The Colloidal Silver Cure for Cheyletiella Mites

 Click here to learn to make colloidal silver...
Cheyletiella mites can infest both pets and humans.  And as you’ll see below, the consequences of such an infestation can be long-lasting and devastating. 

That’s because in many cases the mite can be very difficult to eradicate, even with prescription miticides (i.e., chemical pharmaceutical drugs designed to kill mites).  And the infestations tend to recur over the course of time because the mite (and its eggs) can live for long periods of time in fabric such as carpeting, bedding, clothing, bath towels and more. 

Due to the symptoms of constant itching, skin-flaking, and a distinct feeling of bugs crawling beneath the surface of the skin, a prolonged infestation with Cheyletiella mites can also come close to driving a person crazy. 

Thankfully, some people have found that a simple combination of colloidal silver and a particular edible oil (see below), applied to the affected areas of the body, can bring profound relief from the symptoms and even help eradicate the problem altogether. 

Here’s what victims of this unusual affliction are saying…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

To be perfectly truthful with you, I’d never heard of Cheyletiella mite infestations – in either humans or animals -- until a reader wrote to me about the affliction. 

But apparently, the infestations are quite common in pets like dogs and cats, and are growing more and more common among pet owners who pick up the infestations from their pets.

According to an article on a veterinary news website, in many areas of the country infestations with Cheyletiella mites in pets are far more common than flea infestations. 

So Cheyletiella mite infestations are considered to be very common, though in humans they’re often mistaken for other skin conditions. 

After receiving several inquiries from readers about resolving Cheyletiella mite infestations in both animals and humans, I did some additional research and was surprised to find that colloidal silver mixed with a very common edible oil and applied to the affected area of the body, is apparently a fabulous and highly successful remedy – both for pets and for their human masters. 

Of course, that should have come as no surprise to me, considering the fact that many pet owners have also found colloidal silver to be helpful in curing mange mites in their pets

But since Cheyletiella mites can afflict both pets and humans, and since the infestations can last for months or even years due to the fact that many prescription miticides no longer work well, I thought it was important to let readers know about what I’d discovered in the course of my research.

Symptoms of
Cheyletiella Mite Infestation

We’ll get to the specific cure in just a moment.  But first, a little bit of background on these pesky mites.  As an article on the website MiteTreatments.com states:

Cheyletiella is a genus of mites most commonly associated with dogs, cats and rabbits, but they can also live for long periods on humans.

The skin irritation these mites produce is commonly referred to as ‘walking dandruff,’ due to the occasional appearance of moving skin scales carried by the mites.

In humans, the mites may be hard to find. An itchy rash is often the only sign. Cheyletiella mites reproduce quickly and can infest homes for long periods of time.

The website goes on to explain that the Cheyletiella mites are very small – so microscopically small, in fact, they often escape notice unless something causes them to swarm on the skin surface. 

But their aggravating symptoms – which can include intense and constant itching, skin redness, dandruff, patchy hair loss, scabs, skin scaling, bumps on the skin, a feeling of “crawling sensations” on the skin and scalp, and even nasal irritation – can be a constant and frustrating source of aggravation.

And when conventional treatments fail the infestations and their symptoms can last for months or even years on end.  Indeed, it’s often described as “pure hell” by people who end up infested with the mites. 

Cheyletiella mite infestation can also mimic other skin diseases, fooling veterinarians (and dermatologists, in cases of human infestation) into prescribing the wrong treatments. 

Cheyletiella mites are particularly irritating to skin because they have “claw-like mouth parts” which they use to feed on the keratin protein layer of the skin.  Plus, they have prominent, hook-like appendages which they use to hold on to the skin while feeding. 

And while they don’t burrow through skin like scabies mites, they tend to hide between the epidermis (i.e., the outer layer of the skin) and the keratin protein coating that covers the epidermis, making them difficult to find as well as to diagnose. 

Cheyletiella mites are typically contracted through direct contact with animals that have been infested.  But they can also be contracted by touching bedding, carpeting or furniture fabric that’s been infested after an afflicted pet lays on it. 

What’s more, these tiny, microscopic-sized critters (and their eggs) clinging to household surfaces can easily be picked up on clothing or human skin, further perpetuating the infestation over long periods of time.

Experts say it’s important to note that human symptoms generally resolve when pet infestations are properly addressed and brought completely under control.

But individuals who have experienced Cheyletellia mite infestations from their pets often claim the prescription drugs and other treatments offered by veterinarians and dermatologists alike don’t work, or only provide minimal or temporary help. 

Many victims of this insidious mite claim that the infestations, along with all of the nasty symptoms, often return with a vengeance even after great care has been taken to use the treatments properly on both pets and humans in the household.  

Online, you’ll find dozens of stories from people who have spent thousands of dollars with veterinarians (in the case of pets) or with dermatologists (in the case of human infestation), often to no avail. 

So a Cheyletiella mite infestation is definitely not very fun. 

But thankfully, there’s a simple, all-natural solution to Cheyletiella mite infestations. And many people are apparently using it with great success.  Interestingly, colloidal silver plays a prominent role.  Let’s take a look at what some people are saying…

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue!

According to a post on EarthClinic.com – which, by the way, is one of my favorite natural health websites where people write in and explain their symptoms and then get tips from other readers on natural remedies that have worked for them – a simple mixture of colloidal silver and liquid coconut oil is all it takes to get rid of Cheyletellia mites.  Here’s a condensed version of the post:

“My dog had an infestation of Cheyletiella mites. I also ended up with them, and my life was sheer hell for several months. I went to three different doctors, who at best only offered me creams to help with the itching.

…I did a great deal of research and I tried just about every remedy I could find on the internet. Some helped, but nothing seemed to entirely rid me of these things.

I had been prescribed Ivermectin [a drug used to treat worm and parasite infections – ED] and the doctors couldn't guarantee it would work and I was reluctant to take it, but at the same time desperate.

There was one thing yet that I had read worked for someone with scabies that I hadn't tried…This person had cured her scabies with colloidal silver.

So I mixed 2 ozs. of virgin coconut oil with 2 ml of 10ppm colloidal silver. The coconut oil needs to be melted and melts at a very low temperature.

I put the coconut oil and colloidal silver in a plastic bottle made for hair dyes and shook it to make sure it was mixed well, and applied it directly on my skin from head to toe. Within two hours I could tell that the mites had died.

…My daughter-in-law is getting her degree in environmental science and she told me the reason that the colloidal silver worked is that small particles of metal penetrate through the shell of the mite. Once the shell is penetrated the mites dry up and die.

Coconut oil is very close to your own natural oil (sebum) and therefore is absorbed by your skin. So as it penetrates your skin it will reach anything that burrows underneath your skin carrying with it the silver.

The beauty of coconut oil with the Cheyletiella mite is that it lives on sebum and dead skin and I assume it ends up eating the coconut oil and silver particles. Any new bites I've had, they die almost immediately.

Both the coconut oil and colloidal silver have antimicrobial benefits which kills any infection the mites carry and aids in healing.

…It's also safe for pets and only one application cleared the dog as well.

…I have found that washing clothes and the dogs bedding in hot water and borax helped a great deal. I use a floor steam cleaner on my mattress and pillows, the carpet, etc. Vacuum often!!!

In cold weather, spend a little extra for better air filters on your heating system as these things are also air bound and jump.

I hope this helps anyone who is enduring the same nightmare as I have.”

So we see here that 2 ounces of virgin coconut oil mixed with 2 ml (about one-half teaspoon) of 10ppm colloidal silver, applied to the skin “from head to toe” and left on the skin for two hours solved the problem for this now very happy lady who had suffered for several months with a Cheyletellia mite infestation after catching it from her dog. 

Later, another individual posted that she too had been suffering from a Cheyletiella mite infection, for an astonishing eight years.  She wrote:

“Hi!! I have suffered with Cheyletiella mites for 8 years now. I know it's this cause I had a biopsy done and came back with this mite. Of course the only thing the dermatologist said was ‘get rid of your dogs.’

We had the dogs tested and it came back that they were clear. We have tried everything from flea spays to pesticides from the vet…Nothing has worked for me.

8 years of bites and feeling like there are bugs crawling on me all the time. I have been going out of my mind with itching and the mental state of crawlers all over me. I look like I have some terrible disease.

I came across your site.  My husband has gone out and bought the coconut oil and colloidal silver and I’m gonna try it. I will let you know the outcome....”

A few hours later, the same lady then posted again:

So it's been 2 hours now and this solution seems to be working

...When I first applied it, it felt like the mites were running from the top of my head to my waistline. It was a most disgusting feeling...

And it seemed like they were in a hurry to bite me, cause I ended up with a few bites on my face, neck and behind my ears. And now after 2 hours the process has slowed down considerably.... :)

I will re-apply tomorrow and keep applying till I am itch-free and creepy-crawly free.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS ARTICLE!!!!”

The next day, the same lady posted again:

“I am happy to report that last night was the first night in a long time that I had a good night sleep.

Woke up this morning to only 1 bite under my chin, rather than 10 to 12 bites all over.

Will keep you posted!!! A very happy person this morning...”

The very next day, she posted again:

“Day 2.... Again another fantastic sleep, before bed last night I took some solution and applied it to my scalp and upper torso and went to bed. Again woke up with only 1 bite... And very little itching.

All already existing sores are healing up nicely and looks like they are all drying out.... makes me one happy girl.

I also applied some to my black lab x newfie head and rump area. This morning the tops of her hair is white, nothing is moving, but it looks like they took off from the scalp to the ends on her hair.

She is going to the groomers and getting a bath in it. Seeing all this is working I am also gonna purchase the natural stuff (orally) for my doggies....:)

Have you ever thought of making the mixture and marketing it to vets?? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”

Another individual, this one from New Zealand, says her dogs suffered from Cheyletiella mite infestations for years, until she tried the colloidal silver and coconut oil remedy.  She wrote:

“I have just tried the recipe on my two boxer dogs. Thankfully I don't suffer from the complaint. Within minutes of applying the solution I can clearly see dead white critters everywhere on their coats. It is amazing.

I only applied it right along their backs and shoulders as that appears to be where they are concentrated. We now have a wonderful licking regime going on where they're cleaning each other.

I might be premature but so far I am really encouraged since I've been fighting a losing battle with these wee critters for years.

I've tried everything and the results are only temporary. Hopefully it’s no more chemicals from here on in. Thank you so much for sharing this information with everyone.”

And finally, another woman who had treated her dogs for fleas, at first, only to find out later that they actually had Cheyletellia mites, wrote:

“I thought the fleas and treatments had left them with dry skin until 2 days ago when I took out my magnifying glass to inspect all pet beds after my pets were scratching even more and each showed dandruff after being brushed.

I saw those ugly creepy crawlers and nearly had a break down. I searched online and found the link to your post.

I immediately went and bought Colloidal Silver and Coconut Oil. I sprayed the dogs with it, which they didn't enjoy, and now I know why. The white mites and also brownish black ones surfaced. There were hundreds of them. The mixture KILLED them!

...thank you so much for sharing your mite recipe!”

So there you have it.  Two ounces of virgin coconut oil mixed with two mL (about half a teaspoon) of 10 ppm colloidal silver, applied to the skin and scalp “from head-to-toe” appears to kill Cheyletiella mite infestations in both humans and pets. 

What If It Doesn’t Work?

To be fair, there were a couple of people on the EarthClinic.com page mentioned above who said the colloidal silver and coconut oil mixture did not work for them. 

But when you consider the propensity for this mite to be able to infest everything from bedding to furniture to carpeting (even laying eggs in the fabric, which can later hatch and re-infest the host), then perhaps repeated applications would be necessary for some folks. 

Personally, if I had a Cheyletiella mite infestation, I’d probably consider using a stronger concentration of colloidal silver mixed with the virgin coconut oil – maybe 20 or even 30 ppm or higher – just to make sure. 

I’d also consider doing what some people have done, and have my carpets steam-cleaned throughout the house in order to help remove any mites or their eggs that are hidden in the fabric.  I’d wash my linens and other bedding in hot soapy water for the same reason. 

And each day for perhaps several weeks or longer I’d very lightly spray straight liquid colloidal silver (i.e., without the coconut oil) on my linens and bedding, as well as on the fabric of any couches, chairs and carpeting and allow it to air dry – this, in hopes of ridding the fabric of any Cheyletiella mite “hangers on.” 

I’d also be careful to spray any pet bedding, pet mats and dog or cat housing with colloidal silver.

And I’d probably do all of this for at least several weeks, since any hidden mite eggs can take four days or longer to hatch, and the life cycle of the Cheyletiella mite, from egg to the adult form, can take as long as three to four weeks to develop. 

The point, of course, is to do what’s necessary to eradicate the mites in all potential sources of re-infestation, and to keep in mind that it might take several weeks to do so. 

One Final Thought

All of this makes me wonder if a good colloidal silver cream or gel might work just as well on the skin against Cheyletiella mites, in place of the colloidal silver and virgin coconut oil mixture. 

While I haven’t been able to find any information on this idea, online, nor in any clinical literature, it might be worth trying a good, commercial colloidal silver gel.

I’d certainly consider trying one, such as ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel (which contains 24 ppm colloidal silver) or some of the other commercial colloidal silver gels and creams described in the article Germ-Busting Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams.

Or, as another alternative, it might be worth trying to make your own colloidal silver gel using pure aloe vera, as demonstrated in the following short video titled Make Your Own Colloidal Silver Gel and Colloidal Silver Soap.    

If you try any of the ideas described in this article, be sure to go to the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community on Facebook and let us know how your experience turned out.

Colloidal Silver Stops Other
Types of Mites, As Well!

Interestingly, people claim they also use colloidal silver for scabies mites, known scientifically as Sarcoptes scabei

This is a completely different kind of mite from the Cheyletellia mite in that it tends to burrow deep underneath the skin and lay its eggs rather than simply hiding under the keratin protein layer on top of the skin to lay eggs.  As one online testimonial states: 

“I ran into a link/post that talked about colloidal silver, and that said they were rid of scabies mites in 3 days! And since I had some Silver Sinus in my medicine cabinet that also is a form of colloidal silver...I decided to try it.

I couldn't believe my eyes that in the spot I used it on...the scabies bump was gone! I would say, I put it on the spot 2 to 3 times within a 5 hour time-frame... and the bugger was gone!!!

Needless to say, I was spraying my spots in the blink of an eye!! As of evening time the same day (today) most of the scabies/sores are cleared up!!... I can't say enough about what a miracle colloidal silver is!”

I was delighted to read the following online testimonial found on CureZone.com, in which a very happy individual apparently cured his own scabies infestation.  The individual even linked to my previous article on using colloidal silver to cure mange mites on dogs, saying, “I tried colloidal silver and it really works…If it cures mangy dogs when sprayed on, it will certainly cure scabies in humans.

Interestingly, a clinical study from Iranian researchers found that silver nanoparticles were also effective against Tetranychus uirticae.  These are spider mites, which live on the undersides of the leaves of plants and which do millions of dollars worth of crop damage annually. 

These are not spiders, but actual mites that feed off of plants rather than human skin.  They are known to quickly grow immune to standard insecticides and miticide chemicals.  So, score another point for using colloidal silver against mites!

What’s more, two clinical studies – one from South Korea and one from France -- have found that nanosilver quite effectively kills dust mites, including Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus

The French study showed a 94% control of house dust mite populations, while the Korean study showed a 99.9% reduction in the infestation of dust mites. 

So silver has a very interesting anti-mite property, it would appear.  And the people who have been experiencing healing from Cheyletiella mite infestations – whether on their pets or on their own bodies -- by using colloidal silver mixed with coconut oil might really be on to something. 

It’s high time the scientific community looks into this, as well. But then, they’d probably try to turn the mixture into a prescription “drug,” drive the price up to unbearable levels and monopolize its sales. 

Make Your Own High-Quality
Colloidal Silver for Pennies!

If you’re already familiar with colloidal silver and its usage, you know that liquid colloidal silver supplements can be very expensive -- as much as $20 to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle at most health food stores.  

That’s because colloidal silver – the world’s most powerful natural infection-fighting agent -- works so well against infections and disease, people are willing to pay through the nose to obtain it. 

Of course, a four ounce bottle of colloidal silver probably wouldn’t last but a week or so, at most, during the course of a serious Cheyletiella mite infestation.  So it can get pretty expensive when you’re having to apply it daily to the body, as well as spraying carpets, furniture and other fabrics in the home. 

But the truly good news is this:  

It’s surprisingly easy to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for about 36 cents a quart utilizing an astonishing breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology known as the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. 

Yes, I said about 36 cents a quart.  That’s just a smidgeon over a penny per ounce, compared to health food store prices of $5 to $7 an ounce!

The new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge is far more advanced than conventional colloidal silver generators you might have heard about (learn whyhere). 

Indeed, its ability to produce tiny silver micro-particles as small as .8 nm gives it a decided advantage over all other colloidal silver generators.  You see, that’s a fraction of a single nanometer in size, compared to health food store brands which can contain silver particles as large as 200 nm to 1,000 nm or larger! 

(Click here to see Transmission Electron Microscope images comparing conventional colloidal silver particles to the new micro-particle colloidal silver produced by a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.)

Even the FDA agrees that the smaller the silver particles are, the easier it is for the body to absorb them, utilize them and afterwards excrete them safely.  (See here for excerpts from the FDA National Center for Toxicological Research Annual Report in which it was clearly demonstrated that smaller silver particles are far more bio-available than larger silver particles.)

You can learn here how astonishingly inexpensive it is to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver (i.e., about a penny per ounce) with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.

Why Pay Through the Nose?

This means there’s no longer any need to pay $20 or $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver in health food stores, when you can make even higher-quality colloidal silver yourself by the quart for under 36 cents

If you think it must be difficult to make your own high-quality colloidal silver, take a quick look at this link where you’ll discover how incredibly simple it really is – so simple we have 85 year old grandmas making their own colloidal silver every day!  

Indeed, with a device that’s as simple to operate as a coffee pot (see the above photo of the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge), anyone can now make their own high-quality colloidal silver for just a few pennies per quart!

Using Colloidal Silver for Hemorrhoids

 Click here to learn to make colloidal silver...
Yikes!  Nobody likes hemorrhoids, which are often called “piles” due to the protruding inflammation so common to the condition.

The discomfort from the enlargement of rectal tissues, combined with the pain and itching (and sometimes bleeding), can border on misery.  And when a hemorrhoid doesn’t clear up on its own, the thought of a doctor surgically removing it can be…well… quite harrowing and nerve-wracking, to say the least. 

Thankfully, over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams work pretty well to tame the flame and help bring down the swelling of hemorrhoids. 

But if you don’t have any hemorrhoid cream at home, and there’s no one to run to the pharmacy to get some for you when you need it the most, that long drive to the drug store sitting on your, uh, “protrusion,” isn’t always the most comfortable thing to experience. 

Thankfully, according to many colloidal silver users, there are three different ways to use colloidal silver to clear up a mild to moderate case of hemorrhoids.  Always check with your doctor first, of course.  But here’s a quick look at what people are saying has worked for them…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

A lot of people have told me they use a good commercial colloidal silver gel or colloidal silver cream for hemorrhoids (aka “piles”), particularly when over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams aren’t available.

Others have told me they make their own colloidal silver gel or cream (see below for more details) and use it when they have hemorrhoids or other problematic skin conditions. 

In either case, they simply apply the colloidal silver gel or cream directly to the inflamed area, several times a day, just as you’d use a commercial hemorrhoid cream.    

Reducing Inflammation

Silver, of course, has been shown repeatedly to soothe and heal a wide variety of skin conditions and wounds (see here and here for numerous examples). 

But what many people don’t know is that silver has also been demonstrated to reduce inflammation such as that associated with wounds, various skin conditions and infections. 

Indeed, in one clinical study, researchers demonstrated that silver nanoparticles have the ability to reduce what’s referred to as “excessive cytokine expression,” and thus reduce unwanted inflammation that often gets in the way of healing. 

This is important news, because cytokines are signaling molecules in the body that tell the immune system to send white blood cells and other infection-fighters to the site of a wound or related problem.  This can cause mild inflammation, which is a normal part of healing. 

But…in some cases, the pro-inflammatory effects of cytokine expression can get “stuck” in high gear, so to speak.  The result can be excessive unwanted inflammation that actually becomes a roadblock to the healing process – such as in the case of chronic hemorrhoids.

Indeed, experts say excessive cytokine expression can be a real problem in chronic hemorrhoids, which is to say, hemorrhoids lasting more than two or three days.

As one website for a commercial, over-the-counter hemorrhoid product states: 

Multiple anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines are liberated on the piles surface, with a shift over time towards the predominance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to a persisting condition.

Therefore, an ideal hemorrhoid treatment should neutralize the pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce the edema” [i.e. the swelling/inflammation – ED].

In other words, the best way to treat piles (i.e., hemorrhoids) is to do something to help stop the excessive inflammation caused by pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. 

That’s fascinating, because, as the research cited earlier has shown, that’s exactly what antimicrobial silver does. 

Indeed, researchers have demonstrated that in such cases, antimicrobial silver has a modulating (or calming) effect on cytokine expression, resulting in both reduced inflammation and increased speed of healing.

According to the authors of the above-mentioned study:

"It has been shown in vivo that silver nanoparticles act to decrease inflammation through cytokine modulation."

What’s more, the study authors concluded, “These experimental data suggest that nano-silver could be used to treat immunologic and inflammatory diseases.” 

Here’s an excerpt from an article summarizing the results of the study:

Silver has for centuries been used to treat and prevent infection, and its wound-healing properties are well known…

…But the 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.”

That’s precisely what’s often needed when hemorrhoids erupt and won’t go away on their own. 

3 Ways People Are Using Colloidal Silver
To Help Their Body Heal Hemorrhoids

There are three basic ways colloidal silver can be used to help the body heal hemorrhoids: 

1.)  Application of a topical colloidal silver gel

2.)  Application of a bath cloth soaked in liquid colloidal silver

3.)  Colloidal silver used in a “sitz bath.” 

Here are the details for each:

Topical Colloidal Silver Gel

You can always purchase a good commercial colloidal silver gel, such as ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel (contains 24 ppm colloidal silver), which is usually available relatively inexpensively on Amazon.com or at SwansonVitamins.com. 

You can learn about other good, widely available commercial colloidal silver gels and creams in the article, Germ-Busting Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams.

Caveat:  While the manufacturers of such products do not market them for use in place of over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams, anecdotal accounts demonstrate that they do indeed work just as well or even better

The colloidal silver gel is preferred for hemorrhoids over purely liquid colloidal silver products, because the gel tends to keep the silver in touch with the affected area longer than simply applying liquid colloidal silver can. 

Most ardent colloidal silver users I know make their own colloidal silver gel by mixing liquid colloidal silver into a pure aloe vera gel product.  

To learn one of the easiest ways to make your own topical colloidal silver gel, instead of buying commercial colloidal silver gels, see this short video titled Making Your Own Colloidal Silver Gel and Colloidal Silver Soap

Or, read further to learn how one reader solved her hemorrhoid problems by making her own colloidal silver gel using a hand-held blender.

If you can't afford a good commercial colloidal silver gel or cream, or don't want to take the time to make your own, there are still two more options you can try, which many people claim have worked wonders for them:

Bath Cloth Soaked in Colloidal Silver

One, you can soak a bath cloth in 10 ppm or higher colloidal silver, and apply it topically while soaking wet to the inflamed rectal area, leaving it on for 15 or 20 minutes at a time, three or four times a day to obtain relief from the swollen tissues.

“Sitz Bath” Technique

Or, two, you can use a colloidal silver "sitz bath." 

That's where you fill a small pot called a "sitz pot" (usually available in drug stores) with warm water.  The small pot actually fits over your toilet bowl.  You then sit on it, allowing the affected area of the rectum to be submerged into the soothing warm water.

But here’s the key:  Most people tell me that for hemorrhoids, they add four or five ounces of colloidal silver to the sitz bath water in order to increase the rate of healing. 

If you have a colloidal silver generator to make your own colloidal silver inexpesively, you could even experiment with using straight colloidal silver in the sitz bath, rather than mixing colloidal silver into warm water.

But based on anecdotal accounts, a good colloidal silver gel or cream seems to work best.  Again, that’s because the gel (or cream) tends to keep the silver in direct touch with affected area of the skin much longer than you could using either of the two alternative methods described above. 

How One Intrepid Colloidal Silver User
Solved Her Hemorrhoid Problems

Here's what one lady who makes her own colloidal silver gel wrote about its virtually immediate effects on her hemorrhoids (she mentions using it on hemorrhoids at the very end):

"Not long after purchasing the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, I was watching one of your videos on making colloidal silver gel and I decided to try it out for myself.

I poured equal parts 20 ppm colloidal silver and 100 percent Aloe Vera Gel into a bowl (1/4 cup of each), mixed it together with an electric handheld blender and began applying it as an antiseptic ointment to cuts, scratches and insect bites.

Because I have several grandchildren who spend time with me during the summer, it wasn't long before my first batch was gone.

I was contemplating making a new batch when I got to wondering what, if anything, colloidal silver could do to help the athlete's foot problem I'd been battling with no relief for over 20 years. So as soon as the new batch was made, I rubbed some of it on my feet.

I used it on my feet twice daily for two weeks. Then one of life's interruptions occurred and I had to leave my home for a few weeks. I forgot to take the gel with me and so was forced to stop the daily application.

Mentally preoccupied with the interruption, it was nearly a month before I noticed my feet as I was taking my socks off one day. Where they had been rough, with deep, often bleeding, cracks in the heels, they were now soft and smooth.

Even though I was back home by now, I hadn't started applying the gel daily again so what I was seeing was a residual effect.

As I sat there staring at my feet in awe, I realized that I couldn't even remember the last time they'd itched, which had been a daily problem before. And there were no signs of the red bumps and little blisters that so often accompany athlete's foot.

My feet, in fact, looked as if I'd never experienced the problem at all, and this after 20 years of fighting it and after having only applied the gel for two weeks and no longer.

It has been a year now since I was troubled with athlete's foot. I never have to apply the gel anymore because there are never any signs of the athlete's foot fungus returning. My feet are still smooth, soft and wonderfully itch-free.

Delighted with the outcome, I decided to start experimenting using the gel on other things.

I began applying it every morning after washing my face and discovered that it worked wonderfully well, not only leaving my skin soft and fresh feeling, but also putting an abrupt end to those little acne flare-ups that sometimes happen no matter how old we get.

"I also began using it as a deodorant, too, and realized I'd never had a better one. Not only did it leave me feeling fresh all day long, even if I forgot to apply it, there was no problem with odor. Like when I applied the gel to my feet, it seemed to have a residual effect as a deodorant, too.

"When I was bothered by hemorrhoids, I decided to try the colloidal silver gel and noticed almost instant relief."

Another woman wrote in to explain how her daughter, who had just given birth to her first child at home, was using colloidal silver during and after the birthing process.  In part, she wrote:

My daughter also used plenty of colloidal silver in the water of the birthing pool, and after the birth of the baby for the cord…and later for the treatment of the baby's umbilical area, and for washing the baby.

She continues to use colloidal silver for the baby, from umbilical care to skin rashes. It works like a charm.

She also used it for personal care and cleaning, and says it worked WONDERS for hemorrhoids.” 

Interestingly, a 2009 clinical white paper by J. Wesley Alexander, published in the journal Surgical Infections, and titled History of the Medical Use of Silver, states that, historically speaking, silver has been used for the treatment of conditions such as “hemorrhoids, dandruff, and warts.”  

The author of the white paper is careful to note that no clinical medical evidence exists for the use of silver for those particular health conditions.  Yet in spite of the lack of clinical evidence, silver has nevertheless gained a reputation as a reliable treatment for those conditions.    

And why isn’t there any clinical medical evidence to support the use of colloidal silver for hemorrhoids, dandruff and warts? 

I don’t know.  You’d think by now medical science would catch on to what experienced colloidal silver users have known for decades. 

But unfortunately, medical science is so often wrapped up in attempting to create novel, or new medications that can be patented and monopolized, it misses what’s been right in front of its nose all along.    

The bottom line is that experienced colloidal silver users know it works to heal the pain, itching and inflammation associated with hemorrhoids and other skin conditions.  And now you know it, too!

One Final Important Thought…

If you’re new to colloidal silver usage and are wondering where to buy it, it’s important to know that you can find it in just about any well-stocked health food store in America.  

It’s also available on Amazon, or at online stores like SwansonVitamins.com.  But it can be extremely expensive.

In fact, because it works so well against numerous forms of infection and disease, colloidal silver has the highest price mark-up of any nutritional supplement in existence. 

Indeed, the amount of actual silver in a typical four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver is about five to 12 cents worth.  (Yes, I said five to twelve cents.)  Yet the manufacturers mark that up a whopping 60,000%, charging $20 or $30 per bottle.

People are willing to pay through the nose for colloidal silver at health food stores because it’s safe and completely natural, and it heals infections (like colds, flu, sore throats) and prevents the spread of germs and disease faster and better than just about anything else on the planet.  Plus, it heals skin conditions like magic (see here and here). 

So, commercially speaking, the retail price of colloidal silver at health food stores reflects its value to the consumer far more so than its true cost to produce.

But here’s the good news

With a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you can make your own safe, pure, high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for about 36 cents a quart!

In other words, you can make it for about the same price the big colloidal silver manufacturers make it for, but skip the outrageous mark-ups they tend to charge once their products reach the health food stores. 

Indeed, compared to typical health food store prices of $20 to $30 for a tiny 4-oz. bottle, the very first one-quart batch you make with a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator literally pays for the entire cost of your new generator! 

Do you know of any other product that literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?  The savings are absolutely astonishing, as you’ll see below!

In fact, by making your own high-quality colloidal silver with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you’ll be as close to having FREE colloidal silver as you can get, for the rest of your life!

You'll never have to pay those exorbitant health food store prices again!

The new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator is now the world's #1 most popular home colloidal silver generator. Here are just a few reasons why you should own one:
  • It pays for itself after your very first batch - your total cost to make your first quart is about 36 cents, compared to the $240 you'd pay at a health food store if you bought an equivalent amount (i.e., eight of those little 4-ounce bottles they normally sell for $30 apiece)!
  • Safe, simple to operate...No special skills needed…You just set the handy timer, plug it in, walk away, and three hours later you have a perfect batch of therapeutic quality micro-particle colloidal silver…every time!  Here’s a short pictorial demonstrating how astonishingly easy it is to use a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.
  • Produces uncommonly small silver micro-particles as low as .8 nm. That's a fraction of a single nanometer. Compare that to health food store colloidal silver which can contain silver particles as large as 200 nm (or even larger), and you'll see why micro-particle colloidal silver is the very best there is!  Smaller particles mean your body can absorb and utilize up to 99% of the colloidal silver you take, compared to maybe 40% or 50% or less with many health food store brands!
  • Runs on standard household electricity, but uses less power than a tiny Christmas tree bulb - you won't even see a blip on your electric bill!
  • Produces uniform, crystal clear batches every single time that store for months, or even years, without losing potency!
  • Cannot produce silver chloride or unsafe substances - you get pure, therapeutic-quality micro-particle colloidal silver every time! 
Just read through some of the testimonials below to see for yourself how you'll save literally thousands of dollars per year by making your own colloidal silver with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge!

Here’s what one customer recently wrote to tell us:

“Your Colloidal Silver Machine is the
Single-Best Money-Saving Appliance in My House!”

"Owning a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge has given us the luxury of being able to use high-quality colloidal silver any time we need it.

And we never have to worry about the costs because it’s only a few pennies per quart to make!  It’s without a doubt the single-best money-saving appliance in my entire house!


Best of all, the machine is very easy to use, and easy to store. I was concerned about ease-of-use, but my fears were unfounded. After I got my generator, and used it, I immediately bought one and sent it to my 83 year old mom, and she uses it regularly as well.

Now that I have a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, I can use colloidal silver for everything – not just for resolving colds, flu, sore throats, earaches, eye infections , food poisoning and more, but also for disinfecting my kitchen sink, countertops, and the cutting board… spraying the toilet bowls, and the bathroom countertops and sinks… spraying it on my toothbrush to prevent bacterial growth…rinsing my mouth with it to prevent cavities and gum disease…you name it.

I even put it in the laundry rinse cycle when I do the family linens, towels and kitchen rags, so I don't have to wash them as frequently as I used to.  It really keeps them fresh.  And because I use colloidal silver as a household disinfectant, there's never any mold or mildew anywhere in our house.

I also put some in the cat's water bowl each day, and the dog's water bowl too.  And their health and been fabulous as a result. 

We use it in the bathtub for skin problems.  And of course we drink it when our tummies are queasy, or when we feel a cold or flu coming on.  We also gargle with it in order to get rid of sore throats, and sniff it up our noses to get rid of sinus infections.

My husband even sprays it on his hair in the mornings, and has completely eliminated his lifelong dandruff problem.  And he sprays a little bit in his eyes from time to time, and now has no more recurrent problems with sties.

Here’s what another happy customer wrote to say about the tremendous savings she’s achieved by no longer having to purchase her colloidal silver through health food stores:

"We’ve Saved Thousands of Dollars A Year
Thanks to Your Colloidal Silver Generator!"

"We make a quart of colloidal silver at least once a week with the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from the Silver Edge.

I finally sat down and figured out how much this machine has been saving us. By making our own colloidal silver we've saved $11,503.20 this year alone, compared to the cost of colloidal silver at our local health food store.

The cost for colloidal silver at our local health food store is $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle.  But with my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, I can make eight times that amount (i.e., a full quart) for about 35 cents total cost.

If I were to purchase a quart of colloidal silver at the health food store, which would be eight of those tiny, four-ounce bottles, the cost would be a whopping $240 (i.e., 8 x $30 = $240) compared to the 35 cents I now spend to make a full quart with my colloidal silver generator!

This means we save about $239.65 a week by not having to purchase a quart’s worth of colloidal silver at our local health food store.

So do the math: In just one month, the savings is $958.60…in one year, the savings is $11,503.20…and in the five years we’ve owned our Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator we’ve saved approximately $57,516.00!

When you put pencil to paper and figure it out, it definitely takes you by surprise. You just think "No way. I must have multiplied that wrong."

But it's true. The savings are legitimately well over $11,000 a year compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, if you make and use a quart of colloidal silver a week like we do!

And we reap that incredible savings from the very reasonable $250 investment we made in purchasing our Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

Of course, once you start making your own colloidal silver with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, you don't really think about how much you're saving compared to health food store prices, because it just becomes a normal part of your everyday life. But the savings are nevertheless astonishing when you reflect on them.

What's especially nice is being able to produce a significantly higher-quality colloidal silver than what's generally available to the public through health food stores, especially at such a tiny, tiny fraction of the cost."

-- Marie Wilkey, SC
