Silver 

When properly prepared, colloidal silver is a completely non-toxic, tasteless, internally and externally applicable, broad-spectrum germ fighter and disinfectant which can significantly reduce the length and severity of many viral and bacterial infections.

Based on laboratory tests with colloidal silver, destructive bacteria, virus, and fungus organisms are killed within minutes of contact, Larry C. Ford, M.D, of the Department of Ohstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, Center For The Health Sciences reported in a letter dated November 1, 1988.3  "I tested them (the silver solutions) using standard antimicrobial tests for disinfectants.  The silver solutions were antibacterial for concentrations of 105 organisms per ml. of Streptococcus Pyogenes, Staphylococcus Aurcus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Salmonella Typhi, and other enteric pathogens, and fungicidal for Candida Albicans, Candida Globata, and M. Furfur."

"What we have actually done was rediscover the fact that silver killed bacteria, which had been known for centuries... when antibiotics were discovered, clinical uses for silver as an antibiotic were discarded." - Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D.

Jim Powell reported in a Science Digest article March, 1978, titled, Our Mightiest Germ Fighter, "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop, moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic." Dr. Harry Margraf of St. Louis concluded "Silver is the best all around germ-fighter we have."

Some of the negative reaction that colloidal silver received in the early 1900's, "was due to a premature supply of improperly prepared and unstable colloids... Shortly after the definite recognition of the colloidal nature of the chief body fluids was effected, the enormous possibilities which might result from the application of colloidal disinfectants and medicines were rapidly recognized." 4

A number of colloidal substances were placed on the market in this country and elsewhere.  It was soon found, however, that most of these preparations rapidly deteriorated in value: some of them were so unstable that they contained no active colloid at the time when they were used."  (ibid)

Colloidal silver appears to be one of the greatest discoveries in natural preventive health care of all time.

N. R. Thompson of Runcorn Health Laboratory in England recognized that "To primitive life forms, oligodynamic silver is as toxic as the most powerful chemical disinfectants and this, coupled with its relative harmlessness to animate life (i.e. mammals), gives it great potential as a disinfectant."   He also says that the concentration of silver necessary to sterilize water contaminated with pathogenic bacteria is between 40-200 gamma, or 0.04 to 0.2 ppm (1 ppm = 1000 gamma). See Dosimetry for information on estimated quantity needed to attain this concentration.

In 1940 and 1966, respectively, R.A. Kehoe and I.H. Tipton reported that under normal circumstances the average daily diet will yield approximately 50mcg to 100mcg of silver. (Note: The reduction of silver in the average diet, due to commercial farming techniques, is similar to what has happened with other trace minerals including chromium, zinc and selenium - that are now known to be essential for good health. This reduction may play a role in the worldwide epidemic of chronic infections.) 5

Antibiotics have been so popular in the medical field due to the fact that they can be patented. The pharmaceutical companies find it financially worth while to keep the doctors educated in their medicines, while other products go unnoticed. Silver, on the other hand, is not patentable and there are no huge profits in it, so it is not worth heavy promotion. The high-priced products run over the low cost products, simply because they are more profitable.

In Use of Colloids in Health and Disease, 1910, Dr. Henry Crooks wrote: "... that certain metals when in a colloidal state have a highly germicidal action, but are quite harmless to human beings....it may be applied in a much more concentrated form and with better results...all fungus, virus, bacterium, B. Tuberculosis... ..Staphylococcus Pyogenes, various Streptococci and other pathogenic organisms are all killed in three to four minutes;  in fact, no microbe is known that is not killed by this colloid in laboratory experiments in six minutes in a dilution as little as 5 parts per million (and) the concentration of the (silver) does not exceed twenty-five parts per million."  Dr. Crooks found colloidal silver particularly effective in intestinal problems, and tells us there are no serious effects whatsoever from high concentrations.

"As an antibiotic, silver kills over 650 disease-causing organisms; resistant strains fail to develop. Silver is abolutely non-toxic. Silver is the best all around germ fighter we have. Doctors are reporting that, taken internally, it works against syphilis, cholera and malaria, diabetes and severe burns." Silver - Our Mightiest Germ Fighter, Science Digest, March 1978.
