Silver is an exceptional metal that is non-toxic to the human body. It is, however, lethal to over 650 disease causing bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and molds; while conventional pharmaceutical antibiotics are typically effective against only 6 or 7 types of bacteria.
What is Colloidal Silver?
Colloidal silver is a health supplement that is created by immersing tiny particles of silver into a colloidal base solution.
Colloidal silver consists of silver atoms suspended in distilled ion-less water. The particles of silver are small enough to penetrate on a cellular level and destroy pathogens of all types, including bacteria, fungal spores, parasites, and viruses.
Silver is thought to make the immune system more active, thereby it is more effective at fending off diseases. It is most commonly available in a liquid form that is dispensed with a dropper.
Clear or pale yellow colloidal silver is the most beneficial. The size of the particle affects the color of the solution. Larger particles produce a darker colored liquid, therefore, they are not easily absorbed by the body.
How Colloidal Silver Works?
Proponents of colloidal silver claim that it is effective against every virus and illness. Scientific studies have shown that pure silver quickly kills bacteria. Colloidal silver even kills the super-bacteria that evolve after conventional disinfecting agents kill the weak strains of bacteria.
Silver acts as a catalyst and disables an enzyme that facilitates actions inside cells. It is not consumed in the process, so it is available to keep working repetitively. The enzyme that silver destroys is required by anaerobic bacteria, viruses, yeast, and molds. This is the action that destroys pathogens. It stops them from using the body’s own cells as vehicles for replication. Colloidal silver creates an environment that makes it impossible for pathogens to survive and multiply.
Since it is not designed to combat a specific pathogen, but rather works against the very nature of their life cycles, it is an effective preventative agent against all illnesses caused by all pathogens, including future mutations.
Not only does silver get rid of pathogens, but it helps to promote rapid healing of the infected or destroyed tissues. Most burn centers use various forms of silver and silver soaked bandaging for burn victims.
What are the popular uses of colloidal silver?
1. Ear infections – Less is more when it comes to treating ear infections with colloidal silver. That’s because silver is such a powerful anti-microbial substance. Using too much of it can leave tiny silver particles deep inside the ear canal and on the ear drum itself, which can inhibit the growth of healthy bacteria. This can cause a temporary imbalance that, in some cases, leads to sensations of vertigo.
2. Emphysema – Emphysema is a chronic lung disease which affects the alveoli (air sacs) and/or the ends of the smallest bronchi (breathing tubes). To supplement the immune system, take an oral dosage of colloidal silver. Oral dosages, for a strong immune system, can be up to 3 or 4 tablespoons daily. You can put some colloidal silver in a nebulizer and breathe it deep into your bronchial area and lungs directly.
3. Fungal infections – Fungal infections of the eye and inner eye, thrush mouth, athlete’s foot, and stubborn toenail fungal infections, can be wiped out by using colloidal silver instead of potentially harmful antifungal drugs that have been known to harm the liver. Fungal infections of the eyes can be healed practically overnight by putting a couple of drops of colloidal silver directly into the eyes, several times a day.
4. Dandruff – Many nasty cases of dandruff are actually topical fungal skin infections in disguise. Putting colloidal silver into a simple pump spray bottle and applying it lightly to the head each morning after drying your hair from the shower, will eliminate such typical stealth fungal infections in a matter of days!
5. Healing – Cuts, grazes, burns, dandruff, itchy scalp, and skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, benefit from frequent application. Colloidal silver does not sting and has powerful antiseptic, disinfectant, and germicidal properties. It has also been shown to promote wound healing. You can also spray or dab it onto ringworm, boils, herpes sores, and warts for faster healing. You can also spray it onto burns to prevent infections and promote faster healing without scarring.
6. Stomach ulcers – Colloidal silver provides powerful treatment for stomach ulcers. The silver works to kill the ulcer-causing bacteria H. pylori, further helping to reduce the ulcers in the stomach.
7. Yeast infections – It can be applied typically for vaginal yeast infections or oral thrush (yeast infection). It can be useful for chronic jock itch as well. Thrush mouth, which is simply a Candida “yeast” fungal overgrowth in the mouth, can be rapidly cured by using colloidal silver. Simply swish a tablespoonful of colloidal silver around in your mouth two or three times a day, for a good five minutes each time. You’ll find the “thrush” symptoms diminishing within a few short days, and eradicated within a week or two.
8. HIV/AIDS – There has been some success using colloidal silver with AIDS patients. It adds a layer of needed additional immunity while destroying existing pathogens.
9. Food poisoning – When food poisoning is caused by bacteria (it usually is), then colloidal silver will kill it. Some people who can their own foods, use colloidal silver as a natural and non-toxic preservative. Just drink a good swig, maybe half to one cup, and your stomach will start to settle down within minutes.
10. Gum disease– To treat infections of teeth or gums, hold the colloidal silver for as long as you can in your mouth – perhaps 20 minutes. I have a friend who successfully treated a tooth abscess using colloidal silver, and avoided his dentist’s recommendation of a root canal. Sometimes, however, colloidal silver may not be able to get to the source of the infection underneath poor dental work. The solution is to remove the source of the infection – the root-canalled tooth or post.
11. Preventing flu and colds – Small amounts of colloidal silver taken daily as a tonic will give what some call a “second immune system” to guard against flus and colds. It is easy and inexpensive to make your own. An initial dose is about 20 ml per day at a concentration of 15 ppm – more or less, depending on the state of your immune system and the ailment you are treating. When you are taking colloidal silver, you should not get common colds, flus (influenza) or other infections. Increase the dose if you do, and lower it if you seem to be protected. You may need to increase this dose by several times when treating some types of infections. Use half the adult dose for children, and a few drops for infants (preferably externally).
Where to buy Colloidal Silver?
Always consult your health care professional before taking any dietary supplements, especially to ensure that you are not allergic to colloidal silver or other noble metals that you wish to add to your dietary health regimen.
There are 3 things to remember when buying colloidal silver-
- PPM – The best colloidal silvers will have 10ppm and contain approx. 85% colloidal silver
- Find the smallest particle size of colloidal silver you can find.
- Free from chemicals – Whenever a colloidal product is found that has color in it from milky white to extreme dark colors, it’s safe to assume that there is chemical content.
What are the side effects of colloidal silver?
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of colloidal silver for these uses.
It’s not clear how much colloidal silver may be harmful, but it can build up in your body’s tissues over months or years. Most commonly, this results in argyria (ahr–JIR–e–uh), a blue-gray discoloration of your skin, eyes, internal organs, nails and gums. While argyria doesn’t pose a serious health problem, it can be a cosmetic concern because it doesn’t go away when you stop taking silver products.
Humans have been using colloidal silver for thousands of years. Before antibiotics arrived, colloidal silver was the “standard treatment” for all pathogenic diseases.
The technology for manufacturing colloidal silver safely has given birth to a whole new era of disease prevention and mitigation. Colloidal silver is safe.
