Some info:
The modern era of silver began in 1893 when C.Vion nageli reported the first systematic investigation into the lethal effects of metals (especially silver) towards bacteria and lower life forms. From 1900 to the beginning of the antibiotic era-circa 1940- silver was one of the mainstays of medical practice in europe and america. colliodal silver became the choice of medical practitioners and was used to treat literally hundreds of ailments, including lung infections such as pneumonia, TB, pleurisy, gonorrea, syphilis, cuts, leg ulcers, eczema, impetigo,typhoid, tonsilitus, and many more.

however, with the coming of the antobiotic era and because colloidal silver became increasingly expensive to manufacture, it fell to disuse- it being replaced by first sulfur drugs, then penicillin and since then by hundreds of specialised antibiotics (which drug companies made millions from because they could patent the drug but not the use of silver) under the onslaught of antibiotic warfare,the second half of the 20th century witnessed the seeming eradication, or at least control, of most of mankinds ancient plague scouges.
yet by the 1990s the picture began to change! this is because more and more germ species previously controlled by antibiotics began to develop ways to combat antibiotics. This in turn gave rise to so called super germs, such as killer E. coli, flesh eating Strep a bacteria, multiple antibiotic resistant TB bacteria and chloroguine-resistant malarial parasites. Fortunatly, the timely re-emergence of colloidal silver due to new technology and much reduced costs in production, may prove to be one of the best remedies we have to protect ourselves.
It kills MRSA and Anthrax also.
My mum had a bad infection in her jaw recently, even after the dentist took the tooth out there was pain and swelling, she was given antibiotics, (2 lots) but it was no good.
She took colloidal silver as instructed on the bottle and is now pain free and no swelling.

I would like to add a few notes on colloidal silver. Not all silver is the same and made the same. Please if you use it get it from a good company as I suggested in the other thread. Also, do your home work and read about the side effects. With good quality silver, there is no side effects. But just be carefull. I have used it and I think it is one of the best natural anti-biotics out there. It has time and time helped me get over things that I would normally had to go to my GP for. Though if I told him that, he might not want to see me again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great info Dawn, thanks for sharing, I am going to try this for my infection too.

Where did you find this information, if you don't mind sharing your sources?

Does colloidal silver kill yeast and parasites too? Because I have a bottle that I bought from Herb Allure, and I would like to use it next time this ever-lingering cold flares up again....but I am worried that I might get die-off if it also kills yeast. I'm kind of scared to risk it, because I can't risk severe die-off when I am in school and have a million exams and papers due.

Anyone with candida take this? Did you get die-off? Or does it not kill yeast and I don't have to worry about it?

thanks!

Colloidal Silver is my #1 favorite alternative supplement.

I've used it for years and have had a number of people close to me convert to alternative health methods because of the dramatic success they had with it.

You can use it in your ears, eyes, mouth, on your skin; You can even drink it outright.

I've seen children's ear infections go away in hours after 2 days on antibiotics. I've seen open wounds get better in hours after becoming infected and only getting worse. I've seen eye infections disappear in hours and I've had food poisoning on several occasions that was averted quickly by drinking colloidal silver.

The notion of silverware being used to eat with and drink from is based on a long history of benefits, both known and unknown.

Colloidal silver also eliminates the possibility of causing bacterial mutations like antibiotics do because of they the silver reacts with the call wall. It is harmless to humans as long as the particles are small enough to actually qualify it as a true colloidal solution. If they are not, the silver can deposit under the skin and turn it a grey color (agraria) with no other known side effects. Silver solutions with large particles can occur with cheap units that allow you to make colloidal silver solutions at home. If you get one of these, just make sure you get a good one. I know a lot of people who use them. I just use NSP's colloidal silver.

I've ingested probably 12 to 15 bottles of colloidal silver (total) and it's always been awesome to me and saved me from a lot of suffering.

Because it has to make physical contact with the bacteria it's killing in order to work, it can be used for candida but there may be better solutions such as stimulating the immune system or increasing the production of Secretory A.

Hi Sandi, yes i got the info through the post, its a company where they sell supplements, etc, they also give info on all the things they sell. Il keep a bottle for when anyone in my family needs antibiotics, il just throw the prescription away and take the colloidal silver. I hope it helps your infection.

Russ,

Thanks for the reply above. So it sounds like the Colloidal Silver might kill candida too? I just want to check because I want to use the silver for sinus/flu problems, but I do NOT want to have to worry about it killing off the candida and causing die-off. I'm taking Nystatin for my candida right now, and used many natural antifungals in the past. The natural ones were very effective, and they often caused some bad die-off reactions that lead to flu-like symptoms, brain fog, etc. And I just don't want to risk that happening if I take the Colloidal Silver for other things, like if I want to avoid coming down with the flu, or stop it in its tracks. What do you think?

THANKS!

PS - I did try 1 teaspoon of the Nature's Sunshine silver today, because I think I'm coming down with something and can't risk it because of school. But I'm being cautious and am hesitant to take more because I'm worried about possible yeast die-off.....

I worry that it might kill the good bacteria too, any ideas on that???

Sandi

In the past, I've looked into this issue and found conflicting studies as to whether or not Colloidal Silver kills friendly colon bacteria like bifidolphilus... some studies said it does, others said it does not.

Wish I could be more help.

Hi, not sure why, but Andy Cutler advises strongly against the use of colloidal silver in mercury toxic patients. He has studied mercury for many years, so he must have "some" idea of what he's talking about. Though it might be fine for some people, I'd advise caution. If Andy says to be careful of something, I take notice, because if anything, he's more lenient at times on things than he should be.

Yeah I agree Bex, it is great externally and for maybe rinsing or gargling, but I wouldn't want to orally ingest it on a regular basis...especially for those with metal toxicity or intestinal flora problems. I have read negative things about it too.

So much conflicting info...who to believe??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I have never tried it, i gave it to my mum for tooth pain after antibiotics didnt work and she got well.
I took antibiotics last year that really finished me off, i will never take another course again, it killed off all my good bacteria and everything escalated from there.
If i needed to take them again i wouldnt, i would try my luck with colloidal silver or oregano maybe.

It's so unfortunate but there is so much disinformation out there, especially related to medical subjects.

I now know so many people who use colloidal silver in place of nearly every topical ointment and they have become believers. I have used it on a number of occasions when experiencing the beginnings of food poisoning and it alievated the symptoms almost completely in about an hour. Many of my friends have experienced the same thing.

My brother had an odorous infection that a conventional doctor-prescribed antibiotic did virtually nothing for. Within an hour of the application of colloidal silver, the odor was gone. The next day, there was the first sign of visible healing. Colloidal silver kills bacteria on contact in a way that it cannot become immune to its effects like it can with antibiotics.

I've used it countless times on scratches and scrapes and have never had an infection.

Every negative thing I've read or seen (new story) has been from either mainstream media (which lies more often than most people can believe), or has come from a mainstream medical source. The bottom line is that colloidal silver is eating into pharmaceutical profits because it really works and is much safer and more effective.

Colloidal silver is my favorite alternative medicine/supplement.
