The CDC announced this
week that the nation has hit the “flu epidemic threshold nationwide.”
The red states in
the map at the left are areas of high flu activity. Orange states have moderate flu activity, and
the green and yellow states have low to minimal flu activity at present (late December
2014).
The flu bug
appears to be gradually spreading from the east coast where there’s heavy flu
activity, to the west coast where it’s low to minimal, but where more states
are turning from green and yellow, to orange.
So how can you use
colloidal silver to help prevent (and stop) the flu? Here’s some helpful article links containing
ideas you might want to consider following through on…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The
Silver Edge…
According to the CDC, “the U.S. has hit the flu epidemic threshold
nationwide.”
Apparently, the proportion of deaths reported in 122 key U.S. cities
from pneumonia and influenza “surpassed the seasonal baseline and currently
stands at the epidemic threshold.”
What’s more, the number of states reporting high flu activity has also
increased from 13 to 22.
Colloidal Silver
and the Flu
Millions of people swear by colloidal silver during cold and flu
season.
Some take colloidal silver prophylactically, as a means of preventing
infection. And others only take it when they’re
sick with a cold or flu, as a means of shortening its duration and preventing
secondary infections (such as pneumonia) from setting in.
Here are four short, but information-packed articles offering numerous
tips, tricks and personal accounts for the very best ways to use colloidal
silver during cold and flu season to both help prevent infections, and to help shorten
the duration of such an infection should you get one:
What’s more, here are three clinical studies proving the powerful
antiviral qualities of colloidal silver, particularly against upper respiratory
viruses such as cold and flu viruses:
See also www.ColloidalSilverKillsViruses.com
for additional information on the powerful antiviral properties of colloidal
silver.
Silver Also Kills the
Secondary Infections
As this clinical
report from Dr. Eric Gordon, MD and Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD points out,
colloidal silver has been proven to be effective against 24 of the major
viruses known to be causative of URTIs, i.e., upper respiratory tract
infections, such as the flu.
But the efficacy of colloidal silver (which they refer to in their
report as oligodynamic silver, meaning only very small amounts are needed to do
the job) extends far beyond its powerful antiviral qualities.
Indeed, not only has colloidal silver been demonstrated to decimate many
of the viruses associated with serious flu infections, but it has also been
proven to decimate most of the well-known bacterial pathogens that cause
serious secondary infections during a battle with the flu, including the following:
- Streptococcus pneumonia
- Corynebacterium diphtheriae
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Haemophilus influenzae
- Bordetella pertussis
- Mycobacterium (Tuberculosis)
- Inflammatory conditions
- Spring Catarrh
- Pneumococci
- Pneumonia
It is these secondary bacterial infections that often severely
debilitate the infected individual, once the flu virus has sufficiently
weakened the body.
But colloidal silver’s powerful, broad-spectrum anti-pathogen qualities
covers such a wide range of pathogens you can easily see why the authors of the
clinical report – both respected medical doctors -- refer to it as “the final solution
to the coming plagues.”
7 Important Steps
to Take Now
Here are 7 important steps you should consider taking right now in
order to protect yourself and your family against cold and flu viruses:
- Step #1: Get a high-quality colloidal silver generator NOW, so you can make all of the colloidal silver you and your family will need, for less than 36 cents a quart.
During severe flu seasons such as the one upon us, health food stores
are often stripped bare of those over-priced commercial brands of colloidal
silver.
But owning a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from
The Silver Edge (see above link) puts you in the driver’s seat, allowing you to
produce quart after quart of colloidal silver for the rest of your life,
anytime you need it, for just a few
pennies per quart!
We strongly recommend the brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator, because the most recent studies have demonstrated that the smaller
the silver particle size, the more effective silver is at preventing even the
most deadly of viruses from bonding with the human cell host. And if viruses
can’t bond with their human cell host, then they can’t replicate and spread.
They are dead in the water, so to speak.
The Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator produces silver
particles as small as .0008 microns in size (.8 nm), which is a fraction of a single nanometer.
That’s an astonishingly small particle size. Plus, unlike other
generators that can only make small eight ounce or 16 ounce batches at a time,
the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator makes a full quart at
a time, and it is as easy to use as a coffee maker.
You can even make gallon-sized batches, if you want (see video
demonstration here).
- Step #2: Stock up on steam-distilled water.
Pure steam-distilled water makes the very best colloidal silver. Make
sure you get at least four or five gallons, so you can make plenty of colloidal
silver for family members, neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. should the disease
continue to spread as predicted.
Distilled water keeps for months or even years at a time. You don’t have
to worry about it going bad. Just buy four or five gallons and set it on a
shelf in the garage, or indoors in a cabinet or closet. Then use it as you need
it to make colloidal silver.
Steam-distilled water is available from just about any major chain
supermarket for under $2 a gallon. We have always had good luck with the pure
steam-distilled water from Wal-Mart, which is even cheaper, averaging about a
buck a gallon in most parts of the country.
- Step #3: Get several small pump spray bottles that you can use to spray colloidal silver with.
Pump spray bottles are important because they are so versatile. First of
all, they allow you to spray a fine colloidal silver “mist” over areas such as
countertops, door knobs, toilet handles, knobs and faucets or any other high
contact surface areas where bacteria, viruses and other pathogens can concentrate
and infect others.
The tiny silver particles air dry to the surface, and provide many hours
of protection. During a health crisis, do this every time a visitor comes and
goes from your house.
Secondly, you can use a pump spray bottle to lightly “mist” the air in
your home with colloidal silver, walking from room to room and spraying toward
the ceilings in order to let the ambient air carry the light silver mist
throughout the room.
Third, you can use a pump spray bottle to “huff” colloidal silver. In
other words, if you’ve been around a person you think may have been infected,
you can go home and open your mouth and spray a light mist of colloidal silver
directly into your mouth while simultaneously breathing in deeply in order to
get the tiny silver particles deep down into your lungs where viruses may have
lodged.
Fourth, knowing that viruses and other pathogens often enter through the
eyes and ears, you can use your pump spray bottle to lightly spray the outside
of your ear, behind your ear, and even directly into your eyes.
Additionally, pump spray bottles are great for spraying colloidal silver onto open sores, cuts, burns or other wounds, in order to keep them infection-free. Simply spray lightly over the affected area, and then let it air dry. The tiny particles of colloidal silver will adhere to the affected area, and protect it, also increasing healing time, which is vital when infections of any kind are rampant.

You can use plastic or glass pump spray bottles. Glass is always
preferable if you plan on storing colloidal silver in the pump spray bottle for
months at a time. But plastic will work just fine for shorter periods of time
between refills, such as a few weeks to a month at a time.
Pump spray bottles can usually be found at your local Wal-Mart, in local
health food stores, or even in the gardening department of your local Home
Depot or similar store.
If they’re sold out, go to the over-the-counter medicines department in
your local pharmacy, and buy a pump spray bottle full of Chloraseptic, or
Triaminic, or any other “sore throat spray.”
You can take the bottle home, dump the contents, clean the bottle out
thoroughly with soap and warm water, and then rinse again thoroughly with warm
water. Then fill it with colloidal silver.
There are also many online resources for glass pump bottles, including some of the ones in the following article, “Online Sources for Glass Containers for Making, Storing and Using Colloidal Silver.”
- Step #4: Get a small nasal “squeeze spray” bottle so you can spray colloidal silver up your nose and get it deeply into your sinuses, should you feel an infection coming on, or should you be exposed to a person who may be infected.
Carry this in your pocket or purse, or in your car, with you at all
times, particularly during cold and flu season. These little nasal “squeeze
spray” bottles are generally available at any Wal-Mart or pharmacy.
For about a dollar, you can go to any local pharmacy and purchase a tiny, two ounce plastic nasal spray bottle full of saline solution, which is used by allergy sufferers to clean their nasal passages and sinuses.
For about a dollar, you can go to any local pharmacy and purchase a tiny, two ounce plastic nasal spray bottle full of saline solution, which is used by allergy sufferers to clean their nasal passages and sinuses.
Simply open the lid, pull the little plastic spray tip off the top of
the bottle, dump the saline solution out, rinse the inside of the bottle
thoroughly with warm water, and then re-fill it with colloidal silver.
Filling the bottle only half-way actually makes it “mist” better when
you spray it up your nose; you want that fine mist because it carries the tiny
silver particles deep into the sinuses and even into the lungs, where any
hidden viruses can be dealt with).
(For more detailed “how to” instructions, see “How
to Make a Colloidal Silver Nasal Spray Bottle.”)
- Step #5: Get a couple of eye-droppers while you’re out visiting your local Wal-Mart or pharmacy.
As I mentioned earlier, viruses and other pathogens often enter the body
at the eyes and ears.
For example, when you shake hands with an infected person, or touch a
countertop, door handle, or other surface which have viruses on them, and then
inadvertently touch your finger to your eye or ear, you can easily become
infected.
But you can often stop the infection dead in its tracks simply by
applying a few drops of colloidal silver to the eyes or ears.
During cold and flu season, I apply a drop or two of colloidal silver to
my eyes up to several times a day, anytime I’ve been out in public where people
have been coughing around me.
And under those same circumstances, I’ll put a drop or two into my ear
canal at night, when I lay down to sleep.
For more information, see my short video on how
to use colloidal silver in the ears.
- Step #6: Get surgical style face masks, so if a severe flu outbreak strikes your area and you absolutely have to go out in public, you’ll have at least some measure of protection from breathing in the viral pathogen.
You’ve no doubt seen the televised news reports of health authorities
and police using surgical style face masks on the streets during severe flu
outbreaks.
But when flu outbreaks get that severe, the masks are usually sold out
virtually overnight. So you should do
everything you can to get some surgical style face masks as quickly as
possible. They’re even available on
Amazon.com. Just use their search
function to search for “surgical face masks.”
I recently found surgical face masks at our local Wal-Mart, and some
more at our local retail Croal’s Rexall pharmacy, last night. Painters face masks will do in a pinch, if
you can’t find surgical masks. You can get painter’s face masks at any paint
supply store, hardware store, Home Depot, etc.
If you can’t find face masks, get oversized neckerchiefs from your local Wal-Mart or clothing store, and use those like a face mask, just like you’ve seen them do in the old cowboy movies when the bad guys cover their faces from the nose down in order to avoid recognition, or like the cattle hands do in order to keep from breathing in dust during a cattle stampede.

The point is to get something that’s easy enough to breathe through to
cover your nose and mouth, and yet just thick enough to help filter out aerial
viruses and other pathogens from people around you coughing.
- Step #7: Get a few pump bottles of liquid hand soap while you’re out shopping, and add some colloidal silver to it, in order to make your own antimicrobial hand soap.
As you know, health authorities always emphasize that washing your hands
repeatedly during the day is of utmost importance during a serious flu
outbreak. And they’re right.
Using a good, high-quality antimicrobial soap is vital for keeping the flu
bug from spreading from person to person, and from contact surface to contact surface.
This is why doctors in hospital environments use antimicrobial soap every
single day. So making your own antimicrobial
soap with colloidal silver, for use during cold and flu season, is just plain
smart.
See this short “how to” video, demonstrating how
to make your own colloidal silver gel and colloidal silver soap.
Short of that, simply use your pump spray bottle (see Step #3 above) to lightly spray your hands with colloidal silver after washing and drying them.

Then let them air dry by waving your hands in the air for a moment. The
tiny silver particles will adhere to your skin and provide an added layer of
protection against pathogens of all sorts.
