About colloidal silver.....

It has been known for centuries that silver has powerful properties as a germ killer. Centuries ago silver was used by the wealthy for cooking utensils and water was stored in silver urns to keep it fresh. Silver was also used on open wounds to stop infection. Colloidal silver was also extensively used as an antibiotic until the early 20th century until the discovery of penicillin.

In recent years there has been a steadily growing renewed interest in colloidal silver as a treatment. some people simply can't take or do not want to take modern antibiotics, while others prefer a natural product. For whatever reason it is gaining popularity as an all round treatment for all sorts of ailments from colds & flu to infections and in laboratory tests has been proved to kill bacteria, viruses and fungal growth of all kinds including the MRSA virus in a test dish.

Colloidal silver is harmless to both humans and animals, so can be used on your pets and even birds by putting it in their drinking water. Many have found it particularly effective for gum/mouth infections in both humans and dogs/cats. It is used throughut the world by natural health practitioners to treat a variety of ailments from minor skin infections to lyme disease. Dressings impregnated with silver have been used for a number of years and are still being used in this country today by the NHS in particular for burn injuries to stop the wound becoming infected. NASA also use silver for water purification and sanitising aboard their spacecraft.

Many people are concerned about the overuse of modern antibiotics and the fact that resistant strains of bacteria are developing. It not thought that there are any strains resistant to silver. Another reason for its popularity may be due to the fact that it is truly multi purpose, modern antibiotics will only kill bacteria, they will not touch viruses or fungal infections. Colloidalsilver will destroy all of them.

Albert Searle, the founder of a pharmaceutical company which went on to become Merck, was a researcher of colloidal silver in the early 1900s. In his book, the use of colloids in healh and disease, he pesents his findings on the curative effects of colloidal silver and reveiws numerous articles published in the British Medical Journal and The Lancet on the succesful use of colloidal silver in curing disease. Searle writes "the germicidal action of certain metals in the colloidal state having been demonstrated, it only remained to apply them to the human subject, and this has been done in a large number of cases with astonihing results.
For internal administration, either hypodermicaly or orally, they have the advantage of being rapidly fatal to the parasites, both bacterial or otherwise, without any toxic action on the host".
