here are some key facts for you to consider, as it may help you decide if chlorine is the right choice for you and your family:
  • Competitive swimmers absorb toxic levels of chlorine during the course of a training session.
  • Children inhale more air per unit of body weight than adults. Therefore, children absorb a greater amount of toxins, relatively speaking, than older swimmers.
  • Amazingly, in hyper-chlorinated pools, dental enamel can become eroded because of increased levels of acidity.
  • While greater toxin absorption occurs through the skin than through breathing, the breathing action alone is sufficient enough, at least in some swimmers, to cause hyper sensitivity and "asthma like" respiratory conditions.

Unfortunately, the list of dangers of chlorinated swimming pools goes on. Chlorine, especially in children who frequent chlorinated pools, has also been documented as an aggravating factor in asthma. Several studies have also linked chlorine and chlorinated by-products to:
  • Bladder cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Malignant melanoma
  • Bowel difficulties
Additionally, scientists are exploring a link between treated chlorinated tap water and congenital cardiac anomalies.

 Picture
Anxiety, depression, tiredness, irritability, apathy and other mood disorders are on the rise.  More people than ever before are being prescribed mood-
enhancing drugs to address mental ails.

Is there a less intrusive way to improve mood that doesn't involve drug intervention? Could anxiety/mental angst be the result of a simple mineral deficiency?

Magnesium, known as the original 'chill pill', is the fourth most abundant mineral in our bodies. It is absolutely vital to our health and is  required for over 300 biochemical reactions. Yet, it is not replaced in our soils and the fields in which commercial crops are grown have become deficient in this essential mineral.

Even a mild deficiency of Magnesium can cause increased sensitivity to noise, nervousness, irritability, mental depression, confusion, twitching, trembling, apprehension and insomnia. 

Magnesium's strong positive effect in calming and nourishing the nervous system make it a premier medicine for sleep disturbances, depression, emotionally disturbed behavior and neurological disturbances.
Some early symptoms of Magnesium deficiency include:
  • Cramps
  • Muscle twitches
  • Insomnia
A more pronounced deficiency may cause:
  • Anxiety/Nervousness/Irritability
  • Hormonal Imbalances
  • Headaches
  • Personality changes
  • Abnormal heart rhythm
  • Dizziness
  • Weak bones
  • Hyper-excitability
  • Retention of sodium
  • Loss of appetite
  • Kidney stones
  • Heart failure 
  • Depression        

Transdermal preparations are the new wave in effective, uniform and safe absorption through the pores of the skin. 

  • People vary greatly in their ability to utilize  typical oral formulations yet they generally absorb minerals quickly and effectively through the pores, especially the soles of the feet. 
  • A significant advantage is a perfectly tailored dosage for every individual at the particular point in time of ingestion, since the body ceases to absorb natural substances through the skin when optimal internal levels have been reached. 
All factors considered, transdermal preparations are the simplest, most direct, safest and most cost-effective mineral supplementation available today.

SILVER COVE TESTIMONIALS
Your product is fantastic for us . There's no strong smell like chlorine, easy to use and above all else our kids don't get any rashes like they do with other products! We will keep using it as it's the best on the market . I'll have to order another container of it soon .
Nigel

I am happy to give feedback about Silver Cove. It has been a fantastic product to use in our spa. My daughter has very sensitive skin so I am cautious about what we expose her to. We have tried another "natural" spa sanitiser previously and been very disappointed with its performance- cloudy water, bad smells, still having to test the water. So when we found Silver Cove we were excited to try it. It has proven to be an excellent product. Just the small weekly top up keeps our spa clean and clear. I have done an occasional shock treatment for excess solids in the spa but Silver Cove has been the main treatment we use. No more silly water testing for ph and hardness- hooray!!! Life is too short! My daughter's skin has no adverse reactions and even seemed to calm down since we have been using Silver Cove (though this may not be the only factor of course).
So thank you and please don't stop stocking this product now we have found it!!
Regards,
Annette B

Absolutely love Silver Cove!  I hated the chlorine and despite being told there was nothing else that did the job I was determined to give this a go. I was so thrilled with the results and being able to sink into the chemical-free water and enjoy my spa!
I have even convinced my critics ad they too said they will give it a go. So I can't thank you enough and be assured I will be a life long user!
Janice

We are very happy with the Silver Cove product for our spa pool. It is so much nicer on the skin than chlorine. We have also recommended this product to our friends.
Christine
I had tried every type of hemical or non-chemical option available for spa pool treatment but no matter what I ussed I would end up with itchy skin.  Hugely frustrating when you are a person who loves a spa at the end of the day.
Your product is fantastic - no skin problems and sparkling clear water every day!In short I love your product!
 Martin

I love using Silver Cove in my spa - very easy to use, soft on the skin and spa keeps clean and no smell.
Cheryll

We love your product, we were never keen on using harsh chemicals in our spa dip tried various alternatives. Silver Cove is the best by far and was happy with the ongoing value for money also.
So we have been recommending Silver cCve to all our friends. We sold the spa when we moved house a few months ago otherwise we would still be happy customers!
 Cameron

We think this product is great this is the third container that we have brought.  Before using Silver Cove our skin had become intolerant to chemical sanitisers giving us a rash. We are now rash free. Our skin has never been better. Thanks for Silver Cove
Chrissy

I am a new user of the Silver Cove spa sanitiser and have been using now for 6 weeks. To date it has proven to be very successful and I am very happy with it.
The mixture rate as indicated has been right on.
Thank you

]]><![CDATA[Silver Cove - the Natural Spa]]>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 22:21:45 GMThttps://www.colloidal-silver.co.nz/blog/silver-cove-the-natural-spa  Your purchase of a spa was likely intended to relieve stress and increase your well being. However, an often overlooked facet of typical pool treatments which can produce the opposite effect, is the absorption of powerful contaminants through the skin and lungs.

The truth of the matter is that Chlorine and Bromine, the usual disinfectants, are highly toxic and potentially hazardous.  If you regularly use your spa or swimming pool you may be taking an unnecessary risk with your health and wellbeing.

    Chlorine is a highly corrosive substance which is capable of damaging the skin, eyes and other sensitive membranes.  Vapors from Chlorine can irritate your lungs and be particularly serious for people who have lung or heart problems.  As we soak in our spa pool we are both absorbing Chlorine through the skin and inhaling Chlorine vapor.

 
Few people realise that Chlorine and Bromine displace Iodine in our bodies, which is a particular cause for concern as Iodine deficiency is a very common problem.  Iodine is mainly stored in the thyroid and the thyroid controls our body metabolism.  The thyroid also affects our sinuses, lungs, kidneys and the lymphatic system. Sitting in typical spa water and breathing halogen vapors can only make this worse.

 
Iodine is the heaviest (atomic weight) of the four halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine).  The three lighter toxic halogens can easily displace essential, beneficial Iodine in the body.

Muscle Cramping can be an incredibly painful and bothersome condition - especially when it continues to cause interrupted sleep.  

Thankfully, this condition can be easily remedied.  Direct application of Magnesium 'oil' or lotion directly on a cramped /painful area generally brings immediate relief. 

Muscle cramping is one of the indicators of a Magnesium deficiency.   Calcium and Magnesium have an important partnership- Calcium causing  the muscles to contract and Magnesium allowing the muscles to relax.

Many of us are deficient in Magnesium as a good supply is needed for all the bodily functions and it is unfortunately no longer possible to get the amounts the body requires from today's foods that are often grown in mineral-deficient soils.

Rubbing Magnesium oil / lotion into the skin for approximately 30 days will get your Magnesium levels topped up to where they should be and besides getting rid of cramps, will assist  the body in myriad ways.

Transdermal minerals (absorbed through the skin) are generally regarded as the fastest, safest and most efficient way to supplement.

Picture
CAGE AND AVIARY BIRDS
Undefined illness. I.e., bird fluffed up, usually resting on cage floor etc.
Dosage . Introduced orally by dropper. Small Birds approx. 110 grams bodyweight, 1 drop 3 times daily for 7 days. Dosages may be adjusted up or down as the situation requires.

Eye and Ear Infections: All animals and Birds.
1 - 4 drops depending on size. Should clear up in 24 hours.

Conjunctivitis:
One drop in the eye for 2 days.

Sinus:
Use a syringe to inject colloidal silver through the nostril openings into the sinus. Dosage 1 drop for finches until infection clears.

Cuts, scrapes, cracks:
Clean the area thoroughly with the solution. Re-apply daily until the wound completely heals.

Egg Infection (Incubator):
Clean the egg thoroughly with warm colloidal silver and wipe dry. Moisten a ball of cotton wool and place the egg on top to allow the liquid to soak through the shell into the embryo. Continue to moisten the cotton ball inside the incubator as required to keep it dam during incubation. Adjust humidity accordingly.

Enlarged liver (Canary):
One drop orally once a day until liver returns to normal.

E.coil Infection:
This bacteria can multiply quite quickly (Often in 24 hrs) in drinking water which has become contaminated by food dropping from the birds beaks as they drink. This water and food can quickly become a clouded soup of bacterial growth. By using colloidal silver in the drinking water, the drinker stays clear even after 48 hrs. Recommended concentration is 1 Teaspoon full of colloidal silver to 1 gallon of water and pro rata (2ml to 1.5 litres).

General Healthcare and Maintenance

]]><![CDATA[Treat Shingles Naturally]]>Thu, 03 Nov 2016 02:30:29 GMThttps://www.colloidal-silver.co.nz/blog/november-02nd-2016

Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. It occurs in people who have had chickenpox and represents a reactivation of the dormant virus.

The first sign is usually a tingling feeling, itchiness, or pain on the skin. After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. The shingles rash develops into small, fluid-filled blisters that begin to dry out and crust over within several days.

Pain from shingles can be excruciating, oftentimes described as deep burning or “stabbing” pain, often in conjunction with uncontrollable itching and deep, debilitating aches. 

Although shingles can be very painful and itchy, it is not generally dangerous to healthy individuals and it usually resolves without complications. The rash and pain usually go away within 3 to 5 weeks.

Colloidal Silver with its anti-viral properties can be very soothing and effective for this condition.  The liquid can be conveniently sprayed on the affected area and, at the same time, 20 ml taken three times a day orally.

Because it is a condition which strikes when the immune system is down, it could be very beneficial to drink a small amount of Colloidal Silver daily (10 – 15 ml).
