If you found an effective and broad-spectrum germ-fighter with the power to reduce the length and severity of many bacterial infections, would you consider it one of the greatest medical discoveries of all time?

Such a substance does indeed exist. It’s made from one of the purest elements known to man — silver. Silver has been used as an antimicrobial for thousands of years. This is why silverware and dishes were traditionally made out of silver.

Silver salts were considered a miracle healer for many generations… until the pharmaceutical companies tossed them down the memory hole where they all but disappeared.

They were replaced by lab-created pharmaceutical antibiotics, which looked like miracles when they were invented because in the beginning there were no antibiotic-resistant strains of disease organisms.

Today, we are finding out that these prescription antibiotics are proving to be a medical failure. Antibiotic-resistant super-germs are now considered epidemic in the United States, accounting for a growing number of serious and fatal infectious disorders.

The organisms that cause infection have now become resistant to these man-made chemicals. There are even deadly strains like MRSA appearing.

Because of this, people are turning back to silver, and there is no doubt about the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of this natural healer.

This true miracle substance contains the very important electrolytes sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium plus 70 other micro and trace minerals. Electrolytes maintain normal fluid balance inside and outside cells and a proper balance of acids and bases in the body, a balance that is necessary for optimal health of the cell.

And while most antibiotics disinfect about a half dozen or so germs, nontoxic silver has been reported to disinfect hundreds. Most importantly, unlike prescription antibiotics, germs cannot build a resistance to the natural antibiotic action of colloidal silver.

Silver kills so many kinds of bacteria by attacking them in three distinct ways:

• Silver weakens bacterial cell walls, causing them to collapse.
• Silver interferes with bacterial metabolism, starving them.
• Silver disrupts bacterial cell duplication, so they can’t multiply.

It is unlikely that any bacteria could ever develop resistance to silver. And unlike prescription antibiotics, colloidal silver is extremely safe with adults and children.

Mainstream medicine wants to make everyone think that before “modern” medicine with drugs and surgery came along, everything was snake oil. But before 1938 and the advent of penicillin and later prescription antibiotics, colloidal silver was used for hundreds of problems, including both internal and external infections, and it was very effective.

But it appears that its miraculous uses were erased from public memory because as a natural substance, it couldn’t be patented, monopolized and prescribed as a drug.

The pharmaceuticals have their drugs to sell, and can’t lose millions of dollars in sales to a cheap and safe alternative. At first, they lobbied the FDA to ban the sale of silver for medicinal use altogether. But even the FDA couldn’t find grounds for banning colloidal silver and silver salts completely.

So the pharmaceuticals took another approach. First, they pressured the FDA to restrict your access to information about the benefits of colloidal silver.

Then, they successfully got the FDA to remove colloidal silver from all over-the-counter medications.

This was a travesty, since silver was widely used for internal infections such as flu, fevers, herpes, hepatitis, Epstein-Barr, bronchitis, pneumonia and yeast/vaginal infections.

Silver was also used for external infections such as eyes, ears, sore throat, dental abscesses, nasal/sinus, poison oak and rashes, burns, cuts and bites, and athlete’s foot.

Fortunately, the FDA can’t keep researchers from doing their work. And colloidal silver is once again being recognized as a powerful antibacterial agent.

I’ve read research that talks about how technology has begun to use silver to coat the screws and nails used in surgery to repair fractures because the silver prevents postoperative infections.

Doctors at the University of Adelaide in Australia had been having trouble treating rhinitis and sinusitis with antibiotics. A new study revealed that they have successfully used a solution of silver particles suspended in water as a nasal spray (i.e., colloidal silver). It “markedly improved” the symptoms of a previously untreatable strain of Staphylococcus aureus (staph)-infected chronic rhinosinusitis.

Colloidal silver is also being studied for its ability to kill a bacteria involved with causing or worsening rheumatoid arthritis.
And Polish researchers have tested colloidal silver against staph, E.coli and other deadly bacteria. They found that a concentration of only 200 parts per million of silver particles interacting with bacteria for only 24 hours was enough to have “inhibited all bacteria in our research.”

This information in no way “proves” that colloidal silver “cures” infections, disorders or diseases of any kind. I make no claims that it does. I am simply relating to you all that I have read and found so that you can have the freedom to make your own choices, which the pharmaceuticals desperately do not want you to have.

I want you to know that it has been proven that colloidal silver has tremendous antimicrobial powers. The history of safe and effective use of colloidal silver is extensive, and the number of current health professionals and individuals who successfully use colloidal silver to reduce the length and severity of infectious disorders is growing exponentially. Always consult your healthcare professional for advice concerning your own particular needs.

And until we have medical freedom, I recommend that you get some colloidal silver for current use and storage.

You can get it at well-stocked health food stores, but what I do is generate it myself. Because whether you want to avoid mainstream medicine’s chemicals, or you just want to create your own safe plentiful supply of colloidal silver, you will have the world’s best natural antibiotic.

Silver and other minerals are obtained from foods we eat that originate from organic soil. This soil contains living organisms that help to make minerals available to vegetation. When fruits and vegetables are grown on chemical fertilizers, we may not receive the necessary quantity of vitamins, minerals and trace elements which occur naturally. This may result in a decreased immune function over time. Dr. Robert Becker has also found a positive correlation between low silver levels and sickness. Adding colloidal silver to the soil, is a way of boosting its nutrient content.

Unlike pesticides and chemical fertilizers, colloidal silver leaves no residues and keeps garden plants safe to eat. It kills bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that attack plants, and it also eliminates parasites. A small amount of colloidal silver used in spray application for plants (fruits and vegetables included) is considered safe for human consumption.

Colloidal silver has been used in horticulture as an ethylene inhibitor. Because it competes to bind to sites on the ethylene receptors of plants, solutions with silver particles are used by florists to maintain flower freshness. Horticulturists also may use colloidal silver to treat topical fungal infections on plants.

Soaking seeds in colloidal silver before planting, increases germination and reduces mould growth in sprouts. In addition, small amounts of colloidal silver diluted with pure water can be sprayed on soil. The plant may absorb the microscopic silver particles and become more resistant to soil-based pathogens. Treating soil around younger plant roots allows them to grow more vigorously.

Adding colloidal silver to cut plants allows the plant to live longer and prevents it from falling victim to bacteria, viruses and fungi. Plants placed in water with colloidal silver added to it wither and die less than those placed in normal water which may contain bacteria and pathogens. Spraying a small amount of colloidal silver onto the stem and leaf surfaces, allows the plant to absorb silver ions and prevent fungi, viruses and bacteria from colonizing the outer surface. The colloidal silver is absorbed into the plant and as a result, kills any pathogens inside itself as well as any embedded insect eggs. However, colloidal silver does not affect mature insects, therefore pollinators such as bees and ladybugs are not harmed.

In our experience, adding colloidal silver to plants and sprouts has decreased the growing time for maturation. These plants and sprouts also grow to be significantly bigger than those untreated with colloidal silver.

Many testimonials have been shared and documented about the benefits people have found using colloidal silver for their beloved pets. Eye infections, cuts, abscesses, stomach ailments, skin rashes, the list goes on and on. Colloidal silver has been used to successfully treat cats, dogs, pigs, horses, birds, and every kind of pet. Because CS is simply added to the pet’s drinking water, it is very easy to administer. Animals seem to love it. You can’t really overdose with colloidal silver, so it takes the worry out of prescribing. The usual dose would be a teaspoon per average bowl of drinking water. Gardeners have started using colloidal silver on their plants. Good results have been seen with herbs and vegetables, as well as flowers. Some report larger, more attractive veggies. It is used on common plant problems with a high rate of success. It is a good idea to add a spoonful of CS to a vase of cut flowers to help the flowers last longer. It really works!”

Floral and Garden

Colloidal silver can be used to greatly extend the time before decaying begins on cut flowers. Probably due to the bacteria and other pathogens in water, cut flowers placed that medium will tend to wither and die much more quickly than cut flowers that are placed in water which has colloidal silver added to it. The colloidal silver not only kills the pathogens in the water but is subsequently absorbed into the flowers and taken to the cellular level where colloidal silver works internally to kill remaining pathogens.

A colloidal silver solution in water can also be sprayed directly onto plants and shrubs in the garden. The action of the colloidal silver positive ions work on the outside of the plants to effectively destroy bacteria, virus, fungus, etc. Garden food plants that have been sprayed with colloidal silver leave no residue, as do poison sprays, and are safe for human consumption.”
