Colloidal Silver -
The Rediscovery of a Super Antibiotic?
Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic and
preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly
disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for
their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without corresponding harm occurring
to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the
destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food.
Early Research
Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938. Many remember their
grandparents putting silver dollars in milk to prolong its freshness at room
temperature. At the turn of the 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 and financially lucrative drugs.
The Food and Drug Administration today classifies colloidal silver as a
pre-1938 drug. A letter from the FDA dated 9/13/91 states: "These products
may continue to be marketed . . . as long as they are advertised and labeled
for the same use as in 1938 and as long as they are manufactured in the
original manner." Some of the manufacturing methods used before 1938 are
still used today. An electro-colloidal process, which is known to be the
best method, is used.
Contemporary Studies
While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs in the late
1970s, Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of The Body Electric, discovered that
silver ions promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria. The March
1978 issue of Science Digest, in an article, "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter,"
reported: "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of
modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease
organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop.
Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic." The article ended with a quote by
Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked
with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's
Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ
fighter we have."
How It 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 primitive
single-celled life. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans,
reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.
Product Quality
Many brands of colloidal silver are inferior. The highest grade is produced
by the electro-colloidal / non-chemical method where the silver particles
and water have been colloided, i.e., dispersed within and bound to each
other by an electric current. The super-fine silver particles are suspended
indefinitely in demineralized water. The ideal color of colloidal silver is
a golden yellow. Darker colors indicate larger silver particles that tend to
collect at the bottom of the container and are not true colloids. If a
product contains a stabilizer or lists trace elements other than silver, or
if it needs to be shaken, it is inferior. If a product requires
refrigeration, some other ingredient is present that could spoil. The
container and dropper must be glass, as plastic cannot preserve the silver
in liquid suspension for any length of time. Some brands with high
concentrations of silver may actually not be completely safe. High
concentrations of silver do not kill disease germs more effectively than the
safe range of 3 to 5 parts per million (ppm.).
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 may result in faster
absorption. In three to four days the silver may accumulate in the tissues
sufficiently for benefits to begin. Colloidal silver is eliminated by the
kidneys, lymph system and bowel after several weeks. If routinely exposed to
dangerous pathogenic germs, some recommend a regular daily intake as a
protection. In cases of minor burns, an accumulation of colloidal silver may
hasten healing, reducing the possibility of scar tissue and infection. It is
believed by many in the natural healing arts that the lives of millions of
people who are susceptible to chronic low-grade infections can be enhanced
by this preventative health measure.
Chronic or Serious Conditions
1 teaspoon of 5 ppm. colloidal silver equals about 25 micrograms (mcg.) of
silver. 1 - 4 teaspoons per day (25 - 100 mcg.) is generally considered to
be a "nutritional amount" and is reported to be safe to use for extended
periods of time. Amounts higher than this are generally considered
"therapeutic amounts" and should only be used periodically.
In cases of illness, natural health practitioners have often recommended
taking double or triple the "nutritional amount" for 30 to 45 days, then
dropping down to a smaller maintenance dose. Amounts from 1 - 32 ounces per
day have reportedly been used in acute conditions.
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 (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 a smaller 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
may amaze you.
Topical Uses
Some have used colloidal silver in a nasal spray mister - to reach the
sinuses and nasal passages. Spray bottles have been used for topical use on
kitchen and bathroom surfaces, skin, sore throat, eyes, burns, etc.
Colloidal silver is painless on cuts, abrasions, in open wounds, in the
nostrils for a stuffy nose, and even in a baby's eyes because, unlike some
antiseptics, it does not destroy tissue cells. It's excellent as an underarm
deodorant, since most underarm odor is caused by bacteria breaking down
substances released by the sweat glands!
Some Common Uses of Colloidal Silver
Natural health practitioners have for years recommended taking one
tablespoon daily, for four days, to establish a level, then one teaspoon
daily for maintenance (proportional to body weight for children). After six
weeks, a pause of several weeks has also been recommended by some natural
healing arts doctors. Also, colloidal silver can be applied directly to
cuts, scrapes, and open sores, or on a bandage for warts. It can be applied
on eczema, itches, acne or bug bites. To purify water, add one tablespoon
per gallon, shake well and wait six minutes. Mixed this way, it's tasteless.
It is not an allopathic poison.
Veterinary and Garden Use
Colloidal silver has worked just as well on pets of all kinds. Used in
proportion to body weight, it should bring the same results. In the garden,
field or greenhouse, add enough to the water or soil - and the plants will
do the rest.
Tolerance To Disease Organisms
We have all heard of the "super-germs" that are resistant to most modern
antibiotics. Some believe that single-celled germs cannot mutate into
silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore
no tolerance to colloidal silver would develop through mutation. Also,
colloidal silver has not been demonstrated to interact or interfere with
other medicines being taken. Inside the body, silver apparently does not
form toxic compounds or react with anything other than a germ's
oxygen-metabolizing enzyme. Colloidal silver may truly be a safe, natural
remedy for many of mankind's ills.
Additionally, there has never been a drug interaction reported between
colloidal silver and any other medication. It's difficult to overdose -
unless large amounts are ingested. Colloidal silver has been reported by
users to be both a remedy and a prevention for numerous infections, colds,
flus, and fermentations due to various bacteria, viruses or fungi, even the
non-apparent low-grade, general body infections many people have. Living
organisms are in the colloidal chemical state, not the crystalline state.
Substances already in that form may be more readily assimilated by the body.
Colloidal silver is the most useable form of a reputedly effective germ
fighter.
A colloidal suspension is ultra-fine particles of one substance, suspended
by an electric charge in another substance. Homogenized milk and aerosol
sprays are colloidal suspensions. Colloidal silver is pure, metallic silver
(not a chemical compound) of particles 15 atoms or fewer, each with a
positive electric charge, and attached to a molecule of simple protein. This
new particle floats in pure water. The electric charge is stronger than
gravity so the silver particles don't sink.
Colloidal Silver in Advance of Illness?
When the possibility of germ exposure is higher, colloidal silver can be
taken orally each day or applied topically when there is a skin problem.
It's like having a second defense system. The silver acts only as a catalyst
and is stabilized. It is non-toxic, except to one-cell plants and animals,
and is non-addicting. It also apparently kills parasites because they have a
one cell egg stage in their reproductive cycle.
Older folks reportedly feel younger because their body energies are used for
other uses than constantly fighting disease. Digestion has also been
reportedly better. Medical research has shown that silver promotes more
rapid healing, with less scar tissue, even in the case of severe burns.
Successes have been reported in cases that previously have been given up by
established doctors. Colloidal silver is tasteless and won't sting even a
baby's eyes, and won't upset your stomach.
More Than 650 Diseases Helped?
Colloidal silver has been reported to kill 650 micro-organisms, many of
which are associated with human diseases. This does not automatically mean
that taking colloidal silver will "cure" diseases "caused" by these germs.
Colloidal silver only kills micro-organisms when they are in contact with it
for a sufficient period of time. The human body is a complex system which
may prevent high enough concentrations of colloidal silver from reaching the
"affected area".
The basic guideline that has been recommended for using colloidal silver is
that it usually "works" if you can get a high enough concentration to the
"affected area". Some will want to experiment with "higher amounts" (such as
8 or more ounces at a time) to find out what it takes to accomplish this. Do
not use colloidal silver if you are allergic to contact with silver metals,
or if you notice any digestive upset after use.
The following is a partial list of the more than 650 diseases that colloidal
silver has been reputed to be successful against: acne, AIDS (Reference 8),
allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, athlete's foot, bladder inflammation,
blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, burns, cancer (References 2, 4, 7),
candida, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, dermatitis, diabetes
(Reference 1), dysentery, eczema, fibrositis, gastritis, gonorrhea, hay
fever, herpes, impetigo, indigestion, keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus,
lymphangitis, Lyme disease, malaria, meningitis, neurasthenia, parasitic
infections: viral, fungal and bacterial pneumonia, pleurisy, prostate,
pruritus ani, psoriasis, purulent opthalmia, rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm,
scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth, and throat,
seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, skin cancer, staphylococcus and
streptococcus infections, stomach flu, syphilis, thyroid, tuberculosis,
tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, all forms of virus, warts, whooping cough,
yeast infection, stomach ulcer, canine parovirus and other veterinary uses,
and fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted silver on the
leaves and add to the soil.

"Use of Colloids in Health and Disease." Colloidal silver has proven
particularly effective in cases of intestinal troubles. Dr. Henry Crooks
found that "silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite
harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. Rather than in a chemical
compound, the silver in the colloidal state may be applied in a much more
concentrated form, with correspondingly better results. All virus, fungus,
bacterium, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and other pathogenic organisms are
killed in three or four minutes upon contact. There are no side effects
whatsoever from the highest concentrations."
Dr. Robert Becker, "The Body Electric," recognized a correlation between low
silver levels and sickness. He said the silver deficiency was responsible
for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr. Becker's experiments
conclude that silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any
side effects or damage to any part of the body. He also states that the
silver was doing something more than killing disease organisms. It was also
causing major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and
elderly patients noticed more rapid healing. He discovered that all cancer
cells change back to normal cells. All strains of pathogens resistant to
other antibiotics are killed by colloidal silver. Yet at that time he
couldn't find a silver supplement on the market.
