My opinion: Don't use steroids.
If he has animals in the house, and problems with dust mites you would be better off with an air cleaner.
I know nothing personal about this one, but it sounds like the one to have although pricy.

Any colloidal silver will work in nebulizer. The reason the Ionic is better in the nebulizer is because it isn't as strong and the stomach acid dilutes, so better to use a stronger CS for internal.
I make my own CS because I use it for everything. I have taken it internally, but prefer doing that sublingually which puts it directly into the blood stream where it can enter cells directly without dealing with the stomach dilution as well as whatever else happens in the digestive track.
Plus it is great for colds, or the flu. I haven't had a vaccination since the mid eighties. At the first sign of either, I put it in my nose, ears, and gargle with it. These are the areas where it attacks because you are always touching these areas without thinking with your hands which touch everything from door knobs to money which all can carry bacteria.
So I haven't purchased any, but if I did like Utopia [Luella sells it] because I like Dr. Ken who makes it and sells it. He shut down the gov. years ago trying to hassle him about selling it. My kind of guy.
BTW if you didn't know CS kills about 570 viruses, and bacteria. Good with skin problems as well. Itches, bites,etc. Stronger is not necessarily better.
Hope your boy gets over his allergies

Thank you for the info! Which generator you use and how long the machine will last?
I have had mine for years. I'm sure there have been changes, and improvements since.
They look the same, but in changes I mean electronic.
The only problem that I have had was with the magnetic stirrer, which I recommend you buy, Otherwise the silver sometime sloughs off the silver rods and settles on the bottom. It is an extra cost $50 according to the info in the link. The stirrer was bad when I got it, and if you don't try to fix it, he will stand behind it. I think there is a 3 year warranty.
I use a quart jar like in the picture. They didn't offer the laser cut jar adapter then so i used a plastic lid and cut the hole myself. They are only $3.
Lots of information in the link that you can read, and if you have any question, I will be glad to help if I can.
What you buy is measured in Particles, but the info will tell you that this machine only makes Ionic silver which as far as I'm concerned is plenty since I don't drink it to be diluted. Much of the hype about strength is just hype anyway. {You know mine is better than yours because it's 100 PPM and yours is only 50PPM].
It's been a good machine. I don't use it unless I am about to run out, that may be the reason it's still working so long.
It has done everthing I have ask it to do, which is just about everything you can think of. You can get eveything you need at the link. I suggest a small spray bottle, and dropper bottle, or nose sprayer.
It is simple to make. I set mine on "auto", and "swamp" in the DC mode.
That produces 6 to 10 PPM depending on how long you leave it run.
If you want stronger, just change to "Manual"
Important, just two ingredients for making CS. Distilled water, and 99.9% silver rods.
never add anything else to speed up the process. Never use tap water because of the chlorine, and flouride plus other nasties like pesticides, etc.
They're others that you can buy, but I have no knowledge about them. Some I don't like based on them knocking the competition instead of talking about what they have to offer.
That's all I can think of. http://silverpuppy.com/

Is the home made silver stable?
I haven't experienced otherwise. Should keep it out of the sunlight in a dark place.
Dark glass is recommended, but I haven't ever had any.
How long you can leave it in room temperature?
I have never paid any attention. It doesn't spoil, although like anything else the fresher the better.
I just started to use CS this week and not sure how much I need long run. Can I make a small batch instead of a gallon?
I use quart jars, and when it gets down to 25%, I start a new batch. I don't require strong CS so I can make a batch during the day. Since I don't drink it, I don't use much. I have a hand held nebulizer that don't use much.
I used to make it for my grandaughter while she was in college, and my 80 year old neighbor who had an infected toe. She couldn't get a slipper on it because of the soreness. Soaking it while watching TV, she was wearing a slipper the next day, and a couple of days later it was healed.
I think you should think in terms of a quart, and see how it goes. The quart won't take as much time as the gallon.
It's hard to say how much you should make because everyboys needs are different.
Just go for it, or buy a bottle to see how it goes.
