Can Colloidal Silver Help Re-Mineralize Damaged Tooth Enamel?

At least one man says colloidal silver is not only healing his tooth infection, but re-mineralizing the damaged tooth enamel, as well.

His experience, described below, coincides nicely with the work of Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., who found that electrically generated silver ions have the power to trigger bone growth and re-mineralization…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...

Here's an interesting testimonial on colloidal silver and the re-mineralization of decayed tooth enamel, which I found on a tooth decay website:

“Two and a half weeks ago I noticed two cavities high up in my front teeth. Both were brown and unsightly, and I was kicking myself for not noticing them before and brushing my teeth more carefully. The gums had also receded above them.

One of the cavities was particularly deep and exceptionally sensitive to the sharp end of a pair of scissors I several times placed against it.

As I have had amazing success in the past curing all kinds of problems with colloidal silver, I searched on Google to see whether there was a natural way of curing my two cavities, and I learned for the first time that teeth could naturally re-mineralize.

I decided to brush my teeth regularly throughout the day, particularly after meals and taking special care to spray the damaged areas with colloidal silver.

I was not particularly hopeful, but I dreaded going to the dentist. The last time I went was 24 years ago for a cavity-fill high up on another front tooth. The drilling was excruciatingly painful at the time and the tooth far more sensitive to pressure after the operation than before.

Well, after a week I started noticing some tiny signs of whiteness against the brown. I thought that maybe I simply hadn't noticed it before.

Now, another week on, I can clearly see new white bone growing in both cavities.

I'm simply amazed. Every day I notice a small improvement. At this rapid rate, I guess both my teeth could fully recover in a month's time, even though I'm 52.

I thank God for what I am still experiencing as a kind of miracle, especially given the intensive dental propaganda regarding the need to drill and fill.

If my experience is at all typical, then I can only say: Woe to you dentists who deliberately conceal from your clients the naturally curative properties of human teeth once properly cared for.

And blessed indeed are those persecuted for attempting to get the truth out!"

-- Timothy D., Surrey, UK

I find the above testimonial fascinating, because it was the work of Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD back in the 1970's that first alerted the world to the idea that electrically generated silver ions can be used not just to heal bone and tissue infections…

…but also to stimulate the re-growth and re-mineralization of injured bone that had otherwise refused to heal.

If silver can trigger re-mineralization of bone, would that also apply also to re-mineralization of tooth enamel? The idea is intriguing!

Let’s take a look at some of the evidence for silver’s ability to trigger re-mineralization of bone and heal bone non-unions:

Healing Bone Non-Unions With Silver

In one case, Dr. Becker was astonished when he attempted to use electrically generated silver ions to heal the infection in a patient’s horrifically infected leg bone and tissue wound.

He had expected the infected bone to recede as the microbes were killed by the electrically generated silver ions.

Instead, he discovered that not only were all of the pathogens killed, but new tissue and new bone began to grow in, creating a strong union in the bone where previously there had been none.

As Dr. Becker later recounted:

“...I debrided the wound, removing the dead tissue and all grossly infected or dead bone.

There wasn’t much left afterward. It was an enormous excavation running almost from his knee to his ankle.

In the operating room we soaked a big piece of silver nylon in saline solution and laid it over the wound...wrapped the leg, and connected the battery unit.

By the end of the week...all of our bacterial cultures were sterile.”

Dr. Becker continued:

“The soft healing tissue, called granulation tissue, was spreading out and covering the bone.

In two weeks, the whole base of the wound, which had over eight square inches of raw bone, was covered by this friendly pink carpet.

The skin was beginning to grow in too, so we could forget about the grafts we thought we’d need to do…

…I decided to take an X-ray to see how much bone he’d lost…I could hardly believe the picture. There was clearly some bone re-growth!

I removed the cast, felt the leg, and found that the pieces were all stuck together.

The patient watched, and when I was done he lifted his leg into the air triumphantly. I’d never so much enjoyed being wrong.”

More Studies By Dr. Becker Demonstrate Bone Healing By Silver Ions

This success in healing a bone non-union led Dr. Becker to do numerous studies on the healing and regenerative properties of electrically generated silver ions.

In his 1978 clinical study titled, "Treatment of Orthopaedic Infections With Electrically Generated Silver Ions," which was published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery

…Dr. Becker demonstrated once again that silver not only healed osteomyelitis (i.e., a serious bone infection), but also re-mineralized and healed the broken, damaged bone to boot!

Here’s an excerpt from Dr. Becker’s study:

“The present study reports on clinical experience using electrically generated silver ions as adjunctive treatment in the management of chronic osteomyelitis…

…wound care (usually provided by the patient) resulted in control of the infection in twelve of the fifteen treatment attempts and in healing of the non-union after follow-up ranging from three to thirty-six months.

In this small series, the silver ions seemed to have been an effective local antibacterial agent with advantages over other antibiotics that included:

Activity against all of the bacterial types encountered in these patients, negligible toxic effect on local tissues, and penetration of poorly vascularized tissue to the distance believed to be about one centimeter.

The rapid subsidence of the infection once treatment with silver ions was initiated convinced us that the silver iontophoresis had had a beneficial antibacterial effect.

An added benefit, which was unexpected, was the deposition of substantial amounts of new bone produced during treatment with the silver-nylon anode."

(Reprinted with permission from the Expert Quotes on Colloidal Silver page at TheSilverEdge.com)

Becker went on to use electrically generated silver to re-grow bone in both human and animal models.

In a later study titled “Effects of Electrically Generated Silver Ions on Human Cells and Wound Healing,” which was published in the journal Electro- and Magnetobiology, Dr. Becker concluded:

Healing rates in these wounds are significantly accelerated and are accompanied by enhanced healing of the bone, soft tissue, nerve, and skin, with replacement of missing tissues by histologically normal tissues.

The responsible agent for these cellular effects is believed to be the electrically generated silver ion."

(Reprinted with permission from the Expert Quotes on Colloidal Silver page at TheSilverEdge.com)

In another study, conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, State University of New York, and titled “Effects of Electrically Generated Silver Ions on Human Cells and Wound Healing,” Dr. Becker wrote of his treatments of infected human bone and tissue:

“A profuse, sterile exudates began to appear in the wound during the second and fourth day of treatment.

Shortly thereafter it became evident that an enhancement of wound healing was occurring beyond that which could be attributed to infection control.

Open cavities began to fill with abundant, healthy granulation tissue, producing rapid coverage of exposed bone surfaces.

This was followed by rapid ingrowth of full thickness, innervated skin and healing of bony non-unions.” [Italics mine – ED]

(Reprinted with permission from the Expert Quotes on Colloidal Silver page at TheSilverEdge.com)

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that there is now some fresh anecdotal evidence that silver ions can trigger the re-mineralization of tooth enamel.

And this anecdotal evidence coincides nicely with significant older clinical evidence for the idea that electrically generated silver ions can trigger re-growth or re-mineralization of bone!

Since there are no clinical studies demonstrating how healing tooth enamel with colloidal silver might work, or how much colloidal silver it might take to achieve it…

…it is unfortunately another one of those situations in which you’ll just have to experiment for yourself to see if it works for you.

In Dr. Becker’s clinical work, for example, the silver ions were generated directly into the wound site using tiny micro-amp currents of electricity. This was done in a laboratory environment by skilled professionals.

So it doesn’t really apply to healing tooth enamel with colloidal silver. It merely confirms that there is something about electrically generated silver ions that stimulate healing and re-mineralization in bones.

But if Timothy D’s testimonial at the beginning of this article is any indication, ionic colloidal silver exposed directly to tooth enamel may well indeed trigger a similar bone re-growth process such as the one Dr. Becker first discovered back in the 1970’s.

My Own Experience

This brings to mind a painful molar I had many years ago. The dentist had x-rayed it, and told me it had a “hairline crack” running through it, and was going to need a root canal due to infection.

Dreading the root canal, I went home and started using colloidal silver daily, holding it over the tooth for seven to 10 minutes at a time, as many as three or four times a day.

I went back to that same dentist about a month later, and had him re-examine the tooth. I told him the pain was completely gone.

He took x-rays again, and began to apologize profusely for having recommended a root canal. He said the tooth absolutely did not need one.

Many years later I went to another dentist who carefully examined all of my teeth. I asked about the hairline crack in that molar. “There’s no evidence of a hairline crack in that molar,” she replied.

At the time, I assumed my previous dentist had simply been mistaken. After all, I’d never seen any information whatsoever about colloidal silver re-mineralizing tooth enamel.

But now, after reading about Timothy D.’s experience, and linking it mentally to Dr. Becker’s work in healing bone non-unions with electrically generated silver ions…

…I have to wonder whether or not that hairline crack all of those years ago had been a figment of my dentist’s imagination, or if indeed the enamel had been re-mineralized and healed by the colloidal silver.

Anyone else achieving success with this idea of using colloidal silver to trigger re-mineralization of tooth enamel, please feel free to post about your experiences on the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community.

Gloom in the Trend Toward Silver-Based Antimicrobial Products?

Only a few years back, the trend was in full swing toward adding safe, natural silver to consumer products in an effort to staunch the growing spread of infectious microorganisms.

But now, radical environmentalists have thrown a monkey wrench into the machinery, and fewer and fewer antimicrobial silver-based consumer products are actually coming to market. What happened? Here’s the story…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...

Back in May 1999 I wrote an article titled Big Business Moves Into Silver-Based Products In a BIG Way

…which documented the new trend toward incorporating antimicrobial silver into common household products such as toothbrushes, combs, brushes, computer keyboards, clothing…

…phone handles and mouthpieces, kitchen cutting boards and many other “touch surfaces”, in an effort to provide consumers with greater protection against the spread of infectious microorganisms.

That newsletter mailed over one million pieces and became one of the most popular articles I’ve ever written, being widely distributed around the globe, and in many ways helping boost consumer interest in silver-based products.

In Steps the Radical Environmentalists

Since that time, a coalition of radical environmentalist groups have sued the Environmental Protection Agency and forced them to adopt new policies requiring anyone using silver in consumer products for antimicrobial purposes to register with the EPA –

-- and in some cases undergo expensive testing to demonstrate that the silver won't be able to leach out into the environment and cause harm.

These are of course excessively costly requirements that have caused many companies to simply withdraw their silver-impregnated, silver-coated or silver-lined products from the market.

Worse yet, in an effort to set a strict example, the EPA fined a company called IOGEAR a whopping $208,000.00 for failing to properly register their silver-impregnated computer mouse as a “pesticide” (unbelievable, I know)…

…and then embarked on a public relations campaign announcing their exorbitant fine through every media outlet that would carry the story.

This of course, achieved its intended purpose of putting an immediate halt to the plans of many companies to add silver-based protection against infectious microbes to their product lines.

Worthless Loophole

There’s a small but utterly worthless loophole in the EPA regulations, however. If a company doesn't make antimicrobial claims for its product, it can still use the silver in its product, and it doesn’t have to register the product with the EPA.

Does that sound familiar to you?

It’s basically the same “loophole” in the FDA’s 1999 “Final Ruling” against colloidal silver, which states that you can still sell colloidal silver, as long as you don’t label it, or advertise it, for its antimicrobial benefits!

In short, this so-called “loophole” against truth-telling is what gives the regulators the ability to step in and shut a company down, or pull the plug on their silver-based product…

…if the company so much as dares tell the public the well-known facts regarding the myriad protective benefits of antimicrobial silver!

So, what's the use of adding pure silver to a consumer product, if you can't advertise its infection-fighting benefits?

After all, adding silver to a consumer product in order to give buyers added protection against the spread of infectious microorganisms is a significant added expense. (Have you seen the price of silver lately?)

And if manufacturers cannot tell consumers why the added silver is beneficial, there is simply no benefit to the manufacturer to undertake that added expense.

This so-called “loophole” (which is in reality a regulatory restriction) has contributed to the dramatic slowdown in the once growing trend of utilizing safe, natural antimicrobial silver in consumer goods as a means of helping halt the spread of infectious microorganisms –

-- which, of course, is exactly what the radical environmentalists wanted in the first place!

Amazing, isn’t it?

And now the environmentalists are screaming they ultimately want this “loophole” closed, too, and all silver-based products pulled from the market until they can be proven to be “environmentally safe.”

The Irony: The Environment Will Be Worse Off, Not Better

Here’s the irony of the situation:

It’s widely acknowledged even among environmentalists that there’s a growing need for consumer products with antimicrobial properties.

After all, infectious disease is spreading faster than ever, and more and more pathogens are becoming resistant to antibiotic drugs.

Halting the spread of these pathogens by adding antimicrobial qualities to “contact surface” products such as computer keyboards, phone handles and mouthpieces, kitchen cutting boards and more is necessary.

And companies that want to produce such products due to widespread consumer demand are now turning to artificial chemical substances instead of silver –

-- chemical substances that far more likely to cause harm to the environment over time than silver ever will. After all, silver comes from the environment in the first place.

Is it the law of unintended consequences at work again, proving that just about every time do-gooders get involved they actually make things worse?

Or are the environmentalists really working for the dark side?

It’s interesting to me that there hasn’t been a peep out of these groups about hyper-regulating the artificial chemical antimicrobial substances now being used as a substitute for silver by some manufacturers.

Nope. Their gripe is solely with silver. It has ZERO to do with the environment.

Which makes you wonder what their ulterior motive for wanting to remove safe, natural antimicrobial silver from the marketplace is, in the first place.

The Fight Continues

Organizations like the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group continue to try to work hand-in-hand with the EPA in order to demonstrate why the EPA needs to take a fairer and more balanced stance on the use of silver in commercial products.

But the radical environmentalists continue to pressure the EPA to close the one remaining “loophole” allowing silver to be used in consumer products.

And they’re demanding the EPA take all silver-based products off the market, until they can be proven “safe” for the environment –

-- a task that would require every manufacturer wishing to use silver in their products to spend hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of dollars on environmental impact tests that benefit…

…(drum roll, please)…

…the EPA and the various environmental organizations whose members would run such costly testing facilities.

Meanwhile, the radical environmental groups continue to pump out hyperbolic position paper after position paper, and tout junk science study after study purporting to demonstrate silver’s inherent “environmental toxicity.”

And frankly, their efforts are dwarfing the efforts of the pro-silver camp to bring some semblance of balance and sanity to the picture.

The pro-silver camp has simply never understood the win-at-all-costs mindset of their radical environmentalist opponents.

And as a result of this strategic blunder, their efforts to use a rational, informational approach to educating the EPA about the benefits of antimicrobial silver in consumer products…

… is being buried under the growing din of the “sky is falling” shouts of the radical environmentalists.

Good News?

The good news is that the radical environmental groups are now doing what they always end up doing, which is resorting to absurdly hyperbolic claims –

-- such as stating (with straight faces, mind you) that the use of silver in commercial products is “causing global warming” and “killing the planet.”

Yet in spite of the unbelievably unhinged nature of the environmentalist campaign against silver, the EPA appears to be listening intently to their absurd claims.

(Surprised? Have you ever known a government bureaucracy to turn down a proposed expansion of their power and authority, regardless of how needless it may be, or how ruinous to business and industry?)

The EPA continues to hold periodic hearings on the matter. And the pro-silver and anti-silver factions continue to attend those hearings and state their cases.

The pro-silver faction, such as the aforementioned Silver Nanotechnology Working Group, continue to take a rational, balanced and information-based stance…

…while the radical environmentalists continue to spew out hyperbolic position papers and press releases (which are always picked up by the media)…

…making the usual undocumented claims against silver and exaggerating the findings of environmentalist researchers.

Sadly, the General Public Are the Only Losers

Only time will tell what’s to come next, and how this will all end.

Even now, the EPA is considering new regulations and requirements for manufacturers of products containing antimicrobial silver. (I’ll have more on that in the next issue of this ezine.)

In the meantime, the public is being deprived of the infection-fighting protection offered by silver-based products. This, at a time in history when infectious illness and disease are running rampant --

-- common pathogens are mutating into deadly super-pathogens such as MRSA --

-- antibiotic drugs are losing their effectiveness against these pathogens…little babies and old ladies alike are coming down with these deadly infections --

-- and the food supply is becoming contaminated with these deadly pathogens even as environmental groups fight to keep silver from being used in food processing facilities.

What can you say, but thank you, environmentalists, for your caring and helpful ways!

What You Can Do…

Of you haven’t done so already, one vitally important thing you can do in order to protect yourself and your family is become an owner of the means of colloidal silver production.

As I stated over a decade ago in my original article on the growing uses of silver as an antimicrobial agent in commercial products:

By purchasing an inexpensive Micro-Particle Home Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you can produce your own safe, pure, high-quality colloidal silver any time you need it –

-- quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home – -- for about thirty six cents a quart or less!

(At that price, you can literally afford to bathe in it. Just add a quart or two to your bath water. Indeed, many people with chronic skin conditions do just that, and to great effect!)

You can also spray colloidal silver onto kitchen counter tops to kill germs, mold, mildew and other microbes…soak your store-bought fruits and vegetables in it to eradicate potentially harmful bacteria and fungus from the food surfaces…

…clean and decontaminate faucets, door knobs, and other contact surfaces such as your kitchen cutting board or that filthy blade on your kitchen can opener…

…add a couple of ounces to your daily laundry as a natural antiseptic agent that will keep clothes, bath towels, dish rags, and other fabrics fresh and germ-free for weeks on end…

…soak your toothbrush in it to prevent microbial contamination …spray it in your garden to prevent fungal and bacterial growth…spray it around sinks, bathtubs and other surfaces to stop mold and mildew in its tracks…

…spray it topically onto cuts and burns for prevention of infection and to stimulate rapid wound healing…spray it on your hair to stop itching and dandruff almost instantly…

…You can even add it to your pet's water bowl to resolve internal infections and help prevent illness…add a little to your aquarium tank to prevent fungal "ick" and other tropical fish infections…

…put a drop or two into your ears to knock out a pesky earache without having to use prescription antibiotics...gargle with it to eradicate sore throats…put it into a spray atomizer and sniff it up your nose to eliminate sinus infections…

…add a drop or two into your eyes to stop Pink Eye or styes in a single afternoon…and so many, many more astonishing healing, infection-fighting and disease-preventing benefits you'll ask yourself why you've never tried it before!

And, of course, you can safely use colloidal silver internally to stop colds and flu in their tracks…alleviate intestinal infections…stop urinary tract infections…cure upper respiratory infections…wipe out infection-based prostate problems…and much, much more!

10 Million Colloidal Silver Users Can't Be Wrong!

An estimated ten million Americans now use colloidal silver regularly.

But why pay $29 or $39 an ounce at your local health food store for a tiny four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver, when you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for only about thirty six cents per quart.

The choice is up to you. Eventually, the medical bureaucrats will ban colloidal silver completely at the behest of big business and the drug industry, neither of which want the competition from such a safe, inexpensive infection-fighting substance.

But as we have emphasized over and over again for the past five years, once you have the means of colloidal silver production in your own hands, they can't take it away from you.

With a safe, simple, home colloidal silver generator you can produce colloidal silver for the rest of your life, for only pennies.

You'll literally be able to afford to give it away to sick relatives and friends…gargle with it to stop a sore throat in its tracks...

…swish it around in your mouth to eliminate bacterial plaque on teeth and gums...drink a few ounces daily to resolve intestinal infections or cure food poisoning...

…knock out upper respiratory infections such as colds and the flu...eliminate urinary tract infections...beat candida yeast infections with ease...and much more!

Cutting edge doctors have demonstrated that when used internally it even works on deep-seated infections that, left untreated, can result in chronic degenerative diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Parkinson's disease, cancer, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and many other serious conditions!

As Dr. Joseph Weissman, M.D., board certified immunologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California Medical School has written:

"Today, many antibiotics are losing the battle with germs.

Fortunately, the best germ killer, which was discovered over 2,000 years ago, is finally getting the proper attention from medical science natural silver.

I sincerely recommend that everyone have electrically generated silver in their home as an antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agent."

So if you haven’t done so already, be sure to look into getting
a high-quality home colloidal silver generator for your family.

You’ll be astonished at all of the infection-fighting and disease-preventing benefits you’ll be able to take full advantage of, once you own the means of colloidal silver production.

Stay Tuned…

In my next article, I’ll show you what you can do in order to help protect colloidal silver from the environmental regulators, as they turn up the heat on products containing silver nanoparticles.

Meanwhile, I remain…

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible use of colloidal silver,

Radical Environmentalists Tell EPA: “Regulate Silver or It Will Create More Antibiotic-Resistant Pathogens”!

Yes, the anti-silver environmentalists are resorting to “big lie” scare tactics by claiming safe, natural antimicrobial silver is a cause of antibiotic-resistant bacteria…

…when in reality the exact opposite is true: Silver is our last line of defense against the growing hordes of dangerous antibiotic-resistant pathogens!

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...

Well, the radical environmentalists are at it again.

Not only are they still claiming that antimicrobial nano-silver is a "risk to the environment"…

…but now they say the EPA must more stringently regulate the use of nano-silver in commercial products or it will "lead to the development of dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria."

Here’s what the environmental group Friends of the Earth said in a recent email to their members:

“Nano-silver is used as a powerful ‘last resort’ bacteria killer by medical professionals, but its use in everyday products may jeopardize its effectiveness and contribute to the development of dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”

The group then goes on to call for its membership to contact the EPA and insist the agency regulate the use of silver in commercial products!

Amazing, isn't it?

It’s Big Pharma's antibiotic drugs that have led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Not safe, natural silver!

But there is NO call from the radical environmentalists for the EPA to regulate pharmaceutical drugs as an environmental hazard –

-- even though, according to an Associated Press (AP) report, numerous pharmaceutical drugs have been found in the drinking water supplies of 51 million Americans!

What’s more, the AP report also revealed that:

“Pharmaceutical makers typically are excused from having to submit an environmental review for new products, and the FDA has never rejected a drug application based on potential environmental impact.” (Emphasis mine.)

In short, Big Pharma can produce hundreds of billions of dollars a year worth of prescription pharmaceutical drugs…

…and in spite of the fact that millions of pounds of these drugs annually end up polluting the environment, including our drinking water supply…

…the environmental groups remain silent. There is not a single call to regulate Big Pharma’s drugs as environmental pollutants.

These radical environmentalists only want to regulate the natural substance -- pure silver -- that actually kills the antibiotic-resistant pathogens created by the overuse of antibiotic drugs!

Now why would that be?

Could it be that in reality they are doing the work of Big Pharma, from whose foundations it’s been reported they've been taking hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars worth of donations for years?

I'll write some more on the issue of the radical environmentalists and their anti-silver agenda, in the days directly ahead –

-- including how to let the EPA know exactly how you feel about the hypocrisy of these radical environmentalists who are out to ban the use of colloidal silver altogether.

But first, please check out some of my most recent articles on this very important subject, so you have a good background on it.

I would strongly recommend you read the following 7 articles:

Can Pathogens REALLY Develop Resistance to Antimicrobial Silver?

Another New Study Demonstrates the Protective Effects of Silver on Human Cells

How Dr. Robert O. Becker’s Pioneering Work on Silver and Wound Healing Puts the Lie to the Anti-Silver Claims of the Radical Environmentalists

Now Radical Environmentalists Claim Silver Usage is "Killing the Planet" and "Causing Climate Change"

Understanding the Lies Behind the "Silver Is Dangerous to the Environment" Con

In Defense of Colloidal Silver NanoParticles

Colloidal Silver, Rational Environmentalism and Radical Environmentalism

If you'll read through these seven articles, you'll begin to see a pattern emerge:

The radical environmentalists don't have a leg to stand on in regards to their contentions that silver poses a threat to the environment.

They are simply making it up as they go along.

I'll have more on the topic of safe, natural antimicrobial silver and the anti-silver environmentalists in the days directly ahead.

But suffice it to say for now the environmentalist war against silver has heated back up, and silver is once again in the gun sights of the EPA.

And this time, it’s VERY serious.

Until the next article, I remain…

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible use of colloidal silver,

Steve Barwick, author

The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual

P.S. This is another important reason why you should own the means of colloidal silver production, if you don’t already.

By owning a home colloidal silver generator like the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you’ll never again have to worry about the EPA banning the sale of commercial products containing silver.

And make no mistake about it: That’s exactly what the radical, anti-silver environmentalists are after. They’ve even admitted it in their own publications.

So don’t be fooled by all of the rhetoric about “saving the environment” and “protecting the public.” That’s just the cover story.

Simply put, they are out to take away your right to use the most powerful and protective all-natural antibiotic substance on the face of the earth: colloidal silver!

But when you own the means of colloidal silver production, they can’t do a thing about it.

You can make all of the safe, natural, high-quality colloidal silver you want, any time you want…

…and tell the radical anti-silver environmentalists to go pound sand if they don’t like it.
