Colloidal Silver

What Is Silver Colloid?

Colloidal Silver is the result of an electromagnetic process that pulls submicroscopic particles of silver (.01 to .0001 microns) called silver ions from a larger piece of pure silver into water. These particles are held in suspension by the tiny electric charge on each atom. As minute particles, the silver ions can easily penetrate and travel throughout the body before being excreted through the body's normal elimination processes.

Dr. Robert 0. Becker, MD, noted bio-medical researcher from Syracuse Medical University, and author of the best selling books The Body Electric and Cross Currents, recognized a distinct correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency is often responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system.

Regarding the innate ability of metallic silver to control infection, Dr. Becker said, "All of the organisms that we tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant to all known antibiotics. " Regarding the safety of silver, he said, "In no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment apparent."

Alfred Searle, founder of the global pharmaceutical conglomerate, wrote in 1919 that Applying Colloidal Silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. For internal administration, orally or hypodermically, it has the advantage of being rapidly fatal to parasites without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable. It protects rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanus or diphtheria toxin.

How Does It Work?

Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their metabolism. Unlike with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to develop. In fact antibiotics are effective only against about a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Yet tests show that colloidal silver is effective against more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens, including many viruses. In fact, experts say that no known disease-causing organism tested has been able to live in the presence of even minute traces of electrically generated Colloidal Silver.

When Is It Used?

Here is a small sample of diseases against which Colloidal Silver has been used successfully, according to medical texts: acne, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, blood parasites, bubonic plague, burns (Colloidal Silver is one of the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive), cancer, candida, cholera, chronic fatigue, colds and flu, conjunctivitis, diabetes, gonorrhea, hay fever, herpes, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, lyme disease, malaria, meningitis, parasitic infections both viral and fungal, pneumonia, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, shingles, skin cancer, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis, toxemia, trenchfoot, all forms of viruses, warts and stomach ulcers.

How Much Do You Take?

In the course of our research for this article, we discovered that most researchers writing about Colloidal Silver on the internet have suggested a range of one tablespoon to one ounce per day of 10 ppm (parts per million) colloidal silver as a method of preventing infectious illness and boosting overall immunity. Other users of Colloidal Silver have reported to us that they are taking several ounces per day of 10 ppm Colloidal Silver as a preventive measure. We have noticed that people who are not prone to infections tend to use smaller amounts of Colloidal Silver with great success, and people who are more prone to infection seem to have the best success using higher daily doses in the range of one to two ounces. Please note that we are not in any way, shape or form prescribing the use of colloidal silver with these observations, or recommending any sort of dosage. We are merely reporting what we have discovered in the course of our research, and relating what regular users of Colloidal Silver have told us.

During one recent conversation with a Colloidal Silver user we were told, "I don't bother at all with taking Colloidal Silver daily. I only take it when I am feeling really run down and tired, which tends to make me susceptible to bacterial or viral infections, or when I actually feel a cold, flu or other type of infection coming on. At that point I hit the Colloidal Silver hard and heavy. I generally take a full eight ounce glass of approximately 1O ppm in the morning, and another full eight ounce glass in the evening. I'll do this for several days in a row. Usually, this results in the complete elimination of the infection within two days. After two days, I'll drop back to four ounces in the morning and four ounces in the evening for a few days, just to make sure the infectious little buggers don 't try to make a come back Infections such as the flu or bronchitis that would normally have me down for several weeks in the past now rarely last more than 48 hours since I've started using the Colloidal Silver against them. Also, if I get a sinus infection or a severe head cold, I do two additional things: I place several drops of freshly made colloidal silver in each eye, several times a day And I empty out one of those little nasal spray bottles you get at the drug store that have saline solution in them, and I fill it with fresh colloidal silver instead, and sniff it up my nose three or four times a day. I've never seen anything clear up sinus infections faster than this!"

On his internet web site, well-known Colloidal Silver researcher Mark Metcalf also

discusses dosages. He states:

"Dear fellow researcher, I am often asked how much colloidal silver I drink. Currently, I am drinking about I6 oz. per week of concentrated colloidal silver as a general maintenance dose. This high concentration of colloidal silver is made by heating distilled water to around 150 degrees. First, I pour the water into a 16 oz. glass, add 4 drops of saline and apply current for 10 to 15 minutes. With an 8 oz. glass I limit process time to 10 minutes or less. My guess is that I am making around 500 ppm. If I feel the need, I might drink 16 oz. of colloidal silver a day, or even more. Since the body can easily process the microscopic particles of silver ion, (.01 to .00001 microns), toxic build-up is virtually impossible. I have been ingesting large amounts of colloidal silver since April 1995 with no ill effects. I know of another man who has been drinking 16 oz. a day of colloidal silver (1O ppm) for a year longer than I have, also with no ill effects. Neither of us eats yogurt, or takes acidophilus. I have not received even one report of colloidal silver having a detrimental effect on beneficial stomach bacteria. If there is a danger in ingesting colloidal silver, my experience has shown me that it is in not taking enough. In every report I have received from persons who have overcome severe health problems such as diabetes, chronic fatigue or cancer, they generally drank 2 sixteen oz. glasses a day of 1O ppm or more. These persons did not have to wait long for the results, which often culminated in dramatic reversals in as little as two days. I want to make it clear that I am not prescribing treatment for any person or condition. This report is strictly for the sharing of information with my fellow researchers who have a great deal of freedom as researchers to conduct their own research into this wonderful substance. Again, these are merely observations, not prescriptions. As we continue our research with colloidal silver, I expect to learn many new and surprising things. I hope this information w ill be as interesting to you as your reports have been invaluable to me. In closing, I recently received a report from a woman who cured a dog of a massive parvo infection in just two days with her colloidal silver kit. She simply put colloidal silver in the dog's water. Yours in health, truth and freedom, Mark Metcalf."

What About Pets?

Colloidal Silver has many veterinary uses, such as healing burns, infections, and as an effective treatment against the dreaded canine parvo virus. Just add it to your pet's water regularly, and/or mix it in with their food in order to keep your pet healthy and infection-free.

In The Garden?

You'll also find Colloidal Silver very handy in the garden since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray 10 ppm Colloidal Silver on the leaves, and add it to the soil around infected plants.

On Vacation?

In addition to being the most essential first aid kit item you could bring with you, it can also be used to purify drinking water. Just add one or two ounces of colloidal silver per gallon of water, shake and let sit for 20 minutes to kill pathogens. Additionally, experts say Colloidal Silver is one of the best antidotes for food poisoning known. Some researchers suggest one ounce of colloidal silver every ten minutes until symptoms of food poisoning subside, while others have suggested drinking eight ounces every half hour until symptoms subside. Don't go on vacation without it!

What Doesn't Colloidal Silver Do?

It is not known to interact with any other medications. It doesn't upset the stomach, and is, in fact, a digestive aid. It does not sting the eyes. Medical journal reports and documented studies spanning the past 100 years indicate no known side effects from oral, topical or I.V. administration of properly prepared Colloidal Silver in animal or human testing.

The Bottom Line:

Colloidal Silver has been used with excellent results under the most demanding health care circumstances for nearly a century. It is clearly making a dramatic come back as one of the stars of modern medicine, and it may well turn out to be the answer to today's horrifying infectious disease crisis in which pharmaceutical antibiotics are no longer able to fight against pathogenic microorganisms as well as they could in the past, due to the development of resistant strains.

Banishing Disease With Colloidal Silver --

Article I

by Mark Metcalf

"We now know what 'wealth' is. Wealth is the ability to regenerate forward life. How many people can you take care of for how many days?"

-- Buckminster Fuller

Imagine having your own hospital. Not just any hospital either. After all, the mortality rate generally drops when hospitals go on strike (Ref. l,2,3,4). Death due to toxic drugs, unnecessary treatment, rampant ignorance and a sea of antibiotic-resistant bacteria make most hospitals the Devil's own playground. No, I'm talking about a hospital that makes people well again. Now, imagine that your new hospital is essentially cost free, works anywhere and is the size of a transistor radio, neatly fitting in your shirt pocket. Impossible? Not at all. The only thing unbelievable about it is that every American doesn't already have one.

The "hospital" I am talking about is a Colloidal Silver generator. Silver is a powerful, natural prophylactic/antibiotic, used for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks lined their eating and drinking vessels with silver, as did many other cultures throughout the world (Ref. 5). Pioneers of the American West would put a silver dollar in a jug of milk to keep it fresh without refrigeration (Ref. 6). Did you ever wonder why silverware was made from silver? One of the properties of silver is that it kills bacteria on contact in six minutes or less (Ref. 7). It may be that gold and silver were first used as valued currency because of their medical properties.

Dr. Robert 0. Becker. author of The Body Electric, recognized a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency was responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr. Becker's experiments conclude that silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any side effects or damage to the body. He also states that silver does more than kill disease-causing organisms. It also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and even elderly patients notice more rapid healing. And he discovered that all cancer cells can change back to normal cells. Plus, virtually all strains of pathogens resistant to pharmaceutical antibiotics are killed by silver.

What is Colloidal Silver?

Colloidal Silver is the result of an electro-magnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver into a liquid, such as water (Ref. 8). These microscopic particles can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body. Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that all one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. In short, the bad guys suffocate. Unlike with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to develop. In fact, antibiotics are only effective against perhaps a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Because no known disease-causing organism tested has been able to live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver. Colloidal Silver has proven effective against more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens (Ref. 9). In fact, it would appear highly unlikely that even germ warfare agents could survive an encounter with Colloidal Silver, since viruses like Ebola and Hanta, or even the dreaded "flesh-eating bacteria" are, in the end, merely hapless single-cell viruses and bacteria that depend upon the same enzyme to breath that other pathogenic microorganisms depend upon.To top it off, Colloidal Silver is non-toxic, making it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets (Ref. 11, 12). In short, anything bigger than a one-cell animal seems to like it.

So why haven't you heard of it?

I suspect the user friendly economics of Colloidal Silver may have something to do with its low profile in the media. Colloidal Silver can't help but shine a spotlight on the expensive and deadly nature of our pharmaceutical industries, who are bigger than the Pentagon economically. For example, the pharmaceutical cartel's relentless promotion of dangerous vaccines for humans and animals through government programs have now been linked to everything from increasing crib deaths in infants (who in many documented cases scream for hours before dying), to the increasingly common disease, feline leukemia, in house cats (Ref. 14). Colloidal Silver, on the other hand, is a safe and reliable alternative to expensive pharmaceutical drugs.

It is possible that consuming large amounts over long periods of time may kill some friendly bacteria in your intestines. If taking large amounts, you should supplement your diet with yogurt or an acidophilus supplement from your local health food store, or compensate for possible bacteria loss in some other way. This is not, however, a serious problem, and unlike antibiotics. Colloidal Silver does not weaken the body's immune system. In fact, it is said to give the body a second immune system, creating a shield against disease of all kinds.

As it is currently marketed through local health food stores, colloidal silver contains anywhere from 1 to 5 parts per million (ppm) and sells for as much as $21.95 for two ounces. An average adult dose might be anywhere from a tablespoon per day to a sixteen ounce tumbler, or more, since no toxic dose is known.

This makes store bought colloidal silver far too expensive to take regularly. But thanks to one physicist's (Ref. 14) brilliantly simple design, you can now own your own colloidal silver generator and produce unlimited amounts of high-quality colloidal silver concentrate for the price of water! In using your own silver colloid generator it will become apparent that you now have the power to safely protect yourself, your family, your pets and plants, your community, and (through the dissemination of this information), our nation, from over 650 pathogens, viruses, microbes, fungi and parasites. Upon creating your first batch of Colloidal Silver, you will find it tastes virtually the same as untreated water. And it won't sting, even in a baby's eyes. Congratulations and bon appetite!
