Colloidal Silver
Sometimes called "Nature's Antibiotic"Antibiotics have people living longer today than ever before. Unfortunately, as quickly as modern science creates antibiotics, nature responds with super-strain microbes that resist them and that problem can lead to deadly consequences.
Paradoxically, nature also provides silver, which is a precious solution to the problem. The colloidal form of silver is known as "nature's effective antibiotic and disinfectant."
Colloidal Silver has been used topically and internally on people (from infants to seniors) and even pets. It may prove very helpful as an alternative to prescription drugs and antibiotics for fighting the following health problems: acne, allergies, athlete's foot, blastocystis hominous, burns, chronic diarrhea, colds, conjunctivitis, cuts, ear infections, influenza, emphysema, eye infections, fungal infections, Giardia lamblia, head lice, hepatitis B and C, herpes, laryngitis, lyme disease, osteomyelitis, psoriasis, ringworm, rosacea, shingles, sinus infections, skin infections, sores, throat infections, ulcerative colitis, urinary infections, warts, wounds, yeast infections (candida albicans), and more!
Some History:
Silver has been used as a remedy for centuries. Greek and Roman societies stored liquids in silver-lined containers to keep them fresh. American settlers traveling west would put a silver dollar in milk to delay its spoilage. Native American Indians added powdered silver to a newborn's first bath as protection against a harsh and stressful world. In 1834, the German obstetrician F. Crede administered silver nitrate to the eyes of newborn infants, virtually eliminating the incidence of disease which caused blindness. In the late 1800's Western scientists were able to prove what had been known in Eastern medicine for literally thousands of years. That is . . . that silver is a proven germ fighter! By the early 1900's the antibacterial colloidal silver became the choice of medical practitioners. It proved to be enormously effective against infectious organisms and safe when used in proper dosage. The use of silver as a medicine was widespread until World War II when antibiotics became the standard treatment for infections.What Colloidal Silver does:
Modern Colloidal Silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic, antiseptic, and antimicrobial solution. Various forms of silver have been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of health problems.Colloidal Silver provides the catalyst which disables the enzyme that all one-celled invaders use for their oxygen metabolism. In effect, Colloidal Silver 'strangles' over 650 disease-creating bacteria, fungi (including yeasts), viruses, and parasites by cutting off their oxygen supply. Because these micro-organisms are suffocated, rather than poisoned, resistant strains fail to develop (the germs cannot mutate and develop).
Colloidal Silver is of no harm to human enzymes or any part of the human body chemistry when used appropriately. It is reported to kill all disease-causing organisms, in six minutes or less, upon contact - even those that are pleomorphic. Sufficient amounts of this substance in your body is very useful for the immune system!
In Colloidal Silver, small clusters of silver atoms are electronically suspended in deionized, distilled water (see the definition of a colloid below). Many modern uses for silver as an antimicrobial agent exist. NASA has used a silver system to purify water on space shuttle missions. As an algaecide in swimming pools, silver is excellent because low concentrations (only two parts per million) are needed and it does not irritate a swimmer's eyes. Silver salts have been used to treat burn victims so that infection can be avoided. In fact, silver has been used in all major burn centers throughout the United States. Some cosmetic companies have used silver as a preservative in their products. UCLA medical labs tested it on some virus and found it effective.
The dictionary definition of a colloid is "a substance that - is in a state of division preventing passage through a semi-permeable membrane - consists of particles too small for resolution with an ordinary light microscope, and in suspension or solution, fails to settle out and diffracts a beam of light."
Basically, a true colloid of silver will stay suspended in a solution of water and not fall to the bottom or clump together. Therefore, the colloid of silver is small enough to be effectively used by the body to destroy invading bacteria and other microbes.
A typical colloidal silver particle is a microscopic 0.001 microns. Clinical observations have determined that the smaller the particle, the more antiseptic effect it has. Particle sizes of 0.001 microns and smaller are a necessary factor in choosing a quality Colloidal Silver product that is going to work.
Colloidal Silver Usage:
Liquid Colloidal Silver can normally be found in dark brown or blue glass bottles that contain two to four fluid ounces. The bottles will either have a pump sprayer or eyedropper for applying the doses. At times of need, the solution should be taken as suggested by the manufacturer. Colloidal Silver is completely odorless and the more potent formulas are a dark yellow color. It tastes just like distilled water and can be ingested or applied to the skin, in the eyes, nose, or ears, or any other body part that requires treatment.Reports indicate: It will not generate free radicals that damage cells or interfere with enzyme activity. It has no known reactions with other medications.
Conclusion
Colloidal Silver is truly an all-natural alternative to prescription antibiotics. It is non-toxic when used in proper amounts. Colloidal Silver is a good option in trying to strengthen the body's immune system and has been reported to help support the body in trying to eliminate infectious diseases of various types.
