Colloidal Silver
The power of silver as an effective anti-microbal substance cannot be denied. The fact that silver is an extraordinarily effective infection fighting agent that, in various forms, is highly compatible for use with the human body has been established for centuries. This fact has been scientifically proven time and time again over the last eighty years.
Laboratory testing done by researchers, including the staff at Brigham Young University, has conclusively demonstrated that isolated colloidal silver is lethal to a great variety of bacteria and virii. Anthrax, HIV, and antibiotic resistant Staph and Pseudomona are among the countless organisms that fall to the power of silver.
These facts, while often argued by the uninformed, are not unknown to the authorities that govern health care worldwide. We are even aware that a few hospitals, quietly and secretly, produce their own formulations for use with patients where antibiotic treatment has failed.
Silvadine ( Silver Sulfadiazine )
is the number one burn cream used in hospitals to prevent infections and speed the healing of tissues in the most severe burn cases imaginable, and has saved countless lives since it gained wide acceptance through FDA approval. FDA approved Silveron is a remarkable wound dressing that delivers silver ions directly into severely damaged tissues, stopping infection and speeding tissue formation and healing. Silver nitrate is widely used in the eyes of newborns to prevent a blinding infection that was once commonplace. Colloidal silver has long been used in hospitals to prevent the spread of legionnaires disease in the hospital water supply.
Despite the overwhelming evidence that offers such great hope in an increasingly virulent war against human infections, you won't see silver in its most safe and potent form available for use in standard health care in the foreseeable future. While many companies ( the makers of Axenohl, for instance ) pursue research in silver compounds and silver medical devices, isolated silver ( silver ions and charged particles not in compound form ) remains untouched by by the health care industry.
Why?
The expenses involved in gaining FDA approval for a product that cannot be patented outway any possible profit gained through such an endeavor. In today's business world, profits are measured in margins, and research and development money is allocated to products and technologies that offer the widest profit compared to the cost of production.
Furthermore, since there is NO drug effect involved in the action of isolated silver, it is very difficult to establish guidelines for use inside the body, which is a requirement for the use of a formal medicinal substance. For instance, taking two aspirin will likely rid the average person of a headache. A fourteen day regime of tetracycline will rid the body of its targeted infection in normal cases. However, through oral use of isolated colloidal silver, it could take one teaspoon or many ounces, from 45 minutes to a few days, for the relief of a common sore throat. With the same type of infection, the required dosage levels can be variable from one person to the next, even with the same batch of isolated colloidal silver.
It is this quality that lands isolated silver into the realm of natural medicine. While, even as this document is being written, several research hospitals are making great progress in the formulation of successful IV protocols for chronic viral infections, it is unlikely that definitive data will be available regarding the oral use of colloidal silver in the near future. The variables involved are great.
However, this should not discourage anyone from exploring the uses of isolated colloidal silver. There is no need to pursue colloidal silver use in lieu of any other treatment modality. Colloidal silver fits safely and securely within ANY other treatment protocol, whether it is based in macrobiotics, alternative medicine, or modern medicine.
Education is the key to overcoming fear and empowering the individual to make responsible decisions. Action is the key word, and colloidal silver gives an individual the power to make decisions quickly in situations that could mean the difference between life and death.
For instance, in the latest cases of pulmonary anthrax, the individuals involved had at least 72 hours notice that there was a condition arising in the body. With two of the cases, as the condition became bad enough, they sought medical attention. After seeking medical attention, it took 72 hours for a proper diagnosis of the condition, at which point it was far to late to save the lives in question. That is at least six days wasted due to fear, ignorance, and lack of proper action.
An individual fully cognizant of the wide uses of isolated silver, taking responsibility for their own health, could have begun nebulizer treatments at the immediate onset of symptoms. That same 72 hours of ignorance could have been used to addressed the infection directly, reducing bacterial population counts and thus reducing the amount of endotoxins destroying lung tissue. After 72 hours of daily oral use and nebulizing, the individual could still have sought medical assistance while continuing oral use of isolated silver.
Would this have made a difference?
The evidence available is inconclusive. We know that direct contact of isolated silver kills active anthrax, but we do not know how effective the treatment would be in a lung infection. However, it is obvious which scenario, which attitude toward health-care, grants the highest survival potential.
The reverse is equally true. We are aware of one individual, who had successfully used colloidal silver for a number of years, who used colloidal silver to treat a sore throat. After at least a week of the condition not responding, the individual continued, which resulted in the needless death of the person being treated ( the infection was strep throat ).
Again, it is the fear and the ignorance which needs to be guarded against - education and swift action the obvious solution. With sore throats, it is often not good enough to swig a few gulps of colloidal silver a few times a day, since in order for the silver to be effective, it MUST maintain direct contact with the infection. Some infections, due to either the strain of the bacteria or the body conditions, are very aggressive, and the population count of the infection needs to be continually reduced, with doses of even just a teaspoon of isolated silver as frequently as every six minutes. If a sore throat does not respond at all within 72 hours of the symptoms becoming evident, obviously something is not right, and different action needs to be taken.
Isolated colloidal silver is an excellent agent for health. It is NOT, however, the elixir of life, nor the answer to every problem facing health. Wisdom is best defined as accurate knowledge put into action. Our website is designed to grant the interested individual the necessary knowledge to safely and effectively incorporate colloidal silver into any health regime, in a manner that does not compromise health.
Colloidal silver is lengthy subject.
There are different types of products, such as silver salts, proteins, and other compounds, as well as isolated colloidal silver products. Colloidal silver varies in quality and strength. The information and data on our website deals primarily with isolated silver, although for safety considerations we do expound upon silver compounds.
While many state that there is no conclusive evidence that one isolated silver is better than another, this is not true. Work done by Ronald Gibbs, as well as a few other labs and dedicated chemists, demonstrates a marked difference in effectiveness between products. Yet even the most crudely produced isolated colloidal silver is still effective. Sections in our website define and delve into these subjects, and more information will be added in the future, including laboratory studies that document the differences.
The safety of isolated colloidal silver is an important topic, as fear abounds regarding the condition formally called Argyria, a cosmetic condition that results in gray skin pigmentation. We strongly suggest that the newcomer view our safety of use pages to alleviate personal concerns on silver toxicity.
