Colloidal Silver Helps Boost Immunity And Fights Infections

Super-germs mutate so quickly that antibiotics are virtually useless against them: As soon as an effective one is created, the germ mutates, and the antibiotic becomes obsolete. But theres no need to feel defenceless because these mutating germs have finally met their match. And it's been right under our noses all along. It's colloidal silver.

SARS. Avian flu. MRSA. These and other big-time bugs called super-germs' are making headlines almost on a daily basis. People are scared, and rightly so. Super-germs mutate so quickly that antibiotics are virtually useless against them: As soon as an effective one is created, the germ mutates, and the antibiotic becomes obsolete.

But theres no need to feel defenceless because these mutating germs have finally met their match. And it's been right under our noses all along.

It's colloidal silver.

Its not only super-germs that its effective against, it also fights bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and fungal infections like Candida. No matter how much a germ mutates, it cant change enough to escape the damaging effects of colloidal silver. And in the process, the silver doesn't harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in the intestine the way antibiotics and other medications do.

Colloidal Silver: Excels where antibiotics have failed

Colloidal silver was a mainstay treatment for conventional doctors until penicillin and other patented antibiotics were introduced that initially appeared to be wonder drugs. Since silver preparations were unpatentable, they predictably fell into disuse.

Now, because antibiotics have started to lose their effectiveness silver is gradually being used again more and more. Its not hard to see why, particularly as bacteria do not become resistant to silver no matter how long the preparation is used.

Although researchers have known of silvers germ-fighting effects for decades, it wasn't until 2000 that scientists finally understood why it worked so well. But first, it's important to understand antibiotics' Achilles' heel. Although germs have three vulnerable targets, any single antibiotic can attack only one of them at a time: the germ's outer membrane, its internal components, or its delicate gene pool. When a germ becomes resistant to an antibiotic, it has learned how to fortify the specific target that the antibiotic attacks. You'd have to take several antibiotics to attack all of the germ's targets simultaneously.

But that sets the stage for further problems. Taking multiple antibiotics just increases the odds of wiping out enough friendly bacteria to allow an infection by various fungi (including Candida). And in place of the friendly bacteria, 'antibiotic-resistant' bacteria set up camp.

Antibiotics obviously don't have what it takes to nip these super-bugs in the bud. But that's where colloidal silver comes in. Silver attacks all three of the germ's vulnerable targets at once. First, the silver ions easily rupture a germ's outer membrane when present in the right amounts, causing the germ's vital internal components to be exposed in the bloodstream to our white blood cells, which swiftly launch an attack.

The silver ions then easily attack the germ's third vulnerable target: its delicate gene pool. Silver ions have the ability to reach into the nucleus of the germ, where its gene pool is located. Once they combine with the genes, the genes become paralyzed, and the germ cannot replicate itself.

Colloidal Silver: Gearing up for a war on viruses

But silver doesn't stop at fighting bacteria as mentioned earlier it also targets fungal infections, such as athlete's foot and Candida, as well as viruses, such as the flu, upper respiratory infections, strep throat and even HIV.

Take the flu, for example. The flu is one of the most common viruses that we face every year. But it's hard to stay ahead of it because new strains are always developing that are different from the ones that vaccines have been developed to treat. Many flu vaccines are a classic example of 'fighting the last war', instead of the present one. Each year it becomes increasingly more clear that what we really need is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent. Which brings us once again to colloidal silver.

A number of emerging medical studies confirm the antiviral properties of silver ions both in the laboratory and in real human studies against some of the most formidable viral organisms, including HIV and herpes.

Beginning in the 1970s, several independent researchers found that silver ions easily destroy Candida and other fungi. But it wasn't until a pilot study during the mid-1990s that included human patients suffering from terminal AIDS that medical researchers established solid evidence showing just how effective silver ions can be in the fight against Candida and HIV.

In this study, nine individuals who were near death were divided into two subgroups. One group suffered from HIV and a terrible Candida infection. The other group suffered from both HIV and an extreme form of malnutrition (known as Wasting Syndrome). The researchers found that in both groups the colloidal silver was capable of killing pathogens and purging the bloodstream of germ defenses in order to restore the immune system.

Colloidal Silver: What to take for best results

If you feel an infection coming on, take 2 teaspoons per day (or as otherwise stated on the products label) for no more than 10 days at a time. The sooner you start taking it in the course of an infection, the better its chances of working quickly. You can use the silver treatment while taking other anti-infection and immune-boosting agents, such as vitamin C and Echinacea, but you shouldn't take them at the same time because the silver absorbs best on an empty stomach.

Although these tiny quantities of silver are very safe for humans, you should still stop the treatment once the infection is gone. Long-term use of very large doses of silver can cause a bluish discolouration of the skin called argyria.

Occasionally, colloidal silver can be so effective that the immune system can't handle the rapid dying off of microorganisms. This excess die-off can produce symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, sweating, nausea, itching, rash and flu-like symptoms without a fever. However, you should bear in mind that these symptoms are actually an indication that the treatment is working. If you experience a die-off reaction, stop taking the treatment for 24 to 48 hours and then resume at a lower dose.

I have tried New Silver Solution for a few months and I still had very bad chest infection, I had to eventually settle for antibioctics and steroids.

In my native country of South Africa, my grandmother use to swear by the power of silver. She lived to be almost 100 and NEVER went to the doctors - not even we she became old, fragile and blind... she gave birth to 7 children (all survived) naturally at home without the help of doctors or nurses. The only help was the lady we worked in the house for her.

Hi, Ive suffered with back to back chest infections and throat! for over 30 years. What can Colloidal Silver do for me? It says it is good for 'Upper Restportary Infections'. Does that mean it is no use for low in the lungs infections? regards sharon

I have a bad sinus infection how much is a safe dose per day? can you have a big dose say 20ml in the morn and 2oml at night?

Hi!!, I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Sydrome, Lyme Disease, messed up Thyroid and multiple sensitivites to chemicals etc...I've been taking 'colloidal Silver' 10mls every morning and night, and when I come home after being out 5-10mls..I've been doing this for the past 3 years as has my 72yr old mother, and we havent got a flu or cold in all that time..even though we've been exposed to many sick people...if we start feeling xtra sick, we take xtra silver...we also use 'dr schuessler cell salts' for things like restless legs, insomnia etc....due to being given antibotics when i was getting endless colds and flu's, they put me over and i got chronic fatigue syndrome...i now cant take gp antibotics..so silver is all i can take...before i started taking silver regulary..i had three strep throats in 6 months and took silver every time..and within days, my throat was fine...if i get a sore throat due to my health..i spray silver on my throat and it helps the pain and coughing etc..its fantastic..
