What Every Parent and Pet Owner Should Know and Every Household Should Possess
By Anne Willis MLDuk(CDT)
Recently the big chemists and supermarkets have been promoting a new range of sticking plasters and dressings that are impregnated with Colloidal Silver. But what is it and why put it on plasters? Can it be taken in other other form and how is it beneficial to health?
First, it is neccessary to explain just what is meant by 'colloidal'. The term 'colloidal' refers to 'colloids'. A colloid is a substance composed of particles that are extremely ultra fine and ultra light. In fact, all living things exist in a colloidal state. Colloids are 0.005-0.015 microns in diameter. These ultra fine and ultra light particles in a colloid do not dissolve but remain suspended in a suitable liquid. This assures the best absorption and use by the body.
Before any medication can be used, the body must convert it from a crystalline state to a colloidal state. The body can more readily use medications already in the colloidal form, as opposed to the crystalline. Most over-the counter medications are in a crystalline state.
Why Silver?
Silver is a powerful antibiotic because it acts as a catalyst, disabling the particular enzyme that many bacteria, fungus and viruses use for their metabolism. It effectively destroys their 'chemical lung'. The disease causing organisms either starve or suffocate, for many others their internal protoplast collapse if their bodily charge is opposite to the silver particles, and still others are unable to reproduce themselves. Yet silver particles, if small enough (as in a good quality colloid), do not harm the human or animal host.
Silver is an unusual element in health science. It is a pure all natural solid metallic form, consisting of sub-microscopic particles suspended in an aqueous liquid medium, by an electrical charge placed in each particle.
Silver in our Bodies?
We get Silver and all minerals in the body through the food we eat. This comes directly from organic soil. This soil is rich in living organisms. These organisms break down the soil, so plants are provided minerals, in a form assimilable to the plant. Hence we get silver naturally from the minerals present in organically grown plants. If we eat plants that have been grown on chemical fertilisers, as most plants are grown today, without living organisms in the soil to help provide nutrition to the plant, we do not get the quality of vitamins and minerals which are available in organically grown foods. Thus, deficiencies develop. As the tissues age, or if we cannot assimilate silver for some reason, we develop a silver deficiency and an impaired immune system that can lead to cancer and other diseases. Some suspect a silver deficiency is possibly one of the main reasons cancer exists and is increasing at such a rapid rate today.
A colloidal of silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic. It is a usable form of the most effective disease, germ, virus and fungus killer available. It has been found to be both a remedy and prevention for colds and flu, most infections and all fermentation due to any bacteria, fungus or virus, especially staph and strep, which are often found in diseased conditions. It has been reported to rapidly subdue inflammation and promote faster healing. The body needs Silver to fight disease-causing organisms and to aid healing. Taken daily, it is like having a second immune system, resulting in more energy, vitality and faster healing with less bodily toxins. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms, but Silver is known to be successful against over 650 diseases without any known harmful side effects or toxicity to the body.
Colloidal Silver is an amazing alternative to Antibiotics. Biomedical research has shown that Colloidal Silver can help combat bacteria, virus or fungal infections. Also resistant strains fail to develop when using silver as a treatment plus at the correct concentration it is virtually non-toxic to humans.
Dr. Robert Becker, Professor of Orthopaedics at New York State University and a noted silver researcher, noticed a correlation between low silver levels and sickness as well a slow regeneration of bones. People who had low silver levels were frequently sick, had innumerable colds, flu, fevers and other sicknesses. He said he believed a silver deficiency was the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system. He found that silver works on a wide range of bacteria, without any side effects or damage to the cells of the body, and can stimulate major growth of injured tissues. He also found that Colloidal Silver was essential for regeneration of cells and found that broken limbs suddenly started to heal with the introduction of silver and micro-current stimulation
It is interesting that in the 1990's we have found that the silver mineral does have an effect on other pathogenic bacteria, virus and fungi, we have also found some limitations. Silver does not kill or inhibit all forms of bacteria, virus or fungi. Actually, this is good news for us. If Silver killed all organisms then it would also kill essential healthy flora, necessary to maintain life, both human and animal.
Many people have reported that they have found Colloidal Silver effective against:
· Acne
· Athlete's Foot
· Bacterial Infections
· Thrush
· Candida
· Cystitis
· Eczema
· Ulcers
· Sores
· Warts
· Yeast Infections
· Fungal Infections
· Tonsillitis
· Haemorrhoids (piles)
· Herpes
· Psoriasis
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 applied directly to cuts, scrapes, eczema, acne and open sores. A few drops on a plaster and worn over abrasions, open sores and even warts helsp to promote healing. It has been successfully used in the treatment of these conditions. It can be taken orally for general health and wellbeing and to enhance immunity. Depending on an individuals body weight, age, metabolism and general health, a typical dosage of Silver has ranged from an eighth of a teaspoon to as high as three teaspoons.
On file are reports from many people who have reported the prevention or a reduction of several illnesses during changing seasons or the rapid recovery of current illnesses. As mentioned before it is like having another immune system. Others, after taking an individually determined dosage, have gone through a "cleansing" of bodily toxins prior to full recovery from illnesses. Documentation reports neither adverse side effects nor any harm to the person taking Silver.
It is also harmless to pets - dogs, cats, rabbits etc - even horses. Sprayed onto a cleansed cut it can accelerate healing and help prevent infection due to its anti-biotic, anti-septic properties. It is easy to apply so does not involve extra stress to the animal concerned.
Colloidal Silver is available to us today not only in sticking plasters but also as a liquid in a convenient spray bottle. It can be taken orally as a daily immune system support, as a throat spray at the onset of a cold or sore throat, directly onto the skin for cuts, grazes, burns and other minor injuries. It can be sprayed onto a plaster or dressing to be held against the skin. My own family use it frequently - my four children use it automatically for many reasons from scrapes to spots to cold sores, from colds to tummy upsets to hang nails! Used early it can prevent problems developing into a full blown infection, it will reduce inflammation (usually visibly within an hour) and ease pain. Every home should have at least 1 bottle to hand. Once you realise the power of Colloidal Silver, you won't want to be without it!
