Study: Silver Boosts Effectiveness of Antibiotics By Up to 1,000x!

The news media has been awash lately with stories about a brand new clinical study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, in June 2013, which concluded that antimicrobial silver can be used to boost the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs against drug-resistant bacteria by up to 1,000 times. 

But is this actually “new” information?  Or is it old news?

I suppose it really doesn’t matter, because it’s helping bring the infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver back into the public limelight again, and awakening the general public to its powerful healing attributes.  But here’s the real scoop on the story you won’t get anywhere else…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...

In April I wrote an article titled Colloidal Silver Boosts the Effectiveness of Antibiotic Drugs, in which I covered all of the main studies up to that point demonstrating that colloidal silver and other forms of antimicrobial silver, when added to antibiotic drugs, tends to boost their effectiveness many times over.

For example, I pointed out the 2006 study conducted at the Department of Microbiology/Molecular Biology at Brigham-Young University, which found that numerous antibiotic drugs that had previously lost their effectiveness against drug-resistant pathogens suddenly regained their full effectiveness when colloidal silver is used in conjunction with them.

What’s more, I pointed out another study from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology & Regenerative Medicine in Spain, which concluded:

“The synergetic effect of silver nanoparticles with antibiotics has been studied combining silver nanoparticles with different antibiotics including ampicillin, kanamycin, erythromycin and chloramphenicol against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.  The antibacterial activities of these antibiotics increase in the presence of silver nanoparticles against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.”

And I pointed out the study published in Academic Journals, titled “Antibacterial Efficacy of Colloidal Silver Alone and In Combination With Other Antibiotics on Isolates from Wound Infections,” which concluded that “colloidal silver had a significant additive effect on many antibiotics tested.”

Also, close to seven years ago, on the Colloidal Silver Cures MRSA website, I pointed out another study titled “Synthesis and Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on the Antibacterial Activity of Different Antibiotics Against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.” 

This study concluded that the effectiveness of antibiotics like penicillin G, amoxicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, and vancomycin were all increased in the presence antimicrobial silver. 

On that same website I pointed out that since the antibiotic drugs tested had previously lost their effectiveness against the drug-resistant pathogens, these studies clearly demonstrate that the silver was the deciding factor in the deaths of the deadly pathogens!

Critics of Adding Silver to Antibiotics

I’ve also pointed out that there are critics of the idea of adding antimicrobial silver to antibiotic drugs. 

These critics claim that silver actually interferes with the absorption and effectiveness of antibiotics.

Indeed, these critics – including WebMD.com, MayoClinic.com, Livestrong.com and even Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. who must be going soft in his old age -- generally regurgitate the warning from the FDA’s 2009 Consumer Advisory Bulletin, which states: 

“…the use of silver-containing dietary supplements may interfere with the body's absorption of some drugs, such as quinolone antibiotics [ciprofloxacin (Cipro), norfloxacin (Noroxin), ofloxacin], tetracycline antibiotics, thyroxine, and penacillamine (Cuprimine).”

But in reality, there appears to be no documented evidence whatsoever for this claim.  At least, the FDA can’t provide any. 

In fact, when I filed a Freedom of Information Act Request with the FDA, asking them to document their claims that ingesting colloidal silver could interfere with the absorption of the stated antibiotic drugs and other types of drugs, they had to admit they had no evidence whatsoever for their claims! 

Silver Back in the Limelight

Now, as you’ll see in just a moment, major news media from around the world are reporting the results of the latest clinical study on silver’s ability to dramatically boost the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs. 

And they’re reporting it as if this study constituted brand “new” information that’s rocking the medical establishment.  

Truth be told, however, as I’ve pointed out above, the medical establishment has long since been aware of the fact that colloidal silver by itself is highly antimicrobial in nature, and that silver in any form tends to boost the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs, often many times over

Love-Hate Relationship

Before we take a quick look at what the worldwide news media is saying about this new study on silver’s ability to boost the effectiveness of antibiotics drugs, please keep in mind that the orthodox medical establishment seems to have an ongoing “love-hate” relationship with silver. 

They love it, because it works so darned well, and has so much infection-fighting potential, particularly in its ability to boost the effectiveness of their expensive antibiotic drugs which now largely fail to kill drug-resistant pathogens.

But they hate it, because it’s a substance the average Joe has easy access to (in the form of colloidal silver), and doesn’t generally need a doctor’s prescription in order to obtain and use. 

So they’re hard-pressed to figure out a way to patent it, monopolize it, and market it as a high-ticket drug item.

After all, when you and I can simply drive over to our local health food store and pick up a bottle of colloidal silver for twenty bucks, or make our own high-quality colloidal silver for just pennies, who needs some over-priced new silver-laced antibiotic drug from Big Pharma?

But now that the medical establishment is decidedly losing the battle against antibiotic-resistant pathogens, this new study seems to indicate that drug researchers are at least willing to take another good, long look at silver. 

Don’t Be Fooled

Don’t be fooled, however: 

One of the lead researchers on the new study, Jim Collins, a biomedical engineer at Boston University, has already stated that “…other researchers might now attempt to find non-toxic compounds that mimic silver’s bacteria-weakening mechanisms.”

Indeed, in an interview with another news media outlet, he stated, “We’re also encouraging people to look at what features of silver caused the helpful effects, so they can look for non-toxic versions.”

In other words, now that they’ve demonstrated how silver boosts the effectiveness of the medical establishment’s failing antibiotic drugs, they can start looking for other substances that “mimic silver’s bacteria-weakening mechanisms” and have similar “helpful effects.”

So the likelihood is that they may still have no intention whatsoever of incorporating antimicrobial silver into their failing antibiotic drugs. 

They may, in reality, be looking to find a chemically synthesized substance they can patent, which would duplicate the ability of silver to boost the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs.

What the News Media is Saying

Nevertheless, the news media appears to be ecstatic about the new study, which of course is good to see. 

Here are a few quotes from the various news articles I’ve seen so far:

From a news article in prestigious Scientific American (re-printed from the journal, Nature), we learn that the study authors discovered that it’s the silver ion that helps increase the efficacy of antibiotic drugs against drug-resistant bacteria, by breaking down the cell wall of the bacteria to allow more of the antibiotic drug to penetrate. 

This, of course, is nothing new.  I’ve written about it years ago in this article, titled, “Experts:  It’s the Silver Ion That Gives Colloidal Silver It’s Antimicrobial Power.” 

Nevertheless, as stated in the Scientific American news article:

“Like werewolves and vampires, bacteria have a weakness: silver.

The precious metal has been used to fight infection for thousands of years — Hippocrates first described its antimicrobial properties in 400 bc — but how it works has been a mystery.

Now, a team led by James Collins, a biomedical engineer at Boston University in Massachusetts, has described how silver can disrupt bacteria, and shown that the ancient treatment could help to deal with the thoroughly modern scourge of antibiotic resistance.

…Collins and his team found that silver — in the form of dissolved ions — attacks bacterial cells in two main ways:

It makes the cell membrane more permeable, and it interferes with the cell’s metabolism, leading to the overproduction of reactive, and often toxic, oxygen compounds.

Both mechanisms could potentially be harnessed to make today’s antibiotics more effective against resistant bacteria, Collins says.”

Of course, silver’s ability to break down bacterial cell membranes and interfere with the bacteria’s metabolism is most definitely not a new discovery.  It’s been known for decades, actually.

As reported in the 2008 study, Nanotechnology In Medicine and Antibacterial Effect Of Silver Nanoparticles:

“Nanoparticles mainly in the range of 1-10 nm attach to the surface of the cell membrane and drastically disturb its proper function, like permeability and respiration.”

As Dr. Murray J. Height, Ph.D., and Chief Technology Officer of the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group pointed out several years ago:

“All silver-based antimicrobials act against bacteria through the action of silver ions.  Silver ions interact with bacteria cells through three mechanisms:  1.) Damage cell membranes, 2.) Displace Ca2+ and Zn2+ ions, 3.) Interact with sulphur, oxygen or nitrogen.” 

And as pointed out in the medical textbook by silver researcher Alan B. Lansdown, Silver in Health Care:  Antimicrobial Effects and Safety in Use, published in 2010:

“The antimicrobial action of silver or silver compounds is proportional to the bioactive silver ion released and its availability to interact with bacterial or fungal cell membranes.”

Finally, as I pointed out in my article “Experts:  It’s the Silver Ion That Gives Colloidal Silver Its Antimicrobial Power,” the Handbook of Hospital Corps of the United States Navy stated way back in 1953:

Silver compounds have a wide variety of uses as caustics, astringents, antiseptics, and germicides. Their activity resides in the silver ion, which is a protein precipitant [in that] it is toxic to bacteria by precipitating the protein in the bacteria protoplasm.”

So while it’s good to see the media touting the findings of this new study, it’s almost laughable to call much of the information derived from the study “new.”  It’s actually been known since the 1950’s, and even before that.

Next, from an article on FoxNews.com, carried by the Daily Mail news website, we learn that the new study demonstrated “just a small amount of silver” made pathogens up to 1,000 times more sensitive to penicillin. 

What’s more, the study demonstrated that silver actually boosts the effectiveness of the antibiotic tetracycline against E. coli bacteria:

“A new study from Boston University revealed that adding silver to antibiotics enhanced the drugs’ abilities to fight off lethal infections in mice. 

Through their tests, the team showed that just a small amount of silver made E. coli bacteria between 10 and 1,000 times more sensitive to commonly prescribed antibiotics, such as penicillin.

Most importantly, the researchers showed that silver helped the antibiotic tetracycline fight a previously resilient strain of E. coli. 

This signified that the combination of silver and antibiotics could be used to resensitize antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. 

‘Overall, what we show is that small amounts of silver, non-toxic levels, can be used in conjunction with commonly used antibiotics to treat persistent infection and to treat bio-film based infections, which are problematic for medical implants,’ Collins said.’

Well, that’s quite fascinating, especially since the antibiotic drug tetracycline, mentioned in the third-to-last paragraph of the Fox News article excerpt above, is one that the FDA claims is inhibited by silver. 

Of course, it would hardly seem that tetracycline could be inhibited by silver, if silver increases this drug’s effectiveness against drug-resistant strains of E. coli, as the new study demonstrated.

Perhaps this is why the FDA could not produce any evidence or documentation of their claims that silver inhibits the absorption of tetracycline, when I asked them for it. 

According to an article about the new study on NatureWorldNews.com, the researchers found even more interesting information about silver’s abilities to kill the microbes:

The study also found that silver increased the efficiency of Vancomycin, an antibiotic that isn't known to kill gram positive bacteria…

Interestingly, silver treated bacteria weren't able to produce a biofilm and didn't turn dormant. Usually it takes several rounds of antibiotics to kill bacteria that become dormant…

Researchers even tested various doses of silver compounds that could kill the bacteria.

They found that the amount of silver required to make bacteria more sensitive to antibiotics would not cause any harm to human tissues. Oral or injectable silver could be used in humans, they said. 

Amazingly, most critics of colloidal silver claim it can’t possibly work when orally ingested.  This, of course, flies in the face of decade’s worth of successful oral use of colloidal silver by literally millions of people worldwide. 

But now we have top researchers from Boston University claiming oral use of silver will not only work (in terms of boosting the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs), but such small amounts are needed that it “would not cause any harm to human tissues.” 

What’s more, the researchers found that when silver is used, the bacteria aren’t able to produce biofilms, which are like fortified colonies the bacteria hide in to escape the lethality of antibiotic drugs. 

This, too, of course, is not “new” information.  It’s long been known that silver ions can prevent or even destroy bacterial biofilms (see 2005 study here). 

So while there is some new information one can glean from the study, in reality much of what the researchers “discovered” has been known for a long time. 

One Thing Missing In This Study

One thing you might have noticed in all of this hoopla, of course, is that there’s been no mention whatsoever made of the fact that numerous studies have demonstrated that colloidal silver can kill these pathogenic microorganisms all by itself, without the concurrent use antibiotic drugs!

See for example, this study, and this study, and this study, and this study, and this study, and this study and this study and dozens of other clinical studies and reports at this link.

Indeed, the researchers in this new study appear to have studiously avoided testing the antimicrobial silver by itself against the same pathogens they tested the silver and antibiotic drug combinations against.

Why? 

Could it be because the medical establishment fears that if the general public becomes aware that antimicrobial silver is indeed this effective against pathogenic microorganisms, they’ll flee from the use of potentially toxic antibiotic drugs altogether and embrace colloidal silver in its place, costing Big Pharma billions of dollars in annual profits? 

What the Experts Say About Colloidal Silver

As Dr. Joseph Weissman, M.D. board certified immunologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California Medical School has stated:

"Today, many antibiotics are losing the battle with germs.

Fortunately, the best germ killer, which was discovered over 2,000 years ago, is finally getting the proper attention from medical science - natural silver.

I sincerely recommend that everyone have electrically generated colloidal silver in their home as an antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agent."

And as Harvard-educated Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D. has stated:

“Colloidal silver just might be the next germ-fighting wonder drug. And not just for the serious threats making headlines: It's also effective against bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and fungal infections like Candida.

No matter how much a germ mutates, it can't change enough to escape the damaging effects of colloidal silver.

And in the process, the silver doesn't harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in the intestine the way antibiotics and other medications do."

And as author Zane Baranowski, CN, has stated:

"Silver is one of the most universal antibiotic substances. When administered in the colloidal form, it is for all practical purposes non-toxic.

Silver has been proven to be effective against hundreds of infectious conditions.

It has tremendous anti-microbial power; the history of safe and successful colloidal silver use is extensive, and the number of current health professionals and individuals that successfully utilize colloidal silver to reduce the length and severity of infectious disorders is growing exponentially."

And as Dr. Nenah Sylver, Ph.D has so astutely pointed out:

“Companies that sell colloidal silver or the equipment to make it are forbidden by the FDA to tell their customers about colloidal silver’s healing properties.

Interestingly, this has not stopped major pharmaceutical companies from producing other silver products that are approved for medical purposes.

These products include silver gels, for cuts, burns and wounds (silver sulfadiazine cream, a compound, is extensively used); silver coated bandages, widely and successfully used in hospital burn units; and various silver compounds, for other purposes.

The existence of these products makes it difficult for government agencies to deny the health benefits of silver any longer."

And as Dr. Ron Leavitt, Ph.D., of the Department of Microbiology at Brigham Young University has stated:

"The data suggests that with the low toxicity associated with colloidal silver, in general, and the broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity of this colloidal silver preparation, this preparation may be effectively used as an alternative to antibiotics."

And as best-selling author Dr. James Balch, M.D. has stated in his book, Prescription For Nutritional Healing:

"Topically, colloidal silver can be used to fight fungal infections of the skin or nails and to promote the healing of burns, wounds, cuts, rashes, and sunburn.

It can be used on toothaches and mouth sores, as eye drops, and as a gargle to fight tooth decay and bad breath.

It can also be used as sterilizer and can even be sprayed on air-conditioning filters and air ducts and vents to prevent germs from growing."

And as Byron J. Richards, CCN (Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist) and author of Fight for Your Health:  Exposing the FDA’s Betrayal of America, has stated:

"Colloidal silver is the product the FDA and many mainstream medical people love to hate.

…Their worst nightmare is people taking colloidal silver to combat the H1N1 swine flu – the nightmare for them is that it might actually work.

…The high efficacy in the use of silver to kill bacteria and fungus is not in question by anyone. This does not mean it kills every type of bacteria or fungus. And in the ones it does kill it does not mean it kills all of them.

It simply means that the antibiotic properties of silver are quite potent – and the risk to human health in terms of toxicity is negligible. This is a far better risk/benefit profile than commonly used antibiotics."

Do YOU Have Access to Colloidal Silver?

The easiest and very best way to guarantee yourself life-long access to high-quality colloidal silver is to learn how to make it yourself, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

Fortunately, it is not only amazingly easy to make high-quality colloidal silver, but it’s also remarkably inexpensive to make, particularly compared to the exorbitant prices charged by health food stores and online vendors.

Colloidal Silver and Double-Minded Bureaucrats

If there’s one thing that typifies all government bureaucracy, it’s that it’s completely double-minded. 

This seems to apply even more so when the subject is colloidal silver and its usage.

For example, in the European Union (EU), colloidal silver supplements meant for ingestion are banned.  But clothing that’s been impregnated with antimicrobial nanosilver is allowed (see link below).

On the other hand, here in the U.S., colloidal silver meant for ingestion is reluctantly allowed.  But clothing impregnated with antimicrobial nanosilver is considered to be a “threat to the environment” and is largely disallowed.

That which is verboten here in the U.S. is allowed with open arms in the EU.  And that which is verboten in the EU, is allowed here in the U.S.  It’s as kooky as the Adam’s Family.

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...

The European Union banned the sale of oral colloidal silver supplements several years ago.

Yet apparently the EU has no problem with allowing the sale of nanosilver-infused clothing, such as nanosilver socks. 

In fact, as you can see at this link, in the EU companies can even claim in their advertising that nanosilver-embedded socks will kill over 600 pathogens, including the following nasty, disease-causing microbes:

·       Escherichia coli (E. coli)
·       Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
·       Chlamydia trachomatis
·       Providencia stuartii
·       Vibrio vulnificus
·       Pneumobacillus
·       Nitrate-negative bacillus
·       Candida albicans
·       Bacillus cloacae
·       Bacillus allantoides
·       Morgan's bacillus (Salmonella morgani)
·       Pseudomonas altophila
·       Pseudomonas aeruginosa
·       Neisseria gonorrhoeae
·       Bacillus subtilis
·       Bacillus foecalis alkaligenes
·       Streptococcus hemolyticus B
·       Citrobacter
·       Salmonella paratyphi C

Plus these EU clothing manufacturers claim their nanosilver socks will:

·       Prevent the occurrence of dermal infections, mycoses and eczemas and aid in their treatment.

·       Absorb sweat and by killing bacterial help eliminate unpleasant foot odour. 

·       Improve blood supply to the feet and have an overall positive effect on circulation.

·       Prevent the feeling of cold feet and decrease the risk of frostbite.

Massive Fines from EPA

As I've pointed out in previous articles (see here, for example), these antimicrobial claims for nanosilver products would bring massive fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) if they were made for consumer products sold here in the United States.

Why can claims for the antimicrobial qualities of silver be made throughout the EU, but not here in the United States? 

It's simple. 

In the U.S., the radical anti-silver environmentalists, who have been taking millions of dollars in funding from charitable foundations set up by Big Pharma (see here) have been working to force the EPA to ban the sale of consumer products that incorporate antimicrobial silver into their make-up.

I document this in my article, How Environmentalists Are Destroying the Market for Antimicrobial Silver.  And you can learn even more in my article, In Defense of Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles

What's more, here in the U.S. the radical anti-silver environmentalists have even called publicly for an EU-style ban on the sale of all colloidal silver products, and have demanded that any colloidal silver sold should be regulated as a "drug."

So while the EU apparently allows antimicrobial claims to be made for products that incorporate silver into their makeup, in the U.S. it's extremely difficult to get approval for such claims. 
On the other hand, the EU has banned the sale of colloidal silver supplements, while the U.S. has not done so…yet

It’s completely cuckoo, I know.  But that’s the way it is.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that there's simply no accounting for the double-minded nature of government bureaucracies.

But one thing we know for sure is that sooner or later bureaucrats want to regulate, or ban, just about everything

After all, the more things they claim jurisdiction over, the more powerful their reach and grasp into our daily lives.  And that’s what bureaucrats seem to live for.

That’s why it’s so important to own the means of colloidal silver production. 

If you own a home colloidal silver generator, such as the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com, you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for the rest of your life, and for less than 36 cents per quart.

That beats the heck out of paying exorbitant health food store prices of $20 or $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle!

 And more importantly, it allows you to use colloidal silver for hundreds of different purposes. (And there’s not a darned thing the double-minded bureaucrats can do about it!)

Myriad Uses for Colloidal Silver…

For example, when you own the means of colloidal silver production by obtaining a high-quality home colloidal silver generator for your family… 

·       You can use colloidal silver orally, to help boost immunity and eradicate colds and flu. 

·       You can spray colloidal silver topically onto cuts and burns to prevent infection, and to stimulate rapid wound healing.

·       You can add four or five ounces of colloidal silver to your bath water, to help rapidly clear up skin infections or other pesky skin conditions.

·       You can spray colloidal silver onto kitchen counter tops and cutting boards to kill germs, mold, mildew and other microbes.

·       You can soak your store-bought fruits and vegetables in colloidal silver to eradicate potentially harmful bacteria and fungus from the food surfaces.

·       You can clean and decontaminate faucets, door knobs, and other contact surfaces such as that filthy blade on your kitchen can opener, simply by spraying a little colloidal silver on them from time to time.

·       You can add a couple of ounces of colloidal silver to the rinse cycle of your daily laundry as a natural antiseptic agent that will keep clothes, bath towels, dish rags, and other fabrics fresh and germ-free for weeks on end.

·       You can soak your toothbrush in colloidal silver to prevent microbial contamination (your toothbrush is said to be the most bacteria-laden implement in your household, with the exception of your can opener).

·       You can spray colloidal silver directly onto the plants in your home or garden to stop fungal and bacterial outbreaks.

·       You can spray colloidal silver around sinks, bathtubs and other contact surfaces to stop mold and mildew in its tracks

·       You can spray colloidal silver on your scalp each day to stop itching and dandruff almost instantly.

In fact, there are so many powerfully beneficial ways you can use colloidal silver to protect your household and family, failing to own a high-quality colloidal silver generator makes no sense whatsoever

For example:

·       Did you realize you can use colloidal silver to stop lung infections? (See short video here.)

·       Did you realize you can make your own colloidal silver toothpaste to help heal tooth and gum infections? (See short video here.) 

·       Did you realize you can make your own colloidal silver gel and colloidal silver soap to heal skin problems?  (See short video here.) 

·       Did you realize you can heal infected boils with colloidal silver?  (See short video here.)

·       Did you realize you can heal your pets of infections with colloidal silver, and save tons of money in veterinarian bills?  (See short video here.) 

·       Did you realize you can cure sinus infections with colloidal silver, quickly and easily?  (See short video here.) 

·       Did you realize you can cure an earache with colloidal silver?  (See short video here.) 

All of this, and much more, is possible when you own the means of colloidal silver production, which is to say, when you own a high-quality home colloidal silver generator such as the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from TheSilverEdge.com.

So don’t let the double-minded bureaucrats control your access to the infection-fighting power of colloidal silver. 

In these days of strange diseases, weird infections and mutating microbes, owning the means of colloidal silver production is the #1 most important thing you can do for your family’s overall safety and well-being. 

So be sure to check out some of the links above to learn more. 

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,

Multitudes of Healing Uses for Colloidal Silver

I get emails and letters from people all of the time testifying to the multitudes of astonishing healing and infection-fighting benefits of colloidal silver.
Here’s one I received recently that pretty much typifies what happens after people overcome their initial skepticism and decide to try colloidal silver…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...
Not too long ago I received the following email from a reader who wanted me to know about the wonderful healing benefits she’d personally experienced and also witnessed within her own family, after her elderly father had introduced her to colloidal silver usage.
This letter is pretty typical of many of the hundreds and hundreds of letters I receive every year from people who, though very skeptical at first, decide to try colloidal silver to see what all of the fuss is about. 
Does colloidal silver live up to its hype?  Well, judge for yourself…
“Not Sick Since We Began Using Colloidal Silver”
“First of all let me tell you how I came to know about colloidal silver. My elderly father spent a lot of his time reading and researching.
When he came across info on your Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, he bought one and started producing the colloidal silver water. Let me say that the last several years of his life he never had the flu or a cold.

One day he sent me home with a bottle of silver water. I was somewhat skeptical but soon discovered its amazing healing powers. Here’s what happened…

Story #1:  Colloidal Silver Cures Foot Fungus in 3 Days -- My 25 yr old daughter had been treating a foot fungus with many different over the counter products, with no luck in clearing up the fungus.
She had suffered with the pain and itching for almost a month. So I encouraged her to dab on some silver water. She did and immediately the itching stopped.  
So I sent her home with a small bottle. The next day she called me....she had applied it several times that day. The pain was gone and the deep redness had changed to a pale pink.
In 3 days after first application.....fungus was gone!! I was no longer skeptical about it.

Story #2: Colloidal Silver Keeps Our Hot Tub Free of Bacteria Without Toxic Chemicals -- We have a hot tub. The water is treated with chemicals to keep it clean and sanitary. I always hated the smell and wondered what those chemicals were doing to my body.
And if I had forgotten to treat my hot tub for a week or so it would start turning green and smell bad. Then I would have to "shock" the tub with extra chemicals. So I thought, if silver water kills bad bacteria then why not try it in the hot tub?
A year ago, we drained the tub, refilled it and poured in a quart of the silver water. I doubted that it would work due to the fact that the tub is full of water from the hose which has lots of other minerals in it.
But I am amazed! My hot tub has remained ph balanced and clear-as-can-be for the past year. No green water, no smell and best of all no chemicals. And my husband and I have noticed that we have not had any skin irritations.
One quart a week, much cheaper than those chemicals because we make our own silver water with your generator!

Story #3:  Colloidal Silver Heals Lupus Lesions – I have a friend who has Lupus. She has horrible skin eruptions. I wish I had pictures of this.
She is a real skeptic on alternative medicine. It took a lot of encouraging to convince her to try the silver water. Finally I asked her "If everything your doctors have prescribed hasn't worked, then why not try this?"
So she tried it, dabbing it on several times a day. Instead of the lesions taking months to heal, they started healing up within the week.
I have yet been able to convince her to drink it. Doctors are ‘God’ to her. She has not kept up the treatments with the silver water therefore she is covered again in horrible lesions.
I do hope that you will hear from someone else with Lupus who has shown great success. I know it works and helps with the lesions....I just wish she would use it regularly.

Many other ailments I've personally seen colloidal silver water heal are these:
·        grandchild with pink eye, cleared up in a day
·        friends child with MRSA., gone in 3 days
·        burns, immediately relieves the pain and doesn't blister
·        also great for sunburns (spray it on)

Here’s more:

I started getting an abscess tooth, so I rinsed with the colloidal silver water 2 x per day. In 3 days it was cleared up.

Sore throats (myself and others): gargle & swallow, 2-3 days-gone.

My husband and I drink a shot glass (about 1 oz) every night before bed. We've been doing this for about 4 years now. Neither one of us has been sick since. And I should mention, we've been around people who were sick and didn't catch anything.

My father bought me the generator and extra silver wires. The best gift he could've given me.....improved health!

He passed away July 2009 due to pulmonary embolism because of a broken leg. He was 84 and pretty healthy otherwise. I believe if it had not been for that fall he would've lived to be 100.

Thank you for letting me share. I would love to hear about others who use colloidal silver. And feel free to contact me for any reason.”

Glaring “Indications”

The FDA obligates me to remind readers that anecdotal reports like this are not proof of efficacy.  After all, there’s no way to quantify them. 

So I prefer to think of them as glaring “indications” that more clinical research into the healing and infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver need to be done.

Meanwhile, you can read hundreds more of these glaring “indications” from experienced colloidal silver users on the Testimonials page at TheSilverEdge.com website. 

After all, the very best way to learn how to effectively use a natural substance like colloidal silver is to read how experienced users have already done so.

What’s more, if you’re interested in digging really deeply into the science and medical reports behind colloidal silver usage, you can read over 80 medical studies, white papers and reports on the effectiveness of colloidal silver at this link.

Make Your Own

Finally, if you’d like to learn how to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for less than 36 cents a quart, just click the link in this sentence.

After all, why pay $20 to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver at your local health food store when you can make it yourself for the rest of your life for pennies per quart – just like Nancy S. from Topeka, KS and thousands of other people like her do? 

When you make your own high-quality colloidal silver with a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you’ll be able to use it for literally hundreds of healing purposes, just like these people have. 

You can even bathe in it if you want.  It’s the best thing in the world for soothing rough, dry skin, or even serious skin eruptions. Just add one quart per bath, and soak! 

What’s more, making your own high-quality colloidal silver for just pennies per quart is as close as you’re ever going to get to enjoying free colloidal silver for the rest of your life! 

And it’s so easy to do, you’re going to be astonished you’ve waited this long to try it.

I’ll be back next week with another great article on colloidal silver…

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible use of colloidal silver,
