MSNBC and the Colloidal Silver “Blue Man”

Recently, MSNBC conducted a very interesting follow-up broadcast with Paul Karason, the so-called “Colloidal Silver Blue Man.”

Paul is the man whose skin turned blue after he ingested incredibly excessive amounts of colloidal silver daily, for over a decade.

Once again, Matt Lauer, the MSNBC TV host of The Today Show, interviewed Karason. And overall, he treated Karason with respect and dignity.

More importantly, Lauer got the story right.

He carefully noted that Karason’s doctors had given him a clean bill of health, and accurately stated that none of the rigorous medical tests Mr. Karason had undertaken could find any harm to his internal organs or nervous system from the excessive levels of colloidal silver he’d been ingesting daily for over a decade.

Mike Celizic Blows It

Unfortunately, afterward, MSNBC news journalist Mike Celizic really blew it when he published a news article based upon Matt Lauer’s interview with the colloidal silver “blue man.”

If his article is any indication of his journalistic prowess, Mike may have to go back to journalism class and take a refresher course in fact-checking, and also in errors of omission, before continuing to write for MSNBC News.

Here’s a brief excerpt from Celizic’s article:

"Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver in a liquid base — in this case, distilled water. Silver has antibacterial properties and has been used to fight infection for thousands of years. But it went out of use when penicillin, which is far more effective, was developed.

It continued to be used in some over-the-counter medicines until 1999, when the FDA banned it because it causes argyria, which is a result of the silver reacting with light the same way it does in photography. The silver collects in the skin and other organs and does not dissipate. Karason is blue for life."

What’s wrong with the above statements?

First of all, penicillin is not “far more effective” than colloidal silver. It may have been at one time. But the truth is -- and Celizic should know this -- pathogens have been mutating so rapidly that penicillin today is a mere shell of itself in terms of its effectiveness against the very pathogens it had previously been used to treat.

In fact, some pathogens have developed such a profound immunity to penicillin they can actually feed on it with no adverse effects. This is precisely why the big drug companies have had to come out with increasingly stronger alternatives to penicillin.

What’s more, a 2006 clinical study from BYU (published in Current Science, Vol. 91, No. 7, 10 October 2006) documented the fact that adding colloidal silver to an antibiotic drug such as penicillin actually increases the efficacy of the antibiotic by a factor of as much as tenfold when used against antibiotic-resistant microbes.

In other words, the study demonstrated that standard antibiotics – including penicillin -- tend to work significantly better against antibiotic-resistant microbes when colloidal silver is added!

That should tell you that the antibiotics simply aren’t as effective against today’s new mutated breeds of pathogens, but colloidal silver is still just as effective as ever.

In fact, since way back in the late 1800’s when medical researchers first learned how to run currents of electricity through pure silver wire suspended in water and created the first crude colloidal silver solution, colloidal silver has never lost its powerful infection-fighting qualities against the myriad of pathogens it’s been used to treat.

Even though pathogens are constantly mutating against common antibiotic drugs like penicillin and becoming immune to them, there has been no significant pathogenic immunity developed against silver. Colloidal silver still kills pathogens just as quickly and effectively as it always has.

No FDA “Ban” on Colloidal Silver (At Least, Not Yet)!

Another serious journalistic infraction committed by Mike Celizic in his MSNBC news article was his claim that the FDA had “banned” colloidal silver in “over-the-counter medicines” back in 1999.

Of course, the FDA never “banned” colloidal silver in 1999, or at any other time. No such thing ever happened, folks. And again, MSNBC news writer Mike Celizic should know this, or at least do his homework on claims before printing them.

In reality, the FDA merely wrote and published a position paper in 1999 stating that colloidal silver could not be sold by manufacturers or other vendors with accompanying printed health claims, such as “cures colds and flu” or "natural antibiotic" or "kills germs, fungi and viruses."

In other words, the FDA banned label and advertising claims for the powerful, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral qualities of colloidal silver, but not the actual sales of the product.

In fact, to this very day, colloidal silver is still sold in every well-stocked health food store in America, throughout Canada, as well as throughout eastern and western Europe, Mexico and South America. Its sale or use has never been “banned.”

But Mike Celizic’s erroneous claim is now being quoted around the internet by people using it as evidence that the FDA has “banned colloidal silver” when nothing of the sort has happened. In my view, that’s a far cry from the concept of responsible journalism.

Why Did FDA Ban Label and Advertising Claims for Colloidal Silver?

So why did the FDA outlaw label and advertising claims for colloidal silver’s powerful antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral qualities back in 1999?

The FDA says it was to prevent the public from being misled into thinking that colloidal silver is an approved over-the-counter drug, rather than a mere nutritional supplement.

But critics say it was because millions of people were turning to relatively inexpensive colloidal silver in place of expensive and potentially dangerous antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral drugs.

In other words, many people believe the FDA banned health claims about colloidal silver, in order to protect drug company profits! (You can read more about it, here.)

10 Million Colloidal Silver Users Can’t Be Wrong

Today, colloidal silver usage is surging. There are an estimated 10 million regular colloidal silver users throughout North America alone, according to published sources. And millions more people who use colloidal silver only periodically, when they’re feeling a bit under the weather, so to speak.

Indeed, the FDA’s 1999 ban on label and advertising claims for colloidal silver actually drew more public attention to the substance than any other single factor in its 100 year history. This helped make colloidal silver one of the most popular nutritional supplements in America virtually overnight.

Even big business has been busy incorporating silver into products because of its powerful antimicrobial benefits. You can read more about it in the article "Big Business Moves Into Silver-Based Antimicrobials in a BIG Way" at this link.

Celizic Got At Least One Thing Right

At least MSNBC news journalist Mike Celizic got one thing right when he wrote that Mr. Karason passed his medical examinations "with flying colors, and was given a clean bill of health."

This clearly demonstrates that the excessive amounts of colloidal silver Paul Karason took daily for over a decade caused him no apparent physical or medical harm, except for the blue-tinted skin.

You may remember all of the predictions of nervous system damage and organ failure made by doctors back in February of 2008, when Paul Karason’s story first came to public attention. Not one of those predictions has come to pass. The only consequence Mr. Karason has suffered from his decade long bout with excessive colloidal silver usage has been the blue skin.

Irresponsible v/s Responsible Usage

Of course, we’re not advocating or making excuses for excessive use of colloidal silver. On the contrary, while some overly enthusiastic colloidal silver advocates have claimed colloidal silver is “harmless at any level,” we have always been advocates of the safe, responsible usage of colloidal silver.

We believe it’s important for natural health advocates to remember that taking any substance in excess, for long periods of time, is generally going to result in some kind of health problem.

If, for example, you drink excessive amounts of carrot juice daily, for long periods of time, your skin will actually turn orange.

But that shouldn't stop you from drinking carrot juice from time to time if you like it. In responsible amounts, carrot juice is extremely healthy for your eyes and skin, your immune system, and for healthy organ function as well.

If you drink water in excess, for long periods of time, you can end up with water intoxication leading to a condition known as hyponatremia. That’s a sodium imbalance that can trigger a massive heart attack.

But of course, responsible daily intake of water is essential to good health and well-being.

Similarly, if you take too many aspirin daily, for long periods of time, you'll end up with bleeding ulcers. You could even end up bleeding to death internally.

But responsible usage of aspirin can relieve pain, protect against blood clots, and even save you from a heart attack.

I could go on and on naming the serious detriments that can be caused by the irresponsible usage of common, everyday beverages, foods, medicines and, yes, even nutritional supplements, all of which are extremely good for you in moderate, responsible dosages. But I think you get the point.

Colloidal Silver Is No Different

Colloidal silver is no different. Used responsibly, it boosts immunity and heals bacterial, fungal and viral infections of all sorts. It even kills the deadly antibiotic-resistant MRSA pathogen (see the medical studies at http://www.colloidalsilvercuresmrsa.com/).

However, used irresponsibly, in excessive dosages for long periods of time, it can turn your skin greyish-blue.

That’s because when colloidal silver is used in excess, your liver and kidneys are unable to flush out all of the silver particles you’ve ingested. And your body ends up pushing the excess mineral silver out toward your skin. There, it can turn grayish blue upon exposure to ultraviolet light (i.e., sunlight).

In other words, sunlight tarnishes the silver that ends up in the skin of people who have used excessive amounts for overly long periods of time. And that is what causes the skin discoloration.

The condition is caused argyria. As we’ve seen from the story of the colloidal silver “blue man,” it is generally a harmless condition, albeit cosmetically unappealing.

Paul Karason, for example, has admitted in previous interviews that he was brewing up extremely concentrated batches of colloidal silver (perhaps as concentrated as 50 to 100 ppm) and drinking between 10 and 20 oz of this highly concentrated solution per day. And he apparently did so for years on end.

That’s a perfect example of the irresponsible (albeit, in his case, unwitting) over-usage of colloidal silver, particularly considering the fact that most experienced users ingest only a teaspoonful to a couple of ounces a day, depending upon whether they are just taking it for general health and immunity purposes, or are battling an active infection.

“The Dose is the Poison”

As Paracelsus, a physician living over 400 years ago who is often referred to as the "Grandfather of Pharmacology,” wisely observed, “The dose is the poison.”

This means that just about anything can be harmful to you, if you take a high enough dosage for a long enough period of time.

FREE “Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage” Report

The key to responsible colloidal silver usage, obviously, is the dosage.

That's why I recommend that people who want to use colloidal silver for its powerful antimicrobial, anti-infection and immune boosting properties download a free copy of the "Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage Report" at http://www.thesilveredge.com/.

This FREE report will help you determine the proper dosage of colloidal silver for your body, based upon your own body weight.

What’s great about the report is that the calculations are based upon official EPA figures for maximum safe daily silver intake over an entire lifetime. So thanks to the EPA, you can actually calculate very closely how much colloidal silver you’ll be able to drink each day for the rest of your life, without risking argyria!

Colloidal Silver’s Astonishing Benefits

By the way, brand new medical research indicates that responsible colloidal silver usage may even help prevent blood from clotting, which could prove to be a boon for heart patients.

You may not realize it, but colloidal silver is also used for its antimicrobial qualities by NASA astronauts in the space shuttle, as well as in swimming pools and spas around the world.

The famous natural health author and best-selling author Dr. James Balch, M.D., recommends responsible doses of colloidal silver for over 25 different health conditions in his long-time bestselling book, Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing.

And numerous well-known doctors and health experts – including renowned virologist Dr. Gordon Pedersen -- are now recommending responsible usage of colloidal silver for Swine Flu and other viral pandemics.

Learn More About the Responsible Use of Colloidal Silver

If you'd like to learn more about the responsible use of colloidal silver to boost immunity, heal infections and even prevent and cure illness and disease, you might want to consider obtaining an inexpensive copy of the brand new, full-color, 60-minute Colloidal Silver Secrets Video from Life & Health Research Group.

The video is chock full of hands-on demonstrations showing you exactly how to use colloidal silver for a myriad of beneficial purposes, such as to heal eye infections, ear infections, sinus infections, sore throat, toenail fungal infections, infected cuts, scrapes and burns, and even intestinal infections, upper respiratory infections, and much more!

It’s the perfect guide for beginning colloidal silver users and for those who simply want to know more about colloidal silver and its many healing and even life-changing benefits.

And for those who may want usage information on colloidal silver that is absolutely encyclopedic in scope, be sure to check out the newly updated, 547-page Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, the world’s #1 best-selling guidebook to responsible colloidal silver usage.

This phenomenal book is the result of over 13 years worth of journalistic research into colloidal silver and its usage, and over 2,000 interviews with experienced colloidal silver users including medical doctors, naturopaths, nurses, dentists, clinical researchers, and even missionaries who use it to treat natives in foreign lands where antibiotics are scarce.

You’ll find 40 in-depth chapters, including three full chapters on specific dosages for specific diseases!

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that you can’t trust everything you read or hear about colloidal silver in the mainstream news media. Some of it is true. And a lot of it is blatantly false.

Journalists often regurgitate information they receive from other sources, without checking the facts. And sometimes they also end up omitting important information that would otherwise throw an entirely different light on the subject matter.

So you have to be careful, and study for yourself important issues that could impact your health and well-being. Don’t let the mainstream news media be your sole source of information. After all, it’s your life and health that’s at stake.

Colloidal Silver: Healing Ear Infections the Safe, Easy Way

Colloidal Silver: Healing Ear Infections the Safe, Easy Way

by Angela M. Kaelin

Almost everyone has suffered from an ear infection at one time or another. It is such a common childhood disorder that most children experience an ear infection before the age of four. Some adults are chronic sufferers.

Untreated, or improperly treated, these infections can lead to hearing loss.

Conventional treatments typically involve multiple doctor visits, the use of problematic antibiotics, potentially liver-damaging painkillers, and in more severe cases, surgeries, involving dangerous anesthesia and the actual puncturing of the eardrum.

Knowing the dangers of over-prescribing allopathic antibiotics, some of the more conservative doctors will take a “wait and see” approach to an ear infection, hoping that it will go away on its own. This approach can allow the condition to worsen before they resort to their risky drug and surgery treatments.

Fortunately, there is a drug-free, non-surgical approach to ear infections. It is safer, far less expensive and it works very fast to put an end to pain and infections in the ears. A few drops of a safe yet powerful mineral supplement known as colloidal silver can stop the trouble of ear infection over night!

How Ear Infections Start

Ear infections have a number of different causes. Popular swimming holes and public pools can be the source of fungi or bacteria-contaminated water that enters the ear and irritates the canal. Commonly known as “swimmer's ear,” this condition is medically known as otitis externis. It can also be caused by eczema in the ears, or by too vigorously cleaning or scratching the opening of the ear. It is generally characterized by moderate pain, particularly during chewing and swallowing, or if the infected ear is tugged upon.

Ear infections are most prevalent in winter and in spring because bacteria from respiratory infections, allergies and colds can reach the ears. Most of the time, it is the small conduit in the ear called the Eustachian tube that becomes blocked or infected. This tube reaches from the nasal cavity to the middle ear. It is so small that even cigarette smoke or air pollution can irritate it and cause it to swell, causing nausea and vertigo. Infections of the Eustachian tube and the middle ear are called otitis media.

Middle ear infections are so common in small children because the Eustachian tubes are very tiny and they have not hardened yet. So, they are easily irritated and penetrated by pathogens. Children in preschools where they are exposed to respiratory bacteria and viruses are particularly vulnerable.

Conventional Treatments Can Be Extreme

Before allopathic doctors treat the actual ear infection, they will likely treat the pain with a painkiller or anti-inflammatory. Typically, doctors prescribe the painkillers acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Acetaminophen, commonly known as Tylenol, can be toxic to the liver and has been linked to other health problems. Ibuprofen, commonly known as Motrin and Advil, can irritate the esophagus and stomach.

The doctor will usually prescribe antibiotics to target particular pathogens. Sometimes they don't prescribe the right one, or the bacteria mutate and become resistant, and additional antibiotics must be prescribed.

In the case of chronic ear infection where the fluid builds up behind the eardrum and presents a danger of bursting it, the doctor may prescribe on-going treatment with antibiotics. When these treatments fail, they may recommend surgery to remove adenoids and insert a tympanosty tube for drainage. To insert this tube, they actually puncture the eardrum. This tube may fall out on its own accord after a few months, or further surgery may be required to remove it. This procedure results in complications in about half of the cases. Complications include hearing loss.

Frequent visits to the doctor to check on progress will be required. If they do resort to surgery they will give you or your child a general anesthesia. Common side effects are nausea, muscle aches and dizziness. In rare cases, there are more serious complications and even death. But, even minor complications or rare ones are too much when the whole thing is entirely unnecessary!

Colloidal Silver Keeps It Simple

Colloidal silver is perhaps the world’s simplest and most effective cure for ear infections. That’s because it is all-natural, comes in liquid form which can easily be dropped into the ear using a standard eyedropper, and is easily available over-the-counter at health food stores or through internet sources. What’s more, unlike conventional prescription antibiotic drugs which are designed to work against specific classes of bacteria, and won’t work at all against fungal pathogens or viruses, colloidal silver has very broad spectrum antibiotic, antiviral and anti-fungal qualities. Indeed, it almost always works regardless of what’s causing your infection.

And unlike conventional antibiotic drugs, colloidal silver can’t contribute to the problem of mutating pathogens, because it doesn't work the same way conventional antibiotic drugs do. Instead of essentially poisoning the pathogens like antibiotic drugs do, the tiny, sub-microscopic particles of pure mineral silver in colloidal silver simply adhere to the cell walls of harmful microorganisms, inhibiting enzyme production and, in effect, smothering them. If the silver particles are small enough, they can even adhere to the DNA of viruses, and disrupt the ability of the viruses to replicate, altogether preventing the spread of viral infections.

Both bacteria and viruses can be present in cases of ear infection. And oft-times a fungus can be involved, as is commonly the case with swimmer's ear. Clearly, conventional antibiotic drugs are inadequate treatments for such infections since they are completely ineffective against fungal and viral pathogens, and in many cases barely effective against bacteria. But colloidal silver known to be effective against all of these pathogens.

How to Use Colloidal Silver to Treat Ear Infection*

According to the experienced colloidal silver users we’ve interviewed, less is more when it comes to treating ear infections with colloidal silver.

You see, even though the pain of an ear infection can be excruciating, the area affected is actually very small. The part of the ear most commonly affected, the Eustachian tube, is tiny. People unfamiliar with colloidal silver usage might be tempted to administer copious amounts of the substance into the ear in an attempt to end suffering faster. But, three drops in the affected ear, once or twice per day at most, should be sufficient. Any more is not only a waste, but it can be counterproductive to effective treatment.

That’s because silver is such a powerful anti-microbial substance, using too much of it can leave tiny silver particles deep inside the ear canal, and on the ear drum itself, which can inhibit the growth of healthy bacteria, causing a temporary imbalance that in some cases leads to sensations of vertigo. This usually disappears within 24 to 48 hours after you discontinue colloidal silver usage. But it can be avoided altogether simply by limiting the use of colloidal silver in the ears to just a few drops, once or twice a day during the course of the ear infection.

To safely administer colloidal silver, it is best to lie down on your side with the affected ear pointing upward.

Using a standard eye dropper, place no more than three drops of colloidal silver at the opening of the ear canal, and allow it to drain down into the ear. If necessary, gently tug and release the ear lobe several times, in order to help the drops seep more quickly down into the ear canal.

(If you are administering the drops into a child's ear, you might have the child lie with his or her head in your lap. Use no more than two drops of colloidal silver with small children.)

Remain in this position for six or seven minutes, allowing the colloidal silver plenty of time to seep down into the ear and begin killing the microbes. Then simply turn your head so that the affected ear is pointed downward, and allow the colloidal silver to drain out, using a clean piece of tissue paper to wipe it from the ear.

Colloidal silver works fast, but if you are still having symptoms of an ear infection several hours after the first application, wait a half a day and insert another two or three drops into the affected ear. In many cases, an ear infection clears overnight after the first application. But sometimes it takes two or three applications before results are noticed.

Also, taking an oral dose of colloidal silver – for most people, two or three teaspoons full twice a day during the course of the earache – can be extremely beneficial.

Obviously, if an ear infection does not clear up within a day or two at the very most, be sure to consult with your doctor again. There are very few pathogens colloidal silver is not effective against. But if colloidal silver doesn’t work, it is best to act quickly to get your ear infection treated professionally.

Even chronic ear infection sufferers -- people who have been told that there is something congenitally defective with their eustachian tubes or ear canals -- have found permanent relief from chronic infections with regular oral maintenance doses of colloidal silver (i.e., two or three tsp. per day) and just two or three drops of colloidal silver in the ear daily.

Experienced colloidal silver users tell us that in these rare, extremely stubborn cases, this is a procedure the afflicted individual must adhere to every day, or else the infection returns. But, using colloidal silver helps keep people with these rare chronic infections off the constant cycle of antibiotic drugs, which can contribute to mutated pathogens and potentially serious side effects. (Colloidal silver should only be used continually in the ear under the supervision of a licensed, experienced and trusted health care provider.)

Colloidal Silver is Common Sense

It's easy to see that colloidal silver is a better alternative to treating chronic and acute ear infections for both adults and children. Colloidal silver saves you money. Such a small amount of colloidal silver is needed to treat an ear infection that it is an incredibly inexpensive remedy. It works fast, too, often clearing up an infection in a matter of hours rather than days. Multiple doctor visits and courses of antibiotic drugs become unnecessary.

Children are reassured, too, by being treated quickly and effectively at home by their own parents.

Unnecessary doctor visits, painkillers and antibiotics with unfortunate side-effects and the prospect of frightening surgeries are all things of the past for you and your family once you've discovered the powerful healing qualities of colloidal silver.

Using Colloidal Silver for Healthier Fruits and Vegetables

Using Colloidal Silver for Healthier Fruits and Vegetables

by Angela Kaelin

Many grocery stores and chain supermarkets now sell organically grown fruits and vegetables, which is great because there are special nutritional benefits that come from eating organically grown food. Organic foods are healthier because they are not irradiated, they have less exposure to synthetic pesticides, they have higher nutritional content, and overall, they taste better.

Unfortunately, recent outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli in commercial produce across the nation have cast doubts on the safety of the U.S. food supply.

So how can you enjoy the benefits of highly nutritious, organic foods without risking exposure to harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. coli?

In this article you’ll learn how to use a safe, natural mineral supplement called colloidal silver to keep your family safe from food-borne pathogens that can contaminate commercially purchased fruits and vegetables. And you’ll also learn how to use colloidal silver to ensure the safety and quality of foods you may choose to grow organically in your home garden.

A Serious Problem with Commercially Purchased Produce

Even if you purchase expensive, certified organic produce at your local grocery store or supermarket, there can be significant risk of food poisoning. First of all, there are few special procedures in place to keep organic (or non-organic, for that matter) produce free of harmful pathogens such as mold, fungus, bacteria or viruses. That’s because, in part, you never know how many people have handled the produce, or what kind of sanitary precautions they may, or may not, have used.

For example, many nasty episodes of “stomach flu” are now known to be caused, in reality, by eating produce contaminated with norovirus, which almost exclusively ends up on fruits and vegetables when food handlers fail to wash their hands after using the bathroom.

What’s more, hepatitis A, also known as infectious hepatitis, is also widely spread by food and produce handlers via the fecal-to-hand-to-oral route. As many as 270,000 cases a year take place in the U.S. alone, according to CDC estimates. In one recent incident, contaminated green onions were served to customers of a single restaurant in Pennsylvania, leading to a large outbreak of hepatitis A in the United States. And in Canada, over 19,000 people had to be vaccinated for the virus after a produce worker in a grocery store contaminated fruits and vegetables he was handling. How many incidents of produce contamination and infection go unreported each year is difficult to ascertain.

Meanwhile, the FDA not only employs questionable methods to kill pathogens in the nation’s commercial food supply, but oversights on the safety of both domestic and imported produce regularly fail.

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue

As I mentioned above, there is a simple, all-natural mineral supplement known as colloidal silver which for over 100 years has been known to have very powerful antibiotic qualities. Because it is all-natural, and only trace amounts are generally used for the purposes described throughout this article, it is completely safe for plants, animals and humans. And therefore, it can be used to great benefit when growing organic fruits and vegetables. In fact, prudent use of colloidal silver will virtually eliminate crop-borne pathogens. This in turn helps increase crop yields, and makes growing your own organic produce far less expensive, far healthier and far more rewarding.

What’s more, anytime you can’t grow your own organic fruits and vegetables, and have to purchase fresh produce from commercial sources, you can use colloidal silver as a safe and powerful fruit and vegetable wash to help kill harmful bacteria before they find their way to your dinner table.

I’ll show you how to use it both ways, in this article.

Why Is It Best to Go Organic?

In popular usage of the term, “organically grown” refers to foods that are fed nutrition-rich, naturally decomposed organic materials, such as is found in compost. Growers simply mix the composted materials in with the soil in their garden. In other words, rather than using synthetic fertilizers, chemicals and pesticides that are absorbed into the plants and can in turn contaminate human tissues and cause disease when you eat the fruits and vegetables, organic foods are grown the old-fashioned natural way. Decomposed organic material is used to nourish the plants, rather than synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, giving them added strength and nutritional density.

What’s more, because decomposed organic materials are full of beneficial SBO’s (i.e., soil-based organisms, ranging from earthworms, grubs and beetles, to colonies of beneficial microbes that help break-down the organic materials and release nutrients to the plants), it is well known that plants grown organically have far less chance of being contaminated through the soil by harmful pathogens while they are growing. That’s because the process of competitive inhibition helps prevent contamination.

In other words, the same plethora of beneficial SBO’s which help break down organic materials into simple nutrient molecules for plants to absorb also act to compete for territory with pathogens in the soil, and prevent those pathogens from colonizing and contaminating your plants.

In fact, foods grown in soil that is not rich in organic compost have far greater chances of picking up infectious microbes than foods grown in soils that are rich in organic compost. This is why, for example, crops grown on farms using modern artificial farming methods rather than old-fashioned organic farming methods are far more easily contaminated with potentially harmful pathogens when, say, farm workers relieve themselves in the fields rather than taking time to walk to a bathroom. When there are few SBO’s in the soil to compete for territory with pathogens, the pathogens can colonize and spread easily, and the crops can be quickly infected. But when organic farming methods are used, the dense concentrations of SBO’s in the soil help prevent pathogen contamination from spreading.

Artificial fertilizers and chemicals used in conventional gardening and farming also deplete the nutritional value of the food, whereas organic gardening and farming practices dramatically increase the nutritional value of food. A university study shows that organic foods have a higher nutritional value and they contain more healthful anti-carcinogenic properties. Most people say they taste better, too.

Studies also show that growing food organically dramatically increases yields. The increased productivity of the plants decreases overall production costs, as well. In short, organic gardening can provide you and your family with more safe, highly nutritious, inexpensive food than you may have thought possible.

Dangers of Irradiation

Another reason certified organic foods are widely considered to be superior and more desirable to conventional store-bought produce is because they have not been exposed to the controversial practice of irradiation.

The FDA has approved the irradiation of the U.S. food supply without completely studying the possible effects on human health. Industrial byproducts of nuclear power plants, particularly EPA-regulated, cancer-causing cobalt-60, are used in this process. The FDA's purpose in using these radioactive isotopes on our food is to “sterilize” it, so that it can be stored in warehouses and on store shelves for longer periods of time without spoiling.

They also irradiate food in an attempt to destroy harmful bacteria, but the process fails to fully address the fact that some pathogens simply aren’t deterred by radiation. As the author of this article, “The Unknown Dangers of Irradiation,” points out, “Some [bacteria] are not affected by dosage levels used on foods. These include the botulism-causing Clostridium and Deinococcus radiodurans, which actually repairs its own DNA after exposure. Surviving bacteria pose a concern because they inevitably produce resistant generations until irradiation becomes an ineffective method of sterility.”

In short, for all of its highly touted benefits, the reality is that irradiation can be a very ineffective way to destroy the pathogens that cause food-borne illness.
The FDA Fails to Protect Consumers from Food-Borne Bacteria

FDA oversights on the safety of both domestic and imported food have been extremely inadequate.

The Consumer Federation addresses these failures in a letter to the FDA. It cites the illnesses and deaths linked to outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli in fresh produce sold in stores in recent years. These bacteria are particularly dangerous for the very young, the very old, pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems.

The FDA has no special guidelines for inspecting either domestic or imported produce. Surprisingly, only a small percentage of imported food of any kind is inspected by the FDA. According to this May 2007 article in USA Today, only 1.3% is government inspected and most of this is found to be “unfit for human consumption.”

Even if these food products are inspected, and manage to pass inspection, they can be contaminated later, during processing. For example, as mentioned earlier, the people handling your food in the grocery store before you bring it home can easily contaminate fruits and vegetables simply by failing to follow proper sanitary procedures after using the restroom.

The Solution?

Clearly, the government is not adequately protecting your health or that of your family. So you are going to have to protect yourself.

The best solution, of course, is to grow your own organic fruits and vegetables, whenever you can, and use safe, natural colloidal silver to help eliminate any harmful pathogens, and to help boost the vitality and yield of your plants.

And if you absolutely have to purchase your fruits and vegetables from commercial sources, you can also use colloidal silver as a produce wash to help eliminate harmful pathogens before you eat them.

Why Use Colloidal Silver?

Colloidal silver is widely known as the world’s most powerful natural antibiotic and antiseptic substance. For centuries, people have harnessed the power of silver to prevent contamination by pathogens and to fight infections of all sorts.

For example, to this day silver-based products are used in hospitals on burn victims to help keep their burnt flesh from becoming infected by the deadly pseudomonas bacteria. In many hospitals silver is still placed in newborn babies’ eyes at birth in order to prevent infectious microbes in the mother’s birth canal from infecting the baby’s eyes and causing blindness. Silver is also now used in catheters, to prevent urinary tract infections. It has been used in wound dressings to prevent infections since the late 1800’s. It is used in diabetic stockings to prevent diabetic ulcers from becoming infected. It is used in the NASA Space Shuttle for purification of the water supply for the astronauts. Indeed, it is now so widely used in medical, business, military and industrial applications that it has literally become the fastest growing natural antiseptic agent in the world, in terms of usage.

What’s more, silver is the most broad-spectrum antibiotic on the face of the earth. It is known to kill up to 650 different pathogens, while prescription antibiotic drugs kill only a handful each. And it generally takes only a very small amount of silver to do the job, which makes it harmless to humans due to the low levels used. Finally, silver, being completely natural, has never been demonstrated to cause pathogens to mutate.

There are two extremely compelling reasons to use colloidal silver when growing food organically:

First, bacteria, fungus and other pathogens attack plants just like they attack humans. And the healthier your plants are, the better able they are to withstand these pathogenic onslaughts. Using very small amounts of colloidal silver in the soil around your plants allows them to absorb some of the microscopic silver particles, which in turn helps make them super-resistant to pathogens. This in turn increases your crop yield. But more importantly, it helps protect you and your family from ingesting foods contaminated with pathogens.

Second, lightly spraying colloidal silver onto the stem and leaves of your plants prevents unhealthy pathogens such as fungus, bacteria and even viruses from colonizing the outer surfaces of the plants.








In short, the use of colloidal silver makes for healthier plants, and healthier plants have a better chance of fighting off harmful microorganisms. Not only is silver in trace amounts harmless to human beings, but silver absorbed into the plants you eat has significant added health benefits for you, too, including superior immune support and more rapid healing. (For more on this important topic, see chapter 10 in the book, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, titled “How Silver Provides Surprising Nutritional Support to Human Biological Function and Immunity.”)

The bottom line is this: Silver is a mineral vital to human health and immunity, and regularly eating fruits and vegetables grown organically in soil containing trace amounts of silver can provide an added layer of protection for your own health and well-being.

What’s more, spraying the stems and leaves of your plants with small amounts of colloidal silver further enhances their health and vitality, and help keep infection away from you, too.

Safe for the Environment

If you have been following The Colloidal Silver Secrets Blog, you’re probably already aware that some radical environmentalist groups, backed by Big Pharma, have attempted to portray silver as being harmful to the environment by calling into question its effects on soil, water and wildlife. But, these groups often confuse waste from caustic, chemically prepared photographic silver (little used since the advent of digital photography) with safe, natural colloidal silver, which is nothing more than pure mineral silver suspended in water. It’s the same silver that came from the earth in the first place.

What’s more, these environmental groups all too often fail to acknowledge that trace amounts of silver are naturally occurring elements in soil. In fact, much of the earth's farming topsoil is now depleted of its rich natural silver content by over-cultivation. Indeed, in many cases the silver content of plants that for centuries have provided the human body with trace amounts of mineral silver are now woefully inadequate. Adding small amounts of colloidal silver to your organically-grown fruits and vegetables merely restores the natural mineral silver content that has long-since been lost.

How to Use Colloidal Silver on Your Plants

Whether you have a small family garden, or a larger operation, spraying colloidal silver onto your plants and on the soil around your plants is a highly economical way to keep them healthy and pathogen-free.

Only very small amounts of colloidal silver need to be used. If you purchase colloidal silver at health food stores or through online sources in high concentrations, ranging from 20 ppm to 500 ppm or more, you’ll generally save money and you can dilute it with distilled water to 5 ppm for use on your plants. Better still, by purchasing an inexpensive home colloidal silver generator, and making your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart, you can use generous amounts of colloidal silver when necessary, or cover larger crop areas, and you’ll never have to worry about affordability.

Use a simple plastic plant mister available at any Wal-Mart or local gardening outlet to lightly mist all of your garden plants with the diluted colloidal silver. (Don't use plant misters with metal canisters, as the silver will fall out of suspension in solution and adhere to the sides of the canister.) If your plants are experiencing infections of any kind, spray the affected area thoroughly. Multiple applications are safe. Spraying silver on tomatoes can reverse blight after just one treatment. More severe cases of infection may require daily spraying until the problem is alleviated. Spray the plants when you first notice signs of damage.

You can also dramatically reduce mold growth in sprouts by using colloidal silver diluted to 5 ppm in your sprouting tray when you prepare your seeds, either for planting or for eating in soups, salads and other recipes.

Don't forget to spray your indoor house plants, culinary and medicinal herbs, as well. This not only improves the health of the plants, but it reduces bacteria and fungi that can cause indoor allergies.

In the garden, be sure to mist lightly with colloidal silver around the soil of your plants, too. You can do so several times a week if you like. This way, the tiny silver particles enter the soil and are absorbed by the plants, making them healthier and hardier, and better able to withstand any onslaught from fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens. Just don’t saturate the soil with silver, as that could cause a die-off among the many kinds of beneficial microbes that continuously turn organic materials into compost. A little bit of silver misted lightly over the topsoil won’t hurt, and will provide many added benefits to your plants.

Organic gardening is a great way to get your entire family involved in a fun activity while learning greater self-reliance. And using colloidal silver in your garden helps make your efforts more successful and productive, and your home-grown foods significantly safer than store-bought foods.

Use Colloidal Silver to Wash and Disinfect Produce

When you can't grow your own fruits and veggies, protect yourself from potentially harmful pathogens by cleansing your produce in a colloidal silver fruit and vegetable wash.

Use a solution of at least 5 to 10 ppm.

Combine the following:

1 cup of water
½ cup of vinegar
2 tsp. salt (dissolve completely)
¼ to ½ cup homemade colloidal silver

You can soak your fruits and vegetables in this solution or you can put it in a spray bottle and spray them.

Either way, let the solution remain on your food for at least five minutes before rinsing and preparing as usual.

The vinegar in this solution helps to break down any waxy substances that are applied to fruits and vegetables. Water alone will not penetrate them, in fact, many pesticides are designed to be water-resistant. Salt helps to pull out any microscopic bugs. The colloidal silver will safely kill any harmful fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens.

Avoid cross-contamination in your kitchen by washing your hands after each different food you prepare, and by taking care to sanitize any surfaces that have come in contact with raw meat or poultry. You can easily do that by spraying or washing your counter tops, cutting boards and other surfaces with this same solution, or even by using straight colloidal silver.

This colloidal silver vegetable wash is a safe, highly effective way to destroy disease-causing pathogens on your store-bought fruits and vegetables at an economical price. Commercial vegetable washes are expensive, may not effectively kill bacteria and sometimes contain sodium laurel sulfate, a corrosive agent that degenerates human tissues.

Colloidal Silver for Food Safety

The bottom line is that you are the only one who can protect yourself and your family from contaminated food!

Organic gardening with colloidal silver provides a sensible and highly effective solution to the problem of food-borne bacteria and the serious and even life-threatening illnesses it can cause. In addition, when you must buy fruits and vegetables from any commercial source, you can be sure that it is at least safe from harmful pathogens by using your own colloidal silver fruit and vegetable wash as outlined above.

In short, the judicious use of colloidal silver can save you money at the grocery store and at the doctor's office.

Stop Tooth Decay and Heart Disease With Colloidal Silver

Colloidal Silver, Oral Health and Heart Health

by Angela Kaelin

Good oral health involves more than just clean teeth. It's about keeping the entire mouth and all of its tissues healthy and free of harmful buildup of bacteria and other pathogens.

So, while it's good to have an appealing smile, a healthy mouth has broader implications for the health of the entire body, in particular, the heart. That’s because the mouth is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, funguses like candida albicans, parasites and viruses. And the teeth can be conduits that allow these pathogens into the bloodstream, which take them directly to the heart.

Indeed, researchers have found that poor dental hygiene and bleeding gums could allow up to 700 different types of bacteria to enter the bloodstream, which, studies show, increases your risk of a heart attack regardless of how fit and healthy you are.

While good oral care will alleviate a large part of this very real threat to your health, there are some serious yet little-publicized dangers you need to know about involved in the use of many popular commercial oral health care products.

Fortunately, a safe, inexpensive, all-natural mineral supplement known as colloidal silver – considered by experts to be the world’s most powerful, natural antibiotic -- can easily be substituted for the oral health care products now known to be problematic. Here’s what you need to know:

How Oral Bacteria Enters the Bloodstream

While tooth enamel is hard and inert, beneath it lies the dentin, which is a soft, living tissue comprised of collagen, nerves and blood. It contains channels called dentinal tubules that flow into the root canal, or pulp, at the center of the tooth, which includes connective tissues, lymph and blood vessels.

If the gums bleed or if a tooth becomes damaged from decay, trauma, wear or infection, then bacteria can enter the bloodstream from the mouth. From there it can travel throughout the body.

Studies Reveal Heart - Oral Health Connections

Numerous studies now point to a very strong connection between oral health and heart health.

For example, an article in Harvard Health Publications strongly suggests that pathogens released into the bloodstream through the mouth can harm blood vessels and increase clotting.

An article published at the American Heart Association's website discusses the association between bacteria-containing plaque on the teeth and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Another article in The Journal of Periodontolgy further links oral pathogens to coronary vascular disease and stroke.

These prestigious organizations all warn that oral pathogens from decaying teeth and infected gums can lead to increased risk of heart disease and stroke because of this flow of bacteria from the teeth to the heart.

Streptococcus is the primary bacteria contained in plaque that is responsible for tooth decay and gum disease. But, an unlimited type and number of pathogens could conceivably be carried from the mouth and teeth to the heart and throughout the entire body.

Expert Recommendations

The experts recommend brushing twice a day, flossing once per day and making a visit to your dentist for tartar removal twice per year. For disinfection, they recommend mouthwashes. While you may have heard of the dangers of sodium fluoride in most commercial toothpastes, you may not have heard that commercial mouthwashes are linked to an increased rate of cancers of the mouth and pharynx.

Dangers of Commercial Mouthwashes

Mouthwashes containing alcohol and other constituents believed to destroy bacteria and viruses are the conventional means of destroying pathogens in the mouth. But, they are not only inadequate disinfectants, but they carry risks of their own. The chemicals they contain can actually cause a disease state.

Alcohol is the primary disinfecting agent in most commercial mouthwashes. A recent study in The Australian Dental Journal points to alcohol-containing commercial mouthwashes as a cause of oral cancer. The research concluded that health care professionals should not recommend them for long-term use. The author of this study, Professor McCullough of Melbourne University, says that these products are so dangerous that they should be pulled from shelves or, at least, come with a warning label.

Alcohol is not 100% effective in controlling pathogens leaving bacteria behind to breed and mutate, damaging tissues over a period of time. The drying effect of the alcohol in commercial mouthwashes can actually cause bad breath, as well.

These mouthwashes often contain other questionable ingredients, such as chlorhexidine, which is an irritant that can stain teeth with prolonged use. In addition, its effectiveness in preventing tooth decay is debatable.

According to a recent article, a few U.K. companies were forced to recal thousands of mouthwash products after discovering that they were contaminated with aerobic mesophile, a dangerous bacteria that can cause lung infections in people with respiratory conditions or poorly functioning immune systems.

Similar incidents have occurred in the U.S., such as the 2005 Food and Drug Administration's recall of mouthwashes infected with Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), another bacteria that causes respiratory illness.

Of course, the stated purpose of commercial mouthwashes is to destroy bacteria, but the fact that such recalls have occurred seems to demonstrate not only their ineffectiveness, but the recklessness of the companies that produce them.

Safer, Cheaper, More Effective Oral Care

Colloidal silver is a safe, inexpensive alternative to mouthwashes. Traditionally, it is considered to be non-toxic and highly effective in killing a broad range of pathogens. Studies show that it is effective against candida albicans that can cause oral thrush (a.k.a. “thrush mouth”). And anecdotal evidence demonstrates that it can be used to help heal pyorrhea that, left untreated, can lead to deterioration of the jaw and may eventually require surgery.

It also eliminates the causes of halitosis. And it disables the ability of potentially dangerous viruses in the mouth to replicate before they have a chance to spread to other organs. What’s more, according to many researchers it has an overall positive effect on the immune system, leading to a healthier heart and a healthier body.

How Silver Destroys Pathogens in the Mouth

According to researchers, the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles in colloidal silver kill pathogens in two ways: One, they can adhere to the enzyme receptor sites on the outer cell wall of a pathogen, and prevent it from respiring. (In other words, silver in essence smothers the pathogen.) And two, if the silver particles are small enough they can interfere with the reproductive capabilities of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms by attaching to the DNA and preventing the organism from replicating. This also renders pathogens unable to mutate, so no mutations are left behind as with other antibiotics or disinfectants.

What’s more, tiny nano-particles of silver enter the bloodstream and flow throughout the body to safely destroy bacteria, viruses, funguses and other pathogens. If the silver particles are small enough, they can even enter the bloodstream through the rich network of veins under the tongue and in the cheeks.

Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of the bestselling books The Body Electric and Cross Currents, demonstrated in studies conducted at Syracuse Medical University that small amounts of silver in the human body were extremely beneficial to the immune system. He discovered that people with excessively low levels of silver have more frequent colds and other infections, whereas people with adequate silver levels tended to have less frequent colds and infections, and when they do get sick, the illness is very often of a much shorter duration.

What this means is that using colloidal silver as part and parcel of your daily oral health care regimen can have many other very positive beneficial effects on your entire body.

Colloidal Silver for Oral Health

For the health of your mouth and your heart, continue the dentist recommended practice of brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing or using an oral irrigator once a day. And see your dentist for a cleaning twice annually.

But, instead of commercial mouthwashes, consider using colloidal silver instead. Taken as directed on the bottle or by experienced health care practitioners, it is non-toxic, safe for your teeth and gums and it thoroughly destroys all kinds of destructive pathogens.

In short, colloidal silver is the saner, safer and cheaper alternative to potentially dangerous commercial mouthwashes.

How to Use Colloidal Silver as a Mouthwash and Gargle

Hold colloidal silver in your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. You can swish it around gently, or just hold it over a problem area, such as a sore tooth or inflamed gums. This allows time for the dentin as well as the surrounding tissues to absorb it.

In order to maintain oral and bodily health, experienced users suggest a maintenance dosage of 1 to 3 tsp. of 10-15 ppm of colloidal silver once or twice per day.

In cases of injuries, infection or following surgery, many experienced colloidal silver users recommend taking up to 10 spoonfuls throughout the day for one week. This increased dosage should quickly destroy any destructive pathogens and speed recovery. For cases of mouth ulcers and sore throats, simply gargle with colloidal silver as you would a conventional mouthwash.

Unlike dangerous allopathic drugs, colloidal silver is virtually non-toxic when used as directed, so there is no need to agonize over the exact dosage. Frequent small doses may be more effective than single larger ones until healing is achieved.

Commercial toothpastes carry a warning about the dangers of swallowing them. And based on the most recent research, commercial mouthwashes should carry such warnings. But, unless you’re one of those rare people who are allergic to silver (which you’d likely already know, because you could not wear silver jewelry or have silver-amalgam fillings in your mouth), you don’t have to worry about adverse effects from swallowing small amounts of colloidal silver. In the small quantities traditionally used for nutritional supplementation purposes, it is 100% non-toxic.

A Final Warning: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Be aware that many common commercial toothpastes contain sodium lauryl sulfate, a substance that deteriorates human tissue and causes mouth ulcers. There are safer alternatives available at health food stores, such as Xyliwhite (NOW Brand), Weleda, Coral White, and Kiss My Face. These products never contain sodium lauryl sulfate. When shopping for healthier toothpastes or other oral health care products, be sure to read the list of ingredients, even if the product labels claim that they are “natural.”

In a pinch, a simple paste made of baking soda and colloidal silver will work wonders to help brush away the daily plaque build-up. Just sprinkle a little bit of baking soda on a toothbrush you’ve wet with some colloidal silver. Or, pour a little into your palm or a small bowl and dip your wet toothbrush into it. Baking soda is slightly abrasive, so brush thoroughly but gently to remove soft plaque and whiten your teeth.

If you do have mouth ulcers, holding colloidal silver in your mouth several times a day for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing will sooth the sores, help to speed healing and prevent infection.

Colloidal Silver - Nature's Dentifrice

Colloidal Silver is the natural, effective, common sense way to maintain exceptional oral health and hygiene. Oral health is necessary not only for beautiful, strong teeth, but for the maintenance of good heart health and, undoubtedly, the health of the entire body. Colloidal silver destroys disease-causing microorganisms in the mouth, and soothes and heals the gums and oral tissues, while also boosting the immunity of the entire body.

It's also an inexpensive and highly effective alternative to commercial oral health care products and the potentially dangerous consequences of their use. As always, colloidal silver puts you in control of your own health care.

Why do the environmentalists have such a dread fear of silver nano-particles?

Why do the environmentalists have such dread fear of silver nano-particles?

I’ve received a number of queries asking me why the radical environmentalists seem to be so fearful of products containing silver nano-particles, including colloidal silver, and do I think there is actually any truth to their assertions that products containing silver nano-particles could cause harm to the environment.

No Real Cause for Alarm

As I stated in my blog post of Feb. 25, titled "Colloidal Silver and NanoSilver: What's the Difference?" there is no reason whatsoever for these radical environmental groups to be involved in this issue.

There has never been any problem with colloidal silver and the environment, and there has never been a problem with so-called “nano-silver” and the environment.

So what's the real reason the radical environmentalists trying to force the Environmental Protection Agency to pull out all stops and regulate silver as a dangerous “pesticide”?

I’ll answer that question in just a minute. But first, let’s take a look at some of the reasons the environmentalists cite for regulating silver.

Environmentalists Claims v/s Reality

As I explain in the February 25th blog post, the environmentalists constantly bring up the case of the film manufacturing industry which produced a chemical silver compound known as silver halide as a byproduct of film processing and manufacturing.

Many years ago, members of the film industry illegally dumped a number of tons of that caustic chemical silver compound into San Francisco bay. Over time the clams at the bottom of the bay began to absorb the massive amounts of this illegally dumped chemical form of silver, and it caused them to quit breeding. That's about the only environmental "catastrophe" the environmentalists can point to, involving a form of silver.

Of course, the bay is fine today. The claims are doing fine, too. And there is basically no film industry any more (thanks largely to the advent of digital cameras).

What’s more, the EPA now regulates silver spills very carefully. Yet by the EPA’s own standards, silver entering the environment from outside sources has been demonstrated to be so safe that even spills as high as 1,000 gallons don’t need to be reported to the EPA.

Now, if you spill as little as three gallons of chlorine, you are supposed to report that to the EPA and have the cleanup handled by a HAZMAT crew. But 1,000 gallons of silver can be spilled, and it’s basically no big deal.

Isn’t that amazing? Yet the radical environmentalists would have you believe some poor guy in Bakersfield, California washing his diabetic foot stockings that have silver nano-particles embedded into the fabric, or some natural health proponent in Boise, Idaho spraying a little bit of colloidal silver into his kitchen sink to keep the microbial count down, is going to cause an environmental catastrophe.

No Real Chance of Harm

The bottom line is that the chances of any product containing tiny silver nano-particles causing harm to the environment is just about nil, because it would have to be introduced into a relatively closed environment (like a lake, or a bay) and literally tons of it would have to be dumped into the enclosed environment in a relatively short time in order to cause any harm.

But the radical environmentalists don’t care about the facts. They constantly cite, for example, the idea that certain types of clothing that now have tiny silver nano-particles embedded into the fabric in order to help prevent infection (such as the new diabetic foot stockings, designed to prevent diabetic ulcers from becoming infected) could allow silver particles to leach out into the environment when they are washed in the washing machine. This, they claim, has the potential to create an environmental crisis.

What they NEVER tell you, as I pointed out in more detail in the February 25th blog post, is that whenever silver nano-particles leach from products they are embedded in, such as diabetic foot stockings, or computer keyboards, or whatever, they almost immediately begin to bond (in a process called “agglomeration”) with salts, minerals and other substances in their immediate environment, forming larger particle agglomerates.

Thus, the tiny silver nano-particles completely lose their nano-scale properties, becoming essentially inert.

Ludicrous Assertions

What’s more, the likelihood of enough people washing enough concentrated loads of clothing containing silver nano-particles (remember, it would take literally tons of the little particles to contaminate an enclosed waterway), and having those silver particles end up in a single enclosed environment such as a lake or bay, is just about nil.

In fact, it is ludicrous to even think about it. But this is the kind of thing the environmentalists scream about. Apparently, the idea that even a single silver nano-particle might somehow find its way into the environment gives them nightmares. They have simply demonized silver nano-particles to the point you’d think we were talking about the ebola virus.

No Harm to Plant Life, Either

As for the idea that these tiny silver nano-particles might somehow harm plant life in the environment, there is simply no evidence silver ever has, or ever will, do so.

For example, wheat and other grains are chock full of tiny particles of silver. For some reason the grains absorb silver from the ground at a higher rate than other plants. Perhaps that why they’re so good for you. And of course, their relatively high silver content causes them no harm whatsoever.

My wife sprays colloidal silver directly onto her tomato plants during growing season in order to keep the tomato fungus off them. She gets big beautiful tomatoes every time. Similarly, she recently purchased a Goji berry tree off of e-Baythat developed a leaf fungus after it arrived. She quickly sprayed it with colloidal silver, and it completely recovered and is thriving.

So the shrill cries of the environmental groups about the so-called “dangers” of silver are absolutely ridiculous on all counts.

Who’s Paying Them to Conduct This Campaign Against Silver?

The radical environmental groups behind the drive to demonsize silver get the bulk of their funding, to the tune of millions of dollars a year, from donations from corporate and individual sponsors, as well as from government grants. Our best guess is that Big Pharma is funding them through one or more surreptitious pathways to pursue this avenue of silver regulation.

After all, who stands to benefit the most from restricting silver’s availability to the general public?

As I stated in the Feb. 25 blog post, it is Big Pharma (the major drug companies) who stand to gain the most:

"Big Phama failed to get colloidal silver banned by the FDA back in 1999, succeeding only in having the FDA ban the mention of silver’s powerful antibiotic qualities from product advertising and labeling.

Of course, that backfired on them. The FDA’s 1999 'Final Ruling' on colloidal silver only served to incense the public about bureaucratic meddling in their health care choices. As a direct result of the anger generated by the FDA’s 'Final Ruling,' more people today know about and regularly use colloidal silver than ever before.

So now they are trying to restrict colloidal silver by using paid shills within the environmental movement to promote the spurious idea that 'nanosilver is harmful to the environment.'”

Their Hypocrisy Points to Who They Are Working For

Isn’t it interesting that the environmentalists are making such an outcry against silver as a possible environmental pollutant, and yet they are saying absolutely NOTHING about the tons of pharmaceutical drugs that are poured into our nations waterways every year, to the point that those drugs are now turning up in the drinking water of 46 million Americans living in our major cities?

The fact that the radical environmental groups basically ignore a real problem (potentially dangerous drugs in the drinking water of 46 million U.S. homes) in order to focus so heavily on a fabricated problem (tiny particles off silver going back into the environment they originally came from) pretty much tells you who they are working for.

Simply use the process of deduction. They won’t go after the medical/pharmaceutical industry in order to stop tons of potentially dangerous drugs from being dumped into America’s drinking water sources. But they will go after products containing silver nano-particles, which the medical/pharmaceutical industry has a history of opposing.

As Sherlock Holmes would say, “It’s elementary, my dear Watson.”
