While silver's importance as a bactericide has been documented only since the late 1800s, Silver has been reported to have therapeutic value throughout the ages.
Early records indicate that the Phoenicians used silver vessels to keep water, wine and vinegar pure during their long voyages. The ancient Greeks discovered the health benefits of silver when they noted that in battle the upper class, who had silver canteens, never got dysentery but the regular troops often did. Consequently, they also lined their eating and drinking vessels with silver, as did many other cultures throughout the world.
Herodotus (79 A.D.) wrote that Cyrus the Great, King of Persia (550-529 B.C.), a man of vision who established a board of health and a medical dispensary for his citizens, had water drawn from a special stream, had it boiled and placed in silver vessels. These vessels of water were placed on four wheeled wagons drawn by mules, to accompany the king where ever he went. Around 400 B.C., Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine," taught that silver healed wounds and controlled disease".
The Romans used silver nitrate therapeutically, and in 69 B.C it was described in the contemporary Roman pharmacopoeia. Pliny the Elder, in his survey of the world's knowledge, Natural History (78 A.D.), states that the slag of silver "... has healing properties as an ingredient in plasters, being extremely effective in causing wounds to close up...".
The popularity of medicinal silver rose from 702 A.D. through 980 A.D. throughout the Middle East where it was widely used and esteemed for blood purification, heart conditions, and controlling halitosis. Paracelsus (circa 1520) extensively incorporated silver medicinally and speaks of the virtues of silver as a healing substance in his hermetic and alchemical writings.
Through the centuries, royal households carried on the practice of storing their provisions in silver containers. Privileged family members used silver eating utensils; had their meals served on silver plates and their drinks served in silver cups. It is believed that this is one reason the upper class did not succumb to the many plagues which almost wiped out villages. Churches did, and still do, use cups made of silver for communion, where one goblet is passed from person to person.
Interestingly, the term “Blue Blood”, used to indicate royalty, arises from the reportedly bluish tinge of the skin of royal family members, caused by the minute traces of pure metallic silver they regularly consumed from the use of silver utensils. It is also interesting to note that the expression, "born with a silver spoon in his mouth", is not a reference to wealth, but to health. In the early 18th century, babies who were fed with silver spoons were healthier than those fed with spoons made from other metals, and silver pacifiers found wide use in America because of their beneficial health effects.
American pioneers found that a silver dollar put in a jug of milk would delay spoilage. They also found that if they kept their silverware "hidden" in their water barrel the water would not go bad. Therefore, pioneers moving west put silver and copper coins in their water barrels to keep them clean.
During the wars with Napoleon, the armies of Tsar Alexander used water casks lined with silver to store clean drinking water from rivers and streams. This practice by the Imperial Russian army was common through World War I and continued to be incorporated by some units in the Soviet Army during World War II.
Through the middle-ages right up to the early part of the 20th century, pure silver wire was inserted into battle wounds and hunting accident wounds to keep the wound clean of infection and accelerate healing.
It was not until the late 1800's that Western scientists were able to prove what had been known in Eastern medicine for thousands of years...that silver was a proven germ fighter! Several physicians discovered the antibacterial qualities of silver and applied them to their practice of medicine. They used silver nitrate successfully in the treatment of skin ulcers, compound fractures and draining puss wounds. In 1881, the German obstetrician, Dr. F. Crede, began to administer 1% silver nitrate solution in the eyes of newborn infants. This virtually eliminated the incidence of disease causing blindness in newborns, such as gonorrheal ophthalmia. This technique has been used effectively up to the present.
In 1901, a Prussian chemist named Hille and Albert Coombs Barnes discovered a method of preparing a true colloid by combining a vegetable product with a silver compound and patented it as Argyrol, the only non-toxic antibiotic available at the time.
By the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body's most important fluids were colloidal in nature. Upon this discovery, the endless possibilities for the use of colloids in medicine were recognized. As a result, a silver solution known as Colloidal Silver became widely used in medicine. The first electro-colloidal silver was produced in 1924 and became widely used in medicine as one of the mainstays of anti-microbial treatment. It proved to be enormously effective against infectious organisms and extremely safe to use, without the negative side effects associated with many drugs.
In 1910, Dr Henry Crooks, a pioneer in colloidal chemistry, (Use of Colloids in Health-Disease) wrote that: "… certain metals, when in a colloidal state, have a highly germicidal action but are quite harmless to human beings...it may be applied in a much more concentrated form and with better results... no microbe is known that is not killed by this colloid in laboratory experiments in six minutes, [and] the concentration of the [silver] does not exceed twenty-five parts per million.”

Colloidal Silver and Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
Antibiotic resistant bacteria are bacteria that are not controlled or killed by antibiotics. They are able to survive and even multiply in the presence of an antibiotic. Most infection-causing bacteria can become resistant to at least some antibiotics. The most serious concern with antibiotic resistance is that some bacteria have become resistant to almost all of the easily available antibiotics. These bacteria are able to cause serious disease and this is a major public health problem. Important examples are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) and multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
The Los Angeles Times, in an article entitled "Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing as Resistant Bacteria Develop" (October 23, 1994), writes "In the last decade, a broad resistance to antibiotics has begun to emerge. And because bacteria can transfer genes among themselves, experts only expect this resistance to grow. The potential nightmare is an Andromeda strain which is immune to all antibiotics and could wreak havoc."
Over the years, the medical establishment has reported on the new strains of "Super Bugs" that cannot be destroyed by antibiotics. Newsweek Magazine reported in the March 28, 1994 issue, that in 1992 thirteen thousand hospital patients died of infections that resisted every drug doctors tried. Some of these patients caught the infections in the hospital. Many diseases once thought to be easily treated with antibiotics are no longer treatable, not even with some of the newly developed antibiotics.
The September 1995 issue of Time Magazine featured an article titled "Revenge of the Killer Microbes". The author wrote: "Faced with AIDS, and with an ever increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, doctors are forced to admit the medical profession was actually retreating in the battle against germs. The question ceased to be, when will infectious diseases be wiped out? and became, Where will the next deadly new plague appear?"
An extensive article entitled "Antibiotics, The End of Miracle Drugs?" appeared in the March 28, 1994 issue of Newsweek. "The rise of drug resistant germs is unparalleled in recorded history" the article states. "Penicillin and tetracycline lost their power over staph back in the 1950's and 60's. Another antibiotic, methicillin, provided a back up for awhile, but methicillin-resistant staph (MRSA)is now common in hospitals and nursing homes world wide."
An article, released in October 2006 by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, states "MRSA in healthcare settings commonly causes serious and potentially life threatening infections, such as bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, or pneumonia. In addition to healthcare associated infections, MRSA can also infect people in the community at large." The article continues "People infected with antibiotic-resistant organisms like MRSA are more likely to have longer and more expensive hospital stays, and may be more likely to die as a result of the infection. When the drug of choice for treating their infection doesn’t work, they require treatment with second- or third-choice medicines that may be less effective, more toxic and more expensive." According to CDC data, the proportion of infections that are antimicrobial resistant has been growing. In 1974, MRSA infections accounted for two percent of the total number of staph infections; in 1995 it was 22%; in 2004 it was some 63%.
The New England Journal of Medicine, April 28, 1994, reported that researchers have identified bacteria in patient samples that resist all currently available antibiotic drugs. The overuse of antibiotics has created super-resistant classes of bacteria that can resist antibiotics and evade our immune systems. This poses a serious threat to our health and has the medical profession very concerned.
In an article entitled "New Way To Stop Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Found" on Medical News Today, July 11, 2007, Catharine Paddock writes "The last decade has seen an unprecedented increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria to the point where almost every type of bacteria is now resistant, and they can cause deadly infections that are very difficult and expensive to treat." Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill think they have found a way to target and kill antibiotic resistant bacteria using a drug that is already approved as a treatment for bone loss.
What I find most disturbing in all this is reality that this predicament was avoidable and perhaps at one time even correctable. There is sufficient history, research and anecdotal information to strongly support colloidal silver as an effective first-line-of-defense against not only bacteria, but also fungi and viruses. As an antibiotic, silver kills over 650 disease causing organisms; resistant strains fail to develop and it is nontoxic. Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have (Bio/Tech News, 1995). It is also reported that colloidal silver promoted major growth of bone, and accelerated the healing of injured tissues by over 50%. Dr. Becker discovered that "silver, profoundly stimulates healing in skin and other soft tissues in a way unlike any known natural process...”
So why did they stop using silver?

Does Our Body Require the Intake of Silver?
Silver occurs naturally in the soil as a trace mineral and is one of many essential elements required by plants, animals, and man. We obtain silver from the food we eat, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and legumes, if this food is grown in organic soil containing living organisms. These organisms assist in making the minerals available to the vegetation.
EPA guidelines outline that a balanced diet would normally contain 90 mcg of silver, if the fresh foods we ate were grown in nutrient rich soil. Today, most of our crops are grown on highly depleted chemically fertilized soils, and we do not get the necessary quantity of many important metallic minerals like iron, zinc, copper, magnesium and chromium; and trace minerals like silver and gold are no longer readily available to us except through the use of mineral supplements.
Dr. Robert Becker noticed a correlation between low silver levels and sickness; colds, flu, etc. Some Biochemists also suspect that a silver deficiency is possibly one of the main reasons cancer exists and is increasing at such a rapid rate today. Becker believed a silver deficiency was the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr Gary Smith, a medical researcher, also suggests that silver may be linked to the proper functioning of the body's natural defense system and that people with an inadequate intake of silver may be more prone to illness.
According to the National Academy of Sciences, silver has no declared value. However, it is important to recognize that it took long periods of time for many of the metal minerals to be officially recognized for the critical roles they play in maintaining health. For several decades, chromium, fluorine, manganese, and selenium had no declared human daily value, even though there was strong scientific evidence that indicated otherwise.
Two Time Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, PhD stated: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency."

Colloidal Silver ~ A Threat to the Pharmaceutical Industry?
Jim Powell, in a Science Digest, March 1978 article titled "Our Mightiest germ Fighter" reported: "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic. He also comments in this same article that an antibiotic kills perhaps 7 different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. The article ended with a quote by Dr. Harry Margraf of St. Louis, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher, who concluded "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have."
In the bestseller, "The Body Electric," Dr. Robert Becker observed a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said the silver deficiency was responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr. Becker's experiments conclude that silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any side effects or damage to any part of the body. He also states that the silver was doing something more than killing disease organisms. It was also causing major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and elderly patients noticed more rapid healing. He discovered that all cancer cells change back to normal cells. All strains of pathogens resistant to other antibiotics are killed by colloidal silver.
If this information is correct, and there is much evidence to support that it is, then my question is: Why has the medical profession abandoned the use of colloidal silver? Why is the public not generallly aware that Silver has been used in medical science for over 100 years and that there are numerous scientific essays and abstracts about astonishing findings that support present day research that Silver is one of the most powerful and non-toxic germ-fighters we have ever had.
I am concerned that the reason has much to do with the Pharmaceutical industry. Colloidal silver is considered to be user-friendly, safe and effective and thereby poses a threat to the drug company profits. Imagine the reduction in the use of antibiotics that could result if everyone used colloidal silver as a first-line-of-defense against infection. And that would only be the tip of the iceberg. Colloidal silver has been given a low and negative profile in the media because it exposes the motives of the Pharmaceutical companies who would rather promote expensive and potentially toxic medications. In the past years, the development of new antibiotics has given way to the production of more lucrative drugs for treatment of heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity. And as reported in the Medical News Today article a drug has been found which may help to stop anti-resistant bacteria.

Colloidal Silver ~ Ignored by Modern Medicine
Colloidal Silver has long been considered a powerful, natural prophylactic/antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, yet it is ignored as an alternative to mainstream medication and treatments.
Dr. Robert Becker writes "Modern medical science has failed too many of us with its single-minded (some would say narrow-minded) approach of drugs and/or surgery alone. There are other approaches that are widely used, effective and cheap which have been almost universally ignored, or worse, targeted for extinction by the medical community. Don't let someone else take your power away and tell you what to do for your own health. You be the judge. Look at what others all over the world have down to cure themselves of a wide variety of illnesses. World wide there have been documented "miracle cures" of everything from cancer, AIDS, diabetes, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and more. The results can be amazing and hard to believe at times, but they are real."
I could not agree more, and I am by nature a very skeptical person. I tried many remedies for CFS that did not work for me; and I stress the for me; this does not mean that they did not work for others. This is also the case with medication and other medical treatments. Every person is unique and responds differently to illness and treatment. It is because of our uniqueness thay you may someday be faced with the realization that the medical profession does not have all the answers and they will say, "There is nothing we can do for you." I have experienced this in my work as a RN and also in my personal life. No one has all the answers, not even the doctors. It is therefore wise, to keep an open mind to alternative treatments and remedies. Seek and learn because knowledge is power. Equipped with knowledge you can make informed decisions and choose what you believe to be the best options for optimal health. We live in a time when we are expected to and often must direct our own health care.
I believe using colloidal silver, is one of those choices. Colloidal silver is non-toxic, safe, effective, with no side-effects. It is a viable option for strengthening the immune system and can be used as a first line of defense against infection, bacterial, fungal and viral. It also functions as an anti-inflammatory and seems to accelerate the healing process.
I have found Colloidal Silver, i.e. The New Silver SolutionTM, to be very effective in treating a wide range of medical ailments. You will have to come to your own conclusions. One thing is important when reading all the information found on the Internet about colloidal silver. Make sure you understand what kind of colloidal silver the information pertains to. General statements are often made, and may be true, but may not be true for all types of colloidal silver. This has lead to much misunderstanding. So, be sure to get the facts straight.

Colloidal Silver ~ What's the Scoop?
Shortly after I joined Nutronix, one of the Tuesday evening product calls featured a guest speaker, Dr. Kenneth Friedman Ph.D. (received his education at MIT and Harvard, with a Ph.D. at the State University of New York and has been published widely). Dr Friedman spoke extensively on the benefits and use of colloidal silver in treating a host of medical conditions. I was very intrigued by what I heard, so I started to do some reading on the topic of colloidal silver. There is an enormous amount of information on the subject of colloidal silver, both for and against. So who is telling the truth and what are the facts?
At the same time, I decided to order the The New Silver SolutionTM marketed exclusively by Nutronix. What I discovered astounded me. I used the colloidal silver to treat ear infections, burns, athletes foot, diaper rash, sinusitis, sore throats, colds, bug bites, minor infections, and so on. I found that the silver solution was effective, very effective in treating all these conditions. In our extended family we have significantly reduced the need for antibiotics, and seen first hand the healing effects of the colloidal silver.
I suffered for endless years with sinusitis. Every year, in spring, I would catch a cold, it would develop into sinusitis and on occasion into bronchitis and pneumonia. Often, several bouts of antibiotics were needed to clear up the infection. Three years ago, I got the usual cold and when my teeth start to ache, I know my sinuses are infected. Using the nasal sprayer, I started using the colloidal silver, spraying it up into my sinus passages. I did this frequently for a few days, by the 3rd day the pain and pressure were subsiding and within a week my sinuses were clear, and I did not need to go on antibiotics. To me this was astounding.
My granddaughter, suffered from frequent ear infections. She was staying with us for an extended time while her mom was ill. After, a couple of trips to the doctor and a few prescriptions, I began to put drops of silver into her ears, anytime I observed her rubbing them, pulling at them and exhibiting the usual crankiness that went along with her ear infections. Within a day she would be herself again and not rubbing her ears any more, and we did not need to see the doctor. She has not been plagued with ear infections since.
On two occasions, I accidentally poured boiling hot water on my hands. I sprayed them with silver immediately, and did so ever few minutes for about 10 minutes. I developed no redness, no blisters, and had no pain. Within I/2 hour, I would not have known that I just burnt my hands. When the same thing happened to my husband just recently, he was amazed at how effective the colloidal silver was in treating the burn. It is also very effective for treating sunburn.
Every heard of Molluscum Contagiosum. This is a very contagious viral skin infection. Unfortunately, one of the grandchildren caught the virus, and that started what I call a minor epidemic. It spread from one child to another. Mollusum is very hard to treat, and after the topical remedies were found ineffective, the dermatologist treated the lesions with Pulsed laser dye therapy. Following this expensive method of treatment, the lesions began to heal, but not before my son, my daughter and myself also developed the infection. I decided to try using the colloidal silver to treat my lesions. Several times each day I would spray the lesions with ionic silver. My son used the topical ointment the dermatologist prescribed. His got worse, while my lesions started to clear and within three weeks had all disappeared. My son, on the other hand, continued to be plagued with them for several months and several specialist visits. Too be honest, I really had not expected it to work, but was very glad it did.
These are just a few examples of my experience in using the silver solution. It worked, and it worked for many different things. So why had I never heard of it before then, and why did my doctor not recommend it to treat the molluscum. Why don't more people know about it and use it? That's what I wanted to know.
I continued to read all the information I could find on Colloidal Silver. There was no shortage of information to glean off the Internet. The challenge was to sort fact from fiction and come to some conclusion based on these facts. Since, I am convinced that there is much benefit to be gained from the use of a proper formulated silver solution, I decided to share my research and findings in the hope of increasing awareness of the benefits of colloidal silver. Much of this information, you will find scattered about on the Internet. I have just collected as much information as I could and tried to figure out what the real Scoop is. In my following entries, I'll share with you what I found and what I think. Happy reading.......

I decided to try using the colloidal silver to treat my lesions. Several times each day I would spray the lesions with ionic silver. My son used the topical ointment the dermatologist prescribed. His got worse, while my lesions started to clear and within three weeks had all disappeared. My son, on the other hand, continued to be plagued with them for several months and several specialist visits. Too be honest, I really had not expected it to work, but was very glad it did.
These are just a few examples of my experience in using the silver solution. It worked, and it worked for many different things. So why had I never heard of it before then, and why did my doctor not recommend it to treat the molluscum. Why don't more people know about it and use it? That's what I wanted to know.
I continued to read all the information I could find on Colloidal Silver. There was no shortage of information to glean off the Internet. The challenge was to sort fact from fiction and come to some conclusion based on these facts. Since, I am convinced that there is much benefit to be gained from the use of a proper formulated silver solution, I decided to share my research and findings in the hope of increasing awareness of the benefits of colloidal silver. Much of this information, you will find scattered about on the Internet. I have just collected as much information as I could and tried to figure out what the real Scoop is. In my following entries, I'll share with you what I found and what I think. Happy reading.......
Have You Heard of Colloidal Silver?
Colloidal Silver. Ever heard of it? Maybe you have, maybe you have not. I hadn't until about 5 years ago and I'd like to share how this came about and what at this time prompted me to start a blog about Colloidal Silver.
I suffer from the debilitating effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a condition that the medical community has not been able to easily diagnose, understand or treat. About 5 years ago, my symptoms were so severe I could barely function. I could hardly get out of bed to care for myself or my family. At that time we lived in a two-storey house, and it was agony to climb the stairs due to the pain in my joints. I had to quit my job, we sold our home and purchased a bungalow. Although things did slowly improve, I was functioning at a significantly lower level of activity than I was prior to becoming ill.
Since I was unable to go back to work, I began to entertain the idea of doing some work at home; something I could do in my own time and at my own pace. I began searching the internet and became intrigued with the idea of a home-based business.
After, I had been diagnosed with CFS and tried the conventional treatments for my symptoms, I began exploring alternative therapies. My doctor was very open to this, and I kept him informed about the different things I tried which included acupucture, chiropractor, chinese herbalist, iridology, reflexology, naturopathy. I am sure I tried ever product out there that claimed to help those suffering form CFS/Fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, nothing ever seemed to be very effective. Because of my own experience and my nursing background, I seemed to be drawn toward the health and wellness industry.
Too make a long story short, during my investigating I came across a company called Nutronix International. They were offering a free sample of Sublingual B-12. This caught my attention because I was taking a B-vitamin compound, as presribed by my doctor. I also understood that taking B-12 sublingually increased the absorption rate into the blood stream making the product more effective. Three days after I took my first dose, I noticed improvement in my energy levels, my memory, concentration and mood. I shared the B-12 product with some family members, who experienced the same boost in energy. After consulting with Bob Bremner, one of the owners, and a wonderfully caring individual, I tried several other products and within a few months was completely free of joint pain. Today I can walk and climb without pain. I joined the company and have been using and marketing their cutting edge nutritional products ever since.
So, what has all this to do with collidal silver? I'll let you know in my next posting...........
