HOW DOE'S IT WORK SO EFFECTIVELY?
Colloidal Silver is known to kill 650 different kinds of pathogens,
including bacteria, fungus and viruses in addition to many others. This
is accomplished by inhibiting the enzyme which allows the oxygen
metabolism in single celled microbes. It does so in minutes, safely,
with no side effects and no resistant strains developed, as with
antibiotics.
Humans (and other animals) absorb it so rapidly due to its small ion size
that it is absorbed by the blood before it can reach the gut (antibiotics
very large molecules absorb so slowly they travel into the gut and kill
your normal friendly bacteria (needed for good health in the intestines).
Early medical research indicated silver is stored in the Kupfer
cells in the liver. These cells are one of the bodies defense mechanisms
against infection. Little mention is found in current literature of this
very important added effectiveness of silver.
MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER
The generally recommended maintenance dosage for adults is one
tablespoon per day of 3-5 PPM Colloidal Silver internally. This happens
to be the computed amount of elemental silver we used to get from eating
fresh fruits and vegetables when they were part or our diet in the early
1900's. Since then soil depletion caused by over farming has seriously
reduced all trace minerals, including silver, by 85%.
To treat an infection, much larger doses are suggested, but no
standard can be found. There have been studies where taking (8) ounces
a day for weeks produced no negative side effects, however, in a few
rare cases kill off of friendly intestinal bacteria occurred. This is
a normal problem with antibiotics! We have a customer who had a severe
liver infection which was considered untreatable by his Doctor but it
cleared up in two weeks with a dose of 32 ounces/day! The most common
mention of dosage for treating serious infections is a tablespoon every
few hours or an ounce a day for a few days. Remember, the EPA says 4+
tablespoons a day for 70 years (of 5 PPM colloid) is a safe and acceptable
intake of silver. A few studies have shown the liver filters out silver
from the blood stream close to 95% in just two hours, so if ill you should
yake some every two hours!
The small particle size allows sub-lingual adsorption directly
into the blood stream, by swishing it around your mouth. Excess ions
of silver are said to be released thru normal elimination within 5
days. Only the large (non-ionic) silver particles produced by inferior
manufacture methods are retained by the body but the worse case side
effect is bluing of the skin after a year of excessive consumption. The
bad thing is that the larger particles are of little medicinal benefit!
Medical applications by doctors often require direct injection
into an infected site such as a gangrene area. Many cases have been
reported of avoiding amputation of infected limbs when treatment with
Colloidal Silver was initiated.
Dr.Henry Crooks (Use of Colloids in Health-Disease) found that
silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to
humans and absolutely non-toxic. From his bacteriological experiments
with silver he concluded, "I know of no microbe that is not killed
in laboratory experiments in six minutes".
Brooks Bradley reported: "Several years ago we conducted some rather
extensive evaluations of various protocols promising effective results
against various pathogenic agents which cause "food poisoning". The
one protocol, effective against ALL agents evaluated, was colloidal
silver. A 5 ppm solution proved effective against all pathogens tested;
yielding complete control within 6 to 8 minutes.....regardless of
concentration of the pathogenic agent. Control was effected in some
solutions as weak as one part of 5 ppm CS,to 50,000 parts contaminated
solution. Among the many agents tested were botulinum, campyobacter,
salmonella and listeria (bacterial agents); and norwalklike viruses
and hepatitus A (viral agents). Although we did not conduct researches
involving the marine form of vibrio vulnificus, generally regarded as
the most toxic of food poisons, a facility associated with us---did.
Their results, using colloidal silver at 5 ppm, paralleled those of
ours....on the pathogens we evaluated."
FROM THE BIOCHEMISTRY UNIT, UPJOHN LABORATORIES
"Among a number of metal ions tested, Zn2+(zinc), Cu2+(copper), and
Ag1+(silver) were found to be the most effective inhibitors of renin
and the HIV protease (data not shown). Kinetic analysis revealed that
inhibition of renin by Ag1+(silver) is basically identical with that
seen with Zn2+(zinc), i. e., noncompetitive, first order with respect
to the metal." Biochemistry, September 10, 1991.
From this study, it seems that zinc and silver will work together to
destroy the HIV virus, both type 1 and type 2. Both kill HIV virus,
but don't compete against each other.
COLLOIDAL SILVER WAS FDA APPROVED, as a pre-1938 drug but
they recently issued a "FDA Talk Paper" stating that "all OTC (over the
counter)products containing colloidal silver or silver salts are not
recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded." Basically, they
have blocked the sale of colloidal silver as a drug - no health claims
can be made and it thus must be sold only as a supplement!
IONIC SILVER IS VERY REACTIVE YET FRIENDLY TO HUMANS, WITH NO SIDE
EFFECTS. IN HUGE DOSES OF NON-IONIC SILVER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IT MAY
PRODUCE ARGYRIA, A BLUING OF THE SKIN (REMEMBER THE BLUE-BLOODS OF EUROPE
- THEY USED SILVER GOBLETS, PLATES, FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS, ETC.).
THEY OVER-DID A GOOD THING AND INGESTED SILVER PARTICLES, NOT IONS!
THE ANCIENT GREEKS DISCOVERED THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF SILVER WHEN
THEY NOTED THAT IN BATTLE THE UPPER CLASS WHO HAD SILVER CANTEENS NEVER
GOT DYSENTERY BUT THE TROOPS OFTEN DID. OUR EARLY WESTERN SETTLERS KEPT
SILVER DOLLARS IN THEIR WATER CASKS AND MILK JUGS TO RETARD SPOILING,
AS DID THE BRITISH. In Australia it is still common for settlers to
suspend a piece of silverware in their water tanks to retard spoilage.

If the government added it to our drinking water instead
of Fluoride we would all be far healthier!
The following are excerpts from "Colloidal Silver: The Amazing
alternative to Antibiotics" from The Association for Advanced Colloid
Research, and "Colloidal Silver: The Natural Antibiotic Alternative
" from Zane Baranowski, CN, Healing Wisdom Publications;
"And now it's silver that is finding wholly new uses as a wonder
drug in modern medicine...perhaps it soon will be recognized as:
OUR MIGHTIEST GERM FIGHTER " Science Digest, March, 1978
"We have had instant success with Colloidal Silver and immune
compromised patients. A few examples are: Pink eye (topical) totally
resolved in less than six hours; recurrent sinus infections (oral
ingestion) resolved in eight days; acute cuticle infections - (topical)
- twenty four hours. Another major area in which we have improved our
clinical results is in the area of bowel detoxification and dysbiosis.
The Colloidal Silver has provided excellent removal of abnormal intestinal
bacteria; also it has proved to be a great adjunct to our Candide
Albicans, Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome protocols
" Dr. Evan M., Kansas. "
"A 65 year-old diabetic cut himself on the leg. He washed and bandaged
it but, as often happens with diabetics, the pain persisted, and the cut
grew into a sore. Soon it became bigger than the bandage, and he had to
apply a dressing. Still, it grew bigger and ugly. In desperation he went
to a clinic. His sore was diagnosed as a 'Stasis Ulcer.' For a year, one
treatment after another was tried. Nothing, including Penicillin and
sulfonamide, could heal the ulcer. If his condition had continued
unchecked, his leg probably would have been amputated. But finally he
was referred to a clinic that treated skin ulcers with a silver compound.
This promptly stopped the growth of all bacteria. In less than two months,
the ulcer was completely healed."-Science Digest-March 1978.
"What we have actually done was rediscover the fact that silver
kills bacteria, which had been known for centuries. When antibiotics were
discovered, clinical uses for silver as an antibiotic were discarded"
concludes Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. Extensive research into the curative
properties of silver has been conducted for many years at the Upstate
Medical Center, Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y. under the direction
of above mentioned Dr. Becker. The experiments conclude that silver works
on a wide range of bacteria, without any known side-effects or damage to
the cells of the body. Silver was doing something more than killing
disease causing organisms. It was also causing major growth stimulation
of injured tissues. Dr. Becker concludes that the presence of the silver
ion may help to regenerate tissue, eliminate old or cancerous cell, and
any other diseased or abnormal condition.
