Colloidal Silver

History

Since the late 1800’s, Doctors had used Colloids of Silver to treat infections. These early, unstable and crudely made silver solutions were injected directly into the body, taken orally or applied topically. Remarkably, there were no significant side effects.

Although these Silver Colloids were considered quite effective for treating many of the diseases of that time, Doctors slowly shifted from preparing their own medicines and began buying and prescribing the newer, ready-made Sulfa Drugs and Penicillin preparations offered by drug companies. Colloidal silver somewhat disappeared from medicine for many years. In the 1970’s Colloids of Silver were rediscovered when researchers sought to find effective treatment for infections on burn victims. Many antibiotics were tested, but researchers were led to trying Colloidal Silver and found that it had wonderful benefits and no side effects.

By that time many different forms of Silver suspensions and mixtures were being referred to as Silver Colloids. Some had been made by grinding silver finely into water as they had been nearly a century earlier, but a safer Colloidal Silver had been created using an electrolysis process. This new technique produced a finer dispersion and lower concentration of Silver particles. Also, these colloids were much more effective and did not cause Argyria, the graying of the skin sometimes associated with heavy doses of the earlier, cruder chemically produced compounds of silver. Today’s Electro-Pure™ Colloidal Silver is gaining popularity because it is a natural elemental substance having splendid antibiotic properties without side effects and it doesn’t interfere with Homeopathic remedies. Electro-Pure ^TM Colloidal Silver is simply 99.99% pure silver electrically dispersed into distilled water. The particles of silver are so small that they remain suspended for years and stable under even adverse conditions.

How does it work ?

Silver reportedly kills bacteria, fungus and yeast by interfering with their metabolism necessary for respiration. More specifically the silver molecule, if small enough, attaches to the receptor site of an essential enzyme necessary to facilitate respiration through the cell membrane of the pathogenic cell thus blocking normal exchange of gasses. Some references also state that Silver Colloids stimulate the body’s immune system or may work in alliance with it. Analysis of the tissue of Thymus and the Tonsil glands has found they have a high level of silver. This may be one explanation for why doses of colloidal silver as low as six drops a day have produced excellent results.
