Colloidal Silver versus the New Airborne Superbugs

 Learn more about the powerful infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Here’s another great reason to always have fresh, pure colloidal silver handy, and to learn how to use it correctly. 

Drug-resistant superbugs which used to be found chiefly in hospital settings are now going airborne, and are making their way into communities across the U.S., quite literally being carried on the wind. 

Of course, we already know that colloidal silver absolutely decimates most drug-resistant superbugs.  (See the article below for links to clinical studies demonstrating this now well-known fact.) 

And we know that for the past half-dozen years or so, the drug-resistant superbugs have been moving from the hospital environment into the community environment, meaning they’re now in our schools, day care centers, churches, movie theaters, gyms, supermarkets and even our homes – just about anywhere people congregate.

What we didn’t understand, until now, is how these drug-resistant superbugs are being spread so quickly throughout the general population in cities and towns across America. 

Now the mystery has been solved, at least in part.  Here’s the straight scoop you won’t find anywhere else…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

I’ve written in the past about the hidden reason the world is now in such a titanic battle against antibiotic-resistant superbugs. 

You can read the facts no one else is reporting in the following two articles:
But the bottom line is that some 80% of all antibiotic drugs being produced today – an astonishing 17 million pounds of them -- are not being given to humans to fight infections.  Instead, they’re being given to farm animals like cattle, sheep, pigs and even fish and chickens. 

Worse yet, they’re not even being given to the animals to protect them from infection.  They’re being given to the animals in order to fatten them up faster so they can get the meat to market quicker and make more money.

You see, when antibiotics are given to farm animals on a regular, ongoing basis, it negatively affects their metabolism, causing them to start putting on weight very quickly. 

This allows Big Agriculture to make literally billions of dollars more in profits every year, because the animals grow faster, and the big corporate farming operations can get the meat from these antibiotic-drenched animals to market faster than ever before. 

But as a result of this massive (and quite unethical) overuse of antibiotics in farm animals, farms are now becoming huge repositories for drug-resistant pathogens. 

And meat from those farms, which is sold in your local supermarket, is often contaminated with low levels of antibiotic drugs, which you, in turn, eat whenever you have meat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 

This low-level ingestion of antibiotic drugs on an ongoing basis kills off the weaker pathogens in your body, leaving only the hardiest and most virulent of pathogens alive. 

These pathogens then mutate, becoming even more resistant to common antibiotics.  And if you end up infected, prescription antibiotics drugs won’t work.

Now They’ve Gone Airborne

But as Time magazine has reported in their March 2015 news article “Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria From Texas Cattle Yards Are Now Airborne, Study Finds,” there’s now another way the drug-resistant superbugs can infect you. 

The superbugs can travel on air currents from the big corporate farming operations where they’re most concentrated, to your home, where you can get infected simply from breathing them into your lungs.    

Indeed, not only are the superbugs that thrive on the big corporate farming operations becoming airborne, but they’re able to travel extremely long distances simply by hitchhiking a ride on the wind currents.

As stated in Time magazine:

A new study says the DNA from antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in American cattle yards has become airborne, creating a new pathway by which such bacteria can potentially spread to humans and hinder treatment of life-threatening infections.”

The Time magazine article goes on to say:

“Because antibiotics are poorly absorbed by cows, they are released into the environment through excretion.

Once in the environment, bacteria will undergo natural selection and genes that have acquired natural immunities will survive.

The genes that have gone airborne are contained in dried fecal matter that has become dust and gets picked up by winds as they whip through the stockyards.”

Indeed, one of the authors of the new study characterizes the findings as being so frightening, “…it made me not want to breathe.” 

According to the clinical study Time magazine reported on, the superbugs and their mutated genes can then travel hundreds of miles on the wind currents to major cities, where they can then be picked up by people and further spread throughout the population.

This is quite possibly one of the main reasons why so-called “community acquired” superbug infections are now beginning to overtake hospital-acquired superbug infections. 

While hospitals are now using intensive disinfection to keep the superbug populations lower, the superbugs from animal stockyards are spreading into the communities themselves through the air, quite literally hitch-hiking rides upon the breeze. 

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue

Of course, it’s been known since the 1970’s that silver kills even the most resistant of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.  As Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. wrote in 1977,

“What we have done was rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, a fact which had actually been known for centuries ...

…All of the organisms we tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant to all known antibiotics...In no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment apparent.”

But that particular inconvenient truth is largely ridiculed by the medical bureaucrats and their cronies in Big Pharma. 

Why?  Because, simply put, there’s no money in developing silver-based drugs when people can make their own safe, natural colloidal silver for just pennies per batch, as I’m going to show you how to do in just a few minutes. 

But before we look at how to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for just a few cents per one-quart batch, let’s look at the clear, scientific evidence proving silver’s ability to wipe out the drug-resistant superbugs.  

Here are brief summaries of just three of the most recent clinical studies demonstrating silver’s profound ability to quite literally destroy drug-resistant superbugs:    

Clinical Study #1:  Colloidal Silver Kills up to 99.7% of Six Multidrug-resistant Superbugs! 

In this fascinating clinical study titled “Bactericidal Effect of Silver Nanoparticles Against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria,” published in the World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology in 2010, it was found that antimicrobial silver killed up to 99.7% of drug-resistant bacteria, including some of the most virulent multidrug-resistant strains. 

The study authors stated:  “In our study, antimicrobial silver nanoparticles exerted a bactericidal effect against six drug-resistant bacterial strains… the same nanosilver concentration inhibited 99.7% of erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes, 95.7% of ampicillin-resistant E. coli and 92.8% of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa.” 

The researchers further concluded that silver exhibited bactericidal effect rather than merely bacteriostatic effect.  That’s extremely good news, because it means the use of antimicrobial silver is so effective against drug-resistant strains, it outright kills them rather than merely inhibiting their growth!

Clinical Study #2:  Colloidal Silver Kills Antibiotic- resistant Staph, E. Coli, Pseudomonas andSalmonella!

In this ground-breaking clinical study, titled “Colloidal Silver as a New Antimicrobial Agent,” published in the respected International Journal of Microbiological Research in 2010, the researchers demonstrated that colloidal silver effectively decimated antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi.

The researchers concluded:

Resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi were used as the test organisms.  This study demonstrated powerful antimicrobial activity of colloidal silver against all multidrug-resistant clinical pathogens tested.”

Clinical Study #3:  Colloidal Silver Kills 49 Different Strains of Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs! 

In this most recent clinical study titled “The Antimicrobial Efficacy of Silver on Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Isolated From Burn Wounds,” conducted by researchers at the Department of Pathology at West Virginia University, and published in the International Wound Journal in October 2012, a total of 49 different antibiotic-resistant bacteria were isolated from burn wounds and tested against silver.  

These deadly, drug-resistant pathogens included Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multidrug-resistant Vibrio sp, drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia, drug-resistant Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacterbaumannii and 42 others.

After exposing these drug-resistant pathogens to antimicrobial silver the researchers concluded, “…all forty-nine antibiotic-resistant bacteria showed susceptibility to the antimicrobial activity of silver…” 

As you can see, there’s hardly a superbug in existence that hasn’t been demonstrated by clinical research to be sensitive to antimicrobial silver.  And that includes the deadly MRSA pathogen that infects some 94,000 Americans each year and kills a whopping 20% of them!

But let’s take a look at how unbelievably easy it is to make your own safe, natural colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart, in the comfort and privacy of your own home…

High-Quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
for Less Than 36 Cents a Quart!

 Learn how to make high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Here’s the good news:  Colloidal silver is extremely simple to make.

Indeed, by purchasing an inexpensive Micro-Particle Home Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you can produce your own safe, pure, high-quality colloidal silver any time you need it, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for about thirty six cents a quart or less!

That’s just a little bit over one cent per ounce, compared to health food store prices of $7 or $8 per ounce!  And the quality is superior compared to health food store brands, because you make it fresh every time!

And at just a little bit over one cent per ounce, you can quite literally afford to bathe in colloidal silver, if you wanted to.  

Indeed, many people with chronic skin conditions (including MRSA eruptions) do just that, and to great effect.  They just add a quart or so to their bath water, and skin conditions begin to clear up rapidly!

You can also…
  • Put colloidal silver into a nebulizer and breathe the atomized mist into your lungs, to heal lung infections and upper respiratory infections of all kinds.
  • Gargle with colloidal silver to eradicate sore throats.
  • Put colloidal silver into a spray atomizer and sniff it up your nose to eliminate sinus infections for good.
  • Add a drop or two of colloidal silver into your eyes to stop Pink Eye or styes in a single afternoon.
  • Put a few drops of colloidal silver into your ears to cure earaches virtually overnight.
  • Eradicate food poisoning pathogens simply by drinking a few cents worth of colloidal silver.
  • Spray your store-bought meats and other fresh foods with colloidal silver before refrigerating, to kill any nasty super-pathogens such as MRSA on the food surfaces.
  • Spray colloidal silver onto kitchen counter tops to kill germs, mold, mildew and other microbes.
  • Soak your store-bought fruits and vegetables in colloidal silver to eradicate potentially harmful bacteria and fungus from the food surfaces.
  • Use colloidal silver to clean and decontaminate faucets, door knobs, and other contact surfaces such as your kitchen cutting board or that filthy blade on your kitchen can opener.
  • Add a couple of ounces of colloidal silver to your daily laundry as a natural antiseptic agent that will keep clothes, bath towels, dish rags, and other fabrics fresh and germ-free for weeks on end.
  • Soak your toothbrush in colloidal silver to prevent microbial contamination.
  • Spray colloidal silver around sinks, bathtubs and other surfaces to stop mold and mildew in its tracks.
  • Spray colloidal silver topically onto cuts and burns for prevention of infection and to stimulate rapid wound healing.
  • Add colloidal silver to your pet’s water bowl to resolve internal infections and help prevent illness. 
And, of course, you can safely use colloidal silver internally (i.e., you can drink it) to stop colds and flu in their tracks…alleviate intestinal infections…stop urinary tract infections …cure upper respiratory infections…wipe out infection-based prostate problems…and much, much more!

10 Million Colloidal Silver Users Can’t Be Wrong!

An estimated ten million people across North America and around the world now use colloidal silver regularly.

But why pay anywhere between $19 to $39 at your local health food store for a tiny four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver that probably won’t last a week during a protracted health crisis, when you can make a full QUART at a time for less than thirty six cents – over and over and over again for the rest of your life?

You’ll literally be able to afford to give it away to sick relatives and friends…gargle with it to stop a sore throat in its tracks...swish it around in your mouth to eliminate bacterial plaque on teeth and gums...

…or even drink a few ounces daily to resolve intestinal infections or cure food poisoning ...knock out upper respiratory infections such as colds and the flu...eliminate urinary tract infections... beat Candida yeast infections with ease...and much more!

Cutting edge doctors have demonstrated that when used internally it even works on deep-seated infections that, left untreated, can result in chronic degenerative diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and other serious conditions!

The new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator has been the world's #1 most popular and best-selling home colloidal silver generator for over 10 years running.

Here are just a few reasons tens of thousands of people throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Mexico, South America and even the Middle East own a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, and why you should own one too...
  • It pays for itself after your very first batch - your total cost to make your first quart is less than 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!
  • Produces uncommonly small silver micro-particles as low as .8 nm. That's a fraction of a single nanometer.  Compare that to health food store colloidal silver which can contain silver particles as large as 200 nm (or even larger), and you'll see why micro-particle colloidal silver is hands-down 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 only 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!

P.P.P.S. – Two years ago I warned you that an average of 14% of the meat you buy at your local supermarket or grocery store was contaminated with the deadly superbug known as MRSA, which evades almost all known antibiotic drugs.  

Then, last year, I warned you that the figure had jumped to 50% of all tested supermarket meats being contaminated with MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant superbugs.  

Now, according to new findings published by the FDA, an average of 61% of ALL meat sold in local supermarket is contaminated with MRSA and other deadly, antibiotic-resistant superbugs That includes an astonishing 81% of all turkey meat sold in supermarkets…69% of all pork…55% of all beef and 39% of all chicken!

Quite frankly, this means, it’s only a matter of time before you, or someone you know – perhaps a good friend, perhaps a member of your own family, even one of your own children of grandchildren – will end up with a potentially deadly super-bug infection.

And that’s just one more good reason why it’s so critically important to own the means of colloidal silver production by obtaining a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, so you can keep yourself and your family protected at all times. 

But remember, the very special $100 savings offer and FREE bonus reports and other goodies described above are available for the next 10 days only.

Researchers Prove Nanosilver Kills Toenail Fungus (Dermatophyte Fungus)

 Learn more about the powerful infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Fungal infections of the nails (i.e., toenails, fingernails) are some of the most stubborn and problematic of all infections, usually requiring months of treatment with costly and potentially toxic antifungal drugs that can cause liver damage and other serious side effects.

Thankfully, researchers have demonstrated that safe, natural antimicrobial silver is powerfully effective against the dermatophyte fungi behind nail fungus.  Two different studies – one published in 2008 and one in 2011 – have demonstrated this to be true. 

Of course, natural health advocates have known for years that colloidal silver is highly effective against numerous forms of pathogenic fungi, including toenail fungus.  Here’s the straight scoop you won’t find anywhere else…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

In this clinical study published by the 2011 International Conference on Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics, researchers examined the effects of silver nanoparticles on the dermatophyte fungi Trichophyton rubrum, which causes nail fungus.

The study is titled “Antifungal Effects of Silver Nanoparticle alone and with Combination of Antifungal Drug on Dermatophyte Pathogen Trichophyton Rubrum.”  And as its authors wrote:

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of silver nanoparticles alone and in combination with the anti-fungal drugs Fluconazole and Geriseofulvin on dermatophyte pathogen T.rubrum.”

What were the results of this study? 

The study authors found that “the growth of T. rubrum was inhibited at concentration of 10 µg/ml silver nanoparticles alone.” (That's 10 ppm.)

The study authors also found that the antifungal activity of the drugs Flocunazole (aka Diflucan) and Geriseofulvin (aka Gris-PEG) were “increased in the presence of silver nanoparticles.

In other words, silver nanoparticles worked fine, alone, against the nail fungus.  And when the silver nanoparticles were combined with popular prescription antifungal drugs, the effectiveness of the drugs was appreciably increased.

Powerful Antifungal Agent

Of course, silver has been known for decades to be a powerful antifungal agent, ever since Dr. Robert O. Becker conducted his studies on the antifungal qualities of silver ions back in the 1970s (see one such study by Dr. Becker, here).

And modern researchers have repeatedly confirmed silver’s astonishing effectiveness against fungal pathogens; for example, see the 2010 study “The Silver Nanoparticle:  a New Model for Antifungal Agents” at this link.

But the study on dermatophyte fungus above is only the second one I’m aware of to be conducted on pathogenic nail fungi.

The other study I’m aware of that looked at silver’s powerful effects against dermatophytes was titled “Antifungal Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Dermatophytes,” and it was published in the Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology back in August, 2008. 

In that study, researchers also documented silver nanoparticles to be highly effective against both dermatophytes (nail fungus) and Candida yeast species of fungus.  You can view a copy of the study, here.

The bottom line is that older research, as well as modern-day research, has clearly demonstrated that colloidal silver is highly effective against nail fungus, as well as other pathogenic fungi such as Candida yeast.

Of course, colloidal silver users have known for years that silver is one of nature’s most powerfully effective antifungal agents.  As reader Nancy S. from Topeka, KS recently wrote:

“My 25 yr old daughter had been treating a foot fungus with many different over-the-counter products, with no luck in clearing up the fungus.

She had suffered with the pain and itching for almost a month. I encouraged her to dab on some silver water. She did and immediately the itching stopped.

I sent her home with a small bottle. The next day she called me....she had applied it several times that day. The pain was gone and the deep redness had changed to a pale pink. In 3 days after first application.....fungus was gone!!

I am no longer skeptical about it.”

Here are some additional informational resources you’re sure to find helpful on using colloidal silver to heal fungal infections:
  • If you’re tired of paying greedy health food stores $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver, it’s important to know that you can make your own high-quality, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral colloidal silver, for less than 36 cents an ounce, with a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, at this link.

Using Colloidal Silver in Your Swimming Pool

 Learn more about the infection-fighting qualities of colloidal silver at www.TheSilverEdge.com
Let’s face it:  Chemicals like chlorine and bromine are potentially toxic. 

And if you’re being exposed to such chemicals regularly in your swimming pool, then you’re taking a lot of unnecessary risk to your health and well-being.

Thankfully, now that ion generating technology is available for swimming pools, it’s now easier than ever to replace chlorine and bromine disinfectants with safe, natural silver and copper ions, instead.  It’s like having a large colloidal silver generator for your swimming pool. 

Here’s what you need to know…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

Several weeks ago I published a short article on how to use colloidal silver in your hot tub or spa, in place of harsh and potentially toxic chemicals such as chlorine and bromine.

That article spurred a lot of questions from swimming pool owners who want to know if they could also use colloidal silver as a chlorine/bromine replacement in something as large as a swimming pool. 

The answer is yes.  But you’re not going to want to use homemade or commercially purchased colloidal silver.  Here’s why:

18,000 Tablespoons a Week?

The general rule-of-thumb that’s been circulating on the internet for years is one tablespoon of colloidal silver for each gallon of water in the pool, once a week. 

Now, depending upon the size of your swimming pool that can be a LOT of colloidal silver. 

For example, a typical, small, in-ground 18,000 gallon swimming pool would require 18,000 tablespoons of colloidal silver (70 gallons) once per week.

Like I said, that’s a LOT of colloidal silver.  But thankfully, there’s a much better (and easier) way to go. 

The Best Way to Go

When I've spoken with pool experts about using colloidal silver, most of them have told me the same thing: 

You need both silver AND copper for large swimming pools so that both the bacteria and fungus, as well as the algae and other "plant"-like growths (which are actually multi-cellular organisms) are prevented from growing. 

Silver kills the pathogens, copper kills the algae and other organic growths.  These two safe, natural minerals have to be constantly replenished in the pool water, because light from the sun tends to degrade them, and over time they’re also filtered out by the pool filters. 

Fortunately, pool manufacturers have come out with commercial copper/silver ion generators made especially for swimming pools

These are professional units designed to release very small amounts of copper and silver ions into your pool on a continuous basis, 24-hours-a-day. 

They're like a large, commercial-grade colloidal silver generator, designed specifically for swimming pools, aquatic animal habitats and large water fountains.

Not too long ago these units cost around $3,000.  But the costs have come down pretty dramatically to about one-third of that amount or less, depending upon the brand and the model needed based on your pools size. 

With these units, you'll still have to lightly "shock" your pool every once in a while with chlorine/bromine, in order to oxidize things like body oils, suntan lotion, dead skin and other substances that would otherwise build up and get trapped in the pool filter, resulting in sooner-than-normal filter cleaning or replacement. 

But if you keep your pool filters cleaned regularly, you should only have to use the chlorine/bromine “shock” once every month or two, at most, resulting in a barely detectable daily level. 

The bottom line is that using a silver-copper water disinfection system in your swimming pool allows you to keep infectious microbes, fungus, algae and other critters at bay, while dramatically limiting your exposure to potentially toxic chemicals such as chlorine and bromine. 

Does It Really Work?

Silver and copper ions have been used in swimming pools for decades. 

But do they really keep the water pathogen-free?  At what levels must they be used to keep the pool water disinfected?  And how do the silver and copper ions work in comparison to the more toxic chemicals such as chlorine or bromine? 

Thankfully, testing has been conducted that’s answered most of those questions. 

In fact, according to The Silver Institute, an organization that tracks the use of silver in consumer products, one of the most dramatic of the earlier purification tests occurred in 1976 in a 20,000 gallon swimming pool in Nebraska.

There was no disinfectant of any kind in the water. Fifty gallons of municipal sewage plant effluent was placed into the pool. That produced a dangerous concentration of 7,000 e. coli bacteria cells per 100 milliliters (half a cup) of water.

Contents of the pool were pumped through a tank containing alternating anodic and cathodic silver electrodes for disinfection. Within three hours the pool was entirely free of e. coli bacteria and the water contained only 3.2 parts of silver per billion parts of water -- an amount that is completely safe for humans.

In another dramatic test of silver's anti-microbial killing power, the Allegany County Health Department in Pennsylvania conducted tests in a 152,000 gallon pool which previously had been disinfected by a 50 pounds-per-day chlorinator. The system was replaced by a silver system for the swimming seasons of 1974 and 1975. Pool water circulated through a filter of activated carbon impregnated with metallic silver.

The county Health Department took up to 50 daily samples and found that silver ions remained in the pool at a low, steady rate of 20 parts per billion with water free of coliformpseudomonas and staphylococcus bacteria through-out the two seasons.

In contrast, 65 water samples from 30 other pools having a mean concentration of 700 parts per billion of available chlorine for disinfecting, showed a mean of 1.3pseudomonas and7.3 staph cells per milliliter of water.

"This data", the Health Department reported, "indicates that silver is equal to chlorine in maintaining essentially coliform-free pool water, and is somewhat better than chlorine in destroying pseudomonas and staph aureus organisms..." 

Commercial Brands

If this sounds to you like a viable alternative to soaking in high levels of chlorine and bromine in your swimming pool each day, you can read about two of the most popular commercial silver/copper ion generation units designed specifically for pools, at these links:

·       Up to 90,000 gallons

·       Up to 200,000 gallons

There are a number of other commercial copper/silver ion generators made for pools on the market, as well.  So if you’re going to look into this option for your own swimming pool, be sure to remember the axim, “Google is your best friend” (or whatever your preferable search engine is.) 

Here are a few more manufacturers of silver-copper ion water disinfection systems for swimming pools, which you might want to look into:

·       Superior Aqua System

·       Caribbean Clear

·       Zodiac Pool Systems

And of course, be sure to talk to the good folks at your local swimming pool service and accessories store, and ask them if they’ve ever installed these silver/copper ion units, as well as which brands did they find worked best. 

After you’ve been using silver/copper ions in your swimming pool water for a few weeks, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how soothing to your skin the water becomes, as well as how quickly stubborn skin irritations tend to disappear!

Your body will thank you for it.  And more importantly, you’ll be surprised at how sparkling fresh and clear the silver/copper ions will keep your pool water as long as regular maintenance (i.e., filters cleaned, pool “vacuumed,” etc.) is performed.

The antimicrobial power of silver ions have been used for over 100 years, not just in swimming pools and aquatic habitats, but in municipal water purification systems, on cruise ships, and even on the Space Shuttle to help keep the drinking water fresh and pure for the astronauts. 

According to Jeffrey Ellis, Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Florida International University in Miami, millions of ounces of pure silver are now being used by business and industry each and every year for water purification purposes.  Even soft drink bottlers now use silver to sterilize the water used to disinfect the bottles before they’re filled with soda.

Silver is also used in hospitals, in the form of prescription silver-based creams that help stop topical infections from breaking out in burns, cuts and abrasions.  And it’s also used in hospital bandages that help stop infections from breaking out in surgical wounds.

One of silver’s most popular uses is as a nutritional supplement, in the form of colloidal silver, which is widely known for its powerful, infection-fighting qualities.  It can be applied topically to cuts, burns, scrapes, and even to outbreaks such as acne, MRSA boils, or even shingles and herpes outbreaks.

It can also be used in the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and throat to stop common infections in their tracks. 

And it can be used internally, as well, to help stop active infections such as food poisoning, colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, Candida yeast infections, urinary tract infections, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and much more.

Indeed, it’s estimated that some ten million people worldwide now use safe, natural colloidal silver to help heal their own infections and related diseases.  

So even if you don’t want to use silver in your swimming pool, you might want to take a look at how colloidal silver is being used by millions of people worldwide to heal infections of all sorts – safely and naturally -- without the need for Big Pharma’s toxic drugs and chemicals:
