Silver was long used to make plates for the surgical repair of bones.
In the twenties, thirties and forties silver was ground very fine, like
flour, and was used orally for many infections and disease conditions,
topically on burns and for fungal infections. Over 650 bacteria, virus
and fungi were considered treatable with this silver in 1938. With the
development of the patented antibiotics, silver lost usage in the United
States and most other places, although the antibiotics are only effective
against bacteria, not viruses, yeasts or fungus, as is silver. Now, with
the greatly improved colloids, the tables are turning, and silver may
be the most effective treatment."
Also, with the rise of drug resistant bacteria and the over use of antibiotics in our medical practices and in our food chain, it is perhaps prudent to reexamine this ancient remedy.
Silver, whether in the colloidal form or in other forms, is once more receiving widespread attention in the medical community. Silver is known to kill almost a hundred times more disease organisms than antibiotics. Further, resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver in the colloidal form is non-toxic and in other forms virtually non-toxic. Says a pioneering silver researcher, Dr. Harry Margraf of St. Louis, "Silver is the best all around germ fighter we have."
Definition: Colloid--a substance composed of particles that are extremely small but larger than most molecules.
The particles in colloidal silver do not actually dissolve, but remain suspended in structured distilled water.
Colloids also play an important part in organic functions such as digestion and excretion.
There is no microbe known that is not killed by colloidal silver in six minutes or less, at a dilution of as little as 5 parts per million, although there are no side effects whatsoever from high concentrations.
It also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and even elderly patients notice more rapid healing.
Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom, of the Karolinkska Institute, Sweden, has used silver in his cancer cure method for many years. He says the whole thing is quite simple. It brought rapid remission in patients given up by other doctors.
Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver
Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reports: "In
four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for silver."
