Can Colloidal Silver Help You Avoid a Painful Root Canal?

Many colloidal silver users can attest to the fact that they’ve been able to avoid expensive (and potentially painful) dental procedures thanks to their use of colloidal silver. Here’s my story…

Can colloidal silver really help you avoid a painful root canal?

I ask the above question out of personal experience.

For nearly 12 years I was able to prevent having a painful root canal procedure done simply by using some homemade colloidal silver several times a day, whenever a flare-up would occur.

Indeed, back in 1996 my dentist had told me that my bottom right molar had a small hairline crack in it, and that microbes were penetrating the tooth and getting into the root system.

This caused an infection resulting in the excruciating pain I had been experiencing. After taking x-rays, he immediately recommended a root canal.

Now this same dentist had performed a root canal on one of my front teeth about six years earlier, and it was one of the most painful procedures I’d ever endured.

It was, in fact, the one and only time I actually screamed out in pain in a professional office surrounding, such was the pain caused by the root canal procedure.

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue!

So instead of having the second root canal done, I went home, made some fresh colloidal silver and started soaking the tooth in it each night. What I did was this:

Upon going to bed each night, I’d take about two ounces of colloidal silver into my mouth, and hold it directly over the offending tooth for as long as I could. I’d shoot for ten or fifteen minutes. While I was doing this, I’d read from a book, or watch television.

Occasionally, I’d forcefully swish the colloidal silver back and forth over the infected tooth, in an attempt to force some of the tiny silver particles under the gum line, and between the teeth, and hopefully even into the hairline crack my dentist told me was there.

And after ten or fifteen minutes had passed, I’d swallow the colloidal silver, and then repeat the same process with a fresh mouthful of colloidal silver.

Furthermore, I’d repeat the same procedure several times during the day, while I was at work.

It was no big deal. I just brought a small jar of my homemade colloidal silver to work with me. It was about 10 ppm in concentration. And whenever I knew I wouldn’t be talking to anyone at work for awhile –

-- I’d take a nice big mouthful of colloidal silver and begin alternately holding it over the tooth, and then swishing it forcefully back and forth over the tooth.

Again, I’d do so for ten or fifteen minutes. And I always swallowed the colloidal silver afterwards.

The result?

The pain immediately began to diminish. And within only three days there was no more pain left whatsoever.

Within a week, I went back to the dentist and had new X-rays taken. And you should have seen the look on his face when he saw that the infection was completely gone. Not a trace of it.

Occasional Flare Ups

Over the years since that event, that same tooth would occasionally flare up. I’d feel a light throbbing pain beginning. And I’d go home and get my colloidal silver out and start repeating the above process.

Nine times out of ten, the pain was gone the same day it started. Of course, I’d continue the procedure for a few days just to make sure. But it always worked. Every single time.

Looking back, I’d have to estimate that the tooth acted up probably once a year. I attributed this to the hairline crack in the tooth allowing bacterial to get down into the root area and colonize.

But each time it happened, I’d use the colloidal silver to eradicate the infection and clear up the problem.

Now that may be too much trouble for some people. Perhaps they’d prefer a root canal procedure, or having their gums scraped, or whatever the case may be. Maybe it would give them some kind of closure. I certainly can understand that.

But not me. Simply brushing with colloidal silver a few times a day, rinsing with colloidal silver from time-to-time, or even holding a little bit of colloidal silver in the mouth and swishing it around vigorously a couple of times a day is simple and effective enough for me.

On a personal level, I’m a minimalist at heart. If I can avoid an invasive procedure, and get pretty much the same results with a simpler and more natural procedure, I will do so every time.

Nevertheless, finally, some 12 years later, I was convinced by another dentist to have the root canal procedure done.

The pain had started up again. And this time my new dentist showed me, using X-rays, that the crack in the tooth had grown. It was clear to me that keeping food and debris out of it had become an impossible task.

She explained to me about the new advances in the root canal surgery itself, in the potency of the numbing agent used, and in more modern endodontic equipment.

And she was right. This root canal was nothing like the first one. There was hardly any pain at all. In fact, I went out to dinner about three or four hours after the procedure.

Thankful to Colloidal Silver

Nevertheless, I sure am thankful to colloidal silver for the simple fact that I was able to postpone having that procedure for an astonishing 12 years, while dental technology advanced enough for me to have it without pain.

Silver-Impreganted Underwear Being Issued By the British Army


How can you go without washing your underwear for a year? Think silver!

Yes, the British Army now issues their soldiers in the field silver-impregnated underwear so they don't have to change but once every two months. The silver nanoparticles woven into the fabric of the underwear kill the germs and other pathogens that tend to "stink up your junk."

Hey, get six pair, and you won't have to wash your undies for a year (but that stint in the British Army might be problematic)!

Nivea Adds Colloidal Silver to Its Skin Care Product Line for Men!

Now this is interesting, Nivea, one of the world’s leading skin care products manufacturers –

-- now has an entire line of men's skin care, deodorant and shaving products utilizing silver ions as an antimicrobial agent!

Their line of silver ion-based products includes:
      · A Silver Protect underarm deodorant spray

      · A Silver Protect underarm deodorant stick

· A Silver Protect underarm deodorant roll-on

· A Silver Protect after-shower body and hair splash

· A Silver Protect shaving foam

· A Silver Protect shaving gel

· A Silver Protect after shave lotion

· A Silver Protect after shave balm

I wonder how long before the environmentalists go bat shit crazy over this and try to have these Nivea products regulated or banned?

Antimicrobial Protection and Skin Support

Here's what Nivea says about the antimicrobial silver ions in their men's skin care line:

“How the formula with silver ions works

The antibacterial formula with silver ions is highly active and fights against bacteria rapidly:

Silver ions are able to enter the bacterial cells and to deactivate their vital functions. This leads to a loss in viability of the bacteria and the inhibition of bacterial replication.

The products of the Silver Protect Range contain highly active silver ions providing various benefits:

•The deo-shower and deo-sprays with silver ions are simultaneously tough on bacteria and gentle to the skin. The formulas reliably prevent the onset of body odour and keep the skin healthy and feeling refreshed.

•The shaving and after shave products with silver ions work as follows: They effectively protect from bacterial action in a gentle manner and the after shave products support skin recovery after shaving. Additionally the after shaves deliver a cooling, invigorating experience.

Irritations or redness? No chance with the new Silver Protect range!"

Gotta Love It!

Hey, folks, you gotta love it!

Anything that brings more publicity to the general public for silver's powerful natural antimicrobial qualities is good.

It’s just too bad Big Business can tell the public about the wonderful infection-fighting qualities of silver, yet people selling colloidal silver can get fined by the FDA up to $100,000 or more, and put out of business for doing the same thing!

You can learn more about how people use safe, natural colloidal silver to kill infections and heal diseases – straight from dozens of experienced colloidal silver users -- at this link.

Make Your Own
Colloidal Silver Skin Care Products!

Of course, there's not even one of these Nivea Silver Protect products that you can't mimic with your own colloidal silver.

For example, do you like the idea of Nivea's Silver Protect underarm deodorant?

Then get a glass pump spray bottle with a fine mist nozzle, and use that to spray under your arms with safe, natural colloidal silver each morning!

Do you like Nivea's Silver Protect gel shaving cream product?

Great! When you go to shave tomorrow, put some of your usual shaving gel in your hand and add a few drops of 7-10 ppm colloidal silver and mix it together with your fingers –

-- it's an instant silver-based shaving gel for smoother shaves and better protection against skin irritation!

The point is, why five times the price for commercial silver-based skin care products when you can achieve the same level of protection and benefits with a few cents worth of colloidal silver?

Unusual (But Effective)
Ways to Use Colloidal Silver!

For example, here's an article by Angela Kaelin about using colloidal silver to make your own natural health and beauty products.

Here's another article, on how to make your own colloidal silver soap and colloidal silver healing gel, for just pennies.

Here's an article on the top 12 ways to use colloidal silver on, and in, your body.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that safe, natural colloidal silver has a myriad of beneficial uses for the human body.

Big companies like Nivea understand this, and are working to provide the public with a variety of silver-based products.

If only the public knew they could mimic most of these products for themselves, for a tiny fraction of the price, simply by making their own colloidal silver for only pennies per quart!

Trials and Tribulations of Telling Family Members and Friends About Colloidal Silver

Have you ever tried to tell a family member or friend about the many benefits you’ve experienced with colloidal silver…


…only to have them scoff at you, laugh, or give you that typical roll of the eyes along with that condescending look that says, “There you go again, with that kooky natural health stuff”?


A member of the Colloidal Silver Secrets Group on Facebook posted a note saying:

“I just want to say it breaks my heart Steve, I’ve been ridiculed by people among my family and friends for telling them about colloidal silver.

I’ve even linked family members to the group so they can see what others are saying, but all I get are stupid comments like ‘Oops, mind you don't turn silver’ and stuff like that.”

Another group member replied:

“I know what you mean about trying to get others to try colloidal silver! I’ve tried to get my family to use it when they’re sick, but to no avail!

There was one occasion where my girlfriend and I went out to eat with two of our friends, and afterwards everyone got sick. They were throwing up and had diarrhea. All except for me, that is.

We all ate the same thing that night and it was almost immediately afterward they all started feeling sick.

Guess who drinks colloidal silver pretty much every day? ME. The only one who didn’t get sick. You’d think that would be enough to make them want to try it, but they still won't.

People need to open their eyes and realize that all they represent to their doctors and to the big pharmaceutical companies is increased annual profits!”

You Can Lead a Horse…

I’ll comment on the doctors and pharmaceutical companies and their drugs in just a moment.

But first, my thoughts on telling family members and friends about colloidal silver:

You know the old saying, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." That may sound trite, but frankly, it goes double for colloidal silver. (Maybe triple.)

After 16 years of writing and teaching on this subject, I've learned that when it comes to family and friends all I can do is plant small seeds of truth about colloidal silver (or other natural remedies, as the case may be), and then drop the subject.

If I go to a family member’s house for dinner, and see that someone in the family is sick with an infection, I might say something like this:

“I read another medical study today about colloidal silver, and posted it to the Clinical Studies page of my web site. This one demonstrated that colloidal silver kills the Pseudomonas bacteria.

I’m glad, too, because that particular bacteria is highly antibiotic-resistant and is killing lots of older people and even young children in hospitals where it is very prevalent.”

Then I just shut up. If they don’t respond to my statement, I change the subject. I never worry about whether or not they accept what I'm saying.

But if they do respond to my statement, then I’ll also gently point out that colloidal silver might be helpful for the sick family member.

Wall of Resistance

I've found that people who are open to colloidal silver will be open to it almost immediately. It’s as if they’re mysteriously drawn to it.

And people who are hesitant or outright skeptical will put up a wall of resistance to the subject that you couldn’t penetrate with a Howitzer barrage. So I don't push them.

Skeptical people are what they are. They won't believe what you’re saying about colloidal silver, even if they see it with their own eyes.

An Example…

Here’s an example of the skeptical nature of some people, which I wrote about in the latest edition of my book, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual:

Years ago my mother got so sick with an upper respiratory infection she could bare hold her head up. She had already taken three different courses of antibiotics from the doctor to no avail.

So I went over to her house and brought a big jug of colloidal silver. And to show her it wouldn't hurt her, I drank a full glass of it right in front of her.

She very reluctantly drank some. The next day I came over and gave her some more. Then when I came over the third day I found her packing her suitcase and getting ready to go to Las Vegas with a friend. She was perfectly well, and full of energy.

I said, "Well, mom, it looks like you've made a rather miraculous recovery," expecting her to thank me profusely for bringing her the colloidal silver and helping her get well so quickly, so she could go on her long-planned trip.

But without missing a beat she replied, "Well, I guess those antibiotics the doctor gave me finally kicked in."

What can you say to your own mom, but “Yes, mam.”

You have to accept skeptical people for exactly what they are. If they’re meant to come around to the truth, sooner or later they will. And if they’re not, there’s simply nothing in the world you can do about it.

(My mom, God bless her, eventually did come around to the truth about colloidal silver, and now makes her own and takes it regularly at 81 years old.)

The Perception of Authority

As for doctors and the big pharmaceutical companies, and the idea that people need to wake up to the fact they’re being taken for a ride by Big Pharma:

The bottom line is that the perception of authority conveyed by doctors and drug companies is simply too great for most people.

Doctors, like priests, are perceived to be authorities whose words are sacred and above reproach. They cannot be questioned.

After all, just as priests have special titles like “Reverend,” dress in flowing robes and use terminology that makes them sound holy and ever-so-much-closer-than-you to God…

…so to do doctors have special titles, dress in their white doctor’s smocks and use specialized terminology that gives them an aura of unimpeachable authority and unapproachable credibility.

It’s all perception, designed to make the fallible appear infallible.

Most people look at a doctor who might be recommending they take a certain drug, and think, “He’s got a title, and a degree hanging there on the wall, and that nifty white smock. Therefore he cannot be questioned. He must be right. His word is infallible. I’ll take the drug”

That’s as far as their reasoning goes.

This perception of authority is so powerful, people will watch some guy in a TV commercial wearing a white doctor’s smock recommending a new drug, and their ears perk up automatically and they’ll begin to listen intently.

Why? Because of the perception that he’s a doctor, and he must know what he’s talking about.

They think to themselves, “Hey, maybe I too have social anxiety disorder and need Paxil”…

…never realizing the “doctor” is actually a two-bit actor living in a squalid apartment above a Chinese restaurant in West Hollywood and dreaming of becoming the next Brad Pitt…

…and the pharmaceutical company is simply trying to expand the market for its drugs to wider and wider circles of people in order to boost its bottom line.

It’s the aura of authority cast by that guy in the white smock pretending to be a doctor that is so very, very powerful.

The reality simply doesn’t matter. Like the 106,000 deaths per year caused by prescription drugs, the reality of Big Pharma’s greed and arrogance is simply covered over by the illusion of unimpeachable authority and credibility.

But in natural health, all we have to offer is the cold, hard truth, along with the courage of our convictions.

“Hey, I got food poisoning and had a horrific case of diarrhea and projectile vomiting the other day after eating out, so I drank several ounces of colloidal silver, and it cleared it right up.”

“Ho hum,” some people will say. “There you go again with that colloidal silver nonsense. Why didn’t you go straight to the doctor and get some antibiotics?”

But the wise will say, “Tell me more.”
