Silver is said to be one of nature’s 92 chemically pure elements with proven benefits to man and at the same time is toxic to all species of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites and various viruses. Lately, this wonder metal is slowly gaining ground as a therapeutic element in the form of colloidal silver. Meanwhile, believers in this novel form of alternative therapy continue to profess its amazing healing powers.

The term colloidal is derived from the Greek word meaning “glue-like.” Colloidal is a term that refers to a state of matter. An element or compound is considered colloidal when the particles are between a nanometer and a micrometer in size, and the energy of the substance is efficiently governed by surface effects. A colloid is a solid, liquid, or gaseous substance that is insoluble but remains suspended and dispersed in another fluid medium. Dissolved solids are ionic, not colloidal. Colloidal silver is a fluid that predominantly contains minute particles of silver in suspension, where the particles carry a slight negative electrical charge known as the zeta potential. In true colloidal silver, there is less than 5% ionic content.

Research conducted in the late 1930s showed that while silver was absolutely harmless to man, it was toxic to all species of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites, and various viruses. Essentially, silver acts as a catalyst, deactivating those enzymes that are necessary for the survival of single-celled bacteria, fungi, and viruses. At the same time, it protects the body’s natural enzymes and stimulates tissue growth. Despite its proven benefits, silver fell out of favor as a remedy due to its prohibitive cost and the fact that manufacturers could not patent it. The discovery of antibiotics at the same time acted as a double whammy. The pharmaceutical industry intervened, causing colloidal research to be sidelined in favor of fast-acting and financially lucrative drugs.

Silver re-entered the world of medicine in the 1970s in the form of colloidal silver. In its revival, it became even more popular due to its relative cost effectiveness and healing properties. It came as a pleasant surprise to everyone when it was discovered that colloidal silver is full of medicinal values. In some cases, it was found to be the only remaining option for treatment. Lots of people are using it and reaping its benefits.

Thanks to revealing research, colloidal silver has become the center of attention now. It is said that he is the most powerful germ fighter. He is emerging as a marvel of modern medicine. A traditional antibiotic kills maybe half a dozen different disease-causing organisms, but silver kills about 650. Resistant strains don’t thrive. Additionally, silver is virtually non-toxic. Silver ions were also found to promote bone growth. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Therefore, colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans.

The following is a partial list of the more than 650 diseases against which colloidal silver has been shown to be successful: acne, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, athlete’s foot, bladder inflammation, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, burns, cancer, candida. , cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, dermatitis, diabetes, dysentery, eczema, fibrositis, gastritis, gonorrhea, hay fever, herpes, impetigo, indigestion, keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, Lyme disease, malaria, meningitis , neurasthenia , parasitic infections: viral, fungal and bacterial pneumonia, pleurisy, prostate, anal pruritus, psoriasis, purulent ophthalmia, rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, seborrhea, septicemia, herpes shingles, skin cancer, staph and strep infections, stomach flu, syphilis, thyroid, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, all forms of viruses, warts, whooping cough, candidiasis, stomach ulcer, canine parovirus and other veterinary uses, and fungal and viral attacks on plants. More recently, colloidal silver is claimed to have been quite effective in treating deadly diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis C.

Recently, it is being observed that some bacteria and viruses that cause human diseases have developed resistance to antibiotics. Also, there has been a substantial increase in new strains of bacteria and viruses around the world. This has also generated a renewed interest in colloidal silver in the medical field. Large companies are developing and introducing new silver compounds for a variety of antimicrobial applications, including protection against the spread of the AIDS virus.

Colloidal silver has been found to be particularly effective against skin disorders. This was demonstrated long ago by the late Dr. Carl Moyer, Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Washington, in the 1970s, when he demonstrated its effectiveness in the case of burn victims. It has been shown that colloidal silver can be used on a large area of ​​the body, in contrast to normal antiseptic, and can heal the affected skin much faster and safer. Further research has shown that it can be used with excellent results on various skin disorders such as acne, athlete’s foot, Candida, eczema, etc. When used topically, it was found to be painless on cuts, burns, acne, abrasions, and open wounds.

Colloidal silver is antiseptic, has proven antibacterial properties, and is antimicrobial. More recently these properties have been put to good use in soap making. The antimicrobial properties and germ-fighting ability make colloidal silver a perfect ingredient for soap making. Since silver is all-natural, it results in a non-toxic soap. It should be noted that colloidal silver only kills microorganisms when in contact with it for a sufficient period of time. Therefore, regular use of colloidal silver soap is strongly recommended.
