Colloidal Silver and Stubborn MRSA Infections: 7 Helpful Tips

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
There’s tons of anecdotal evidence available (see below), demonstrating that colloidal silver is extremely effective against topical MRSA infections, i.e., MRSA boils and sores.

And there’s a plethora of clinical research demonstrating the ability of antimicrobial silver to kill the MRSA pathogen.

However, a few people have written to tell me their stubborn MRSA infections keep coming back.  Or that just as soon as they begin to get rid of one outbreak, another one comes along, piggy-backing the first one.

Why does this happen? 

Experts say that oftentimes the infected individual is being re-infected due to lack of necessary sanitary measures and poor personal hygiene during the initial treatment period.  Dietary issues that favor the growth of the MRSA pathogen also have to be taken into account. 

Here are 7 important tips I learned when my 85-year old mom had a stubborn topical MRSA infection that the doctor’s antibiotic drugs didn’t help…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

When my 85-year old mom had MRSA four or five years ago, her doctor put her on antibiotic drugs.  But they didn’t work.  Her infection didn’t subside.  And her topical MRSA outbreaks began to worsen. 

So I began to research the situation, and in the course of that research I discovered a number of important tips.  Here's a brief rundown of some of the most important things I’ve learned.  But please note:  This is not “advice” from me.   I’m not a doctor.  This is just a general overview of the things I learned when researching MRSA infections for my mom’s situation:

Tip #1 -- The staph bacteria behind MRSA thrives on sugar. So cutting edge doctors who study MRSA infections say you should significantly limit your sugar intake when dealing with an active MRSA infection.  After all, sugar not only feeds the MRSA pathogen, but excessive sugar intake also weakens your immune system. 

Tip #2 -- Staph lives on your skin as a normal part of your body's external bacterial flora. Usually, it does so without becoming infective, because your body's immune system keeps it in check.  But if you allow your immune system to weaken, MRSA colonies can and will take advantage of that, and begin to spread. Then they’ll work their way into any breach on the skin, and you end up with a nasty infection.  An active MRSA infection is a sure-sign of weakened immunity. So...

Tip #3 -- Holistic health doctors say MRSA victims should keep their immune systems in tip-top condition. Get plenty of rest, do what you can to eliminate stress in your life, exercise moderately to maintain physical strength and well-being, eat right, take a good multi-vitamin/mineral complex daily (not the cheap WalMart stuff), and…

Tip #4 -- Consider taking a good immune system booster for awhile, such as Cat's Claw, or better still, the NSC-24 brand of beta-glucan (see NSC24.com) which is known to dramatically boost immunity.

Tip #5 -- Because MRSA lives and thrives on skin, experts say personal hygiene is of utmost importance, especially in cases of MRSA topical boils, lesions and outbreaks.  This means keeping the skin clean by showering several times daily and washing with a good antimicrobial soap.  It also means keeping MRSA boils treated with a good antimicrobial gel – preferably one containing colloidal silver -- and covered with gauze bandages which need to be changed regularly, if possible. 

Tip #6 – Holistic health experts say it’s also essential to keep bed linens and other contact fabric (clothing, for example) super clean at all times.  That’s because MRSA can get on fabric and live there for long periods of time, which means you can easily get re-infected from your own clothing, bed sheets, towels, etc.  If there is any time when the old saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is important to take to heart, it’s when you have an active and stubborn MRSA infection.

Tip #7 – Holistic health experts say when a MRSA infection is present, it’s critical to use nutritional supplements known to help the body stop infections, such as colloidal silver, which should be used topically and taken orally if you’re not allergic to silver.  The nutritional supplement turmeric (i.e., curcumin) is said to be another important infection-fighting natural substance (a spice) that’s highly recommended by some natural health experts for helping the body fight MRSA infections. MRSA sufferers generally take it internally, along with their vitamins.

What Mom Did

So, with the above information firmly in mind, here’s what my mom did to help stop her stubborn, drug-resistant topical MRSA infection:

·       For three weeks she drank up to 4 ounces of 10 ppm colloidal silver daily, which she made herself with her Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.  Now, that's quite a big dose of colloidal silver.  A typical daily dosage would be one teaspoon to one ounce per day, depending on body weight.  So the dosage my mom used is not something a person would do for months on end, but instead, only for a few weeks at most while trying to give the body specific nutritional support it can use to better fight an active infection.

·       Three to four times a day, Mom also slathered her MRSA boils with ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel (contains 24 ppm colloidal silver).  Now, some people prefer to spray their MRSA outbreaks with regular liquid colloidal silver.  And that’s fine. Lots of people have had good success doing so.  But my mom used the colloidal silver gel under the theory that it would keep silver particles in direct contact with the MRSA-infected skin outbreaks much longer than could a typical liquid colloidal silver product if it were merely being sprayed on the topical MRSA outbreaks.  The ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel is available on Amazon.  But just about any good, high-quality colloidal silver gel or cream should help.  (Learn about additional colloidal silver gels and creams in my article, Germ-Busting Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams.)

·       Mom also took one daily capsule of NSC-24 brand Beta-glucan – a powerful natural immune system booster that helps the body fight infection while boosting immune system activity.  (Available through NSC24.com)

·       Mom also showered twice a day and washed her skin thoroughly with antimicrobial soap in order to wash the MRSA pathogens away.  That’s more important than you might think when fighting an active MRSA infection in which topical outbreaks are prevalent, because as noted earlier, MRSA lives and even thrives on the skin surface.  And the MRSA pathogens are constantly looking for ways to breach the skin barrier so they can go blood borne.  Unfortunately, in about 20% of cases in which MRSA goes blood borne, the end result is death for the afflicted individual.  So during a MRSA outbreak, it’s extremely important to keep the skin as clean and disinfected as possible, and keep cuts or scratches covered.  As her antimicrobial soap, mom used the brand called Silver Miracles Colloidal Silver Soap, which is available on Amazon.  But just about any good antimicrobial soap should do the trick. 

·       Mom also put bed sheets over every piece of furniture in the spots where she most likes to sit, including her favorite “kick back” chair from which she watches TV in the evenings.   This was to help keep the MRSA pathogens off the furniture.  Unfortunately, MRSA can live in the fabric of furniture for weeks on end.  And it can infect anyone else in the family who sits in the same spot. It can even re-infect the victim.  So mom kept bed sheets on her furniture to help prevent the MRSA pathogen from getting into the fabric of her furniture and potentially infecting other family members.  And she changed the sheets out daily to avoid re-infecting herself.

·       Finally, Mom washed her clothing and the sheets on her bed daily, because MRSA can live and thrive in the fabric of clothing or sheets.  It can even spread to everything in the laundry hamper.  So each day for three weeks while she fought her active infection, my mom did a lot of laundry in order to help keep the pathogens from spreading elsewhere. 

The bottom line is that these really nasty, stubborn cases of MRSA require a LOT of maintenance and a LOT of persistence if you want to beat them.  . 

Some people have had such persistent and stubborn MRSA boils or lesions that they’ve had to use a super-strong colloidal silver cream product called SilverPure Cream on them.  Silver Pure cream contains 35,000 ppm nanosilver.  It’s the strongest silver cream on the market, and if you think you need something that strong it’s available at SilverPure.com

Some Interesting Testimonials

Here’s an interesting testimonial regarding a stubborn case of MRSA that was finally resolved thanks to colloidal silver:

"I am currently fighting an infection on my ankle that started as a eczema sore that I picked at foolishly. It now has a staph infection that the doctors so far have been unable to find an antibiotic that works against.

“I run a small bird refuge and I have found it hard to attend the infection clinic that the doctors wanted me to go to. I took things into my own hands and started treating the infection with colloidal silver.

"My methods are rather primitive; I have simply strapped a thick piece of cotton wool to my ankle that is regularly soaked in colloidal silver. I had continual pain in the sore, that I did not realise at the time was being caused by the bacteria.

"Once the colloidal silver has been on the wound for a couple of hours the pain subsided. I had been taking regular pain killers for this pain and I was able to stop taking them. The sore is slowly getting smaller and cleaner looking, but it is difficult to keep the cotton wet as this also irritates my eczema.

"I made the mistake of leaving the cotton off one night to give my skin a chance to dry out, but in the morning there was yellow liquid coming out of the wound again and the pain had returned. You have to keep the treatment up 24/7 otherwise it comes back quickly. It is only going slowly, but it is going, which is more than was happening with the antibiotics from the doctor."

So, that's what one person was doing for a more stubborn case of MRSA. Here’s a shorter account from another individual who’s experienced great success with colloidal silver against recurring MRSA infections:

“Colloidal silver has helped my MRSA.  No break outs in a long time.   I take about 2 tablespoons a day and have used the colloidal gel too. I had many MRSA break outs last summer, and since using colloidal silver, nothing.  And it helped out with a finger infection also.” – J.S.

Here’s another anecdotal account that’s quite interesting, from a gentleman whose friend’s son was quite literally dying from a stubborn MRSA infection:

I learned that the son of a friend of ours has been infected with MRSA for years. His doctors have prescribed various antibiotics with no benefit.

I knew about the son's conditions for quite some time. When I heard that his physicians told him that there was nothing they could do to help him I provided pages of information on colloidal silver to his folks. I suggested they read the material and let me know if I could help them.

The son said he knew about colloidal silver. He believed it would help him but said he could not afford it. He said he was dying from MRSA and could not help himself.

I’ve been using the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator which I purchased from The Silver Edge years ago.  So I began providing a quart of the micro-silver to my friends whose son had the drug-resistant MRSA infected. He started ingesting 1 oz. 4 X daily and soaking an area on his leg that had been "eaten" by MRSA.

In all, I provided about 4 quarts to the folks (at no charge, of course). Yesterday I was told that following a visit to his infectious disease specialist, the son was told that there is no further evidence of MRSA.”  -- B.P.

And here’s an account regarding a person with a stubborn 15-year long MRSA infection, who was finally healed using colloidal silver:

My father-in-law has been positive for MRSA for over 15 years, since before it was called MRSA. He has been hospitalized at least 15 times this year alone and this time HE TESTED NEGATIVE!!!!!

He's been using the colloidal silver sporadically for the past few months, internally, topically and in the diffuser. Thank you for the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, Steve!” – B.A.

Here’s one about an individual who’s now been MRSA-free for over five years:

“I can attest to this working. My husband Jim had MRSA after a stay in the hospital, and he took colloidal silver internally and I also put it on his breakouts.

He hasn't had a problem with it for 5 years. It is completely out of his system. Everyone in my immediately family uses it for everything! I love this stuff, and am so glad I have the unit to make my own!” – J.F.

And one more:

MRSA ate my wife's skin off to where you could see her Achilles tendon…Her leg constantly was dripping and all the nurses and doctors thought that she would have to have her lower leg amputated. The smell coming from the holes in her leg was bad.

Our last resort was to use colloidal silver even though there was risk that if the medical community found out she might lose her doctor.  So I covered all the sores and open areas with gauze. Then I soaked them for 6-7 minutes dripping the colloidal silver on them to keep them soaked every minute. Afterwards, I rewrapped her leg and prayed.

I had to change her dressings twice a day during that time. The next morning I took the wraps and gauze off and it looked like another leg. I could barely believe my eyes. Shock was a good word for both of us as overnight the whole picture changed. I don't think I was ever so full of joy as on that day and that sold us on colloidal silver. Thank God for colloidal silver!” – J.R.

As you can see, colloidal silver really works against stubborn MRSA infections.  You can find more real-life examples of what people with MRSA have done to resolve their infections in my previous article, Does Colloidal Silver Really Kill MRSA, the Deadly Antibiotic-Resistant Form of Staph?

Please don't take any of this information as "prescriptive" in nature, however.  I'm just reporting on what I've learned in the course of researching to help my mom, plus my usual journalistic research into colloidal silver.  Check with your own doctor.  And do your research.  You might be surprised at what you discover. 

Finally, always keep in mind that MRSA can be very serious – even deadly if the infection were to go blood borne -- so a doctor’s care is therefore extremely important.

Finally, taking large daily doses of colloidal silver as a nutritional adjunct to help the body fight off a nasty infection can get awfully expensive.  After all, colloidal silver is usually sold in tiny little four-ounce bottles costing $20 to $30 apiece. 

My mom, for example, was drinking up to four ounces per day of colloidal silver during the three weeks she was fighting her active infection.  Once the infection abated, she stopped taking such large daily dosages, of course. 

Being retired, and elderly, and money being tight, she could hardly have afforded that much colloidal silver daily, except for the fact that she was making her own for less than 36 cents a quart, using a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. 

Making her own colloidal silver afforded her the ability to use as much as she needed each day to enjoy the successful results she obtained in only three weeks.

How to Make Your Own
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
As I mentioned earlier, a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge allows you to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.

Compare that to major health food store brands which usually cost between $20 and $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle, and you’ll see that the savings are astonishing. 

In fact, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the entire cost the generator. 

Do you know of any other health product that literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?

Obviously, having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for only pennies per quart is about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one needs it. 

And because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of a single nanometer – their effectiveness against colonies of pathogenic microbes is astonishing. 

Because of their extremely small size, the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles are up to 1,000 times more bioavailable than conventional silver particles.  This means the human body is able to absorb 99-100% of the silver, send it throughout the body to kill pathogens, and then excrete it with ease, afterwards.

Plus, it’s now known that these tiny silver micro-particles are able to kill off entire colonies of pathogens with far greater effectiveness than conventional colloidal silver particles, because of the “zombie effect” described in this recent article about brand new research out of Hebrew University in Jerusalem. 

Perhaps that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the effectiveness of their homemade micro-particle colloidal silver, as you can see at this web page full of real-life colloidal silver success stories.

Plastic Bottles for Storing Colloidal Silver

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
Finding bottles or other containers to store your homemade colloidal silver in can be a costly hassle if you don’t understand what works best, and why. 

I generally recommend using dark glass Ball canning jars such as those shown in this article, for reasons I’ll explain below. 

However, many people have written to ask me about using plastic bottles in which to store their homemade colloidal silver. 

Below, I’ll briefly reveal to you a small but frustrating problem inherent in using most kinds of plastic bottles to store colloidal silver in. 

And I’ll show you a simple way to easily overcome that problem and obtain some great plastic storage bottles, very inexpensively, that you can indeed use for storing colloidal silver – even for long-term storage. Here’s the straight scoop…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

People who make their own colloidal silver (see here) know that it’s generally best to store it in dark glass containers instead of plastic containers – especially for long-term storage, meaning for months or years at a time. 

The reason the containers need to be dark is because silver particles are very sensitive to prolonged exposure to bright light, which, in turn, can cause your silver particles to oxidize and fall out of suspension. They will then coat the bottom of your storage bottle with what will look like a fine gray coating of silt.  

This, of course, will destroy the potency of your colloidal silver.  So colloidal silver always needs to be stored in a dark container that keeps bright light out.   Doing so will vastly increase the length of time your colloidal silver remains fully potent in storage. 

In fact, while colloidal silver that’s been exposed to bright light for prolonged periods of time (i.e., hours at a time) might only remain fully potent for a few days or a few weeks, colloidal silver stored in dark containers can remain fully potent for many months or even years at a time. 

Why Glass, and Not Plastic?

The reason your colloidal silver storage containers should not be made of plastic -- such as typical plastic water bottles, milk bottles or juice bottles -- is because plastic tends to pick up static electricity from its immediate surroundings.

The static electricity on the plastic bottle can then gradually draw your electrically-charged silver particles to the sides of the container where their electrical charge will be neutralized, causing loss of potency.  Thus, when you go to use your colloidal silver, it will be far less effective than it should be.

So as you can see, storing your homemade colloidal silver in dark glass containers solves both problems, i.e., the dark glass keeps the light out, and the glass itself does not pick up static electricity like typical, commercial-grade plastic can. 

Dark glass storage containers (like these decorative Ball canning jars) work great.  And they can often be found on Amazon or through other online sources.

However, if all you have are clear glass containers in which to store your colloidal silver, you can always use the old “sock trick” – i.e., simply go to your local dollar store, buy a pair of men’s black socks for a dollar, and pull one of the socks up over your clear glass storage container to keep the light out. 

But What If You Want to Use Plastic Bottles?

Unfortunately, as I previously mentioned, most commercial-grade plastic bottles (i.e., such as typical water bottles, or milk or juice bottles, etc.) are prone to picking up static electricity from their surroundings, over time, which can dramatically reduce the potency of your colloidal silver. 

Nevertheless, plastic storage containers are often much more convenient to use than glass containers.  They’re easier to travel with.  And there’s far less chance of breakage if the plastic container is dropped, say, by a family member with butter fingers.

So, if you want to use plastic bottles instead of glass, here’s the simple solution:  Be sure to use non-reactive, medical-grade plastic bottles.

Thankfully, non-reactive, medical-grade plastic bottles don’t pick up static electricity from their surroundings.  So you can store colloidal silver in them for long periods of time, and the potency will remain high.     

But finding non-reactive, medical-grade plastic bottles can be a problem, since they’re considered to be specialty items that are generally used to store liquid over-the-counter medications in. 

And even if you do find some non-reactive, medical-grade plastic bottles, they’re often costly – sometimes as much as four or five dollars apiece, or even more. 

The Inexpensive Secret

But here’s a little secret that experienced colloidal silver users have known about for decades: 

By necessity, standard 3% household hydrogen peroxide is stored and sold in non-reactive, medical grade dark plastic bottles

And best yet, you can generally purchase one-quart plastic bottles of hydrogen peroxide at your local Walmart or other pharmacy for under a dollar apiece

For example, right now (June 2016), Walmart has one-quart bottles of standard household hydrogen peroxide on sale for only 88 cents apiece (see above photo).

So you can pick up five quart bottles of hydrogen peroxide for under five dollars.  Then take them home, dump the hydrogen peroxide out of them (follow local safety laws for dumping liquids), wash them thoroughly in warm soapy water, and then rinse them thoroughly, several times, using pure steam-distilled water to get out any soapy residue.  

Then add fill the bottles with your homemade colloidal silver and put the bottles into storage.  And voila, for under a buck per bottle you’ll have high-quality plastic storage bottles for your colloidal silver that will last practically forever and will keep your colloidal silver fresh and potent until you’re ready to use it. 

I like the Walmart household hydrogen peroxide bottles pictured above, because they’re square bottomed and square sided, whereas glass bottles are usually round.  So I can get about 20% more one-quart bottles of colloidal silver in my storage cabinet because of the space-saving nature of using the square plastic bottles. 

The Problem with Price…

Of course, if all of this sounds like too much of a hassle for you, you can always simply buy commercial brands of colloidal silver, which already come in either dark glass bottles, or in dark-colored, non-reactive medical-grade plastic bottles. 

Unfortunately, however, commercial brands of colloidal silver are a bit on the pricey side, costing between $20 and $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle. 

But because colloidal silver is so effective at healing infectious illness and disease, most people pop for the high-priced commercial stuff, not knowing that colloidal silver can be made at home – quite easily -- for just a few pennies per quart

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
Indeed, with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, you can make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.

Yes, that’s right -- less than 36 cents a quart!

At normal health food store prices, a quart of colloidal silver would usually cost you as much as $240.  But you can make that same quart for less than 36 cents with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. 

In other words, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the entire cost the generator. 

Do you know of any other health product that literally pays for itself the very first time you use it?

Making your own high-quality colloidal silver at home for just a few pennies per quart allows you to dramatically expand your range of uses far above and beyond what you’d be able to use colloidal silver for if you had to pay $20 to $30 for those tiny four-ounce bottles in health food stores. 

4 Simple Steps to
Colloidal Silver-Making Perfection!

 What’s more, colloidal silver is so simple to make at home, anyone who can use a coffee pot has all the skill needed to make colloidal silver.  Let me demonstrate for you how amazingly simple it is, in just four photos:

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...Just plug the two pure .999 fine silver rods into the two jacks in the bottom of the generator box, one on each side of the bubbler tube. 

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...Sit the generator box on top of a one-quart glass jar full of pure steam-distilled water, so that the two silver rods and the bubbler tube are immersed in the water.

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...Set the handy appliance timer for three hours, and plug it into any convenient grounded household electrical outlet.

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...Plug the generator into the timer and then turn the timer wheel clockwise until you hear the generator start bubbling. The generator will shut off automatically after three hours.

It’s really that easy! You just “set it, and forget it.” And when the generator quits running, you’ll have a full quart of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver.  

And you can make quart after quart for the rest of your life, for less than 36 cents each! 

Indeed, the set of pure .999 fine silver wire that comes with your generator is enough to make over $24,000 worth of colloidal silver (see here)!

Why should you ever again pay $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal silver at the health food store, when you can make your own superior-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for just pennies per quart?

After all, now you can afford to make all of the colloidal silver you’ll ever need, for just a few cents per quart.

And that means you can afford to use it for a myriad of other beneficial uses, including in the aquarium to help heal and prevent tropical fish infections…or in your hot tub or spa, to replace toxic chlorine and bromine…or for just about every kind of pet health problem imaginable…or even as a safe, natural, non-toxic household disinfectant

Nearly FREE, for the Rest of Your Life!

Obviously, having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for only a few pennies per quart is about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one needs it.

Colloidal Silver and Spider Bites

 Click here to learn how to make colloidal silver...
I get a lot of questions about using colloidal silver for spider bites.  There seem to be two basic variations of the question.  First, people want to know if normal, everyday spider bites can be treated effectively with colloidal silver.  And two, people want to know if colloidal silver will help with the far more serious Brown Recluse Spider bites. 

There’s quite literally zero clinical literature on the use of colloidal silver for spider bites of any kind.  But there are tons of anecdotal and experiential accounts we can learn from.  So let’s take a look at what others are saying about their use of colloidal silver for painful spider bites, as well as for the much more dangerous Brown Recluse Spider bites…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge

About a decade ago, when my wife Kathy and I visited a hotel on St. John’s Island in the Caribbean for the wedding of our daughter and son-in-law, we ended up making the mistake of walking through some tall grass on the hotel grounds while wearing short pants.  Unfortunately, the tall grass was infested with hundreds (maybe thousands) of tiny spiders. 

The little critters didn’t bother my wife, at all.  But they must have thought I was awfully tasty, because they bit the living heck out of me, all over my bare legs.  By the time we had walked back to our hotel room, I had little mini-welts dotting my legs, mostly from my ankles up to my knees.

And of course, as with most spider bites, they itched and burned like crazy.  I wanted to dig into them and scratch them so bad, it was all I could do to keep my hands away from them, knowing that scratching only makes the bite worse and can lead to infection.    

We didn’t have any Calamine lotion or other anti-itch medications with us.  But I had brought a small bottle of colloidal silver that had a pump spray top.  So I simply sprayed some 10 ppm colloidal silver directly onto the spider bites, repeatedly throughout the day, allowing the colloidal silver to air dry each time. 

And as long as I sprayed the bites with colloidal silver every few hours throughout the day, I was able to function without battling that incessant urge to dig at the bites with my fingernails.  In terms of intensity, the itching and swelling was cut by at least half with each topical application of colloidal silver.  And within a few days, the redness and swelling around the bites abated, and the itching disappeared. 

I was able to attend our daughter’s wedding comfortably.  And I’d thankfully discovered another great use for colloidal silver – truly the unsung hero of natural healing. 

Options, Options and More Options

Instead of simply spraying spider bites with liquid colloidal silver as I had done previously, there are several other options people have used that might provide even more dramatic relief.  For example, if a spider bite is particularly bad, many people recommend the wet cotton ball trick:
  • Wet Cotton Ball Trick:  If I were to get a spider bite today, rather than merely spraying liquid colloidal silver onto the bite, I'd probably put a cotton ball that's been thoroughly moistened with colloidal silver (not sopping wet, but good and moist) over the bite, and use a bandage to hold the cotton ball in place.  
This keeps silver in contact with the bite area much more effectively than merely spraying the bites with liquid colloidal silver periodically throughout the day. 

You simply change out the silver-moistened cotton ball at least three times a day, and within a few days you’ll be good to go – at least, according to others who have used this technique for spider bites. (You’ll see what others who have used this technique have to say, below.) 

A faster and simpler method is to obtain a good, high-quality colloidal silver gel or cream that you can apply to the bite periodically throughout the day:
  • Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams:  There are a number of great companies that make colloidal silver in gel or cream form, for topical use.  And they’re much easier to carry in one’s purse or glove box, or in one’s luggage while travelling, than a bottle of liquid colloidal silver. 
The main benefit from using colloidal silver gels and creams on topical issues such as cuts, burns or even spider bites, is that the gel or cream tends to hold the tiny silver particles against the affected area of the skin for longer periods of time than simply spraying liquid colloidal silver onto the skin. So you get faster and longer-lasting relief from itching, inflammation and pain.  And quicker healing. 

One of my favorite colloidal silver gel brands is called ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel, which contains 24 ppm colloidal silver and is usually available on Amazon.com or SwansonVitamins.com

My good friends at Sovereign Silver also have a great colloidal silver gel product called Sovereign Silver First-Aid Gel, which is available widely on Amazon.com or through many other vendors.

And an even stronger brand (much stronger) is Silver Pure Cream.  It contains 30,000 ppm nanosilver. It's available at SilverPure.com

There are actually lots of great colloidal silver gels and creams available commercially   And you can read more about them (including how to make your own colloidal silver gel or cream) in my previous article, Germ-Busing Colloidal Silver Gels and Creams

Here’s one more quick trick for dealing with particularly nasty spider bites:
  • Bentonite Clay Poultice and Colloidal Silver:  Natural health journalist Tony Isaacs, over at TBIYL.com, recommends using silver mixed together with bentonite clay and applied topically as a poultice on problematic spider bites.  
He says the silver helps with the inflammation and itching, and the bentonite clay helps draw the poison out of the bite. 

I have a short video on how to make a healing poultice with bentonite clay and colloidal silver here.  I've use this technique multiple times for healing infected boils.  But Tony says it works great for quick and effective relief from spider bites as well.

What Other People Are Saying About
Colloidal Silver and Spider Bites…

In the book Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Dr. James F. Balch, M.D. and his wife Phyllis A. Balch, C.N., colloidal silver is recommended for treating spider bites naturally.   They very briefly write:

Spider Bite/Colloidal Silver – “An antibiotic that reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and inhibits infection.” (p. 642)

In other words, according to the Balchs, to help reduce the redness and inflammation around the site of a spider bite, and to prevent infection and promote faster healing, colloidal silver should be your “go to” remedy. 

The following testimonials are from experienced colloidal silver users who have healed their spider bites with topical application of colloidal silver, in a variety of ways.  The first one discusses the moistened cotton ball trick:

“My Mom had several spider bites on her legs last summer..My sis-in-law soaked cotton balls in the colloidal silver, taped it to her legs where the bites were...Within 3 days she was all healed up!!!”

Here’s another story about a nasty spider bite and its treatment using a combination of topical herbal remedies and colloidal silver: 

“My son was recently bit by a spider. The results were puss and infection causing tissue (skin) to degenerate.

I used colloidal silver and it killed all bacteria and healed it. He will most likely always have a scar, but he also still has a leg.

The first day of the bite there was no treatments. By the morning of the second day it was full of pus and double in size. I treated it with a Cat’s Claw and Echinacea poultice. The third day the pus was gone but the bite remained the same wise. Some infection was gone but not all.

I used the colloidal silver once as a poultice and by morning it was smaller than the first day. I used it the last day as a poultice again and it was just fine.  I soaked a cotton ball and taped it on overnight. Approx 6 ~8 hours.” 

Here’s a story about a spider bite that went very awry when the bite developed into a staph infection and afterwards a surgery became necessary due to the severity of the infection; thankfully, when things continued to go wrong, colloidal silver was brought to the rescue: 

“A few months ago, I was bitten on my left hand by a spider.  I did not see the spider, but I did use my left hand to wipe away from my face the spider threads that I had walked into beneath the carport in my development. 

About four hours later I developed a small, white pimple on my left hand that was sensitive to touching it and grew very painful during the weekend.  I believe it most definitely was due to disturbing a spider in its web.

On the following Monday, I went to my doctor for treatment.  Because I had not brought in the spider, he refused my opinion regarding a spider bite.  He treated me for a staph infection.  Four days later I ended up in the hospital with surgery on my hand and four days of antibiotics while in the hospital.  The wound was drained and I was sent home with another ten days worth of antibiotics.

It took about one week for the surgical procedure to stop bleeding and for the bandage to come off.  The first thing I noticed was that my hand was frozen in place.  I could not bend my fingers.  With my follow-up visit to my surgeon, he mentioned that I should expect some arthritis in the hand, as that was a normal side effect after hand surgery.

Having one of your Silver Edge colloidal silver generators at home, I began pouring colloidal silver into cotton balls and thoroughly soaking my hand with the colloidal silver.  As soon as I saw that the glistening effect on the skin had disappeared, I then repeated the same process with DMSO.  Slowly, my hand began to have more flexibility.

Three weeks after having completed surgery, I returned again to the surgeon for another visit and he was amazed at how much flexibility I had in my hand.  The hand was fully functional and no longer painful when bending my fingers.

Knowing American physicians are reluctant to discuss colloidal silver, I decided to drop a hint to him as to what I had been doing. With a sly smile on his face, he said, ‘Keep using the colloidal silver. I don't think I will be seeing you again."

That's my story.  No stiff hand.  No pain.  All gain.  Wonderful stuff: colloidal silver. And even more effective when used in conjunction with the DMSO......at least in my case.”

Brown Recluse Spider Bites
And Colloidal Silver

A lot of colloidal silver users have reported being bitten by Brown Recluse spiders, so I’m going to throw in a few more of the testimonials I’ve received from readers regarding using colloidal silver on such bites.  However, keep in mind that Brown Recluse Spider bites can be very serious, and should be treated by a knowledgeable and experienced physician:

"My son was bitten by a brown recluse. I worked for a doctor who was well informed in natural medicines who recommended Colloidal Silver.  It can be bought at any health food store.

My son was bitten twice, so I know it wasn't my imagination that the silver worked. Soak a cotton ball with the Colloidal Silver, tape it over the wound & leave the cotton ball taped on for 24 hours.

When you change the bandage the first time, you will have a lot of nasty yellow drainage on the cotton ball, which the silver has drawn out. Use a clean cotton ball soaked with the silver & clean the wound & repeat the process for another 24 hours.

By the second & third rounds you should be seeing much healing!! This is what I know kept my son from having a dangerous wound & he has no scarring at all.

My granddaughter was also bitten & healed with the same treatment. I hope someone out there tries this & reports their results. I am not a physician, not guaranteeing results, just sharing what I know worked."

Here's another interesting testimonial regarding someone who got bit by a Brown Recluse spider and used colloidal silver:

“Shortly before thanksgiving I got bit by a spider. It really looked angry with a little brown spot in it. Well, I washed it out with peroxide then rinsed that off and put some AAA antibiotic cream on it. The next day it looked worse so about 9:30 pm I went to the emergency room.

Believe it or not the doctor would not commit to what he thought it was. Money wasted, he said ‘Whatever you do, don't use peroxide on it, and here is a rx for some cream to put on it. If not better in a couple of days go see you primary doctor.’

After the E.R. experience I started spraying it with my colloid silver. It still looked angry and was still concaved and red a couple days later. So I said well, I need to go to my primary doctor. My primary doctor took one look and said you have been bit by a recluse spider and that will require surgery. So he made an appt with a surgeon. Due to the 14 inches of snow that was on the ground I had to cancel the first appt. However I was spraying the spider bite 4-5- times a day with my silver.

It was about 10 days before I finally got to see the surgeon. He looked at it real close and asked ‘What have you been doing to this?’ I said have you ever heard of colloidal silver? He said ‘Yes.’ I said well, I've had people praying for me as to not have surgery and I've been using the colloidal silver 4-5 times a day.

He said ‘Well, whatever you’re doing, keep it up. You don't need surgery. It will heal from the inside out. It may leave a scar. If you can't live with that come see me again.’

It healed completely, with only a small scar. Considering I have COPD, rheumatoid arthritis and a few other problems the scar is just fine. The surgery would probably kill me."

And another one…

“My first cousin got a brown recluse spider bite on his right hand, middle finger.  His hand swelled double its normal size & the finger where the spider bit him looked like raw hamburger meat.

After three weeks of prescription drugs, no change at all.  But after only two days of colloidal silver usage, drinking four ounces three times a day, and spraying the colloidal silver directly on the bite, all swelling went down at end of the second day.

There have been two other bites in Louisiana in which the individual’s finger had to be cut off because the doctors said the antibiotic wasn’t working & the patients could lose their hand or maybe their arm if the finger was not cut off.

Thank u, The Silver Edge company -- I have two of your colloidal silver generators & have had much success from many infections.” 

And here’s another very interesting testimonial about a Brown Recluse spider bite:

“I would like share something with everyone. I have had my colloidal silver generator for over a year now.

Two people I know that were bitten by a brown recluse spider were continuing to suffer advanced deterioration of wound area even after visiting emergency rooms and having wounds cleaned out and given antibiotics.

Both were given nano silver and topically applied to wound and bandage and kept covered. Within days healing was complete.

One of the individuals was called back by emergency room and asked why she had not returned. She told them wound was healed, they said impossible because culture showed antibiotic resistant infection present.

She told them we had used the silver and wound was closed and healed. They simply hung up on her.”

And another Brown Recluse bite story I saw on Facebook:

“So, my Daddy was bit by a spider on his shin a few weeks ago.  The day after the bite (he didn’t realize he’d been bitten until that next day) his leg was showing classic signs of a brown recluse spider bite. 

A few days after the initial bite, his leg was in the beginning stages of necrosis.  Long story short, colloidal silver was applied every day, several times a day, and his leg is COMPLETELY healed! 

I’m not surprised, not really, but I’m still amazed, every single day, with new discoveries of what all colloidal silver can do!  Just wanted to share with my lovelies.”
