You won't get the quality of colloidal silver that you need to address the Hepatitis C by making it yourself. Conditions such as Hepatitis C call for 20 ppm colloidal silver and there are only two companies that I would recommend, Utopia Silver and Mesosilver. When you consider the price of drugs that would only treat the condition while causing side effects, the price of the colloidal silver is really worth it. This is the best thing you can do for this condition.
You should be taking at least two ounces a day. You will not overdose and there are no side effects. Also, since large amounts of colloidal silver tend to kill the friendly bacteria in the intestines, make sure you take probotics.
