Yikes! Nobody likes hemorrhoids, which are often
called “piles” due to the protruding inflammation so common to the condition.
The discomfort from
the enlargement of rectal tissues, combined with the pain and itching (and
sometimes bleeding), can border on misery.
And when a hemorrhoid doesn’t clear up on its own, the thought of a
doctor surgically removing it can be…well… quite harrowing and nerve-wracking,
to say the least.
Thankfully,
over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams work pretty well to tame the flame and help
bring down the swelling of hemorrhoids.
But if you don’t have
any hemorrhoid cream at home, and there’s no one to run to the pharmacy to get
some for you when you need it the most, that long drive to the drug store
sitting on your, uh, “protrusion,” isn’t always the most comfortable thing to
experience.
Thankfully, according
to many colloidal silver users, there are three different ways to use colloidal
silver to clear up a mild to moderate case of hemorrhoids. Always check with your doctor first, of
course. But here’s a quick look at what
people are saying has worked for them…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
A lot of people have told me they use a good commercial colloidal
silver gel or colloidal silver cream for hemorrhoids (aka “piles”), particularly
when over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams aren’t available.
Others have told me they make their own colloidal silver gel
or cream (see below for more details) and use it when they have hemorrhoids or
other problematic skin conditions.
In either case, they simply apply the colloidal silver gel
or cream directly to the inflamed area, several times a day, just as you’d use a
commercial hemorrhoid cream.
Reducing Inflammation
Silver, of course, has been shown repeatedly to soothe and
heal a wide variety of skin conditions and wounds (see here
and here
for numerous examples).
But what many people don’t know is that silver has also been
demonstrated to reduce inflammation
such as that associated with wounds, various skin conditions and infections.
Indeed, in one clinical study, researchers demonstrated that silver nanoparticles have
the ability to reduce what’s referred to as “excessive cytokine expression,”
and thus reduce unwanted inflammation that often gets in the way of
healing.
This is important news, because cytokines are signaling
molecules in the body that tell the immune system to send white blood cells and
other infection-fighters to the site of a wound or related problem. This can cause mild inflammation,
which is a normal part of
healing.
But…in
some cases, the pro-inflammatory effects of cytokine expression can get “stuck”
in high gear, so to speak. The result
can be excessive unwanted inflammation that actually becomes a roadblock to the
healing process – such as in the case of chronic hemorrhoids.
Indeed, experts say excessive cytokine expression can be a real
problem in chronic hemorrhoids, which is to say, hemorrhoids lasting more than
two or three days.
As one website for a commercial, over-the-counter hemorrhoid
product states:
“Multiple anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines are liberated
on the piles surface, with a shift over time towards the predominance of
pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to a persisting condition.
Therefore,
an ideal hemorrhoid treatment should neutralize the pro-inflammatory
cytokines and reduce the edema” [i.e. the swelling/inflammation – ED].
In other words, the best way to treat piles (i.e.,
hemorrhoids) is to do something to help stop the excessive inflammation caused
by pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.
That’s fascinating, because, as the research cited earlier has
shown, that’s exactly what
antimicrobial silver does.
Indeed,
researchers have demonstrated that in such cases, antimicrobial silver has a
modulating (or calming) effect on cytokine expression, resulting in both
reduced inflammation and increased speed of healing.
According
to the authors of the above-mentioned study:
"It has been shown in vivo that silver nanoparticles
act to decrease inflammation through cytokine modulation."
What’s
more, the study authors concluded, “These experimental data suggest that nano-silver
could be used to treat immunologic and inflammatory diseases.”
Here’s
an excerpt from an article summarizing the results of the
study:
“Silver has for centuries been used to treat and prevent
infection, and its wound-healing properties are well known…
…But the new research...indicates that silver goes further
than this and modifies cytokines – the enzymes involved in cell growth and
movement – leading to reduced inflammation and an increased rate of
healing.”
That’s precisely
what’s often needed when hemorrhoids erupt and won’t go away on their own.
3 Ways People Are
Using Colloidal Silver
To Help Their Body
Heal Hemorrhoids
There are three basic ways colloidal silver can be used to
help the body heal hemorrhoids:
1.)
Application of a topical colloidal silver gel
2.)
Application of a bath cloth soaked in liquid colloidal silver
3.)
Colloidal silver used in a “sitz bath.”
Here are the details for each:
Topical Colloidal Silver
Gel
You can always purchase a good commercial colloidal silver
gel, such as ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel (contains 24 ppm colloidal
silver), which is usually available relatively inexpensively on Amazon.com or
at SwansonVitamins.com.
You can learn about other good, widely available commercial
colloidal silver gels and creams in the article, Germ-Busting
Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams.
Caveat: While the
manufacturers of such products do not
market them for use in place of over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams, anecdotal
accounts demonstrate that they do indeed work just as well or even better.
The colloidal silver gel is preferred for hemorrhoids over purely
liquid colloidal silver products, because the gel tends to keep the silver in
touch with the affected area longer than simply applying liquid colloidal
silver can.
Most ardent colloidal silver users I know make their own
colloidal silver gel by mixing liquid colloidal silver into a pure aloe vera
gel product.
To learn one of the easiest ways to make your own topical
colloidal silver gel, instead of buying commercial colloidal silver gels, see
this short video titled Making
Your Own Colloidal Silver Gel and Colloidal Silver Soap.
Or, read further to learn how one reader solved her
hemorrhoid problems by making her own colloidal silver gel using a hand-held blender.
If you can't afford a good commercial colloidal silver gel
or cream, or don't want to take the time to make your own, there are still two more options you can try, which many
people claim have worked wonders for them:
Bath Cloth Soaked
in Colloidal Silver
One, you can soak a bath cloth in 10 ppm or higher colloidal
silver, and apply it topically while soaking wet to the inflamed rectal area,
leaving it on for 15 or 20 minutes at a time, three or four times a day to
obtain relief from the swollen tissues.
“Sitz Bath”
Technique
Or, two, you can use a colloidal silver "sitz
bath."
That's where you fill a small pot called a "sitz
pot" (usually available in drug stores) with warm water. The small pot actually fits over your toilet
bowl. You then sit on it, allowing the
affected area of the rectum to be submerged into the soothing warm water.
But here’s the key: Most
people tell me that for hemorrhoids, they add four or five ounces of colloidal
silver to the sitz bath water in order to increase the rate of healing.
If you have a colloidal silver generator
to make your own colloidal silver inexpesively, you could even experiment with
using straight colloidal silver in the sitz bath, rather than mixing colloidal
silver into warm water.
But based on anecdotal accounts, a good colloidal silver gel or cream seems to work best. Again,
that’s because the gel (or cream) tends to keep the silver in direct touch with
affected area of the skin much longer than you could using either of the two alternative
methods described above.
How One Intrepid
Colloidal Silver User
Solved Her Hemorrhoid
Problems
Here's what one lady who makes her own colloidal silver gel wrote
about its virtually immediate effects on her hemorrhoids (she mentions using it
on hemorrhoids at the very end):
"Not long after purchasing the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator, I was watching one of your videos on making colloidal silver gel
and I decided to try it out for myself.
I
poured equal parts 20 ppm colloidal silver and 100 percent Aloe Vera Gel into a
bowl (1/4 cup of each), mixed it together with an electric handheld blender and
began applying it as an antiseptic ointment to cuts, scratches and insect
bites.
Because
I have several grandchildren who spend time with me during the summer, it
wasn't long before my first batch was gone.
I
was contemplating making a new batch when I got to wondering what, if anything,
colloidal silver could do to help the athlete's foot problem I'd been battling
with no relief for over 20 years. So as soon as the new batch was made, I
rubbed some of it on my feet.
I
used it on my feet twice daily for two weeks. Then one of life's interruptions
occurred and I had to leave my home for a few weeks. I forgot to take the gel
with me and so was forced to stop the daily application.
Mentally
preoccupied with the interruption, it was nearly a month before I noticed my
feet as I was taking my socks off one day. Where they had been rough, with
deep, often bleeding, cracks in the heels, they were now soft and smooth.
Even
though I was back home by now, I hadn't started applying the gel daily again so
what I was seeing was a residual effect.
As
I sat there staring at my feet in awe, I realized that I couldn't even remember
the last time they'd itched, which had been a daily problem before. And there
were no signs of the red bumps and little blisters that so often accompany
athlete's foot.
My
feet, in fact, looked as if I'd never experienced the problem at all, and this
after 20 years of fighting it and after having only applied the gel for two
weeks and no longer.
It
has been a year now since I was troubled with athlete's foot. I never have to
apply the gel anymore because there are never any signs of the athlete's foot
fungus returning. My feet are still smooth, soft and wonderfully itch-free.
Delighted
with the outcome, I decided to start experimenting using the gel on other
things.
I
began applying it every morning after washing my face and discovered that it
worked wonderfully well, not only leaving my skin soft and fresh feeling, but
also putting an abrupt end to those little acne flare-ups that sometimes happen
no matter how old we get.
"I
also began using it as a deodorant, too, and realized I'd never had a better
one. Not only did it leave me feeling fresh all day long, even if I forgot to
apply it, there was no problem with odor. Like when I applied the gel to my
feet, it seemed to have a residual effect as a deodorant, too.
"When
I was bothered by hemorrhoids, I decided to try the colloidal silver gel and
noticed almost instant relief."
Another woman wrote in to explain how her daughter, who had
just given birth to her first child at home, was using colloidal silver during
and after the birthing process. In part,
she wrote:
“My daughter also used
plenty of colloidal silver in the water of the birthing pool, and after the
birth of the baby for the cord…and later for the treatment of the baby's
umbilical area, and for washing the baby.
She continues to use colloidal silver
for the baby, from umbilical care to skin rashes. It works like a charm.
She also used it for personal care and
cleaning, and says it worked WONDERS for hemorrhoids.”
Interestingly, a 2009 clinical white paper by J. Wesley
Alexander, published in the journal Surgical
Infections, and titled History
of the Medical Use of Silver, states that, historically speaking, silver
has been used for the treatment of conditions such as “hemorrhoids, dandruff,
and warts.”
The author of the white paper is careful to note that no
clinical medical evidence exists for the use of silver for those particular
health conditions. Yet in spite of the lack
of clinical evidence, silver has nevertheless gained a reputation as a
reliable treatment for those conditions.
And why isn’t there any clinical medical evidence to support
the use of colloidal silver for hemorrhoids, dandruff and warts?
I don’t know. You’d
think by now medical science would catch on to what experienced colloidal silver
users have known for decades.
But unfortunately, medical science is so often wrapped up in
attempting to create novel, or new medications that can be patented and
monopolized, it misses what’s been right in front of its nose all along.
The bottom line is that experienced colloidal silver users
know it works to heal the pain, itching and inflammation associated with
hemorrhoids and other skin conditions. And
now you know it, too!
One Final Important Thought…
If you’re new to colloidal silver usage and are wondering
where to buy it, it’s important to know that you can find it in just about any
well-stocked health food store in America.
It’s also available on Amazon, or at online stores like
SwansonVitamins.com. But it can be
extremely expensive.
In fact, because it works so well against numerous forms of
infection and disease, colloidal silver has the highest price mark-up of any nutritional
supplement in existence.
Indeed, the amount of actual silver in a typical four-ounce
bottle of colloidal silver is about five to 12 cents worth. (Yes, I
said five to twelve cents.) Yet the manufacturers mark
that up a whopping 60,000%, charging $20 or $30 per bottle.
People are willing to pay through the nose for
colloidal silver at health food stores because it’s safe and completely natural,
and it heals infections (like colds, flu, sore throats) and prevents the spread
of germs and disease faster and better than just about anything else
on the planet. Plus, it heals skin
conditions like magic (see here
and here).
So, commercially speaking, the retail price of colloidal
silver at health food stores reflects its value to the consumer far
more so than its true cost to produce.
But here’s the good
news:
With a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge, you can make your own safe, pure,
high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for about 36
cents a quart!
In other words, you
can make it for about the same price the big colloidal silver manufacturers
make it for, but skip the outrageous mark-ups they tend to charge once their
products reach the health food stores.
Indeed, compared to typical health food store prices of $20
to $30 for a tiny 4-oz. bottle, the very first one-quart batch you make with a
new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator literally pays for the entire
cost of your new generator!
Do you know of any other product that literally pays for
itself the very first time you use it? The savings are
absolutely astonishing, as you’ll see below!
As Close to FREE Colloidal Silver
As You Can Come, For the Rest of Your Life
In
fact, by making your own high-quality colloidal silver with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge, you’ll be as close to having FREE colloidal
silver as you can get, for the rest of your life!
You'll never have to pay those exorbitant health food store
prices again!
The new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator is now the
world's #1 most popular home colloidal silver generator. Here are just a few
reasons why you should own one:
- It pays for itself after your very first batch - your total cost to make your first quart is about 36 cents, compared to the $240 you'd pay at a health food store if you bought an equivalent amount (i.e., eight of those little 4-ounce bottles they normally sell for $30 apiece)!
- Safe, simple to operate...No special skills needed…You just set the handy timer, plug it in, walk away, and three hours later you have a perfect batch of therapeutic quality micro-particle colloidal silver…every time! Here’s a short pictorial demonstrating how astonishingly easy it is to use a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.
- Produces uncommonly small silver micro-particles as low as .8 nm. That's a fraction of a single nanometer. Compare that to health food store colloidal silver which can contain silver particles as large as 200 nm (or even larger), and you'll see why micro-particle colloidal silver is the very best there is! Smaller particles mean your body can absorb and utilize up to 99% of the colloidal silver you take, compared to maybe 40% or 50% or less with many health food store brands!
- Runs on standard household electricity, but uses less power than a tiny Christmas tree bulb - you won't even see a blip on your electric bill!
- Produces uniform, crystal clear batches every single time that store for months, or even years, without losing potency!
- Cannot produce silver chloride or unsafe substances - you get pure, therapeutic-quality micro-particle colloidal silver every time!
Just read through some of the testimonials below to see for
yourself how you'll save literally thousands
of dollars per year by making your own colloidal silver with a brand new
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge!
Here’s what one customer recently wrote to tell us:
“Your Colloidal
Silver Machine is the
Single-Best
Money-Saving Appliance in My House!”
"Owning a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge has given us the luxury of being able to use
high-quality colloidal silver any time we need it.
And we never have to worry about the costs because it’s only a few pennies per quart to make! It’s without a doubt the single-best money-saving appliance in my entire house!
And we never have to worry about the costs because it’s only a few pennies per quart to make! It’s without a doubt the single-best money-saving appliance in my entire house!
Best of all, the machine is very easy to use, and easy to
store. I was concerned about ease-of-use, but my fears were unfounded. After I
got my generator, and used it, I immediately bought one and sent it to my 83
year old mom, and she uses it regularly as well.
Now that I have a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator, I can use colloidal silver for everything – not just for resolving
colds, flu, sore throats, earaches, eye infections , food poisoning and more,
but also for disinfecting my kitchen sink, countertops, and the cutting board… spraying
the toilet bowls, and the bathroom countertops and sinks… spraying it on my
toothbrush to prevent bacterial growth…rinsing my mouth with it to prevent
cavities and gum disease…you name it.
I even put it in the laundry rinse cycle when I do the
family linens, towels and kitchen rags, so I don't have to wash them as
frequently as I used to. It really keeps
them fresh. And because I use colloidal
silver as a household disinfectant, there's never any mold or mildew anywhere
in our house.
I also put some in the cat's water bowl each day, and the
dog's water bowl too. And their health and been fabulous as a
result.
We use it in the bathtub for skin
problems. And of course we drink it when our tummies are queasy, or
when we feel a cold or flu coming on. We also gargle with it in
order to get rid of sore throats, and sniff it up our noses to get rid of sinus
infections.
My husband even sprays it on his hair in the mornings,
and has completely eliminated his lifelong dandruff problem. And he
sprays a little bit in his eyes from time to time, and now has no more
recurrent problems with sties.
-- K. Sullivan, NM
Here’s what another happy customer wrote to say about the
tremendous savings she’s achieved by no longer having to purchase her colloidal
silver through health food stores:
"We’ve Saved
Thousands of Dollars A Year
Thanks to Your
Colloidal Silver Generator!"
"We make a quart of colloidal silver at least once a
week with the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from
the Silver Edge.
I finally sat down and figured out how much this machine
has been saving us. By making our own colloidal silver we've saved $11,503.20
this year alone, compared to the cost of colloidal silver at our local health
food store.
The cost for colloidal silver at our local health food
store is $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle. But with my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator, I can make eight times that amount (i.e., a full quart)
for about 35 cents total cost.
If I were to purchase a quart of colloidal silver at the
health food store, which would be eight of those tiny, four-ounce bottles, the
cost would be a whopping $240 (i.e., 8 x $30 = $240) compared to the
35 cents I now spend to make a full quart with my colloidal silver
generator!
This means we save about $239.65 a week by not
having to purchase a quart’s worth of colloidal silver at our local health food
store.
So do the math: In just one month, the savings is
$958.60…in one year, the savings is $11,503.20…and in the five years we’ve owned
our Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator we’ve saved approximately
$57,516.00!
When you put pencil to paper and figure it out, it
definitely takes you by surprise. You just think "No way. I must have
multiplied that wrong."
But it's true. The savings are legitimately well over
$11,000 a year compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, if
you make and use a quart of colloidal silver a week like we do!
And we reap that incredible savings from the very
reasonable $250 investment we made in purchasing our Micro-Particle Colloidal
Silver Generator.
Of course, once you start making your own colloidal
silver with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, you don't really think
about how much you're saving compared to health food store prices, because it
just becomes a normal part of your everyday life. But the savings are
nevertheless astonishing when you reflect on them.
What's especially nice is being able to produce a
significantly higher-quality colloidal silver than what's generally available
to the public through health food stores, especially at such a tiny, tiny
fraction of the cost."
-- Marie Wilkey, SC
The Bottom Line...
With a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge, you'll never again have to
pay exorbitant health food store or internet vendor prices for high-quality
colloidal silver!
Indeed, your first batch or two will completely
pay for the entire cost of your generator, compared to health food store
prices!
What's more, you'll be able to give plenty of healing and
infection-fighting colloidal silver away FREE to family members, friends and
neighbors, because you'll be making it -- literally -- for only a few pennies
per batch!
