What is Colloidal Silver
Simply put, colloidal silver is pure
elemental silver that is evenly distributed into a second substance, i.e. water. The
silver is not "dissolved" but "suspended" evenly throughout the
solution as a result of the positive electrical charge that is attached to each particle
of silver as it is electrically sintered off the silver electrode into the water.
The charged [silver particles] (silver ions) form into aggregates of atoms
(micro-clusters) of silver that interact with each other and create a synergistic effect,
each electrically charged particle of the micro-cluster has a magnetic field, together the
particles create a phenomena called the "Brownian movement", it is a sort of
random oscillating motion. In other words the micro-clusters are in motion and repelling
each other, the individual particles of the clusters have a positive charge and therefore
repel each other, that is how they stay suspended and evenly distributed in the water.
How does Colloidal Silver Work
The observed effects that colloidal
silver water produces appear to be the result of the silver micro cluster's frequency,
motion & magnetic field that the particles generate. The "Brownian Motion" i.e. the
collective magnetic field of the colloidal silver particles, have several effects. These
micro-clusters of silver have a frequency that is apparently disruptive to pathogens, they
have a positive charge. The oscillating silver particles seemingly gyrate in the water of
the body magnetically surrounding pathogens with colloidal silver catalyst water, and may
be actually restructuring the water of the body to a more usable form. The colloidal
silver, acting as a catalyst, as a primary function may produce structured water. This
structured colloidal silver water may then encompass and penetrate the pathogenic cells
and the structured silver catalyst water as one resulting effect disables the oxygen
metabolizing enzyme, destroying these pathogenic particles, not by attack, but by creating
an environment hostile to it's existence.
Colloidal silver acts as a catalyst, meaning that it creates a chemical/molecular reaction
by its' presence, but is not consumed or altered in this reaction. This may account for
the reason pleomorphic or mutated strains of the pathogens do not form, or create a
resistance to silver. And may also account for pleomorphic or mutated strains being just
as vulnerable to colloidal silver as other pathogens. The magnetic field and Brownian
movement effect may account for the apparent selective destruction of NEGATIVE cells.

The colloidal silver micro-clusters frequency is disruptive to the pathogenic cells'
ability to manufacture the enzyme used to process oxygen. Pathogenic (harmful) cells, as
well as our healthy cells need to quickly replace their spent oxygen used to survive,
without the required enzyme certain pathogenic cells need, they are in effect suffocated
within 6 minutes of initial contact with the silver.
Furthermore researchers have also noticed that the Herxheimer effect, sometimes referred
to as a healing crisis or healing response caused by a reaction in the body to the toxins
of the dead pathogenic cells as they "die off" and decompose, is lessened or not
as apparent with the use of colloidal silver.
Some research indicates that the colloidal silver appears to concentrate in the Kuppfer
cells of the liver. Colloidal silver localized in the kuppfer cells of the liver, may be
allowing the body to grab and filter out the pathogens with the help of the silver that is
localized in the livers' Kuppfer cells and sweep them from the body before the pathogen is
lysed, lysed meaning to decompose/dissolve. What appears to happen is that the dead
pathogens are immediately swept from the human body and removed by elimination process
before there is a substantial toxic buildup.
Other reportedly observed effects such as rapid cell regeneration, tissue and bone repair
and reduced inflammation, may be accounted for as an effect of the body having an
increased presence of highly charged colloidal mineral particles used to form structured
water. The body may use this highly structured water to accomplish many tasks in the body
that are beneficial, yet not currently fully understood.
Earlier I mentioned , research by Dr. Robert O. Becker, which indicated that during
laboratory tests he conducted, cancer cells were reverted back to normal, (not kill them,
but return them to normal.) Other observations he and others have made such as a
correlation between silver deficiency and illness, proper immune system functioning, soft
tissue and bone repair acceleration, the formation of cells that appear to be able to
repair virtually any part of the body, reduction of inflammation, antimicrobial,
antifungal, antibiotic properties etc. All of these observations are yet to be fully
understood.

How much should I use
To understand how much Colloidal
Silver to use let's briefly cover How long colloidal silver has been around. True
colloidal silver, is a condition or state that happens to pure natural elemental silver
(for example) when an electrical current is applied to it within a solution, usually
water. There are approximately 6,000 lighting events every minute here on planet earth.
Before man gathered nearly all the surface silver into vaults, coinage, electronics &
jewelry etc. there was ample opportunity for the steady creation of Colloidal silver, and
for it's presence to be spread far and wide within the water table.
The colloidal state is also produced by soil based organisms and erosion which break down
the silver into particles that are small enough to then be absorbed into plants. Within
the plant the particles are further affected by processes such as photosynthesis. Minerals
derived from plants are primarily in the colloidal state. With an abundance of silver at
the earth's surface and water usually present during lightning events, in combination with
erosion and decomposition, it's easy to hypothesize that colloidal silver has been around
virtually forever. The question then is not how long has colloidal silver been around, but
rather; when did it stop being around?
Under ordinary circumstances, daily consumption of fruits and vegetables would yield an
intake of approximately 50-100 mcg of silver in the form of a trace element, as reported
In 1940 by R. A. Kehoe. Ref. (15.)
What isn't taken into account is that our food supply does not provide enough minerals ,
and hasn't for a long time as evidenced by these excerpts from "U.S. Senate Document
264: 74 Th Congress, 2 ND Session, 1936 "
( back to top)
"Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our
systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or
carbohydrates we consume."
"Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet
deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are
brought into proper mineral balance?"
"The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on
millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving
us - no matter how much of them we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and
vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because
his stomach isn't big enough to hold them."
"The truth is that our foods vary enormously in value, and some of them aren't worth
eating as food...Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we
take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of
starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume."
"It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American people
are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more
important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable
lack or one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we
sicken, suffer, shorten our lives." ( back to top)
"We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to
nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special
structure in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not
commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body's appropriation of minerals,
and in the absence of minerals they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the
system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless."
-- 74 TH Congress, 2 ND Session, Senate Document No. 264, 1936. --
Do you think our soils have improved since then? The "Earth Summit Report, 1992
issue, reported that the levels of soil based minerals in North America have decreased by
85% of the levels found 100 years ago. Considering that the 50-100 mcg of silver that
would occur in a normal diet in 1940, which is after the 1936 congressional report, when
there already was evidence of a serious mineral depletion of the soil. It would make sense
that to achieve a level of intake equivalent to the amounts of our pre-industrialized
ancestors, would in fact require an amount higher than 50-100 mcg. Currently there is no
established RDA for silver.
Information about how much silver may have been in our ancestors diet is speculative,
however; given the authoritative report by our own government some 60 years ago there is
reason to believe that supplementing the body's intake of silver makes sense. One teaspoon
of 10 PPM colloidal silver .001 to .004 particle size contains approximately 50 mcg
(millionths of a gram) Therefore two teaspoons would contain an equivalent level to that
found in the USA food supply of more than 60 years ago. It could be argued that the amount
taken to reach a level equal to our pre-industrialized ancestors could even be more than
double that figure.
Taking silver in amounts that exceed these figures, for instance 1-3 tablespoons a day
could be considered a therapeutic level. I personally take an ounce of colloidal silver
above my daily intake. For instance; if I feel run down or a cold like symptom feels like
it is coming on. I have not had a cold now in about 3 years. It is common to hear people
who use colloidal silver state that they either do not get sick at all, or if they do,
colloidal silver is attributed in their testimonies to greatly speed recovery. Oh and by
the way I still am not blue! Note: Please read the disclaimer!

Are Colloids Good for Us
When a plant or animal consumes
water, that water is said to then become structured primarily into highly organized
octagonal shaped liquid crystals, very few of the water molecules consumed remain
unorganized. Living things accomplish this by using highly charged colloids, which form
the nuclei around which the highly organized crystalline lattice forms.
In other words all the cells of the body or other living things use "charged
colloidal minerals" to organize water molecules into a form that may set the stage
for the basic building blocks of cells to form, as well as for other processes. The
particles appear to form a foundation upon which to organize and build cells. We are
mostly water by volume. Water is the greatest component from which cells form. We are made
up of a multitude a various cells and cell types. Physically speaking, we are our cells!
Our cells serve us die and are replaced at an almost unimaginable rate every moment we are
alive. In order to be healthy our cells need the ingredients to do their job. Our cells
work tirelessly, and only ask that they be given what they need to do their job. Although
this is a simplified explanation, you can easily speculate just how important positively
charged colloidal minerals combined with water are to all living things.

Are there side effects?
Have you heard the story about how
colloidal silver allegedly turns people blue? If not, you probably will, so here is some
good information which will enable you to form an educated perspective.
If it were true that people turn blue from too much or improperly formulated colloidal
silver? Where are the documented cases? For many years now, literally millions of people
have been using colloidal silver daily, don't you think the result of their turning blue
would by now have become a big issue? As it stands there are only a few detractors making
big efforts to site a case or two from the past, what they neglect to make clear is that
these cases involve "Silver Nitrate: Or other similar compounds and not colloidal
silver produced through current technology.
In order for particles to become lodged within tissue the particles would have to be
larger than the bodies transport system, and other tissue components. "The capillary
lumen of the human body is 4-9 microns." Much larger than colloidal silver particles.
Refs. (1,2,3,4-A)
The term Argyria describes the condition of a bluish gray color of the skin, and Argyosis
the bluing of the eye white, resulting from the use of SILVER COMPOUNDS. To better
understand the misunderstanding regarding Argyria, I will quote from the book "the
Micro Silver bullet™" by Dr. M. Paul Farber 1996 page XII (ISBN 1-887742-00-X)
( back to top)
In reference to a "Journal of American Medical Association, article, October 18 1995,
volume 274 # 15," where cases of Argyria were cited to have been caused by silver
compounds (not colloidal silver)
"These Case history presentations represent biased and unprofessional writing. The
author's apparent inability to understand the difference between a silver nitrate,
sulfide, or other silver compound demonstrates their lack of understanding basic chemical
properties. The matrix, substrate, and particle size are all critical to the varied
functions and reactions with use of these products."
Further on the same page.
"That is why there has not been a single case of Argyria from a properly manufactured
modern day colloidal sliver product. The cases of Argyria reported in the 1920's and
1930's resulted because the technology of the day was unable to produce a colloidal silver
product with a small enough particle size." Ref. (4-A)
The reported cases of Argyria usually involve very high and frequent doses of silver
salts/compounds such as Silver sulfate, silver nitrate or silver chloride.
The Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center reports no toxicity listing
for Colloidal Silver, it is therefore considered harmless in any concentration. However
all of the silver salts are identified as toxic, although the only adverse effect noted is
Argyria.
