You’ll find that a spray or misting bottle of silver colloid solution may be the most useful health enhancement tool in your environment. Some call it your first aid kit in a bottle.

Newspaper headlines around the world are now ablaze with warnings from the health authorities regarding the rapid spread of the deadly flesh-eating MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) and a number of other drug-resistant “super pathogens“ that are now steadily moving into the general population.

More Deadly Than AIDS

And indeed, the headlines are well justified. According to the October 17, 2007 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, MRSA alone is now responsible for an estimated 94,000 life-threatening infections and a whopping 18,650 deaths annually, and the rate shows no sign of slowing.

That’s 2,650 more deaths per year than those caused by AIDS. In other words, MRSA is now killing more Americans each year than AIDS. And the only risky behavior you have to engage in to contract a deadly MRSA infection is…well…going out into crowded public places where it is so easily spread.

Medical Bureaucrats Hide the #1 Cure for MRSA!

Yet in spite of the growing human toll, the medical bureaucrats responsible for our health are suspiciously silent about the simple cure for this deadly disease, even though it has been well known among doctors and researchers for nearly 30 years.

You’d figure the health authorities would be chomping at the bits to let the public know how to protect themselves, now that these deadly, antibiotic resistant super pathogens are spreading rapidly from the confines of hospitals and jails into the sanctity of children’s nurseries, daycare centers, nursing homes, public schools, colleges, sports facilities, gymnasiums, restaurants, malls, churches and other public places where people gather together regularly. But they are not.

So what’s the problem?

Criminalizing the Cure for MRSA!

You see, instead of alerting the public to the cure for MRSA, the health authorities have instead waged a long, intractable warfare against it for the past 30 years. Indeed, the cure for MRSA was originally discovered by Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. during his groundbreaking research into “incurable” infections at Syracuse Medical University, way back in the 1970’s!

Dr. Becker used the simple cure he had discovered to heal every “incurable” infection they brought to him, without fail. He even published the results of his research in peer-reviewed medical journals, knowing that what he had discovered would, quite literally, change the world.

But instead of accolades, he received anonymity. His research was shunned. And his funding was cut off. To alert the world to his findings, he published two books in the 1980’s and early 1990’s – The Body Electric and Cross Currents – both of which went on to become NY Times and LA Times bestsellers.

But since that time, the medical authorities have clamped down on information about the cure for MRSA. In fact, they have actually passed laws restricting information about it, even to the point of making it a criminal offense to tell the public about the cure for these deadly super-pathogens. It’s astonishing. Yet it’s absolutely true!

You’ll learn more about Dr. Becker’s work and the FDA’s indefensible actions in just a moment. But first…

So What Is This Forbidden Cure for MRSA?

So what exactly is this cure for MRSA and other superpathogens? You already know the answer. It is silver. That’s right. Silver – which has been known as the world’s most powerful natural antibiotic since long before the time of Christ – is the dead-on, no-holds-barred, bulls-eye cure for MRSA and other deadly super-pathogens.

It always has been. And it always will be. And we’ll prove it to you beyond any shadow of a doubt by the time you finish this report.

You see, silver is completely unlike anything man has ever been able to concoct in the laboratory. Unlike prescription antibiotic drugs, silver simply does not create resistance or immunity in the pathogens that are killed by it. In fact, as long as a particular type of pathogen is already sensitive to silver, it will die within minutes of exposure to it. Every time. Without fail.

Again, this information, while perhaps quite startling, is nothing new. In fact, Dr. Larry C. Ford, MD, while working at UCLA Medical School during the 1980’s, documented over 650 different disease-causing pathogens that were absolutely, positively, undoubtedly slaughtered in minutes when exposed to small amounts of silver.

Think about it. That makes silver the greatest broad-spectrum antibiotic of all times. No other natural substance on the face of the earth has the ability to kill so many pathogens, except perhaps for fire.

The Profoundly Air-Tight Case for Silver

As we mentioned above, it all started in the mid-1970s when Dr. Robert O. Becker began his groundbreaking research at Syracuse Medical University. He had been attempting to demonstrate his theory that small micro-currents of electricity could be used to make stubborn infected bone fractures heal completely. And during the course of his experiments, he began using silver electrodes in order to take advantage of silver’s well-known propensity to conduct electricity. But what he discovered in the process took him completely by surprise.

You see, not only did the micro-currents of electricity trigger the bone fractures to heal just as he had expected, but the tiny, electrically generated silver particles that were driven into the bone and surrounding tissue from the silver electrodes healed ALL nearby infections. Even rare and potentially deadly infections such as osteomyelitis were rapidly healed!

Dr. Becker later concluded:
“What we have done was rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, a fact which had actually been known for centuries …All of the organisms we tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant to all known antibiotics…In no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment apparent.”

Yes, indeed. Dr. Becker had re-discovered a fact that medical researchers of old had once known, but that had become lost to medicine ever since the age of prescription antibiotic drugs had been ushered in by the global pharmaceutical conglomerates during the 1930’s and 40’s. He had re-discovered the fact that silver – one of the world’s oldest and most powerful natural antibiotic substances – could kill just about any pathogen exposed to it. Even the most virulent of pathogens succumb to it with ease!

Silver’s innate ability to kill deadly microbes was actually common knowledge among doctors some 60 years before Becker’s time. In fact, back in the early 1900’s Alfred Searle, founder of the global Searle Pharmaceutical Company, had already discovered the fact that silver in its liquid colloidal form could kill even the most deadly of pathogens.

He wrote:
“Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results…it has the advantage of being rapidly fatal to microbes without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable. It protects rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanus or diphtheria toxin.” (Colloids In Biology and Medicine, 1919, by Alfred Searle)

Fortunately, silver’s powerful infection-fighting qualities are finally gaining the attention of many top medical researchers and practitioners. For example, as Dr. Joseph Weissman, M.D. board certified immunologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California Medical School has recently stated:

“Today, many antibiotics are now losing the battle with germs. Fortunately, the best germ killer, which was discovered over 2,000 years ago, is finally getting the proper attention from medical science – natural silver. I sincerely recommend that everyone have electrically generated colloidal silver in their home as an antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agent.”

Medical Bureaucrats Choose to Protect Drug Company Profits Over Saving Human Lives!

Unfortunately, the medical bureaucrats in the FDA and other agencies have been working on behalf of the major pharmaceutical companies to keep a heavy lid on this potentially life-saving information. That’s right. They have chosen to put pharmaceutical company profits over the saving of human life! How? By passing legislation that prevents distributors of electrically generated colloidal silver products from telling their customers exactly what silver is good for, and how to use it for maximum healing benefit!

Indeed, back in June of 1999, just about the time the deadly MRSA super-pathogens first began rearing their ugly heads in hospitals around the world, faceless bureaucrats in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration were busy issuing their “Final Ruling” on colloidal silver, stating that distributors could no longer tell consumers about its powerful antibiotic qualities in advertising or even on the labels of bottles of this potentially life-saving all-natural product!

Yes, even while Time and Newsweek magazines were featuring some of the first stories about the emergence of the deadly, antibiotic-resistant super-pathogens, the FDA was acting to protect pharmaceutical industry profits by instituting an iron-clad information blackout on the one all-natural substance – silver – that could do what the antibiotic drugs were failing to do: kill MRSA and the other deadly super-pathogens.

The bottom line is that nothing can be allowed to pose a challenge to the multi-billion dollar profits the drug industry reaps annually from their worldwide sales of prescription antibiotic drugs. Even when tens of thousands of human lives annually are at stake, including the lives of innocent school children, pharmaceutical company profits are deemed sacrosanct!

Silver Can’t Be Controlled or Monopolized by the Drug Companies!

You see, the drug industry is afraid of silver because it is a completely natural substance, and in its liquid colloidal form – the best form for human use – it cannot be patented and monopolized. In fact, with a simple, inexpensive device called a colloidal silver generator, anyone can turn pure silver into the specific liquid colloidal form most useful to fighting infections and healing the human body. And it can be done for only pennies a quart!

What’s more, because it is not a drug, anyone can sell it. Therefore, the pharmaceutical industry cannot maintain a monopoly on it, like they do with their overly-expensive and in many cases now-useless pharmaceutical antibiotic drugs.

That’s why, in order to protect their profits, the big drug companies successfully convinced their enforcement arm – the FDA – to restrict public knowledge about colloidal silver! And ever since that time there has been a tightly controlled blackout of publicly available information on colloidal silver and its usage.

With the exception of a handful of renegade internet web sites and offbeat natural health publishers who have defied the FDA and dared to bring this vital information to the attention of the American public, there is no mainstream way to learn how to properly use silver to cure infections.

As usual, the vast majority of Americans remain completely oblivious to the incredible infection-fighting power of silver, thanks to the iron-fisted control of the flow of information on it by the medical bureaucrats.

Four Brand New Clinical Studies: All the Proof You Need that Silver Is the Cure for MRSA!

As we mentioned earlier, it has now been over 30 years since Dr. Robert O. Becker M.D. re-discovered the amazing infection-fighting power of electrically generated silver ions against antibiotic-resistant super pathogens. Yet in that time, very little new research has been done to confirm Dr. Becker’s amazing findings – until now, that is.

Fortunately, over the course of the past year and a half, not one, but four surprising new studies have confirmed Dr. Becker’s original findings, demonstrating the fact that silver is the #1 agent of choice in the battle against MRSA and other deadly antibiotic-resistant super pathogens.

We’ll look at each of those four studies in just a moment. Keep in mind that the FDA doesn’t have much control over private universities and their medical research departments, so there was nothing they could do to stop the study (detailed below) conducted at Brigham Young University which demonstrates that silver kills MRSA.

The FDA also has no control over studies conducted by the medical research departments of foreign universities, so we will look at three additional such studies below, each of which prove that silver kills MRSA.

What’s more, recent news media accounts of a man from Georgia who cured his own MRSA with silver have made quite a splash, so we’ll take a look at that eye-opening story also, directly below.

And we’ll look at another news story that has made international headlines, in which a British man cured a very stubborn MRSA infection with colloidal silver.

And finally, we’ll take a look at the battle brewing between two government bureaucracies, i.e., the FDA, which restricts colloidal silver from being labeled as an infection-fighting agent, and the EPA, which recently allowed one manufacturer of a colloidal silver product to state right on the label that it wipes out several forms of MRSA, as well as Avian Influenza (yes, Bird Flu), Human Corona virus (SARS), and other deadly pathogens!

Here is a brief synopsis of this recently revealed good news regarding the incredible infection-fighting qualities of silver, proving beyond any shadow of a doubt its ability to kill the flesh-eating MRSA and other deadly pathogens – often in just minutes!

Case #1:

A Brigham-Young Clinical Study Proves Silver Kills MRSA – In this study, conducted quietly in October 2006 at the Department of Microbiology/Molecular Biology of Brigham-Young University, and published in the journal Current Science, Vol. 91, No. 7, October 10, 2006, it was found that a number of the antibiotic drugs which formerly killed MDR (multiple drug-resistant) pathogens such as MRSA could actually be restored to full efficacy against the deadly pathogens, but only if a liquid silver solution similar to colloidal silver was used in conjunction with the drug!

The researchers wrote:
“Silver–Water–Dispersion™ solution has been shown as an effective antibiotic against many Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multiple drug-resistant (MDR) strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). As high level acquired resistance to conventional antibiotics is frequent, it seems reasonable to use combination therapy in order to achieve bactericidal synergism. Active silver solutions have shown marked activity against proven bacterial-resistant strains. Hence, a range of antibiotics were tested with Silver–Water Dispersion™ solution to determine antagonism, additive and synergistic effects against a panel of microbial strains… It is clear that the combination will allow a more complete clearing of the pathological organism.”

In short, what the researchers found is that when they used the liquid silver solution in conjunction with the antibiotic drugs that had previously lost their effectiveness against MRSA and other deadly super pathogens, the antibiotics began to work again. The synergism between silver and the antibiotic drugs brought the deadly pathogens back under control. Since the antibiotic drugs had previously lost their effectiveness against the super pathogens, this clearly demonstrates that the silver was the deciding factor in the deaths of the deadly pathogens!

Case #2:

Iranian Clinical Study Proves Silver Increases Effectiveness of Antibiotic Drugs Against Staph – This study was conducted by the Department of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Medical Nanotechnology Research Center, Faculty of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences at the University of Tehran, Iran. Say what you will about the Iranians, but when they do a medical study, they do it up right. Apparently Iranian scientists were two full months ahead of the Brigham-Young team above in proving that the addition of silver to antibiotic drugs boosts their ability to kill resistant staphylococcus aureaus.

The study was called, “Synthesis and effect of silver nanoparticles on the antibacterial activity of different antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.” In part, the researchers demonstrated:

“Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been known to have inhibitory and bactericidal effects. Resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogenic bacteria has emerged in recent years and is a major health problem. …these [silver] nanoparticles were evaluated for their part in increasing the antimicrobial activities of various antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The antibacterial activities of penicillin G, amoxicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, and vancomycin were increased in the presence of silver nano-particles (Ag-NPs) against both test strains. The highest enhancing effects were observed for vancomycin, amoxicillin, and penicillin G against S. aureus.”

So once again we see that it is the addition of silver to the three specific antibiotics (vancomycin, amoxicillin and penicillin) that almost magically renews the effectiveness of each of these antibiotic drugs against today’s most deadly pathogens, including staphylococcus aureus (aka MRSA). Silver, as usual, is the key!

Case #3:

Taiwanese Clinical Study Proves Colloidal Silver By Itself Kills MRSA – Another study, this one conducted in Taiwan, also demonstrated that silver colloids kill both MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, another deadly and extremely opportunistic superbug. In this study, a special colloidal silver solution was tested on contact surfaces where the deadly pathogens are known to colonize, and from which they can spread to humans. The silver solution proved to be completely effective against both the MRSA and Pseudomonas super pathogens.

The study, which demonstrated conclusively that silver could be applied to contact surfaces to stop colonies of MRSA super pathogens from forming, was titled, “Formation of colloidal silver nanoparticles stabilized by Na(+)-poly(gamma-glutamic acid)-silver nitrate complex via chemical reduction process,” and was conducted at the Department of Textile Science, Nanya Institute of Technology, Chung-Li, Tao-Yuan, Taiwan. It was published in the journal Colloids Surface B Biointerfaces in October 2007.

Case #4:

Czech Clinical Study Proves Silver Particles Kill MRSA – This study was conducted at the Department of Physical Chemistry at Palacky University in the Czech Republic. It was later published in the prestigious Journal of Physical Chemistry B in August 2006. Titled “Silver colloidal nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, and their antibacterial activity,” the study demonstrated that…

“…silver particles with a narrow size distribution with an average size of 25 nm, which showed high antimicrobial and bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including highly multi-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).” The study further demonstrated that very low concentrations of silver could be utilized to destroy MRSA, as long as the silver particles were very small, averaging 25 nm.

Once again we see silver showing “high antimicrobial and bactericidal activity” against “highly multi-resistant strains” including MRSA.

So why haven’t the medical bureaucrats been shouting from the rooftops about this? Because they do not want to jeopardize the multi-billion dollar annual sales of prescription antibiotic drugs by telling the world that something as simple and inexpensive to produce as colloidal silver could solve the whole problem and save tens or perhaps even hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide every year.

Even when studies show that liquid colloidal silver taken in conjunction with failed antibiotic drugs actually restores the antibacterial activity of those drugs, the FDA still doesn’t budge. It won’t admit it has been wrong all along about silver!

The News Media Begins to Catch On To Silver’s Incredible Infection-Fighting Power Against MRSA!

The evidence for silver continues to grow so strongly that even the news media is being forced to acknowledge it.

For example, in late October of last year, silver was shown to cure a confirmed MRSA infection in an Albany, Georgia man whose doctor had ordered immediate surgery to remove his infected tissues. As you’ll see in the story below, the emergency surgery never had to take place, thanks to the infection-fighting power of silver.

What’s more, in Corby, Britain, an 82-year old man who contracted a serious case of MRSA after a hospital operation, and could not be cured by the hospital doctors, did his own research and began pouring colloidal silver directly onto the infected surgical wound daily. His cure astonished his doctors. Here are the details on both news stories:

Albany, Georgia Man Cures His Own MRSA Infection With Silver – According to WALB News 10 in Georgia, an Albany, GA man has cured his own MRSA infection with silver. It was in October 2007 that Bryan Spell and his wife Ruth of Albany, GA were on their way out of town when he noticed a bump on his neck, next to a shaving nick. Within a few days is swelled so badly it was nearly choking off his breathing. Lab results confirmed the skin infection was being caused by MRSA. Spell’s doctor ordered immediate surgery to remove the infected tissue before the infection could become blood borne and present a threat to his life. But Spell had heard of a special medical patch that released tiny silver ions into infected wounds, and asked his doctor if he could try that first. His doctor agreed and Spell had the patch applied. Within three days his MRSA infection was completely cured. The patch, called Mepilex Ag, is made by Molnlycke Healthcare of Sweden.

82-Year Old British Man Cures His MRSA Infection With Colloidal Silver – According to the Evening Telegraph, one of Britain’s most respected newspapers, an 82-year old British man named David Sharman contracted an extremely tough MRSA infection directly after a hospital surgery. The hospital doctors apparently could not stop the stubborn infection. Says Sharman, “I was determined to help myself and began using colloidal silver directly on my wound daily.” After effecting his own cure, Mr. Sharman told the Evening Telegraph, “Getting MRSA doesn’t have to mean the end of the road. I could feel myself slowly getting better, and the day I got the all-clear was an extremely happy day for my whole family.” Dr. Richard Slack, a microbiologist who works in infection control, was contacted by the Evening Telegraph for an opinion on the case. He stated “The silver is quite a good antibiotic used in burn units because it does kill MRSA and other bacteria that cause wound infections.”

Even More Proof!

Finally, as mentioned earlier, it appears we now have a case of one government bureaucracy contradicting another.

As you are probably aware, when the FDA ruled in June of 1999 that you can no longer make label claims or advertising claims for the infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver, they took great pains to state that their ruling applied to internal as well as external use of colloidal silver products.

Yet now we have the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) granting the manufacturers of a liquid colloidal silver product the right to state that their product, which is marketed for external “surface disinfection” use only, has the ability to kill MRSA as well as other deadly super pathogens, and can do so in only moments! Here are the details:

EPA Forced to Admit Silver Kills MRSA and Other Deadly Pathogens – In another stunning development, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was forced to admit that a patented liquid silver solution called Axen30TM when used as a surface disinfectant had the ability to kill multiple strains of MRSA plus additional deadly pathogens such as Avian Influenza A (Bird Flu), Human Corona virus (SARS), Feline Calicivirus (Norovirus), Rotavirus, Campylobacter jjejuni and Acinetobacter baumannii. Their product, which underwent extensive clinical testing, is now used as a firstline disinfectant on cruise liners, in order to prevent serious outbreaks of infection among the passengers and crews.

What’s more, after viewing the clinical study results which were apparently submitted by the manufacturer, the EPA allowed the makers of Axen30TM silver solution to use a two-minute kill claim for MRSA, and a three-minute kill claim for Human Coronavirus and Rotavirus on their label.

This means the EPA recognizes the fact that the electrically generated liquid colloidal silver substance was clinically proven to kill these deadly pathogens within just two to three minutes of contact!

And Here’s Even More Proof Silver Kills MRSA!

The BBC News recently reported that hospital workers in Britain and Austria are hoping that a special dressing impregnated with silver will prove to be the best weapon yet in the fight against MRSA.

That’s because, for more than a year Professor Robert Strohal, associate professor of dermatology at the Federal Academic Hospital in Feldkirch, studied the effectiveness of a silver-impregnated dressing, called Acticoat, which works by releasing silver ions into MRSA infected wounds for up to seven days, ridding the patient of the infection.

Professor Strohal found that as soon as he covered the infected wound with the silver-laced dressing, they became 95% non-infectious, meaning the infectious microbes were unable to spread to other hospital patients, doctors or nurses.

He was later quoted by BBC News as saying:
“I was shocked by the results. I never expected them to be that effective…The dressing does not allow the infection to escape, which means any nurses and doctors that come into contact with the patient do not then get the bug and pass it on to other patients…This could have a dramatic effect if it is adopted as standard practice in countries like the UK and US where MRSA is a real problem.”

MRSA v/s “Killer Silver Pajamas”?

Since that time, hospitals in Britain have been testing pajamas and bed linen made of a special fabric that is impregnated with silver, as a means of stopping the spread of MRSA dead in its tracks. Over the course of the next year, the specially created fabrics are being used at the Lister Hospital in the city of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire, England. Says Dr. Peter Wilson, a consulting microbiologist:

“A successful trial would transform the way we tackle certain infections, particularly MRSA…Silver is known to be a very efficient agent against infection and also very safe. These trials will mean we can prove its effectiveness.”

Hospitals to Use a $250,000 “Silver Bullet Machine”

According to another British newspaper, The Sun, a $250,000 machine has been developed to spray a special aerosol silver mist throughout British hospitals, in order to stop the spread of the deadly MRSA super pathogens. The newspaper reveals:

“Experts have long known silver is deadly to the superbug and is highly toxic to some other bacteria as well. It is already used in plasters and hospital dressings. But now medics from Leicester University have created a generator that divides pieces of silver into billions of tiny particles. It then suspends them in liquid glycerol to be put into aerosols. The particles are small enough to pass inside bacteria but do not kill human cells. The $250,000 machine’s inventor, Professor Chris Binns, said medical trials will start within the year. He also believes the silver ‘bullets’ produced by his machine could be used to fight HIV.”

Wound Care Company Claims New Study Shows Silver Beats MRSA

A new study from a wound care company called AcryMed confirms earlier findings that silver is a highly effective antimicrobial against MRSA and may be used topically to prevent the spread of infection.

“The results of our laboratory testing show that the infection fighting properties of silver is quite effective in killing the MRSA strain,” said Bruce Gibbins, founder and CTO of AcryMed. “Used in medical dressings or in ointment form, silver can be an extremely useful first defense in stopping MRSA before it develops into a systemic infection. Moreover, due to the nature of antimicrobial silver, it is highly unlikely that MRSA or other developing strains of staph infections will ever build immunities to silver as they have to penicillin and some topical antibiotics.”

According to Gibbins, the use of topical silver antimicrobial products in fighting infections also serves to reduce the overuse of antibiotics. This, in turn, can delay the growing immunity that these bugs are quickly building against penicillin and other commonly used antibiotics.

The Truly Good News!

The truly good news is this: You don’t need a $500 pair of silver-laced pajamas or bed sheets, or a $100 set of silver-laced bandage dressings or even a $250,000 silver aerosol-making machine to take advantage of the phenomenal infection-fighting power of silver.

After all, pure, unadulterated, high-quality colloidal silver can be purchased at just about any health food store in America for about $30 for a four ounce bottle. Or, it can be made for a tiny fraction of that cost (about 36 cents a quart), quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, using a simple, safe, inexpensive, low-voltage Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.

In fact, colloidal silver is so simple to make, anyone can do it. You simply fill a quart glass jar with pure distilled water (available at Wal-Mart for under a dollar a gallon), plug the machine in and set it on top of the glass jar so that two pure silver rods dangle into the water.

Then you set the timer for three hours, plug the machine in, and walk away. Yes, you just set it, and forget it. And three hours later it shuts off by itself and you have a perfect batch of the highest quality colloidal silver possible. It’s that simple!

So Easy to Use!

For phenomenally rapid healing, you can soak gauze bandages in colloidal silver and apply them to infected wounds to stop a deadly MRSA infection from developing and getting into the blood stream. Do this before bed, leaving it on all night, and watch how quickly the infection or inflammation goes away!

If you get a serious internal infection and you prefer to use prescription antibiotics, you can ask your doctor about taking a little colloidal silver along with them, just to make sure. After all, MRSA and other infections from super pathogens are not something to mess around with. They can be a death sentence, and they are spreading rapidly into the population.

Again, according to news reports, up to 30% of the people you come into contact with daily have MRSA actually living on their skin. That’s how prevalent it is, and why health authorities worldwide are so worried. The growth of MRSA and related super pathogen infections throughout the population is almost inevitable, because they are so easily spread from person to person and from public contact surface (such as door handles, bathroom faucets, countertops, shopping carts, etc) to contact surface.

But as demonstrated in the Brigham-Young study detailed earlier in this report, antibiotic drugs that previously worked against the MRSA and other superbug infections but no longer do because of the mutations of the pathogens, actually begin to work again when silver is used in conjunction with the antibiotic!

(We’re not doctors. But personally, we believe it is purely the silver that is working, and the antibiotics could probably be left out altogether. But hey…why take chances? If you have a suspected super-infection and your doctor agrees that you should take the two together for double protection, why not? We have had a number of our readers tell us that infections they suffered from that were unresponsive to prescription antibiotic drugs suddenly cleared up like magic when they began using colloidal silver along with their antibiotics!)

The bottom line is this: Just because the medical bureaucrats don’t want you to know about it, doesn’t mean you can’t take maximum protective advantage of it.

Medical research doctor, Peter Price MB BCh (Rand) MMed (ClinPath) (Stell) lives in South Africa and has conducted extensive tests on the properties of colloidal silver.

“A medicine should be pure and safe. Colloidal silver is pure and safe. There is no doubt it kills all the major antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in hospitals because this I have tested myself and found to be true. It is also very effective in treating burn wounds, and there is evidence that it can stimulate connective tissue stem cells and speed up healing. I use it daily and find it very effective in controlling bronchitis when inhaled either from a spray or through a nebuliser.”

Some alarm was recently spread through reports that the continual ingestion of colloidal silver could turn one’s skin blue.

On 27 May 2008, Paul Karason from Oregon, USA, appeared on a very popular American talk-show and prominently revealed his blue face to millions of viewers round the world. The medical term for his condition, Argyria, is described as a medically harmless but permanent bluish-grey discolouration resulting from silver deposits in the skin. The condition has been linked to the intake of colloidal silver although Karason believes it came about through rubbing the product on to his skin while treating dermatitis.

Karason’s television appearance has led to much wild speculation and unauthenticated claims to generally discredit a product which has a proven track record of remarkable therapeutic results. He continues to sing the praises of colloidal silver and claims he will continue taking it.

For almost two decades, Karason manufactured his own colloidal silver and for many years drank a litre or more per day.

Any over-the-counter medication consumed in such quantities is likely to have a very harmful, if not fatal, effect. Poorly manufactured colloidal silver (particularly home brews) taken to ridiculous excess could result in Argyria but will never prove fatal.

Colloidal silver manufactured under strict laboratory standards and taken according to the recommended dosage is a safe and very good product to use.

Most cases of Argyria reported in the medical literature over the last 100 years involved long-term intravenous or intramuscular use of the silver preparations, most often involving a silver drug produced by a pharmaceutical company and prescribed by physicians which in most cases contained silver nitrate.”

Colloidal silver, like any medication, has a recommended dosage. As a permanent immune booster, one can take 10 ml per day and, in emergencies, one can safely take up to 20 to 40 ml per day. These figures are relevant for colloidal silver preparations of 18 ppm (parts per million).

In a long term clinical study (SL-0035-2008), which terminated in early 2009, by LA-BIO RESEARCH on the oral toxicity of 18 ppm ionized silver, it was established that doses of 14 ml per kg per day are not toxic.

Colloidal silver is invaluable and perfectly safe to take at the above recommended dosage and strength. If you have taken large quantities over a long period, and are wary about possible Argyria, the following will be early warning signals well ahead of its manifestation.

A slightly blue, slate-blue, or grey-blue colour at the base of the fingernails heralds the first sign of Argyria.

Localised Argyria can manifest in the eye from excessive use of silver in eye drops or cosmetic makeup.

Patients would be advised to discontinue the use of any product containing silver should any of the above symptoms occur.

Health assessment studies undertaken by United States Environmental Protection Agency health scientists from several Program Offices and the Office of Research and Development, indicate that colloidal silver is safe taken within recommended dosages but patients need to ensure that the product they buy is made within laid-down manufacturing parameters and is registered with the Medicines Control Council of South Africa. Ideal strength for the product is 4-20 ppm (micrograms per millilitre) and should not exceed 25 ppm.

Medical Uses

During the 1930’s silver was used internally and externally to treat a variety of medical conditions but with the discovery of penicillin and the fact that silver had become an expensive commodity, colloidal silver fell into disuse. In the 1970’s however, interest in Silver was rekindled as a result of its usefulness in treating burns. Silver can be used on large areas of the body. In certain forms it is non-toxic and non-stinging (It can even be used in the eyes).

What is Colloidal Silver?

A “colloid” consists of ultra-microscopic particles, which have a diameter of between 0.0002 & 0.015 microns (0.2 & 15 nano metres). These particles stay suspended in a liquid because they have a tiny charge placed on them by the Electro-colloidal process. The particles are so small (normally cannot be seen by the naked eye), that the force of the electrical charge on them, against water molecules is greater than the force of gravity. The particles, in appropriate concentration, can stay in suspension almost indefinitely. As a result, no chemicals or stabilisers are required.

Ionic+ Silver is silver literally dissolved in water. A silver ion is chemically the smallest form of silver possible. A negatively charged OH molecule keeps the balance in the solution as the silver ion is positively charged.

Silver Lab Ionic+ Colloidal Silver is manufactured by an electro-chemical process which results in a solution that contains mainly Ionic+ Silver with a small amount of actual colloidal silver. Another name for this type of colloidal silver is “Electrically Isolated Silver” (EIS)

How Does Colloidal Silver Work?

Bacteria are single celled “animals”. They do not have lungs with which to breathe, so they depend on attaching themselves to certain enzymes in order to get the oxygen they require to live and thrive. Silver acts upon these enzymes and prevents the bacteria from breathing, thus suffocating them.

Colloidal silver has been shown to be bactericidal to 650 strains of diseasing causing organisms (ref. R Becker). This is why colloidal silver is useful in assisting in the treatment of so many conditions.

The unique property of colloidal silver is that on the one hand it is toxic to single celled microbes (including bacteria, virus and fungus), and on the other hand it helps with the healing process of human tissue, this is the reason it is so helpful in the treatment of burn wounds and cuts and scrapes.

Is Colloidal Silver Safe?

Colloidal silver can be taken internally and applied topically. It is non-toxic in the correct concentration and no drug interactions have been reported. It can be used to assist in the treatment of a number of conditions or taken as a preventative measure.

Has Colloidal Silver been Medically Tested?

Colloidal Silver has been successfully tested at the UCLA Medical Laboratories. It has also been tested for the Silver Lab by the SABS for, amongst others, the following microbes:

• Escherichia coli (E coli) Inhibits at ¼ strength SL Ionic Colloidal Silver
• Proteus vulgaris Inhibits at ¼ strength SL Ionic Colloidal Silver Staphylococcus aureus Inhibits at 1/8 strength SL Ionic Colloidal Silver
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa Inhibits at 1/8 strength SL Ionic Colloidal Silver
• Candida albicans Kills 99.9%

At present tests are being carried out against diseases such as Tuberculosis, malaria and certain of the AIDS defining diseases, with very promising results. SABS tested samples of Silver Lab SL Colloidal Silver for sterility and product was found to be sterile. (Bioburden zero, yeasts, moulds and non-selective aerobic bacteria).

Silver Lab Colloidal Silver is Available in Four Different Forms:

Liquid

The liquid contains no alcohol or sugar and the Silver ions are suspended in distilled water.

Dosage and Directions for Use:

From 10ml 3 or 4 times daily. Chronic conditions up to 500ml daily.

Optimum dose may require more or less colloidal silver depending on the state of the immune system. Aching and sluggishness may be felt on the 3rd or 4th day after commencement date. This is called a “healing crisis”. The body is getting rid of many toxins at one time and the elimination organs can become overloaded. To combat this, drink extra water. To calculate how much water you should be drinking on a cool day, i.e. on a day that you are not sweating excessively, multiply your body mass (weight) in kilograms by 0.03.

(85kg x 0.03 = 2.55 litres of water per day). After a few days of drinking water like this, you may find that you start craving salt. Add the salt to your food or go to www.watercure.com to find out more. Continue to drink water in this way even after you have completed taking a course of SL Colloidal Silver.

For the treatment of itchy eyes, instil one drop into each eye or rinse eyes in an eye bath with undiluted colloidal silver.

Gel

The colloidal silver gel is effective in helping to treat burns, cuts, wounds, sunburn, herpes zoster, rashes, insect bites & stings. The gel washes off easily which is ideal when changing dressings on burns. If gel is applied to a wound and then covered with a sterile bandage, SL colloidal silver liquid can be poured through the bandage at any time. This will increase the amount of active silver ions at the face of the injury. Pour liquid onto bandages that have stuck to wounds to help release the bandages during dressing changes.

(The gel may be applied inside a baby’s mouth for conditions including oral thrush, Candida albicans)

Cream

The colloidal silver cream helps in the treatment of skin cancer, Eczema, fungal infections including Athletes Foot, cracked heels and dry skin. As it has no colourants, preservatives, flavourings or fragrances, it is suitable for nipple care without the need to wash the cream off before feeds. SL Colloidal Silver Cream helps to soothe and heal. Use on mosquito bites and warts.

Liqui-Gel

The colloidal silver liqui-gel is ideal for disinfecting hands and face. It can also be used in the eyes and on burns, cuts and scrapes and for gargling.

Currently Silver Lab has five products on the market:

• Silver Lab SL Ionic Colloidal Silver Gel
• Silver Lab SL Ionic Colloidal Silver Cream
• Silver Lab SL Ionic Colloidal Silver Liqui-Gel
• Silver Lab SL Ionic Colloidal Silver Liquid
• Silver Lab SL Ionic Colloidal Silver Nasal Spray

What I find most interesting is the wide variety of conditions that silver was known to be a successful remedy for…over 90 years ago! Meanwhile, today, we have medical bureaucrats seeking to quash its use in health and medicine, deeming it to be “not safe and effective.” And we have natural health naysayers claiming it to be “without benefit.” Amazing, isn’t it? Who are you going to believe?

Colloidal Silver

When prepared under suitable conditions and properly protected, colloidal silver  is quite stable even in the presence of salts and of the normal constituents of the blood. Its destructive actions on toxins is very marked, so that it will protect rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanic or diptheric toxin…Colloidal silver has been used with marked success in the following cases, cited by C.E.A. MacLeaod:

• septic and follicular tonsilitis
• Vincent’s angina
• phlyctenular conjunctivitis
• gonorrhoeal conjunctivitis
• spring catarrh
• impetigo (contagious acne of face and body)
• septic ulcers of legs
• ringworm of body
• tinea versicolor
• soft sores
• suppurative appendicitis after operations
• pustular exzema of scalp and pubes
• chronic eczema of meatus of ear with recurrent boils
• chronic eczema of anterior nares
• offensive discharge in case of chronic suppuration in otitis media
• bromidrosis of feet
• axillae and blind boils of neck

Sir James Cantlie

has found it particularly effective in cases of sprue, dysentery and intestinal troubles.

A. Legge Roe

regards stable colloidal silver as a most useful preparation in ophthalmic practice, and particularly in cases of:

• gonorrhoeal ophthalmia
• purulent ophthalmia of infants
• infected ulcers of the cornea and hypopyon ulcer (tapping of the interior chamber and cautery, and other operative procedures being now rarely required, whilst if perforation does occur it is smaller and more manageable)
• interstitial keratitis, blepharitis, dacryocystitis, and burns and other wounds of the cornea

According to this authority, the great chemosis which usually accompanies the use of silver nitrate is avoided and, in his opinion, if colloidal silver were adopted in every case of purulent ophthalmia of infants, “there would be no such thing as impaired sight or blindness from this cause.”

Sir Malcolm Morris

has found that colloidal silver is free from the drawbacks of other preparations of silver, viz. the pain caused and the discoloration of the skin; indeed, instead of producing irritation it has a distinctly soothing effect. It rapidly subdues inflammation and promotes the healing of lesions. He has had remarkable results in enlarged prostate with irritation of the bladder, in pruritis ani and perineal eczema, and in haemorrhoids.

J. Mark Hovell

has found colloidal silver beneficial for permanently restoring the potency of the Eustachian tubes and for reducing nasopharyngeal catarrh.

Colloidal silver has also been used successfully in septic conditions of the mouth (including tonsilitis and quinsies), ear (including Menier’s symptoms and closure to Valsava’s inflation), and in generalized septicemia, leucorrhoea, cystitis, whopping cough, and shingles.

Collosol argentum [an older commercial form of colloidal silver] has also proved useful in influenza, both as a prophylactic and for curative purposes when applied as a spray to the nostrils, for bathing the eyes, and as a gargle for the throat.

B. Seymour Jones

has used an intranasal spray of colloidal silver in ca case of cerebro-spinal meningitis. He has also used colloidal silver with marked advantage in several cases of rhinitis and oedematous enlargement of the posterior ends of the middle and inferior turbinates with true hyperplasia.

“Colloidal silver just might be the next germ-fighting wonder drug. And not just for the serious threats making headlines: It’s also effective against bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and fungal infections like Candida. No matter how much a germ mutates, it can’t change enough to escape the damaging effects of colloidal silver. And in the process, the silver doesn’t harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in the intestine the way antibiotics and other medications do.”

“Silver belongs to the family of metals that also includes copper and gold (both of which can also have numerous health benefits when they’re used properly). One of the primary concerns people tend to have about using these metals is the risk that they’ll accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal toxicity. But if you have plenty of antioxidants in your diet, such as selenium, vitamin E, and amino acids like N-acetyl cysteine, you’re safe from any harmful effects from this family of metals. Germs, however, are not.”

“Beginning in the 1970s, several independent researchers found that silver ions easily destroy Candida and other fungi. But it wasn’t until a pilot study during the mid- 1990s that included human patients suffering from terminal AIDS that medical researchers established solid evidence showing just how quick and effective silver ions can be in the treatment of Candida as well as HIV. In this study, nine individuals who were near death were divided into two subgroups. One group suffered from HIV and a terrible Candida infection. The other group suffered from both HIV and an extreme form of malnutrition (known as Wasting Syndrome). The researchers found that in both groups the colloidal silver was capable of killing pathogens and purging the bloodstream of germ defenses in order to restore the immune system.”

The Natural Way to Heal by Walter Last

“However, if you store drinking water for a longer time, you can add some colloidal silver or hydrogen peroxide to keep it free of molds and other microbes or possibly put a piece of clean copper or a silver coin at the bottom of the container.”  – pg 40

“Colloidal silver has a long history in medicine as a natural antibiotic. It is very effective in killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and the cancer microbe. No serious side effects from overdosing have been reported.” – pg 161

“In contrast to medical antibiotics that can be used only against specific microbes, colloidal silver has a wide range of effectiveness, eliminating bacteria as well as viruses and fungi. Unlike medical antibiotics, colloidal silver is not known to cause undesirable side effects. Colloidal zinc can be especially effective against viruses. The colloids of copper and gold, on the other hand, are strong anti-inflammatory agents; in addition, copper and zinc can be used chelated (bound) with salicylic acid for similar benefits.”  – pg 161

“Colloidal silver is commercially available with a common solution strength of five silver atoms per million molecules of water, or 5 ppm, but it may be up to 50 ppm in very concentrated remedies. However, the size of the colloids may be more important than the strength in parts per million.” –  pg 162

“At the beginning of your health improvement efforts and several times each year, you can take a remedial course of colloidal silver for several weeks to keep down any undesirable microbes that have arisen in your body. Have a sip or tablespoonful three times daily. Preferably, store colloidal silver in a dark glass bottle in a dark and cool place.” – The Natural Way to Heal by Walter Last, pg 162

Prescription For Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A Balch CNC and James F Balch MD

“Colloidal silver is an inexpensive healing agent and disinfectant that has a myriad of applications. It is a clear golden liquid composed of 99.9-percent pure silver particles approximately 0.001 to 0.01 microns in diameter that are suspended in pure water. Colloidal silver can be mixed with either tap or distilled water and applied topically, taken by mouth, or administered intravenously.” — pg 66

“Topically, it can be used to fight fungal infections of the skin or nails and to promote the healing of burns, wounds, cuts, rashes, and sunburn. It can be used on toothaches and mouth sores, as eye drops, and as a gargle to fight tooth decay and bad breath. It can also be used as sterilizer and can even be sprayed on air-conditioning filters and air ducts and vents to prevent germs from growing.” – pg 66

“Taken internally, colloidal silver can be used to fight infection. It has been shown to be effective against more that 650 disease-causing organisms, including Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans.” –  pg 66

“To treat ringworm, use a sterile pad and apply colloidal silver to the affected area. Hands and feet can also be soaked in this solution, a natural antibiotic that destroys some 650 different microorganisms.” –  pg 388

Power Aging by Gary Null PhD

“Rashes, including blistering types, are frequently due to what we put on our skin. One cause is soap because it may contain an artificial chemical that produces an adverse reaction. If you have a rash problem, it is advisable to use the type of soap that is 100 percent natural, or at least one that is unscented. A rash can be cleaned with a mixture composed primarily of aloe vera, along with colloidal silver, bee propolis, pau d’arco, and purified water. Then, wrap the area with gauze that is kept somewhat moist, so the mixture remains on the rash. After four or five hours, the rash should begin to heal.” – pg 307

“Persistent bowel problems have been correlated with recurrent UTIs. Our bodies eliminate wastes in several ways, including the excretion of feces by the bowels, the expulsion of carbon dioxide by the lungs, perspiration by the skin, and the discharge of urine by the kidneys and bladder. If any of these processes is malfunctioning, an excessive burden is placed upon the other systems. I do not believe that antibiotics are the proper treatment for UTIs because they do not get to the underlying cause. The proper approach is to rebalance the system by switching from an acidic diet to an alkaline one. Unsweetened cranberry juice with cherries and raspberries, four to five times a day, can ameliorate the severe pain. Pomegranate juice, two times a day, and grapefruit juice with the seeds and the skins are valuable too. Lemon, lime, and bee propolis with 10 drops of colloidal silver are also helpful. Because of the vitamin C content, these juices will create acidic urine (but not acid in the body), which creates an unfavorable environment for bacteria in the urine and bladder. Chlorophyll from spirulina is exceptionally good for the body as well.”  –  pg 365

“Treat the infection: Your physician can prescribe an appropriate antibiotic to treat the underlying infection. If you are working with a physician who specializes in natural therapies, he or she may suggest the use of colloidal silver, golden seal and/or grapefruit seed extract.”  – pg 274

“Small bowel infections, esophageal Candida and other infections are likely to reoccur. No specific research has been done to show that use of supplementation with flora and other natural therapies can help with reoccurrence, but they do help to boost the immune system. You may be able to keep the infection at bay with use of colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract or garlic capsules. Each of these substances has wide antimicrobial properties, low toxicity and a low incidence of negative side effects.”  – pg 313

“Sinus symptoms…You can also use 1 or 2 drops of colloidal silver orliquid pine bark extract in each nostril once or twice a day…Eye or ear problems, including cataracts, glaucoma, redness, bulrred vision, poor eyesight, ringing in the ears, earaches, soreness or swelling of the ears, eardrum damage, hardness of hearing, and(in rare cases) loss of hearing: Use 1 drop of colloidal silver topically (directly in theeye orear) 3 times a day.”  — pg 178.

“I was told I had second-and third-degree burns on my face and third-degree burns on my hands….the very next day my mother brought me colloidal silver, with directions to use it externally and internally as frequently as possible, because it assists in growth of new tissue. She had learned from Dr. Young that silver’s positive electrical charge counters the negative charge of a damaged body area, bringing it back into balance and enabling the body to regenerate and heal itself. Mom sprayed undiluted colloidal silver onto the burned areas, and I took it by drops under my tongue…My mother applied the silver many times a day. It was absorbed into my skin instantly. It felt cool and tingling and loosened the tension on my face, hands, and fingertips…After only one day of treatment with silver, it was obvious the healing was happening very rapidly. New tissue and skin grew back at an accelerated pace. The swelling of my head diminished rapidly and the breathing apparatus came off almost immediately. The plastic surgeon told me I was healing twice as fast as any burn patient he had ever seen in his long career.”  — pgs 137-138

“Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results…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.” — Colloids In Biology and Medicine (1919) by Alfred Searle, founder of the giant Searle Pharmaceuticals firm

“Silver is highly toxic to most microbial cells and can be used as an antimicrobial agent. Silver-containing compounds, such as silver sulfadiazine, which has broad antimicrobial as well as antifungal activity, and silver nitrate, are used in medicine as topical agents. Colloidal silver is a suspension of extremely small silver particles and was used in medicine until the 1940s as both a topical and an internal antiseptic. Colloidal silver was also known as argentum colloidale, argentum crede and collargolum.” – PDR For Nutritional Supplements by Sheldon Saul Hendle and David Rorvik, pg 110

“Silver – both in liquid solution and as an airborne-aerosol – has been known since 1887 to be extremely toxic to anthrax spores. And it is widely reported in the medical literature on silver that various forms of silver, often at surprisingly low concentrations, routinely kills germs that are known to be antibiotic-resistant.” – International Anti-Aging Bulletin, April 1999, by James South, MA

“Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is re-emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650.

“From 1900 to the beginning of the modern antibiotic era – circa 1940 with the introduction of sulfa drugs – Silver was one of the mainstays of medical practice in Europe and America. Various forms of Silver were used to treat literally hundreds of ailments: lung infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and pleurisy; sexual diseases such as gonorrhea and syphillis; skin conditions such as cuts, wounds, leg ulcers, pustular eczema, impetigo and boils; acute meningitis and epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis; infectious diseases such as Mediterranean fever, erysipelas, cystitis, typhus, typhoid fever, and tonsilitis; eye disorders such as dacryocystitis, corneal ulcers, conjunctivitis and blepharitis; and various forms of septicemia, including puerperal fever, peritonitis and post-abortion septicemia.

Just two drops in each eye can stop itching for a week or more.”  – Proven Health Tips Encyclopedia by American Medical Publishing, pg 197

“Many people are skeptical of claims that colloidal silver can take away pain and accelerate healing. Nevertheless, these impressive attributes are firmly grounded in medical science. Pain is caused by an interruption of the electrical current that normally flows throughout the body at 50 to 70 millivolts. At the point of injury, the current drops towards zero millivolts. This lack of electrical energy also impedes healing. Silver is a superconductor that bridges the electrical gap and restores healthy current flow. You can prove this to yourself by placing a silver coin on a burn and experiencing instant pain relief. In clinical trials at an FDA-approved laboratory, even silver-coated bandages were proven to have analgesic and regenerative properties.” – Dr. Aundrea Adams, Ph.D, CTN

“I have a friend who has suffered for years from chronic pneumonitis, caused by Pseudomonas. Sputum cultures were consistently positive, despite massive doses of horribly expensive antibiotics. Then colloidal silver was suggested, and taken. Sputum cultures since have been negative, and the patient’s general health and vitality greatly improved. Her internist can’t deny the improvement, but won’t attribute it to the silver, of course! It would have occurred anyway; the silver just happened to come on the scene at the right time. Uh-huh.” – Dr. Paul Hine, M.D. (retired ophthalmologist)

“Those of you who have joined us for an HSI Symposium in the past surely remember Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega. He is a board-certified oncologist and the director of Health Horizons Rejuvenation Clinic in Coral Gables, Florida. Based on his experience treating other types of bacterial lung infections, Dr. Marcial-Vega believes he has discovered a way to prevent anthrax from developing even if you’ve already been exposed. He’s currently talking with government health authorities about testing his hypothesis on live anthrax spores, but asked us bring this information directly to you now.

Just in his last decade of medical practice, Dr. Marcial-Vega has treated hundreds of people with a variety of viral, fungal, and bacterial pneumonias. And of all the available treatments, he has seen the greatest success with nebulizer treatments using a colloidal silver preparation. Silver has long been known for its anti-bacterial properties, and the nebulizer allows the mineral to reach the lungs and kill harmful bacteria. Now, in the face of the anthrax threat, he believes it can do the same thing with anthrax spores.

‘We are constantly filtering all kinds of bacteria through our lungs,’ explained Dr. Marcial-Vega. Normally, a healthy body is able to kill off any dangerous bacteria on its own. But in the case of illness, like pneumonia, or an especially lethal bacteria like anthrax, the body may need some extra help. For anthrax prevention, he recommends a daily nebulizer treatment with 4 cc’s of colloidal silver. By following this protocol, Dr. Marcial-Vega says your body can likely kill off the anthrax spores before you even know you were exposed. Colloidal silver may even be useful to treat cutaneous anthrax with the preparation being directly applied to the affected skin.

Dr. Marcial-Vega says there are no concerns about using this treatment because colloidal silver has no toxicity and no side effects. He has used the colloidal silver nebulizer treatments on infants, the elderly, and AIDS patients with pneumonia and has seen great results. All have responded quickly to the treatment even when no other approach seemed to help ñ and no one reported any adverse reactions.

Nebulizers are widely used to treat asthma, and are readily available at stores nationwide. The cost generally runs between $50 and $120 for the machine. Each member of the family should have their own mask, and both adult and pediatric sizes are available for a few dollars each. But the entire family can share the nebulizer machine and the tubing.” — Health Sciences Institute e-alert (10/26/2001)

“In four years we’ve described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We’re just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering.” – Dr. Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute

“The best defense against swine flu, or any flu, is the age old remedy of colloidal silver. The metal silver in its colloidal state can be safely consumed and used in the body. Bacteria and viruses cannot develop resistance to colloidal silver. Silver disables a vital enzyme and mechanism in all bacteria and pathogens so that they cannot survive. It is good to take a few teaspoons of colloidal silver daily to maintain health. More colloidal silver should be taken if experiencing illness.” – Babu G. Ranganathan, Pravda

However, many cutting edge researchers strongly disagree, noting that incidences of illness and disease among the general population has skyrocketed simultaneous to the steep decline in the silver content of foods such as fruits and vegetables.

Silver Content in Food Drops Precipitously

One of the earliest studies reporting specifically on silver content in foods was conducted in 1940, by researcher R.A. Kehoe of UCLA. This study reported that an average daily intake of fruit and vegetables would provi de between 50-100 mcg of silver as trace elements.

By 1975 the amount of silver found in our diet just about dropped off the scale! In fact it was so low that it became necessary to use picograms (one trillionth of a gram) as the unit of measurement instead on micrograms (one millionth of a gram).

As shown in Snyder, W.S., “Report of the Task Group on Reference Man”, the average daily dietary intake (including fluids) of silver has been estimated to be a paltry 70 pg/day. This is indeed a startling drop in the silver content of our foods and water!

Silver, Iron and Oxygen

Silver and all other minerals play important roles in the human body, and if we do not get enough, there are consequences! For example, the mineral iron has the capacity to absorb oxygen and serves as an oxygen transport mechanism in the body. The oxygen rich iron combines with red blood cells to form hemoglobin within the cells. Together they supply the oxygen needs for our body.

Iron is also part of myoglobin, which is the mechanism by which muscle tissue stores oxygen for later use. Some people with iron deficiency (anemia) often feel cold and tired. They feel cold because iron plays a role in regulating the body’s temperature. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Without enough iron, the body’s fuel cannot be properly synthesized.

Silver also has its role in the body and without enough, there are consequences as well! Indeed, at this time it would be important to note that silver, like iron also has the capacity to absorb and transport oxygen. This fact allows silver to aid and support several oxygen dependant functions in the body, which will be covered within this article.

Silver Deficiency = Impaired Immunity

Many researchers over the years have found indications that prove silver does indeed play an important role in our health and immunity, and deficiency in silver impairs our immune system.

Robert O. Becker, MD, orthopedic surgeon and medical researcher, noticed a correlation between low silver levels and illness. Dr. Becker found that people who had low levels of silver (determined through hair analysis) were sick more frequently and their illnesses lasted much longer than people who had higher levels of silver. He believed a silver deficiency was the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system.

In his best-selling book The Body Electric, and in his other writings, Dr. Becker reported that silver was doing something more than just killing disease-causing organisms. It was also stimulating immune response in humans. He concluded that silver deficiency leads to the improper functioning of the immune system.

He also noticed that silver was responsible for major growth stimulation of injured tissues as silver is a catalyst for the creation of healthy, new cells. Burn patients and even elderly patients achieved rapid healing of damaged tissue with the aid of electrically generated silver ions. In addition, he discovered that cancer cells could be changed back to normal cells when directly treated with electrically generated silver ions.

What’s more, Dr. Becker was not the only one to notice the relationship between silver levels and health. For example, cancer research scientist Dr. Gary Smith also reported a correlation between low silver levels, sickness and immune deficiency.

Silver and Cancer Cells

Dr. Smith found that people who have low silver levels tend to be frequently sick and to have innumerable colds, flus, fevers, and other illnesses. He states; “Success (in cancer treatment) depends on silver in the person’s body. When silver is present, the cancer cells dedifferentiate and the body is restored. When silver levels are non-existent, the cancer growth rate continues because the cel ls cannot dedifferentiate…I suspect a silver deficiency is possibly one of the reasons cancer exists and is increasing at such a rapid rate.”

Essentially what Dr Smith is saying is this: If there is enough silver in our system, cancer cells – which are mutated cells – will dedifferentiate back to a normal cell. He further suggests that lack of silver in our diets may be at least partially responsible for the increases in cancer we see today.

This is not an unreasonable hypothesis and would also explain the great results that other doctors who use silver to treat cancer have had. For example, Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom of the Karolinsky Institute in Sweden has been using silver in his cancer treatments for many years, and has had great success. He claims silver frequently brought rapid remission in patients who were previously given up on by other doctors.

The research of Drs. Becker, Smith, Nordstrom and others clearly indicate a direct relationship between silver levels in the body and illness. It also illuminates silver’s near miraculous ability to reverse cancer in certain cases, and accelerate the healing of injured tissue.

Medical research doctor, Peter Price MB BCh (Rand) MMed (ClinPath) (Stell) lives inSouth Africa and has conducted extensive tests on the properties of colloidal silver:

“A medicine should be pure and safe. Colloidal silver is pure and safe. There is no doubt it kills all the major antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in hospitals because this I have tested myself and found to be true. It is also very effective in treating burn wounds, and there is evidence that it can stimulate connective tissue stem cells and speed up healing. I use it daily and find it very effective in controlling bronchitis when inhaled either from a spray or through a nebuliser.”

Some alarm was recently spread through reports that the continual ingestion of colloidal silver could turn one’s skin blue. On 27 May 2008, Paul Karason from Oregon, USA, appeared on a very popular American talk-show and prominently revealed his blue face to millions of viewers round the world. The medical term for his condition, Argyria, is described as a medically harmless but permanent bluish-grey discolouration resulting from silver deposits in the skin. The condition has been linked to the intake of colloidal silver although Karason believes it came about through rubbing the product on to his skin while treating dermatitis.

Karason’s television appearance has led to much wild speculation and unauthenticated claims to generally discredit a product which has a proven track record of remarkable therapeutic results. He continues to sing the praises of colloidal silver and claims he will continue taking it.

For almost two decades, Karason manufactured his own colloidal silver and for many years drank a litre or more per day. Any over-the-counter medication consumed in such quantities is likely to have a very harmful, if not fatal, effect. Poorly manufactured colloidal silver (particularly home brews) taken to ridiculous excess could result in Argyria but will never prove fatal. Colloidal silver manufactured under strict laboratory standards and taken according to the recommended dosage is a safe and very good product to use.

Most cases of Argyria reported in the medical literature over the last 100 years involved long-term intravenous or intramuscular use of the silver preparations, most often involving a silver drug produced by a pharmaceutical company and prescribed by physicians which in most cases contained silver nitrate.

Colloidal silver, like any medication, has a recommended dosage. As a permanent immune booster, one can take 10 ml per day and, in emergencies, one can safely take up to 20 to 40 ml per day. These figures are relevant for colloidal silver preparations of 18 ppm (parts per million).

In a long term clinical study (SL-0035-2008), which terminated in early 2009, by LABIO RESEARCH on the oral toxicity of 18 ppm ionized silver, it was established that doses of 14 ml per kg per day are not toxic.

Colloidal silver is invaluable and perfectly safe to take at the above recommended dosage and strength. If you have taken large quantities over a long period, and are wary about possible Argyria, the following will be early warning signals well ahead of its manifestation. A slightly blue, slate-blue, or grey-blue colour at the base of the fingernails heralds the first sign of Argyria. Localised Argyria can manifest in the eye from excessive use of silver in eye drops or cosmetic makeup. Patients would be advised to discontinue the use of any product containing silver should any of the above symptoms occur.

Health assessment studies undertaken by United States Environmental Protection Agency health scientists from several Program Offices and the Office of Research and Development, indicate that colloidal silver is safe taken within recommended dosages but patients need to ensure that the product they buy is made within laiddown manufacturing parameters and is registered with the Medicines Control Council of South Africa. Ideal strength for the product is 4-20 ppm (micrograms per millilitre) and should not exceed 25 ppm.

All Silver Lab’s preparations are manufactured in a laboratory that has a global management standard ISO 9001 accreditation. The laboratory manufactures according to Good Manufacturing Practice status – a legal codification of sound quality principles that have been used by the pharmaceutical and healthcare manufacturing industries for over 50 years as a means of ensuring products have the identity, strength, purity and quality they purport to contain.

We should all heed Aristotle’s sage advice to seek moderation in all things. Many have suffered from an excessive intake of supplements and paid the penalty. The highly toxic effects of vitamins A and D taken in excess, come to mind. Taken within its prescribed dosage, Silver Lab colloidal silver will yield therapeutic results that will please and also astound.
