Silver-Laced Bacteria Big Pharma’s New Wonder Drug?

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
Of all of the ridiculous things I’ve heard in recent years, this one continues to take the cake.

Clinical researchers are still working to develop a new antibiotic drug based on dead bacteria laced with silver particles. 

Sound appetizing?  Of course not.  Yet this is how desperate Big Pharma is to come up with a “novel” silver-based drug they can patent and monopolize, and make billions of dollars on in place of their failing antibiotic drugs. 

Why not just use safe, natural colloidal silver?  Here’s the answer…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

Several years ago I wrote an article titled “New Silver-Based Franken-Drug v/s Safe, Natural Colloidal Silver.”

In that article I described a new “drug” under development by British scientists working in tandem with the big pharmaceutical companies Janssen and Johnson & Johnson. 

The new “drug” was basically composed of harmless intestinal bacteria that were purposely impregnated with tiny silver nanoparticles.

The British researchers claimed their initial results demonstrated that the new “drug,” when used internally, could wipe out food poisoning viruses such as the dreaded norovirus, and when used as a nasal spray could perhaps even kill cold and flu viruses as well.

Ridiculous “Novel” Drugs

Naturally, in my previous article I commented that the whole idea of ingesting or inhaling dead bacteria laced with silver particles was utterly ridiculous.  After all, safe, natural colloidal silver could have been used alone to achieve the same infection-fighting purpose.  There’s no need whatsoever to attach the silver particles to dead bacteria.

But colloidal silver cannot be patented and monopolized as a “drug.”  So Big Pharma realized they need to create something “novel,” meaning something brand new and out-of-the-ordinary that they can patent and thereby monopolize its sales. 

Hence, their need to do astonishingly ridiculous things like combine bacteria with silver nanoparticles in order to create a “novel” treatment that can be patented as a “drug” and sold for huge profits.

Fast-Forward to Today:
Bacteria/Silver Chicken Feed

Now, in an article titled “Can Ancient Bacteria and Silver Protect Poultry?” we find that Russian researchers are continuing this new line of “drug” development. 

According to the article, an ancient bacteria called Bacullius F has been discovered in the Siberian permafrost. 

Scientists believe the Bacullius F bacteria is some 3.5 million years old, and has been “hibernating” so to speak under the cold Siberian permafrost before being discovered by scientists.

And what are they doing with this ancient bacteria?  According to the article:

In testing, Bacullius F is being combined with colloidal silver (silver particles suspended in liquid) and put on chicken feed with the hope of reducing the amount of antibiotics currently fed to poultry.”

Umm.  Yummy, huh?  More bacteria-laced silver.  And this time it’s going into chicken feed.  The article goes on to state:

Tests on laboratory mice and preliminary tests on chickens look promising, says Andrei Subbotin, leading researcher for Tyumen Scientific Center…He says that the drug will be tested in a large-scale study at several poultry farms by the Ural Federal Districts of Russia in the coming years.

So far, tests show that the injection of Bacillius F and silver has spurred weight gain and raised the ability of trial animals to fend off pathogens such as salmonella or MRSA.

Commenting on the ongoing tests, a project representative stated: ‘We expect a decrease of antibiotics use in poultry by 30-40% compared to the current amount. This will be a substantial contribution to the fight of modern medicine against growing microbial resistance.’”

Isn’t that fascinating? 

Rather than simply adding plain old colloidal silver to the chicken feed, the researchers are now adding bacteria laced with silver to the chicken feed.  That way, they can claim it’s a “novel drug,” patent it, and monopolize its sale as a new “veterinary drug.” 

Why They Need this New “Drug”

Why do they need a new “drug” to feed to farm animals? 

Because the big pharmaceutical companies have been under fire worldwide for the astonishingly huge amount of antibiotic drugs being fed to farm animals such as chickens, pigs, cows and others. 

Indeed, some 80% of total annual antibiotic drug production goes to farm animal usage, and not human usage. 

That’s some 13 million tons of antibiotic drugs per year in the U.S. alone, and tens of millions of tons more worldwide – more than four times the amount of antibiotic drugs prescribed for human use each year!

Here’s the mind-blowing thing about it:

These antibiotic drugs are not being fed to the farm animals to help prevent infection. 

Instead, the antibiotic drugs are being fed to the farm animals because they trigger massive weight gain in very short periods of time, allowing farmers to get the meat to market faster and make more money.

The problem, however, is that the astonishingly huge amounts of antibiotic drugs being fed to farm animals to fatten them up is causing drug-resistant pathogens to develop – yes, the same drug-resistant superbugs you read about all of the time, and that sources like the World Health Organization claim are going to cause an apocalypse of antibiotic-resistant infections. 

You see, as I pointed out in a previous article titled “Colloidal Silver and the Antibiotic-Resistant Superbug Swindle,” these antibiotic drugs are then passed on to each and every one of us in very small amounts every time we eat meat -- which for most of us is every single day

In that article, I explained:

“As a result, these constant low levels of antibiotic drugs we unwittingly ingest each day begin to kill off the weak bacteria in our bodies on a regular basis, leaving only the strongest bacteria to survive. 

Over time, these strong bacteria become resistant to antibiotics altogether.  So when we ultimately come down with an infection, and are given antibiotic drugs to combat it, the drugs don’t work. 

Not only that, but the low-dose antibiotics we’re ingesting through our breakfast, lunch and dinner meats slowly kill off the good bacteria (i.e., probiotics) our digestion depends upon, leaving a huge void for the antibiotic-resistant pathogens to step in and fill, which of course, they do.”

So there you have it. 

Researchers around the world are scrambling to find a way to stop giving so much antibiotic drugs to farm animals, because they know those antibiotic drugs are the cause of the plague of antibiotic-resistant superbugs now sweeping the world and actually threatening humanity. 

The Utter Hypocrisy of It All

Of course, farmers could just add colloidal silver to the feed of farm animals, instead of antibiotic drugs. 

After all, numerous clinical studies now demonstrate that colloidal silver quite easily vanquishes drug-resistant superbugs (see “Colloidal Silver Vanquishes Drug-Resistant Superbugs” at this link.)

Indeed, one clinical study demonstrated that colloidal silver kills 49 different strains of antibiotic-resistant superbugs with ease, including:
  • Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium
  • Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus
  • Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Multidrug-resistant Vibrio sp
  • Drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia
  • Drug-resistant Escherichia coli
  • Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacterbaumannii
  • And 42 others
So there’s absolutely no need whatsoever to impregnate bacteria with silver particles, and then add the silver-impregnated bacteria to the farm animal feed.  Safe, natural colloidal silver could be used by itself, and do the job handily.

But researchers know that colloidal silver by itself cannot be patented and monopolized as a “drug,” because it’s completely natural and has been around for over 100 years – even before the advent of prescription antibiotic drugs.

So instead of simply adding colloidal silver to farm animal feed, researchers are now working to find a way to make a “novel” form of silver they can patent and monopolize as a “drug” specifically for use in farm animal feed.

And impregnating some weird ancient bacteria from the Russian permafrost with silver nanoparticles is apparently their plan.

To add to the utter hypocrisy of the whole issue, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration won’t allow American farmers to simply add colloidal silver to their farm animal feed in place of antibiotic drugs (see the article “FDA Warns Against the Use of Colloidal Silver for Farm Animals”).

And why?  Because they claim it’s a “potentially serious public health concern because of the possibility of [silver] residues in milk or meat.” 

Ridiculous, right? 

Farmers can’t add colloidal silver to their animal feed in place of antibiotic drugs because it might leave silver residues in the milk or meat.  But if Big Pharma comes out with a new silver-based “drug” to feed to farm animals in place of antibiotic drugs, that’s apparently perfectly okay.

The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife.  And I won’t even go into the potential ramifications of feeding farm animals dead bacteria that contain numerous toxins – especially some strange bacteria that’s supposedly 3.5 million years old and was found hibernating in the Siberian permafrost!

Make Your Own Colloidal Silver

Meanwhile, the best thing we can do to protect ourselves against drug-resistant superbugs and other infectious microorganisms is to keep safe, natural colloidal silver on hand at all times.

Let Big Pharma continue to develop their weird silver-based franken-drugs.  It’s inevitable they’ll come out with one sooner or later, thanks to the antibiotic-resistant superbug crisis they’ve caused in the first place.

But in the meantime, we can all take advantage of the astonishing infection-fighting qualities of safe, natural colloidal silver

And when Big Pharma finally comes out with their first silver-based antibiotic drug, we can laugh at the hypocrisy of it all, and let people pay through the nose for the new “drug” if they want to. 

My guess, however, is that once the new silver-based “drug” is finally released here in the U.S. the medical authorities will ultimately ban the sale of safe, natural colloidal silver in order to force people to turn to the drug, instead.

After all, European medical authorities have already banned the sale of colloidal silver for internal ingestion several years back (see here), though it’s still sold there as a “water disinfectant” as long as it’s labeled “not for human consumption.” 

What’s more, the U.S. FDA has already signaled their intentions to adopt European-style supplement regulations in what they call a “harmonization” of regulations.

This means the most important thing you can do right now is learn how to make your own high-quality colloidal silver at home.

And the very best way in the world is to obtain a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.  Here’s what I’m talking about…

Learn to Make Your Own Colloidal Silver

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
With a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.

Yes, that’s right -- less than 36 cents a quart!

At normal health food store prices, a quart of colloidal silver would usually cost you as much as $240.  But you can make that same quart for less than 36 cents with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. 

In other words, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the entire cost the generator. 

Do you know of any other health product that literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?

Making your own high-quality colloidal silver at home for just a few pennies per quart allows you to dramatically expand your range of uses far above and beyond what you’d be able to use colloidal silver for if you had to pay $20 to $30 for those tiny four-ounce bottles in health food stores. 

4 Simple Steps to
Colloidal Silver-Making Perfection!

 What’s more, colloidal silver is so simple to make at home, anyone who can use a coffee pot has all the skill needed to make colloidal silver.  Let me demonstrate for you how amazingly simple it is:

1.) Just plug the two pure .999 fine silver rods into the two jacks in the bottom of the generator box, one on each side of the bubbler tube.

2.)  Sit the generator box on top of a one-quart glass jar full of pure steam-distilled water, so that the two silver rods and the bubbler tube are immersed in the water.

3.) Set the handy appliance timer for three hours, and plug it into any convenient grounded household electrical outlet.

4.) Plug the generator into the timer and then turn the timer wheel clockwise until you hear the generator start bubbling. The generator will shut off automatically after three hours.

It’s really that easy! You just “Set it, and forget it.” And you get a perfect batch of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver every time!

When you’re finished, you’ll have a full quart of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver.  And you can make quart after quart for the rest of your life, for less than 36 cents each! 

Indeed, the set of pure .999 fine silver wire that comes with your generator is enough to make over $24,000 worth of colloidal silver (see here)!  Each set lasts at least a full year. And you can purchase additional sets of the pure silver wire for about $35 (depending upon the cost of pure silver at the time you order). 

Why should you ever again pay $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver at the health food store, when you can make your own superior-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for just a few pennies per quart?

When you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver that inexpensively, you can afford to use it for a myriad of other beneficial uses, including:

…in the aquarium to help heal and prevent tropical fish infections

…or in your hot tub or spa (safely replaces toxic chlorine and bromine)

…or for just about every kind of pet health problem imaginable


…as a safe, natural mouthwash



…or even as a safe, natural, non-toxic household disinfectant

And It’s Nearly FREE,
for the Rest of Your Life!

Obviously, having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for only a few pennies per quart is about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one needs it. 

And because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of a single nanometer – their effectiveness against colonies of pathogenic microbes is astonishing. 

Perhaps that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the effectiveness of their homemade micro-particle colloidal silver, as you can see at this web page full of real-life colloidal silver success stories.

Colloidal Silver’s Astonishing Infection-Fighting Qualities

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
If you’re curious about why so many people use colloidal silver to fight infections and disease, here’s the article you need to read first. 

You’ll discover colloidal silver’s long history of use in medicine, dating back to before the time of Christ. 

And you’ll learn how people have been using colloidal silver to heal an impressive array of infections and disease including upper respiratory infections like colds, flu, bronchitis and pneumonia, plus eye infections, ear infections, teeth and gum infections, sinus infections, viral infections, food poisoning and much more!

Here’s what you need to know…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

Colloidal silver is most often used for its profound 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 already using silver to combat infectious diseases. 

They didn’t know the cause of the disease.  But they knew silver was the cure

They knew empirically – which is to say, by simple observation – that silver healed diseases modern science now knows to be caused by pathogenic microbes.
 
How People Use Colloidal Silver

Here’s a small handful of anecdotal accounts that will give you a good idea of the many ways people use colloidal silver to heal infection and disease:

Stopped Eye Infection
and Yellowish Pus Discharge!

I had an eye infection starting. My right eye was red, itchy and had a bit of yellowish discharge. There was a small boil right on the eyelid.

So I dunked my eye into some colloidal silver water several times over the course of the evening. The next morning the pus and redness was gone but the boil was still there. So that day I dunked my eye every hour and drank several ounces 3 times. The next day everything was absolutely normal…no redness, no pus, no boil.

I have given the colloidal silver water to a friend who suffers from extreme tinnitus. The tinnitus disappears after drinking an ounce a day for about a week. When the colloidal silver water is stopped the tinnitus returns gradually after about a week.

This has been tried about 4 times and each time the tinnitus stops and stays away as long as the water is consumed daily and returns when the water is no longer consumed.” 

-- B.D., Kelowna, BC, Canada

Saved My Tooth, and Healed
a Bad Case of Pink Eye, Too! 

“I use colloidal silver when I have a health challenge that I believe is related to a virus or bacteria.  Several years ago I had an infection in my tooth that hurt so bad that I couldn't touch it without pain. I just used about a teaspoon of silver twice a day. In a day or two the pain had lessened. Not only did the pain go away but I was able to save the tooth.

I've also used the colloidal silver for a bad case of Pink Eye. It was so bad my whole face was swelling up & my daughter who is an ophthalmologist said I needed to go into the doctor's office right away. I just added a couple of drops of the silver into my eye every 30 minutes or so until it was on the mend, which was a couple of days.

I also use it whenever I'm coming down with a cold or sore throat. I don't even measure it. I just take a couple of full droppers about 3 or 4 times a day. I keep using it until I feel better.
”  -- M. Jansen, Scottsdale, AZ

My Teeth and Gum Health
Have Improved Dramatically

“Since I have been spraying my gums after brushing my gums have improved greatly. I get regular dental care, brush regularly, but do not floss as much as I should.

My dental hygienist was amazed at the improvement in my gum's health. I had a gap at the back of a crown, and my gums have 'grown' back enough to cover the gap completely!”

– Steve C., Toronto, Canada

Stopped Cancer Growth

A friend of mine's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in Florida. Before starting any treatments, the oncologists wanted to wait and see how quickly or slowly it would develop so they could choose the best of allopathic treatments for it.

Her husband, my friend, called me immediately after diagnosis, and I told him we were not going to wait one more second to work on helping her. Her mother had died previously from breast cancer so she was very fearful of what might happen to her.

I have a lot of different alternative protocols for going after different types of cancer. Because these folks were used to "regular" medical doctors and allopathic philosophy, I chose two simple forms of "treatment' because I didn't want to overload their circuits with an abundance of possible protocols.

I suggested that she use the 7-10 ppm colloidal silver water and drink it often in between meals on a daily basis - a few ounces at a time.

I also suggested she purchase Flor*Essence tea (the best formula of Essiac tea that I'm aware of) and with 2 ounces of stove-top heated (not micro-waved) pure spring water (no chlorinated water whatsoever!) or distilled water, mix with 2 ounces of Flor*Essence tea and drink that an hour before each meal and before retiring. She adopted those two protocols religiously and with great discipline followed it for six months.

In six months, she returned to her oncologist for scans and possible treatment. To his and her surprise, the cancer was gone. The oncologist told her: "I don't know what you're doing, but keep doing it

Cured My Son’s Mononucleosis

Colloidal Silver has been a Godsend to my family. Aside from taking care of flu and colds it cured my son of mononucleosis, which the doctor had told us there was no cure for.

I researched it on the internet and what I discovered was that Colloidal Silver would cure mono. I had been at a health food store and saw a bottle of Colloidal Silver on the shelf. I asked what this was good for, and the store clerk told me if you feel a cold or flu coming on then drink half the bottle and it would knock it out.

I purchased it and put it in my medicine cabinet and forgot about it. When my son came down with mono and I researched it I started giving him 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1 at night. Within 3 days he was fine. This sold me on the product.

I was starting to feel bad around the same time and none of my old remedies were working. So I tried Colloidal Silver also. I took the same amounts day and night and it worked like magic.

After that I purchased my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator and the rest is history. My family has not been sick since

I No Longer Need the Antibiotics
for My Sinus Allergies

“My name is Jerry and I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area which has been called the allergy center of the world. I’m sure other places have adopted the same label, but regardless I would regularly miss a week’s work each spring and fall due to allergies.

Usually my Doctor would prescribe a Z-Pack to get me going again. Even after I retired I continued to need a couple of Z-packs per year.

Over a year and a half ago I purchased your Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator along with the Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual and began taking periodic preventive doses orally; sometimes daily and other times once a week but never more than an ounce at a time.

When sneezing bouts begin I spray Colloidal Sliver up my nose. Z-packs are no longer needed!” 

-- Jerry C., Haltom City, Texas

No More Pneumonia Bouts!

Mom wanted you to know that she is 86 years old and used to get pneumonia at least twice a year until she began using the colloidal silver. She has not had any sign of pneumonia in five years and no problems with her health.

She also uses it as a disinfectant throughout the house. She uses it as a mouth wash. She has had no sinus problems this year since she uses it as nose drops (Oklahoma is notorious for allergies and sinus problems!)

Many of our church members are now asking Mom for a bottle for their families and ask again when they are out which Mom tries to keep made up and on hand at a moment’s notice. 
Mom considers this as something she can do to help others when they have a need and always gives it to them as a gift.

My daughter and I always grab the colloidal silver for my grandkids every time they get a cut on the playground - - in fact, they will come to us and tell us their boo-boo needs silver on it (ages 5 & 8 – even children know a good thing!)

-- N.O., Oklahoma

Clears Up Colds Overnight!

I have used the colloidal silver for 25 years. I spray some down my throat and get it into my lungs to combat a cold. It usually clears up overnight.

I am 90 years old and have not had the flu or a bad cold since I have been using colloidal silver. Externally I use the colloidal silver to keep down infections.

I haven’t had a bladder infection since I have been taking colloidal silver orally. I take approximately ten parts per million of the solution. When I need it, I take a swallow two to three times per day. Highly recommend it to other people
.”

-- T. Loudermilk, NC

Cured My Bronchitis in Two Days,
Plus My Athlete’s Foot Infection!

My own experience has been phenomenal. I had bronchitis for about 3 weeks when my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator arrived.

I made a batch of colloidal silver and started taking it. Within two days I didn't have any bronchitis symptoms. I was only taking a teaspoon per day. I was amazed. It also cleared up my red eye which occasionally happens, as well as athlete’s foot! 

Now I take one ounce per day with occasional skips from time to time. I know it works from my own personal experience, as well as from the experience of my friend
.”

-- W.E. Quirein 

Cured a Bad Case 
of Food Poisoning Overnight!

I can attest to the miracle of colloidal silver. I got food poisoning Friday night. Woke up Saturday at 1am with horrible stomach cramps and frightening diarrhea. 

I make my own silver with the machine I purchased from The Silver Edge.

I immediately started taking about one ounce of 10 ppm micro-particle colloidal silver every 1/2 hour. By morning 8:00am, I could tell it was over. I truly believe that if I had not started taking it when I did, I would have ended up in the hospital!

Learn More About Colloidal Silver

To learn more about colloidal silver’s unique ability to heal infections and infectious diseases, see:
Where to Get Colloidal Silver…

Thankfully, today, high-quality colloidal silver – the world’s safest and most powerful natural germ-fighter -- is available in just about every well-stocked health food store in the United States. 

You can also obtain it on Amazon.com or through other online natural health vendors. 

Unfortunately, the cost can be a bit prohibitive.  A tiny, four-ounce bottle often costs $20 to $30 from health food stores and online vendors.  That’s because it works so well against infections, vendors know they can get away with charging through the nose for it. 

But here’s the good news:  You can make colloidal silver yourself, for just pennies, quickly and easily, in your kitchen.  I’ll tell you how people are doing it, in just a moment. 

But first, if you’d like to learn more about colloidal silver’s astonishing effectiveness against modern drug-resistant pathogens, here are a few additional resources you might want to check out:
How to Make Your Own
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver

A Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge allows you to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.

Compare that to major health food store brands which usually cost between $20 and $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle, and you’ll see that the savings are astonishing. 

In fact, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the entire cost the generator. 

Do you know of any other health product that literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?

Obviously, having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for only pennies per quart is about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one needs it. 

And because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of a single nanometer – their effectiveness against colonies of pathogenic microbes is astonishing. 

Because of their extremely small size, the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles are up to 1,000 times more bioavailable than conventional silver particles.  This means the human body is able to absorb 99-100% of the silver, send it throughout the body to kill pathogens, and then excrete it with ease, afterwards.

Plus, it’s now known that these tiny silver micro-particles are able to kill off entire colonies of pathogens with far greater effectiveness than conventional colloidal silver particles, because of the “zombie effect” described in this recent article about brand new research out of Hebrew University in Jerusalem. 

Perhaps that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the effectiveness of their homemade micro-particle colloidal silver, as you can see at this web page full of real-life colloidal silver success stories.

Using Colloidal Silver in a CPAP Machine

I’m frequently asked about using colloidal silver in a CPAP machine, in order to help prevent the bio-fouling (i.e., microbial contamination) that’s so common to the water used in the reservoir, as well as the air tubes and breathing apparatus.

Since there are no clinical studies I’m aware of on this topic, I’ve turned to CPAP users to see what they have to say.  Here’s what experienced CPAP users who add a little bit of colloidal silver to the water reservoir of their CPAP machine have told me…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

Some people write me asking if adding colloidal silver to the reservoir in their CPAP machine will keep the water and breathing apparatus from getting “funky” (i.e., coated with gunk and microbes). 

Other people want to know if using colloidal silver in a CPAP machine will help with their breathing problems, or help keep their lungs infection-free.

We’ll discuss those issues, in just a moment, but first…

What’s a CPAP Machine?

For those who don’t know, a CPAP machine is a “Continuous Positive Airway Pressure” machine -- a device that helps people with a condition called sleep apnea in which airways constrict and normal breathing stops periodically during sleep. 

The CPAP machine allows sleep apnea sufferers to breathe more easily during sleep, and thus keep their body’s oxygen levels from getting too low.   

To do this, an air mask is worn at night.  The device increases air pressure in the airways to help keep them open and keep oxygen flowing into the lungs while the individual is sleeping. 

However, to prevent the soft tissues in the throat and lungs from drying out and cracking due to the added air pressure, a small amount of distilled water is usually added to a water reservoir in the CPAP machine.

Tiny amounts of this water are picked up by the air current, which in turn helps keep the soft tissues in the throat and lungs moist. 

This small amount of moisture helps prevent the drying and cracking of tissues in the throat and lungs so often experienced by CPAP users.

The problem is, sometimes the water in the CPAP machine, if not changed frequently enough, can get contaminated with bacteria or fungus, and CPAP users can end up with serious chronic upper respiratory infections, bouts of bronchitis or even pneumonia.  

As one unfortunate individual found out the hard way:

“…I have been frustrated with sleep apnea and having to use the CPAP device. I was diagnosed in 2008 and since then have had re-occurring bouts of what has been diagnosed as sinusitis.

Late last year (Oct) I contracted a rather serious bout of bronchitis. I was prescribed the usual antibiotics and inhaler and after about 6 weeks started to show some signs of recovery.

Then in April it came back and the same sort of regiment was applied again, another 6-8 weeks.

Early July again…this time I got into a local clinic as my GP was booked, same routine antibiotics and inhaler.

I had just recovered from that episode when it hit again this time sending me to the ER as now my breathing was severely compromised.

Chest Xray’s led the Dr. to diagnose bronchitis once again and once again the aforementioned regiment -- however each time the antibiotics seemed to change and Prednisone was added.

I suspected something with my machine must be causing this and despite a thorough cleaning on regular basis I decided it was time for an upgrade.

The technician examined my old machine closely and was able to get inside and I was horrified to hear him tell me it was infected with mold!

…So I suspect I have mold that has taken up residence in my nasal cavity if not lungs as each night the constant air pressure sends these spores into my lungs causing the bronchial like conditions.

What else could it be?

Many of the symptoms a lot of CPAP users describe sound so familiar, sinus headaches, chronic infections, facial pressure, nasal discharge, dry and very wet cough, extreme fatigue and the list goes on.

…Someone will make a fortune when they invent a CPAP machine that is mold and infection-free and smart enough to force only enough air to prevent an apnea episode throughout the night.”

That pretty much sums up the experiences many people have had with their CPAP machines becoming contaminated with microbial growth that can later cause upper respiratory infections such as sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and more.

Experimental

To help resolve this potentially very serious issue, a lot of CPAP users add anywhere from a teaspoonful to an ounce or two of 10 ppm colloidal silver to the distilled water in their CPAP machine’s water reservoir. 

They claim this helps keep the water in the reservoir disinfected and clean of microbial buildup.   It reduces the frequency with which the water needs to be changed.  And more importantly, it is said to help prevent the chronic upper respiratory infections so often associated with CPAP machine usage.

I’ve never used a CPAP machine, so I've never had the opportunity to experiment with using colloidal silver in one.

But the operative word is "experiment" because that's exactly what people who use colloidal silver in their CPAP machine are doing.

That’s because there are no clinical studies showing that it's safe to breathe colloidal silver into your lungs for hours a day on a regular daily basis.

The animal studies I’ve seen have demonstrated that after 90 days of breathing an atomized colloidal silver mist into the lungs, animals started accumulating silver in their lungs, which led to reduced lung function over time. 

Of course, as in many animal studies in which silver is involved, overly-large dosages of silver were used by the researchers.  So it’s difficult to know for sure how those studies may, or may not, apply to humans inhaling small amounts of colloidal silver into their lungs at night through their CPAP machines. 

So while these animal studies do not constitute “proof” that small amounts of silver inhaled into the lungs regularly, over long periods of time, is bad for you, at the very least they certainly indicate that the lowest levels possible should be used for anyone considering experimenting with this idea.

What CPAP Users Say

Over the years, a lot of CPAP users have told me they add colloidal silver to their water tank. As one gentleman recently wrote:

“My CPAP reservoir holds about 14 oz of liquid. Typically I'll add 1 oz to 2 oz of colloidal silver, depending upon various factors, with the remainder liquid being distilled water...

I have tried a full reservoir of colloidal silver and it appears to work fine insofar as the uptake and therapy go.

I note though that the more colloidal silver I add to the reservoir the more problems I appear to have with the mucous membrane drying out in my nose, mouth, and throat...

I will say that I have no fungal growth problems with my hose or nose/mouth mask on my CPAP when using colloidal silver in the reservoir.

My wife had a fungal problem in her reservoir and hose until she started adding an ounce or two of colloidal silver to her machine and now she has none. Hope this helps." 

I find that particular anecdotal account quite interesting. 

It appears from the above anecdotal account that adding too much colloidal silver to the water reservoir (i.e., straight colloidal silver, instead of few ounces mixed into a reservoir full of distilled water) negates the purpose of the distilled water, which is to help keep the soft tissues in the nose, mouth and throat from drying out. 

That’s probably because of mineral residue (i.e., silver) that ends up coating the lungs and afterwards drying them out, sort of like the spots on a newly cleaned glass that’s been sitting in the dish rack for awhile to dry. 

But adding just the right amount of colloidal silver to the reservoir (i.e., an ounce or two of 10 ppm colloidal silver to 14 ounces of distilled water) appears to stop microbial growth in the water reservoir and the breathing apparatus without the negative effect of drying out the mucous membranes caused by using straight colloidal silver in the CPAP machine. 

Another CPAP user wrote:

"I use colloidal silver in a CPAP, and the water does not get funky.

I used to have to clean my water tank and hose about every week. Now I clean it about every gallon of distilled water, which is usually a month or so.

Once cleaned, I add an ounce of colloidal silver (just for the first fill). Now there are no weird smells or funkiness.

Plus it could be a coincidence but I used to always get bronchitis - I have not had a problem since I began doing this."

So according to this anecdotal account, it appears that the addition of a relatively small amount of colloidal silver to the CPAP water reservoir (i.e., one ounce) helps keep the water disinfected, and helps prevent microbes from reaching the lungs and triggering bouts of bronchitis.

Another individual – a COPD patient -- wrote to say the following:

“I have COPD.  I also use a CPAP for sleeping and use both an ampule of Albuterol and about 1 ounce of colloidal silver in the reservoir along with filling it with distilled water.

This combination has kept my lungs clear for years with no problems.

In addition, the small amount of colloidal silver in the CPAP reservoir also keeps the reservoir, hose, and mask completely free from any fungal development.”

A lady who suffers from sleep apnea wrote:

“I have sleep apnea.  And when I go to sleep, I use a machine to help me breath thru the night. I add colloidal silver to the water reservoir.

Since I started using it in the water my sinuses have cleared up. I sleep much better and do not struggle to breath now.”

An individual on the GoldIsMoney2.com website wrote:

“I am using Electrically Isolated Silver [i.e., ionic silver – ED] in my CPAP machine's water reservoir (distilled water w/ 1 Tablespoon of EIS).

…My dentist complimented on how healthy my mouth has been lately. I've been with him for decades and always had trouble with gingivitis.

Since I've been using EIS [i.e., ionic silver – ED] almost daily for the last several years all my gum issues have disappeared.”

In the above case, only one tablespoon full of colloidal silver is added to the CPAP machine’s water reservoir, and a rather pleasant “side effect” was noticed, i.e., no more gingivitis. 

If you find that “side effect” interesting, you might want to read the article “Colloidal Silver Cures Teeth and Gum Problems.”

Here’s another anecdotal account, this time from the online archives of the Silver List:

“I also use a CPAP with a heated humidifier. I found that after 2 weeks the tubes would start to get a mildew smell and I would have to soak everything in vinegar to get rid of it.

I then began to put colloidal silver into the humidifier about 2 years ago and I never have to clean the tubes anymore as they no longer get mildew in them.

In fact after a couple months of running colloidal silver through the system I can only guess that all the tubes became coated with silver particles as I no longer have to put colloidal silver in the humidifier any more.”

Here’s another anecdotal account, this one from a Yahoo Groups colloidal silver forum: 

“Just a bit of information you may be interested in.  I was diagnosed with Asbestosis (not cancerous) a few years ago.  The medication (3 different puffers up to 4 times a day) was improving me very slowly. 

Then I put colloidal silver in my CPAP machine for 2 nights then nothing for 2 weeks.  Then 2 nights again.  Now I just do the silver 2 nights about every 4 weeks and no other medication.

I'm not 100% but I'm a hell of a lot better than I was.  I don't like to post on public forums, but if you find this information useful feel free to use it, BUT NOT my full name! thanks, Brian

Notice the individual used very small amounts of colloidal silver, and only periodically, in his CPAP machine.  His improvement was gradual. But he was able to wean himself off all medications for his asbestosis lung problems by doing so.  Very interesting!

Here’s quite an interesting account from a person who didn’t use colloidal silver in his CPAP machine, but instead used silver dimes (i.e., pre-1965 dimes were made of 90% silver):

“For years, I have placed one silver American Eagle into our 5-gallon water-cooler jugs that I refill from the filter on my tap. It keeps slime from forming in the bottles AND in the cooler.

I also put silver dimes in my CPAP humidifier with the same result. My mother tells me that, as a child in the '20s, they would put a silver coin in their milk bottles to make the milk keep longer.”

Of course, that works because the silver dimes leach very small amounts of silver ions into the water, on a gradual basis. Here’s one more very brief account:

I use colloidal silver in the distilled water reservoir of my CPAP machine, to keep the water pure and to prevent microbial growth.”   

So, that's what people tell me they're doing. And they claim they have no problems, so far. 

And that’s probably because adding an ounce or two of colloidal silver to a 14 ounce reservoir dilutes the silver sufficiently so that the lungs can easily clean themselves of any residual silver.

Erring on the Side of Caution

However, considering the lack of good, solid clinical information about inhaling aerosolized colloidal silver into the lungs for hours at a time each day and doing so for days, weeks or even months on end, I think it's best to err on the side of caution.

Until better information becomes available, I’d personally either not do it at all, or only do it periodically rather than every single day. Or at least stick to the smallest amount of colloidal silver needed to keep the water reservoir of the CPAP machine from becoming fouled with microbial growth. 

I say this because people once thought nebulizing colloidal silver into the lungs through a medical nebulizer was perfectly safe to do on a daily basis. There's even a colloidal silver generator manufacturer who supplies a medical nebulizer with his generator so you can nebulize the colloidal silver every day.

However, when clinical studies on animals were later conducted by independent researchers, it was demonstrated that after 90 days of inhaling silver particles on a daily basis, the particles began to accumulate in the animal’s lungs.

Over time, this resulted in lesions in the lungs, and ultimately decreased air flow.  Read the details here:  Using Colloidal Silver in a Nebulizer

So, while I personally have no problem with inhaling colloidal silver into the lungs through a nebulizer when I have an upper respiratory infection, it's definitely NOT something I'd do on a daily basis for weeks and months on end.

I’d only do it periodically, for a few days in a row, whenever I have an upper respiratory infection, because I don't want silver particles accumulating in my lungs, however rare that might be. 

The lungs are wonderful contraptions; under normal circumstances they're very effective at self-cleaning, which is to say, at keeping themselves from being coated with dust, pollution and other substances that you breathe in on a regular basis.

But if you overwhelm the lung's mechanism for self-cleaning by breathing in too much of a particular foreign substance (such as silver, for example), hours-a-day, day-in and day-out for long periods of time, then it appears based on the latest animal research that you could possibly end up with silver accumulating in the lungs, and even incur lung damage over time.

So once again, it’s a situation where moderation in all things should be the watchword.  I’m not telling anyone what to do.  I know many people tell me they’ve been using colloidal silver in their CPAP machines for years.  I’m just setting forth the facts as I understand them, and letting people make their own decisions.

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 nutritional 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

Of course, people are willing to pay through the nose for colloidal silver, since it’s safe and natural, and works so well against germs, mold, fungus, and even viruses. 

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!

If you’re interested in learning how to make your own high-quality colloidal silver at home, for about 36 cents a quart, here are some additional short articles you might want to take a look at:
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,
