Colloidal Silver - Discussion and Info

[Judee]

I have a friend who took it for severe arthritis in his hands. He was in terrible pain and his fingers were twisted and crippled. He started taking colloidal silver, and when I saw him again, he was pain free and able to use his hands to work with again. He hadn't been doing anything else. No prescription drugs or OTC things. He's a believer, and seeing what happened with him, I must say it made me one. I use it as a part of my arsenal against colds or flu. Perhaps it doesn't work on everyone, and it definitely makes a difference where you get it. There are many fradulent fakes of colloidal silver on the market.

I thought some of you may find this of interest:

HISTORY OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

The mineral known as silver has been used for healing purposes and for treating diseases as far back in recorded time as 4000 B.C. Eastern Persian records specifically mention the practice of placing water in silver vessels, and the ancient Babylonian and Greek civilizations were fully aware of silver's ability to disinfect.



Furthermore, the Romans reported the use of silver compounds for medical treatment. It continued to be used as a remedy during the Middle Ages in order to treat open wounds in battle and the Ayurvedic physicians of India continue to use it to this day.



Silverware or a silver coin was kept in the drinking water and the milk in order to prevent spoilage before the days of refrigeration. The early settlers used silver, and many people remember their grandparents placing silver dollars in milk in order to prolong its freshness at room temperature. Members of royalty were called bluebloods due to the silver content in their blood and the blueness of their skin. When eating the royalty used almost exclusively silver plates, bowls and utensils. They essentially digested large particles of silver over an extended period of time, which created a permanent discoloration of the skin, due to the excessive silver deposits. This condition is known today as Argyria.



However, there is no danger of this occurring today, as long as you are using properly prepared Colloidal Silver. (Note: The FDA has approved CSI's product because it passed all safety and efficacy manufacturing standards.) CSI has the only approved seal from the ICSC International Colloidal Silver Council (Copy upon request)



As recently as the 1930s, silver nitrate was routinely used by American hospitals in the eyes of newborn babies as a protection against blindness in case the mother had contracted a venereal disease, and is still used today in many countries. The March 1978 issue of Science Digest included an article entitled "Silver, Our Mightiest Germ Fighter", in which it stated that more than half of the world's airlines used silver water filters as the method of choice for protecting passengers from water-born diseases, including British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France. After reviewing 23 different water purification systems, NASA selected a silver-based system for the space shuttle, and Japan uses silver air purifiers. Prior to 1938, (FDA - Food & Drug Act).



Colloidal Silver was administered orally, rectally, vaginally and intravenously, or atomized into the nose, lungs and eyes, as well as topically in the form of throat gargles, eye drops and douches for the treatment of open wounds and burns. For more effective topical use, Colloidal Silver can be mixed with natural vegetable glycerin or aloe vera. Medical research has documented that Colloidal Silver promotes more rapid healing, with less scar tissue in cases involving severe burns.


Successes have been reported even in cases that have previously been unsuccessful by the medical establishment. Contemporary medical tests indicate no known adverse effects from the use of properly prepared Colloidal Silver, and there has never been a recorded case of adverse reactions or interaction with any other medication.



Silver has been employed for over 100 years against infections or infectious diseases. There are currently five different synthetic pharmaceuticals that utilize silver as one of the ingredients. Over 70% of the hospital burn units in the United States use a silver-based cream (Silvadene) as a preventative in order to treat infection in burn patients. This cream is extremely effective, has no known harmful side-effects and is non-irritating.



At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists discovered that the body's most important fluids (both the blood and lymphatic fluids) are colloidal in nature, as suspended ultra-fine particles. For example, blood transports nutrients and oxygen to the bodily cells. This scientific breakthrough in understanding paved the way towards endless possibilities for medical treatment.



Silver was already a proven and accepted germ fighter, and Colloidal Silver became the mainstay in the treatment of infectious diseases. There were varying degrees of success which, we now know, were due to silver particles being too large, thereby never attaining the optimum microscopic size necessary for its effectiveness. Another missing factor was that the silver particles must possess an electrical charge, and the results of many scientific studies and examples of its use were published in prestigious medical journals. In 1924, the first electro-colloidal silver was produced, and it proved to be far superior to what had been previously available, and was considered to be very High Tech at the time. Due to more advanced technical methods of production, today's Colloidal Silver solutions are far superior than those produced prior to 1938, and at a mere fraction of the cost.

Great information on the history of colloidal silver Alpha! It isn't some 'new age' phoney baloney, but is a tried and true remedy for many things! I consider it an invaluable addition to my protection arsenal!

I started it this week... we'll see what happens. Will it help? Don't think it will hurt...

Did you buy some or make your own Muse? Let us know how you make out with it and if you feel any difference.

This is just one of many but the main concept behind the Colladial Silver but I believe it is the monoatomic concept of the alchemy that has made it so popular. I've tried some iridium in the past but it tasted more like cotton powder than anything.

I bought this: http://www.vitacost.com/Natural-Immu...F-684088232319

Will certainly let you know if I notice anything (good or bad!)

Thanks for the link Muse

It really is very easy to do, it seems.

I haven't' yet done it myself, so I shouldn't talk, yet I saw CB doing it all the time.

The links he originally put up, still work and pretty well lays out how to do it for those so inclined and somewhat mechanical/technical.

I'll let you all know, once I get off my ass and try to do this...I have all I need here, except for the "conductors", ...my bad....

[earthist]

I don't know ANYTHING about colloidal silver. That said, I still have something to say:

Question: if antibiotics were cheap and freely available, would you take them as a preventative? Isn't that pretty much what you're doing when you take colloidal silver?

There are "good" bacteria in your gut. All I'm saying is think about what you're doing. If you want to continue, then go for it. Like I said at the start, I know NOTHING about colloidal silver.

For those of you using colloidal sivler, do be careful with the dosage!!!

Man turns BLUE after he self-medicates for a skin condition


A man who turned blue after self-medicating for a skin condition says his hue is lightening.


Paul Karason, 58, has the strange Papa Smurf look as a side effect of using a silver compound which he used more than a decade ago to treat a bad case of dermatitis on his face.


But he told NBC's Today Show that his skin is lightening because he is now using the self-administered doses of colloidal silver less.

This is not an uncommon side effect for overuse.

Colloidal silver: Natural antibiotic - Anders Sultan, Sweden



Anders Sultan is Sweden's largest colloidal silver manufacturer and has worked with colloidal silver for 12 years. In this interview Anders Sultant speaks of the healing capabilities of silver, especially in the modern form of electrically produced colloidal silver.
Silver is a powerful natural antibiotic that has been used for thousands of years. It is also beneficial in disabling the oxygen metabolism enzyme of a fungus or virus.

Ion Silver is a market leader in colloidal silver (IONOSIL), dietary supplement Lignisul MSM, feed supplements Alavis MSM, glukosaminsulfatet gluco / MAX, and hudserien EMS consisting of a cream and an ointment. We also have a silver ointment and silver lotion intended for use in animals.- from http://www.ion-silver.com/ using Google Translate
