Dr. Oz Endorses Colloidal Silver, TV Show Alcatraz Features It, Rap Song Memorializes It

Has hell frozen over? Is colloidal silver finally going mainstream?  Since the first of the year, Dr. Oz has endorsed colloidal silver as a sore throat remedy, and the hit television show Alcatraz has featured it for its powerful immune-boosting and anti-aging properties. 

And now it turns out that a hit 2008 rap song by RZA also memorializes its immune-boosting and anti-viral properties!  What next?  I guess it was too much to expect colloidal silver to be mentioned on the final episode of the hit TV medical drama House.  But if we’re lucky, maybe it will be featured in an upcoming episode of Grey’s Anatomy…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...

You might remember that it was Dr. Oz back in 2008 on The Oprah Show who decried the use of colloidal silver as “old-fashioned,” and said it was an “out-of-date” remedy that’s potentially dangerous. 

That was when Oprah was interviewing Paul Karason, the so-called “colloidal silver blue man,” who had contracted a bad case of argyria by drinking excessive daily quantities of highly-concentrated colloidal silver for years on end. 

So it was quite a surprise to hear that on the February 9, 2012 broadcast of Dr. Oz’ new show, called appropriately The Dr. Oz Show, he actually endorsed the use of colloidal silver.

Apparently, while taking questions from the audience, a lady named Mary from Canada told Dr Oz that she constantly got sore throats during cold season, but found that the throat lozenges she took were not very helpful. 

Dr. Oz then stated that throat lozenges often don’t work because they don’t address the root cause of the sore throat, which of course is bacteria or viruses. 

He then went on to explain that colloidal silver can be used as an effective sore throat remedy.  According to Dr. Oz, you just spray it into your mouth and use it as a gargle, taking as much as one teaspoonful, two or three times a day!

No Drug Company Influence

So how can we account for Dr. Oz’ positive turnabout on colloidal silver? 

Easy. His new show is largely about natural healing, and it doesn’t have all of the drug company advertising Oprah’s show had. So he can pretty much say whatever he wants. 

You might remember the article I wrote back on February 20, 2008 titled, Why Oprah Can’t Put a Responsible Colloidal Silver Advocate on Her Show, in which I explained that television celebrities like Oprah have only limited control over which guests they can have on their shows, or what they can say on their shows.  And it’s often the advertisers that set those limits. 

After all, if a pharmaceutical company is paying you a million dollars to run his drug ads during your TV show, and you’re bringing on guests telling your audience to use a natural substance instead of drugs, that advertiser isn’t going to stick around very long. And he’s going to take his advertising dollars with him.

So I’m glad to see that Dr. Oz has apparently left the dark side (hopefully, for good) and is now telling the truth about nutritional supplements like colloidal silver.  After all, it’s pretty powerful testimony when the Vice-Chair of the Department of Surgery at Columbia University comes out in favor of colloidal silver usage!

Testimonial From Dr. Oz Fan

By the way, here’s a testimonial I found online from a died-in-the-wool Dr. Oz fan who apparently took his advice and tried colloidal silver as a spray to treat a sinus infection: 

“I decided to try colloidal silver nasal spray after suffering from a sinus infection/cold for over two weeks.

I happened to be watching the Dr. Oz show and he was discussing his remedies for the common cold. As I am not one to try drugs I was happy to see him discussing items like pineapple for congestion and capsaicin spray for sinus headache.

When he got to colloidal silver I was convinced to try it. I feel Dr. Oz is more conservative than many doctors I trust, but more progressive than most mainstream doctors.  And if he used it himself then I probably could use it successfully, too.

I bought the colloidal silver nasal spray this weekend and have used it conservatively for the past two days. I noticed a difference almost immediately and slept throughout the night without congestion; something I had not been able to do for weeks.

I will continue to use the spray for the next day or two making sure to use the lowest dose. I think colloidal silver nasal spray has received a thumbs-up from me.”

Sweet!  Another convert to colloidal silver…and in this case it’s all thanks to Dr. Oz! 

(For anyone interested, here’s an article about four effective ways to use colloidal silver to knock out pesky sinus infections.  And here’s an article about how to use colloidal silver to heal eye infections.)

Colloidal Silver, Alcatraz and Immune Blood?

Not only was colloidal silver featured on Dr. Oz, but it was also featured in the March 5, 2012 “Sonny Burnett” episode of the hit TV series Alcatraz, starring Sam Neil, Sarah Jones, Leon Rippy and a host of great character actors. 

The show is about investigators from a secret government agency tasked with capturing 302 prisoners who had mysteriously disappeared from Alcatraz Island prison back in 1963, and then began resurfacing in the present day to wreak murderous havoc on society. 

More importantly, many of these prisoners – a handful of which have recently been re-captured or killed by the investigators -- appear to have defied all signs of aging, and to be immune to all illness, in spite of having been missing for over four decades!

In this particular episode, investigator Emerson Hauser, who heads up the secret agency working to re-capture the prisoners, is working closely with Dr. Milton Beauregard, a doctor who was employed at Alcatraz during the 1963 prisoner disappearance. 

Dr. Beauregard explains to investigator Hauser that the reason some of the prisoners now appear to enjoy dramatically heightened immunity and lack of aging, is that they had received experimental infusions of blood that had been treated with colloidal silver during their stay in Alcatraz back in 1963. 

Here’s an interesting tidbit from the dialogue:

Dr. Beauregard:  You remember when you brought in Mr. Cobb? The injury he sustained to his hand?

Hauser:  I shot him. 

Dr. Beauregard:  An injury of that nature should take months to fully heal. Cobb’s took weeks.

Hauser:  What are you saying?

Dr. Beauregard:  Well, the 63’s you’ve been rounding up, they’re all in perfect health. And I mean straight from God’s own factory floor. Any ailments they used to have are now gone.

Hauser:  How?

Dr. Beauregard:  Well, in addition to plasma and platelets, their blood contains a third interloper: colloidal silver, which has been known to have healing properties going back to Hippocrates.

Hauser:  Is that what you were doing on Alcatraz?

Dr. Beauregard:  Well, I merely decanted the vital fluid from the prisoners, sir.  What became of it after, God and the warden only know.  But here they are, with blood that seems to keep their murderous bodies in tip-top shape.  Blood that could be transfused into a less than healthy body.

It’s In the Blood

In short, the prison inmates infused with the colloidal silver-treated blood now show up some 40 years later in perfect health and without having aged. 

What’s more, in a follow-up episode of the show, when one of the prisoners is captured, a sample of his colloidal silver-infused blood is taken.  And afterwards it’s given intravenously to comatose patient, Dr. Lucy Banerjee, a former Alcatraz psychiatrist who had been shot in the chest while working to help investigator Hauser recover the prisoners.

Though she was on her death bed, the colloidal silver-infused blood brings her out of her coma and restores her to perfect health, after which she re-joins Hauser and helps him catch another one of the prisoners!

(Whew!  Did you get all of that?  If the show sounds a bit like a combination between a daytime TV soap opera, a nighttime TV prison drama and a slightly exaggerated medical drama, that’s because it is!) 

So now we have two recent TV shows, The Dr. Oz Show, and Alcatraz, both in their own unique ways bringing knowledge of colloidal silver’s powerful immune-boosting and infection-fighting properties to the general public!  What more could you ask for?

Rappers for Colloidal Silver?

Well, hold on to your hat because it only gets better!

A few short weeks after the airing of those two shows, I received an email from a member of the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community on Facebook explaining that one of his favorite recording artists had recorded a song that prominently mentions colloidal silver and its powerful antiviral and immune-boosting properties. 

The rap song is by RZA, also known as Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, the famous Wu-Tang Clan member who is also a Grammy award-winning music producer, multi-instrumentalist, author, emcee, and occasional actor, director, and screenwriter.  The name of his song is Try Ya Ya Ya.  Here’s a peek at the relevant lyrics:

Sip colloidal silver, immune cells get fed

Deflecting viruses, I'm overcoming biases

True lion of Judah, bout to reclaim the lioness

Devil expiration date, time to set the nation straight

You should pay attention to the words I articulate

Okay then…there you have it!  Colloidal silver recommended by Dr. Oz…featured on the hit show Alcatraz…and memorialized in a popular rap song by a Grammy award-winning music producer, singer and actor. 

What’s Going On Here?

So what’s going on here?  Is colloidal silver going mainstream?

Well, I wouldn't count on it…at least, not yet.  Indeed, I notice that most other news and entertainment websites that have covered the mentions of colloidal silver on The Dr. Oz Show and on Alcatraz have spouted the same tired old canards about colloidal silver usage being "dangerous," "unproven" and "risky".

And of course, anytime colloidal silver is touted as a "cure all" in the mainstream media, it plays right into the hands of the FDA and the EPA, as well as the so-called “quackbusters” and "skeptics" who are always looking for reasons to denigrate its very real healing qualities by painting it as a modern-day version of "snake oil." 

So in spite of the sensationalistic way a TV drama might portray colloidal silver, we have to be careful to stick to the medical and scientific evidence for it, and continue to work to educate people as best we can to the facts about this most astonishing natural healing substance.  

Nevertheless, it’s definitely exciting to see colloidal silver making these kinds of inroads into popular culture.  And I certainly hope to see more of it.  We’ll correct the misconceptions and deal with the naysayers as the situations arise. 

True Blood and Colloidal Silver

In case you’ve forgotten, it was only two years ago that colloidal silver was mentioned prominently in the hit TV series True Blood. 

And to the best of my knowledge it hasn’t been mentioned on TV since that time, until this year. 

So maybe two big mainstream media mentions in the first half of 2012 bodes well for more people waking up to the powerful immune-boosting and infection-fighting qualities of the world’s most powerful natural antibiotic, colloidal silver!

Indeed, maybe next we’ll hear colloidal silver being featured on the ABC medical drama, Private Practice, or NBC’s new upcoming hospital drama Saving Hope!

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible use of colloidal silver,

P.S. I failed to mention that in the hit summer movie, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, honest Abe's secret weapon against the vampires was -- drum roll, please -- silver! I don't want to spoil the movie, so I won't give any more details. But if you enjoy a good, old-fashioned vampire yarn as much as I do, be sure to check this movie out!

Why Oprah Can’t Put a Responsible Colloidal Silver Advocate on Her Show

Ever since Oprah featured the so-called colloidal silver “blue man” on her show, a number of people have written to ask me why I haven’t contacted Oprah and asked to be allowed to go on her show in order to give the “other side of the story,” so to speak, about colloidal silver and its many benefits.

You can rest assured, I certainly will be sending her a copy of my new 500-page book, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual (soon to be published by Life & Health Research Group, Inc.) along with a request to go on her show and set the record straight on colloidal silver usage.

However, I don’t expect to hear back from her. As well-meaning as Oprah may be, and as much as she may want to host a fair and balanced television show, the decision over whether or not to have a responsible and articulate colloidal silver advocate on her show is really out of her hands.

Limited Control

Why? You may not realize this, but television celebrities have only limited control over which guests they can have on their shows. They have even less control over what can be said on their shows. The truth is, in many cases a television show’s commercial sponsors (i.e., the companies who run their expensive commercial advertisements on the show) have more sway over the show’s contents than the host of the show does.

That’s because these big advertisers spend tens of millions of dollars annually to run their product advertising on those shows. And it is those millions of dollars in advertising revenues that pay the bills for the show.

Oprah’s salary, for example, is paid out of that advertising revenue. The broadcast time for the show is purchased from the major networks with that advertising revenue. The expensive sets and props are paid for with that advertising revenue. Transportation costs and lodging for all of her guests are paid for out of that advertising revenue. All of Oprah’s “giveaways” (free cars, anyone?) are paid for with that advertising revenue.

In short, that ad revenue pays for everything. Without it, the show could not be broadcast. So there is no way on earth the show’s producers are going to allow anyone or anything on that show if it conflicts with the message the show’s advertisers are trying to impart to its vast television audience. Mainstream America is only allowed to hear what the show’s advertisers want them to hear.

Sponsored by Prescription Drug Ads

The bottom line is that a good portion of all major network television programs are sponsored, at least in part, by prescription drug advertising. So there is no way Oprah or any of the other popular television shows the so-called “blue man” has appeared on recently can feature people on their shows who will stand up and present evidence demonstrating the fact that colloidal silver is frequently more effective, and actually much better for your health and well-being, than prescription antibiotic drugs.

Even if I were to offer to give away free colloidal silver generators to everyone in Oprah’s audience, or free copies of my new Colloidal Silver Secrets video (http://www.lifeandhealthresearchgroup.com/), I’d never get on that show.

Why? Because if a responsible and articulate colloidal silver advocate were allowed on her show, a good portion of her commercial sponsors (i.e., any drug company sponsors) would drop her show in a heartbeat. They simply would not stand still for anyone to appear on the show and discuss, for example, the four latest clinical studies proving that colloidal silver kills the deadly antibiotic MRSA infections.

In short, they would not allow anyone to appear on that show and point out that a safe, natural alternative to prescription antibiotic drugs exists, and that it can be made for 36 cents a quart, in the comfort and privacy of your own home with a tiny device called a colloidal silver generator, and that it can heal deadly infections better than many prescription drugs.

How I Learned “He Who Pays the Bills Makes the Rules”

When I was a young freelance writer just starting my career about 30 years ago, I wrote a magazine article for new parents on how to make your own baby food at a fraction of the cost of commercially prepared baby foods. I interviewed experts for the article and learned everything there was to know about making safe, healthy baby food in your own kitchen, with a simple blender and a few other kitchen implements. And in my article, I explained that it would be ten times more nutritious to feed your baby healthy foods you had made yourself from scratch, than for the youngsters to be raised up on commercial preparations that are pumped full of sugar and salt and chemical preservatives.

When I finished the article, I sent it in “over the transom” (i.e., an old freelancer’s term meaning it was submitted without having been commissioned by any particular publication) to the ten largest magazines covering the subjects of new mothers, raising babies, and parenthood in general. And my article was quickly rejected by all ten magazines.

Fortunately, one of the editors who had rejected my article wrote back complimenting it very highly. She stated that if I wanted to submit additional articles to her magazine on topics that didn’t conflict with the magazine’s commercial advertising sponsors I should feel free to do so, as she liked my writing style a lot, and she appreciated the depth of information I provided.

I wrote back and asked her, “What do you mean when you say I should submit articles that don’t “conflict with your magazine’s commercial advertising sponsors?” And this kind editor responded by telling me to get a copy of her magazine, and go through it very carefully looking at all of the advertisements. So I did. And I found that a good 30-40% of the ads in that magazine were for commercially prepared baby foods, such as Gerber’s. I was slowly beginning to understand why these magazines had rejected my article on how to make your own baby food.

She further explained that her magazine made millions of dollars a year in advertising revenue by running those advertisements for companies that manufacture and sell commercially prepared baby foods. And she revealed that it was the money made from those advertisements that paid everybody’s salaries at the magazine, and allowed them to have nice offices and perks, and occasional pay raises, etc. So the magazine simply could not print any articles that would conflict with their commercial advertising sponsors, or they would risk losing the sponsors, and thus losing all of that money.

That’s why my “how to make your own baby food” article was rejected by every single parenting magazine I submitted it to. Even though the article was well-written and informative, and the readers of the magazine would have benefited greatly from learning how simple it is to make your own baby food at a fraction of the cost of commercially prepared baby foods, no magazine wanted to incur the wrath of even one of their advertising sponsors by publishing it.

It is Exactly the Same With TV Shows And Television Networks

Unfortunately, it’s pretty much exactly the same with television shows and their networks. It is the commercial sponsors of the shows – i.e., the advertisers -- who have the real power to decide what can be broadcast, and what can’t.

For example, we all think Oprah decides who is going to be on her shows. But that is only true to a certain extent. She can have any guest she wants, as long as that guest’s basic message does not conflict with the messages being promoted by her commercial advertising sponsors (such as drug companies).

If Oprah, or any other big television star for that matter, rebelled against an advertising sponsor and did a show on a topic that might cause one of them to suffer loss of sales from their advertisements, that sponsor would in turn pull millions of dollars worth of advertising revenue away from the show, and give it to some other competing show that is more willing to “play ball,” so to speak.

Another Dirty Little Secret

Another dirty little secret most people don’t realize is that from time to time, commercial advertisers strongly “suggest” to a show’s producer that a certain story needs to be covered.

In other words, if there’s a story that would benefit a commercial advertiser, that story is brought to the attention of the show’s producer. And the show’s producer is, shall we say, persuaded to run that story.

You can bet your bottom dollar the show’s producer is going to do whatever it takes to please the advertiser. If there is any way possible, the story being “suggested” by the advertiser will be run. And the slant given to that story will be designed to bring maximum benefit to the commercial advertiser, who, of course, will be running his commercial advertisements during the breaks while that highly beneficial story is airing.

Now, Simply Follow the Money

So when people ask me, “Why are all of these big network shows, like Oprah and the Today Show, and others, running this blue man story?” I answer very simply, “Follow the money.”

Or better stated, ask yourself “Cuo bono?” (i.e., Who benefits?).

The blue man story is beneficial to absolutely no one but the major drug companies. Why? Because this story makes colloidal silver look bad. It frightens the average mainstream American away from using it.

After all, colloidal silver is one of the main all-natural competitors to the prescription antibiotic drugs being produced by the major pharmaceutical companies. And big pharma is not about to allow a substance that can be made for 36 cents a quart with a simple home colloidal silver generator interfere with the sales of their expensive prescription antibiotic drugs.

The manufacturing and sales of prescription antibiotic drugs is a multi-billion dollar per year business. And the big drug companies are not going to let anything get in the way of those kinds of profits.

Drug Companies on the Ropes?

The reality is this: the big drug companies are reeling from the effects of a long string of medical journal reports revealing that their prescription antibiotic drugs are no longer working against even some of the most common pathogens, such as staph.

Thirty years ago, for example, it took very little penicillin to kill a serious staph infection. Then the staph germ began to mutate, and started becoming resistant to penicillin. Soon, it took many times the normal dosage of penicillin to kill a serious staph infection. And now, penicillin no longer works at all against staph.

So the drug companies had to come up with stronger forms of penicillin, which they called ampicillin and amoxcillin. And both of these worked great against the mutating microbes, for awhile. But now these drugs too are becoming increasingly ineffective against many microbes, including staph.

In fact, today, even the strongest form of penicillin – methicillin – is losing the battle against staph. That’s what all the talk in the medical journals regarding the deadly MRSA infections is about. You see, MRSA stands for “methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureaus.” In short, even powerful methicillin can’t kill these deadly staph infections any longer. Tens of thousands of people are now dying of these infections annually. In fact, annual deaths from MRSA infections recently surpassed annual deaths from AIDS infections! And the drug companies are scared.

One More Big Problem for the Big Drug Companies

On the other hand, four recent clinical studies have demonstrated that certain forms of silver -- including colloidal silver -- absolutely slaughters staph. Even the deadly methicillin-resistant form (MRSA) is killed by silver!

You can read about these four studies by looking through the Blog Archive on this page and finding my previous article titled, “Colloidal Silver Cures MRSA Infections.”

What’s more, these new clinical studies have demonstrated that silver kills a number of other antibiotic-resistant pathogens too!

The drug companies are well aware of the fact that over the past 20 years colloidal silver has gone from being a fringe “nutritional supplement” used by a relatively small handful of people across North America, to a major powerhouse of a supplement with an estimated 10 million users across North America.

In short, people are flocking to colloidal silver usage in droves, and walking away from antibiotic usage, particularly as antibiotics continue to lose their power over a wider and wider number of deadly pathogens.

Think Blue Man “Freak Show”

That’s why the corporate-controlled media is now playing up the so-called colloidal silver “blue man” story. And that’s why even Oprah has had to feature him on her show, along with the Today Show and a half a dozen other shows from the major networks.

They are parading the poor guy around like a carnival sideshow freak. And in his zeal to gain his 15 minutes of fame, he seems to be oblivious to the fact that he is being used.

The major drug company advertisers on these television networks have insisted that the blue man be trotted out over and over again, on every network. They want mainstream America to think “freak show” any time they hear about colloidal silver.

The bottom line is that they want to bring to a screeching halt the explosive growth in the sales of colloidal silver. But only time will tell whether their “blue man” strategy is working.

Make Your Own High-Quality Colloidal Silver for Pennies

If you can see the handwriting on the wall, then you know this is all part of a larger campaign to eventually ban the sale of colloidal silver – a campaign that started back in 1999 when the FDA wrote their notorious “Final Ruling” on colloidal silver, which in effect stopped distributors from telling their customers about the profound infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver.

Distributors of colloidal silver products had to remove phrases such as “natural antibiotic” or “infection-fighting agent” from their labeling. And the FDA has since that time even extended the ban to conventional advertising, issuing threatening “compliance” letters to colloidal silver vendors who dare mention the infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver in print advertisements or on the internet.

What’s more, only recently, Health Canada, the Canadian equivalent of the FDA, began a campaign designed to take colloidal silver off the market in that country. And the FDA is beginning to make noises about re-visiting their 1999 “Final Ruling” to see if its strictures against telling Americans about the infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver need to be toughened even further.

That’s why I urge you to put the means of colloidal silver production into your own hands by getting a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator today. With a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, you’ll be able to make all of the colloidal silver you want, any time you want, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for about 36 cents a quart.

You’ll never again have to pay exorbitant prices for bottled colloidal silver from health food stores and internet vendors. And when the FDA finally tightens the noose on colloidal silver vendors, you won’t be affected in the least.

Why? Because when you own the means of colloidal silver production, you own it for life. You can make gallons and gallons of the stuff. And you can make it so inexpensively, you can literally afford to give it away to sick neighbors, friends, co-workers, church members, or whoever is in need. (Many of our customers do exactly that. We even have customers who are missionaries operating in the deepest reaches of South America and Africa, who have selflessly dedicated their lives to helping heal thousands of natives of serious infections. And they are able to do so because our line of high-quality colloidal silver generators allows them to produce all of the colloidal silver they could ever need, any time they need it.)

You see, the colloidal silver generator represents one of the last bastions of freedom against governmental interference in the colloidal silver marketplace, and particularly against government interference in your right to make your own decisions about your personal and family health care issues.

I urge you to check out the web site at http://www.thesilveredge.com/ and read our story.

Then check out our entire line of high-quality home colloidal silver generators, and choose the one that suits your needs the most.

The Colloidal Silver Blue Man and Argyria, Revisited

The Colloidal Silver Blue Man and Argyria, Revisited

This article on the so-called “blue man” by the good folks at SOTA Instruments just goes to show that what I have been saying all along about colloidal silver is true: the key to safe and sane colloidal silver usage is in the dosage.

According to the article, the so-called "blue man" was apparently taking upwards of 20 ounces a day, and at one point was adding baking soda and/or salt to increase the concentration. Yes, apparently for years on end. This is WAY too much colloidal silver to be taking daily, for such long periods of time.

In my opinion, this kind of reckless colloidal silver usage is the direct result of all of the colloidal silver web site operators out there claiming that it is impossible to contract argyria from "properly made colloidal silver," and that you can drink all you want and never have any side effects. But the truth is, it is strictly a matter of ingesting more mineral silver on a regular basis than the liver and kidneys can expel. If you drink more colloidal silver than your normal channels of elimination can handle, your body will store the excess silver, and, over time, will push it out to your skin, which is your third major organ of elimination. And when the sun hits it, it will "tarnish" your skin.

Using colloidal silver with in MODERATION and with common sense is the key. Just like mother used to say, "All things in moderation." We all know this, almost innately. Yet for some reason when it comes to colloidal silver usage some people become absolutely obsessed with the idea that more is always better. They seem to think that if an ounce a day is helpful, then 16 or 20 ounces a day must be incredibly helpful. It amazes me, because these same people probably take a daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement, and they have probably received significant benefit from it. Yet they wouldn't think of taking the whole bottle of vitamins and minerals every day. Common sense alone would tell you that there will be significant problems if you take such an excessive amount of vitamins on a daily basis. Yet it never occurs to them that drinking 16 to 20 ounces a day of colloidal silver for weeks, months or even years on end is excessive.

Again, I believe this is because of the plethora of misleading information that can be found on the internet. One well-known colloidal silver advocate used to write that when colloidal silver doesn't work for you, the problem is not that it didn't work, but that you simply aren’t taking enough. How could he possibly know this? He advocated taking as much as 16 ounces a day or more. When I interviewed him at a health show about eight years ago, he bragged about drinking a half a gallon of colloidal silver the night before. Interestingly, after reports surfaced that his advice had caused at least two people to contract argyria, his web site disappeared from the internet. He apparently took it down. He has apparently also moved out of the country. But a number of colloidal silver vendors continue to post his articles to their web sites, advocating these unnecessary and excessively high levels of daily colloidal silver intake.

I have been a long-time dedicated user of colloidal silver, ever since it helped save my wife's toes from amputation nearly 13 years ago, and helped me resolve a long-standing case of chronic fatigue syndrome that would frequently leave me debilitated for weeks and sometimes even months every year. So please don't mistake what I am saying here as being negative toward colloidal silver. What I am negative toward is misleading information about colloidal silver dosage.

The bottom line is that we have to keep all of this in perspective. There are many other beneficial all-natural substances out there that can cause harm in excessive dosages, yet we don't eschew the use of these substances. We just take them in moderation and with common sense, in order to take advantage of their healing benefits.

As I stated in a previous blog entry:

You've got to realize that there is no substance on earth that does not have very real side effects when used in excess. For example:

• Sugar: Diabetes, pancreatitis and heart disease are very real side effects of excessive usage of sugar.


• Iron: Cirrhosis of the liver and heart failure are very real side effects of the excessive usage of iron supplements.


• Calcium: Kidney malfunction, calcification of soft tissue within the body, cellular toxicity and impaired immune function are very real side effects of excess usage of calcium.


• Vitamin A: Muscle pain, fatigue, irritability, depression, schizophrenia, fever, liver damage and anemia are very real side effects of the excessive usage of Vitamin A.


• Water: What's more, DEATH is a very real side effect of the excessive usage of...water (it's called "drowning").

None of those side effects justify being afraid to use the substances mentioned. Why? Because the key phrase involved in each one is "excessive use." When used in moderation, these substances are not only benign, but helpful. When used in excess, they can cause serious health consequences.

It is exactly the same with colloidal silver. If you use it in moderation it is completely harmless, and in fact extremely beneficial for boosting immunity and warding off infections of all sorts. It even helps the body heal from chronic degenerative diseases such as lupus, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease and a host of others that often are caused by underlying hidden infections.

But if used in excess daily over long periods of time, the result can be argyria, or skin-staining. It is a harmless, but cosmetically unappealing condition resulting from silver particles being pushed to the skin (the body's third major organ of elimination) at which point they oxidize (or tarnish) from exposure to the sun.

Out of the estimated 10 million users of colloidal silver throughout North America, only a very small handful have been naive, ignorant or ill-informed enough to take such excessive quantities over such long periods of time to result in skin-staining. It is ridiculous to blame the substance for the misuse by the person. That's kind of like saying water is terrible for you because several thousand people a year die in it due to drowning.
