Ionic Colloidal Silver
Why ionic? Metallic silver is not water soluble (does not dissolve in water) but ionic silver is water soluble (it does dissolve in water).
Colloidal Silver General Information
Colloidal Silver is a powerful disinfectant and healing agent that can be used for many applications. Colloidal mineral particles are between .001 and .01 microns in diameter and are suspended in pure water. In a concentrated form, Colloidal Silver is 99.9% pure silver particles. The colloidal particles are so small that when they are mixed with distilled water, the silver remains suspended. It then may be taken internally by the mouth, applied topically as a spray, or may be mixed with other healing agents to form a lotion or salve for other topical applications. Silver functions as a healing agent that works as a catalyst to disable the enzyme that many bacteria, fungi, and viruses use for their metabolism. Silver has been used in a colloidal form since the early 1900′s for its natural antibiotic like characteristics. Unlike many antibiotics, silver helps kill only the bacteria that is anaerobic. Friendly bacteria in the digestive tract and in other areas of the body that are aerobic are not affected.
Silver in Our Bodies
Silver and all minerals are obtained from food we eat. This comes directly from organic soil containing living organisms. These organisms assist in making the minerals available to the vegetation. However, if we eat fruit and vegetables grown on chemical fertilizers, as most plants are grown today, we do not get the necessary quantity of vitamins, minerals and trace elements which occur in organically grown foods. This results in deficiencies which progress over time resulting in an impaired immune function. The results are diseases of aging.
The Key Characteristics
Colloidal Silver is non-toxic, non-addictive and has no side effects. The body develops no tolerance and one cannot overdose. Colloidal Silver cannot cause harm to the liver, kidneys or any other organs in the body. It is safe for pregnant and nursing women and even aids the developing fetus in growth and health, as well as easing the mother’s delivery and recovery. Colloidal Silver is odorless, tasteless, non-stinging, harmless to eyes, contains no free-radicals, is harmless to human enzymes and has no reaction with other medications. It improves digestion, aids in the regeneration of damaged cells and tissues, helps prevent colds, flu and organism caused diseases . HAS IT BEEN MEDICALLY TESTED? YES! Colloidal Silver has been successfully tested at the UCLA Medical Labs where it killed every virus on which it was tested.
Colloidal Silver Uses & Scientific Evidence
Colloidal Silver is considered to be effective against numerous disease causing organisms, such as the Escherichia Coli bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans. It can be used orally as a gargle to prevent tooth decay, halitosis, and mouth sores. As a liquid, lotion, or salve Colloidal Silver is used for treating burns, cuts, skin fungus (Athlete‘s foot), nail fungus, rashes, sunburn, and wounds. Extensive trials proved silver to be the most effective and is currently used in all major burn centers in the United States.
Colloidal Silver has also been used to reduce growth or germs and bacteria in water filtration systems and is used to sterilize air filters.
Colloidal Silver Safety & Interaction Information
The value, benefits, and results of Colloidal Silver is dependent on the age, general health, weight, and the specific metabolism of the user. If pregnant or nursing please consult your physician before using this product.
Colloidal Silver Dosage Information
It is important to read product label directions before use.
Things to look out for when purchasing Colloidal Silver
There are many different brands of Colloidal Silver around at the moment. Some products are more inferior than others. Please note the following considerations before purchasing any Colloidal Silver.
- Always purchase Colloidal Silver produced by the electro-colloidal process.
- Make sure that distilled water or Reverse Osmosis/De-ionized water is used. Either is suitable. We personally believe that RO/DI water is better as you have total control over the quality of water you produce.
- The ideal color should be clear or very slightly golden yellow. Darker colors indicate particles that are too large. A good indication of the quality of Colloidal Silver is the color. As the size of the particles increase the colors can be yellow, brown, red, gray or even black. Do not purchase this type of Colloidal Silver.
- Do not buy if the directions say you need to shake the bottle. This indicates that the product is inferior.
- If the product requires you to refrigerate it, they may mean that there is something else added to the Colloidal Silver that needs refrigeration.
- Ideally Colloidal Silver should be stored in amber glass bottles to protect it from the UV rays of the sun. Plastic bottles can build up an electrical charge that could neutralise the silver particles in inferior Colloidal Silver. Superior Colloidal Silver shouldn’t be affected in this way.
- Always purchase Colloidal Silver produced by the electro-colloidal process.
- Make sure that distilled water or Reverse Osmosis/De-ionized water is used. Either is suitable. We personally believe that RO/DI water is better as you have total control over the quality of water you produce.
Colloidal Silver should be made from pure silver of at least 99.9% pure. We use 99.99% pure. NEVER buy or make Colloidal Silver from Sterling Silver. This contains nickel which can be Toxic.
Do not buy Colloidal Silver if it lists any other elements other than silver, or contains a stabilizer.
Ingesting Colloidal Silver
Taken orally, the silver solution is absorbed from the mouth into the bloodstream, then transported quickly to the body cells. Swishing the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing ensures fast absorption. In three to four days the silver will have accumulated in the tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin. Since Colloidal Silver is eliminated by the kidneys, lymph system and bowel after three weeks, a regular daily intake is recommended as a protection against dangerous pathogens. In cases of minor burns, an accumulation of Colloidal Silver can hasten healing, reducing scar tissue and infection. The lives of millions of people susceptible to chronic low-grade infections can be enhanced by this powerful preventative health measure.
For Chronic or Serious Conditions
Take double or triple the recommended amount for 30 to 45 days, then drop to the maintenance dose. If your body is extremely ill or toxic, do not be in a hurry to clear up everything at once. If pathogens are killed off too quickly, the body’s five eliminatory channels, i.e., the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs and bowel, may be temporarily overloaded, causing flu-like conditions, headache, extreme fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles. Ease off on the Colloidal Silver to the maintenance amount and increase your distilled water intake. Regular bowel movements are a must in order to relieve the discomforts of detoxification. Resolve to reduce sugar and saturated fats from the diet, and exercise more. Given the opportunity, the body’s natural ability to heal will amaze you.
Topical Uses
Colloidal Silver is painless on cuts, burns, acne, abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for a stuffy nose, and even in a body’s eyes because, unlike antiseptics, it does not destroy tissue cells. A silver compound known as silver sulfadiazine has been used in many of the burn centers in the U.S.
Tolerance to Colloidal Silver
It is impossible for single-celled germs to mutate into silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore no tolerance to Colloidal Silver ever develops. Also, Colloidal Silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicine being taken. Inside the body, silver forms no toxic compounds nor reacts with anything other than a germ’s oxygen-metabolizing enzyme. Colloidal Silver is truly a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind’s ills. Colloidal Silver is non-toxic, making it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets. In short, anything bigger than a one-cell animal seems to like it.
What Colloidal Silver doesn’t do
It doesn’t interact with any other medications. It doesn’t upset the stomach, and, in fact, is a digestion aid. It does not sting in the eyes. Medical journal reports and documented studies spanning the past 100 years indicate no known side effects from oral or I.V. administration of colloidal silver in animal or human testing. Colloidal silver has been used with good results under the most demanding health care circumstances.
How Colloidal Silver Works
The presence of Colloidal Silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, Colloidal Silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primative single-celled life. Thus Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, pets, plants and all multi-celled living matter. 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. 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 addition to human usage, Colloidal Silver has veterinary uses, such as for canine parvo virus. 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 diluted Colloidal Silver on the leaves, and add to soil water.
Early Research and History
At the turn of the 20th century, scientists had discovered that the body’s most important fluids are colloidal in nature; suspended ultra-fine particles. Blood, for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led to studies with Colloidal Silver. Prior to 1938, Colloidal Silver was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite “high-tech.” Production methods, however were costly. The pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside in favor of fast working, more toxic and potentially dangerous drugs. Some of the manufacturing methods used before 1938 are still used today. However, it was not until the late 1800′s that Western scientists were able to prove what had been known in Eastern medicine for thousands of years…that silver was a proven germ fighter! Once the discovery was made that the body’s chief fluids were colloidal in nature, the endless possibilities which could occur from the use of colloids in medicine were recognized. As a result, a silver solution known as Colloidal Silver became widely used in medicine as one of the main-stays of antimicrobial treatment, until money became an issue. “What we actually have done, was rediscover that silver kills bacteria”, stated Dr. Robert Becker M. D. “It is non-toxic in micro-concentrations of 3-5 parts per million.”
An electrocolloidal process, which is known to be the best method is used.
Interest in Colloidal Silver has increased most recently, probably because illness causing organisms do not seem to build up a resistance to Colloidal Silver the way they do to pharmaceutical antibiotics. Antibiotics are becoming less effective as resistance to them grows. Also a well known fact is the detrimental effect of antibiotics on the naturally occurring flora in the colon. Colloidal Silver does not disturb this very necessary environment.

SILVER KILLS VIRUSES, STUDY FINDS
Tuesday, October 18, 2005 – FreeMarketNews.com
by staff reports
In a groundbreaking study, the Journal of Nanotechnology has published a study that found silver nanoparticles kills HIV-1 and is likely to kill virtually any other virus. The study, which was conducted by the University of Texas and Mexico University, is the first medical study to ever explore the benefits of silver nanoparticles, according to Physorg.
During the study, researchers used three different methods of limiting the size of the silver nanoparticles by using capping agents. The capping agents were foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The particles ranged in size from 1 to 10 nanometers depending on the method of capping. After incubating the HIV-1 virus at 37 C, the silver particles killed 100% of the virus within 3 hours for all three methods. The scientists believe that the silver particles bonded through glycoprotein knobs on the virus with spacing of about 22 nanometers in length.
While further research is needed, researchers are optimistic that nanological silver may be the silver bullet to kill viruses. The researchers in the study said that they had already begin experiments using silver nanoparticles to kill what is known as the super bug (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus). Already used as a topical antibiotic in the medical industry, silver may now come under consideration as an alternative to drugs when it comes to fighting previously untreatable viruses such as the Tamiflu resistant avian flu.
