Frequently Asked Questions

(1) How much BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ should be taken internally in a day for your standard nutritional supplementation?

Standard recommended daily nutritional supplementation on the label is 2 teaspoons to receive beneficial effects. Prudent doctors recommend using BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ daily for health recovery or maintenance to keep current re-infections at bay. People ask, should I use it every day? And the answer is "yes" because we are re-exposed to infectious organisms every single day and re-infections can occur.

(2) Should BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ be taken on an empty or full stomach?

Taking them on an empty stomach is considered best. However, a few people have very sensitive stomachs and experience some minor discomfort (for example - stomach gas) when taking the concentrate instead of the mix suggested with quality drinking water. Better tolerance in these sensitive persons has been observed after taking BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ for a week or two. The discomfort occurs mostly due to the killing of pathogens and subsequent detoxification. When a nutritional supplementation level is finally not creating any detoxification reactions, it may be gradually increased if desired. Detoxification reactions occur when the body obtains good nutrition that is effective in building the immune system against infections, and should not be seen as a negative, adverse reaction - rather what is normally known as a "healing crises". Our sister-product - Zeoheal™ - is highly recommended to be taken daily to assist in the safe and effective detoxification and rebuilding process.

(3) If 4 ounces should be mixed per gallon, with 2 to 8 ounces consumed per day as it says on the bottle, does this dosage equal 1 teaspoon taken up to 7 times per day. (for example - one tsp. every 2 hours up to 7 times per day)?

No. The two to four ounces of diluted BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ concentrate does not equal the one teaspoon seven times a day, however both dosages are adequate as per the following question and answer.

(4) How does BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ compare with prescription grade silver hydrosols?

BIONAID™ is more powerful than even pharmaceutical brands of oligodynamic silver hydrosols because BIONAID™ contains a specialized water (Known as "The Water", "TYMBAK", "Cellerator") that has been scientifically tested and proven to absorb into the cells faster than any water tested, and is exposed to millions of wave-patterns, including the 528Hz wave-pattern. BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ both are actually "wafer grade" and manufactured beyond typical pharmaceutical grade hydrosols. BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ is, therefore, a more powerful aid in detoxification and natural energy restoration. Which is why less is more when you add it to water; whereby the two to eight ounce drinking water range is recommended to help flush out toxins. More than eight ounces of diluted BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ can still produce a heavier detoxification than some critically ill people are comfortable with so be careful. Most people will not have a problem with even three glasses a day, but our recommendations here must take everyone into consideration. Many BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ users drink three glasses a day without any ill effects.

(5) How do you recommend taking BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ for chronic immune system burdening ailments, and how long should the maximum dose be consumed?

Health professionals recommend that you can take seven teaspoons daily for your entire life without getting close to your toxic dose limit. People who are chronically ill can take nine teaspoons daily for several months. Then it is wise to return to the regular maintenance dose. (That is up to 5-7 teaspoons a day.) After you go through this three months at the lower dosage, you can return for three months at the higher dosage. In other words, alternate taking the higher dosage for three months; then the lower dosage for three months. If needed, which is unlikely due to the efficacy of this product, you can safely use this protocol until you are very old. Higher-volumn nutritional supplementations are for aggressively supporting the immune system and/or chronic infections.

(6) Can you use a metal spoon, or do you have to use a plastic spoon?

A plastic spoon is best to protect the resonant energy in BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™.

(7) Do you have to put it under your tongue to absorb it into your blood stream, or can you just swallow it?

Under the tongue is good for rapidly absorbing BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™. However, this is not necessary to enjoy the general benefits.

(8) Can BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ be used topically on skin wounds and cuts, etc.?

Before the passage of legislation to protect supplemts was passed a few years ago, silver solutions were sold across the counter for any purpose desired, even topically, but being that BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ are "nutritional supplements", we can only suggest nutritional applications. It is your decision. BIONAID™ gel may be applied to the skin (soon to be on the market).

(9) Can you put BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ in your eyes, like an eye drop?

Although it is not recommended for use in this way, many people have been experimenting. No harm is expected using BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ in this way except the eye rinse would sting your eyes about the same as rinsing with pure drinking water because it is not an isotonic saline solution. Before the passage of legislation to protect supplemts was passed a few years ago, silver solutions were sold across the counter for any purpose desired, even topically, but being that BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ are "nutritional supplements", we can only suggest nutritional applications.

(10) Is there a shelf life for BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™?

No. There is nothing infectious that is ever going to grow in it, but dating may be used soley to meet legal regulations.

(11) Are there special storage instructions, like "refrigerate after opening", etc?

No. Again, nothing harmful is ever going to grow in BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™.

(12) What is the difference between BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ and colloidal silvers?

Besides its energetic attributes, the special covalently-bonded silver-oxygen molecule makes BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ completely different from colloidal silvers, including the best smallest particle and uniformly dispersed silver hydrosols that do not contain this unique covalently-bonded molecule.

• Permanently suspended by covalent fusion (UCLA and Southwest Labs).
• The Silver Atom is held in permanent suspension by the covalence of many Oxygen atoms and the covalence of a single Silver Atom.
• The orbiting electrons of a single Silver Atom wrap around the Oxygen Atom as the Hydrogen Atoms are being separated during the reaction. The Silver, now a covalent sub-nanoparticle, can then be ingested like any nutrient through the intestinal wall. This minute particle can travel in the blood stream and penetrate cell membranes (without damaging the cell). As a dietary supplement for supporting the immune system, one primary elimination process occurs when silver's positive charged electrons, orbiting past the covalently bonded Oxygen Atoms' nuclei to the outer side of the particle, make contact with a disease-causing micro-organism's negative charged electron (single). The charge of the overall Bion molecule becomes positive due to the ratio of positively charged protons in the nucleus of the oxygen atoms being greater than the number of electrons being shared amongst the other oxygen molecules, silver ion and covalent silver particles. This is one primary factor that speaks to the superior immune support aspects of BIONAID™ and its unique particle. Significantly more infectious micro-organisms (parasites) are dispatched on contact with our Bion particle, exponentially beyond inferior, non-covalently bonded, colloidal particles (whether they be colloidal silver proteins, "super" or any other colloidal silver products). If its not covalent bonded (specifically the type of covalent bond created by the covalent reactor), its not as effective, and "their can be only one" - Bion. The secondary technology used in BIONAID™ is the overall sub-nano-size of the entire water solution that makes our covalent silver's delivery system even more effective. BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ are not a colloidal silver products.

Observed Properties of BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™:

Not an oxygenated or ionic solution
Cannot be precipitated by any means

Undisputed facts about colloidal silver:

• It is not an atomic reaction.
• It is too large to enter the blood stream through normal ingestion processes.
• It is a colloid by static bonding and will fall out of suspension at the slightest agitation.
• It often has approximately 3-5 days shelf life.
• Argyria is a potentially permanent side effect from excess consumption of colloidal silver, deposition of silver salts in the skin cause a permanent blue to bronze discoloration of the skin and mucosa that is darker in regions exposed to UV light. Argyria is an extremely rare occurrence and is seldom harmful; it is generally caused by the excessive consumption of home made colloidal silver or colloidal silver protein (CSP). Covalent silver does not cause Argyria or any harmful side effects, and you are unable to overdose from its beneficial properties.

There isn't any such thing as pure liquid water. Distilled water is a very dilute solution of hydroxide and hydronium ions, because (like many other solvents) water reacts with itself:

At room temperature, about 1 in every 10,000,000 water molecules has dissociated by donating a hydrogen atom to another water. Distilled water under these conditions is actually 10-7M H3O+ and 10-7M OH-. Hydroxide ion is the caustic component of lye, and hydronium ion makes acid solutions corrosive.

Distilled water also reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide according to...

...which brings the pH of distilled water in an open-air container down to about 5.8.

Beware of colloidal silver products claiming to have "pure water" by using distilled, double or triple-distilled water. BIONAID™ does not contain distilled water.

(13) How is BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ metabolized, broken down, or removed from the body?

Regular body proteins pick up the charged molecules of silver-oxygen. Being 400 times smaller than a red blood cell, these covalently-bonded molecules easily pass thru cell walls and can be carried away by the lymphatic system. You dispose of 98% of the BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ you consume in a day, so very little is left in your body after you take it.

BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ starts its elimination process by combining with plasma proteins, after which it is removed by the liver. More than 90% is eliminated in the bile. Most of this comes out in the feces; with very little being excreted in the urine.

The 2% of silver in BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ that is not excreted through the bowel is deposited in the skin and mucous tissues. Tissue deposition of silver results from precipitation of insoluble salts, such as silver chloride and silver phosphate, into cell membranes mostly. These may be transformed to soluble silver sulphide albuminates and bind with amino or carboxyl groups in proteins and nucleic acids. They may also be oxidized to metallic silver by ascorbic acid, or catecholamines, and slowly excreted via your sweat glands.

Regular metallic colloidal silver products, or other poorly produced products such as silver salts or crystals, may be retained for years since your body can not process large silver particles. You either discharge them without any gain or absorb the silver particles in your tissues if they are not removed by the lymphatic system. The fatal dose of retained silver for your average human is 10 grams.

(14) Is there a toxic dose of BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™?

Theoretically, anything can kill you if you consume too much, including your average water. BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ is really a trace mineral water with about 3 parts-per-million (ppm) of covalently-bonded silver in it. At 3 ppm, you would be consuming approximately 0.003 grams for every liter of concentrate you drank directly out of the bottle.

The EPA says you can drink 5 tablespoons per day (2.5 ounces) of 5 PPM regular metallic colloidal silver for 70 years with no sign of risk for even sensitive persons. Even though BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ contains less than 3 ppm silver, users may wish use these guidelines for long term use, but it is not necessary.

Scientific and clinical trials for serious inflammations in severe illnesses have been conducted and are ongoing, and are conducted at slightly more than the nutritional supplementations suggested in number 5 above.

(15) Does BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ kill off good bacteria in your gut as well as infectious, pathogenic germs?

This is possible, but unlikely due to the selective nature of the molecule supplemented. The best thing to do to replenish important bacteria to your intestine is to eat garden-fresh organic vegetables with some soil-based microbes on the food, or else use a good probiotic such as the popular and great tasting "Farmacy Pro Power" available from the WholeFood Farmacy. But common sense tells us that we'd rather risk losing a few good bacteria, if any, than die from a deadly pandemic or other serious infectious pathogen.

(16) Is BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ a nanotechnology and is it dangerous to the environment?

No, but this answer requires more explanation. BIONAID™ or OXYSILVER™ contains mostly water and a small concentration of nano-size silver particles. Although the silver-oxygen bonded molecules are being created using advanced technology, it has not been officially classified as a nanotechnology for many reasons. Among these many good reasons is the fact that it is clearly not a self-replicating form of nanotechnology capable of overtaking natural biological systems, which is a reasonable concern. Assuming it may eventually be classified as a “nanotechnology’ it is unlikely to be commercially restricted because of its life-saving, health-enhancing benefits.

Regarding any rumored risk to the environment from silver hydrosols, there is no scientific evidence that environmental accumulation of silver hydrols will cause any germ species extinctions. In fact, if you seriously consider this question advanced by nano-technology opponents and petrochemical propagandists who accept and neglect the environmental degradation and vaccine heavy metal intoxications you realize this promoted rumor is ridiculous recognizing microbiology's ability to culture and mass produce germs for all kinds of reasons. Germs, unlike bees and whales, are plentiful and easily cultured. Some studies have actually shown a significant benefit to the environment. Those that argue that it is detrimental to waste water treatment have their priorities backwards, and should be using this technology to clean the water instead of bacteria, just as NASA does.

(17) Some people are claiming silver hydrosol nanoparticle is a “pesticide.’ How can this be?

Because special interest, petrochemical-pharmaceutical industrialists are afraid of losing sales in dangerous antibiotics and deadly vaccines to our far safer and far superior products. Their mainstream media parrots are plugging this insanity and genocide. At the same time, largely ignorant people, and otherwise biased, radical "environmentalists", have petitioned the EPA to classify the nano-sized silver hydrosols as “pesticides.’ Their challenge is based on the previous definition the EPA gave of “pesticide’ to include undesirable germs, viruses, and fungi. But, if you read their petition, while carefully reflecting on the stacks of scientific articles proving life-saving safety and efficacy of silver hydrosols, you realize how ridiculously radical their request to classify silver hydrosols as “pesticides’ really is. Drugs and vaccine residues going into the water table and sprayed on crops would be appropriately labeled as "PESTICIDES", as they are proving to be detrimental even to the bees already.

Note: Basic Bion, branded as Oxysilver™ for African distribution, is exclusively distributed to Africa by BioAquatic and Elder (associate of BioAquatic). Elder's Oxysilver™ was the product donated to Uganda for clinical testing this year. Oxysilver™ for African distribution is marketed by WASART African Youth Movement. Oxysilver™ is not the same as Bionaid™ - UPCOSH, as Bionaid™ has been advanced beyond Oxysilver™ (or Bion) with technology developed by Dan Nelson and Elder. WASART will be making UPCOSH available in Africa through special arrangements with the Church of Christ and Elder's ministerial associates, ZAYA, in Africa.

The "Oxysilver™" sold in America by Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz is not the same formulation as the original (first sold in America and promoted internationally on Coast to Coast AM by Dr. Horowitz) and the more advanced Oxysilver™ sold in Africa. While Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz has endorsed Elder's formula, Elder does not endorse Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz's new formula marketed as "Oxysilver™" as a formulation that is equivalent to Elder's formulation, and Elder has not authorized the use of his name in the fabricated "interview", the unauthorized use of Bion tesimonials, or the unauthorized use of "UPCOSH™" that Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz has on his website meant to give the appearance that Elder endorses Horowitz's formulation. Horowitz's formula is not an UPCOSH™ copywritten by Elder, and is absolutely not the first UPCOSH™ as stated on his werbsite without Elder's authorization. Elder's Bionaid™ and Oxysilver™ are the original, most advanced formulations on the market. While Dr. Horowitz has a good product, do not confuse it with the original and most advanced formulations supported by decades of research and new clinical tests, and provided here on this original and official UPCOSH™ website.
