The news media is rife
with reports of a “winter vomiting virus,” also being referred to as the “winter
vomiting disease.”
Apparently, the victims
of this virus end up sick with projectile vomiting and sometimes explosive diarrhea
as well.
The disease is apparently
being spread to humans by a stomach virus called the norovirus, or “stomach flu
virus,” which is described by health authorities as “a highly contagious virus
that causes gastroenteritis, an illness that usually involves vomiting and
diarrhea.”
Yecchh, right?
But the real question
is this: Will colloidal silver help kill
this nasty virus? Here’s what we know so
far…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
Probably my least
favorite thing in the whole world – besides eating cooked liver, drinking a big
swig of spoiled milk or getting bitten by an angry dog – is vomiting.
The idea of sitting there clutching the porcelain throne, writhing
from uncontrollable nausea, while retching for hours on end is enough to scare
me away from visiting anybody who
says they’ve been sick and throwing up all day.
Okay, except for my wife, or my mom. Them I’d visit. And console.
But I’d immediately ply them with colloidal silver if they could keep
enough of it down to make a difference.
And for darned sure I’d drink four or five ounces of the
stuff, just in case the nasty virus decided to wander over my way during the
visit.
The Bad News
Unfortunately, this year the news is reporting dozens of outbreaks of norovisus – the so-called
“winter vomiting virus” – particularly in California.
And to make the matter even more ominous, I’ve been getting
reports from readers across the U.S. of entire families suffering from projectile
vomiting and diarrhea.
So it’s quite possible this is going to be one of those
winters in which strange viruses like the norovirus come out to play.
According to an Associated Press news article:
“Norovirus is highly contagious and usually triggers vomiting and
diarrhea. It spreads through contact with an infected person, eating food or
drinking liquids that contain the virus or touching contaminated surfaces or
objects and then touching your mouth.”
Oh, joy. Now I get to
be paranoid everywhere I go this winter.
(Did I mention I really hate
vomiting?)
And there’s more. According
to an article
on Breitbart.com:
“Spread
of the virus occurs rapidly with crowded environments most vulnerable. Examples
to watch out for included, “hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centers, schools,
cruise ships and food service settings like restaurants.”
Uh, huh. Great. So much for that post-Christmas trip to the mall I wanted to take. And I think I’ll wait until this coming spring before taking my wife out for dinner to a crowded restaurant. That won’t make her very happy. But, then, neither would projectile vomiting.
As the SurvivalLife.com website states:
“The
Norovirus commonly known as the ‘stomach flu’ is one of the most
infectious viruses around.
It
takes fewer than 20 virus particles to infect someone, so each droplet of vomit
has enough virus to infect over 100,000 people.
In
the United States, norovirus causes 21 million illnesses annually, requiring
70,000 hospitalizations, of which 800 result in death.”
That about clinches it for me. I’m never going out in public again.
One thing for sure:
If I do venture out into
public I’ll either first be coating my hands with a good colloidal silver gel (see
my previous article Germ-Busing
Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams), or…
…I’ll be taking my small spray bottle of liquid colloidal
silver with me everywhere I go, and spraying just about everything before
laying my hands on it, including silverware at restaurants, shopping cart
handles in stores, door handles and other touch surfaces.
Finally, the Breitbart article explains, “Those that have been sick can still spread
the virus two weeks after recovering.”
Good Lord. It looks
like it’s going to be a long
winter.
But Here’s the Good News
I’ve actually written about norovirus and colloidal silver once before.
It turns out that about five years ago, British scientists
working in tandem with two international drug-makers, Janssen and Johnson &
Johnson, have already tested the idea of using tiny silver particles against the
norovirus.
Now, to be fair, what the researchers did was attach silver
particles to a harmless digestive bacteria.
Then they introduced the silver-impregnated bacteria into a population
of norovirus. And the silver quite
handily destroyed the ability of the
norovirus to cause infection.
At the time, TheTelegraph,
one of Britain’s most renowned news sources, wrote:
“Scientists have discovered that they can attach tiny studs of silver
onto the surface of otherwise harmless bacteria, giving them the ability to
destroy viruses.
They
have tested the silver-impregnated bacteria against norovirus, which causes
winter vomiting outbreaks, and found that they leave the virus unable to cause
infections.
The
researchers now believe the same technique could help to combat other viruses,
including influenza and those responsible for causing the common cold.”
Sweet!
What’s more, according to Professor Willy Verstraete, a
microbiologist from the University of Ghent, Belgium, who also worked on the
project for the British drug makers:
"We are using silver nanoparticles, which are
extremely small but give a large amount of surface area as they can clump
around the virus, increasing the inhibiting effect.”
So it’s a proven fact that silver particles stop norovirus
cold.
But why impregnate the tiny silver particles onto harmless bacteria,
first? Why not just use a simple,
all-natural colloidal silver product containing tiny silver particles?
According to Professor Verstraete, "There are
concerns about using such small particles of silver in the human body and what
harm it might cause to human health, so we have attached the silver
nanoparticles to the surface of a bacterium. It means the silver particles
remain small, but they are not free to roam around the body."
The Real Reason
If you think that sounds suspiciously like a phony excuse,
you’re probably right.
As one of my old mentors used to emphasize, there’s the stated reason, and then there’s the real reason. And you always need to look for the real reason.
In case you haven’t guessed it, the real reason the researchers went through so much trouble to concoct
a silver-studded bacteria in their fight against the norovirus was because they
wanted to create a “novel drug” that could be sold by the drug companies
sponsoring their research.
You see, silver is a natural element. It can’t be patented and monopolized by the
drug companies, unless they come up
with a new process, or a new form. And
that’s exactly what they were working on.
As the article in The
Telegraph stated, the researchers were “…now working with drug giants
Janssen, and Johnson & Johnson, to further develop the technology…”
As I mentioned in my previous article on this topic:
“Look…millions of people worldwide have been ingesting tiny silver nanoparticles
in moderation for decades now, without undue harm or risk.
So
the whole idea that silver nanoparticles need to be attached to something like dead intestinal bacterium so
they can't "roam aimlessly through your body"…is nothing less than a
spurious bugaboo…
As
usual when dealing with the big drug companies and their researchers, rank
deception and hypocrisy are the order of the day.”
Yes, you could just as easily -- and effectively -- drink some
safe, natural colloidal silver and wipe out an intestinal infection caused by
the norovirus. But researchers for the big drug companies simply aren’t going
to tell you that.
And why? Because
there’s no money in it for them. That’s why.
Interestingly, in another study titled “Biogenic Silver for Disinfection of Water
Contaminated with Viruses” -- this one using tiny silver particles to disinfect
drinking water that’s been contaminated with viruses -- it was once again
demonstrated that silver kills the dread norovirus. The researchers wrote:
“…the
transmission of waterborne human noroviruses is considered to be the major
cause of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis.
Numerous
outbreaks of norovirus-associated gastroenteritis have been linked with
ingestion of contaminated drinking water, in developed countries also.
Therefore,
the development of innovative drinking water quality control strategies is of
the utmost importance in this decade.
The objective of the present study was to examine the inactivation of a bacteriophage and a norovirus isolated from hospital sewage, by biogenic silver…
The objective of the present study was to examine the inactivation of a bacteriophage and a norovirus isolated from hospital sewage, by biogenic silver…
…After
30 min of contact time, the murine norovirus could not be detected anymore
(< LOD), entailing a decrease of at least 4.7 log (>99.99%).”
So 99.99% of the norovirus used in the experiment were
destroyed by the tiny silver particles.
A Korean study found
similar results:
“We evaluated the antiviral efficacy of silver nanoparticles using a bacteriophage
and a murine norovirus (MNV) under different environmental conditions
This study demonstrated that silver
nanoparticles are effective for inactivating bacteriophages and murine
norovirus, a surrogate for human norovirus, in water.”

The bottom line is that colloidal silver can be astonishingly
effective against norovirus.
As one norovirus victim wrote on the Mercola.com website: “I drank a half cup of colloidal silver and
was better within hours. Nipped in the bud it was.”
And according to the TotalWellnessCenter.com website, in an
article about killing off the norovirus naturally:
“Colloidal silver 10ppm is a natural antiviral
that looks & tastes like water. It will immediately begin killing off the
virus in the stomach and digestive tract upon ingestion.
Adults take 1 teaspoon directly or added to a
beverage every 2-3 hours until symptoms are completely gone. Small children ½ dose.”
