Colloidal Silver
An Effective Alternative to Ineffective Antibiotics
Colloidal silver is a solution of silver in distilled
water. That's it – only two ingredients but very potent against
bacteria.
Because silver is an organic element, not a
biological compound, germs are unable to evolve immunity to it. While all the
hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical labs in the world have run out of options
for combating CC5 MRSA, colloidal silver works as well today as it ever has to
destroy bacteria and promote health naturally.
The history of colloidal silver for medicinal
and bactericidal purposes is as compelling as it is fascinating:
- The first report appeared in Egypt around 3500
BC, indicating silver was used as a preservative by the Ancient Greeks and Romans
by placing liquids in silver jars. Aristotle apparently told Alexander the Great
(335 BC) to store water in silver vessels and to boil it before use when he
transported water into battle.
- In the old west, American settlers were seen
placing silver dollars in milk as a preservative. Silver plates, utensils, goblets
and pans were also used in cooking and dining, because of silver's antiseptic
effects. Yet it wasn't until the late 1800s that Western scientists began
discovering what Eastern medicine had known for thousands of years: Silver is an
effective germ fighter.
- According to a report published by the U.S.
National Library of Medicine,
National Institutes of Health, it was J. Ravelin in 1869 who first discovered
the incredibly small amount of silver and other derivatives it took to produce an
antimicrobial effect.
- In 1881, the surgeon B.C. Crede recommended
the use of silver in the prevention of eye infections in children. Using a drop of
1% silver nitrate in each eye, Crede's use of silver virtually eliminated the
incidence of disease-causing blindness in newborn babies. Nearly 16 years later,
Crede also used a colloidal silver solution for the treatment of skin infections
and as a wound antiseptic.
- Additional studies conducted during this time
included metal preparations made from electrolytic or chemical reduction. These
preparations were shown to be lethal to pathogenic bacteria, while remaining
nontoxic to the host. At the same time, E.A. von Behring used a 1:4,000
concentrate of silver nitrate to destroy typhoid bacilli within two hours
and a 1:10,000 solution to kill anthrax spores in 48 hours.
MRSA is, of course, just one of many killer
infections at large. We are facing the reemergence of infectious
diseases once thought to be all but eradicated, like tuberculosis and malaria.
Meanwhile we are now facing the emergence of new, more powerful strains of disease
such as Hantavirus, Ebola, Legionnaire's disease and the deadly strain of E. coli,
O157:H7.
Even cases of influenza, diarrhea, and food
poisoning are rising due to attacks by bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and
parasites. We also have rising levels of infection brought on by the introduction
of Third World diseases by globetrotting "Typhoid Marys" and by the flood of
immigrants, especially illegal immigrants.
Colloidal silver is thought to be effective
against many if not all of the microorganisms that cause these diseases.
