It appears even Time
magazine is finally catching up with the times (pun intended), having named the
powerful infection-fighting qualities of antimicrobial silver as one of the
“100 New Scientific Discoveries” of 2014.
But are silver’s
germ-fighting qualities really a “new” discovery? Not hardly.
As any experienced
colloidal silver user can attest, when used responsibly silver is one of the
world’s safest and most powerful natural infection-fighting agents. And the fact that it kills even antibiotic
drug-resistant microbes has been known since the late 1970’s.
Nevertheless, here’s
what Time magazine had to say about some of the latest scientific research into
antimicrobial silver and its profound germ-busting benefits…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
Last year, when I wrote the article
“Infection-Fighting Silver Gains New Respect from News Media,” I quoted nearly
a dozen famous news media sources which had published positive articles on the
germ-fighting benefits of silver.
In the course of my research for that article, I somehow
missed the fact that Time magazine
had also covered antimicrobial silver last year, in its annual special issue “100
New Scientific Discoveries 2014.”
Time reported on
new research from Boston University demonstrating antimicrobial silver to
increase the effectiveness of existing antibiotic drugs by anywhere from 10 to
1,000 times. (See my previous article on
the Boston University research into silver’s often astonishing infection-fighting
qualities, here.)
The idea behind the new research is that silver could simply
be added to modern antibiotic drugs in order to make them more effective
against drug-resistant microbes such as the deadly MRSA pathogen as well as Clostridium difficile and others.
Why Time is Behind the Times
Of course, Time
magazine is just a little bit behind
the times.
After all, Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. had documented the astonishing
effectiveness of silver against antibiotic-resistant bacteria back in…drum
roll, please…1978. This was during the course of his well-known research
at Syracuse Medical University.
As Dr. Becker would later write regarding his research in
his New York Times best-selling book,
The Body Electric:
“What we have done was
rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, a fact which had actually been
known for centuries ...
…All of the organisms we tested
were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some
that were resistant to all known antibiotics...In no case were any undesirable
side effects of the silver treatment apparent.”
So for Time
magazine to name antimicrobial silver and its ability to kill drug-resistant
pathogens as one of the “100 New Scientific Discoveries” of 2014 shows a
decided lack of understanding of the long history of silver in medicine.
Nevertheless, we have to give Time credit where credit is due, and give them a great big vote of
thanks for covering the most recent developments demonstrating silver to be so
effective against drug-resistant superbugs that drug-makers now want to add it
to their antibiotic drugs in order to increase their effectiveness.
Here’s what Time
magazine wrote:
“When it comes to simple
solutions to complex problems, we are repeatedly told “there is no silver
bullet.” But it turns out there just might be.
New research from Boston
University suggests that adding silver to existing antibiotics can make the
antibiotics 10 to 1,000 times as effective by interfering with a pathogen’s
metabolism and making its cell membrane more permeable to drugs that can kill
it.
Silver has been used as an
antimicrobial since antiquity (Hippocrates prescribed its use in 400 B.C.) and
there has been recent research to determine the effectiveness of silver
compounds in treating cuts, burns and wounds…
…The rise of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as deadly MRSA and Clostridium difficile,
is a growing public health crisis, particularly in hospitals where
drug-resistant infections kill tens of thousands each year.
Now, researchers hope that
silver can be used as a coating on existing antibiotics as well as incorporated
into medical implants to help prevent or eradicate infections that often occur
during such medical procedures…”

Thankfully, today, high-quality colloidal silver – the
world’s safest and most powerful natural germ-fighter -- is available in just
about every well-stocked health food store in the United States.
And you can also make it yourself, for just pennies, quickly and easily. I’ll tell you how people are doing it, in
just a moment.
But first, if you’d like to learn more about colloidal silver’s
astonishing effectiveness against drug-resistant pathogens, here are a few
resources you might want to check out:
How to Make Your Own
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
A Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge allows you
to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a
quart.
Compare
that to major health food store brands which usually cost between $20 and $30
for a tiny, four-ounce bottle, and
you’ll see that the savings are astonishing.
In
fact, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very
first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the
entire cost the generator.
Do you
know of any other health product that
literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?
Obviously,
having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal
silver for only pennies per quart is
about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver
for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one
needs it.
And
because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal
silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of a single nanometer – their effectiveness
against colonies of pathogenic microbes is astonishing.
Because
of their extremely small size, the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles are up
to 1,000 times more bioavailable than
conventional silver particles. This
means the human body is able to absorb 99-100% of the silver, send it
throughout the body to kill pathogens, and then excrete it with ease,
afterwards.
Plus,
it’s now known that these tiny silver micro-particles are able to kill off
entire colonies of pathogens with far greater effectiveness than conventional
colloidal silver particles, because of the “zombie effect” described in this recent article about brand new research out of
Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Perhaps
that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the
effectiveness of their homemade micro-particle colloidal silver, as you can see
at this web page full of real-life colloidal
silver success stories.
