History
Colloidal Silver is a natural and powerful broad spectrum antibiotic agent, it also has excellent antiseptic, antifungal and disinfectant properties. As long ago as 400 B.C. Hippocrates described colloidal silver’s antimicrobial properties. In addition to having antibiotic properties, new studies have demonstrated that silver is one of the most effective substances for fighting antibiotic resistant super-pathogens such as MRSA.
From the late 1800s up until 1938 Colloidal Silver was commonly prescribed to treat a wide spectrum of diseases and infections. With the advent of man-made antibiotics in the late 1930’s, Colloidal Silver lost its popularity. Read here for more information on the history of Colloidal Silver.
The big pharmaceutical companies have done an effective job lobbying the FDA to strike a ruling to discredit the confirmed efficacy of Colloidal Silver as a natural antibiotic, anti-fungal and anti-viral agent. However extensive research performed by Dr. Robert O. Becker proved the healing properties of silver ions contained in silver. Read here about how the International Space Station and the Russian Space Station utilized Colloidal Silver.
How Colloidal Silver is Made
- Pure silver will not dissolve in water;
- Pure silver will dissolve and float permanently in water if a process is employed that:
- Divides the silver into single atoms of micro-clusters of less than 15 atoms each;
- Gives the atoms a positive electrical charge;
- Attaches the atom to a molecule of simple protein;
- This process is called colloidal suspension;
- As the force of the electrical charge is stronger than gravity the silver particles remain suspended;
- True Colloidal Silver is a colorless liquid (not yellow) becasue the micro-clusters are too small for light from the micro-cluster to reflect back to the human eye.
How Colloidal Silver Kills Virus, Fungus and Bacterium
(one-celled disease causing pathogens)
Colloidal Silver cripples the pathogens oxygen-metabolising enzyme (chemical lung) causing suffocation and death of the pathogen – this process typically occurs within six minutes. Disease organisms can become resistant to conventional antibiotics (triggering super-infections) as pathogens have enough time to mutate allowing the organism to become immune to the antibiotic during the period of time in which the antibiotic takes effect. Because colloidal silver works at a faster pace pathogens do not have the opportunity to mutate so there is no risk of immunity occurring.
How Colloidal Silver Speeds Healing
Robert O. Becker discovered how colloidal silver actually works to speed healing. Colloidal silver creates a condition in which usual cell division (mitosis) in body tissue is altered to create one duplicate cell and one dedifferentiated cell.
The dedifferentiated cell:
- Is like a blank template that can change into any type of cell in the body;
- Will naturally migrate to a part of the body where tissue damage exists;
- Once there the cell transforms to the characteristics of the local tissue type cell where it then supports normal cell repair in the injured area and will also lessen scar tissue formation.
How Colloidal Silver Works to Kill Fungus
Fungus is comprised of a series of single cells which –like a single cell bacterium; has a chemical lung that is permanently disabled by the presence of Colloidal Silver.
How Colloidal Silver Works to Kill Viruses
A single virus cells invades a living cell of body tissue and then takes over the nucleus of the living cell and alters its re-productive mechanism to reproduce the virus rather than producing what it was originally intended to produce – i.e. enzymes, hormones, and other necessary chemicals. The virus is then released into the bloodstream. When the virus attacks the cell, the living cell transforms back to a more primitive cell structure which is vulnerable to the effects of Colloidal Silver.
