A 2011 study
demonstrates that very low concentrations of colloidal silver produced “pronounced
antibacterial effect” against six well-known and potentially deadly disease-causing
microbes, and even against one microbe used to simulate anthrax in germ warfare
tests.
What does this mean to
you? It means colloidal silver can help
protect you and your family against six of the most common disease-causing
microbes known to man – microbes that produce millions of infections and
hundreds of thousands of deaths every single year. What’s more, colloidal silver may well
protect against deadly germ warfare pathogens, as well.
Read my short article
below to learn which well-known – and sometimes deadly -- disease-causing
microbes have been clinically proven to be eradicated by colloidal silver in
lab studies, even at extremely low concentrations, and why this information is
so important for you to know…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for TheSilverEdge.com...
In a clinical study
published in the Digest Journal of
Nanomaterials and Biostructures, researchers from the Metallurgical and
Material Science Engineering Department at Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey
documented that colloidal silver demonstrated a pronounced antibacterial effect
against seven pathogens.
What’s more, the colloidal silver evidenced this pronounced
antibacterial effect in very low concentrations, i.e., 2-4 ppm.
The seven pathogens tested were:
·
Escherichia coli
·
Staphylococcus aureus
·
Candida albicans
·
Salmonella typhimurium
·
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
·
Klebsiella pneumoniae
·
Bacillus subtilis
Silver: A Noble Metal
One of the most interesting aspects of the above-linked
study, for me, is that the researchers correctly refer to silver as a
"noble metal," rather than a "heavy metal."
The term "noble metal" is the correct scientific
nomenclature for silver. After all,
silver is in the same family of metals as platinum, palladium and gold (all
noble metals) and NOT in the family of metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium,
cobalt and arsenic, which are known as the "heavy metals".
Unfortunately, unscrupulous groups and individuals who are
known naysayers of colloidal silver continue to refer to silver as a
"heavy metal" – this, as a sensationalistic means of scaring people
into believing it's a cumulative toxic poison, when it is not.
Why Bacillus Subtillis?
Another interesting thing is that the researchers in the
above-linked study tested colloidal silver against six well-known, disease-causing
microbes, plus one relatively non-pathogenic
microbe known as Bacillus subtilis.
The researchers don't explain why they included Bacillus subtilis among the bacteria
tested, as it is generally considered to be a benign microbe except in cases of
immuno-compromised individuals.
While Bacillus
subtilis has been implicated in rare cases of eye infection, meningitis and
bacteremia, as well as some cases of nosocomial infection (i.e., of surgical
wounds in hospitals), it's actually a common soil bacteria that's considered to
be ubiquitous in the environment, and generally harmless.
However, the unusual hardiness
of this microbe may have been the reason it was included in the study, as it is
considered to be very difficult to kill.
You see, although relatively harmless, Bacillus subtilis has also been used as a “simulant” in germ
warfare studies for its first cousin, Bacillus
anthracis – the deadly anthrax pathogen.
In other words, Bacillus
subtilis is generally thought to be as difficult to kill as anthrax. According
to one researcher,
Bacillus subtilis has many of the
same protective characteristics as the deadly anthrax pathogen:
“Like anthrax, Bacillus subtilis has the capability to become dormant.
It does this by producing endospores – a kind of armour plating, which makes it
impervious to temperature variations, desiccation, ultra-violet light,
starvation and some disinfectants.”
Apparently, it’s the formation of these endospores that
gives Bacillus subtilis its unusual
resistance to toxic chemicals and physical agents, including common
disinfectants.
Demonstrating that colloidal silver easily stops Bacillus subtils in its tracks is
essentially the equivalent of demonstrating that it can also stop anthrax or
other serious and difficult-to-kill pathogens, as well.
Indeed, in the book The
Hot Zone, author Richard Preston tells the true story of how the U.S. Army
stopped a deadly Ebola outbreak at a research facility using formaldehyde
gas. Not wanting to risk lives testing
for the presence of Ebola, they first inoculated the facility with Bacillus subtilis, knowing how extremely
difficult it is to kill.
After releasing the formaldehyde gas into the facility for
three days, they then tested for signs of live Bacillus subtilis, and found none.
Therefore, they concluded, the deadly Ebola was gone, too. And of course, it was.
Now, researchers have demonstrated that colloidal silver –
even in very small concentrations -- is also effective against Bacillus subtilis.
You can learn more about the use of colloidal silver for deadly
germ warfare pathogens in my previous article, Colloidal Silver and
Biological Warfare.
Colloidal Silver Effective
Against “All Tested Microbes”
According to the researchers, concentrations as low as 2-4
ppm demonstrated "pronounced antibacterial effect" against the seven
pathogens tested.
The researchers concluded that, "all seven tested
microorganisms were completely inhibited at the concentration of 2-4 μg/ml of
nano silver.” (That’s a mere 2 to 4 ppm colloidal silver.)
While these were admittedly test tube studies, and not human
studies, this research demonstrates the fact that very low concentrations of colloidal silver are indeed able to kill
some of today’s most prevalent and serious disease-causing pathogens, as well
as one of the most extremely hardy and difficult-to-kill of all microbes, Bacillus subtilis.
Not a Peep…
Colloidal silver’s astonishing and clinically proven ability
to destroy these well-known disease-causing pathogens at very low concentrations
should be headline news around the world.
But thanks to Big Pharma’s government-enforced lock on
prescription antibiotic drugs, you’ve probably never heard a peep about this
study, or about any of the other dozens of clinical studies on
colloidal silver that have amply demonstrated its undeniable
infection-fighting benefits.
According to the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, the
rate of infections striking Americans in hospitals alone is now astronomical:
“The CDC claims that 1.7 million
people contract infections in U.S. hospitals each year. In fact, the truth is several times that number.
The proof is in the data. One of
the fastest growing infections is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a superbug that doesn’t respond to
most antibiotics.
In 1993, there were fewer than
2,000 MRSA infections in U.S. hospitals. By 2005, the figure had shot up to
368,000 according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
By June, 2007, 2.4 percent of all
patients had MRSA infections, according to the largest study of its kind, which
was published in the American Journal of
Infection Control. That would mean 880,000 victims a year.
That’s from one superbug. Imagine the number of infections from bacteria of all
kinds.”
I might add, imagine the number of infections if you
included those that have taken place outside
of the hospital environment, as well as inside.
We are talking staggering numbers of annual infections that
would make your head spin.
So you’d think that medical authorities would be screaming from the rooftops about the studies demonstrating colloidal silver to be effective against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiela pneumonia.
So you’d think that medical authorities would be screaming from the rooftops about the studies demonstrating colloidal silver to be effective against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiela pneumonia.
After all, these six pathogens cause some of the most serious
and commonly acquired of all infections, costing hundreds of billions of
dollars per year in health care and leaving tens of thousands of people dead in
their wakes.
But you won’t hear a word on the nightly news about the
clinically proven ability of colloidal silver to kill these pathogens. And that means you have to educate yourself.

Here’s links to a handful of short articles on colloidal
silver and its proven ability to decimate the six disease-causing pathogens
discussed above:
- E. coli is well-known as one of the most common food poisoning pathogens in the world today, resulting in 265,000 illnesses and about 100 deaths annually in the U.S. alone. For more information on using colloidal silver against E. coli, click the link.
- Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of skin infections, and is well-known for its ability to mutate into MRSA, the potentially deadly form of Staph which kills up to 93,000 people per year in the U.S. alone – more than all annual AIDS mortalities. For more information on using colloidal silver against Staphylococcus aureus/MRSA, click the link.
- Candida albicans is the well-known fungal pathogen normally found in small numbers in the human body, but that can easily grow out-of-control under certain conditions. It can affect the skin, genitals, throat, mouth and even become blood-borne, at which point it has a mortality rate of approximately 40%, resulting in close to 40,000 deaths per year. For more information on using colloidal silver against Candida albicans, click the link.
- Salmonella typhimurium is another well-known food poisoning pathogen infecting up to one million people per year in the U.S., resulting in 20,000 hospitalizations and causing symptoms ranging from vomiting, diarrhea and severe abdominal pain to death in severe cases (up to 400 deaths per year). For more information on using colloidal silver against Salmonella typhimurium, click the link.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of lung infections and burn infections, and one of the most frequent causes of death in lung disease and among burn victims, with mortality rates ranging between 18% and 61% depending upon the microbial strain and the site of infection. For more information on using colloidal silver against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, click the link.
- Klebsiela pneumonia is found in the mouth, skin and intestines, but can also infect the lungs, causing pneumonia and destroying lung tissue, leading to death. The mortality rate can be as high as 50%. This microbe can also mutate into CRKP – the latest of the deadly super-pathogens medical science is having trouble controlling with prescription antibiotic drugs.
