This month (May 2016) the FDA has been dealing with several
different food recalls due to fruits, vegetables and nuts contaminated with the
potentially deadly Listeria monocytogenes
pathogen.
Canada, too, has been dealing with a similar food recall,
concerning frozen beans contaminated with the Listeria pathogen.
Surprisingly, one of the U.S. food recalls has to do with organically grown
fruits and veggies contaminated with the potentially deadly Listeria pathogen. It just goes to show that even when you buy
the very best fresh foods, you can still run the risk of food poisoning.
That’s why, if you’re wise, you’ll have colloidal silver on hand
at all times.
After all, colloidal silver is one of the very best all-natural
infection-fighting substances on the face of the earth. And in the experiences of thousands of people
world-wide, it quite literally decimates many food poisoning pathogens.
Learn more about the extraordinary benefits of using colloidal
silver against potentially deadly food poisoning pathogens such as Listeria in
the article below…
Here's a good reason to ALWAYS have
colloidal silver on hand:
Even the best organic fruits, veggies,
nuts, beans and other foods can end up being contaminated with potentially
deadly microbes, resulting in horrific cases of food poisoning.
In one particular recent case, certain organic fruits and veggies have been recalled
nationwide by the FDA due to contamination with the potentially deadly
food-poisoning pathogen known as Listeria monocytogenes.
You can read about the latest U.S.
food recall in the official FDA public notice at this link, dated May
2, 2016. Or, read the article “Listeria
Outbreaks a Growing Threat,” at this
link for information on the Canadian food recall.
What is Listeria?
According to food safety experts, Listeria
is an organism that “can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.”
Experts at the University of Guelph
in Ontario, Canada point out that about one out of every three people infected
with Listeria will die from the infection.
They write:
“Listeria, known by its scientific name as L. monocytogenes,can be especially
deadly. This pathogen is found in soil, vegetation, water, sewage, livestock
feed and feces.
It’s also found in many foods, including meats, fish, produce
and dairy products. Humans and animals can carry listeria without knowing it.
Listeria can survive typical refrigeration temperatures, and
does not affect the look, smell or taste of contaminated food.
‘When it does hit, it can be very severe and serious,’ says food
science professor Jeffrey Farber. ‘In an
outbreak situation, if 100 people are infected, you could expect 30 of those
people to die.’”
Colloidal Silver v/s Listeria
But of course, the important question is this: Does colloidal silver kill the Listeria pathogen?
You bet it does!
In fact, years ago a company called
NVID International Inc., which was doing experiments using small amounts of
silver to decontaminate public water systems, confirmed that ionic silver
killed Listeria, as well as eight other serious pathogens.
Listeria was among the nine bacteria
that were easily killed by ionic silver. Here's the complete list:
· Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 11543
· Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442
· Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538
· Salmonella cholerasuis ATCC 10708
· E.Coli ATCC 0157:H7
· Enterococcus faecium ATCC 11543
· Rhinovirus (common colds)
· Rotavirus (infectious diarrhea)
· Vancomycin-resistant-enterococci
(VRE)
To learn more, here's a short article I wrote years ago titled Ionic Silver Purifies Municipal
Drinking Water, explaining how NVID International Inc. discovered the fact that
silver kills the Listeria pathogen, as well as eight other potentially deadly
pathogens, while testing pathogen levels in municipal drinking water.
Since the time I wrote the above two articles, much
new information on colloidal silver’s effectiveness against Listeria has come
to light.
For example, Brooks Bradley, a researcher at the
Harbone Research Foundation, has also found that colloidal silver kills the
Listeria pathogen, among other potentially deadly food-poisoning
pathogens. He wrote:
"Several
years ago we conducted some rather extensive evaluations of various protocols
promising effective results against various pathogenic agents which cause 'food
poisoning'.
The
one protocol, effective against ALL agents evaluated, was colloidal silver. A 5
ppm solution proved effective against all pathogens tested; yielding complete
control within 6 to 8 minutes.....regardless of concentration of the pathogenic
agent.
Control
was effected in some solutions as weak as one part of 5 ppm colloidal silver, to
50,000 parts contaminated solution.
Among the many agents tested were botulinum,
campyobacter, salmonella and listeria
(bacterial agents); and norwalk-like viruses and hepatitus A (viral agents).”
What’s more, according to a clinical study
published in the International Food
Resource Journal in 2011, titled, “A study on the minimum inhibitory
concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of Nano Colloidal Silver
on food-borne pathogens,” researchers wrote:
“Nano
colloidal silver can be a potential antimicrobial agent due to its low cost of
production and high effectiveness in antimicrobial properties, which may find
wide applications in various food industries to address food safety issues...
…Ten different concentration of
Nano Colloidal Silver were tested against Listeria
monocytogenes Escherichia coli
O157:H7, Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi, Vibrio cholerae,Vibrio
parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus and
Staphylococcus aureus…”
The researchers discovered that the Listeria monocytogenes pathogen was
inhibited by colloidal silver at 24.58 ppm concentration, while Salmonell typhi and Staphylococcus aureus were inhibited at 23.75 ppm and 13.85 ppm concentrations
respectively.
Other pathogens, including E. coli, were inhibited at between 10.63 and 7.71 ppm
concentrations of colloidal silver.
The researchers further concluded:
“The
antibacterial form of silver is the ions. Minute sub-particles [of nanosilver –
ED] continuously emit a sufficient number of positively charged ions.
These destroy the enzymes
of the bacteria, destabilize the cell membrane, the cell plasma or the cell
wall and prevent their reproduction. The bacteria do not survive this
concentrated attack.”
The researchers also concluded that “The results…indicated that Nano Colloidal
Silver’s antibacterial effect is independent of acquisition of resistance by
the bacteria against antibiotic drugs and thus be a potential antimicrobial
agent to be used.”
In other words, the nanosilver worked fabulously even
against food poisoning pathogens that have developed resistance to antibiotic
drugs.
Finally, in a study titled “Silver as Antibacterial
Toward Listeria monocytogenes,” published in Frontiers in Microbiology in March 2016, researchers from the
Department of Food Safety at the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle
Venezie in Legnaro, Italy wrote:
“Listeria monocytogenes is
a serious food-borne pathogen that can contaminate food during processing and
can grow during food shelf-life.
New
types of safe and effective food contact materials embedding antimicrobial
agents, like silver, can play an important role in the food industry.
…In
this context, the development of new types of safe and effective food contact materials
able to extend the shelf life of food products or to prevent cross
contamination is of great interest.
Among
different chemicals with antimicrobial activity, silver is considered as a good
candidate, as it is known to exert antimicrobial properties toward both Gram
positive and Gram negative bacteria
In the study, 20 different strains of Listeria
monocytogens were tested. The researchers
concluded that the silver was effective against all 20 strains:
“This
study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of silver in ionic and nano form
as antimicrobial toward a panel of L.
monocytogenes isolates.
The
results obtained showed that both chemical forms of silver exerted
antimicrobial activity and should, therefore, be considered as suitable to be
used as biocide against L.
monocytogenes.
… The
relation between the sensitivity assay and the amount of ions at the tested
time points, in both cases (AgNPs and AgNO3) suggests that ions are
the more effective elements exerting antibacterial activity.
… Our study suggests that L. monocytogenes is sensitive to
silver and that the efficacy is linked to ionic release.
We speculate that
silver-based food contact materials could play a useful role in the food
industry, perhaps to reduce surface contamination, or eventually, to prolong
shelf life.”
In
short, the researchers urged members of the food processing industry to look
into using colloidal silver as an effective biocide against the Listeria monocytogenes food-poisoning pathogen.

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. But
it can be extremely expensive.
In
fact, because it works so well against numerous forms of infection and disease,
colloidal silver has one of the highest price mark-ups of any nutritional supplement in
existence.
The
amount of actual infection-fighting silver in a 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
about 60,000%, charging a whopping $20 or $30 per tiny four-ounce bottle.
People are
willing to pay through the nose for colloidal silver at health food
stores because it heals infections and stops the spread of germs and disease
faster and better than anything else on the planet. And because it’s
safe and completely natural, to boot!
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:
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 literally pays for the entire cost of
your new generator!
Do you
know of any other health product that literally pays for itself the
very first time you use it? The
savings are absolutely astonishing!
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, and 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 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 between 200 nm to
1,000 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% 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 your brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver
Edge!
Customer
Testimonials
Here’s
what one customer recently wrote to tell us about her own personal bout with
food poisoning, and how owning a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from
The Silver Edge saved the day for her:
“I can attest to the miracle of
colloidal silver. I got food poisoning Friday night. Woke up Saturday at
1am with horrible stomach cramps and frightening diarrhea.
I make my own silver with the machine I purchased from The Silver Edge. I
immediately started taking about one ounce of 10 ppm micro-particle colloidal
silver every 1/2 hour. By morning 8:00am, I could tell it was over. I truly
believe that if I had not started taking it when I did, I would have ended up
in the hospital!
I think EVERYONE should own one of your generators!!! Mine has seen me through
many health issues in the 3 years I've had it!
Thank you Steve for making this machine available to all of us, and I wouldn't
take a million dollars for my machine.
I use the silver for absolutely
everything, from disinfecting my house, to adding it to my baths, and lotions
and dishwasher.
All my children use it, as well
as my grandkids to help ward off those nasty winter flues...God Bless!”
-- Jennifer F., New Franklin, MO
In the
following testimonial, a reader explains how he used colloidal silver to knock
out a nasty case of food poisoning in about four hours:
“My girlfriend and I developed either a bad case of stomach
flu and/or food poisoning not to long after our Valentine’s Day dinner.
Unfortunately she wasn't able to keep anything down at all,
including the colloidal silver. As for me, I immediately began taking about an
ounce of colloidal silver every half hour. Within about 4 hours of this routine
I was feeling in the "clear" zone.
I thought for certain that I'd be reaching the point of no return and rushing
to the bathroom. Thank God this didn't occur. By the very next day I'd say I
was feeling about 95% better.
I'm very thankful for this wonderful natural substance and for having had
purchased the Micro-Particle
Colloidal Silver Generator and having it arrive just in perfect timing
to assist in overcoming this obstacle.
This actually makes the 2nd time in this year I've used colloidal silver
against a stomach bug. Previously I had used a commercial store bought brand
and that time I only suffered for about 24 hours while my family battled it for
over a week. They listen closely now when I mention using colloidal silver.”
-- Phillip P., Gettysburg, PA
The bottom line is that literally thousands of
people worldwide have found dramatic relief from food poisoning symptoms simply
by taking colloidal silver at the very first signs of food poisoning onset.
Another
happy Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator user wrote to tell us how many
different ways around the house she’s been able to use colloidal silver, now
that she can make it herself for just a few pennies per quart:
“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 only costs a few pennies
per quart to make! It is
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 mine 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 -- disinfecting the kitchen sinks,
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 my
linens, towels and kitchen rags, so I don't have to wash them as frequently. It
really keeps them fresh, and 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 too. 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 problems.
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
And
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!"
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!
Here’s the breakdown of our costs to make a full quart of
colloidal silver with our Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator:
It costs us about a dollar for a gallon of steam-distilled
water at Walmart. So a quart of the steam-distilled water costs about 25 cents.
And I estimate we use maybe a nickel's worth of electricity
and maybe another nickel’s worth of silver from the silver rods for every
one-quart batch of colloidal silver we make. So that’s 35 cents a quart, all
told, for each quart of micro-particle colloidal silver we make!
And frankly, considering how long the .999 fine silver rods
have lasted (over a year and a half, so far, for the most recent set), I think
it’s probably even cheaper than that. But it’s the lifetime savings
we’ve experienced that’s just mind-boggling to me.
For example, we've had our Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
unit for nearly five years now. And as I mentioned we make one quart per week,
and we spend about 35 cents a week on making colloidal silver.
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 five years 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 is legitimately well over $11,000
a year over 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.
In their advertising literature, the company says the unit
completely pays for itself after your first couple of one-quart batches. But
really, that’s quite an understatement when you realize the true extent of your
savings!
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 is nevertheless
astonishing when you reflect on it.
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
