Colloidal Silver
Colloidal Silver might just be a wonderful thing and here's why: Prokaryotic (Bacterial Cells) and viruses cannot live in it's presence. That means that whether you have a cold caused by a virus or a bacterial infection, colloidal silver could be used on it. Think about it, if anything is caused by bacteria or viruses, it could certainly be influenced by the use of colloidal silver. It can also act as a topical treatment to prevent infections. Consult your physician before attempting to self treat. These pages are for information purposes only. Colloidal Silver is somewhat controversial. It seems to be agreed that Colloidal Silver is an effective topical antibacterial agent. It also seems to have value when taken internally, but many doctors and scientists worry about the possible long term affects of taking colloidal silver internally. If too high a concentration builds up in the body, it can cause the skin to change color. Others site the problems of heavy metal buildup toxicity in the body as well. You can read more about it at this excellent online resource for colloidal silver information. It should be noted that the problems with colloidal silver, such as the skin turning colors came after heavy use for an extended period of time. The author of "The Body Electric" did some research on silver and he found it to be a great treatment for burns, that it did not upset the intestinal environment the way that convention antibiotics do and he saw it as an eliminator of pathogens. Pathogens are those pesky bacteria and viruses that seem to cause so much trouble. Silver is used in the treatment of burns today. Colloidal silver will deactivate a pathogens ability to use oxygen, thereby suffocating the pathogen to death. Germs are not able to mutate to beat silver - at least not so far :). So the super strains of bacteria that have shown up in recent times are not able to defeat silver. I have collected some book resources on colloidal silver for your reference here: Colloidal Silver The Natural Alternative to Antibiotics The Wonders of Colloidal Silver Colloidal Silver : Antibiotic Superhero Silver Colloids - Do They Work? Colloidal Silver : Making the Safest and... Silver and Other Colloidal Minerals This may be important: There are some out there that claim the colloidal silver available on the market today is not in a high enough concentration to be effective. Some recommend 500PPM colloidal solutions. You can find 500 PPM solutions in health stores occasionally. There is not enough research out there to say for sure that you need 500ppm. But it doesn't seem that unreasonable either. Colloidal silver is available without a prescription, which could be telling about why there isn't more research available. It's just not profitable for the people who do the most medical research, pharmaceutical companies. There would be no financial motivation for others either, since its use cannot be charged for either. In other words, there is no way to corner the market on colloidal silver. You would be right to lament the fact that not enough research has been done, to tell us more about this incredible supplement. But you can find great information nevertheless. And it's not that research has never been done. There is a large body of research that supports the use of it, however, I'm not sure how much of that has been through peer review. It's a shame that doctors and scientists don't do more work with this. But it may not be profitable for them. If everyone knew you could take colloidal silver to kill pathogens, no one would need a prescription. Again, some doctors and scientists are concerned about toxicity levels with colloidal silver. If you have any questions about it, it might be a good idea to consult with your physician. See what she says about it. Here are two online sources for colloidal silver (not 500ppm). You might want to check with your local health food store to see what they have. I am not that fond of these two options. Source 1 Source 2 I would personally use it if I were to get an illness, but the thing is, I haven't been sick in years. :) But that is me only.
