WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER

What isColloidal Silver?

People ask why they have never heard of Colloidal Silver. Seventy years ago Colloidal Silver was a proven germ fighter and widely used. It was the mainstay of antibiotic treatment. In 1914 the medical journal, "Lancet", reported phenomenal results from its' use. Dr. Henry Crooks showed lloidal Silver to be absolutely harmless, and non-toxic to humans, and highly germicidal. Colloidal Silver has proven itself useful against all species of fungi, parasites, bacteria, protozoa, and certain viruses.

For centuries we've known the properties of silver. The ancients stored their water in silver vessels to prevent bacteria from growing. Our American settlers would put a silver dollar in their milk containers to hinder it's spoilage. Prior to 1940 articles regarding benefits of colloidal silver were frequently seen in medical journals. During the 1930s silver was used both externally and internally for a variety of medical conditions. Because of the price of silver, (then $100.00 an ounce) and the inception of penicillin and other antibiotics, use of Colloidal Silver fell by the wayside.

More recently "Science Digest" reported in an article entitled "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter", that "silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine." In the late 1970's interest in silver was rekindled because of it's usefulness for the treatment of burn victims. Silver could be used over large areas of the body and is non-toxic and non-stinging, even to the eyes. Today NASA uses silver in their water filters and water purification systems for the space shuttles. Silver not only kills any bacteria present in the water, it also keeps bacteria from growing inside of the filter itself.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Dr. Vasant Lad states in "The Science of Self Healing," that silver is an important healing metal. It is used in the treatment of mental, nervous and movement disorders. Chronic fever, weakness after fever, inflamatory condition of the intestines, hyperactivity of the gall bladder, profuse menstural bleeding, inflammatory heart disease, and liver and spleen disorders all benefit from the ingestion of silver.

Usually, an antibiotic will kill a half a dozen different strains of bacteria. Research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has shown that silver is bactericidal to some 650 strains of disease causing organisms and that resistant strains can not develop with silver the way that they will with antibiotics. Colloidal Silver is an effective wide spectrum antibiotic that disables the enzyme that all viruses, fungi and one-celled bacteria use to metabolize oxygen. This causes them to suffocate. There are NO disease causing bacteria that can survive in the presence of even minute traces of Colloidal Silver. L. C. Ford, M.D. reported in 1988 from the UCLA School of Medicine that silver solutions were effective against Vaginitis, Salmonella Typhi, Streptococcus, Staphlyococcus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, and other enteric pathogens and found that it was fungicidal for Candida Albicans and M. Furfur.

Most antibiotics kill only a few different disease causing organisms. Colloidal Silver is a powerful wide spectrum antibiotic. It has been successfully used in septic conditions of the mouth such as tonsillitis and pyorrhea, (gum disease). It can quickly relieve swimmer's ear or the pain caused by an ear infection. It can help conjunctivitis, as well as other forms of infection or inflammation of the eyes, with no irritation or stinging. Applied topically it can relieve athlete's foot, acne, warts, open sores, insect bites, and cuts and burns. Application is dependent on the problem. It can be taken orally for conditions such as, parasites, candida, chronic fatigue, herpes, shingles, staph and strep infections and over sixty viral and bacterial diseases. Every family desiring the optimal in natural health should have a bottle of Colloidal Silver in their medicine chest.

What is meant by the term Colloidal?

A "colloid" consists of ultramicroscopic particles within the range of 0.004 to 0.015 microns in diameter. These particles stay suspended because they have a tiny charge placed on them produced by the electrocolloidal process. The particles are so small that the force of an electrical charge on the particles against the water molecules is greater than the pull of gravity. As a result the particles can stay in suspension at appropriate concentrations, almost indefinitely with no need for any chemicals or stabilizers. In a TRUE "colloid" these particles are so ultra-fine that they cannot be seen by the naked eye.

TRUE Colloidal Silver should have a concentration of three to twenty ppm (parts per million). Beware of products with higher concentrations. They can attack friendly bacteria the same way that some antibiotics do and this could upset your bodys' natural balance. Higher concentrations of Colloidal Silver are not necessarily better, in fact, the opposite is usually true. When purchasing Colloidal Silver, look for 99.999% Pure Colloidal Silver particles of less than 10 nanometers in diameter in a concentration of 9.2 ppm in deionized water. This is the optimal concentration suggested by health care professionals and researchers.

Suggested use: Adults and children twelve years of age and older can take one to three teaspoons, three times per day. Children under twelve, take 1/2 of the adult dosage. Another way to determine dose is kinesiology or muscle testing. There are no known or recorded side effects from the use of Colloidal Silver. There has never been a recorded case of a drug interaction. It is non-addicting, non-toxic, tasteless and odorless. It is safe for pregnant or lactating women. It can be sprayed on sores cuts, burns and rashes.

Veterinarians also find it useful against canine parvo virus, infections of the skin, cuts or rashes, kennel cough and other diseases. Trace amounts of silver are protective or prophylactic in nature as it naturally strengthens the immune system. Dosage depends on the size of the animal. It can be put in their food or water.
