Many
people are aware of the powerful, infection-fighting qualities of colloidal
silver, and its ability to literally decimate infectious microbes upon contact.
But
few people realize that colloidal silver is also known to be an effective
immune system booster, when used regularly in small amounts.
Here’s
what the experts say about colloidal silver’s documented immune-boosting
capabilities, and how they work…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The
Silver Edge…
In addition to its well-known
infection-fighting qualities, colloidal silver is also known to be a powerful
immune system booster.
According to Dr. Robert O. Becker,
M.D., author of the best-selling book, The
Body Electric, who conducted ground-breaking research into silver and
healing at Syracuse Medical University, the lower one’s bodily silver levels
are, the more sickness and disease one is likely to have. He wrote:
“While analyzing hair samples and
questioning the parties involved, I noticed the correlation between low silver
levels and sickness.
People who showed low silver levels in
their hair analysis were frequently sick. They seemed to have innumerable
colds, flu, fevers, and various other sickness.
I believe that a silver deficiency may
be the key to the improper function of the immune system."
Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., of the
famous Tahoma Clinic in Washington State, has stated in his article, “Stop
Supergerms in Their Tracks with One Powerful Silver Bullet”:
“In 1909, the Journal of the American
Medical Association was the first medical journal to point out that colloidal
silver could actually increase our immune cells' phagocytic index.
In the past few years, more studies
have shown that silver ions greatly enhance the essential second part of the
phagocytic index -- the part where the germ is digested by our immune cells.
This is brought about because silver
ions increase the "digesting juices" (what you know as hydrogen
peroxide) of these immune cells."
And as the famous Dr. Joel D. Wallach,
BS, DVM, ND and Ma Lan, MD, MSb, and author of Rare Earths, Forbidden Cures has stated:
“Silver has been employed in human
health care and in the search for immortality since the days of the Chinese
alchemist 8,000 years ago.
Many feel that silver is in fact an
essential element, not because it is required for an enzyme system, but rather
as a systemic disinfectant and immune system support."
According to clinical researcher V.
Edwards-Jones, writing in Letters in
Applied Microbiology, in an article titled, “The benefits of silver in
hygiene, personal care and healthcare”:
"Silver has been used for
centuries as an antimicrobial agent to reduce bioburden and prevent
infection…Increasing evidence of improved antimicrobial activity of
nanoparticles of silver and possible dual immunomodulatory effects are
exciting."
And according to Dr. Kent
Holtorf, of the Holtorf Medical Group, silver may be a natural component of the
human immune system:
“There is evidence that silver is a
natural critical component of our immune system and that low tissue levels
associated with a dietary deficiency may result in a relatively weakened immune
system, making one more prone to infection. (3,4,5)”
And finally, as Dr. Ron Surowitz, head
of the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association, has stated, many of his own
skin patients have found dramatic relief by spraying colloidal silver onto
infected areas of skin:
“...It's interesting how many of my patients
improve with the use of Colloidal Silver. It enhances the immune system where
other antibiotics cause yeast overgrowth...”
So it’s relatively clear that
colloidal silver helps boost immunity.
And of course, a stronger immune system can be a dramatic aid in helping
prevent infection and disease, altogether.
Increasing White And Red Blood Cell Production
One way in which silver helps boost immunity is by
increasing the body’s white blood cell production. Indeed, silver's ability to boost white blood
cells has been well documented for more than 100 years.
For example, in 1909, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that
electrically generated silver ions increased white blood cell production.
White blood cells – also called leukocytes -- are
the cells of the immune system that are involved in
protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign
invaders.
They are critical factors in human immunity, aiding the body
in the destruction of cancer cells, viruses, bacteria, and other invaders.
In 1939, researchers Hill and Pillsbury made similar
findings, demonstrating an increase in white blood cells after silver usage
[see: Hill, WR, D Pillsbury, Argyria: The Pharmacology of Silver, The Williams
& Wilkins Company, Baltimore, 1939; p. 48.]
And over fifty years later, researchers Remes and Williams
found that silver ions appear to 'prime' white blood cells to go on the offense
against a variety of biological insults [see Remes, A, Williams, DF, Neutrophil
Polarization and Immunoelectrophoresis Assays in the Study of Complement
Activation by Biomaterials, Biomaterials, Aug 1991; 12(6):607-13.]
Furthermore, in 1919 Dr. H. Bechold, writing in his
groundbreaking book of the era, Colloids
in Biology and Medicine, cited evidence that silver ions increased both red
and white blood cell counts.
This is important, because while white blood cells are the immune
system’s defenders of the human body against biological insults such as
infection and toxins, red blood cells carry life-giving oxygen to all tissues
and organs. And without that oxygen,
immunity would plummet.
So silver apparently aids in both immune defense and in the
support of oxygenation of the body, by boosting both our body's red and white
blood cells counts.
In their study Argyria - The Pharmacology of Silver
(Williams & Wilkins, 1939), researchers W. Hill & D. Pillsbury reported
that 16 rabbits were injected with silver of arsphenamine at intervals from
three to seven days. A majority of the rabbits showed a gradual increase in
oxygen-carrying hemoglobin and red blood cells during the experiment.
In more recent studies conducted in the 1970's, such as
Treatment of Orthopedic Infections with Electrically Generated Silver Ions by
Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., it’s reported that silver ions give a healthy boost
to human blood cell production.
This may be related to the fact that silver is a "transitional element" giving it the ability to form complex ions. This attribute gives silver the potential to interact on a cellular level in the same way as other complex ions such as vitamin B-12, chlorophyll, and heme (iron), a component of red blood cells.

Finally, in the 1980's researchers Berger, Marino and
Spadaro confirmed that electrically generated silver ions boost human blood
cell production, overall.
These findings lead to the obvious conclusion that while low
white blood cell counts open the door to serious immune system risks, and low
red blood cells lead to oxygen starvation of the body's tissues and organs, regular
daily use of electrically generated colloidal silver might help successfully
counter these risks by stimulating both white and red blood cell production.
