Dr. Oz and Actress Gwyneth Paltrow Endorse Colloidal Silver

What do TV’s Dr. Oz and Hollywood glamour gal Gwyneth Paltrow have in common?

You might be surprised to learn it’s a mutual love for colloidal silver!

And now they’ve both publicly endorsed it, on The Dr. Oz Show.

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

TV’s Dr. Oz has publicly endorsed colloidal silver usage…again, for the third time in the past 18 months.

This time, he’s done so along with Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, author of the best-selling new natural health cookbook, It’s All Good.

I’ll tell you exactly what they said about colloidal silver in just a minute. But first, a little background…

“Antibacterial, Antifungal and Antiviral”

As you may remember, Dr. Oz first publicly endorsed colloidal silver usage on his television program, The Dr. Oz Show back on February 9, 2012.

During the show, he dubbed colloidal silver a great remedy for sore throats, and said other sore throat remedies don’t work as well because they don’t address the root cause of the problem, which of course, is the infection.

Then, in another episode of his show in February 2013, he introduced his viewers to his father-in-law, the world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Gerald Lemole, M.D., and explained that his father-in-law often incurred the wrath of his fellow medical doctors by recommending natural treatments when he felt they were called for.

When Dr. Oz pressed his father-in-law for information on what kind of natural treatments he uses in his own household, Dr. Lemole replied that one of his favorites was colloidal silver, saying, “Colloidal silver is antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral, and it’s really good stuff for if you feel an oncoming sore throat, or even if you have a wound. You can spray it on your wound.”

Dr. Oz agreed with him, and even allowed his father-in-law to reach over with a pump-spray bottle of colloidal silver and playfully spray some into his throat, hitting Dr. Oz on the chin with some of the silver spray by mistake.

So twice in a one-year period Dr. Oz publicly endorsed the use of colloidal silver on his television show.

Now, on the August 29, 2013 episode of The Dr. Oz Show, both Dr. Oz and well-known actress Gwyneth Paltrow – star of numerous Hollywood films and winner of an Oscar for her performance as Lady Viola in Shakespeare in Love -- heartily endorsed colloidal silver usage.

Indeed, after talking about her new book on natural health cooking for a few minutes, Dr. Oz then took Gwyneth Paltrow over to an onstage display of Paltro’s four favorite natural health remedies, and asked her to explain how she uses each one.

Here’s a partial transcript of what they said, from the segment on colloidal silver:

Dr. Oz: (gesturing toward a tiny bottle of colloidal silver) The next trick is to help avoid germs.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Yes.

Dr. Oz: There’s actually a TON of data behind it. Please share it with everyone.

Gwyneth Paltrow: (taking the bottle of colloidal silver and holding it up) Okay. Well, people think I’m insane because when I get on an airplane, when I get to my seat, I spray this all over my seat, and then under my tongue, because the research says that colloidal silver really keeps viruses away. It’s a real viral-repellant. So I use that a lot, especially when we’re traveling. I spray the kid’s seats and people think “What is this crazy woman doing?”

Dr. Oz: This actually was the first antibiotic. It was silver.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Was it?

Dr. Oz: Yes. They used to put silver coins in milk to keep the milk clean. These are accepted therapies. And you know, we haven’t thought about it very much, because we have antibiotics. But this is a very smart way of killing of stuff. We actually, in our family, are crazy about squirting it in our throat. It’s our throat spray, our everyday throat spray. We squirt it in there, and off we go. Do you do that too?

Gwyneth Paltrow: Yes, absolutely.

Dr. Oz: What do you think of the taste?

Gwyneth Paltrow: I don’t think it’s so bad. It’s pretty mellow.

Dr. Oz: It’s pretty neutral. But we have some fun home remedies for making it taste more palatable for the kids. If you make it taste good for the kids, they actually will believe it’s something important for them. Okay?

Gwyneth Paltrow: That’s true!

Dr. Oz: By the way, all of these remedies are available in health food stores.

And that was the end of the segment on colloidal silver. Yes, it was very short. Maybe one day Dr. Oz will do a full show on the benefits of colloidal silver. We can only hope.

But until then, we have to be thankful that a man with such a huge national following has been willing to thrust colloidal silver firmly into the limelight three times in the past 18 months, however briefly!

Bringing Truth to Light

As you can see, Dr. Oz seemed particularly enamored of using colloidal silver as a daily throat spray for the entire family, to help keep germs away.

And Gwyneth Paltrow seemed to be more interested in using it externally, as a viral disinfectant, as well as under the tongue, as an antiviral remedy. (It makes me wonder if she’s read my website, Colloidal Silver Kills Viruses.)

Of course, colloidal silver is well-known for its profound antibacterial and antiviral qualities. Those are indeed two of the most obvious and beneficial uses of colloidal silver.

But you can learn dozens more ways people use colloidal silver to fight infection and disease – even serious diseases like MRSA and food poisoning -- on the Colloidal Silver Success Stories website.

Obviously, this kind of publicity for colloidal silver from such nationally recognized celebrities and well-known natural health proponents can only be good.

And that’s particularly true since the FDA has been so adamant about keeping knowledge of colloidal silver usage suppressed by passing regulations making it illegal for colloidal silver manufacturers to tell the American public about its astonishing array of infection-fighting benefits.

So kudos to Dr. Oz and to Gwyneth Paltrow for taking a public stand on behalf of safe, natural colloidal silver, and helping bring it to the attention of the American public who are still largely unaware of its powerful and medically documented healing and infection-fighting qualities.

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

Colloidal Silver Comes to Jamaica

It’s always heartening to hear about it when people first experience the powerful infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver, and quickly become astonished at its effectiveness.

In this case, colloidal silver has apparently been introduced to the small island nation of Jamaica by a local named Devon Hall. And Jamaicans are experiencing such wondrous results, the oldest and largest newspaper on the island has picked up on the story.

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

In the news article at this link, dated June 15, 2013, and published in The Gleaner, one of the oldest and most popular newspapers in Jamaica, reporter Carl Gilchrist explains that Jamaican residents “are reporting amazing health benefits” after using colloidal silver, and are “dubbing it the miracle water.”

According to Gilchrist, a local man named Devon Hall had been introduced to colloidal silver usage while in London, and had learned how to use the liquid substance to heal his chronic sinus problems.

After moving to Jamaica, Hall enthusiastically started bottling and selling colloidal silver there in 2010.

The results, apparently, have proven to be phenomenal. And the Jamaican news media is now picking up on the story.

According to Gilchrist’s article, Jamaicans using Hall’s colloidal silver preparation have experienced remarkable healings, including:

· Healing of enlarged prostate

· Lupus symptoms going into remission

· Lowered blood sugar levels and diabetes symptoms reduced

· Pain relief

· Chronic sinus problems healed

· Ear infections healed

· Yeast infections healed

· And more

In one case, according to Gilchrist’s article, a Jamaican named Norman Campbell was scheduled for prostate surgery due to an overly-enlarged prostate that was stopping his urine flow and causing him to have to wear a catheter just to urinate.

He reported that after three months of using Hall’s colloidal silver solution daily, his prostate swelling was reduced to the point his catheter actually fell out. The doctors apparently canceled his surgery after finding that the prostate had returned to normal size.

Growing Popularity Worldwide

Of course, while colloidal silver usage may be relatively new to some areas of the world, such as Jamaica, it has been one of the most popular nutritional supplements in North America for many decades now.

Indeed, colloidal silver is sold in virtually every well-stocked health food store in America and Canada, and in pharmacies throughout Mexico as well.

According to many sources, there’s an estimated 10 million colloidal silver users in North America alone, not to mention millions more across Europe and Asia.

So experience with colloidal silver is growing by leaps and bounds, worldwide. And that may be why Big Pharma is working, through its many shills and intermediaries, to have colloidal silver banned from the marketplace (see here, here and here).

After all, millions of people around the world are now abandoning the use of toxic prescription antibiotic drugs in favor of the infection-fighting qualities of safe, natural colloidal silver.

Here in the U.S., colloidal silver is widely used for many of the same purposes described by reporter Gilchrist in his news article about the introduction of colloidal silver to Jamaica.

For example, John K. of Aledo, TX recently wrote that colloidal silver appears to have healed his low-grade prostate infection, stating:

“When I bought my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, I had a problem of getting up 5 times a night to go to the bathroom.

I bought the large book on colloidal silver and read where sometime frequent bathroom visits are caused by a low grade prostate infection, it will not show up on most tests by doctors.

So I started taking a daily dose of colloidal silver and in a very short time, among other benefits, my night time trips cut back to 2 and have remained so to the present. Thank you so much.”

-- John F. Kolar, Aledo, TX

Reader “P.H.” of Moreno, Valley CA reports a similar story of healing of his prostate symptoms:

“I've used colloidal silver made with the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator for a number of things.

I've had symptoms consistent with an enlarged prostate, mostly urinary, such as having to go a lot, urgency in going, etc.

My symptoms disappeared in less than 2 weeks…All symptoms completely disappeared!”

You can read literally hundreds of similar accounts in which people have used colloidal silver to heal an astonishing array of infections and illnesses, at the Colloidal Silver Testimonials page on The Silver Edge website.

Of course, the FDA requires me to tell you at this point that testimonials and anecdotal accounts do not constitute medical proof of efficacy. And, of course, they don’t.

But they are good indicators that something is happening, and that more clinical research needs to be done into the healing and infection-fighting benefits of colloidal silver.

Over 80 Medical Studies and White Papers

And speaking of clinical research, are you aware that over 80 medical studies and white papers demonstrating the effectiveness of colloidal silver against a phenomenal range of infectious microorganisms can be accessed at the Clinical Studies and Reports page on The Silver Edge website?

And did you realize that you can find hundreds of Expert Quotes on Colloidal Silver on that same website – quotes from respected medical experts, experienced clinical researchers, famous publications, best-selling authors and more, all attesting to the healing and infection-fighting benefits of colloidal silver?

You see, while the powerful healing and antimicrobial qualities of safe, natural colloidal silver may be relatively “new” information to some people, the truth is, medical science has known about and used electrically generated colloidal silver in various forms for over 100 years.

As Alfred Searle wrote way back in 1919, in his book, The Use of Colloids in Health and Disease:

"Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results...it has the advantage of being rapidly fatal to parasites without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable. It protects rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanus or diphtheria toxin."

And as Sir Malcolm Morris wrote in the British Medical Journal in May of 1917:

Colloidal silver "has a distinctly soothing effect. It rapidly subdues inflammation and promotes healing of the lesions, it can be used with remarkable results in enlarged prostate with irritation of the bladder, in pruritis ani, and perineal eczema, and in haemorrhoids."

And as written in The National Druggist (Vol. 50, page 338) in August 1920:

"Colloidal silver is powerfully destructive of toxins of bacterial origin...

…Properly prepared, it is extremely stable...[and] has been proved most useful in the treatment of diseases of the eye, the nose, and the ear...

…colloidal silver has proved its value in combating the following ailments among others -- tonsilitis, gonorrhoeal conjunctivitis, spring catarrh, pustular eczema of scalp, septic ulcers of legs, boils, chronic cystitis, ringworm, soft sores.

But we must not prolong the list of the good works of colloidal silver. Suffice it that at the present time it is the most extensively used in medicine of all the sols."

What’s more, silver metal by itself has been used for its powerful healing and antiseptic qualities since the time of Hippocrates, some 460 years before the time of Christ.

According to Dr. J. Wesley Alexander, M.D., writing in an article titled History of the Medical Use of Silver, published in the journal Surgical Infections (Vol. 10. Number 3, 2009), “Hippocrates used silver preparations for the treatment of ulcers and to promote wound healing.”

Dr. Alexander also noted Herodotus, the Father of Ancient History, stated that “No Persian king, including Cirrus (i.e., Cyrus), would drink water that was not transported in silver containers, which kept the water fresh for years. This was particularly important in military conflicts, where fresh water from natural sources was not readily available.”

The bottom line being this: Silver’s often wondrous healing, antimicrobial and infection-fighting properties have been known and documented for literally thousands of years.

And while millions of people worldwide are gradually discovering this safe, natural substance and it’s many healing uses, there’s still a long way to go in getting the word out, since the FDA has now banned colloidal silver vendors from discussing it’s powerful infection-fighting qualities in their advertising or labeling.

Thankfully, many cutting edge medical doctors and clinical researchers are catching on to the often astonishing healing and infection-fighting benefits of colloidal silver, and are heartily recommending it.

As Harvard educated Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., of the famous Tahoma Clinic in Washington state, has written:

"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…

…Beginning in the 1970s, several independent researchers found that silver ions easily destroy Candida and other fungi. But it wasn't until a pilot study during the mid- 1990s that included human patients suffering from terminal AIDS that medical researchers established solid evidence showing just how quick and effective silver ions can be in the treatment of Candida as well as HIV.

In this study, nine individuals who were near death were divided into two subgroups. One group suffered from HIV and a terrible Candida infection. The other group suffered from both HIV and an extreme form of malnutrition (known as Wasting Syndrome).

The researchers found that in both groups the colloidal silver was capable of killing pathogens and purging the bloodstream of germ defenses in order to restore the immune system."

And 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."

As Dr. James F. Balch, M.D. has stated on page 66 of his best-selling book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing:

"Taken internally, colloidal silver can be used to fight infection. It has been shown to be effective against more that 650 disease-causing organisms, including Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans."

And as Dr. Ron Surowitz, D.O., M.D., former head of the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association has written:

"Sometimes a treatment can be worse than the illness, but not in the case of Colloidal Silver.

I have my patients spray or swish Colloidal Silver in their mouths from one to three times daily, depending on the severity of their condition…or, in a dose of one quarter to one teaspoon, and even up to one tablespoon, one to three times daily for situations that are more problematic.

I also have them use it in small amounts daily as a preventative...It's interesting how many of my patients improve with the use of Colloidal Silver. It enhances the immune system where other antibiotics cause yeast overgrowth...

...[As an example] one patient had persistent yeast infections. Having had no success with both prescription and non-prescription treatments, she called me, at her wit's end.

I suggested that she try a douche of two teaspoons of Colloidal Silver in a quart of water. Three days later she was evaluated in my office. The symptoms of her yeast infection had vanished, and there was no visible sign of infection."

And as the prestigious American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine has written in their Physician & Practitioner Administered Procedures and Therapies guide:

"Often called the 'penicillin of alternative medicine,' colloidal silver disables the enzymes that bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi rely on to use oxygen. Unable to 'breathe,' the organisms die and are eliminated from the body.

While an antibiotic drug may kill several types of disease organisms, colloidal silver delivers the kiss of death to at least 650 disease organisms. In addition, colloidal silver can be taken over long periods of time because microorganisms cannot develop a resistance to it.

…Among the conditions colloidal silver has controlled are severe burns, acne, boils, candida and yeast infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive problems and colitis, ear and sinus infections, herpes, shingles, lupus, malaria, viral and fungal infections, blood parasites, rheumatoid arthritis, and ringworm.

Colloidal silver can be taken internally in a small amount of distilled drinking water. It also can be applied topically to cuts and open sores and can be inhaled or sprayed using an atomizer."

Using Colloidal Silver to Cure Parvo in Dogs

Here’s a new video explaining how people use colloidal silver to cure dogs infected with Parvovirus, including puppies and large dogs alike. Plus, some anecdotal insights on keeping your dog properly nourished and hydrated during a Parvo infecton.

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

While there's no clinical or published veterinary evidence that colloidal silver can be used to cure Parvovirus in dogs, there's TONS of anecdotal evidence.

Indeed, people have been using colloidal silver on their "Parvo puppies" (and grown dogs with Parvo, as well) for many years, and often with great success, as this video attests.

Anecdotal Insights…

Based on anecdotal accounts, the key seems to be to keep the puppies (or grown dogs) well hydrated, because they don't like to eat or drink when they have Parvovirus. So Pedialyte for animals (available from the veterinarian, or local pet store), or some other hydrating fluid is given orally throughout the day.

Because a Parvo-infected dog likely won't eat or drink voluntarily due to the deleterious effects of the virus on the dog’s stomach, most of the time an eyedropper must be used to orally administer such hydrating liquids to small puppies.

Or, for larger dogs a 10 cc plastic syringe (without the needle, of course) can be used. Even a simple turkey baster can be used for larger dogs if you can't find a plastic syringe at your local pharmacy (where they’re often sold to administer over-the-counter medications to children; check with your pharmacist).

Some people recommend pouring a capsule full of Lactobacillus acidophilus (a beneficial digestive microorganism available at any health food store) into the veterinary Pedialyte before administering it to the dog. That's because the beneficial digestive microbes will compete for space in the puppy's tummy with the Parvovirus (i.e., called "competitive inhibition") and will also help prevent some of the diarrhea, as well as help heal the damage to the stomach lining being done by the virus.

Some people also recommend trying to feed a Parvo-infected dog with strained baby food (i.e., well-strained chicken, for example) in order to get some nourishment into them, since their tummies will not be able to tolerate regular food.

Others recommend a commercial product called Nutristat (available online), which is a gel-like paste that can easily be applied to the dog's gum line above the teeth, if he or she won't eat at all. Nutristat contains nutrients, electrolytes, fats and protein, and is used to help nourish the dog while eating is problematic due to the virus.

Colloidal Silver Dosage

Finally, colloidal silver is also administered orally, multiple times throughout the day until the dog's appetite returns and the Parvo symptoms are gone. This can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

While anecdotal accounts vary in terms of the dosages used, for "parvo puppies" in which the disease is caught early, some people administer up to five eyedroppers full of 10 ppm colloidal silver, up to five times a day, until the puppy’s appetite returns and Parvo symptoms abate.

And for larger dogs some people use up to five, 10cc plastic syringes full (again, no needle) of colloidal silver, orally, up to five times a day, until the dog's appetite returns and Parvo symptoms are gone.

So be sure to watch the video on using colloidal silver to cure parvo in dogs, at this link.

And watch my previous video at this link on how to administer colloidal silver orally, to dogs and other pets when they’re sick.

In conclusion, colloidal silver is not a "guaranteed" cure for Parvo in dogs, as even veterinary-treated dogs often die of Parvo (up to 80% of the time). But the anecdotal evidence for its efficacy is significant, as the example in the above video attests, particularly if you also keep the infected dog hydrated and nourished.

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

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