Colloidal Silver and the Bubonic Plague

 Learn more about the astonishing infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
So now the deadliest form of bubonic plague – the airborne, aerosol form that’s breathed into the lungs -- has infected a man near Denver, Colorado.  And he apparently got it from his dog, which later died. 

What's more, news reports say three more plague cases have been found in Colorado since then.

Which, of course, brings up the question, "Can colloidal silver kill the bubonic plague pathogen?" 

While the evidence for colloidal silver’s effectiveness against the bubonic plague pathogen is still circumstantial, it’s indeed quite interesting. Here’s what I can tell you, so far…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

According to a news article on Bloomberg.com, a Denver, Colorado man has contracted a rare form of the bubonic plague.

Reports Bloomberg.com:

“The man, who hasn’t been identified, is infected with pneumonic plague, an inhaled form of the disease, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said July 9 in a statement.

It’s the first case of pneumonic plague seen in the state since 2004, said Jennifer House, a spokeswoman for the department. The man may have been exposed in Adams County near Denver, the department said.

The disease occurs when a bacterium named Yersinia pestis infects the body, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The difference between the pneumonic and bubonic varieties is that the bacteria take hold in the lungs in the first case, rather than underneath the skin through insect bites.”

In a follow-up news story, also from Bloomberg.com, we learn of three more deaths in Colorado from the plague:

"Three more cases were found in Colorado, a week after the first infection of the deadliest form of the disease was reported in the state in a decade.

Two of the new cases also had pneumonic plague, while the third had a milder form."

Those are, of course, some very disconcerting news reports.  Especially when you consider the fact that the plague killed off nearly one-third of Europe back in the 14th century.

Is Colloidal Silver Effective?


Unfortunately, there's no modern-day clinical evidence that colloidal silver is effective against a bubonic plague infection in humans. 

But we've all heard the story that during the 14th century bubonic plague outbreak in Europe, which killed an estimated 1.5 million people and was also known as the Black Death, the young children of wealthy families were instructed to suck on silver spoons each day to preserve their health. 

In hindsight, modern commentators say the tiny amounts of silver ingested from sucking on the silver spoons boosted immunity and helped killed infectious microorganisms, thus preventing many cases of bubonic plague among those who could afford to eat from real silver utensils.

As the story goes, this is how the phrase, "Born with a silver spoon in his mouth" came about.  

The Modern-Day Evidence

Whether or not the story is apocryphal is still up for debate. 

But modern-day evidence for colloidal silver’s effectiveness against the bubonic plague pathogen is weak.  Nevertheless, it’s very interesting.

For example, a company called American Biotech manufacturers a colloidal silver-based topical disinfectant spray product called ASAP-AGX-32.  This product is widely used in hospitals, labs, public schools, gymnasiums, etc. to decrease concentrations of germs on surfaces such as countertops.

American Biotech claims extensive lab testing they had conducted by an independent laboratory demonstrates their colloidal silver-based disinfectant spray kills the bubonic plague pathogen.  In a press release, they wrote:

“Y. pestis is the bacterium that causes Bubonic Plague, which can kill 60% of untreated victims in three to five days.

We wanted to test the limits of our product's capability, and we are delighted with the results.

A normal in vitro (test tube) bacterial test uses a load of 500,000 bacteria per milliliter. The level of plague causing bacteria in our sample was 160 times that normal amount.

The ASAP-AGX-32 silver-based disinfectant killed the bacteria in less than two minutes."

Wow…that’ pretty darned amazing, I think you’ll agree!

American Biotech even took out a patent on the process for using their colloidal silver disinfectant spray to kill the bubonic plague pathogen, Yersinia pestis, as well as a number of other potentially deadly pathogens. In part, here’s what the patent states: 

“By performing a standard kill-time assay using a Y. pestis suspension, it is demonstrated that silver compositions of the present invention are effective even against the bubonic plague bacteria.”

But…the laboratory study conducted on this colloidal silver product was strictly a test tube study.  It was not in vivo testing, i.e., inside the human body testing. 

So this doesn’t prove colloidal silver would work against a bubonic plague infection in the human body.  It only demonstrates that it works against the pathogen in a test tube or on an open surface. 

Nevertheless, it’s a significant indication that colloidal silver could indeed work against an infection caused by the bubonic plague pathogen. 

Many more clinical studies would need to be conducted in order to determine whether or not colloidal silver would work against a bubonic plague infection in humans, and what the proper effective dosage would be.

One More Interesting Piece of Evidence

The only other evidence I've been able to find for colloidal silver’s potential effectiveness against bubonic plague is from former CIA microbiologist Larry Wayne Harris.

Harris claims to have tested colloidal silver against both the anthrax and bubonic plague pathogens while he was with the CIA, and again afterwards.  He claims to have found silver to be highly effective. 

Indeed, when asked on national television whether there were any natural substances that could protect the population against anthrax, bubonic plague and other serious pathogens, Harris, who is author of Bacteriological Warfare: a Major Threat to North America, What You and Your Family Can Do Before and After, responded:

"The only natural substance I know of that is effective against these microbes is colloidal silver. I tested that myself when I was with the CIA, and found it effective against both anthrax and the bubonic plague pathogens."

However, Harris also stated:

“In the event of outbreaks of biological plagues, those who have already been taking sufficient levels of colloidal silver will have an automatic resistance in their bodies…

If, however, a person has not been taking colloidal silver for 30 to 50 days prior to exposure to a plague, silver will have little effect. 

This is because invading bacteria can kill within several days, while it takes weeks for colloidal silver to be spread through your entire body’s trillions of cells.”

That poses quite a dilemma. 

While many people, including myself, have taken small amounts of colloidal silver daily for years, or even decades, many others only use it periodically -- for example, if they feel a nasty cold coming on, or a bout of food poisoning, or some other infection that they want to deal with quickly, safely and naturally.

So for a good number of colloidal silver users, the idea that colloidal silver would only work against the plague if you've already been using it daily for one to two months before being exposed is not a very appealing one.

Is There a Way to Get Colloidal Silver
Into the Body, Quickly and Effectively?

Fortunately, there is a way to get colloidal silver into the bloodstream and the body’s cells and tissues quickly, easily and effectively, even if you haven’t been using colloidal silver regularly. 

Though this has never been tested against the bubonic plague, of course, it’s certainly worth knowing about just in case.  And we have the prestigious Health Sciences Institute (HSI) to thank for bringing this to our attention.

You see, HSI addressed this very topic in an e-alert to their members, back in October 2001, when they reported on a medical symposium that had been held after the 9-11 terror attacks to address dealing with germ-warfare agents like anthrax, the bubonic plague and others. 

As the HSI pointed out at the time, one of their well-known health symposium panelists, Dr. Marcial-Vega, had discovered while dealing with pneumonia patients the fact that colloidal silver can be quickly and easily carried into the human blood stream and from there into the body’s cells and tissues, simply by nebulizing it into the lungs.

Nebulizing is a process by which colloidal silver is run through a small medical device called a nebulizer (inexpensively available on e-Bay) which turns the liquid colloidal silver solution into a fine atomized mist. 

This atomized mist can easily be breathed into the lungs as it’s produced by the nebulizer. And from the lungs the body can efficiently and effectively distribute the colloidal silver straight into the blood stream, cells and tissues.

Since the form of bubonic plague which recently infected the man in Denver was the dreaded aerosol form, which causes infection when it’s breathed into the lungs, this information would seem to be all the more important.

Dr. Marcial-Vega’s Recommendation

Here then, in part, is what the Health Sciences Institute told their members, based on Dr. Marcial-Vega’s experience treating bacterial lung infections such as pneumnia:

“Just in his last decade of medical practice, Dr. Marcial-Vega has treated hundreds of people with a variety of viral, fungal, and bacterial pneumonias. And of all the available treatments, he has seen the greatest success with nebulizer treatments using a colloidal silver preparation.

Silver has long been known for its anti-bacterial properties, and the nebulizer allows the mineral to reach the lungs and kill harmful bacteria.

'We are constantly filtering all kinds of bacteria through our lungs,' explained Dr. Marcial-Vega. Normally, a healthy body is able to kill off any dangerous bacteria on its own. But in the case of illness, like pneumonia, or an especially lethal bacteria, the body may need some extra help.

For a lung infection with a potentially deadly airborne pathogen, he recommends a daily nebulizer treatment with 4 cc's of colloidal silver.”

Dr. Marcial-Vega went on to say he has used the colloidal silver nebulizer treatments on infants, the elderly, and AIDS patients with pneumonia and has seen great results. All have responded quickly to the treatment even when no other approach seemed to help, and no one reported any adverse reactions.

Nebulizers are widely used to treat asthma, and are readily available at drug stores nationwide (or frequently on eBay). The cost generally runs between $50 and $120 for the machine, depending upon quality.

If you’re interested, you can read a more recent article explaining how to nebulize colloidal silver into the lungs with a nebulizer.  There’s even a short video demonstrating the technique. 

No Clinical Evidence, But

Again, there’s no solid clinical evidence that colloidal silver would work in the human body against a bubonic plague infection.  The evidence is strictly anecdotal, or based upon lab testing that was in vitro testing (i.e., outside the human body) rather than in vivo testing (i.e., inside the human body).

What’s more, nebulizing colloidal silver into the lungs is only a theoretical method of dealing with such a serious airborne infection. 

Nevertheless, the historical, anecdotal and laboratory evidence to date is quite interesting, and arguably further clinical testing should be conducted.

After all, colloidal silver has been demonstrated anecdotally to beat many forms of serious infectious illness and disease.  For example:

·       Colloidal silver has been demonstrated – dozens of times now, anecdotally – to be effective against the deadly MRSA pathogen.

·       And colloidal silver has been demonstrated to be effective against other deadly pathogens as well, including these seven

·       What’s more, colloidal silver has been demonstrated to be effective against numerous fungal pathogens as well. 

·       And it’s also been demonstrated to be effective against serious viral pathogens, as well as cold and flu viruses, the shingles virus and many others.

·       Colloidal silver has even been used to beat serious cases of food poisoning.

For those reasons alone it’s worth keeping colloidal silver on hand for emergencies when conventional medical care might not be available, or might be ineffective. 

Make Your Own Colloidal Silver

And the best way to do that is by owning a high-quality colloidal silver generator so you can make all of the colloidal silver you could ever need, quickly and easily, any time you need it, in the comfort and privacy of your own home for less than 36 cents a quart.

After all, why pay exorbitant health food store prices of $7 or $8 an ounce for colloidal silver, when you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for just a little bit over a penny per ounce

If you love colloidal silver like I do, and have experienced its profound effectiveness, there’s just no reason to continue paying the 60,000% mark-up being charged on commercial brands – in which $20 or $30 is being charged for just a few pennies worth of silver and distilled water in a tiny, four-ounce bottle. 

Instead, you can make all of the high-quality colloidal silver you want, any time you want, “at cost” instead.  Indeed, it’s just pennies per batch when you make your own colloidal silver!

Learn how you can make absolutely awesome, therapeutic-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.  That’s a tiny bit over a penny per ounce, compared to health food store prices of $7 or $8 per ounce!

How Colloidal Silver Cured a Nasty Case of Food Poisoning from Eating Raw Honey

 Learn more about the astonishing infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Food poisoning is usually one of the most painful ailments you can ever suffer through. 

And to me, the worst part is the feeling of utter helplessness that engulfs you as you either lay there writhing in severe pain, or end up hovering over the porcelain throne while throwing up, or sitting on it for hours on end too darned scared to get off it due to the explosive diarrhea. 

But colloidal silver has saved my rear (pun intended) from nasty bouts of food poisoning more than once over the past 20 years.  And it did so once again just a few short weeks ago, after I ate some raw honey that was apparently contaminated with a food poisoning bacteria. 

Here’s how I handled the situation, with colloidal silver…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

My wife Kathy and I have been doing our level-headed best to eat better.

We started shopping at Whole Foods instead of the supermarket.  And we started eating organic meats and veggies, plus more raw foods, including occasional raw honey, raw milk and raw cheeses.

For me, one of the perks of our new healthy food lifestyle was getting to eat raw honey.

I found myself using it on my toast, in place of store-bought jellies or jams.  And I’ve used it in coffee and tea, in place of white sugar. 

I’ve even eaten it by the teaspoon when I get a sweet tooth, instead of having a piece candy.

And for the first two small jars worth I didn’t have a problem with it. None whatsoever.

But after I opened the third jar of raw honey and used some on two pieces of toast before bedtime, I really began to wish I’d never heard of the stuff.

Worst Stomach Cramps Ever…

After going to bed, I woke up about six hours later with some of the most horrific stomach cramps I’ve ever experienced. 

The pain was so bad – sharp, stabbing pain – I couldn’t even lay on my stomach.
There was no nausea or vomiting whatsoever.  Just sheer, burning and cramping pain in the upper stomach area. 

The sharp cramps were absolutely excruciating.  And for a moment or two, I even considered going to the emergency room.

Colloidal Silver Saves the Day (Err…Night)…

That’s when I decided to swig a few ounces of colloidal silver.  I tossed back two, one-ounce shot glasses full of 10 ppm colloidal silver, waited 10 minutes, and then tossed back two more.

I went back to bed at that point, lying on my side and holding my stomach, hoping the silver would have some effect on whatever was causing this awful pain.

After about 45 minutes, I noticed a bit of relief from the intense cramping, so I got up and drank two more one-ounce shots of the colloidal silver, before laying back down.

The next thing I knew, it was morning.  I’d slept for over six hours.  And the ungodly stomach cramping was now only slightly noticeable.

I drank two more one-ounces shots of colloidal silver just to make sure I’d killed off whatever nast bug had run rampant in my stomach.

And thankfully, everything was back to normal.  It was almost as if it had never happened.

Proper Preventive Care Afterwards

Now my usual daily colloidal silver dosage is only one ounce of 10 ppm strength.  And since I’d taken a total of eight ounces the previous night to stop the food poisoning symptoms, I decided to forego colloidal silver usage for a week or so.

After all, I don’t like overloading my liver and kidneys with excessive levels of silver. 

I also decided to start taking some extra daily doses of nutritional supplements like Vitamin E, selenium, and N-acetyl-cysteine, which experts like Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D. say help the body process silver efficiently and effectively.

I also decided to take some extra probiotic supplements, as an “insurance policy,” so to speak, in case the overly-large doses of colloidal silver had affected my body’s population of beneficial digestive microbes. 

Other than those precautions, which I consider essential when using larger-than-normal doses of colloidal silver, I didn’t really think much about my bout with food poisoning. 

Indeed, at the time, I wasn’t even sure exactly what had caused it.

I knew all I’d eaten that night was the wheat toast with raw honey.  But it just didn’t make sense to me that this could have been the cause of the nasty bout of food poisoning, considering the fact I’d previously gone through two other jars of raw honey without incident.

“Stupid Is As Stupid Does”

So just a bit over a week later, I got the sweet tooth cravings again, and decided to try another piece of wheat toast using raw honey from the same jar.

And sure enough, within four or five hours I was doubled over again in painful, searing stomach cramps.

I couldn’t believe I’d let my sweet tooth get the better of me.  But the raw honey tasted so danged good, and it was easy enough to rationalize that something else must have caused the original bout of food poisoning.

Yes, as the Forest Gump movie character would say, “Stupid is as stupid does.” 

This time, however, I did two things differently:

First, I chugged down an eight ounce glass of colloidal silver immediately.  I wasn’t taking any chances.  And within half an hour or so, I was already feeling better. 

And secondly, several hours later, when the cramps had almost completely subsided, I took about seven times the normal dose of a good, probiotic supplement containing a grid of eight different beneficial digestive microbes. 

I figured if the colloidal silver missed any of the infection-causing bacteria in my intestines, I wanted to make sure there was plenty of good bacteria present to compete with the remnants.  

“Competitive inhibition” is a mostly overlooked method of stopping recurrent cases of food poisoning in their tracks.  But it really works well. 

And of course taking the extra probiotics couldn’t hurt, in terms of helping “re-stock” the digestive tract in case any of my body’s beneficial microbes had been harmed by the silver.

I want to emphasize once more that the dosages of colloidal silver I took were egregiously high.  But both times I took those high dosages, I was doing what I felt I had to do in order to stop the food poisoning from sending me to the emergency room. 

Over the course of the next few weeks I also once again supplemented with additional amounts of Vitamin E, selenium and N-acetyl-cysteine, to aid my body in processing the excess silver I’d ingested. 

And this time around, I chose to take a ten day “vacation” from colloidal silver usage, and drink plenty of fresh pure water each day to help my body flush any excess silver that might have accumulated from taking such a large dose.

Facts on Food Poisoning
from Raw Honey

After all of this, I went online -- which I should have done the first time the food poisoning struck -- and Googled for information on raw honey and food poisoning. 

And sure enough, there it was, on the Livestrong.com website:

“You may come down with a case of food poisoning after eating raw honey.

Raw honey is a potential source of botulism spores, according to the National Institutes of Health. Symptoms of food poisoning from botulism include stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever.

If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming raw honey, you should contact your health care provider.

In adults, these symptoms are generally initially more uncomfortable than dangerous, but can become life-threatening if they are left untreated.”

Err…crap…I honestly had no idea you could get botulism food poisoning from eating raw honey. 

What’s more, during the course of my research I also found out that raw honey made by bees that gather nectar from flowering Rhododendron or Azalea plants can also have a toxin in it called grayanotoxin 1

As little as one teaspoon of raw honey containing this toxin can cause severe food poisoning symptoms. 

All of this information floored me, because my dad, who was raised on a farm, often told me about eating raw honey on the farm – honeycomb and all -- right out of the bee hive.  And he never recounted any problems with doing so.

The Bible even talks about eating raw honey.  It was known as prophet’s food.  What’s more, I have friends who raise bees, and they tell me they eat the raw honey right out of the beehive, as well, always without incident. 

Indeed, raw honey is eaten worldwide for its multitudes of health benefits. 

The whole idea is that raw, unprocessed honey contains all of the valuable, health-promoting vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes, germ-fighting resins and other beneficial natural substances that are otherwise stripped from the honey when it’s commercially processed and pasteurized.

What’s more, raw honey is said to contain at least 10 different species of beneficial bacteria, including six species of lactobacilli and four species of bifidobacteria. 

Finally, raw honey is a powerful antimicrobial substance in its own right, and can be used externally on infected wounds to reduce or even heal the infection and to promote faster wound healing.

So I was pretty much floored when the raw honey I’d come to love and look forward to each day turned out to cause two serious back-to-back cases of food poisoning.

Unfortunately…

Unfortunately, as I now know all-too-well, raw, unprocessed honey can also contain small amounts of Clostridium botulinum – the botulism pathogen. 

And in some cases, it can contain larger numbers of this spore-like pathogen which causes nearly 150 nasty (and sometimes deadly) cases of food poisoning each year in the U.S. 

From what I’ve read, the botulism pathogen can’t grow in the nectar that’s being processed into honey by the bees inside the hive.  So it appears the pathogen ends up contaminating the raw honey after it’s been harvested

The pathogen is apparently ubiquitous in the environment, but usually in small enough numbers not to cause much of a threat.

Regardless of when or how the contamination happens, a case of food poisoning from eating raw honey – while quite rare, apparently – is no freakin’ picnic.   It’s downright painful, even if you catch it and start treating it early like I did, before the vomiting and diarrhea start.

 I have no idea if there are other pathogens that can contaminate raw honey and cause food poisoning.  And because I didn’t go to the doctor or the emergency room, I honestly can’t say whether or not I actually had a case of botulism food poisoning, or perhaps some other form of food poisoning.

Here’s what I do know, however: 

I know I never want to get another painful bout of food poisoning like that again.  And I know that the jar of raw honey I’d been eating from is now in the bottom of our trash can.  I am not falling for its allure a third time. 

The Good News About Colloidal Silver!

The good news is this:  Whatever the cause of those two bouts of food poisoning were, colloidal silver was the solution both times.  And I’m very grateful for that. 

Of course, I’m also very grateful that I can make and store my own colloidal silver in bulk, for just pennies per one-quart batch, with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

If I had been dependent upon purchasing colloidal silver from a commercial source, the likelihood is I’d have had to wait until morning, then find someone to drive to the health food store for me (while I continued to writhe in pain at home) to buy several of those little four-ounce bottles of colloidal silver they sell for $20 or $30 a bottle, and then bring them to me.

And frankly, if that had been the case, I’d have probably ended up in the emergency room that night, because there was just no way I could have waited until morning for help.  The burning, searing, stabbing cramps were just too painful to deal with.

But because I make my own high-quality colloidal silver any time I want, I already had plenty in stock in the kitchen cabinet.  In fact, I usually have five or six quarts of colloidal silver already made up, and stored in a cabinet at any point in time. 

After all, colloidal silver has been a lifesaver for me and my family many, many times in the past, for everything from simple colds and flu infections, to severe bouts of bronchitis, pneumonia and strep throat.

We’ve also used it effectively for healing earaches, eye infections (including styes and Pink Eye), sinus infections, allergies, cuts, burns, spider bites, pet infections, and much, much more.

(If you’re unfamiliar with the astonishing array of uses for colloidal silver, you might want to take a quick look at the hundreds of real-life colloidal silver success stories posted to the Silver Edge website at the link in this paragraph.)

Colloidal Silver for Less Than 36 Cents a Quart!

And the very best part is this:  You can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. 

There’s no longer any reason to pay those exorbitant health food store prices for colloidal silver.  And there’s no longer any reason to ever “run out” of colloidal silver, or be without it when an emergency crops up unexpectedly. 

Indeed, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge in your possession, you can make all of the colloidal silver you want, any time you want, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for just a few pennies per quart.

And you can do so for the rest of your life!

Why Pay a 12,000% Mark-Up?

You see, commercial colloidal silver vendors mark-up their bottled products by some 12,000%. 

Yes, the cost of the silver in a typical, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver is about 12 cents. 

But commercial colloidal silver vendors usually charge $20 to $30 or more for that tiny bottle, even though the only other ingredient in it, besides the 12 cents worth of silver, is a few more cents worth of distilled water.  That’s it!

Colloidal silver is quite literally one of the most over-priced nutritional supplements on the market today! 

But vendors get away with charging such exorbitant prices for colloidal silver because it’s so darned effective at healing infections naturally. 

Less Than 36 Cents a Quart!

But colloidal silver is not expensive at all if you make it yourself.  By making your own colloidal silver, you can always have it “at cost,” which as I stated earlier, is just pennies per quart. 

Indeed, your greatest ongoing cost is the steam-distilled water that’s needed to make high-quality colloidal silver, which is usually a paltry $1.25 a gallon at your local Walmart. 

And once every year or two, depending upon how often you make colloidal silver, you’ll have to spend about $35 or so to buy a new set of pure, .999 fine silver wire for your generator. 

That’s it.  That’s the whole she-bang, in a nutshell.  It’s just ridiculous to pay expensive health food store prices for colloidal silver when you can make it yourself so darn inexpensively.

How Colloidal Silver Healed a Massive “Chile Bean Blister” on the Roof of My Mouth

 Learn more about the astonishing infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Sometimes, people do the stupidest things when they’re eating a meal composed of food they really, really like. 

By “people,” I mean me.  And by “stupid” I mean burning the roof of my mouth with hot food until it blistered.

Thankfully, for times like this there’s always colloidal silver.  Here’s what I’m talking about…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

Last week wife Kathy made her famous slow cooked Chile Beans with Bison Meat. 

And because it’s always so darned good, when she set a bowl full on the table for me I let my food lust get the better of me and shoved a great big spoonful of it into my mouth before checking to see how hot the food was. 

She’d just taken it out of the slow cooker after cooking for 48 hours, so it was pretty danged hot.  So hot, in fact, that it burned the roof of my mouth and left a nasty blister on my palate from my front teeth all of the way back to my back teeth. 

Worse yet, I compounded my error by continuing to eat the stuff, even though I could tell I’d royally scorched the roof of my mouth.  (Hey, Kathy’s Chile beans really are that good.  But I admit, a little bit of self-control on my part would have been helpful.)

Screwed the Pooch

The bottom line is, after dinner I knew I’d really screwed the pooch, so to speak.    

The great big blister that had formed on the roof of my mouth popped.  And it left a bunch of skin attached and hanging down.  And quite literally, I had to use my fingers to rip the hanging skin from where it was attached to the roof of my mouth.  Ouch.

Now I’ve burned the roof of my mouth once or twice before back when I was a much younger man.  The last time I can remember was from the hot, bubbling cheese on a great big slice of freshly-made pizza I’d bit into. 

So I know from experience that it usually takes a good week or more to heal these nasty roof-of-the-mouth burns, especially if they blister. 

But this time I’d really blown it. 

This was quite literally the worst roof-of-the-mouth burn I’d ever suffered.  And I knew I needed to use something that was going to trigger rapid healing, or I’d be unable to eat anything but cold soup for the rest of the week. 

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue

That’s when I thought, of course, of colloidal silver. 

I usually reach for colloidal silver at the very first sign of infection, because it’s the world’s #1 natural antimicrobial and it’s saved the day for me many times over the past 20 years when I’ve had infections. 

But there was no sign of infection here.  Just raw, burning pain from the deep red exposed skin on the roof of my mouth. 

Nevertheless, I’ve long been familiar with the clinical work of Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. on the use of electrically-generated silver ions to trigger wound healing on the cellular level. 

What’s more, I’ve long known that antimicrobial silver is the very first thing emergency room doctors turn to (in the form of Silvadene Cream) when burn patients are brought into the emergency room, since silver has such a powerful effect on skin healing as well as infection prevention. 

So the first thing I did after dinner was take a great big mouthful of 10 ppm strength colloidal silver, and hold it in my mouth for ten minutes, gingerly swishing it back and forth over the burned area of the roof of my mouth. 

After I was done, I swallowed the colloidal silver.  And then I took another mouthful and repeated the process.  I was astonished at how quickly the intense, raw burning pain subsided. 

Healed in Under Two Days!

The next morning the roof of my mouth was at least 50% better.  I was actually able to drink luke-warm coffee with my breakfast, very carefully, of course, without triggering any significant burning or irritation.  

And after breakfast I brushed my teeth, and then took another big swig of colloidal silver and held it in my mouth for 10 minutes, making sure it was in constant contact with the roof of my mouth.

Later in the afternoon, I repeated the process.  And surprisingly, by dinner, the severe burn on roof of my mouth was at least 90% healed. 

One more mouthful of colloidal silver before bedtime, and the next morning you’d have never known I had blistered and burned my mouth less than a day and a half earlier

Indeed, looking into my mouth using a mirror in a brightly lit bathroom, I could no longer even see a hint red or raw flesh on the roof of my mouth!

Astonishing?

Now, that kind of rapid healing might seem astonishing to some. 

But it’s not really astonishing at all to people who are familiar with colloidal silver usage.  Most experienced colloidal silver users have similar stories, many of which are far more dramatic than my own.

You can read some of them at the Testimonials page at TheSilverEdge.com.  

As you’ll see, there are accounts of skin cancers being healed…plus, colds…horrific flus…bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia…earaches…eye infections (including sties and Pink Eye)…sinus infections…

…toenail fungus…MRSA infections…knife wounds…Poison Ivy…pet infections (including Parvo)…shingles outbreaks…and much, much more -- all healed thanks to the astonishing, infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver. 

Less Than a Nickel?

What you might find even more astonishing, however, is that the four or five mouthfuls of colloidal silver I used to heal the burn on my upper palate cost me less than a nickel

Yes, I mean five cents

But in a health food store, that much colloidal silver would have cost over $20, probably closer to $30.

So how did I get $20 or $30 worth of colloidal silver for only a nickel?

It’s simple.  You see, I make my own colloidal silver with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge -- a company I own.  

And because I make my own colloidal silver, I pay less than 36 cents a quart for it.  This means I can afford to use colloidal silver for many, many protective and health-building benefits – far more than you might realize!

And I’m not the only one, of course.  Literally thousands and thousands of natural health-minded people just like you now make their own colloidal silver for just pennies per quart using a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.

There are literally thousands of other essential uses for this safe, natural and quite miraculous germ-fighting and wound-healing substance. 

But if you’re paying $20 or $30 per bottle at health food stores for those tiny four-ounce bottles, you’ll never be able to maximize the many astonishing healing and protective benefits of colloidal silver.  It’s just too darned expensive!

Why Pay a 60,000% Mark-Up?

And that’s because commercial colloidal silver vendors mark-up their bottled products by some 60,000%. 

Yes, the cost of the ingredients in a typical, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver is about 5 cents -- yes, that’s a tiny bit over a penny per ounce for the silver and the distilled water content, which are the only two ingredients!   

But commercial colloidal silver vendors usually charge $20 to $30 or more for that tiny bottle!

Colloidal silver is quite literally one of the most over-priced nutritional supplements on the market today!  And vendors get away with it because it’s so darned effective.

But it’s not expensive at all if you make it yourself.  Then you can have it “at cost.” 

Yes, by making your own colloidal silver you with a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you pay less than 36 cents a quart -- as in pocket change!

Indeed, your greatest ongoing cost is the steam-distilled water that’s needed to make high-quality colloidal silver, which is usually a paltry $1.25 a gallon at your local Walmart. 

And once every year or two, depending upon how often you make colloidal silver, you’ll have to spend about $35 or so to buy a new set of pure, .999 fine silver wire for your generator. 

That’s it.  That’s the whole she-bang, in a nutshell.  It works out to just a tiny bit over a penny per ounce when all is said and done, and that small cost includes the silver, the water and the extremely small amount of electricity required to run the generator!
