Colloidal Silver and the Flu Epidemic of 2015

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.

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.

How to Use Colloidal Silver in a Hot Tub or Spa

 Learn more about the infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
I get a lot of questions from spa and hot tub owners asking if colloidal silver can be used as a disinfectant, in place of harsh and potentially toxic chemicals such as chlorine and bromine. 

The answer is:  Yes, absolutely!  Here’s what I’ve learned from my own personal experience, and what others say, as well…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

In my 500 gallon hot tub, I use one quart per week of 10 ppm micro-particle colloidal silver to completely eliminate the use of harsh chemicals such as chlorine and bromine.

In fact, since years ago when I started adding one quart of 10 ppm colloidal silver per week to my hot tub water, I haven’t since had to use chlorine, bromine or any other chemical.  And I only change out the water in the tub once a year. 

A reader recently wrote on this same subject, and her experience reflects my own:

"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 silver water.

I doubted that it would work due to the fact that the tub is full of water from the hose with plenty of minerals in it.

I am amazed! My hot tub has remained ph balanced and clear as can be for the past year. No green, no smell and best of all no chemicals.

And my husband and I have noticed that we have not had any skin irritations.

We use just one quart of 10 ppm colloidal silver a week, which is much cheaper than those chemicals because we make our own silver water with your Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator for about 36 cents a quart!"

-- Nancy S., Topeka KS

Getting Started With Colloidal Silver

It’s true.  For about 36 cents a week (the cost to make a quart of colloidal silver with a high-quality colloidal silver generator), you can completely replace your chlorine, bromine and other harsh chemicals with safe, natural mineral silver that’s widely known for its powerful skin-soothing and healing benefits.

Most people who make the switch from using harsh chemicals to colloidal silver in their hot tub or spa tell me they first completely empty their tub, scrub it thoroughly, rinse it, and refill it with fresh, clean water. 

Then they start out with two quarts of 10 ppm colloidal silver to "shock" the water. 

After the first week, they reduce the amount to a single quart per week, and watch to see if the water remains fresh and crystal clear while using the tub as per usual.   

If the water in the hot tub or spa remains sparkling fresh and clear, and if there’s no slime on the inside of the tub, they stick with one quart of colloidal silver per week, from that point forward. 

But if the water does not remain fresh and clear, they gradually increase their weekly colloidal silver hot tub infusion until they find the amount that keeps the tub water crystal clear, and with no slime on the inside of the tub. 

Based on my own experience and that of others I’ve communicated with, for most hot tubs and spas adding only one quart of 10 ppm colloidal silver per week does the trick!

However, there are a number of variables that can determine whether or not you might have to add extra colloidal silver from time-to-time.  For example, here are four important variables:

·       How much water the tub holds…

·       How often the tub is used…

·       Whether or not people are allowed into the tub with suntan lotion or skin cream on…

·       How much sun exposure the water in your hot tub or spa gets…

The more water your tub holds, the more colloidal silver has to be used each week.  And if the tub is being used very frequently, it might require additional infusions of colloidal silver from time-to-time, as well.

Also, if people use the tub with suntan lotion or skin cream on, some of the lotion will inevitably wash off into the water.  When that happens, some of the tiny, healing silver particles will bond with the lotion in the water, forming larger silver particle agglomerates that will be quickly removed from the water by the hot tub filters. 

In such a case, colloidal silver would have to be added to the tub water more frequently than just once per week in order to maintain water freshness and disinfection.

Finally, if the hot tub water is regularly exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time (i.e., hours at a time), the light will gradually neutralize some of the silver particles, and larger weekly infusions of colloidal silver might be needed in such a case. 

But in general, a single quart of 10 ppm colloidal silver per week does the trick in most hot tubs and spas.  And you can always add more if needed. 

Give It a Try!

So if you own a hot tub or spa, and you’re sick and tired of the way the harsh disinfectant chemicals make you feel, you might consider giving colloidal silver a try in the hot tub water, instead. 

·       Of course, it’s best if you make your own colloidal silver with a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, which allows you to make quart after quart for less than 36 cents per quart.

·       You can even make large, gallon-sized batches, if you want (see video How to Make Big Batches of Colloidal Silver), so you’ll always have plenty of colloidal silver available for your hot tub or spa, as well as your household uses and your personal healing uses.

After you’ve been using colloidal silver in your hot tub or spa water for a few weeks, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how soothing to your skin the water becomes, as well as how quickly stubborn skin irritations tend to disappear!

And more importantly, you’ll be surprised at how sparkling fresh and clear the colloidal silver will keep your tub water as long as regular maintenance (i.e., filters cleaned, fresh colloidal silver added each week) is performed.

In Russia, people drive hundreds of miles to soak and swim in Sweet Lake, which has been called Russia’s healing “colloidal silver lake” thanks to the high silver content of the water. 

They go there because the high silver content of the water helps boost immunity and aid in the healing of allergies, skin conditions, and more.   

But if you have a hot tub, you can make your own healing “colloidal silver lake” at home.  There’s no need to go to Russia. Just add colloidal silver, soak and enjoy.  It’s really that simple!

Give it a try, and tell me about your results on the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community on Facebook

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,

Colloidal Silver Working Against Ebola in West Africa!

 Learn more about the astonishing infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com...
According to news reports coming out of Sierra Leone, West Africa, there’s been a very surprising turn of events in regards to the Ebola crisis. 

Apparently, at least several shipments of nanosilver -- colloidal silver composed of very small particles of silver suspended in water -- appear to have made it into West African countries where Ebola was raging. 

And in spite of opposition to the use of colloidal silver by medical bureaucrats in the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the silver actually appears to working against the virus!

Not only that, but Sierra Leone’s Minister of Presidential and Public Affairs – a trained chemist named Alpha Kanu – has announced that 10 ppm nanosilver has now been proclaimed to be an official approved Ebola treatment in that nation.

This might explain why there’s been so little news coverage on Ebola here in the U.S. over the past few weeks.  The agenda of the medical bureaucrats in WHO, the CDC and the FDA has been to fast-track an expensive new Ebola vaccine into production, for use on people in early 2015.  Big Pharma was to make billions of dollars on the vaccine.

But with as many as 500 Ebola sufferers reportedly now getting better in Sierra Leone, West Africa after trying nanosilver the plans of Big Pharma and the medical bureaucrats might just end up being derailed.

Of course, we still don’t know if the news coming out of West Africa is definitive.  But here’s what we know so far, based on newspaper reports from Sierra Leone…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

It’s been widely reported for several months now that shipments of nanosilver destined for Ebola-stricken West African nations had been either detained or turned back by medical bureaucrats from WHO and the FDA. 

These same agencies, in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control, have also been conducting an unprecedented “scorched earth” campaign in the world news media, vilifying and ridiculing anyone – including yours truly -- who advocated the use of colloidal silver for Ebola in West Africa. 

But during the first week of November, 2014, the Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone, West Africa, announced that some of the colloidal silver finally made it through the roadblocks put up by the international medical bureaucrats.

Colloidal Silver Is Working!

What’s more, according to the news reports, which I’ll detail for you below, the silver is apparently now being used to successfully treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and possibly three other West African nations as well.

According to strictly preliminary reports from the region, not only has the silver treatment been shown to be working (i.e., with as many as 500 Ebola patients getting better), but the government of Sierra Leone was apparently so impressed with the results they actually approved nanosilver as an official Ebola treatment!

According to a news release on PRWeb:

Ebola-torn Sierra Leone announced today that it has approved nutrient Nano Silver 10 PPM as an Ebola therapy based on the positive results seen when it defied strong international pressure, testing nutrient Nano Silver 10 PPM in Ebola patients over the past three weeks.

The upshot of the news report is that nanosilver has been officially approved as a therapy against the deadly Ebola virus by Honourable Alpha Kanu, Sierra Leone’s Minister of Presidential and Public Affairs. 

Apparently, the government of Sierra Leone felt they had to take the dramatic step of officially approving nanosilver as an Ebola treatment in order to circumvent further interference from medical bureaucrats in the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) who were doing everything in their power to block shipments of nanosilver from getting into West African nations, and to publicly discredit its usage.

According to Sierra Leone’s Minister of Information, Alpha Kanu:

"If you say that this illness does not get better, then that's a lie because 500 people have gotten better.....Sheikh Massally sent the nutrient Nano Silver. This works; people are getting better."

Two of Sierra Leone’s leading newspapers, The Exclusive, and The Standard Times Press, confirmed the Minister’s announcement today.  An actual transcript of Information Minister Kanu’s speech regarding the nanosilver breakthrough is reproduced directly below: 

Here’s what the Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone had to say about this story:

“A government official in Sierra Leone says that some people are recovering from Ebola because of a new treatment.  The Minister of Information Alpha Kanu recently wrote in a letter that “this works; people are getting better.”

But efforts to get this information and the treatment option itself to people have met with great opposition on the part of the United States FDA and others.  

The option that has Kanu’s enthusiastic approval is a nutrient that is not manufactured by a big-name pharmaceutical company.  It is called Nano Silver…But it has not been easy to get the product to the countries that need it most…

a shipment of the product was shipped to Sierra Leone on August 20. However, it didn’t arrive until “September 28, five weeks later while the disease spread and people suffered and died unnecessarily because international forces opposed the simple clinical demonstration of the nutrient.

Just before the shipment of nanosilver finally reached Sierra Leone, Minister Kanu reportedly made it clear that his government did not need FDA approval to offer it as a therapy option, according to Star Africa.

The Honorable Alpha Kanu is a trained chemist, who believes that the people who are suffering in his country have the right to use any and all treatment options that are available to them.

It is ‘a matter of choice,’ he believes, resting ‘on the patients or their families, as to whether to administer it as treatment for Ebola.’  The Information Minister reportedly worked with President Ernest Bai Koroma to get the nutrient into Sierra Leone.

So it appears the president of Sierra Leone – Ernest Bai Koroma – was also involved in the tussle with the international medical bureaucrats, and worked to make sure his Ebola-stricken countrymen were able to try the nanosilver product in spite of the intense pressure against it. 

And what kind of results are they experiencing?  Again, according to the initial report from The Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone:   

According to Kanu, a “philanthropic” Sierra Leonean who is based in Atlanta, Georgia, Imam Sheikh Massally has been credited with sending a shipment of the silver product to be tried for Ebola patients. 

‘He sent the nutrient Nano Silver – this works; people are getting better. The supply is enough for 300 people and we are going to bring some more.’”

Since that time, news reports have stated that as many as 500 Ebola victims in Sierra Leone appear to be getting better after having been given the nanosilver. 

The Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone goes on to complain that the FDA’s insistence on maintaining a medical monopoly for Big Pharma makes no sense in the face of such a devastating disease.  They state:

“… According to the FDA’s website, nutritional supplements and other natural products cannot claim to “diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”  

Those products must post a disclaimer declaring such, because according to the American government, “only a drug can legally make such a claim.”

No matter how effective a natural substance may be, there is, in effect, a gag order on any and all companies marketing them, preventing them from saying so… The gag orders regarding non-drug options for Ebola are simply the latest in a long string of actions aimed at maintaining the monopoly.

Questions must be asked.  Why is the FDA so intimidated by the free sharing of information about a substance that could work?  What harm is there in people choosing to take the product, even in conjunction with more traditional therapies?

If there is a serious crisis threatening a large part of the human population, why does it matter who gets the credit?  Would not true leaders be more interested in solving the problem and saving lives than in political agendas or lining the pocketbooks of certain interests?”



Of course, the Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone, West Africa, is asking very legitimate questions:  Why exactly is silver being suppressed?  And who is the beneficiary of that suppression? 

What’s more, according to Dr. Rima Laibow, who was apparently instrumental in helping get the nanosilver to West Africa, there’s even more good news.  She states: 

High level, reliable sources tell us from at least four countries in Africa that Ebola victims appear to be recovering from this deadly infection coincident with them receiving the remarkable nutrient, Nano Silver 10 PPM.

This is very hopeful news…Not one country, but several, are reporting these results. Nano Silver 10 PPM is helping people faced with the health disaster move from illness to health.”

Whether this is true, or not, I have no idea.  But I’ll certainly keep my eyes open for more news like this coming out of that region of the world. 

What I’d Do in the
Event of Ebola Exposure

People have written to ask me, “How much colloidal silver would you have to take in order to protect yourself from an Ebola infection?”

And of course, the answer is, there’s no way to know for sure.  

As I’ve mentioned previously, the clinical research conducted by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) into the use of nanosilver against Ebola and related hemorrhagic fever viruses was strictly in vitro (i.e., laboratory test tube) research. 

 And while it clearly demonstrated that very small particles of antimicrobial silver at surprisingly low concentrations could stop the Ebola virus in infected cells from replicating and spreading, it in no way gives us so much as a clue as to how much colloidal silver a living human being would have to take in order to achieve the same results. 

And of course, the preliminary news reports out of Sierra Leone, West Africa have not mentioned exactly how much nanosilver is being given to Ebola patients, or what method of administration is being used. 

They’re only reporting that nanosilver is indeed being used, and that hundreds of Ebola victims are apparently getting better. 

But if the reports coming out of Sierra Leone prove to be true, and if colloidal silver of very small particle size does indeed continue to prove to be effective, the existing research indicates that preventing Ebola infection would depend upon getting the right dose of very small silver particles into your body, early enough in the infective process to stop viral replication. 

Indeed, it appears that daily prophylactic dosing with colloidal silver before exposure to the Ebola virus would appear to provide better protection than dosing after exposure.

So for me, at present I’m remaining on my usual one-ounce per day adult dosage of 10 ppm micro-particle colloidal silver, in order to keep some colloidal silver circulating in my body at all times. 

This, based on the idea reported in the U.S. Department of Defense-related test tube study demonstrating that Ebola was unable to replicate in cells that were pre-innoculated with silver.   

What’s more, if I suspect I’ve been exposed to an Ebola-infected individual, my plan at present would be to quadruple my normal adult daily oral intake of colloidal silver from one ounce per day to as many as four ounces per day, for a total of up to 21 days, which is said to be the maximum incubation period for Ebola. 

In other words, if I suspect I might have been exposed to the virus, I plan on taking up to four times my normal daily dosage of colloidal silver for as long as three weeks. 

(A person can determine their own normal adult daily dosage of colloidal silver, based on their body weight and the ppm of the colloidal silver product they’re using, by using the simple calculation spelled out in the Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage Report, which is FREE by email at the link in this sentence.)

Now, I have no clinical data whatsoever demonstrating that taking four times one’s normal daily colloidal silver dosage would be the correct dosage to take if one suspected exposure to Ebola. 

No one knows if that would work, because no one has ever had to try it before.  But those are my personal plans, for myself, in the event of suspected Ebola exposure.

Nebulizing Colloidal Silver

Additionally, and again, speaking only for myself, if I were to suspect I’d been exposed to an Ebola-infected individual, I’d also immediately begin using colloidal silver through a medical nebulizer for several days. 

Nebulizers are used to atomize liquid medications and other substances, so that they can be inhaled into the lungs.  Substances inhaled into the lungs in an atomized state are very rapidly sent straight into the blood stream, cells and tissues of the body. 

Medical nebulizers can usually be found on eBay.com. 

And the pros and cons of nebulizing colloidal silver are discussed thoroughly in my in-depth article, Using Colloidal Silver With a Nebulizer, which also has an accompanying video demonstration of nebilizing colloidal silver. 

My thought at present, strictly for myself, would be to nebulize some 10 ppm colloidal silver into my lungs for five or six minutes, as many as four times per day, upon suspected initial exposure to an Ebola-infected individual. 

I might do that for three or four days in a row, in addition to taking the larger-than-usual oral daily doses of colloidal silver discussed above. 

Then, after three or four days, I’d likely stop using nebulized colloidal silver altogether, and continue for the remainder of the maximum 21 day incubation period with my larger-than-usual oral daily doses only. 

During this time I’d also drink plenty of fresh, pure water daily, in order to flush any excess silver from my body in order to help prevent permanent accumulation in the tissues. 

I’ll probably also take specific antioxidant nutrients known to help the body effectively process, utilize and eliminate silver, such as vitamin E (i.e., 400 IU daily of mixed tocepherols and tocotrienals, Life Extension brand), selenium (i.e., 100 mcg. to 200 mcg., probably three times per week) and N-acetyl-cysteine (400-500 mg. probably three times per week). 

These nutrients are recommended by experts such as Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., and are said to be taken to help the body process higher levels of silver more effectively and efficiently, and to help minimize the possibility of toxicity issues. 

As Dr. Wright has stated in the past:

"Silver belongs to the family of metals that also includes copper and gold (both of which can also have numerous health benefits when they're used properly). One of the primary concerns people tend to have about using these metals is the risk that they'll accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal toxicity. But if you have plenty of antioxidants in your diet, such as selenium, vitamin E, and amino acids like N-acetyl cysteine, you're safe from any harmful effects from this family of metals. Germs, however, are not."

-- Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD

Pros and Cons

There are pros and cons to colloidal silver usage, and there are no guarantees of efficacy or of complete and absolute safety. 

Everyone’s biologically different (i.e., “biological individuality”) and so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. 

So the use of colloidal silver for serious situations like Ebola has to be weighed carefully against other factors, including risk-reward questions such as “Are the remote but possible risks of side effects from taking larger-than-usual amounts of colloidal silver over a three week time period worth the potential protective benefits?” 

On risk-reward questions like that, each person has to do their own research and make up their own minds, preferably in conjunction with a good, experienced natural health doctor.

Finally, I also very strongly recommend that anyone who’s considering using colloidal silver supplementation for a serious situation such as a suspected Ebola infection always keep their primary care doctor or a good, local naturopath fully in the loop. 

A good doctor can help establish a health baseline at the outset of any intensive nutrient supplementation plan, and help a person decide whether or not other treatment options should be considered.

Along the way, a good doctor can also help you determine whether or not the supplementation plan is actually working as desired, for the specific purpose intended, and whether or not adjustments need to be made. 

Extraordinary Measures

Keep in mind that my personal plans for Ebola, as spelled out above, would constitute extraordinary measures.  And there’s no definitive clinical evidence it would even work. 

But considering the much-touted 90% death rate for Ebola, I’d certainly take the chance, personally, particularly considering the good news about colloidal silver coming out of Ebola-stricken West Africa. 

Also, please keep in mind that those are purely layman’s speculations on my part in terms of what might work.  I'm not a doctor.  I’m a natural health journalist.  And I’m just reporting.  I'm not "prescribing" for anyone else. 

A journalist should not be your “go to” guy in terms of deciding how to deal with a potentially serious health situation such as Ebola

The best thing anyone can do in the case of a suspected exposure to Ebola is to check with their own experienced natural health care doctor or primary care doctor who knows their health profile intimately, and ask for their advice and guidance. 

The Bottom Line and Personal Preparation

The bottom line is this:  This is still America, and you and I still have a right to make the most informed decision possible on vital, potentially life-and-death health matters like this regardless of what the health and medical authorities would prefer. 

I’m certainly not taking an “Ebola vaccine” they’ve admittedly rushed into production with adequate testing.

While the surprising turn of events coming out of West Africa is quite interesting, there’s still a lot that needs to be revealed in terms of accurate dosages of colloidal silver for maximum effectiveness against Ebola.  So I’ll continue to report on this vital news story as more information becomes available.    

Until then, personal preparation would appear to be the most important key. 

So if you’re new to colloidal silver usage, a good first step would be learning how to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.   

After all, the colloidal silver being sold in health food stores is exorbitantly expensive, costing as much as $20 to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle, which wouldn’t last but a couple of days at most for a single adult, during a prolonged health crisis. 

But being able to make a full quart at a time of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver – quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for less than 36 cents a quart -- gives you the peace of mind of knowing you’ll have plenty of colloidal silver available whenever needed.  (Learn more below.)

Indeed, when you make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for just pennies per batch, you can even afford to give it away free to family members, friends, co-workers or others who might be in need.
