We are big proponents of Colloidal Silver, that's no secret, we made it for many years for our own use, and have been selling it to others now for several years too, for themselves and for their pets.
CS, or more specifically EIS (Electrically Isoloated Silver) has allowed us to take control of our own health and the health of our pets, we don't need to rely on expensive "professionals" who may or may not help with the particular issue. We can save those visits for when they're really needed. Nine times out of ten, silver does the trick.
Rather than writing more about our experience myself (there's already plenty on our website written by me) I'm posting a down to earth piece of writing done by Langley T Russel of Dogs' Little Acre Home of Bulloved Bulldogs. Following that is another interesting article from the Cure Zone.
When I first heard about colloidal silver I thought it sounded more like a magic potion than a genuinely effective antimicrobial. Then, when I learned that people were making their own colloidal silver at home using something called a colloidal silver generator, my response was that this truly sounds like alchemy! Yet I was regularly hearing people recount great success in fighting bacterial, fungal, and even viral infections using colloidal silver. I was very skeptical, but decided that I must investigate and research the subject further. I bought a couple of books and started searching the Internet for information.
One of the first things I learned was that the disease fighting properties of silver have been widely known for centuries. American settlers put pieces of silver in their water barrels to keep the water “fresh”. The modern western medical and scientific communities have known of silver’s (both colloidal and other) antimicrobial effects for decades. I discovered that colloidal silver had once been widely used by the medical profession and had actually been produced by some of the big pharmaceutical companies at the time. If one looks at the medical literature prior to 1945, one will find numerous references to colloidal silver. However the popularity of colloidal silver as an antimicrobial diminished fairly rapidly with the advent and widespread use of antibiotics.
I further learned that silver, in a number of forms, is still widely used by the medical profession. A company called Argentum Medical LLC currently produces a number of wound dressings and other FDA approved and patented products under the name of “Silverlon” which use silver as an antimicrobial and tissue regrowth stimulator. Information on the company and their products can be found at silverlon.com/
Why then did the use of colloidal silver fall into disfavor? From what I’ve been able to learn, I believe that it was in part because people genuinely believed antibiotics to be true wonder drugs. They acted quickly and produced impressive results. They could be counted on to work the same way every time for virtually every person. Colloidal silver, on the other hand, was much less predictable. In many cases it too would work very quickly, often more quickly than the new antibiotics, requiring only one or two doses or applications to produce the desired result. With other patients, however, it might take many treatments over a period of days or even weeks to accomplish the same results. Combine this with the mindset of the times- anything old was reviled while all that was new was revered- and it becomes easy to see how and why colloidal silver quickly became shunned. Modernity was the new religion and scientists and engineers were its prophets.
Over the ensuing years colloidal silver became forgotten by a large part of the medical profession and buried by the big pharmaceutical companies. In their efforts to promote the superiority of their patented antibiotics, pharmaceutical companies with the help of the FDA managed to discredit colloidal silver as a viable antimicrobial.
While I do believe that the variability of performance and the variability of the product itself are in part responsible for the withholding of FDA approval (they want predictable, repeatable results with each test), I’m afraid the primary motives here were and are profit and control. It is hard for the drug companies to make a profit on a product which people can make at home for a few cents a gallon. Likewise, it’s hard for the government to control something so easily produced by the average person with equipment and supplies readily available in retail stores. So the only alternative was to withhold approval by the then-relatively new FDA, thereby effectively prohibiting the medicinal use of colloidal silver.
It has taken us half a century or more to really see the darker side of antibiotics. The over use and misuse of antibiotics have led to numerous antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Almost daily, another bacterium, which had formerly been treatable with antibiotics, is found to be resistant to treatment with “standard” antibiotics.
As a result, we are currently faced with a near epidemic of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, more virulent than those of the past, with no FDA approved methods available for fighting them. In many cases, the once very effective antibiotics will now not even slow the growth of these antibiotic-mutated “super bugs” let alone kill them. I am convinced that part of the reason for this dilemma is that for half a century or more we have had no FDA approved alternative to antibiotics for fighting bacterial infection. As a result antibiotics have been used for everything from the most minor to the most major infections.
We are also discovering that antibiotics actually have a suppressive effect on the immune system, making it harder for us to fight off infection. This, of course, leaves us more vulnerable to viral infection as well. In spite of the fact that antibiotics are ineffective against viruses, many doctors and vets regularly prescribe antibiotics when a patient is diagnosed with a viral infection. In the unlikely event that a patient or client should ask why the antibiotic was prescribed, the answer often is, “to ward off any secondary infection”. In other words the antibiotics are being prescribed prophylactically. Unfortunately this is an all too common misuse of antibiotics.
The above scenario is a good example of a situation in which CS would be a much better choice than antibiotics. If in all, or even most, of the cases where antibiotics are prescribed as a prophylactic, CS could be prescribed in its place, and an antibiotic prescribed only in the event that a bacterial infection arose despite the use of CS, we could reduce dramatically our overuse of antibiotics.
ALTERNATIVES ARE ESSENTIAL
I believe that antibiotics should be our last choice, not our first choice let alone our only choice. Unfortunately, for nearly sixty years now, doctors have not been allowed to prescribe or even recommend CS as an alternative to antibiotics for any level of bacterial infection. As a result, of course, antibiotics are being prescribed for everything. It is becoming increasingly obvious that some alternative/s—not a replacement, rather a genuine alternative—to pharmaceutical antibiotics is needed if we are to be able to continue to fight infection and maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics when genuinely needed.
As a result of the epidemic of antibiotic resistant bacteria, colloidal silver and a few other silver-based products are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. While colloidal silver is primarily being used and recommended by “alternative practitioners”, the mainstream medical and scientific community are also beginning to reexamine the value of colloidal silver.
A recent study done at Brigham Young University, but not sponsored by them, shows quite conclusively that colloidal silver is a very effective antimicrobial. The researchers were quite enthusiastic in their support for colloidal silver, saying.“The following results suggest that American Silver’s ASAP solution” (A commercially made 10ppm coloidal silver product LTR) “is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent--it is able to effectively stop the growth of, and in fact kill, a variety of bacteria.” The lack of FDA approval, not a lack of efficacy, prevents wider use of colloidal silver by the mainstream medical community, both human and veterinary.
That study by done by professors and researchers at Brigham Young University, though not sponsored by BYU, points up another advantage of colloidal silver over pharmaceutical antibiotics. Whereas antibiotics are relatively specific in their effectiveness, different ones being needed for different bacteria, colloidal silver is effective against a very wide range of bacteria, including those which have become antibiotic resistant. In addition, colloidal silver is also effective against fungal and viral infections against which antibiotics have no effect.
After evaluating all the information, and many online discussions with people who claim great success in treating various infections using colloidal silver, I decided the only thing left for me was to test it for myself. I decided that on our next trip to the health food store I would get a bottle of colloidal silver and try it the next time one of our dogs showed signs of an infection.
As it turned out, before I could get to the health food store, Emma, one of our bitches, started showing signs of some kind of eye problem. On a Friday morning we noticed that she was squinting her right eye and blinking excessively. By the next morning her eye was completely closed and she was squinting and blinking excessively with the other. We also noted that a second bitch had started showing the symptoms of squinting and blinking.
A LIFE ALTERING EXPERIMENT
That morning we drove the thirty-five miles to the health food store and bought some 50-ppm CS, the only variety they had. By the time we got back home it was mid-afternoon and the second bitch would now open one eye only slightly and the excessive blinking continued. We put a couple of drops of CS in the still closed eye of the one bitch and her other eye as well. We did the same with the other bitch who, as I said, was by now showing somewhat more severe symptoms of this apparent eye infection. We dosed the entire pack in a similar manner as a preventive measure thinking it was probably something contagious. We repeated the treatment for all of them just before bed that same night. The next morning all symptoms had disappeared except for a slight tendency of the more symptomatic of the two bitches to squint slightly. We continued putting one or two drops of CS in everybody's eyes twice a day for three days by which time all symptoms had disappeared.
I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of it when contemplating or when buying the CS, but as usual my attention was centered on the dogs. However after having the CS for a week or more it dawned on me that I had a persistent ear infection which had been bothering me for months. I would awaken with fluid build up in my ears, and experienced itching of the outer ear as well. I started putting CS into my ears that morning, about a half a dropper full in one ear and letting it sit for a few minutes then doing the same with the other ear. I repeated this treatment late in the day. I continued this for three days adding a midday treatment as well . By the end of that time one ear had cleared up completely. The other ear continued to give me some problems so I continued the treatment for the rest of the week. By the end of the week both ears were free of any symptoms of the infection. I was convinced. Colloidal silver does indeed work.
Like Langley, we've found CS to be highly effective, and the longer we use it, the more uses we find for it. It's our first line of defense for virtually any illness, as it does no harm and usually helps. So far the only thing CS has not helped with is cancer. We and our clientele have found CS effective for the following uses:
-colds (use as a nasal spray), flu, digestive upsets, topically on any wound, incision, ulcer, burn, or abrasion, gargle for sore throat, counter spray, vegetable soak, earaches, peridontal disease, tooth decay, athlete's foot, a deodorant, diarrhrea, cut flower preservative, the list keeps getting longer!
The thing we like most about it is there are no side effects, no resistance developed, and it's not toxic. It's also a lot less expensive than most of the drugs it replaces.

Colloidal Silver
News Article written by Marvin Robey: A Safe and Simple Treatment for Aids
The Herald of Provo Utah, February 2, 1992, ran an article on Pg. D1, in which a member of the administrative staff of Brigham Young University by the name of Daryl Tichy has been successfully experimenting with colloidal silver in the treatment of AIDS, along with warts and parvo virus in a dog. "Tichy said he had the material [colloidal silver] tested at two different labs; results showed the solution killed a variety of pathogens, including the HIV virus." Tichy then states, "I don't have a doubt in my mind." He says he has not been able to obtain funds to continue his research.
This should not be a surprise, considering what other researchers have been telling us. There is much more evidence to support Tichy's conclusion. Extensive evidence points to the fact that colloidal silver destroys all types of virii including the AIDS virus and greatly enhances the immune system in general. Colloidal Silver supports the T-cells in their fight against foreign organisms in the blood. It virtually forms a second immune system, actually protecting and defending the T-cells, as well as doing their work for them. It is strongly suggested by research scientists such as Dr. Gary Smith and others that silver ions are essential to the immune system.
In "Use of Colloids in Health and Disease", author Dr. Henry Crooks says colloidal silver is highly anti-viral. In laboratory tests he found that "all fungus, virii, bacterium, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and other pathogenic organisms are killed in three or four minutes. In fact, there is no microbe known that is not killed by colloidal silver in six minutes or less in a dilution as little as five parts per million." Dr. Crooks tells us there are no serious side effects whatsoever from high concentrations. Research scientist Dr. Gary Smith reports that he has noticed a correlation between low silver levels, sickness and immune deficiency. He found people who have low silver levels tend to be frequently sick and to have innumerable colds, flu's, fevers, and other illnesses. The research of Dr. Gary Smith would seem to support the belief that colloidal silver is an entirely natural healing agent.
HIV and AIDS are a two sided medical condition. First is the HIV virus, which attacks the immune system. Second are the main outward effects, the conditions resulting from the weakened immune system. Research evidence shows that Colloidal Silver is a two edged sword. It attacks the HIV virus directly and effectively, and then forms virtually its own immune system to ward off the various health problems the immune system has not been able to handle.
Parasites are being recognised more and more as a cause of failing health. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D., author of "The Cure for All Cancers" and "The Cure for HIV and AIDS", tells us that neither cancer nor HIV can exist without parasites and that if we eliminate the parasites, the disease will be gone. Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4 says: "Parasites are also killed [by colloidal silver], as they have an egg-stage in their reproductive cycle, which is one celled and therefore killed in six minutes or less." In as much as there are many kinds of parasites, this may be inconclusive. However, tests have shown that mosquito larva are effectively killed by colloidal silver. It should be remembered that to rid oneself of parasites by killing the eggs or larvae means that one must continue the treatment until all of the adults die, probably of old age. More research is needed. But if the AIDS or Cancer and other conditions can be effectively treated with colloidal silver, then any effects on parasites is a free benefit.
In as much as AIDS is the result of a virtually destroyed immune system, it would be surprising to find that colloidal silver did not have a dramatic effect on AIDS. AIDS is a viral disease, and antibiotics seldom have any effect on any virus, but the colloidal silver ion is highly effective. The evidence strongly supports the theory that colloidal silver is highly effective against all strains of virus, curing even the common cold in one dose. Where many drugs on the market suppress certain symptoms of a cold, colloidal silver is said to kill off the virus that causes it to hang on. AIDS, like all other viral infections, is unaffected by antibiotics, which each kill off only a few strains of bacteria and none are effective against the virus, yeast's, or fungi. Yet, researchers are telling us that colloidal silver is highly effective against all of these.
One serious condition typical of AIDS is rapid ageing. Ageing is generally considered as due to a slowing down of the body's ability to replace worn out cells fast enough. This slowing down begins by the time of adulthood and continues into old age. In "Report: Colloidal Silver, Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4, it is stated that "Silver aids the developing foetus in growth, health, and eases the delivery and recovery." If colloidal silver aids the growth of a foetus so noticeably, will it reduce the ageing process? From the research of Dr. Becker, it would seem colloidal silver will produce the dedifferentiated cells necessary to prevent this slowdown of cell replacement. It is probable that the weakened immune system is incapable of producing the undifferentiated cells necessary to rebuild worn out cells. Colloidal silver produced the needed cells to make this possible. All of this is being discovered and rediscovered at the same time that disease bacterium are developing immunity to modern antibiotics.
Furthermore, immunity to the antibiotics seems to be developing all over the world, even in isolated areas. The medical profession is alarmed. Can silver save us? Many authorities think so!
COLLOIDAL SILVER VERSUS BACTERIA AND VIRUSES
As single celled creatures called bacteria use a common type enzyme or 'chemical lung" for their oxygen metabolism, the presence of colloidal silver cripples the enzyme, therefore causing the organism to suffocate. Any and all bacteria are therefore killed within the 6-minute time frame, without causing any adverse effect on the surrounding tissue cells. Dr Becker also states in his book: "Positive silver kills all types of bacteria". This is exiting, because no other single antibiotic works against all types of bacteria. Positive silver, however, offers several advantages over previous forms. There are no ions besides silver to burden tide tissues. It works against all types of bacteria and viruses, even killing antibiotic resistant strains as well as all fungal infections. "
To carry the fight to fungal infection, one must firstly understand fungal growths. A fungus is a series of single cells that have small tubes of the material from which the cell is made, which stretches between the cell walls.
Whether more linear in its spread and expand mode or, alternatively, more like a fabric in its reproductive mode, a fungus will still exhibit that characteristic of any one celled bacterium, that particular type of chemical lung, which is almost completely and permanently disabled by the presence of colloidal silver in the body, as the silver suffocates the organism.
HOW IT WORKS AGAINST VIRUSES
A single virus will invade a living cell within the body tissue. Then the insidious pathogen will take over the nucleus of the cell and alter it's production and reproduction mechanism to replicate the virus instead of the enzyme, hormone, or other chemical that the body would normally have produced for itself within that cell.
Later, the newly produced virus will be released from that cell and into the blood stream. However, another very interesting thing takes place. As the virus affects the cell for its own purposes, part of the response of that living cell is that it reverts back to a more primitive form of cell structure and chemistry. The oxygen metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung in the cell wall, reverts as well.
This more primitive form of enzyme is vulnerable to the effects of colloidal silver. The catalyst effect of the colloidal silver simply being in close proximity to the enzyme of this cell results in the enzyme becoming permanently disabled. It cannot function to bring oxygen into the cell, and the virus producing cell dies by suffocation.
COLLOlDAL SlLVER AND HIV
HlV is caused by a particular type of virus. This virus attacks and invades a single tissue cell and takes over the operation of the cell's reproductive mechanism. Part of the cells response to this viral attack is for the cell to revert back to a different primitive one celled type of enzyme or chemical lung, the kind that is crippled by the presence of colloidal silver, The cell then suffocates and dies and, as it is no longer useful to the body, it is flushed out.
The colloidal silver has killed the mutated cell, virus and all. C' Silver kills ALL viruses, precluding future mutations as it also kills the HIV virus-invaded cell within minutes. As a catalyst, colloidal silver is not affected in the reaction, and it continues to kill any other single celled pathogen that is in its presence.
COLLOIDAL SILVER AS A PREVENTATIVE SUBSTANCE
As a preventative, colloidal silver is unsurpassed. Sufficient colloidal silver taken daily precludes infection, viruses, disease, contagion outbreak and serious burn toxicity. The daily ingestion of colloidal silver is like having a second immune system. It lessens the load on the body's natural immune system, and effectively kills the many thousands of viruses and bacteria that are present throughout the body.
In addition, it lessens the toxicity due to the average amount of virus and bacterial activity that occurs naturally in the body. However, tests have shown that, due to the high absorption of silver into the small intestine, the "friendly bacteria in the large intestine are unaffected".
This "second immune system" acts parallel to, and independent of, the body's own first line of defence, which is a major advantage in warding off outbreaks of influenza or other germ, plaque or pestilence. By taking colloidal silver at the correct dose rate is to have protection that is unsurpassed against serious burn toxicity.
Severe burn cases, such as from a house fire or motor accident, will have a much greater survival rate than those who do not take colloidal silver before such a catastrophe. Often, people who survive such horrific injuries later die of complications that occur some days, even weeks after the injury is sustained.
This is because several of the body's systems become overloaded and cannot cope. Colloidal silver has proven to be extremely effective in helping the body's immune system and sustained in the fire or accident.
With reference to the healing powers of colloidal silver, an American surgeon, Dr William Stewart Halstedwrote in 1913, after referring to the age old practice of placing pure silver wire in and around wounds. "I know of nothing that could take its place, nor have I known anyone to abandon it who has thoroughly familiarised him or herself with the technique of its employment. We may have only scratched the surface of tale medical brilliance of silver. Already it is an amazing tool, as it stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most stubborn infections, and stimulates healing of skin tissue. "
SOME ESTABLISHED USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER Below is a list of diseases colloidal silver will successfully treat. This is a partial list, as there are over 650 in all. Acne- Aids - allergies - appendicitis - arthritis - athletes foot - bladder infection - blood parasites - blood poisoning- boils - burns - cancer - candida - chronic fatigue - colitis - conjunctivitis - cystitis - dandruff- dermatitis - diabetes - diphtheria - eczema - gastro-enteritis - gonorrhoea - hayfever- hepatitis - herpes - impetigo - indigestion - keratitus - leprosy - leukaemia - malaria - meningitis - neurasthenia - parasitic infection - pneumonia - prostate infection - pruritis ani - psoriasis - rheumatics - rhinitis - ring worm - scarlet fever - septic conditions - seborreah septicaemia - shingles - staph and streptococcal - ulcers - viruses - warts - yeast infections etc..
The above may be an impressive array of nasty viruses and diseases, but they are but a few that form a much larger group. Colloidal silver can also be applied directly to open wounds and sores to eliminate infection. It does not sting, burn or smart in any way. Other antiseptics sting when applied to a wound because they are killing the surrounding wall tissue cells, as well as attempting to kill the germs. Colloidal silver will not harm the surrounding cells or tissue. After washing the face thoroughly, colloidal silver may be used as the only medication or, in amount each day, the affliction will disappear. On open wounds, colloidal silver may be used as the only medication or, in conjunction with other medication. Just sprinkle the colloidal silver over the effected area and bandage. This application is also good for the removal of warts.
INTERNAL USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER
Optimum digestion
Place 5ml of colloidal silver, or as determined by titration, into a beverage of your choice accompanying your meal. As the food is digested, the presence of colloidal silver will keep the food from putrefying in the digestive tract, while killing all germs ingested with the food. There will be no flatulence with this method.
Parasitic infections
By ingesting the correct quantities of colloidal silver, is to preclude parasitic diseases caused by the tiny worm like parasites that can burrow through particular organs. In all cases, these parasites reproduce by laying eggs.
These eggs have the same characteristics as do the oxygen metabolising enzyme of the single cells bacteria. These eggs are unable to hatch when in the presence of colloidal silver. and are subsequently destroyed and eliminated by the immune system.
Diarrhoea diseases
A number of diseases such as cholera, canine parvovirus or other diseases where the pathogen resides in the large intestine are normally fatal, mostly due to the dehydration resulting from severe and prolonged diarrhoea and vomiting. The pathogen causing the problem is active in the large intestine, the one place where colloidal silver, when used in normal dose rates, will not penetrate.
However if one drinks four ounces of colloidal silver With three or four large glasses of water on an empty stomach, the colloidal silver will penetrate the large intestinal tract and will very quickly take care of the problem. Cholera has been cured in this way.
Healing crisis
This is a condition wherein the colloidal silver is killing the pathogens very quickly. The body's five eliminatory systems (kidneys, liver, skin, bowel, and lungs) become temporarily overloaded. This is especially true when overcoming HIV with colloidal silver. One may feel lethargic and dozy due to this rapid action. Continue the regimen, but drink up to four litres of water per day together with up to 6 grams of Vitamin C.
UNDERSTANDING THE COLLOIDAL STATE
Most chemistry books have a chapter on the colloidal state as if it were a special case. Actually the colloidal state is the only state for all living things. Within water, the chemical elements of life occur in a flux of halves, or opposing electrical pairs always in motion and swapping these molecular halves in complete chemical reactions that are the process of growth and repair. In this flux of the body's fluids are the germ pathogens, whose own molecular pairs interact with those of the body as they strive to survive.
They are all parasites that attack and eat the body cells of the host, dumping their wastes into the surrounding tissues and blood stream. When in this fluid flux, there is an electrically charged ion or micro-particle of colloidal silver, it selects from among the tissue cells of the body only those disease causing pathogens and suffocates them, catalytically, simply by being there, then, unaffected, drifts on to repeat the process again and again.
The crystalline state is the condition of dry dead things. Most medications are in a crystalline state. The body must convert them to a colloidal state before they can be used. There is some expense to the body in time, energy and effectiveness. In the process there are molecular pieces left over that burden the body with their need to be eliminated. In the case of colloidal silver, nothing is led. Several decades of clinical use of Silver have been proven in the treatment of burns, and for eye, ear, nose, throat, vaginal, rectal and urinary tract infections. Silver has been prescribed in medicine as an aid to the brain, reproductive disorders in women and the circulatory system. It has been used as a remedy for mental imbalances, sleepwalking and anorexia nervosa. News Article written by Marvin Robey:

We can save those visits for when they're really needed. Nine times out of ten, silver does the trick.
Rather than writing more about our experience myself (there's already plenty on our website written by me) I'm posting a down to earth piece of writing done by Langley T Russel of Dogs' Little Acre Home of Bulloved Bulldogs. Following that is another interesting article from the Cure Zone.
When I first heard about colloidal silver I thought it sounded more like a magic potion than a genuinely effective antimicrobial. Then, when I learned that people were making their own colloidal silver at home using something called a colloidal silver generator, my response was that this truly sounds like alchemy! Yet I was regularly hearing people recount great success in fighting bacterial, fungal, and even viral infections using colloidal silver. I was very skeptical, but decided that I must investigate and research the subject further. I bought a couple of books and started searching the Internet for information.
One of the first things I learned was that the disease fighting properties of silver have been widely known for centuries. American settlers put pieces of silver in their water barrels to keep the water “fresh”. The modern western medical and scientific communities have known of silver’s (both colloidal and other) antimicrobial effects for decades. I discovered that colloidal silver had once been widely used by the medical profession and had actually been produced by some of the big pharmaceutical companies at the time. If one looks at the medical literature prior to 1945, one will find numerous references to colloidal silver. However the popularity of colloidal silver as an antimicrobial diminished fairly rapidly with the advent and widespread use of antibiotics.
I further learned that silver, in a number of forms, is still widely used by the medical profession. A company called Argentum Medical LLC currently produces a number of wound dressings and other FDA approved and patented products under the name of “Silverlon” which use silver as an antimicrobial and tissue regrowth stimulator. Information on the company and their products can be found at silverlon.com/
Why then did the use of colloidal silver fall into disfavor? From what I’ve been able to learn, I believe that it was in part because people genuinely believed antibiotics to be true wonder drugs. They acted quickly and produced impressive results. They could be counted on to work the same way every time for virtually every person. Colloidal silver, on the other hand, was much less predictable. In many cases it too would work very quickly, often more quickly than the new antibiotics, requiring only one or two doses or applications to produce the desired result. With other patients, however, it might take many treatments over a period of days or even weeks to accomplish the same results. Combine this with the mindset of the times- anything old was reviled while all that was new was revered- and it becomes easy to see how and why colloidal silver quickly became shunned. Modernity was the new religion and scientists and engineers were its prophets.
Over the ensuing years colloidal silver became forgotten by a large part of the medical profession and buried by the big pharmaceutical companies. In their efforts to promote the superiority of their patented antibiotics, pharmaceutical companies with the help of the FDA managed to discredit colloidal silver as a viable antimicrobial.
While I do believe that the variability of performance and the variability of the product itself are in part responsible for the withholding of FDA approval (they want predictable, repeatable results with each test), I’m afraid the primary motives here were and are profit and control. It is hard for the drug companies to make a profit on a product which people can make at home for a few cents a gallon. Likewise, it’s hard for the government to control something so easily produced by the average person with equipment and supplies readily available in retail stores. So the only alternative was to withhold approval by the then-relatively new FDA, thereby effectively prohibiting the medicinal use of colloidal silver.
It has taken us half a century or more to really see the darker side of antibiotics. The over use and misuse of antibiotics have led to numerous antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Almost daily, another bacterium, which had formerly been treatable with antibiotics, is found to be resistant to treatment with “standard” antibiotics.
As a result, we are currently faced with a near epidemic of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, more virulent than those of the past, with no FDA approved methods available for fighting them. In many cases, the once very effective antibiotics will now not even slow the growth of these antibiotic-mutated “super bugs” let alone kill them. I am convinced that part of the reason for this dilemma is that for half a century or more we have had no FDA approved alternative to antibiotics for fighting bacterial infection. As a result antibiotics have been used for everything from the most minor to the most major infections.
We are also discovering that antibiotics actually have a suppressive effect on the immune system, making it harder for us to fight off infection. This, of course, leaves us more vulnerable to viral infection as well. In spite of the fact that antibiotics are ineffective against viruses, many doctors and vets regularly prescribe antibiotics when a patient is diagnosed with a viral infection. In the unlikely event that a patient or client should ask why the antibiotic was prescribed, the answer often is, “to ward off any secondary infection”. In other words the antibiotics are being prescribed prophylactically. Unfortunately this is an all too common misuse of antibiotics.
The above scenario is a good example of a situation in which CS would be a much better choice than antibiotics. If in all, or even most, of the cases where antibiotics are prescribed as a prophylactic, CS could be prescribed in its place, and an antibiotic prescribed only in the event that a bacterial infection arose despite the use of CS, we could reduce dramatically our overuse of antibiotics.
ALTERNATIVES ARE ESSENTIAL
I believe that antibiotics should be our last choice, not our first choice let alone our only choice. Unfortunately, for nearly sixty years now, doctors have not been allowed to prescribe or even recommend CS as an alternative to antibiotics for any level of bacterial infection. As a result, of course, antibiotics are being prescribed for everything. It is becoming increasingly obvious that some alternative/s—not a replacement, rather a genuine alternative—to pharmaceutical antibiotics is needed if we are to be able to continue to fight infection and maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics when genuinely needed.
As a result of the epidemic of antibiotic resistant bacteria, colloidal silver and a few other silver-based products are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. While colloidal silver is primarily being used and recommended by “alternative practitioners”, the mainstream medical and scientific community are also beginning to reexamine the value of colloidal silver.
A recent study done at Brigham Young University, but not sponsored by them, shows quite conclusively that colloidal silver is a very effective antimicrobial. The researchers were quite enthusiastic in their support for colloidal silver, saying.“The following results suggest that American Silver’s ASAP solution” (A commercially made 10ppm coloidal silver product LTR) “is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent--it is able to effectively stop the growth of, and in fact kill, a variety of bacteria.” The lack of FDA approval, not a lack of efficacy, prevents wider use of colloidal silver by the mainstream medical community, both human and veterinary.
That study by done by professors and researchers at Brigham Young University, though not sponsored by BYU, points up another advantage of colloidal silver over pharmaceutical antibiotics. Whereas antibiotics are relatively specific in their effectiveness, different ones being needed for different bacteria, colloidal silver is effective against a very wide range of bacteria, including those which have become antibiotic resistant. In addition, colloidal silver is also effective against fungal and viral infections against which antibiotics have no effect.
After evaluating all the information, and many online discussions with people who claim great success in treating various infections using colloidal silver, I decided the only thing left for me was to test it for myself. I decided that on our next trip to the health food store I would get a bottle of colloidal silver and try it the next time one of our dogs showed signs of an infection.
As it turned out, before I could get to the health food store, Emma, one of our bitches, started showing signs of some kind of eye problem. On a Friday morning we noticed that she was squinting her right eye and blinking excessively. By the next morning her eye was completely closed and she was squinting and blinking excessively with the other. We also noted that a second bitch had started showing the symptoms of squinting and blinking.
A LIFE ALTERING EXPERIMENT
That morning we drove the thirty-five miles to the health food store and bought some 50-ppm CS, the only variety they had. By the time we got back home it was mid-afternoon and the second bitch would now open one eye only slightly and the excessive blinking continued. We put a couple of drops of CS in the still closed eye of the one bitch and her other eye as well. We did the same with the other bitch who, as I said, was by now showing somewhat more severe symptoms of this apparent eye infection. We dosed the entire pack in a similar manner as a preventive measure thinking it was probably something contagious. We repeated the treatment for all of them just before bed that same night. The next morning all symptoms had disappeared except for a slight tendency of the more symptomatic of the two bitches to squint slightly. We continued putting one or two drops of CS in everybody's eyes twice a day for three days by which time all symptoms had disappeared.
I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of it when contemplating or when buying the CS, but as usual my attention was centered on the dogs. However after having the CS for a week or more it dawned on me that I had a persistent ear infection which had been bothering me for months. I would awaken with fluid build up in my ears, and experienced itching of the outer ear as well. I started putting CS into my ears that morning, about a half a dropper full in one ear and letting it sit for a few minutes then doing the same with the other ear. I repeated this treatment late in the day. I continued this for three days adding a midday treatment as well . By the end of that time one ear had cleared up completely. The other ear continued to give me some problems so I continued the treatment for the rest of the week. By the end of the week both ears were free of any symptoms of the infection. I was convinced. Colloidal silver does indeed work.
Like Langley, we've found CS to be highly effective, and the longer we use it, the more uses we find for it. It's our first line of defense for virtually any illness, as it does no harm and usually helps. So far the only thing CS has not helped with is cancer. We and our clientele have found CS effective for the following uses:
-colds (use as a nasal spray), flu, digestive upsets, topically on any wound, incision, ulcer, burn, or abrasion, gargle for sore throat, counter spray, vegetable soak, earaches, peridontal disease, tooth decay, athlete's foot, a deodorant, diarrhrea, cut flower preservative, the list keeps getting longer!
The thing we like most about it is there are no side effects, no resistance developed, and it's not toxic. It's also a lot less expensive than most of the drugs it replaces.

Colloidal Silver
News Article written by Marvin Robey: A Safe and Simple Treatment for Aids
The Herald of Provo Utah, February 2, 1992, ran an article on Pg. D1, in which a member of the administrative staff of Brigham Young University by the name of Daryl Tichy has been successfully experimenting with colloidal silver in the treatment of AIDS, along with warts and parvo virus in a dog. "Tichy said he had the material [colloidal silver] tested at two different labs; results showed the solution killed a variety of pathogens, including the HIV virus." Tichy then states, "I don't have a doubt in my mind." He says he has not been able to obtain funds to continue his research.
This should not be a surprise, considering what other researchers have been telling us. There is much more evidence to support Tichy's conclusion. Extensive evidence points to the fact that colloidal silver destroys all types of virii including the AIDS virus and greatly enhances the immune system in general. Colloidal Silver supports the T-cells in their fight against foreign organisms in the blood. It virtually forms a second immune system, actually protecting and defending the T-cells, as well as doing their work for them. It is strongly suggested by research scientists such as Dr. Gary Smith and others that silver ions are essential to the immune system.
In "Use of Colloids in Health and Disease", author Dr. Henry Crooks says colloidal silver is highly anti-viral. In laboratory tests he found that "all fungus, virii, bacterium, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and other pathogenic organisms are killed in three or four minutes. In fact, there is no microbe known that is not killed by colloidal silver in six minutes or less in a dilution as little as five parts per million." Dr. Crooks tells us there are no serious side effects whatsoever from high concentrations. Research scientist Dr. Gary Smith reports that he has noticed a correlation between low silver levels, sickness and immune deficiency. He found people who have low silver levels tend to be frequently sick and to have innumerable colds, flu's, fevers, and other illnesses. The research of Dr. Gary Smith would seem to support the belief that colloidal silver is an entirely natural healing agent.
HIV and AIDS are a two sided medical condition. First is the HIV virus, which attacks the immune system. Second are the main outward effects, the conditions resulting from the weakened immune system. Research evidence shows that Colloidal Silver is a two edged sword. It attacks the HIV virus directly and effectively, and then forms virtually its own immune system to ward off the various health problems the immune system has not been able to handle.
Parasites are being recognised more and more as a cause of failing health. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D., author of "The Cure for All Cancers" and "The Cure for HIV and AIDS", tells us that neither cancer nor HIV can exist without parasites and that if we eliminate the parasites, the disease will be gone. Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4 says: "Parasites are also killed [by colloidal silver], as they have an egg-stage in their reproductive cycle, which is one celled and therefore killed in six minutes or less." In as much as there are many kinds of parasites, this may be inconclusive. However, tests have shown that mosquito larva are effectively killed by colloidal silver. It should be remembered that to rid oneself of parasites by killing the eggs or larvae means that one must continue the treatment until all of the adults die, probably of old age. More research is needed. But if the AIDS or Cancer and other conditions can be effectively treated with colloidal silver, then any effects on parasites is a free benefit.
In as much as AIDS is the result of a virtually destroyed immune system, it would be surprising to find that colloidal silver did not have a dramatic effect on AIDS. AIDS is a viral disease, and antibiotics seldom have any effect on any virus, but the colloidal silver ion is highly effective. The evidence strongly supports the theory that colloidal silver is highly effective against all strains of virus, curing even the common cold in one dose. Where many drugs on the market suppress certain symptoms of a cold, colloidal silver is said to kill off the virus that causes it to hang on. AIDS, like all other viral infections, is unaffected by antibiotics, which each kill off only a few strains of bacteria and none are effective against the virus, yeast's, or fungi. Yet, researchers are telling us that colloidal silver is highly effective against all of these.
One serious condition typical of AIDS is rapid ageing. Ageing is generally considered as due to a slowing down of the body's ability to replace worn out cells fast enough. This slowing down begins by the time of adulthood and continues into old age. In "Report: Colloidal Silver, Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4, it is stated that "Silver aids the developing foetus in growth, health, and eases the delivery and recovery." If colloidal silver aids the growth of a foetus so noticeably, will it reduce the ageing process? From the research of Dr. Becker, it would seem colloidal silver will produce the dedifferentiated cells necessary to prevent this slowdown of cell replacement. It is probable that the weakened immune system is incapable of producing the undifferentiated cells necessary to rebuild worn out cells. Colloidal silver produced the needed cells to make this possible. All of this is being discovered and rediscovered at the same time that disease bacterium are developing immunity to modern antibiotics.
Furthermore, immunity to the antibiotics seems to be developing all over the world, even in isolated areas. The medical profession is alarmed. Can silver save us? Many authorities think so!
COLLOIDAL SILVER VERSUS BACTERIA AND VIRUSES
As single celled creatures called bacteria use a common type enzyme or 'chemical lung" for their oxygen metabolism, the presence of colloidal silver cripples the enzyme, therefore causing the organism to suffocate. Any and all bacteria are therefore killed within the 6-minute time frame, without causing any adverse effect on the surrounding tissue cells. Dr Becker also states in his book: "Positive silver kills all types of bacteria". This is exiting, because no other single antibiotic works against all types of bacteria. Positive silver, however, offers several advantages over previous forms. There are no ions besides silver to burden tide tissues. It works against all types of bacteria and viruses, even killing antibiotic resistant strains as well as all fungal infections. "
To carry the fight to fungal infection, one must firstly understand fungal growths. A fungus is a series of single cells that have small tubes of the material from which the cell is made, which stretches between the cell walls.
Whether more linear in its spread and expand mode or, alternatively, more like a fabric in its reproductive mode, a fungus will still exhibit that characteristic of any one celled bacterium, that particular type of chemical lung, which is almost completely and permanently disabled by the presence of colloidal silver in the body, as the silver suffocates the organism.
HOW IT WORKS AGAINST VIRUSES
A single virus will invade a living cell within the body tissue. Then the insidious pathogen will take over the nucleus of the cell and alter it's production and reproduction mechanism to replicate the virus instead of the enzyme, hormone, or other chemical that the body would normally have produced for itself within that cell.
Later, the newly produced virus will be released from that cell and into the blood stream. However, another very interesting thing takes place. As the virus affects the cell for its own purposes, part of the response of that living cell is that it reverts back to a more primitive form of cell structure and chemistry. The oxygen metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung in the cell wall, reverts as well.
This more primitive form of enzyme is vulnerable to the effects of colloidal silver. The catalyst effect of the colloidal silver simply being in close proximity to the enzyme of this cell results in the enzyme becoming permanently disabled. It cannot function to bring oxygen into the cell, and the virus producing cell dies by suffocation.
COLLOlDAL SlLVER AND HIV
HlV is caused by a particular type of virus. This virus attacks and invades a single tissue cell and takes over the operation of the cell's reproductive mechanism. Part of the cells response to this viral attack is for the cell to revert back to a different primitive one celled type of enzyme or chemical lung, the kind that is crippled by the presence of colloidal silver, The cell then suffocates and dies and, as it is no longer useful to the body, it is flushed out.
The colloidal silver has killed the mutated cell, virus and all. C' Silver kills ALL viruses, precluding future mutations as it also kills the HIV virus-invaded cell within minutes. As a catalyst, colloidal silver is not affected in the reaction, and it continues to kill any other single celled pathogen that is in its presence.
COLLOIDAL SILVER AS A PREVENTATIVE SUBSTANCE
As a preventative, colloidal silver is unsurpassed. Sufficient colloidal silver taken daily precludes infection, viruses, disease, contagion outbreak and serious burn toxicity. The daily ingestion of colloidal silver is like having a second immune system. It lessens the load on the body's natural immune system, and effectively kills the many thousands of viruses and bacteria that are present throughout the body.
In addition, it lessens the toxicity due to the average amount of virus and bacterial activity that occurs naturally in the body. However, tests have shown that, due to the high absorption of silver into the small intestine, the "friendly bacteria in the large intestine are unaffected".
This "second immune system" acts parallel to, and independent of, the body's own first line of defence, which is a major advantage in warding off outbreaks of influenza or other germ, plaque or pestilence. By taking colloidal silver at the correct dose rate is to have protection that is unsurpassed against serious burn toxicity.
Severe burn cases, such as from a house fire or motor accident, will have a much greater survival rate than those who do not take colloidal silver before such a catastrophe. Often, people who survive such horrific injuries later die of complications that occur some days, even weeks after the injury is sustained.
This is because several of the body's systems become overloaded and cannot cope. Colloidal silver has proven to be extremely effective in helping the body's immune system and sustained in the fire or accident.
With reference to the healing powers of colloidal silver, an American surgeon, Dr William Stewart Halstedwrote in 1913, after referring to the age old practice of placing pure silver wire in and around wounds. "I know of nothing that could take its place, nor have I known anyone to abandon it who has thoroughly familiarised him or herself with the technique of its employment. We may have only scratched the surface of tale medical brilliance of silver. Already it is an amazing tool, as it stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most stubborn infections, and stimulates healing of skin tissue. "
SOME ESTABLISHED USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER Below is a list of diseases colloidal silver will successfully treat. This is a partial list, as there are over 650 in all. Acne- Aids - allergies - appendicitis - arthritis - athletes foot - bladder infection - blood parasites - blood poisoning- boils - burns - cancer - candida - chronic fatigue - colitis - conjunctivitis - cystitis - dandruff- dermatitis - diabetes - diphtheria - eczema - gastro-enteritis - gonorrhoea - hayfever- hepatitis - herpes - impetigo - indigestion - keratitus - leprosy - leukaemia - malaria - meningitis - neurasthenia - parasitic infection - pneumonia - prostate infection - pruritis ani - psoriasis - rheumatics - rhinitis - ring worm - scarlet fever - septic conditions - seborreah septicaemia - shingles - staph and streptococcal - ulcers - viruses - warts - yeast infections etc..
The above may be an impressive array of nasty viruses and diseases, but they are but a few that form a much larger group. Colloidal silver can also be applied directly to open wounds and sores to eliminate infection. It does not sting, burn or smart in any way. Other antiseptics sting when applied to a wound because they are killing the surrounding wall tissue cells, as well as attempting to kill the germs. Colloidal silver will not harm the surrounding cells or tissue. After washing the face thoroughly, colloidal silver may be used as the only medication or, in amount each day, the affliction will disappear. On open wounds, colloidal silver may be used as the only medication or, in conjunction with other medication. Just sprinkle the colloidal silver over the effected area and bandage. This application is also good for the removal of warts.
INTERNAL USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER
Optimum digestion
Place 5ml of colloidal silver, or as determined by titration, into a beverage of your choice accompanying your meal. As the food is digested, the presence of colloidal silver will keep the food from putrefying in the digestive tract, while killing all germs ingested with the food. There will be no flatulence with this method.
Parasitic infections
By ingesting the correct quantities of colloidal silver, is to preclude parasitic diseases caused by the tiny worm like parasites that can burrow through particular organs. In all cases, these parasites reproduce by laying eggs.
These eggs have the same characteristics as do the oxygen metabolising enzyme of the single cells bacteria. These eggs are unable to hatch when in the presence of colloidal silver. and are subsequently destroyed and eliminated by the immune system.
Diarrhoea diseases
A number of diseases such as cholera, canine parvovirus or other diseases where the pathogen resides in the large intestine are normally fatal, mostly due to the dehydration resulting from severe and prolonged diarrhoea and vomiting. The pathogen causing the problem is active in the large intestine, the one place where colloidal silver, when used in normal dose rates, will not penetrate.
However if one drinks four ounces of colloidal silver With three or four large glasses of water on an empty stomach, the colloidal silver will penetrate the large intestinal tract and will very quickly take care of the problem. Cholera has been cured in this way.
Healing crisis
This is a condition wherein the colloidal silver is killing the pathogens very quickly. The body's five eliminatory systems (kidneys, liver, skin, bowel, and lungs) become temporarily overloaded. This is especially true when overcoming HIV with colloidal silver. One may feel lethargic and dozy due to this rapid action. Continue the regimen, but drink up to four litres of water per day together with up to 6 grams of Vitamin C.
UNDERSTANDING THE COLLOIDAL STATE
Most chemistry books have a chapter on the colloidal state as if it were a special case. Actually the colloidal state is the only state for all living things. Within water, the chemical elements of life occur in a flux of halves, or opposing electrical pairs always in motion and swapping these molecular halves in complete chemical reactions that are the process of growth and repair. In this flux of the body's fluids are the germ pathogens, whose own molecular pairs interact with those of the body as they strive to survive.
They are all parasites that attack and eat the body cells of the host, dumping their wastes into the surrounding tissues and blood stream. When in this fluid flux, there is an electrically charged ion or micro-particle of colloidal silver, it selects from among the tissue cells of the body only those disease causing pathogens and suffocates them, catalytically, simply by being there, then, unaffected, drifts on to repeat the process again and again.
The crystalline state is the condition of dry dead things. Most medications are in a crystalline state. The body must convert them to a colloidal state before they can be used. There is some expense to the body in time, energy and effectiveness. In the process there are molecular pieces left over that burden the body with their need to be eliminated. In the case of colloidal silver, nothing is led. Several decades of clinical use of Silver have been proven in the treatment of burns, and for eye, ear, nose, throat, vaginal, rectal and urinary tract infections. Silver has been prescribed in medicine as an aid to the brain, reproductive disorders in women and the circulatory system. It has been used as a remedy for mental imbalances, sleepwalking and anorexia nervosa. News Article written by Marvin Robey:
