Colloidal silver (CS) is a natural antibiotic which has been used throughout the world for centuries as a

means to destroy microbes of all kinds and to correct many health problems. It was removed from public

use in the United States in the 1920's and 1930's by the medical profession in their move to purge natural

health remedies from the marketplace. As late as August, 1998 the FDA ordered all colloidal silver removed

from all U.S. Health Stores, but due to public outcry, that order has been temporarily relaxed. Today, the

use of colloidal silver is spreading rapidly throughout the medical community in the healing of burn victims.

Medical doctors have never denied the merits of silver in the form of silver nitrate as a bactericide. Silver

nitrate is routinely used in drops put into a baby's eyes at birth to prevent blindness from venereal disease.

Silver acts as a second immune system for humans by destroying bacteria and viruses of all kinds. It is toxic

to bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi (molds), protozoa, and parasites in the egg stage. Therefore, CS will destroy

staph and strep bacteria which are so common in today's health problems. In the silver literature there are

listings of over 650 diseases and health problems that silver in colloidal form will effect in very positive

ways. The frequency of silver is higher than almost all of the known harmful crystal-headed viruses such as

that of AIDS, Ebola, West Nile, and SARS and thus will destroy them. Usually these viruses are no problem

to a person with a strong immune system and good nutrition. Those dying from these diseases today usually

have neither of these.

A colloid is a substance of ultramicroscopic particles. Colloidal silver is nothing more than very tiny particles

of pure silver suspended in distilled water through the process of electrolysis. The smaller the particles in

CS the better the body can assimilate them. Colloidal silver is odorless, tasteless and has no known negative

reaction to any medication, health problem, diet, or artificial alteration to the human body. It is considered,

along with gold and titanium, to be Creator God's natural antibiotic provided for the good health of the people

of planet Earth. Gold has a higher frequency then silver, while the frequency of titanium is higher than gold.

Nothing on planet Earth in microbe form can survive the frequencies of colloidal titanium and colloidal gold,

while colloidal silver will destroy nearly all of them.

Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark has done extensive research and application in the field of holistic health. She has

published her works in various books and newsletters. For further information on colloidal silver, I am

drawing from an edited copy of one of Dr. Clark's Newsletters on the subject.

"What Do We Know About Colloidal Silver?" Edited By: Christine Doyle

From Dr. Clark Newsletter: http://www.silverpuppy.com/drclarknews.html

This article was taken, shortened and altered, from the Dr. Clark Newsletter for practitioners, 'Finding

the Way', by courtesy of the editor, Clinical Nutritionist and practitioner, Christine Doyle, PO Box 33,

The 1994 issue of "Newsweek" featured a six page article, "Antibiotics, The End of Miracle Drugs?" as

the cover story. "The rise of drug-resistant germs is unparalleled in recorded history", according to the

article. "Penicillin and tetracycline lost their power over staph back in the 1950's and 60's. Another antibiotic,

methicillin, provided a backup for a while, but methicillin-resistant staph is now common in hospitals and

nursing homes worldwide. Trying to cripple bacteria's defenses will not do much more than buy us five to ten

years. A better strategy might be to abandon antibiotics altogether in favor of different kinds of drugs." Not

a very pretty picture: bacteria have a tremendous ability to adapt to substances. They can and do mutate to

overcome antibiotics. When the antibiotics destroy the bacteria which are susceptible to them, they can clear

the way for resistant bacteria to move in uninhibited.

Still another problem that has plagued the medical profession from the beginning with modern antibiotics has

been that beneficial bacteria and organisms play various important, natural functions in the body. Antibiotics

often play havoc with some of the friendly organisms, producing long lasting side effects that may be difficult

to correct.

One reason that the antibiotics have been so popular in the medical field is due to the fact that they can be

patented. Therefore, the pharmaceutical companies find it financially worthwhile to keep the doctors educated

in their medicines, while other products go unnoticed. Silver, on the other hand, is not patentable and there

are no huge profits in it, so it is not worth heavy promotion. The high-priced products run over the low cost

products, simply because of profitability. All of this is happening at the same time that disease bacteria are

developing immunity to antibiotics all over the world. The medical profession is alarmed.

Science Digest suggested an answer to all of these catastrophic problems back in March of 1978 in an article

titled "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter". This article by Jim Powell stated: "Thanks to eye-opening research,

silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease

organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic."

Silver has been known to be a bactericide for at least 1200 years. Even in ancient times, it was known to

prevent disease, and it was said that disease could not be transmitted in drinking from a silver cup. Silver

coins were commonly dropped into a jar to prevent the spoilage of milk and other drink, and silver containers

were used to prolong the freshness of foods in general. Wealthy people used to feed their babies with a

silver spoon, which was considered to be a cause of strong healthy growth. Even today, some commonly call

all tableware "silverware" although it is more commonly stainless steel. In the 1920's, 30's and 40's, silver

was ground very fine like flour, suspended in water and was used orally for many infections and disease

conditions, topically on burns, and for fungal infections. Until almost 1970 it was common for scientists to

put a silver dime in a Petri dish to sterilize the dish. Silver was long used for plates for the surgical repair

of bones. After the development of the patented antibiotics, silver was forgotten in the United States and

most other places, although the antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, not viruses, yeast, or fungi.

Now, with the greatly improved modern colloids, the tables are turning and silver may be the most effective

treatment of all.

What exactly is Colloidal Silver (CS)?

Simply put, colloids are extremely minute silver particles suspended in water, with a positive electrical

charge. The smaller the silver particles, the more effective CS has proven to be. The best Colloidal Silver is

produced at the molecular level. A small DC current is passed through an electrolyte (distilled water) with

silver electrodes. Minute, molecular sized particles are drawn off the positive electrode, having a positive

electrical charge. This electrical charge is of primary importance to healing and antibacterial qualities. The

charge slowly dissipates, especially when exposed to light, and therefore, the freshness of the colloid is

important.

In "Colloidal Silver", a booklet produced by the Association for Colloidal Research, it is reported

that: "Medical Journal Reports and documented studies spanning 100 years indicate no known side effects

from oral or IV administration of properly manufactured Colloidal Silver in animal or human testing. There

has never been a reported reaction with Colloidal Silver to any prescription medication."

The evidence appears to support the theory that Colloidal Silver is highly effective against all strains

of pathogenic bacteria, while any one antibiotic is only effective against a few certain bacterial strains.

Furthermore, antibiotics have never been effective against viruses, yeast or fungi. Yet, researchers are telling

us that Colloidal Silver has produced phenomenal results in tissue healing and reconstruction, as well as

reducing scar tissue in clinical tests. Severe cuts and wounds have healed in much less time. Laboratory tests

have shown CS to kill over 650 destructive bacteria, viruses and fungi within minutes of contact.

UCLA ran some tests on Colloidal Silver and their report states: "The silver solutions were antibacterial for

Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Salmonella

Typhi, and other enteric pathogens, fungicidal for Candida albicans, Candida globata, and M. furfur, and it

killed every virus that was tested in the lab".

Other voices:

Dr. Hirschberg, John Hopkins: "...remarkable for their beneficial action in infective states". Dr. Henry

Cooks: "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory tests within six minutes". Dr. Gary

Smith: "When silver was present the cancer cell was de-differentiated and the body was restored".

Certain bacteria are essential to healthy body function. Several researchers claim Colloidal Silver only

attacks the unfriendly pathogens and will not harm the friendly ones, but one must wonder how it can

possibly differentiate. The explanation is that the friendly bacteria are aerobic, while unfriendly bacteria

are anaerobic. Silver does not attack bacteria directly, but rather decomposes certain enzymes the anaerobic

bacteria, viruses, yeast, and molds require. The silver acts as a catalyst and is not consumed in the process. It

is probable that this indirect action is also the reason bacteria cannot develop a resistance to silver, as they do

to antibiotics.

Some researchers do tell us, however, that in prolonged, very heavy doses, some silver compounds will leave

gray deposits in the heavier skin folds such as the knuckles. This condition is known as "Argyria". The only

problem to these deposits is said to be the cosmetic appearance and the condition is said to be rare. Some

experts say this condition has never been known to occur from silver in the colloidal state. Other experts do,

however, warn that this might be a problem with extremely high, prolonged dosages (such as drinking many

quarts of CS per day over months of time). The very small particle size in the Colloidal Silver would seem to

make this possibility remote. Argyria is correctable with laser treatment, like a tattoo. (It should be noted that

there has been only one case of Argyria reported in the world in the last 100 years.)

Medical Uses

In the 1970's Dr. Carl Moyer, Chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery, received a

grant to develop better treatments for burn victims. Dr. Harry Margraf worked with Dr. Moyer and other

surgeons, a chief biochemist on this project. They tested 22 antiseptic compounds and rejected all of them.

The problem was that infections in burns often failed to respond to antibiotics. Most antiseptics actually

destroy the delicate healing tissues in severe burns and were very painful. The greatest problem was the

bacterium Pseudomonas acruginose, which is particularly infectious to burns and fails to respond to all

common antibiotics.

In his research into medical history, Dr. Margraf found numerous references to silver as an antimicrobial

agent. Dr. Margraf therefore tried silver nitrate, the same solution used in newborn babies' eyes at birth to

prevent blindness from venereal disease. It worked! However, he found it disturbed the balance of body salts,

stained everything it touched, and in high concentrations was corrosive and painful. After further study he

found that all of these problems were solved by Colloidal Silver. With Colloidal Silver as the base, he then

developed a salve that has been extremely effective in treating the infections and healing in serious burns.

Colloidal Silver is now routinely used for severe burn victims, resulting in a large reduction of scarring and a

heavy reduction of deaths for extensive severe burns.

The article in Science Digest, March, 1978, relates: "A speeding car overturned and burst into flames. The

18-year-old driver suffered burns all over his face, neck, arms, hands, back, stomach, and legs. Burns covered

more than 80 percent of his body. Until recently, this would have been a death sentence. Doctors knew how

to restore vital body fluids and salts, but had no way to fight infection, the primary cause of death in burn

cases. Fortunately, for this youth, a new silver compound killed deadly bacteria and enabled him to heal. He

was out of the hospital within four months."

Another line of research that has led to this change of thinking is described in the best seller: "The Body

Electric", in which Robert O. Becker, leading research scientist in the field of bone regeneration, states: "The

germ killing action of silver has been known for some time. The Soviets use silver ions to sterilize recycled

water aboard their space stations. It kills even antibiotic-resistant strains, and also works on fungus

infections." He goes on to say: "It stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most common stubborn infections

of all kinds of bacteria, and stimulates healing in the skin and other soft tissues."

Certainly that is a broad statement, but Dr. Becker further relates a fascinating story which would seem to

substantiate his belief. A man's broken right tibia and fibula refused to bond and the skin refused to heal over

a large area of the leg for a year and a half. The leg was infected with five kinds of bacteria, all of which

refused to respond to antibiotics. As a last resort before amputation, Dr. Becker treated the condition with

silver charged with a very minute electrical current. This produced silver ions in the bone area and at the

surface area. "I debrided (cleaned) the wound, removing the dead tissue and all grossly infected or dead bone.

There wasn't much left afterward. It was an enormous excavation running almost from his knee to his ankle.

In the operating room, we soaked a big piece of silver nylon in saline solution and laid it over the wound. We

packed the fabric in place with saline-soaked gauze, wrapped the leg, and connected the battery unit."

"About two weeks later", Dr. Becker tells us, "all of our bacterial cultures were sterile -- all five kinds had

been killed. The soft healing tissue, called granulation tissue, was spreading out and covering the bone. In

two weeks the whole base of the wound, which had been over eight square inches of raw bone, was covered

with this friendly pink carpet. The skin was beginning to grow in, too, so we could forget about the grafts we

thought we'd need to do. I decided to take an X-ray to see how much bone he'd lost." He was expecting the

bone to start withdrawing before the knitting process began. "I could hardly believe the picture. There was

clearly some bone growth! I removed the cast, felt the leg, and found that the pieces were all stuck together.

John watched, and when I was done, he lifted his leg into the air triumphantly."

After extensive experiments along these lines, Dr. Becker concluded: "Cells exposed to positive silver ions

profoundly stimulate healing in a way unlike any known natural process. Whatever its precise mode of action

may be, the electrically generated silver ion can produce enough cells for blastomas; it has restored my belief

that full regeneration of limbs and other body parts can be accomplished in humans."

Dr. Becker's experiments seem to show that Colloidal Silver not only kills the pathogens, but also produces

dramatic healing of tissue such as his statement of the skin growth on the leg quoted above. The silver ion

produces some cells with no differentiation. These cells can turn into any cell that is needed. Only these de-

differentiated cells can be used to create the cells necessary to replace destroyed cells such as in a wound or

rebuild missing tissue. It seems to be for this reasoning that Colloidal Silver heals injuries without scarring,

or at last greatly reduces scarring, while greatly accelerating the reconstruction or general healing of wounds.

Scar tissue develops when de-differentiated cells are in short supply. Therefore it would seem, from the

evidence at hand, that CS could reduce or prevent internal scarring and promote internal healing after surgery.

Other medical uses:

In "Report: Colloidal Silver, Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4", it is stated "Silver aids the developing

fetus in growth, health, and eases the delivery and recovery." Hospitals routinely use it in new-born infants'

eyes to prevent 'infection caused' blindness. Silver seems to be even more promising against AIDS, and there

seems to be no doubt that silver supports the T-cells in their fight against foreign organisms in the blood. It

virtually forms a second immune system, actually protecting and defending T-cells. It is strongly suggested

by research scientists such as Dr. Gary Smith and others that silver ions are essential to the immune system.

Marvin Robey, has personally used a strong dose of Colloidal Silver (4 oz. of 500 parts per million) for

a 'cold' in its early stages. It provided relief in two hours and cured the cold completely in about 24 hours.

Others say that it quickly cures their colds in more advanced stages.

Physiological information about CS

The body's ability to process the tiny atoms of Colloidal Silver makes silver build-up in the body impossible.

The Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center reports a 'no toxicity' listing for CS. If

particles are small enough you can even drink arsenic! Examining a bottle of colloidal minerals from a local

health store you may notice nickel, arsenic and lead among the trace minerals on the ingredients list.

CS is the only form of silver that can be used safely as a supplement. It is absorbed into the tissues at a slow

enough rate that is not irritating to tissues, unlike silver nitrate which reacts violently with tissues because of

its caustic action.

The body has a vital need for silver to produce new healthy cells. Since our blood is also a colloid, the

harmonious way the colloids enter the body may well make Colloidal Silver the safest medicine on earth

Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD, says that a deficiency of silver in the diet contributes to disease. In fact he found

that those with low levels of silver in their body had frequent colds, flu, and sicknesses. He feels that a silver

deficiency can be the cause of improper functioning of the immune system.

"Used in the space shuttle"

When will we see silver in our everyday life for non-medical use? It seems it is already more prominent in

our lives than most people realize. In Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4, Pg. 5 we read: "In the former

Soviet Union, silver is used to sterilize recycled water aboard space shuttles. NASA has also selected a silver/

water system for its space shuttle. Internationally, many airlines use silver water filters to guarantee passenger

safety against water-borne diseases such as dysentery. The Swiss government has approved use of such silver

water filters in homes and offices. In the U.S some city municipalities use silver in the treatment of sewage.

Silver works so well in purifying water that it is sometimes used to purify swimming pool water. It does

not sting the eyes as chlorine does, and it does kill mosquito larva. An experiment conducted in Nebraska

demonstrates its effectiveness. Fifty gallons of raw sewage were pumped into a pool without any disinfectant.

A standard measure of contamination is the count of E. coli, a bacteria organism found in the intestinal

tract. The count soared to 7000 E. coli cells per milliliter of water. When the water was exposed to silver

electrodes, within three hours it was completely free of E. coli."

How you can use Colloidal Silver

Add CS to drinking water when on holiday or camping. Sterilize anything from tooth brushes to surgical

instruments, spray on garbage to prevent decay odors, disinfect dish cloths, cutting boards; add when canning,

preserving or bottling fruits and vegetables; spray in shoes and between toes to kill fungus; disinfect bath

water, use as gargle, douche, colon irrigation, nasal spray; drop onto bandages and plasters to hasten healing

time; soak dentures; spray refrigerator, freezer, food storage containers to stop mildew, mold, wood rot, fungi.

Use to spray pet's bedding; use in cleaning and mopping solutions. Spray on the top of open jam jars and

food lids before closing to prevent mold. Spray air ducts; use in the final washing machine rinse cycle, and

dishwashers. Spray around plant roots to stop rot; spray foliage to remove aphids and mold; use inside gloves

and under fingernails, rinse fruit and vegetables, use in shampoos and rinsing water; spray pets and use in pet

drinking water; spray carpets, wipe telephone mouthpieces, headphones, hearing aids; spray mattresses and

allow to dry to kill dust mites; clean combs and glasses. Apply to baby for diaper rash and spray inside of

diapers. Clean bathrooms, kitchens, floors, underwear, pillowcases, etc., etc.

Swishing the solution briefly under the tongue before swallowing ensures faster absorption and destroys

mouth bacteria. In several days CS will have accumulated in the tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin. It is

eliminated via the kidneys, lymph and bowel within three weeks.

CS is painless on cuts and abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for sinus stuffy nose and even in babies

eyes, because unlike antiseptics it does not destroy tissue cells. Inside the body silver forms no toxic features.

It cannot react or interfere with any other medication being taken.

Dr. Hulda Clark feels that sufficient CS is ingested from cleaning the teeth. Perhaps more is needed in certain

conditions. Other doctors suggest one or two teaspoons daily. There is no limit for external use. In general,

modern Colloidal Silver is of much better quality than it was in the 1930's and 40's due to modern knowledge

of how to produce it. Still better news is that you can produce the Colloidal Silver of the finest quality

yourself for pennies a bottle. This way, you know it is fresh and you have a better idea of the concentration

and quality.

When current is applied to silver in solution the particles that break off will always be the same size: 1.26

angstroms (.000126 microns). This is so small that its nearest rival is an atom. Very simple, inexpensive,

easily used and maintainable equipment is now available by several manufacturers to make your own

Colloidal Silver of the finest quality, absolutely fresh. To purchase ready made CS is highly expensive.

To make it for yourself via a little machine costs only cents. Important: Dr. Clark's comments regarding

CS: "The purity of the silver is an important issue. The manufacturer of the silver should divulge this. Use

only 99.99% pure silver.
