One of the true heroes of the natural health
movement, Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., has been a staunch advocate of the safe,
sane and responsible use of colloidal silver for decades.
Here’s what he’s said in the past about the
world’s most powerful natural infection-fighting agent and it’s often
astonishing healing properties…
Hi, Steve
Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
Harvard-educated
and best-selling author Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D. has been a strong advocate of
colloidal silver usage for decades.
One of
the heroes of the natural health movement, Dr. Wright has faced down armed
government thugs raiding his clinic…gradually beat back the FDA itself which
spent over $1 million intimidating, harassing and persecuting him for using
natural remedies in his clinic…and stood firmly against the Washington State
Medical Board when they tried to revoke his license on spurious charges.
Like many
of the pioneers of natural healing, he’s also faced a torrent of online hate
from the so-called “skeptics” and “quack watcher” groups. But each time he’s
prevailed against his detractors and has continued to help his patients learn
how to restore their own health naturally.
Now 70
years old, Dr. Wright continues to practice medicine from his famous Tahoma Clinic in Tukwila, Washington
(founded in 1973), from which he also writes a monthly newsletter called Nutrition
& Healing that thousands of natural health-oriented Americans
depend upon for his latest updates and insights into natural healing.
Dr.
Wright is one of the most respected of all natural health care pioneers. In 2001 he received the Linus Pauling Award
from the Society for Orthomolecular Health-Medicine. And in 2012 he was inducted into the
Orthomolecular Hall of Fame by the International Society of Orthomolecular
Medicine, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to orthomolecular
medicine over the years.
According
to the Alliance for Natural Health, “Dr.
Wright is a champion of natural medicine. He has developed innovative and
successful natural therapies utilizing food, supplements, and lifestyle changes
for a host of maladies that conventional medicine cannot cure.”
And
according to Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com, “Dr. Wright is not only one of the best-informed practitioners in
natural health, he's also a health freedom pioneer who has fought on the front
lines to protect your access to nutritional supplements.”
Dr. Wright on Colloidal Silver
Over the
years, Dr. Wright has been a vociferous advocate of the safe, sane and
responsible usage of colloidal silver. As
he wrote in an article
titled Singing Silver’s Praises:
“I’ve worked with colloidal silver since its ‘revival’ in the 1980s and
have found it to be very effective at fighting infections of all types — bacterial,
viral, and fungal.
In fact, its effects are so strong that I believe silver could be
the key to fighting the antibiotic-resistant ‘super bugs’ that have become such
a problem in recent years.”
In
another article
by Dr. Wright, titled Stop the
Super-Germs in their Tracks With One Powerful Silver Bullet, he went on to
say:
“MRSA. SARS. Avian flu. These and other big-time bugs called ‘super-germs’
are making headlines almost on a daily basis.
People are scared, and rightly so. Super-germs mutate so quickly
that antibiotics are virtually useless against them: As soon as an effective
one is created, the germ mutates, and the antibiotic becomes obsolete. The same
is true of many vaccines.
But there's no need to feel defenseless because these mutating
germs have finally met their match. And it's been right under our noses all
along. It's colloidal silver.”
In an article
titled Will Europe’s Deadly Outbreak
Reach Your Family, Dr. Wright emphasized the importance of colloidal silver
in dealing with disease-causing “food poisoning” pathogens:
“Colloidal silver has been used to cure otherwise fatal infections for
over 100 years in the United States.
It may have fallen out of favor with the introduction of
germ-fighting patent medications, but it’s just as effective today as it ever
was (and MORE effective than those drugs, over which ‘superbugs’ are
triumphing.)
Silver attacks germs in three different ways, destroying them from
the inside out. It’s a great idea to have this stuff on hand in case of infection.
Just be sure to stop using it once the infection is gone. Check
with your doctor about the right regimen for you.”
In
another article,
titled What to Take at the First Sign of
a Cold, Dr. Wright emphasized the importance of using very small particle
size colloidal silver in order to maximize its germ-killing qualities:
“Next to vitamin C, one of the most effective germ- and
infection-fighting treatments available is something that I covered in detail
in the September 2006 issue of Nutrition & Healing.
You might recognize it by its more common name, colloidal silver,
but I prefer to use a slightly more technical name, nano-particulate silver.
The nano-particulate part is very important because the smaller
the particle size of the silver, the greater the germicidal effect.
At the first sign of a cold, use 1 tablespoonful to start, and
then continue to take 1 teaspoonful on an empty stomach every 3 to 4 hours
while you’re awake, until the infection is gone.”
In an article
titled The Dental Use for Silver You
Haven’t Heard About, Dr. Wright stated:
“Colloidal silver isn’t just an alternative for antibiotics — it
actually offers even more protection.
Antibiotics only work against bacteria. But colloidal silver has
been found to be “germicidal” against a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, and
fungi.
And, unlike antibiotics, it doesn’t harm any of the beneficial
bacteria your body needs, since it’s mostly absorbed before it reaches the
large intestine, where the majority of normal (and other) microflora reside.
For people using colloidal silver prior to dental work, I generally
recommend taking 1 tablespoonful of a 40-60 part per million concentration an
hour before your anticipated dental work, and then 1 teaspoonful in another
four hours.
This should give you sufficient concentration of silver in your
bloodstream to help combat any germs “stirred up” by dental work.”
Dr.
Wright also emphasizes how safe and effective colloidal silver is when used
responsibly:
"Colloidal silver just might be the next germ-fighting wonder drug. And
not just for the serious threats making headlines: It's also effective against
bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and fungal
infections like Candida.
No matter how much a germ mutates, it can't change enough to
escape the damaging effects of colloidal silver. And in the process, the silver
doesn't harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in the intestine the
way antibiotics and other medications do."
Dr.
Wright also points out that colloidal silver has known antiviral properties
that are now being studied by clinical researchers. He says:
"A number of emerging medical studies confirm the antiviral properties
of silver ions both in the laboratory and in real human studies against some of
the most formidable viral organisms, including HIV and herpes.
A study in 1991 showed that both zinc and silver ions strongly
inhibited HIV infection. In 1993, the Washington Post cited laboratory tests
showing that a new Japanese silver ion powder actually destroyed both HIV and
herpes.
And when silver is tied to oxygen, it can actually electrocute the
germ -- which has turned out to be a powerful new way to destroy viruses."
What’s
more, Dr. Wright was one of the first to point out that clinical research
demonstrates colloidal silver to be highly anti-fungal, which of course is
great news for people suffering from Candida yeast infections as well as other
fungal infections. As he wrote:
"Beginning in the 1970s, several independent researchers found that
silver ions easily destroy Candida and other fungi.
But it wasn't until a pilot study during the mid- 1990s that
included human patients suffering from terminal AIDS that medical researchers
established solid evidence showing just how quick and effective silver ions can
be in the treatment of Candida as well as HIV.
In this study, nine individuals who were near death were divided
into two subgroups. One group suffered from HIV and a terrible Candida
infection. The other group suffered from both HIV and an extreme form of
malnutrition (known as Wasting Syndrome).
The researchers found that in both groups the colloidal silver was
capable of killing pathogens and purging the bloodstream of germ defenses in
order to restore the immune system."
Another
important point Dr. Wright emphasizes is that there are specific nutrients that
help the body more effectively process silver, including vitamin E, selenium
and N-acetyl-cysteine.
This is
particularly useful information for those times when larger-than-usual doses of
colloidal silver are necessary in order to aid the body in fighting an
infection. He writes:
"Silver belongs to the family of metals that also includes copper and
gold (both of which can also have numerous health benefits when they're used
properly).
One of the primary concerns people tend to have about using these
metals is the risk that they'll accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal
toxicity.
But if you have plenty of antioxidants in your diet, such as
selenium, vitamin E, and amino acids like N-acetyl cysteine, you're safe from
any harmful effects from this family of metals. Germs, however, are not."
Dr.
Wright does not recommend regular daily usage of colloidal silver, due to the remote
possibility of it causing argyria – the bluish-gray skin-staining that can take
place when large daily amounts of colloidal silver have been ingested over long
periods of time. He writes:
“You may have heard the horror stories of people turning a bluish-gray
color from taking silver.
Although this condition, called argyrism, is harmless, it’s
certainly not something you’d want to experience.
But don’t worry: Using colloidal silver periodically in short-
term situations will not cause argyrism.”
Finally, in
an article titled The Silver Solution for
What Ails You, Dr. Wright gives his own recommendation for using colloidal
silver against colds, flu or other infections:
“I usually recommend (for adults) 1 tablespoon of colloidal silver at a
40 ppm (parts per million) concentration at the very first signs of any infection
and 1-2 teaspoons three to four times daily until the infection is gone. Then
stop!
Children’s quantities should, of course, be less and related to
body weight. (For very small children, it’s always best to consult with a
physician skilled and knowledgeable in nutritional and natural medicine.)
No one who’s used colloidal silver in this manner has reported any
sign of bluish-gray skin. But to be on the safe side, you should work with a
physician skilled in natural medicine.”
Dr.
Wright also points out that you can use colloidal silver in conjunction with
other natural healing and infection-fighting substances, as long as you take
the colloidal silver separately from each other, on an empty stomach. He writes:
“You can use the silver treatment while taking other
anti-infection and immune-boosting agents, such as vitamin C, vitamin A,
Echinacea, and many others, but you shouldn't take them at the same time
because the silver absorbs best on an empty stomach.”
Those are just
a few of the highlights of what Dr. Wright has written in the past about the powerful
infection-fighting benefits of colloidal silver. I urge you to visit his website and become a follower of his
health and wellness advice, if you haven’t already.
