Silver Ions Kill “Armor-Plated” Bacteria

Once again, science proves it’s the silver ion that’s responsible for silver’s astonishing effectiveness against some of the most hardy and difficult-to-eradicate pathogens on the face of the earth.

Below, you’ll learn what clinical researchers discovered when they treated one of the world’s most difficult-to-kill pathogens – Bacillus subtilis – with silver nanoparticles. 

Here’s a hint:  Researchers discovered that it wasn’t the metallic silver nanoparticles that killed the pathogen. It was the silver ions released by the metallic silver nanoparticles that caused the fatal damage. 

This proves once again that ionic silver is the active, infection-fighting form of colloidal silver, and that all other forms of silver are effective only to the extent they release silver ions in the presence of pathogens. 

Here’s the story you won’t hear anywhere else…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

In a clinical study with the lengthy title “The Antimicrobial Properties of Silver Nanoparticles in Bacillus subtilis Are Mediated by Released Ag+ Ions,” researchers discovered that silver nanoparticles exhibit profound antimicrobial action against the Bacillus subtilis bacterium – one of the world’s most difficult-to-kill microbes. 

But here’s the clincher:  That effectiveness was due largely to the release of silver ions from the metallic silver nanoparticles used in the experiment, and not due to the metallic silver nanoparticles themselves. 

Although Bacillus subtilis is a relatively benign soil bacteria, scientists know that it’s extremely difficult to kill due to its ability to produce endospores -- a kind of “armor plating” which makes the microbe virtually impervious to a variety of disinfectants and toxic chemicals including antibiotic drugs.

Thanks to this “armor plating,” the pathogen is also virtually immune to temperature variations, desiccation, ultra-violet light, and even to starvation since it can go dormant for months or even years at a time, hiding within its tough endospore shell whenever it feels threatened by antibiotic drugs or other substances.

But the researchers behind the above-mentioned study found that silver ions busted right through the tough outer shell of Bacillus subtilus, just as previous researchers have discovered that silver ions bust through the bacterial biofilms used by colonies of drug-resistant super-pathogens to protect themselves against antibiotic drugs.

Similar to Anthrax

Because of its unusual characteristics, Bacillus subtilis is often used in clinical testing as a substitute for its first-cousin Bacillus anthracis – yes, the deadly anthrax pathogen, which has similar qualities that make it just as difficult to eradicate. 

Indeed, for decades Bacillus subtilis has been used by the U.S. Army as a “simulant” in germ warfare studies of the anthrax pathogen.  When the military wants to know if a substance can kill anthrax, they first test that substance against Bacillus subtilis.  If the substance can kill Bacillus subtilis, then the military researchers can be relatively certain it can kill anthrax as well.

In the above-mentioned clinical study, researchers treated Bacillus subtilis cultures with 0-50 ppm concentrations of silver nanoparticles, and found that while a concentration of only 5 ppm inhibited bacterial growth for 12 hours, concentrations of 10 ppm and higher were lethal to the otherwise difficult-to-kill bacterium.

The researchers found that reactive oxygen species triggered by the release of positively charged silver ions from the silver nanoparticles contributed to the breakdown of the tough “armor plated” cell membrane of the microbe, and that the ionic silver then penetrated the cell membrane and disrupted the integrity of the microbe’s chromosomal DNA causing it to die.

The researchers concluded:

“To the best of our understanding, this is the first study to directly analyze silver particles present within bacterial cells treated with silver nanoparticles, and the results indicate that positively charged silver ions are primarily responsible for silver nanoparticle microbial toxicity…

…our results support the theory that silver nanoparticles exert microbial toxicity through the release of positively charged silver ions that subsequently penetrate into bacterial cells.”

Once again, this is very important to understand: 

The researchers treated the microbes with relatively low levels of metallic silver particles (i.e., silver nanoparticles).  But they discovered that the metallic silver particles didn’t kill the hardy microbes. 

Instead, the silver ions being released by the metallic silver particles did the killing, first, by releasing reactive oxygen species (much like hydrogen peroxide) that essentially “softened up” the tough outer microbial shell of the pathogen, and second, by penetrating that damaged shell wall, entering the microbe, and binding to its DNA.

This proves, once again, that the silver ion (i.e., ionic silver) is the active, infection-fighting form of silver, and that metallic silver (i.e., silver nanoparticles) is only effective to the extent it releases silver ions in the presence of the pathogens. 

This is why smart colloidal silver users always choose the superior ionic form of colloidal silver over the metallic silver nanoparticle form.  They know the metallic form must first be converted into the ionic form inside the human body in order to work – a process which is both slow and inefficient compared to utilizing pure ionic colloidal silver instead. 

Indeed, in one laboratory study the ionic form of colloidal silver was demonstrated to be up to 10,000 times more potent than metallic silver!

How to Make Your Own

Superior Ionic Colloidal Silver

Whether you use colloidal silver to help ward off colds, flu and other upper respiratory infections (learn more, here)…or for more serious and potentially life-threatening infections (see here)…or for its many other healing and immune-boosting benefits (see here)… one thing you likely know for sure is that it’s quite expensive to buy from health food stores.

Indeed, in most major health food stores colloidal silver in the superior ionic form usually costs between $25 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle – an amount that’s barely enough to help fend of even a mild cold or flu.

But owning a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge allows you to make your own superior-quality ionic colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.  Yes, I said 36 CENTS per QUART. 

In fact, compared to health food store prices of colloidal silver, your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver virtually pays for the entire cost your new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator!

You see, a full quart of ionic colloidal silver consists of eight of those tiny four-ounce bottles you can buy at health food stores for around $30 a bottle. That means you’d have to pay up to $240 for a full quart of colloidal silver in a health food store. 

But you can spend about that same amount of money on a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge – the world’s #1 best-selling colloidal silver generator -- and make quart after quart after quart of superior-quality colloidal silver for the rest of your life, for about 36 cents apiece!

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

It’s quite literally as close as you can come to enjoying free colloidal silver for the rest of your life, because you’re making it yourself for the same tiny cost the big colloidal silver manufacturers make it for before distributing it to health food stores where it’s marked up by a whopping 60,000%!  (Learn more here.)

Making your own high-quality colloidal silver this inexpensively allows you to use colloidal silver any time you need, or even give it away to family members, friends or loved ones who need it, without giving cost a second thought. 

Sub-Microscopic Silver Particle Size

Makes It Up to 1,000x More Bio-Available!

What’s more, the tiny, sub-microscopic silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm in size.  That’s a fraction of a single nanometer. 

Yet most conventional health food store brands of colloidal silver contain silver particles as large as 200 nm to 1,000 nm in size (see here for a photographic comparison of the size differences between ionic colloidal silver made with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, and conventional colloidal silver particles found in health food store brands.)

This is critically important to understand, because even the FDA admits that the smaller the silver particles are, the more bio-available they are, meaning the body is better able to absorb them, utilize them, and afterwards safely excrete them. 

Plus, it’s now known that tiny silver micro-particles are able to kill off entire colonies of pathogens with far greater effectiveness than conventional-sized colloidal silver particles. 

That’s because of the “zombie effect” described in this recent article about brand new research out of Hebrew University in Jerusalem.  As you’ll see, the effectiveness of ultra-small, sub-microscopic silver particles against colonies of disease-causing microbes is absolutely astonishing. 

The bottom line is that the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles produced by a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge are up to 1,000 times more bio-available than conventional silver particles.  

Indeed, the human body is able to absorb 90-100% of the tiny silver micro-particles, sending them throughout the body to kill pathogens, and then afterwards excreting them with ease, thanks to their small size. 

But the human body is only able to absorb and utilize as little as 20% to 40% of the silver particles found in many health food store brands of colloidal silver which contain silver particles as large as 200 nm to 1,000 nm or even larger.  Clearly, making your own micro-particle colloidal silver is hands-down the smartest way to go. 

Perhaps that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the effectiveness of the colloidal silver made with their Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, as you can see at this web page full of real-life colloidal silver success stories.

Study Shows Ionic Silver Is Up to 10,000 Times More Effective than “True Colloidal Silver”!

Guest article by R.D. Todd, former U.S. Army medic

Millions of people worldwide have been using the ionic form of colloidal silver with great success for at least six decades.  But in the late 1990’s several websites suddenly appeared marketing so-called “true colloids” or “true colloidal silver,” which is a form of colloidal silver composed largely of non-ionic metallic silver particles, which are also referred to as nanosilver or silver nanoparticles. 

The purveyors of so-called “true colloidal silver” routinely assert that when ionic forms of colloidal silver are ingested, they convert to silver chloride in the stomach due to the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl), which in turn renders it useless.  

And they claim that silver in its metallic form will not convert to silver chloride in the stomach.  Therefore, they claim, their metallic “true colloidal silver” is effective in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in the human body, whereas the ionic form is largely ineffective.

Ignoring a multitude of published studies to that prove the exact opposite – I’ve counted 158 of them, so far -- these promoters began to claim that their metallic “true colloidal silver” is the only truly effective form, while the ionic form of colloidal silver is completely useless in the human body.

To this very day, these marketers continue to disseminate misleading information about the nature of colloidal silver to the general public in an apparent (albeit vain) effort to corner the market on colloidal silver for themselves.  The purpose of this article is to put an end to this debate once and for all.  Which form of colloidal silver is the most effective against pathogens:  the ionic form, or the metallic form?  Here’s the answer:

The Laboratory Study that Ends the Debate!

In December of 2004, John W. Roberts, PhD of the Natural-Immunogenics Corporation conducted an in-depth laboratory study in which the so-called “true colloidal silver” (i.e., metallic silver, also called nanosilver, or silver nanoparticles) was pitted against ionic silver.

Dr. Roberts stated that the purpose of his study was to compare the antimicrobial effect of 'particulate' (i.e., metallic) versus (free) 'ionic' silver.  Dr. Roberts certifies that his comparative analysis study was conducted with full compliance to the standards established by the Food and Drug Administrations Office of Regulatory Affairs including 21 CFR part 58 (Good Laboratory Practices) and 21 CFR part 211.

The hypothesis of Dr. Roberts’ study is that, contrary to the claims made by the purveyors of so-called “true colloidal silver,” it’s the silver ion that’s primarily responsible for silver's antimicrobial efficacy and not the metallic silver particles being touted as “true colloidal silver.”   

Dr. Roberts and his team compared the antibacterial activity of both ionic silver and so-called “true colloidal silver” (metallic silver particles) by treating healthy cultures of the bacterial strains, separately, with both forms. 

The bacterial strains used in this study were identical concentrations and dilutions of Staphylococcus aureus (S-1 and S-2). These potent bacterial strains were allowed to culture (grow). This culture was then diluted to a standard 10:1 ratio using sterile purified lab water and placed on sterile plates.
Next, a solution of hydrochloric acid (HC1) was added to samples of both the ionic silver and the so-called “true colloidal silver” (i.e., metallic silver).

Lastly, the two treated samples of the silver product/ HCl mixture were added to the two bacterial strains samples. The mixtures were then agitated and allowed to react until spotted onto the plate.

The same tests were also conducted without the pre-treatment of the HCl mixture, to see how the two species of silver (ionic and metallic) performed without the hindrance of hydrochloric acid.

The results were astonishing! With or without the HCl mixture added, the Staphylococcus cultures (both S-1 and S-2) on the plates were virtually eradicated in just four minutes when treated with ionic silver!

But the culture plates treated with the so-called “true colloidal silver” showed only a very slight reduction in the bacterial count!

The principal conclusions from the study are as follows:

·       Before adding hydrochloric acid, the ionic form of silver achieves total kill of the Staphylococcus aureus pathogens in just four minutes.

·       The so-called “true colloidal silver” could not match those results even when eight minutes were given.  The untreated ionic form proved to be at least 100 times more potent against the pathogens than untreated “true colloidal silver.”

·       When hydrochloric acid was added, the so-called “true colloidal silver” (i.e., metallic silver) lost almost all its antibacterial potency.  

·       Loss of potency to the ionic silver due to the same treatment with hydrochloric acid was comparatively negligible.

·       In fact, after being treated with hydrochloric acid under the same experimental conditions, the ionic-silver was shown to be a whopping 10,000 times more potent than the so-called “true colloidal silver” in terms of its antimicrobial effects against the two bacterial strains.

The results of this study clearly show that ionic form of silver dramatically outperformed the particulate/metallic “true colloidal silver” form, even in the presence of hydrochloric acid (i.e., stomach acid).  Ionic silver was demonstrated to be over 100 times more effective when tested head-to-head with the so-called “true colloidal silver.” And when hydrochloric acid was added to both forms of silver, the so-called “true colloidal silver” lost so much potency the ionic silver then tested to be an astonishing 10,000 times more potent against the pathogens!

So it’s not even close!

The facts are:  The ionic form of colloidal silver killed all Staphylococcus aureus microorganisms with only a four minute exposure while the metallic, so-called “true colloidal silver” form was only marginally bactericidal at best, even at eight minutes.

While the purveyors of so-called "true colloidal silver" continue to make the claim that ionic silver gets tied-up in the gut and neutralized by hydrochloric acid, even more recent clinical research confirms that it's actually the metallic form of colloidal silver -- so-called “true colloidal silver,” or silver nanoparticles -- that gets tied-up in the gut and neutralized by hydrochloric acid.

In fact, according to the True Colloidal Silver Facts website, this has been demonstrated clinically, time and time again, most recently by researchers from the University of Nevada in cooperation with scientists from the EPA's Office of Research and Development.

In their clinical study, the researchers exposed metallic silver nanoparticles to synthetic human stomach fluid to see how ingested metallic silver nanoparticles could be altered by the stomach's very acidic environment. According to the researchers:

"A variety of analytical methods showed that nanoparticles formed large aggregates and produced silver chloride when exposed to stomach fluid.  Changes in nanoparticle physical form and surface chemistry that occur in the stomach may affect how much silver will be absorbed across the gastrointestinal barrier."

In short, the researchers discovered that metallic silver nanoparticles (i.e., nanosilver, or so-called "true colloidal silver") formed large clumps and began converting to silver chloride when exposed to stomach acids. The researchers surmised that because of this, the human body would likely have significant trouble absorbing and utilizing metallic nanosilver particles.

Even the infamous Brown University clinical study on argyria, conducted in August 2012, found that metallic nanosilver was "not terribly likely to make it from the GI tract to the blood..." but that silver ions shed by the metal nanosilver in reaction to the acidic environment of the stomach were "easily absorbed into the bloodstream".  Again, that's the exact opposite of what the purveyors of "true colloidal silver" claim. Indeed, the Brown University researchers found that:

"...nanosilver corrodes in stomach acid in much the same way it does in other acidic environments. Corrosion strips silver atoms of electrons, forming positively charged silver salt ions. Those ions can easily be taken into the bloodstream..."

So in light of these studies and others like them, it would appear that the purveyors of the metallic nanosilver products which they erroneously call "true colloidal silver" are either ignorant of the actual science, or not always completely honest with their customers.

The evidence speaks for itself!

In the ensuing controversy after the Natural-Immunogenics lab tests by were made public, the purveyors of the metallic so-called “true colloidal silver” desperately tried to find a way to rebuke the findings of this study -- even claiming that four minutes was not long enough!  Here’s a direct quote from one of the purveyors of the so-called “true colloidal silver” with regards to the study results: “The narrow and unrealistically short time points do not reflect actual usage of either product.”

You don’t need to be a scientist to see how ridiculous this statement is! Ionic silver killed all of the bacterial cultures in just four minutes and the so-called “true colloidal silver” product didn’t even come close!

Are the purveyors of so-called “true colloidal silver” suggesting that this test should allow more time for their product to prove its worth as an antibacterial agent? In this study, the so-called “true colloidal silver” was given up to 8 minutes to perform and still it did little damage to either of the Staphylococcus cultures. How much time do they need? 

The purveyors of the so-called “true colloidal silver” could have saved themselves a lot of humiliation and embarrassment if they had first read up on some of the many scientific studies that have already proven that it is indeed the ionic charge that is primarily responsible for silver's antimicrobial efficacy. 

This includes studies like the ones conducted at Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, which is home of the world renowned Army Burn Center operated by the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research. The Army Burn Center has been at the forefront of research and development of burn treatments and has been researching the use of silver in medicine for decades. To quote Albert T. McManus, MD, Chief of Microbiology at the Army Burn Center who conducted one such study, “…conversion of silver to silver ions is necessary for efficacy”.

In other words, for silver to be effective against pathogens, it must be in the ionic form.  If metallic silver (i.e., so-called “true colloidal silver”) is used, it is only effective to the extent that the metal shed silver ions in the presence of pathogens.

To learn more about the profound differences between the superior ionic form of colloidal silver, and the less-than-stellar metallic “true colloids” form, see the True Colloidal Silver Facts website.  

There you’ll learn why millions of people worldwide have been using ionic forms of colloidal silver with great success for decades!  Simply put, silver ions rule!  They are the active, infection-fighting form of silver, as dozens of top colloidal silver researchers agree.   

Case closed!!!

Silver Induces Cervical Cancer Cells to Destroy Themselves

More and more test tube clinical research is being conducted, demonstrating that silver in a variety of forms is able to cause cancer cells to destroy themselves. 

In the following article, you’ll see that researchers have found both ionic silver and metallic silver to cause cervical cancer cells to commit cellular suicide through a process called apoptosis.

This, in my opinion, could ultimately have profound implications for women diagnosed with abnormal cell growth in the cervix caused by Human Papillomavirus. 

Here’s the story…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

Here's a brief abstract for a test tube clinical study once again demonstrating that silver kills cancer cells. 

As usual, the authors use the study to claim silver is harmful to human cells in general, which of course is a crock, as silver has been repeatedly demonstrated to protect normal, healthy human cells.

(To learn about colloidal silver’s demonstrated and quite dramatic cell-protective effects see the previous articles here and here.)

In this study, a HeLa cell line was used, which is a cell line composed of human cervical cancer cells – the same kind of cancer known to be caused in women by Human Papillomavirus. 

According to the study abstract, the researchers found that silver nanoparticles caused the cervical cancer cells to self-destruct, in a process called apoptosis. 

What's more, the researchers discovered that silver ions (i.e., ionic silver) had even greater toxic effects against the cancer cells than silver nanoparticles (i.e., metallic silver). They stated:

“Nanosilver has well­-known antibacterial properties, and is widely used in daily life as various medical and general products.

In comparison with silver ion, there is serious lacking of information concerning the biological effects of nanoAg [i.e., metallic silver -- ED].

In this study, we observed the cytotoxic effect of nanoAg in HeLa cells.

The nanoAg­-induced cytotoxicity was lower than that of AgNO(3), used as a silver ion source.

Apoptosis…was associated with this cell death.”

In other words, in this test tube study, when a source of silver ions was used on the HeLa cells line (i.e., cervical cancer cell line) the cancer cells committed cellular suicide (apoptosis) at a higher rate than when the same cancer cells were exposed to metallic silver. 

Nevertheless, both types of silver – ionic and metallic – worked against the cancerous cells.

(For a more in-depth understanding of the differences between ionic and metallic colloidal silver products, see the True Colloidal Silver Facts website.)

This could ultimately have important ramifications for women diagnosed with abnormal cell growth in the cervix caused by Human Papillomavirus.

More Information…

Keep in mind this was strictly a test tube study, and not an animal or human study.  So it does not “prove” that silver in any form would “cure” cancer. 

But it’s certainly one more piece of evidence in a growing body of recent clinical and anecdotal evidence indicating that silver destroys a wide variety of cancer cells.  For example, see:

·       Silver Kills Some Cancer Tumors Better Than Chemotherapy, Says British Researchers

·       Colloidal Silver and Cancer

Silver Nanoparticles Stop Cancer Without Toxic Harm

·       Is Nanosilver the Cure for Neuroblastoma Cancer?

·       Colloidal Silver Kills Human Breast and Liver Cancer Cells

Also, see Another Bogus Study Claims Nanosilver Harms Human Cells for a more in-depth expose’ of the ongoing drive to mis-portray silver as being harmful to human cells, when instead the studies are clearly demonstrating silver’s profound anti-cancer properties.

Obviously, if you’re interested in reading more about this topic, you’ve now got your reading cut out for you. 

The above links constitute an exciting overview on the growing body of evidence from clinical research indicating that antimicrobial silver is also anti-cancerous.
