Got dandruff? Well, it’s likely you won’t anymore if
you start working a little bit of colloidal silver into your scalp each
day.
According to the
latest clinical research silver works wonders against the fungal pathogen that
causes dandruff – even working better than prescription anti-fungal dandruff
drugs.
Here’s the straight scoop
on the two latest studies demonstrating the anti-dandruff benefits of silver
nanoparticles…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
Last year I wrote an article
titled “Colloidal Silver Helps Heal Stubborn Dandruff Problems,” in which I documented through anecdotal
reports from readers that colloidal silver is astonishingly effective against
dandruff, which is caused by a fungal pathogen infestation of the scalp.
I also documented a
number of clinical studies demonstrating silver’s proven anti-fungal prowess. But what I couldn’t find at the time was a clinical study proving silver to be
an effective anti-dandruff treatment.
In fact, I stated at
the time, “Silver’s powerful antifungal
properties have not only been known for decades but have repeatedly been
verified by medical science. So frankly, it’s quite astonishing that
colloidal silver has never been investigated as a remedy for dandruff.”
But now, with the latest
clinical research, all of that’s changed, as you’re about to learn. Not one, but two new clinical studies have demonstrated silver’s powerful
anti-dandruff qualities. And you can bet
in due time some big drug company will be coming out with a new dandruff
shampoo with silver as the active anti-fungal, anti-dandruff ingredient.
The Latest Research:
Silver Stops Dandruff Better Than Drugs
In a relatively new clinical
study, titled “Size- and
Shape-dependent Clinical and Mycological Efficacy of Silver Nanoparticles on
Dandruff,” published in the International
Journal of Nanomedicine in June, 2015, researchers from India found that
silver nanoparticles of various shapes and sizes were effective against the Malassezia furfur fungus, which causes
dandruff.
According to the
researchers:
“The present work outlines a
detailed analysis of the treatment of scalp infection using silver
nanomaterials (Ag NMs), and focuses on biocidal activity owing to manipulation
of size, shape, and structure…
…silver nanomaterials demonstrated enhanced
biocidal tendencies compared to market available drugs, itracanozole and
ketoconazole, showing greater zones of inhibition.”
In other words, the
tiny, 20 nm silver nanoparticles worked even better against the dandruff fungus than prescription anti-fungal dandruff
drugs such as itracanozole and ketoconazole.
Indeed, the
researchers wrote that the silver nanoparticles were “found to be superior to
tested drugs.”
The researchers even
tested the silver nanoparticles in vivo,
using the rat model. They wrote:
“An in vivo model for M. furfur infection was
generated by passing fungi subcutaneously in rats’ skin. Again, 20 nm
particles showed best normalization of skin after 10 days on regular
dosing.”
In other words, the
researchers induced an infection with the skin fungi that causes dandruff in
the skin of the mice. They then treated
the skin of the mice with silver. And the
dandruff-causing fungal infection of the skin was cured after only 10 days of silver
use. The researchers also found that the
use of the silver nanoparticles caused no damage to the skin, whatsoever. They wrote:
“The results of skin irritation
test indicate that Ag NPs do not produce any dermatological reaction and were
well tolerated by rats showing no drastic visual flakes formation and
inflammation.”
Instead, the
researchers found that the silver nanoparticle treatment brought about
significant tissue repair. They wrote:
“Biochemical analysis performed by
checking antioxidant enzymatic activities indicated tissue repair and
normalization of enzymes and protein concentration by Ag NPs.”
Finally, the
researchers concluded:
“Small-sized spherical Ag NPs can
be used as an important cost-effective fungistatic agent in formulations for
treating scalp problems, since they can be produced in larger quantities and
very small amount is required for the desired effect.”
As I stated earlier, be on the watch for a new anti-fungal
shampoo with silver nanoparticles as its active ingredient. It’s only a matter of time before the big over-the-counter
medical corporations that produce other dandruff shampoos pick up on this
research, if they haven’t already. In
fact, the next study (below) indicates they already have…
Another New
Silver/Dandruff Study
Another similar recent clinical
study is titled “Anti-Malassezia furfur Activity of Natural Surfactant
Mediated In-Situ Silver Nanoparticles for a Better Antidandruff Shampoo
Formulation,” published in January 2016 in the chemical sciences journal RSC Advances.
In this study, researchers from the National Institute of
Technology and the Centre for Converging Technologies in India pointed out that
the dandruff-causing fungus Malassezia
furfur was becoming resistant to common anti-dandruff drugs and medications. They wrote, “…in many cases dandruff causing fungi, Malassezia furfur develops
resistance towards commonly used antidandruff drugs, as a result, it necessary
to develop a new class of novel antidandruff shampoo…”
So the researchers tested silver nanoparticles and found a significant
anti-fungal effect “in aqueous media against
M. furfur.” In other words, they
tested the silver in a liquid media similar to shampoo. And they concluded that the silver
nanoparticles not only remained stable in the liquid media they used, but protected
the liquid media from microbial contamination and showed “potential as an active antidandruff simple shampoo formulation.”
It’s abundantly clear from the study title that developing a
“better antidandruff shampoo formulation” is the goal of the researchers. Indeed, whenever you see clinical studies
like this being released one behind the other, you can rest assured someone,
somewhere, is already working on the development of a new silver-based
commercial product.
That’s why I feel confident in predicting there will soon be
new anti-dandruff shampoos introduced to the market – whether prescription, or
over-the-counter I do not know – but based on silver nanoparticles as the
active, fungal-fighting anti-dandruff ingredient.
Should You Wait?
If you’re suffering from dandruff, should you wait for the big medical corporations to
bring to market an expensive new commercial anti-dandruff product utilizing
silver?
Nope. Not if you’ve
got safe, natural colloidal silver on hand.
After all, you can simply add a few ounces of 10 ppm colloidal silver to
your regular shampoo and shake it up to distribute the silver particles – and voila
– you now have an effective silver-based shampoo. (I’ve been doing this for years, and it really works!)
You can also do what thousands of experienced colloidal
silver users have done for years, and spray a small amount of colloidal silver
directly onto the scalp each day, gently working it into the scalp and then
allowing it to air dry.
The result? Like
magic, the dandruff generally clears up inside of a week. Here, from my previous article
on this topic, are a few of the testimonials from people who have used
colloidal silver to bring their dandruff problems to a screeching halt:
“I found out about
the silver about a year ago, I am never without it. I used it on my son’s
dandruff also, which the Dermatologist gave him an Rx for 65.00 shampoo that
did not work. Grrrrrrrrrr…nothing worked except the silver. That and
Essential Fatty Acids! Love this stuff and wish more people would be aware of
it.”
-- Joanna S.
“You name it, and
we've probably used colloidal silver for it!
My husband even sprays it on his hair in the mornings, for dandruff. And
come to think of it, he hasn't had any dandruff to speak of in four or five
years now! Owning a colloidal silver generator from The
Silver Edge has given us the luxury of being able to use high-quality
micro-particle colloidal silver any time we need it, and we never have to worry
about the costs. The machine is very easy to use, and easy to store. And it is
without a doubt the single-best money-saving appliance in my entire
house!"

“I have got rid of my
dandruff with Colloidal Silver. And using it on burns is nothing
short of astonishing. The relief is practically instant. I cannot promote it enough. Thx Steve
for all your dedication and hard work. It is very much appreciated."

Here are some
additional testimonials regarding colloidal silver and dandruff, from various online
sources:
“I
had dandruff as long as I can remember and have used "Head and
Shoulders" for at least 25 years. One morning a few weeks ago, I ran out
of shampoo and started using my wife's un-medicated kind.
I keep a bottle of
colloidal silver on my bathroom counter to take a swig from each morning. It
has a spray cap on it so I can use it as deodorant (works great!). I sprayed it
on my hair and let it dry. I noticed the next day, my hair was nice
and soft. I did it the next day and used the un-medicated shampoo again.
Now, I use it every
day and have soft hair and no itchy scalp or dandruff. What a blessing! Try it.
It may work for you.”

“I have not used the
colloidal silver a lot yet but I did use it on my daughter’s hair. She has hair
like I did when I was younger it got greasy within one day and the dandruff was
awful. But I used the colloidal silver in her hair and there was no dandruff
and it actually stayed soft and not greasy for at least 3 days after. It’s the
only thing that has kept her hair free of dandruff.”

“I've always had
dandruff, and without washing every single day with dandruff shampoo, my scalp
would get itchy and flaky, and my hair would get oily. And I'd be extra
susceptible to bed head, hat head, and other such embarrassments.
Depending on who you
ask, dandruff seems to be fungal or yeast-oriented condition. Colloidal silver
is supposed to have anti-fungal properties, right? Turns out, for me at least,
it works better than the store-bought shampoo. Less itchy, less flaky,
less oily. I'm calling this one Confirmed.”

In short, colloidal
silver is a powerful anti-dandruff agent that, for many people, appears to be
even more effective than traditional antifungal shampoos and drugs.
And now…finally…it’s even been proven by medical
research to work!
Learn to Make Your
Own
Colloidal Silver for Pennies…
Colloidal silver can
be purchased at just about any local health food store, or through a number of
online sources including Amazon.com.
However, it’s quite
literally one of the most expensive and heavily marked-up natural supplements
in existence.
Health food store
owners, for example, often charge as much as $20-$30 for a tiny four-ounce
bottle. Yet the cost to manufacture four ounces of colloidal silver
is about 12 cents. Yes, I said twelve cents.
O course, people are
willing to pay through the nose for colloidal silver, since it’s safe and
natural, and works so well against infections and related diseases.
But thankfully, there’s
no need to pay such exorbitant prices for colloidal silver, when you can make
your own, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for about
36 cents a quart.
Yes, you can make it yourself for its actual cost, and altogether skip the sky-high mark-ups charged by health food stores!
