The presence of colloidal silver near a virus,
fungus, bacterium or any other single celled
pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme,
its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes,
the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out
of the body by the immune, lymphatic and
elimination systems.
How It Works
While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs in the late 1970s, Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of The Body
Electric, discovered that silver ions promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria. The March 1978 issue of
Science Digest, in an article, "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter," reported: "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." The article ended with a quote by Dr. Harry Margraf,
a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington
University's Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have."
Contemporary Studies
The Food and Drug Administration today classifies colloidal silver as a pre-1938 drug. A letter from the FDA dated 9/13/91
states: "These products may continue to be marketed . . . as long as they are advertised and labeled for the same use as in
1938 and as long as they are manufactured in the original manner." Some of the manufacturing methods used before 1938 are
still used today. An electro-colloidal process, which is known to be the best method, is used.
Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938. Many remember their grandparents putting silver dollars in milk to prolong its
freshness at room temperature. At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body's most important fluids are
colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles. Blood, for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led
to studies with colloidal silver. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and
was considered quite "high-tech." Production methods, however, were costly. The pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing
colloidal research to be set aside in favor of fast working and financially lucrative drugs.
Early Research
Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it
reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate
without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction
of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food.
