Colloidal Silver
Everything old is new again – Colloidal Silver for your health
Throughout history, man has used silver as a method of preventing spoilage and fighting infection. Today, the benefits of Colloidal Silver is just beginning to be discovered, or perhaps, rediscovered as science proves that it disables certain enzymes, needed by bacteria, viruses, yeasts and other fungi. Without these enzymes, those organisms cannot survive, and bacteria can’t build up an immunity to silver, the way they can antibiotics since the silver attacks their food source, essentially, starving them. Lab tests with Colloidal Silver have killed bacteria, viruses and fungi within minutes of contact. In fact, no microorganism ever tested has stayed alive for more than six minutes when exposed directly to colloidal silver.
Throughout the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, medicinal silver compounds flourished, in 1918, T.H. Anderson Wells reported in the Lancet that Liquid Colloidal Silver used intravenously caused no “irritation of the kidneys … no pigmentation of the skin.” As synthetically manufactured drugs arrived on the scene in the 1930s, the use of silver declined, giving way to modern antibiotics. Medicinal use of silver survived, however, in things like the use of dilute silver nitrate dropped in the eyes of newborns to prevent infection, and “Silvadene” burn salve. Silver socks are a recent development, reducing odor-causing bacteria, and promoting better health and hygiene, even preventing athlete’s foot.
Other modern uses of silver include silver water purification filters, electrical ionization units to sanitize pool water without using harsh chlorine, silver air filters and silver-infused bandages. One thing that led to considerable controversy and misunderstanding was the Blue Man, and others who developed the skin discoloration argyria after using a silver compound that many believed were colloidal silver. True Colloidal Silver does not come with the risks associate with silver proteins, salts and ionic silvers, which is what the “Blue Man” was actually making with his homemade system.
