Colloidal Silver: Blue Man or Miracle Supplement?

Dave,

Fascinating article, especially your observation about sickness triggering autoimmune disease. Thanks!

Hello Cs,

You ask where to buy CS: Health food stores; on line just Google Colloidal Silver and if you really get into the CS world consider purchasing the small units...less than 100 dollars. Google "colloidal silver generators for sale inexpensive" or words to that effect and any number of sites will give you price. I bought my latest one for 69 dollars. I make mine in seven minutes by adding 20 grains of salt for conductivity. There is another way to make it...slowly by not adding the salt. That takes 30 minutes or so. And the color differs. The fast method produces a white cloud. You dilute until the cloud is not visible and no metallic taste should be evident. The CS tastes just like water. Which it is except there is a bit of atoms of silver dispersed within. My dilution is about 32 dilutions. That is, if I have one cup of water with silver dispersed, I then dilute by 32 cups of purified water.

Hello Mama to Many,

Thank you. It certainly wouldn't hurt to apply colloidal silver to a "mystery disease" to test response. I notice that if a virus is at work, energy levels increase rapidly...within five days, often. Amazing. The rate of energy level increase obviously does not continue to rise at the same level over time, but that little "test" will give a good indication if the body is being relieved in the anti viral fight. So the clue tells one to continue with the program.

Thank you for lauding one of my favorite remedies! Renewal colloidal Silver from West Chester, PA is my preferred brand.

However! I found one aspect of this article to be extremely omissive and irresponsible. Silver destroys bacteria, harmful and beneficial alike. This means courses of silver destroy gut flora like any antibiotic would. Plentiful bacteria are absolutely one of the most crucial players in the health of our core immune systems, and mental state. I'm telling you people with compromised gut flora are connected with autism, schizophrenia, depression, inflammation, and all of the ills associated with that, including life-threatening disease. Flora is our internal ecosystem.. We cannot live without it. Please, please, please, if you are using silver at all, replenish with a variety of fermented foods and a broad-spectrum probiotic. Acidophilus alone is not enough.

Thank you for hearing my PSA.

Hello April,

Re Colloidal Silver and gut flora;

That is a questionable assertion...that is that CS destroys gut flora. Over the years I have not seen that to be true. Recently a PhD in Microscopy told me the reason CS seemed not to have an impact on "good bacteria" is that the electrical charge of good bacteria is positive and so is CS. Whereas damaging bacteria is negatively charged. So CS is attracted electrically to harmful bacteria and repelled by beneficial bacteria.

I don't assert that as true...I've just noticed that there seems to be no correlation between digestion issues for CS consumption and lower tract digestion...

Whereas, if I am on antibiotics...there most certainly is a problem. I KNOW there is a big problem as soon as the antibiotics start up. And I have to take a beneficial bacteria to rebuild the flora.

So I know (for me) from experience that CS seems NOT to effect the system like an antibiotic .... the idea that you assert.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has actual experience otherwise. Actual "here's what happened...every time I took the CS, my bowels went haywire, like when I take antibiotics."

In fact, I'd advise everyone to take extra beneficial bacteria/enzyme supplements...always helping the gut flora, whether that take CS or not.

Certainly, if one takes antibiotics gut flora must be rebuilt.

Again, I'd love to hear actual experiences of people who take CS and don't have gut issues but who know what gut flora problems are like from taking antibiotics...AND actual experience of people to take CS and DO have gut flora problems just like when they take antibiotics.

I've written about the gut flora issue before within the last six months but I don't think it was on this threat. (I wrote somewhere else on Earth Clinic.)

Now not to be misunderstood; I like April's question and everyone should consider using supplements of extra enzymes and beneficial bacteria if they encounter any flora problems that they associate with CS consumption; but as for me and those who I know take CS I just don't hear a flora problem relationship which is like the taking of antibiotics...Why?

I've wondered why for a long time and the possible answer is that the electrical charge of beneficial bacteria is the same as CS while the charge for most all harmful bacteria is negative.

Again; other's experience on the OBSERVED gut flora issue would be appreciated so we have a lot of input from folks who take CS...

The issue: Have you found from experience that taking CS harms your digestive tract activity like taking antibiotics?

Thank you April for your observations. If you could elaborate about your own experience that would help.

Dave,

I am into week 7 of Bells Palsy with little improvement. Just found this site and am wondering if it is too late to try the remedy you mentioned? I am still a little confused as to how to go about applying this to the affected side of my face. Could you tell me how to mix the solution and where to quickly get what I need? Also, should I take the CS by mouth as well?

Thank you, Kathy

Hello Kathy,

Sorry so long in responding...

It is not too late to use CS and DMSO as a poultice. I'm of the opinion that the virus is still alive. If it goes a long time without being killed, and if this happens one might have nerve damage.

So to kill the virus, I use DMSO (google; Dr. Jacobs 60 minutes DMSO ... for a three part analysis).

Take six tablespoons of colloidal silver and mix 50/50 with the DMSO and let that soak into a white paper towel and apply to face at side where the Palsey is at work.

Hold for twenty minutes. Repeat a day later.

Nerve damage might be present but the cause will be eliminated. I also take AEP to help with nerve damage. To apply topically, I crush up three Calcium AEP tablets and apply two tablespoons of DMSO and two tablespoons to the AEP and make into a paste. Apply. The DMSO will carry the AEP into the effected area and in my opinion help rebuild the damaged nerve.

You can order the CS on the internet.

You can order good DMSO from Dr. Jacobs site. He has a lab that now sells it.

Since this article was written to enchant the reader, what is clearly lacking is anything that would prove his illness was helped in any manner with CS.

It's amazing what people will believe by a talking head on the news or a well prepared short story.

Cite all your proof with how you got to your results of CS playing any part in your well being. How do you determine this without proper lab work? Subjective doesn't cut it.

Hi Goat of Truth...In response to your own demand on this forum to produce evidence that Colloidal Silver has anti-viral, antibacterial, anticancer and wound-healing properties etc, here are one or two pieces of research that might help you to understand how CS works in the body. Here is the research:

Colloidal Silver Research

Obviously, it would appear that you are completely unaware of colloidal silver's beneficial effects on the body. So I hope the above research helps to increase your rather meager understanding and knowledge of how silver works its magic in the human body.

The other thing that strikes me about you is that you seem to be extraordinarily lazy. It's easy enough for you to tap in "Colloidal Silver health" or "Colloidal Silver anti-viral" into Google Search or PubMed and find out for yourself but even this seems to be beyond your effort for some unknown reason. Instead, you angrily demand that other people should explain it and do it all for you. This strikes me as astonishingly lazy or perhaps biased behaviour on your part -- I'll get to that later.

The reason so many people come to this website is usually because doctors and allopathic medicine and drugs have completely failed to cure their serious ailments. It's also pretty widely accepted that that the design of drugs nowadays for infectious, autoimmune and idiopathic diseases will only ever work to accommodate or manage the symptoms of their disease. So no actual cure in sight. Indeed, this seems to be the policy or Business Model for all the drugs companies now which appears to be far more important than actually curing anybody of any disease.

Why is this true? Because it is way more profitable for a patient (or should I more correctly say consumer?) to take drugs for the rest of his or her life than to take the drugs for only 3 months and then your cured and then you stop taking the drug.

Don't believe me? Watch this video:

Other Toxic Effects on Humans: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.

Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not available.

Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:

May cause cancer based on animal data. However, at the time of this review, no studies were found on the possible
carcinogenic activity of silver compounds in humans.
Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause mechanical eye irritation. Inhalation: May

Now I confess to being somewhat astonished that there appears to have been no research whatsoever done or accepted in the above MSDS on animal or human toxicity but, despite that fact, under Special Remarks and Chronic Effects, there appears to be a huge risk to humans. So where's the toxicity evidence from research? I'm afraid that if there has been no toxicity research on CS quoted for animals or humans, then how can the MSDS come to such utterly dumb and misleading conclusions? So much for honest research.

Anyway, Goat of Truth, hopefully this will help you to more understand why people both come to websites like this and why they also like using colloidal silver. Because it works.

And if you just happen to be a doctor(as I suspect)...Well, let's just say that I know exactly where you're coming from and leave it at that.

Dear Goat of Truth,

You have made an assumption that the article was written to "enchant" the reader. Having read Dave's posts, the article in question, and met him in person, I do not make the same assumption. Dave is an intelligent, well researched and caring man with a sincere desire to help others.

And actually, subjective does cut it. Just because something hasn't been "proven" by lab work does not mean that it is not true. You can read hundreds and hundreds of stories here at Earth Clinic that are "subjective" and have helped thousands of others. Sometimes we see tangible numbers. Blood pressure numbers lowering, fever reduced, etc, but the bottom line is really this; do people feel better?

Several years ago I took synthetic thyroid. My numbers improved but I felt worse. My doctor insisted that I was better. I chose alternatives I learned here at Earth Clinic and through other research and now feel well without my doctor's "help, " or his prescriptions.

I have learned a lot from Dave and am glad he gives of his time to post and help others.

~Mama to Many~

I would like to add to Mama to Many's well chosen reply that CS has been used by physicians for hundreds of years with proven effect.

Allopathic med. is not very old and what took off so rapidly may take a nosedive soon. People's right of choice have been severely curtailed and their bodies are used for business.

Nor do we believe in the "blue man" story.

Bottomline is CS has been studied at Scandinavian universities and its efficacy is well established.

Looking forward to the day when disease management and business will be forgotten as there are wonderful discoveries that will be used mankind's benefit and true scientists will be safe and respected as they serve humanity without an eye on gross profit.

Namaste, Om
