Colloidal Silver
Colloidal Silver
More and more diseases are becoming resistant to the current antibiotics. With diseases like tuberculosis and pneumonia becoming all but untreatable with antibiotics, a safe, effective, and easy to administer alternative is available. Silver is one of the most effective antibiotic substances known. It appears to be effective against over 650 different disease organisms. Most antibiotics are only effective to about half dozen or so germs. Unlike most conventional antibiotics, germs have not been found to build a resistance to the action of silver.
Silver colloids were first commercialized at the turn of the century, and were popular through the mid 1930's. By then, they were replaced by antibiotics. Since silver colloids were already in use prior to the 1938 Federal regulation of foods and drugs, it is available today without prescription.
Colloids, are water dispersions of molecules, that are intermediate in size. The particles are electrically charged, to activate the germicidal activity of the silver, and allow the particles to remain suspended in a solution of de-ionized water. Many methods have been used to produce colloidal silver. The earliest preparations were made using the grind method. This required the use of stabilizers. These stabilizers interfered with the action of the silver. Progressive Labs Colloidal Silver is produced by an Electrocolloidal Process, which allows extremely fine silver particles, to be suspended in solution, by a tiny charge placed on the particles. This process, eliminates the need for chemicals or stabilizers, and produces a true colloid of silver.
Colloidal silver is tasteless, odorless, and non-stinging to sensitive tissue. It can be taken orally, or applied topically to cuts, scrapes, open sores, warts, acnes, eczema, and other skin irritations. It may be gargled, dropped into the eyes or ears, used vaginally, atomized or inhaled into the nose or lungs.
Medical tests indicate no known adverse effects from its use, and there has never been any recorded case of drug interaction with any medication. Colloidal silver has little effect on friendly bacteria. When taken orally, absorption takes place into the bloodstream before the silver reaches the small or large intestine. However, some of the silver particles will adhere to the mucus and epithelia of the intestinal lining. This makes silver a good substance for dealing with intestinal infections by either bacteria or fungi. When using silver for these infections, it is recommended that frequent dosage is administered.
The action of colloidal silver is very simple. It acts, by disabling an enzyme, that effects the organisms ability to absorb nutrients through its cell wall. Silver is toxic to fungi, bacteria, protozoa, parasites, and many viruses. It will kill Streptococcus, Pyogenes, Staphylococcus Aureus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Salmonella Typhi, as well as Candida Albicans, Candida Globata, as well as many others.
The re-introduction of silver as an anti-biotic began in the 1970's. The late Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery, was studying the use of better antibiotics for burn victims. Dr Moyer collaborated with Dr. Harry Margraf, chief biochemist. They were looking for an antiseptic strong enough, yet safe to use over large parts of the body.
Dr. Margraf reviewed 22 antiseptic compounds, and found drawbacks with all of them. The most popular antiseptics, can only be safely used over small areas of the body. Furthermore, disease organisms can become resistant, causing a dangerous super-infection. Bacteria like Pseudomonas acruginose, which is the biggest killer in burn cases, are rapidly becoming resistant to the available antibiotics. Dr. Margraf found many references to silver in the literature. He used a dilute, (.5%), silver nitrate solution, that killed bacteria, and allowed the wounds to heal, without allowing resistant strains of bacteria to form.
Silver nitrate is not an ideal form. It disturbs the balance of body salts, needing to halt treatment from time to time. It also stains the tissue with a bluish-green tinge. This is a condition known has Argyria. However, medical reports from the turn of the century demonstrate, that properly prepared colloid of silver, was the only form of silver that would not be deposited under the skin, or cause an imbalance of body salts.
What does this all mean to the doctor and patient? Now you can offer your patients a safe, effective, non-toxic antiseptic. Colloidal Silver can be used for: sore throats, ear infections, sinus infections, cuts and burns, vaginal infections, eye infections, and intestinal infections
With Colloidal Silver your patients can find relief from nasty winter colds, and sore throats, without developing the side effects from antibiotics, such as: stomach aches, and nausea, and more importantly, without developing resistance to the bacteria that is infecting them.
Colloidal silver can be used along with herbs, homeopathics, or vitamins and minerals to fight any infection. I am sure that you will find colloidal silver effective, safe, and easy to use.
