Fungal infections of
the nails (i.e., toenails, fingernails) are some of the most stubborn and problematic
of all infections, usually requiring months of treatment with costly and
potentially toxic antifungal drugs that can cause liver damage and other
serious side effects.
Thankfully,
researchers have demonstrated that safe, natural antimicrobial silver is powerfully
effective against the dermatophyte fungi behind nail fungus. Two different studies – one published in 2008
and one in 2011 – have demonstrated this to be true.
Of course, natural
health advocates have known for years that colloidal silver is highly effective
against numerous forms of pathogenic fungi, including toenail fungus. Here’s the straight scoop you won’t find
anywhere else…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
In this
clinical study published by the 2011 International
Conference on Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics, researchers
examined the effects of silver nanoparticles on the dermatophyte fungi Trichophyton rubrum, which causes nail
fungus.
The study is titled “Antifungal Effects of Silver
Nanoparticle alone and with Combination of Antifungal Drug on Dermatophyte
Pathogen Trichophyton Rubrum.” And as
its authors wrote:
“The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of silver
nanoparticles alone and in combination with the anti-fungal drugs Fluconazole
and Geriseofulvin on dermatophyte pathogen T.rubrum.”
What were the results of this study?
The study authors found that “the growth of T. rubrum was inhibited at concentration of 10 µg/ml silver
nanoparticles alone.” (That's 10 ppm.)
The study authors also found that the antifungal activity of
the drugs Flocunazole (aka Diflucan) and Geriseofulvin (aka Gris-PEG) were “increased in the presence of silver
nanoparticles.”
In other words, silver nanoparticles worked fine, alone,
against the nail fungus. And when the
silver nanoparticles were combined with popular prescription antifungal drugs,
the effectiveness of the drugs was appreciably increased.
Powerful Antifungal
Agent
Of course, silver has been known for decades to be a
powerful antifungal agent, ever since Dr. Robert O. Becker conducted his
studies on the antifungal qualities of silver ions back in the 1970s (see one
such study by Dr. Becker, here).
And modern researchers have repeatedly confirmed silver’s
astonishing effectiveness against fungal pathogens; for example, see the 2010 study
“The Silver Nanoparticle: a New Model
for Antifungal Agents” at this
link.
But the study on dermatophyte fungus above is only the second one I’m aware of to be conducted on
pathogenic nail fungi.
The other study I’m aware of that looked at silver’s powerful
effects against dermatophytes was titled “Antifungal Effect of Silver
Nanoparticles on Dermatophytes,” and it was published in the Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
back in August, 2008.
In that study, researchers also documented silver
nanoparticles to be highly effective against both dermatophytes (nail fungus)
and Candida yeast species of fungus. You
can view a copy of the study, here.

The bottom line is
that older research, as well as modern-day research, has clearly demonstrated
that colloidal silver is highly effective against nail fungus, as well as other
pathogenic fungi such as Candida yeast.
Of course, colloidal silver users have known for years that silver
is one of nature’s most powerfully effective antifungal agents. As reader Nancy S. from Topeka, KS recently wrote:
“My 25 yr old daughter had been treating a foot fungus with many
different over-the-counter products, with no luck in clearing up the fungus.
She had suffered with the pain and itching for almost a month. I
encouraged her to dab on some silver water. She did and immediately the itching
stopped.
I sent her home with a small bottle. The next day she called
me....she had applied it several times that day. The pain was gone and the deep
redness had changed to a pale pink. In 3 days after first application.....fungus
was gone!!
I am no longer skeptical about it.”
Here are some additional informational resources you’re sure
to find helpful on using colloidal silver to heal fungal infections:
- For a well-documented overview of just how powerful silver is against fungal pathogens, see my previous article, Silver Beats Fungal Infections Fast.
- And if you’d like to learn exactly how people are now using colloidal silver to cure their own toenail fungus, see the article Beat Toenail Fungus With Colloidal Silver.
- If you’re tired of paying greedy health food stores $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver, it’s important to know that you can make your own high-quality, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral colloidal silver, for less than 36 cents an ounce, with a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, at this link.

Meanwhile, I’ll be back next week with another great article on
colloidal silver….
Yours for the safe, sane and responsible
use of colloidal silver,
