Colloidal Silver versus Cold and Flu Viruses

 Learn how to beat cold and flu with colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Here’s a brief review of some of the articles I’ve written over the past few years on how to use colloidal silver effectively during the cold and flu season, including how to use colloidal silver prophylactically to help prevent colds and flu infections altogether…how use colloidal silver to nip a suspected cold or flu bug in the bud before it fully gets started…and how to use colloidal silver to deal with a full-blown cold or flu infection. 

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for TheSilverEdge.com

As most experienced colloidal silver users realize, it’s often easier to stop a viral cold or flu infection before it really gets started than it is to stop it once it’s full-blown. 

As one colloidal silver user recently shared on the Colloidal Silver Secrets Community on Facebook:

“I am so grateful for colloidal silver and the antiviral properties!!

I work in the healthcare field and usually catch 2-3 nasty colds that turn into bronchitis/asthma. Since upping my preventative dose and doubling it during exposure, I have stopped 3 colds dead in their tracks!! 

I can feel the cold coming on with a sore throat and sinus irritation, and that is the only symptom I have experienced!

My family is quite amazed to watch this happen, and has started to follow in my footsteps when they feel a cold or whatever coming on!! Thank you, thank you...”

-- Jennifer D.

I agree with Jennifer that prophylactic use of colloidal silver – particularly during cold and flu season – is the most effective way to stave off a potential head cold or upper respiratory viral infection.

Taking colloidal silver regularly during cold or flu season often prevents colds and flu altogether.  And even if you don’t like taking colloidal silver regularly, taking it at the very first sign of a cold or flu often knocks the budding infection out within just one or two days.

Regular Daily Usage

You might want to read my article “Beating the Winter Cold and Flu Season With Colloidal Silver,” at this link, which explains the clear connection between regular daily colloidal silver usage and higher immunity, which in turn results in fewer colds and flu, or at the very least, cold and flu infections of shorter duration and reduced severity. 

The above-linked article also explains a neat little trick for beating back a full-blown cold or flu infection by adding red wine and lemon juice to your colloidal silver to help dissolve the lipid coating that protects cold and flu viruses. 

According to Anders Sultan, Sweden’s largest manufacturer of colloidal silver, this simple do-it-yourself remedy allows the colloidal silver to penetrate and destroy the cold or flu virus much easier. 

The “Ear Trick”…

But what if you haven’t been taking colloidal silver regularly and you feel that first twinge of a viral infection coming on?  No problem.  There’s another neat little trick you can try in order to stop the infection dead in its tracks. 

You can read about it in my article, “Colloidal Silver and Colds: A Safe, Simple and FAST Way to Stop Colds Before They Get Started!” at this link

The gist of the article is that a few drops of colloidal silver used in the ears at the very first sign of a budding cold or flu will often stop it from developing into a full-blown infection, literally overnight.  Learn why, in the article at the above link.

The Frightening Truth

Keep in mind that according to the Scripps Research Institute there are literally thousands of known viruses, and approximately 200 viruses that cause disease in humans.  And approximately 100 of the most prevalent of those can cause colds and flu. 

What’s more, it’s almost impossible to get away from viruses.  You can’t hide from them. 

According to a study in the Journal of Virology, in each cubic meter of air we breathe, there can be anywhere from 1.6 million to 40 million viruses, depending upon the time of year, weather conditions and other factors. 

So at any point in time, you’re quite literally living in an invisible fog of viruses, and breathing them in.  

And since the average human breathes approximately 0.01 cubic meters of air each minute, this means you very likely inhale at least several hundred thousand viruses every minute, according to science journalist Malcolm Tang.

While most of these viruses are not generally harmful to humans, it nevertheless makes it more and more difficult to avoid infection during cold and flu season due to the strong prevalence of cold and flu viruses at that time.   

Indeed, sooner or later you’re bound to run across a cold or flu virus that antimicrobial silver, with all of its broad-spectrum of activity, might not prove fully effective against. 

Thankfully, there are additional nutritional interventions you can use to help augment the effectiveness of your colloidal silver when you get caught in the grips of a nasty cold or flu virus despite your best attempts to avoid it.

These include supplements that boost your metabolism and immunity, and can help reduce the most crippling symptoms of the infection, as well. 

To learn how I handled one such case several years ago when my wife and I came down with a nasty flu bug, see my previous article titled “Colloidal Silver and the Flu Epidemic.”  You’ll learn the specific nutritional intervention we used – along with temporarily increased colloidal silver usage -- to help turn the tide.

What Colloidal Silver Users Say…

Finally, remember to take good care of yourself during the harsher winter months, including good diet, regular exercise and plenty of fresh air and rest if at all possible.

There’s no nutritional supplement or drug on the face of the earth that can protect you from cold or flu viruses if you allow yourself to become overly fatigued, poorly nourished, worn out or otherwise out-of-shape. 

And remember to take your colloidal silver daily during cold and flu season (see my short colloidal silver safe dosage report, here), in order to help prevent viral infections from ever getting started. 

Or at least turn to colloidal silver quickly when you feel that first little twinge of a cold or flu bug starting, and use some of the tricks and tactics I’ve discussed in the articles I’ve linked to above to help nip it in the bud before it fully takes hold.

As reader V. Swinney, from the great state of Texas recently wrote to me:

“I’ve been using colloidal silver since 1994… It’s been years since I have been to a doctor for antibiotics. I’ve quit taking flu shots some time ago. I have not had the flu since I have been using colloidal silver. And neither have I had a cold.”

Or as Nancy S., from Topeka, KS, recently wrote:

“My husband and I drink a shot glass (about 1 oz) of colloidal silver every night before bed. We've been doing this for about 4 years now. Neither one of us has been sick since. And I should mention, we've been around people who were sick and didn't catch anything.”

And as Karen H., of Tequesta, FL recently wrote:

“My friend, Ed, had gotten the flu several times in the past, so he knew what the flu felt like and knew the difference between a cold and the flu. He began to experience several flu symptoms and knew he was in for at least 2 weeks of misery.

So he 
made up some colloidal silver and drank several ounces every hour, on the hour, all day long. He went to bed that night, and when he woke up the next morning, it was completely gone. Not even a hint of a symptom.

Now, he said, most people would think he wasn't really coming down with the flu. But his symptoms were headache, body aches, scratchy throat and sinuses, and extreme fatigue. He said the only time he ever felt that way in the past was from the flu.

He is absolutely convinced the silver stopped the flu virus dead in its tracks before it could get a good stronghold in his body. Thanks!” 

And as registered nurse, Sherri, recently wrote me:

“I take 30cc of Colloidal Silver daily. I do not get the flu, or colds. If I do feel that I’m getting congested, I’ll take 60cc Colloidal Silver daily, and the signs and symptoms of the cold goes away in a couple days.”

And as D.V., from Pleasant Grove, Utah, wrote to say:

“I started using colloidal silver about 15 years ago. I take some almost every day. And when I feel any cold symptoms coming on I increase the dosage each day to several teaspoons and have not developed any colds or flu in all these years.” 

A Few Last-Second Tips…

Here’s a few more tips you might find helpful during cold and flu season:

If you find yourself with an earache during cold and flu season, the simple solution is to use several drops of colloidal silver in the ear, as described in the short video, Cure an Earache With Colloidal Silver.

If you find yourself with a sinus infection during cold and flu season, the simple solution is to use colloidal silver intranasally.  There are two highly effective ways to do this: 

One, you can follow the suggestions in this short video on how to Cure Sinus Infections With Colloidal Silver and a Neti Pot

Or two, you can follow the suggestions in this short video on how to Use Colloidal Silver in a Nasal Spray Bottle.

And if you find yourself with a sore throat, or even strep throat, during cold and flu season, here’s a short article on Colloidal Silver and Strep Throat that explains how to beat it quickly and easily!

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that colloidal silver can make the cold and flu season much more bearable, if you follow the suggestions and ideas in the articles linked to above.

To learn more about how experienced colloidal silver users have resolved dozens of different kinds of infections and healed numerous related illnesses, here’s a link to over 100 real-life colloidal silver success stories

And to learn how to make your own colloidal silver, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for the rest of your life, and for less than 36 cents a quart (compared to health food store prices of up to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle) just click the link in this sentence.

Colloidal Silver Cures Teeth and Gum Problems

 More great articles on colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Colloidal silver often works wonders on teeth and gum problems including relief from painful cavities, healing of teeth needing root canals, elimination of bleeding gums, elimination of dental plaque and much more.

Many people have found so much relief and healing from using colloidal silver orally, they even brush their teeth with it and use it as their daily mouthwash.  Below you’ll find links to over half a dozen short articles on the many ways colloidal silver is used to cure teeth and gum problems.

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for TheSilverEdge.com

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how to use colloidal silver to help with teeth and gum problems.

Fortunately, I have quite a few articles on that subject.  And there’s a short video, as well, on making your own colloidal silver toothpaste.  And I’ve published the links to them all, directly below.

You might want to browse through them, and bookmark a few in case you need them at a later date.

And if you know anybody suffering from teeth, gum or other oral health issues, you might want to share this short article with them. 










As you can see, you can brush your teeth with colloidal silver to reduce the presence of cavity-causing bacteria…you can use colloidal silver to help avoid a painful root canal… you can use colloidal silver to maximize the overall health of your teeth and gums and dramatically reduce most dental problems…

…Plus, you can use colloidal silver to help reduce the presence of plaque on your teeth and under your gums…and some people even claim you can remineralize damaged tooth enamel with colloidal silver.

What’s more, using colloidal silver orally can help protect the health of your heart and brain by destroying oral pathogens that often migrate from the mouth to those two vital organs, causing inflammation and disease. 

And as you’ll learn in the article at the very last link above, colloidal silver is the perfect replacement for your daily mouthwash.  Unlike commercial mouthwashes which contain high levels of alcohol or other problematic chemicals linked to oral cancers, colloidal silver is all-natural.

Can Colloidal Silver Be Mixed With Other Substances?

You can mix colloidal silver with other natural substances in order to make a variety of helpful natural solutions such as a homemade fruit and vegetable wash…a home cure for stubborn athlete’s foot…

…natural health and beauty care products including homemade deodorant spray and homemade mouthwash…a homemade antimicrobial gel for stubborn boils and other topical infections…homemade antimicrobial soap…and much more! 

Here are just a few examples of the kinds of substances people mix with colloidal silver in order to make their own helpful natural products for a variety of uses…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for TheSilverEdge.com

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is this:  “Can colloidal silver be mixed with other substances?”

And the answer, of course, in general, is “Yes!”

For example, people use vinegar and colloidal silver together as a very effective fruit and vegetable wash and disinfectant.  To learn how it’s done, read my article A Simple, Effective Colloidal Silver Fruit and Vegetable Wash at this link.   

Colloidal silver can also be used with apple cider vinegar as an effective athlete's foot cure.  For more specifics, see my article Colloidal Silver for Athlete’s Foot and Other Topical Fungal Infections at
this link.   

Colloidal silver can also be used with a variety of essential oils and other substances to make natural health and beauty care products, including a minty homemade mouthwash, a refreshing homemade aftershave, or even a homemade deodorant spray. 

Learn more by reading Angela Kaelin’s great article, Make Your Own Natural Health and Beauty Products Using Colloidal Silver at this link.

Even More Examples

Experienced colloidal silver users also use colloidal silver in combination with antimicrobial essential oils (i.e., such as Tea Tree oil) for topical use as a "double whammy" against stubborn topical infections such as boils or even MRSA.  Learn more by reading my article, An Unusual Colloidal Silver Remedy for Infected Boils in Inconvenient Places, at
this link.  

Some people even mix colloidal silver with liquid soap in a pump dispenser to give their favorite hand-soap powerful antimicrobial qualities.  See my short video, Make Your Own Colloidal Silver Gel and Colloidal Silver Soap, at this link

Finally, people mix colloidal silver with a variety of natural oils or gels, such as coconut oil, argan oil or aloe vera gel, to make all-natural germicidal topical products.  See my article, Germ-Busting Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams at this link, and scroll down to the section on “Making Your Own.”

General Rule-of-Thumb On Mixing

The general rule-of-thumb when mixing colloidal silver with other substances is to make up the combination fresh for each use whenever possible. 

Why? 

Because when colloidal silver is mixed with other substances, over the course of time it can begin to oxidize, or even bond with other constituents of the substance you’ve mixed it with, and lose potency as a result. 

Sometimes, there’s not enough potency loss to make a big difference.  But sometimes there is, depending upon the substance being mixed with the colloidal silver and whether or not specific constituents of that substance tend to interfere with the antimicrobial activity of the silver over time.

So, for example, when mixing colloidal silver with vinegar to create a natural, disinfectant fruit and vegetable wash, you should probably consider making up a fresh mixture each time since the acidity in vinegar tends to oxidize silver more quickly than other substances would.  

After all, it only takes a few seconds to mix a fresh batch of your colloidal silver and vinegar wash.  And you'll enjoy maximum potency and effectiveness from the silver by mixing the wash up fresh each time.  If you were to use the same batch you mixed a week earlier, it might not be nearly as potent as mixing a fresh batch. 

But when making things like a personal natural deodorant, a natural minty mouthwash or a refreshing natural aftershave by mixing colloidal silver with other substances (see earlier link to Angela Kaelin’s article), most users agree you can go as long as one week without having to mix up a fresh batch.

Some people prefer to make only three days’ worth at a time just to be sure they’re getting maximum antimicrobial potency from the silver. 

The bottom line, general speaking, is that the fresher-made the combination is, and the sooner it's used, the more potency and effectiveness the silver will maintain.

On the other hand, when mixing colloidal silver into liquid soaps and shampoos, the silver seems to maintain its potency very well over long periods of time.  Apparently, certain constituents of soap make for good carriers of silver, rather than acting as neutralizing agents. 

That’s why I never fail to add colloidal silver to my favorite shampoo, and to my favorite bathroom countertop liquid soap dispenser!

Controversy

There is some controversy over the idea that mixing colloidal silver with other substances can negate the effectiveness of the silver over time.

Indeed, in many cases there appears to be very little loss of silver’s potency at all, even over long periods of time.  And this appears to be borne out at least several clinical studies.

For example, one study has shown that when small amounts of silver is used as a disinfectant agent in "multiple dose products" such as cosmetics or pharmaceutical preparations, the silver continues to work over time, "even in the presence of strong interfering additives."  

In other words, the silver particles still demonstrate antimicrobial effectiveness in spite of the presence of ingredients that should interfere with it. 

Here's a quote from the study:

"The wide antimicrobial spectrum, the high microbicidal potency, the good water solubility and the safety of anodic silver, therefore, provide an encouraging background to the investigation of the use of this ion as a preservative in pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulations...

The high rate of kill of anodic silver is very useful to ensure a rapid reduction of microorganisms. However, the effectiveness of silver in keeping the number of surviving organisms at less than 0.01% of the starting inoculum after repeated inocula, even in the presence of strong interfering additives, appears the most interesting feature for its possible use as a preserving agent in multiple-dose products".

-- Scalzo, M., et al. 1996. Antimicrobial activity of electrochemical silver ions in nonionic surfactant solutions and in model dispersions. Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 48, 60-63.

[From the "What the Experts Say About Colloidal Silver" page at www.TheSilverEdge.com]

What that basically says is that when manufacturers use ionic silver in cosmetics or in pharmaceutical products as a disinfectant and preservative to help prevent the product from becoming contaminated with bacteria, the silver is able to keep the number of surviving microbes down to less than 0.01% even after the product has been used repeatedly, and even if the product contains “strong interfering additives.”

So the good news is that if you make an all-natural mouthwash, for example, using colloidal silver and other natural ingredients, and you still have some left over after a week or so, it should still be good to use!

What to Watch For

Just be sure to watch for signs that the colloidal silver you’ve mixed with another substance isn’t being neutralized, oxidized or otherwise degenerated over the course of time. 

For example, if the solution you’ve made is turning gray, cloudy or murky looking, this is a sure sign the silver particles have lost their electrical charge and are oxidizing and falling out of suspension, or agglomerating with other constituents in the solution you’ve mixed.  That’s when it’s time to mix a new, fresh batch.  

As I’ve mentioned previously, to insure maximum potency of the silver, most experienced colloidal silver users agree that fresh batches of such homemade natural products should be made for each individual use.

The exceptions are in cases of mixing colloidal silver with liquid soaps or shampoos (in which cases silver seems to maintain potency indefinitely), some gels (such as Aloe Vera gel, in which colloidal silver seems to maintain potency indefinitely) or in making a natural mouthwash or underarm deodorant spray (in which case experienced users generally make no more than one week’s worth at a time).    

Just keep your eye on your homemade solutions to make sure there’s no discoloration in them that would indicate the silver particles are agglomerating or oxidizing and falling out of suspension and thereby losing their potency.

Make Your Own Colloidal Silver and Save!

Of course, store-bought colloidal silver can be awfully expensive.  Prices average $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle in most health food stores. 

That makes it very expensive to use colloidal silver in homemade vegetable washes, foot soaks, deodorants, mouthwashes, etc., considering that you might need to use several ounces or more of colloidal silver at a time in such mixtures. 

But if you make your own high-quality colloidal silver with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you’ll never pay more than 36 cents a quart for colloidal silver.  (Learn more by clicking the link in this paragraph.)

That makes it unbelievably inexpensive to use colloidal silver any time you want to make a wide variety of highly beneficial, all-natural household products. 

For example, as mentioned last week in Jodi Todd’s guest article, Colloidal Silver: the Safe, Natural, Non-Toxic Home Disinfectant, you can even make a superb deodorizer for your carpets, drapes or other household items simply by filling a full-size plastic spray bottle with a 10 ppm solution of colloidal silver, and mixing in a few drops of Gardenia or Lavender essential oil. Spray it on carpets or drapes to disinfect them, and leave behind an intoxicating aroma.  

Or, as I reported in my article, 12 Most Unusual Uses for Colloidal Silver, some people make their own homemade spray starch for ironing clothing, by mixing one cup of distilled water with a tablespoon of colloidal silver and a teaspoonful of corn starch. 

The silver prevents the corn starch from going bad in the water.  The result?  Nice, crisply ironed clothing every time.  And you don’t have to pay through the nose for expensive store-bought spray starches!

In that same article, I pointed out that many people claim they can keep a bouquet of fresh cut flowers alive longer simply by mixing three tablespoons of sugar to the flower water, along with two tablespoons of 10 ppm colloidal silver. 

The sugar provides nutrients to help nourish the flowers and keep them alive longer, while the silver destroys bacteria that can invade the plant stems.  Cut flowers seem to absolutely thrive in this unusual solution!

As natural health writer Angela Kaelin points out in her great article, Colloidal Silver for Canning and Food Preservation, you can even mix colloidal silver into foods you plan on canning, pickling or preserving, to give them a longer shelf life by preventing bacterial contamination.  

Believe it or not, some people even mix a standard oral dosage of colloidal silver with equal parts of whisky, vodka or red wine when they have a viral infection.  Then they squeeze some fresh lemon or lime into the mix before drinking it.

Why would they do such a thing? 

As colloidal silver expert Anders Sultan explains, it’s because cold and flu viruses are lipid-coated viruses.  That means they have an outer fatty coating that’s difficult for silver to penetrate, and therefore makes them difficult to kill. 

But by adding a tiny bit of alcohol and citrus juice to a standard oral dose of colloidal silver before drinking it, that lipid-coating around the virus can be dissolved, and as a result the silver can more easily reach the virus and kill it! 

You can learn more about this nifty little flu-busting trick in my article, Beating the Winter Cold and Flu Season With Colloidal Silver.

The bottom line is that when you make your own high-quality colloidal silver with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, there’s literally no limit to the beneficial uses for colloidal silver you can find.  

Click on the link in the above paragraph to learn more about how easy it is to make your own colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart

Meanwhile, I’ll be back next week with another great article on colloidal silver…

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