Colloidal Silver – a great antibiotic, an even better bargain…
For centuries man has known the healing properties of silver – water was at one time stored in silver vessels to prevent bacteria from growing.  Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938 and many might remember their grandparents putting silver dollars in milk to prevent spoilage.

Silver goblets were often used at communion in order to prevent infection to other church members, and you will recall the expression of “being born with a silver spoon in his/her mouth”.  It was only the rich and wealthy who could afford the luxury of this commonly known disease prevention.

Prior to 1938 colloidal silver was used by many physicians as mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered “high tech”.  However production methods were costly, and it was at about that time that the pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside in favor of fast working and most importantly, financially lucrative, prescription-only drugs.

Colloidal silver is an effective, wide spectrum antibiotic that disables the enzyme that all viruses, fungi and one-celled bacteria use to metabolize oxygen.  There are no known disease-causing bacteria that can survive in the presence of even minute traces of colloidal silver. It can be taken orally or used topically for conditions such as bladder inflammation, cystitis, parasites, fatigue, herpes, shingles, staph and strep infections, fungus, even for most viral and bacterial diseases.

The reason that the bacteria do not develop a resistance to silver, as they do with anti-biotics, is because silver does not attack the bacteria directly, but instead  it destroys the enzymes they depend on.

Antibiotics normally kill perhaps a half-dozen different kinds of disease organisms, while silver will kill over 650 types.  Just as important, is that antibiotic-resistant strains fail to develop when killed by silver.

A “colloid” consists of tiny, microscopic particles of elemental silver which stay suspended in de-mineralized water.  This is due to a tiny charge placed on them as a result of an electro-colloidal process.  The particles are so small that they remain in suspension, and are so ultra-fine, that they cannot be seen by the naked eye.  The electrically charged particles are stronger than gravity so the silver particles don’t sink.  High concentrations of silver do not kill disease germs any more effectively than the safer ranges, which range upwards to 20 ppm (parts per million).

Adults and children twelve years and older can readily take one to three or more teaspoons per day.  Children under twelve, take ½ the adult dosage.  Some health care advisors recommend keeping a maintenance level at one teaspoon daily (proportional to body weight for children).  It is difficult to overdose unless very large amounts are ingested and there are no known or recorded side effects from the use of Colloidal Silver, other than extremely rare situations of Agyria.

Agyria is a cosmetic condition where silver accumulates in the tissue under the skin causing a blue-grayish tint.  It is found only in rare situations where a person has taken very large amounts of silver nitrate for a prolonged time, all research available makes us believe this is mostly an issue of deliberate and misleading claims against colloidal silver.  Here you might recall reference to the old expression about the wealthy who were called “blue-bloods”.

Otherwise there has never been a recorded case of drug interaction and it is non-addicting, non-toxic, tasteless and odorless. It is safe for pregnant or lactating women, however one should not use colloidal silver if they are allergic to contact with silver metal or jewelry.

There are considerable amounts of quite favorable information about Colloidal Silver, with little or no adverse information written.  Two of the more popular sources are The New Colloidal Silver Manual, published by Life & Health Research Group, Inc. and the report Colloidal Silver, Where have you been? by Iris A. Moore.

Colloidal silver may be taken orally or applied directly to cuts, scrapes and open sores such as eczema, itches, acne or on a bandage for use with warts.  It has been used as both a remedy and a prevention for numerous infections, sore throats, itches, burns, eyes, colds, flu, viruses, bug bites,  and a multitude of human diseases – not to mention purification of water.

Colloidal silver has worked just a well on pets of all kinds. Veterinarians find it useful against skin infections, cuts or rashes, kennel cough and other virus-related diseases.  Dosage depends on size of the animal and should be used in proportion to body weight.  It can be added to either food or water.   In the garden or greenhouse, simply add enough to the water or soil and the plants will do the rest.
