Unlike other
nutritional supplements, colloidal silver is not a “one trick pony.”
Its astonishing array
of healing and health-promoting benefits are as diverse as its many uses.
Here are the top 17
reasons why colloidal silver should be kept on hand at all times in
every family household, without exception…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The
Silver Edge…
There are 17 good reasons to keep colloidal silver on hand at all times
for your personal health and family well-being.
Once you understand all 17 reasons, you’ll find yourself reaching for
the colloidal silver first in just
about every family health situation.
Let’s take a quick look at each of the 17 reasons for keeping colloidal
silver on hand at all times:
#1. Colloidal Silver’s Astonishing Infection-Fighting
Qualities
Colloidal silver is most often used for its astonishing
infection-fighting qualities, which have been known since before the time of
Christ.
As J. Wesley Alexander stated in his overview, History
of the Medical Use of Silver, published in the journal Surgical Infections in 2009:
“Metallic
silver was known to the Caldeans as early as 4,000 B.C.E., and it was the third
metal known to be used by the Ancients, after gold and copper.
Over these
millennia, silver has been used for numerous medical conditions, mostly
empirically before the realization that microbes were the agents of infection.”
In other words, long before
mankind had ever discovered the presence of infectious microorganisms in
disease, they were using silver to combat infections.
They knew empirically – which is to say, by observation – that silver
healed diseases modern science now knows to be caused by pathogenic microbes.

and infectious diseases, see:
#2.) Colloidal Silver’s Profound Immune-Boosting
Qualities
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., former surgeon at Syracuse
Medical University and author of the best-selling book, The Body
Electric, who conducted ground-breaking research into silver and healing,
the lower one’s bodily silver levels are, the more sickness and
disease one is likely to have. He wrote in the 1970’s:
“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."
Interestingly, silver’s immune-boosting qualities were actually first
discovered nearly 100 years ago.
Indeed, in 1909 the Journal of the American Medical Association reported
that electrically generated silver ions increased white blood cell production
-- a crucial component of immune system
function against infection.

qualities, see:
#3. Colloidal
Silver’s Pain-Relief and Inflammation-Fighting Qualities
Both oral and topical use of colloidal silver aids in bringing about
often-times dramatic relief from discomfort and pain due to inflammation.
According to Dr. Aundrea Adams, Ph.D., CTN:
“Many people are skeptical
of claims that colloidal silver can take away pain and accelerate healing. Nevertheless,
these impressive attributes are firmly grounded in medical science.
Pain is caused by an interruption of
the electrical current that normally flows throughout the body at 50 to 70 millivolts.
At the point of injury, the current drops towards zero millivolts. This
lack of electrical energy also impedes healing.
Silver is a superconductor that bridges
the electrical gap and restores healthy current flow. You can prove this to
yourself by placing a silver coin on a burn and experiencing instant pain
relief. In clinical trials at an FDA-approved laboratory, even silver-coated
bandages were proven to have analgesic and regenerative properties.”
Colloidal silver is also known to be highly anti-inflammatory. First, it kills pathogens that cause
inflammation in the body. And secondly,
it has been demonstrated in clinical studies to modulate the body’s production
of inflammation-promoting cytokines.
According to one recent research article:
“Kenneth Wong and others at the
University of Hong Kong recently investigated the wound-healing properties of
silver nanoparticles, and have shown that they do more than simply kill
bacteria…
…new
research...indicates that silver goes further than this and modifies cytokines
– the enzymes involved in cell growth and movement – leading to reduced
inflammation and an increased rate of healing.
To learn more about silver’s astonishing pain-relieving and
anti-inflammatory properties, see the following articles:
#4. Colloidal
Silver’s Burn Relief and Skin-Healing Qualities
Most all hospital burn wards in the U.S. and around the world use a
prescription silver-based cream called Silvadene (i.e., aka Silver
Sulfadiazine) to help relieve burns, stimulate skin healing and prevent
infections from taking hold on burnt skin.
But if you have colloidal silver on hand, you don’t need an expensive
prescription cream to treat minor burns and sunburn. Just spraying some colloidal silver onto a
burn or sunburn, topically, will often provide dramatic relief from the pain, reverse blistering and stimulate
skin healing.
To learn more about colloidal silver’s dramatic burn-relief and
burn-healing properties, see:
#5. Colloidal
Silver’s Ability to Heal Other Stubborn Skin Conditions
In addition to providing tremendous relief from burns and sunburn, there
are thousands upon thousands of anecdotal reports regarding colloidal silver’s unique
ability to heal stubborn skin conditions – everything from acne and boils to
Poison Ivy and Poison Oak, skin infections, topical shingles outbreaks, even
dandruff and more.
But it was only recently that researchers really started examining the
subject more closely.
Indeed, researchers recently tested
a form of colloidal silver on pigs with severe rashes caused by contact
dermatitis. They were astonished to find
that the skin treated with silver healed far faster than any other treatment:
“Erythema,
edema, and histological data showed that nanocrystalline silver treated pigs
had near-normal skin after 72 hours, while other treatment groups remained
inflamed.”

#6. Colloidal
Silver for Healthy, Happy Pets
Colloidal silver works as an astonishingly effective remedy for pet
infections of all sorts.
It’s know to heal pet eye and ear infections, upper respiratory
infections, stomach infections, ringworm infections, mange, Parvo infections, topical
cuts, abrasions and wounds, and much, much more.
You can administer colloidal silver to pets orally…add it to their food or drinking water…or for topical cuts, scrapes and infections swab the affected area with colloidal silver on a q-tip or cotton ball.

#7. Colloidal Silver Keeps Food Fresher, Longer
According to natural health author Angela Kaelin, colloidal silver is
one of the very best natural food preservatives you can find, anywhere, at any
price! She writes:
“As a
natural preservative, colloidal silver is not only extremely safe and highly
effective, but it provides a number of powerful health benefits to
the human body, including increased immunity and greater resistance
to infection and disease.
That’s why
colloidal silver remains to this day the perfect added preservative for
canning, as well as for lengthening the shelf life of the foods in your
refrigerator or on your kitchen counter.”
Indeed, as many colloidal silver users can attest, adding an ounce of
colloidal silver to a quart of milk that’s just begun to sour will reverse the
souring overnight and keep the milk fresh days longer. Many people add a bit of colloidal silver to
other foods prone to spoil early, such as cottage cheese.
Some even spray their fruits and veggies with colloidal silver to keep
them fresher longer. And many colloidal
silver users wash their fruits and veggies using a colloidal silver-based fruit
and vegetable wash, in order to kill pathogens such as E. coli or
Salmonella.

#8. Colloidal Silver Is a Gardener’s Best Friend
According to Dr. Keith F. Courtenay, in his book, Colloidal Silver: the Hidden Truths, colloidal silver is known to
heal bacterial, viral and fungal attacks on plants. He writes:
"For all bacterial, fungal and viral
attacks on plants, flowers and fruit, simply spray diluted colloidal silver on
the leaves; also, add to water, mixing one tablespoon per liter.”
This has recently been borne out by clinical research indicating that
colloidal silver not only kills plant fungus, but produces larger and healthier
crops in the process.

#9. Colloidal Silver Is Safe and Non-Toxic
If you’ve done any research at all on colloidal silver, you’re sure to
find a few shrill, of-the-wall articles warning of its alleged “toxicity.”
But experts attest that silver, when used within reason, has one of the
safest toxicological profiles of any nutritional supplement. And recent research has proven that out. According to researchers Drake and Hazelwood,
writing in “Exposure-Related Health Effects of Silver and Silver Compounds”:
“Silver in any form is not thought to be
toxic to the immune, cardiovascular, nervous, or reproductive systems and is
not considered to be carcinogenic.”
And according to the Dartmouth University Toxic Metals Research Program:
"Trace
amounts of silver are in the bodies of all humans and animals. We normally take
in between 70 and 88 micrograms of silver a day, half of that amount from our
diet.
Humans have
evolved with efficient methods of dealing with that intake, however. Over 99
percent is readily excreted from the body. Is silver harmful to humans?
Unlike other
metals such as lead and mercury, silver is not toxic to humans and is not known
to cause cancer, reproductive or neurological damage, or other chronic adverse
effects."

and non-toxic, see:
#10. Colloidal
Silver Heals Tooth and Gum Problems
Clinical researchers are finally looking into the amazing healing and
antimicrobial properties of silver for use in keeping teeth and gums healthy
and infection-free.
A recent study from China, for example, demonstrated that a "colloidal
silver gelatin sponge" utilized on an infected tooth and surrounding gums
was able to cure the infection.
Of course, long-time colloidal silver users are abundantly aware of
silver’s often miraculous ability to heal infected teeth and gums, including its
ability to stop plaque deposits from forming.

and gum problems, see:
#11. Unlike Antibiotic Drugs, Colloidal Silver Is Also
Effective Against Many Viral
Infections
While colloidal silver is widely acknowledged to be most effective
against bacterial infections, it’s also been demonstrated both in clinical
research and in anecdotal accounts to be effective against a growing number of viral
infections.
According to the clinical review, “Silver Nanoparticles as Potential
Antiviral Agents”:
“Silver
nanoparticles have mainly been studied for their antimicrobial potential
against bacteria, but have also proven to be active against several types of
viruses including human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, herpes
simplex virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and monkey pox virus. The use of metal nanoparticles provides an
interesting opportunity for novel antiviral therapies.”
In another clinical review, titled “Viral Pathogens and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome: Oligodynamic Ag1 for Direct Immune Intervention,”
researchers stated:
“Emerging medical studies confirm
the antiviral immune intervention of oligodynamic Ag1 [i.e., small, bio-active
silver particles – ED] in vitro and in vivo against some of the most formidable
viral organisms such as HIV and herpesvirus hominis.”
According to the Colloidal
Silver Kills Viruses website, Dr Eric Gordon, MD and Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD,
writing in the prestigious Townsend Letter for Doctors, believe
colloidal silver is the answer to many other viral infections, as well, including
serious upper respiratory viral infections such as flu pandemics.
They point out in their article titled A Promising Cure for
Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Pandemics, Including the Avian Flu: Has the
Final Solution to the Coming Plagues Been Discovered? that, “the collective authoritative medical
literature has documented efficacy of silver's virotoxicity against over 24
viruses.”
What’s more, the authors state that the 200-plus viral strains known to
cause upper respiratory tract infections, including most flu viruses, will also
most likely succumb to the powerful antiviral qualities of very small particles
of “oligodynamic silver" (i.e., a medical reference to silver being
extremely powerful even in small quantities).
In fact, they point out that silver is likely going to be the answer
to any future global viral pandemic, stating:
“A
broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that really works is needed to combat over 200
viruses that cause Upper Respiratory Tract Infections.
Undoubtedly
oligodynamic silver fits this bill...Emerging medical studies confirm the
stellar, broad-spectrum virotoxic efficacy of oligodynamic silver both in vitro
and in vivo.”
In the following articles, you’ll discover how many experienced
colloidal silver users have successfully beaten cold and flu viruses, as well
as numerous other viral infections, as well:
#12. Colloidal Silver is Also Effective Against
Fungal Infections
Studies over the past 10 years have demonstrated colloidal silver to be extremely
effective against fungal pathogens, in addition to its profound effects against
bacterial and viral pathogens.
Fungal infections are some of the hardest infections to get rid of,
often requiring weeks or even months of treatment with harsh antifungal drugs
known to cause liver damage and other side effects.
But researchers now acknowledge that colloidal silver is VERY effective
against fungal pathogens. And when used properly it has none of the
potentially serious side effects of the prescription antifungal drugs.

#13. Colloidal Silver Is a Safe, Effective,
Non-Toxic Household Disinfectant
According to health and lifestyle writer Jodi Todd, replacing costly and
potentially toxic household cleaning and disinfecting products with safe, natural
colloidal silver should be a top priority for every family. She writes:
“Germs, mold and other microbes are always popping up in unexpected places in the home. And it’s your job to prevent these pathogens from spreading to your family.
“Germs, mold and other microbes are always popping up in unexpected places in the home. And it’s your job to prevent these pathogens from spreading to your family.
“Colloidal Silver is
my #1 choice for disinfecting the home because it’s environmentally friendly,
free from chemical toxins, extremely effective and most importantly of all,
INEXPENSIVE!
“Indeed, colloidal
silver can be made at home – quickly and easily -- for a fraction of the cost
of those chemical-laden commercial disinfectants. And it works better than most
of them because its germ-fighting capabilities last longer.”
You can read Jodi’s article, “Colloidal Silver: the Safe, Natural, Non-Toxic Home
Disinfectant” directly below, along with ten more articles on using
colloidal silver around the house to keep your home environment cleaner and
germ-free without having to use products containing toxic chemicals:
#14. Colloidal
Silver Heals Earaches With Ease
According to natural health writer Angela Kaelin, using very small
amounts of colloidal silver in the ears is one of the simplest and most natural
ways to get rid of an earache. She
writes:
“Colloidal silver is perhaps the
world’s simplest and most effective cure for ear infections. That’s because it
is all-natural, comes in liquid form which can easily be dropped into the ear
using a standard eyedropper, and is easily available over-the-counter at health
food stores or through internet sources.
What’s more, unlike conventional prescription antibiotic drugs which are designed to work against specific classes of bacteria, and won’t work at all against fungal pathogens or viruses, colloidal silver has very broad spectrum antibiotic, antiviral and anti-fungal qualities. Indeed, it almost always works regardless of what’s causing your infection.”

#15. Colloidal Silver Heals Eye Infections Quickly
and Effectively
According to Dr. James Balch, M.D., author of the bestselling book Prescriptions
for Nutritional Healing, you can indeed use colloidal silver directly in
your eyes for Pink Eye, styes (i.e., conjunctivitis) and other eye infections.
In his newsletter, he recommended a few drops in each eye, several times a day, of 5 ppm to 10 ppm colloidal silver.

adjunct to healing eye infections, see the following articles and videos:
#16. Colloidal Silver Heals Stubborn Sinus
Problems FAST
Experts say colloidal silver is one of the most effective natural
substances you can use for knocking out sinus infections or alleviating nasal
allergy symptoms.
All you need is some 5 to 10 ppm colloidal silver, and a small nasal
spray bottle. Here’s what one lady says
about her experience using colloidal silver for sinus problems:
“I had
struggled in the spring and autumn seasons before due to heavy pollen with
severe sinus pain/headache, etc.
Now, I simply lay
on my bed with my head back hanging slightly over the bed, and I drop three
drops of colloidal silver silver into each nostril, lay there for one minute
(the "slight" stinging lets you know it made it there), then I blow
my nose.
I repeat the
process one more time. Within an hour my suffering subsides, and my head feels
clear.”

problems, in the following articles and videos:
#17. Colloidal Silver Kills Antibiotic Drug-Resistant
Pathogens
According to Dr.
Garry Gordon, M.D., antibiotic-resistant infections are now the fourth leading
cause of death, topped only by heart disease, cancer and stroke.
And that’s not just in
the U.S., but worldwide. In
other words, your chances of getting a drug-resistant infection are growing by
leaps and bounds.
Thankfully, nature
has provided us with what medical science has been unable to provide, i.e., a
substance that wipes out drug-resistant super-pathogens with relative
ease. Here’s what you need to know:
