1. History of Colloidal Silver

Silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic that has been used for thousands of years, with no harmful side effects ever having being observed.
Great Grandma put a silver dollar in the milk to keep if from spoiling as it sat on the back porch in summertime. Also it is well known that the ancient Greeks knew the medical value of silver. It was observed that those ancient families who ate from silver utensils rarely were sick and had few infections. This knowledge passed on to kings, emperors, sultans and their families and members of their royal courts. They ate from silver plates, drank from silver cups, used silver utensils and stored their food in silver containers. As a result of this use, silver was ever so slightly rubbed off and mixed in their foods. And after a generation or two, they received the full benefit from the silver particles which found their way into the body of these people, hence had little chance of getting any infectious illness. These royals were called Blue Bloods because their skin had a blue tint, due to the accumulation of minute traces of pure metallic silver. The common red blooded folk, however, ate from earthenware dishes with iron utensils and frequently were sick, whilst the royals enjoyed the freedom from infectious disease as early as from birth. There are many historical references on Colloidal Silver. One of the most complete is published in The Lancet dated Dec. 12, 1914. Colloidal Silver was in common use in America from the late 1800s until 1938. It was prescribed for a great variety of diseases and infections. There were none of today's antibiotics available, and Colloidal Silver was used for just about everything. But Colloidal Silver was relatively expensive back then, just as today's man made antibiotics are expensive.

CURRENT MEDICAL INTEREST

Today, Colloidal Silver is rapidly gaining favor in the medical community, reflecting a kind of revival in the public health sector. Dr. Richard L Davies, executive director of the Utah Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reported in 1978: In four years we have described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We are just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering and save lives. Some contemporary references from which this information is drawn include Dr. Harry Margraf of the St. Louis University, Dr. Charles Fox of the Columbia University; Dr. Carl Moyer, Dept. of Surgery at Washington University and the literature of Dr. Robert Becker- ô The Body Electric and Crosscurrents Other sources are listed in the references chapter of this booklet.

TITRATION Determining the amount needed.

Begin with the recommended amount of one teaspoon per day. Use half the recommended amount for young children and one fourth for babies. ---After taking one teaspoon of Colloidal Silver daily for four days, adults may cut back to one -half teaspoon daily ( and proportionally, by body weight, for children) ---The accepted method is for an adult to consume a 125 ml to 200 ml bottle of Colloidal Silver monthly, in any convenient increment any time during the month. ( THIS IS SUBJECT TO SOME DEBATE ON THIS AS PER USE EVERYDAY....BE PRUDENT IN THIS ) In the event a person begins taking Colloidal Silver while having a cold or flu or for any other virus, bacteria or fungus, - the daily amount should begin with triple the dosage ( one teaspoon three times a day) for three days, then follow the above regimen. Some people will feel achy and sluggish on the third or fourth day after beginning Colloidal Silver daily. This is called a healing crisis. When the body sluffs off a great many entrenched toxins at once, the eliminatory organs can become overloaded in which case it is recommended to drink lots of extra water this will lessen the symptoms rapidly. If a person, taking the daily amount, finds that he or she will still occasionally have an infection, one may even quadruple the RDD. There should be no danger of overdosing; however, very few people ever need four times the RDD. Since prevention is the idea here, one may err on the side of safety by taking slightly more than a perfect minimum because one never knows when there may be a sudden major outbreak of some germ in such numbers so as to overwhelm the combined defenses of an immune system fortified with only a minimum level of Colloidal Silver. If an attack of germs happens to be stronger than the immediate combined defense level of the body's natural immune system plus a particular level of daily Colloidal Silver, one may feel some illness, or worse. RECOMMENDED DAILY AMOUNTS Individual response may vary from the average amount of Colloidal Silver needed for optimum benefit for most people. About 17 per cent, or one sixth of the population will find maximum benefit from a less than recommended daily amount. And about another sixth will find they need to take more. BODY BUILDUP AND ELIMINATION :Five to seven days is average for the initial benefit of Colloidal Silver to begin. Colloidal Silver will build up in the tissues to at least a concentration of five parts per million (5 ppm) at, on the average, by the tenth day. This is the minimum effective concentration. Higher concentrations are desirable, due to the risks of illness from major exposure to a disease outbreak or major burn injury. One to three weeks after cessation ( again this varies with each individual) the Colloidal Silver effectiveness is finally lost and is eliminated through the kidneys, the lymphatic system and the bowel.

APPLIED KINESIOLOGY

Applied kinesiology is one other means of determining one's own individual need for Colloidal Silver, especially if the individual does not have a cold or other infection to begin with. Recheck from time to time, but always err on the side of excess. Kinesiology can be the most effective way to determine the optimum amount for infants, and very young children also.
. Colloidal Silver, an Exceptional Antibiotic

Colloidal Silver is the only antibiotic known reportedly to kill all types of viruses, funguses and bacteria. Colloidal Silver is also the only antibiotic known to be perfectly harmless to all parts of the body. ùùùùù(INCREASING PROBIOTIC USE IS REQUIRED, IT WILL ALSO REMOVE HEALTHY FLORA IN THE INTESTINAL TRAC) ùùùùùWhilst the liver and kidneys can be harmed by other antibiotics, Colloidal Silver promotes healing.

COMPARE WITH OTHER ANTIBIOTICS

Colloidal Silver is non-toxic to mammals, reptiles, plants and all living things that are not of a one celled structure. One-celled life uses a different method of Oxygen metabolism. herein lies its weakness. Since Colloidal Silver acts only as a catalyst, meaning , it influences a change in the rate, or occurrence of a reaction of one-celled organisms, but does not enter into any chemical reaction with the body tissues. The mere presence of Colloidal Silver near any virus, fungus or bacterium (one-celled disease causing pathogens) will immediately cripple their oxygen-metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung, which suffocates and dies usually within six minutes. The dead organism is subsequently cleared out of the body by the immune and lymphatic system. Each of the other man made antibiotics will kill only five or six types of germs. Increasingly more and more bacteria is becoming resistant to these antibiotics. These bacterium are commonly referred to as Super Bugs, however they are unable to form a resistance to Colloidal Silver which will kill not only the bacteria but also all forms of viruses, a feat no man made antibiotic has managed to date ! A further draw-back of all other antibiotics is that they will destroy a variety of the body's essential enzymes, but Colloidal Silver doesn't, disable or harm in any way the many different human body enzymes, as these enzymes are particularly different to the enzymes of single-celled life. Colloidal Silver actually promotes healing with less resulting scar tissue. No other antibiotic will do that. Colloidal Silver is claimed to work relatively fast - mostly within six minutes or less, upon contact within the body- that these disease causing pathogens have no time to mutate into a resistant strain as such a mutation requires far longer than the time silver needs to kill the pathogen. In fact to date no pathogen or strain thereof, has ever been known to mutate and develop resistance to silver in several thousand years of the use of this remarkable substance. To sum up no one celled organism or plant will ever be able to develop immunity to silver

NO DRUG INTERACTION WITH ANY OTHER MEDICINES OR HERBS

There has never known to have been a silver/drug interaction of any kind. The allophatic prescription pharmaceuticals of today are no more likely to react with silver in the body than did the surprisingly powerful herbs from which they were developed and used for thousands of years, right along with the silver. The chemical nature of silver is such that inside the body it behaves to as to form no compounds that are toxic, and when already in the colloidal and stabilised state, is even further removed from any possibility of the tiniest of problems. Colloidal Silver simply does not react with anything in the body except a germs oxygen metabolising enzyme.

HOW DOES COLLOIDAL SILVER WORK

Body tissues having 5 parts per million (5 ppm) of Colloidal Silver will be free of virus, fungus and bacterium. Silver particles are long lived in the body because they do not enter into a reaction, but act catalytically. A catalyst is a best described as a substance that brings about, or causes a reaction or occurrence without itself participating or being consumed. The Colloidal Silver acts as a catalyst in disabling a particular enzyme, best described as chemical lung , as it transfers oxygen and nutrients through the cell walls of the disease causing organism. The organism suffocates ! The mere proximity of silver will cripple the activity of the particular enzyme common to all viruses, funguses and bacteria.- whilst not affecting the enzymes of tissue type cells.

WHY IS COLLOIDAL SILVER NON ALLERGENIC

There have been no allergenic reactions to silver reported in recorded history of the medicinal use of Colloidal Silver, because Colloidal Silver only affects the rate and occurrence of a pathogens oxygen - metabolism activity as described in the foregoing section. However Colloidal Silver does not react chemically within the body. Over use of Colloidal Silver has only one effect, that is so called Argyria which is the development of gray blue tinge of the fingernails and the skin. What happens here is simply that the body starts to store the excess silver in the tissue and collagen, which make up the major part the finger nails. This condition however has no known detrimental effect and will disappear once the Colloidal Silver intake is reduced or discontinued for a while.

HOW HEALING IS ACCELERATED

Mitosis - the usual cell division in body tissue- is when two new, identical cells are formed. When Colloidal Silver is present in the body tissue, some of the divisions will be different. One duplicate cell and one dedifferentiated cell are formed. The dedifferentiated cell is like a baby cell that can change into any type of cell in the body. It will naturally migrate to a part of the body where there is tissue damage, where the cell changes to a local tissue type cell, adding to the normal cell repair in the injured area and greatly lessening scar tissue formation. This accelerated healing benefit of Colloidal Silver was discovered by Robert O. Becker, MD and was reported in his book, The Body Electric. He and his research colleagues observed a variety of cells which are primitive in appearance, looking just like the active cells in bone marrow of children. These cells grew fast, reproducing a diverse and surprising assortment of primitive cell forms including fully dedifferentiated cells and rounded fibroblasts. Positive Silver Becker states, produces large numbers of dedifferentiated cells, overcoming the main problem of mammalian regeneration. Positive Silver accelerates the healing process by over 50 percent. It is obvious that in the aggregate they profoundly stimulate soft tissue healing in a way unlike any known natural process He further stated in his book: positive Silver kills all types of bacteria exiting because no other single antibiotic worked uniformly against all types of bacteria. Positive Silver he says, : offers several advantages over previous antibiotic substances. There are no ions beside silver to burden the tissues. It works against all kinds of bacteria simultaneously and even kills antibiotic resistant strains and fungus infections.

HOW SILVER WORKS AGAINST FUNGUS & VIRUSES

A fungus is a series of single cells having tiny tubes of material on the cell wall stretched between the cells. Whether more linear in its spread and expand mode or alternatively more like a fabric in its reproductive mode, a fungus still will exhibit that same characteristic of a one celled bacterium, namely that particular type of chemical lung which is immediately, completely and permanently disabled by the presence of Colloidal Silver. Any fungus is killed within six minutes of contact with silver in the body. The Colloidal Silver Simply suffocates it! HOW SILVER WORKS AGAINST VIRUSES A single virus will invade a living cell of body tissue, then this insidious pathogen will take over the nucleus of the cell and alter its re-productive mechanism to replicate the virus, instead of the enzyme, hormone or other chemical the cell would normally have produced for the body within that cell. Later, the newly produced virus will be released from that cell into the bloodstream. However another interesting process happens. As the virus affects the cell for its own purpose, part of the response of that living cell is that it reverts back to a more primitive cell structure and chemistry. The oxygen metabolizing enzyme in the cell wall reverts to a more primitive form also. This more primitive form of enzyme is vulnerable to the effect of Colloidal Silver. The catalytic effect of the Colloidal Silver simply by being near the enzyme of this cell results in that enzyme becoming permanently disabled. It cannot function to bring oxygen into the cell and that virus host cell now dies. This process will take no more than six minutes and the body will dispose of it as it would any other of the millions of cells that end their usefulness each day.

DOES SILVER WORK AGAINST AIDS ?

AIDS is caused by a particular type of virus attacking and destroying the body's immune system. Once that virus invaded a cell in the body, the cell will respond in exactly the same way as described before, reverting back to the primitive type structure and enzyme responsible to act as its chemical lung, which is promptly crippled by the mere presence of Colloidal Silver as stated before, the cell suffocates and dies thus denying the virus to replicate. The Colloidal Silver kills the mutated cell, virus and all! Colloidal Silver kills not only present types of viruses, but future forms of any viruses as well. YES, future ! Because no matter how the virus mutates, it cannot influence and change the way living body cells will respond to its invasion.

Colloidal Silver kills all viruses, precluding future mutations as it also kills the virus invaded cell within six minutes, and because of its catalytic nature Colloidal Silver is not affected in the reaction, continuing to kill other single celled pathogens nearby.

DOES SILVER WORK AGAINST CANCER ?

The mutation of healthy cells into cancer cells occur continuously, even in healthy bodies. But such cancer cells are destroyed by the body's natural immune system at a rate about the same as they occur, and when the body condition is stable, there is nothing manifest that a healthy person would experience as cancer. Some types of Cancer are reported to be caused by a virus. Like with any virus, upon invading a body tissue cell it will take over the cells reproductive chemical factory thereby forcing the cell to replicate the virus instead, the cell will revert to the primitive state thus enabling the Colloidal Silver to be effective and kill the cancerous cell. A higher concentration of Colloidal Silver means more immediate contact with any virus or other pathogen.
3. COLLOIDAL SILVER AS A PREVENTATIVE

Colloidal Silver, as a preventative is unsurpassed. Sufficient Colloidal Silver taken daily precludes infection, disease, contagion and serious burn toxicity.

IT SERVES AS A SECOND IMMUNE SYSTEM
Taking Colloidal Silver daily is like having a second immune system. It lessens the load on the body's natural immune system and effectively kills the many bugs present throughout the body. In addition, it lessens the toxicity due to the average amount of germ, virus and fungus activity that occurs naturally in the body. However, tests prove that, due to the high absorption of silver in the small intestine, the friendly bacteria in the large intestine are not affected. The second immune system acts parallel to, and independent of the body's own first in line defense - a major advantage in warding off outbreaks of influenza or any germ plague or pestilence.

IT HELPS IN SEVERE BURN CASES
Sufficient daily Colloidal Silver is to have greater than five parts per million. Recommended is a higher dose titration, as determined by kinesiology, to an indication toward protection from all infection. To charge tissues with large amounts of Colloidal Silver is to be ready for any attack of germ and the inevitable biotoxins resulting from severe burn injury! When obtaining Colloidal Silver preparation the strength of the product must be taken in consideration. Tests have shown that preparations containing less than 30 parts per million of silver are not effective, as the amount of Colloidal Silver needed to bring the body's silver to an effective level would ( with some 5ppm Ag products) require the consumption of two litres of undiluted product a day! Fortunately, advances in the manufacturing technology of Colloidal Silver allow the manufacture of Colloidal Silver with 30 and 50 + mg. of Silver per Litre. IT HELPS IN SEVERE BURN CASES Colloidal Silver, as a preventative is unsurpassed. Sufficient Colloidal Silver taken daily precludes infection, disease, contagion and serious burn toxicity.
4. OTHER ESTABLISHED USES OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

An amazing, yet still only partial list of more than 650 diseases that Colloidal Silver has been used against include

(in alphabetical order): Acne, AIDS, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis and athletes foot, bladder infection, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, bubonic plagues and burns; cancer, candida, canine parvovirus, chilblains, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis and cystitis; dandruff dermatitis, diabetes and dysentery; eczema and encephalitis; fibrositis; gastritis and gonorrhea; hay fever and herpes; impetigo and indigestion; keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis and lyme disease; malaria and meningitis. Also, neurasthenia; parasitic infection, pleurisy, pneumonia, prostate infection. pruritis ani, psoriasis and purulent ophtalmia; rheumatism, rhinitis and ringworm; scarlet fever, septic conditions (eyes ears, mouth and throat), seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, staph and strep infections, stomach flu and syphilis; thrush (yeast infection), thyroid infections, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, trench foot and tuberculosis; ulcerated stomach; virus (all forms) ; warts and whooping cough and yeast infection (females).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SKIN PROBLEMS

While Colloidal Silver is used as a preventative against viruses, bacteria and funguses through daily oral use; Colloidal Silver has been also applied directly to open wounds and sores to eliminate surface infections. Apart from its beneficial effect Colloidal Silver does not sting or burn. Other antiseptics sting when applied to a wound because they are killing the surrounding tissue cells as well as killing the germs. But whilst Colloidal Silver kills the topical germs within six minutes, it does not harm any surrounding tissues.

Acne: In addition to omitting sugars,fats and chocolate from the diet, any person with acne should wash and rinse the face thoroughly four times a day; and after each rinsing, use a small amount of Colloidal Silver and massage it onto the problem areas two to three times with a finger or a tiny piece of cotton or tissue. This wash- rinse-massage activity may be continued throughout an acne breakout, or better, as a continuous prevention through the teen years. This continuous habit precludes breakouts, leaving the skin continuously clear. Most people find it helpful to carry a 50ml or 200ml bottle of Colloidal Silver with them for availability throughout the day.
Cuts and abrasions: Apply Colloidal Silver directly to the open wound and onto any dressing used. Colloidal Silver may be used as the only medication on the dressing, or it may be used with another medication.
Eczema and skin rash: Dab Colloidal Silver directly onto affected area, rubbing slightly. Repeat often to keep the area moist. Bandage lightly, if desired, keeping the bandage moist with Colloidal Silver. Change bandage daily. Warts: Cover the wart with a small adhesive bandage saturated with a few drops of Colloidal Silver. Keep the bandage moist. The wart should disappear within a few days. Large warts may take a few days longer to disappear.

RECOMMENDATION FOR INTESTINAL PROBLEMS

Optimum digestion: Put all, or a fraction of the recommended daily amount of Colloidal Silver, as determined by titration, into the beverage of choice accompanying any meal. As the food is digested, the presence of Colloidal Silver will keep the food from putrefying in the digestive tract, killing any germs ingested with the food, and leaving the food more useable. Also there will be no flatulence. Parasitic infections: To take an amount of Colloidal Silver, again as determined by titration to preclude parasitic diseases caused by tiny, worm like animals that burrow through a particular organ, or in some cases throughout the entire body. In every case, these parasites reproduce by laying eggs and these eggs have the same characteristics of the oxygen-metabolising enzyme as the single celled bacterium. These eggs cannot hatch when there is sufficient Colloidal Silver in the surrounding body tissue. They are killed within a short time and subsequently eliminated by the immune system. Diarrhea diseases: A number of diseases such as cholera, canine parvovirus or other diseases, where the pathogen resides mainly in the large intestine, can be fatal. The fatality is mostly due to the dehydration of the body resulting from severe and prolonged diarrhea and vomiting. The pathogen causing the problem is active in the large intestine, the one place where Colloidal Silver when used correctly will not penetrate. There are two different methods to overcome this barrier. The first is to take a 200 ml glass dosed with Colloidal Silver together with three or four big glasses of water on an empty stomach. This way the Colloidal Silver will get into the large intestine and should within a short time take care of the problem. The other method is by way of colonic irrigation the dose rate using a 50mg. Colloidal Silver preparation is 15 ml per 200ml. of sterile water. This method in fact brings the fastest relief from the disease, Medical literature reports that Cholera has been cured with Colloidal Silver. Healing crisis: This is a condition wherein the Colloidal Silver is killing the pathogens very rapidly. The body's five eliminatory systems, the kidney, liver, skin, bowel and lungs become temporarily overloaded. This especially is true in the case of overcoming AIDS with Colloidal Silver. One may feel as though he or she has the flu. It is recommended to continue the silver regimen, yet drink up to 4 liters of water a day, take five or six grams of vitamin C and a high enema. Repeat for two or three days. Please note if the healing crisis persists see your local practitioner for additional advise.

RECOMMENDATION FOR PURIFYING FOOD & WATER

Water purification: Colloidal Silver is an excellent water purifier. Water stored with one or two tablespoons of Colloidal Silver per 5 litres will be safe and sweet tasting for a very long time. Water containing germ contaminants (not toxic chemicals) can be made drinkable by adding two to three tablespoons of Colloidal Silver per every 5 litres of water. The Silver whilst purifying the water is also beneficial to the body, unlike the commercial tablets containing toxic chlorine bleach! To guard against such water-borne diseases such as dysentery, the following airlines now use either silver water filters or a well known Hydrogen Peroxide/Colloidal Silver combination. British Airways, Swiss Air, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France, Canadian Pacific Airlines, Alitalia, KLM, Japan Airlines and Pan Am. The Swiss and Australian Government has approved either or both the silver water filters or the hydrogen Peroxide/Colloidal Silver preparation which are now used in homes offices and town water supplies. After testing 23 methods of purifying water, NASA selected a silver system for its space shuttle. Home-canned foods: One-half teaspoon of Colloidal Silver per 1 liter in home-canned foods precludes the growth of all bacteria, virus and fungus. As the food is consumed, the presence of silver will aid in the digestion process by not allowing fermentation of starches contained in the food, and will prevent the putrefaction of protein or rancification of fats in the digestive tract. Neither will there be a formation of gas in the bowel, nor food decay from toxins to diminish a sense of well being. Most commercial food processing operations to date have elected to use preservatives which, unlike Colloidal Silver, are toxic and poisonous to people. were these commercial food processors to use Colloidal Silver instead, it would yield the triple benefit mentioned above.
Questionable refrigeration: In addition to keeping prepared foods cool and well sealed, add about one table spoon of Colloidal Silver per 1 liter (volume) to picnic foods containing mayonnaise, dairy products, or anything that has a potential for Salmonella growth and poisoning. Stir in very well. Leftovers and Condiments: Mix about one quarter tablespoon of Colloidal Silver into each container of mustard, ketchup or pickle relish. Mix one half teaspoon into items that spoil more easily, i.e. mayonnaise, milk etc. They will store longer, remain fresher and benefit digestion.
5. VETERINARY USES OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

The following conditions in animals, birds and fish have been successfully treated with Colloidal Silver:
* Bacteria and parasites in house pets, farm animals and birds.
* Parvovirus in dogs.
* Revival of belly-up goldfish.
* Scours and undulant fever in cattle.

FIGHT AIR POLLUTION

Silver can fight deadly poisons also. Japanese firms have announced the following startling technologies that use silver to purify air: One company converts 50 parts per million of carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide by passing the gas through a stack of screens coated with silver compounds. Another uses silver compounds to remove vinyl cyanide, methyl cyanide and hydrocyanic acid from its discharges. Finally a gas chemical company removes all the 200 parts per million of nitric oxide by passing the gas through its silver compounds.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

Colloidal Silver will react chemically with many of the 92 natural elements and compounds. While many of these compounds are toxic, pure silver is non-toxic. It acts only catalytically with the enzyme, or chemical lung of single celled organisms. Pure Silver won't dissolve in water, however if pure silver is by some process divided into single atoms of micro-clusters of fewer than 15 atoms each, given a positive electrical charge and attached to a molecule of simple protein, it will float in and throughout the pure water indefinitely, creating a so called colloidal suspension. The force of electric charge is stronger than the force of gravity, thus the particle remains suspended. Much has been written and claimed by people displaying a fair amount of ignorance of the workings of a colloidal substance mainly with regard to the color of colloidal silver. True colloidal silver is a colorless liquid because the micro-clusters of the silver are simply too small for light to reflect back to the human eye ( the particular wave length of the reflected light determines the color we perceive) Many manufacturers not being able to make a true colloidal silver preparation resort to using food or other coloring agents to give the liquid a yellow appearance because they somewhere have read that colloidal silver should have a color to its liquid.

Color will be noticed if one of the following conditions are present:
* The Silver used is of a silver sulfide type and not very healthy (yellow, mainly used in the ceramic industry)
* The Silver used is Silver Oxide (brownish, black in color)
* The particles are too big in size
* Food or other coloring dyes were used
* If the silver loses its colloidal state and precipitate out of solution (mainly black) in this case the product will have lost its efficacy and should be disposed of as contrary to some advise to shake the bottle will not revert the silver particles to a colloidal state.

People are best advised to stay clear of these products as they are in many cases of dubious quality and most certainly have little or no beneficial effect. If you have any doubt regarding the actual colloidal silver content, ask the vendor for a Batch Sample Silver Analyses. Reputable manufacturers will have Health Department approval for their manufacturing facilities and have their Colloidal Silver batches analyzed and the result of same available for their customers.
CARE AND STORAGE OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

Keep Colloidal Silver in the food storage, store it in glass containers only and away from electrical appliances. Although glass breaks easier, glass is the only material that will keep Colloidal Silver for any length of time. DO NOT accept Colloidal Silver packaged in plastic as its shelf life is minimal and the silver particles most likely will plate out on the surface and hence are no longer in suspension. There is an inherent electric charge in the hydrocarbon molecule that will draw the charged silver particle out of solution, bonding it to the side wall of the plastic container! You may not see it but it's there all right. The preparation is then unusable. Do not store Colloidal Silver in a refrigerator or freezer, as the long term electric charge of the appliance can have the same effect on colloidal silver as does storing it in a plastic container.

WHEN IT MAY BE THE ONLY THING AVAILABLE

Some people believe there may be a time in the foreseeable future when food storage may be the only means of antibiotic/disinfectant for any of us. Life would be very different then, with many items unavailable, and a storage of Colloidal Silver could be life saving. A very different condition in the future could be rampant diseases, plagues from contamination's of the water and air through man made Bio-toxins of germ warfare (as seen in the Strecker Memorandum video) Whatever the source, either invasion or local error any military activity can result in a major outbreak of anthrax or lesser causes resulting in Salmonella poisoning. Another extreme threat for our immediate future is the emergence of so called Super Bugs. Because of the current over-use of pharmaceutical antibiotics today, many virus and bacteria organisms will be immune to the conventional medicines! Colloidal Silver is not only a way of prevention now, but may possible be our best choice to store for future use.
8. MEDICAL STUDIES AND OTHER TESTING

Colloidal Silver and illness: The author of body Electric Dr. R. Becker, noted in his studies a correlation between low silver levels and illness: Those who had low silver levels frequently were sick more often with colds, flu, fever and other illnesses. He said he believes a silver deficiency is the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system and that silver is critical for the destruction of bacteria and viruses. Becker's experiments conclude that silver works on a wide range of bacteria without any side effects and without any damage to the cells of the body. Colloidal Silver and healing: Becker also states that the silver ion was doing something more than killing disease causing organisms. It was, he observed, facilitating major growth stimulation of injured tissues. When human fibroblast cells, which are common throughout the body, were exposed to silver, they differentiated. That is, they changed into an embryonic general cell, able to multiply at a great rate and then change into the specialized cells of the organ or tissue that had been injured. Even in patients over the age of 50 years, tissues healed as easily as a child's tissues. Colloidal State and Cancer: Again Becker concluded that in the presence of silver ion, cancer cells change back to normal cells regardless of their location in the body. He concluded that the presence of silver ion regenerates tissues and eliminates cancerous cells as well as eliminating other abnormal cells. Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom of Sweden's Karolinska Institute has used silver in his cancer cure methods for many years. he records that he has successfully cured patients who had been diagnosed by other doctors as terminally ill. Swimming pool water purification: Silver is widely used to purify swimming pool water, and it does not sting as does chlorine. A dramatic demonstration in Nebraska recently placed 250 liters of raw sewage into a pool containing no disinfectant. A standard measure of fecal contamination is the count of Escheri coli ( E. coli) and organism found in the human intestinal tract. The count soared to 7000 colony forming E coli cells per milliliter of water. Subsequently the water was flushed through a silver electrode array, which totally eliminated the E.coli within three hours. Follow-up tests also shown the water to be completely free of other one-celled organisms. Hydroponics testing: Tests in a hydroponics greenhouse showed that Colloidal Silver is absorbed and used by the living plant as are any other minerals. Hydroponics is an ideal gardening method having only one problem: Viruses, funguses and bacteria tend to thrive in the plant nutrient fluid. Colloidal Silver is proven to kill every one of the pathogens, and without any consequence to the nutrient medium or to the delicate plants. In addition, the plants ingested the silver through their roots, thus becoming a source of the silver minerals for human consumption. Overdose testing: In laboratory tests since 1985 researchers knew that overdose testing needed to be performed. One lab technician involved in the project from the beginning, volunteered himself as a guinea pig for the first project. He consumed 1 liter of water dosed with a high concentration of Colloidal Silver for a period of several weeks. The chemistry of his body fluids was monitored, as was his general well being (colds flu headaches etc. ). He was especially observed for any change in skin color to see if the technicians skin would develop a gray pallor of Argyria. He had no change of color in his skin, felt more vigorous and alert and experienced no aches or colds etc. Others in the laboratory repeated the test themselves finding the same results. UCLA study: It is claimed that some years ago an independent research laboratory sent to the University of California in Los Angeles a sample of Colloidal Silver to be tested against AIDS and anthrax. UCLA undertook the tests and proved conclusively that Colloidal Silver was highly effective in remedial applications against both disease pathogens. The independent researcher has obtained the same results in his own laboratory, and sought confirmation from UCLA. When the UCLA laboratory director called to confirm those findings, the director of the independent laboratory asked to have as the test results on a letter bearing the UCLA letterhead. However he was advised that a payment of U$ 10,000 was required for this letter. The UCLA lab report confirming the effectiveness remains unofficial.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN COLLOIDAL SILVER

METHOD 1

Do-It-Yourself Colloidal Silver Generator.

One of my favorite megamedicines is colloidal silver. I've used it to cure everything

from herpes to spider bite. But I hated spending $20 for two ounces at the health

food store. So I was delighted to buy a small silver colloidal generator that ran off

three 9 volt batteries for about $80. I used it for about two years. Then I built my

own. So can you.

1. Go to the local bargain store and buy three 9 volt batteries (I got them for fifty

cents apiece at Pic n Save).

2. Wire them together in the manner above (positive to negative to positive to

negative to positive with two wires free). Alligator clips work good.

3. Get some pure silver. (Surely, you know some jewelry artist. Or buy a bit of silver

wire at a jewelry store. You only need about four inches of silver wire.)

4. Attach two pieces of silver to the two free wires coming from the batteries.

5. Dip the silver into a glass of water. (Warm, distilled water works best.) Watch

science in action as the electrical current destabilizes the water. Water molecules are

torn apart. Free-ranging oxygen atoms bond into unstable triads (ozone!) and pull

helpless microns of silver into ionized suspension. Tiny bubbles of pure hydrogen

gas fizz up from one wire, as ionized silver streams off the other wire in ghostlike

clouds. Beautiful, actually. Wait about five minutes or less. If you start getting

brown stuff, that's silver dioxide and you've left it too long. (Brush the silver dioxide

off the silver bits after you use them.)

6. Drink up. If it has a strong, yukky metallic taste, almost unbearable, you've got

the right stuff. Make hundreds of dollars worth of silver collidal for mere pennies.

METHOD 2

REALLY INEXPENSIVE
COLLOIDAL SILVER MAKER INSTRUCTIONS

PARTS & MATERIALS	INSTRUCTIONS
(1 pkg) Radio Shack part #270-325 9v Battery Snap Connectors (1 pkg) Radio Shack part #270-380 Mini Alligator clips (3) 9v batteries (2) 6" .999 pure (or better) fine silver wires silver solder & soldering iron
Solder 3 snap connectors together in a series so that black wire goes to red wire Solder the red wire from one end of the series to an alligator clamp Solder the black wire from the other end of the series to an alligator clamp Cover the solder joints with shrink tubing or electrical tape. Curl one end of each of the fine silver wires so the alligator clamps will get a good surface to grip Snap a 9v battery into each of the snap connectors You're done!
Embellishments .9999 silver is better than .999 silver - costs more, too .999 is minimum purity you should use Clean your silver wires after each use. Just "polish" with a clean cloth.
To use: Clamp a silver wire to each of the alligator clamps Put the wires into a non-metal container of HOT water - wires should be 75% covered with 8 - 16 oz of water (less water = stronger colloid). DO NOT use metal implements! MAKE SURE the wires don't touch! MAKE SURE the alligator clamps aren't in the water! Watch your colloidal silver water creation process carefully! Finished product should be cloudy to pale yellow. Process should take just a few minutes (10 to 20 average). Either use your silver water right away or store it in a cool, DARK place.
Embellishments, part 2 Yield: 3 minutes per 8 oz non-distilled water at room temp: ~3 ppm Pure well or spring water is preferred. Distilled water will take a lot longer. If your water source is not good (city tap water, for instance) and your colloid gets darker than pale yellow, there are too many impurities in your water - throw it out! (You shouldn't be drinking this water anyway!) Use hot water. If you can make your colloid while the water has just boiled, it's even better! The hotter the water, the stronger the colloid. For every 10 degrees that the water rises above room temperature (72 degrees), the ppm figure is approximately doubled. For instance, if 5 ppm resulted after 7 minutes of generating with 16 oz of water at 72 degrees, then 82 degrees would yeil 10 ppm. Note: Results will vary! Make sure your container is non-metal! If you choose to ingest your colloid, hold it under the tongue for a while before swallowing for maximum absorption. Note: Ingest colloidal silver with caution, and at your own risk!
NOTE: We recommend that you do research on using colloidal silver water before using it! NOT RESPONSIBLE for anyone else's use of colloidal silver water! We recommend that if you choose to ingest colloidal silver water, you also use lots of PROBIOTICS! NOT RESPONSIBLE !!!!! for anyone else's use of colloidal silver water!

Aspartame

2011-08-21T16:38:00.001-07:00

FDA Lists 92 Symptoms from Nutrasweet (Aspartame) (including Death!)

Please Note: Nutrasweet is in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi

This article originally appeared on www.dorway.com

Note: This information required a Freedom Of Information Act request to pry it

from the reluctant hands of the FDA.

Nutrasweet (brand name for Aspartame) was not approved until 1981, in dry

foods. For over eight years the FDA refused to approve it because of the seizures

and brain tumors this drug produced in lab animals. The FDA continued to refuse

to approve it until President Reagan took office (a friend of Searle) and fired the

FDA Commissioner who wouldn't approve it. Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes was appointed

as commissioner. Even then there was so much opposition to approval that a

Board of Inquiry was set up. The Board said: "Do not approve aspartame". Dr.

Hayes OVERRULED his own Board of Inquiry.

Shortly after Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr., approved the use of aspartame

in carbonated beverages, he left for a position with G.D. Searle's Public Relations

firm.

Long-Term Damage. It appears to cause slow, silent damage in those unfortunate

enough to not have immediate reactions and a reason to avoid it. It may take one

year, five years, 10 years, or 40 years, but it seems to cause some reversible and

some irreversible changes in health over long-term use.

METHANOL (AKA WOOD ALCOHOL/POISON) (10% OF ASPARTAME)

Methanol/wood alcohol is a deadly poison. People may recall that methanol was

the poison that has caused some "skid row" alcoholics to end up blind or dead.

Methanol is gradually released in the small intestine when the methyl group of

aspartame encounter the enzyme chymotrypsin.

The absorption of methanol into the body is sped up considerably when free

methanol is ingested. Free methanol is created from aspartame when it is heated

to above 86 Fahrenheit (30 Centigrade). This would occur when

aspartame-containing product is improperly stored or when it is heated (e.g., as

part of a "food" product such as Jello).

Methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in the body.

Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin. An EPA assessment of methanol states

that methanol "is considered a cumulative poison due to the low rate of excretion

once it is absorbed. In the body, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic

acid; both of these metabolites are toxic." The recommend a limit of consumption

of 7.8 mg/day. A one-liter (approx. 1 quart) aspartame-sweetened beverage

contains about 56 mg of methanol. Heavy users of aspartame-containing products

consume as much as 250 mg of methanol daily or 32 times the EPA limit.

The most well known problems from methanol poisoning are vision problems.

Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen, causes retinal damage, interferes with

DNA replication, and causes birth defects. Due to the lack of a couple of key

enzymes, humans are many times more sensitive to the toxic effects of methanol

than animals. Therefore, tests of aspartame or methanol on animals do not

accurately reflect the danger for humans. As pointed out by Dr Woodrow C.

Monte, Director of the Food Science and Nutrition Laboratory at Arizona State

University, "There are no human or mammalian studies to evaluate the possible

mutagenic, teratogenic, or carcinogenic effects of chronic administration of methyl

alcohol."

It has been pointed out that fruit juices and alcoholic beverages contain small

amounts of methanol. It is important to remember, that the methanol in natural

products never appears alone. In every case, ethanol is present, usually in much

higher amounts. Ethanol is an antidote for methanol toxicity in humans.

The troops of Desert Storm were "treated" to large amounts of

aspartame-sweetened beverages which had been heated to over 86 degrees F.

in the Saudi Arabian sun. Many of them returned home with numerous disorders

similar to what has been seen in persons who have been chemically poisoned by

formaldehyde. The free methanol in the beverages may have been a contributing

factor in these illnesses. Other breakdown products ofaspartame such as DKP,

may also have been a factor.

In a 1993 act that can only be described as "unconscionable", the FDA approved

aspartame as an ingredient in numerous food items that would always be heated

to above 86°degrees F (30°Degrees C).

Much worse, on 27 June 1996, without public notice, the FDA removed all

restrictions from aspartame allowing it to be used in everything, including all

heated and baked goods.

The truth about aspartame's toxicity is far different than what the NutraSweet

Company would have you readers believe. In February of 1994, the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services released the listing of adverse

reactions reported to the FDA (DHHS 1994). Aspartame accounted for more than

75% of all adverse reactions reported to the FDA's Adverse Reaction Monitoring

System (ARMS). By the FDA's own admission fewer then ONE PERCENT of

those who have problems with something they consume ever report it to the FDA.

This balloons the almost 10,000 complaints they once had to around a million.

However, the FDA has a record keeping problem (they never did respond to the

certified letter from the WEBMASTER of this site a major victim!) and they tend to

discourage or even misdirect complaints, at least on aspartame. The fact

remains, though, that MOST victims don't have a clue that aspartame may be the

cause of their many problems! Many reactions to aspartame were very serious

including seizures and death.

Abdominal Pain

How it happens:

Methanol, from aspartame, is released in the small intestine when the methyl

group of aspartame encounters the enzyme chymotrypsin (Stegink 1984, page

143). Free methanol begins to form in liquid aspartame-containing products at

temperatures above 86 degrees F. also within the human body.

The methanol is then converted to formaldehyde. The formaldehyde converts to

formic acid - ant sting poison. Toxic formic acid is used as an activator to strip

epoxy and urethane coatings. Imagine what it does to your tissues! (Note from

Stephanie Relfe - Even the Australian Cancer Council says that there are NO safe

levels of formaldehyde).

Phenylalanine and aspartic acid, 90% of aspartame, are amino acids normally

used in synthesis of protoplasm when supplied by the foods we eat. But when

unaccompanied by other amino acids we use [there are 20], they are neurotoxic.

That is why a warning for Phenylketonurics is found on EQUAL and other

aspartame products. Phenylketenurics are 2% of the population with extreme

sensitivity to this chemical unless it's present in food. It gets you too, causing brain

disorders and birth defects! Finally, the phenyalanine breaks down into DKP, a

brain tumor agent.

In other words: Aspartame converts to dangerous by-products that have no natural

countermeasures. A dieter's empty stomach accelerates these conversions and

amplifies the damage. Components of aspartame go straight to the brain,

damage that causes headaches, mental confusion, seizures and faulty balance.

Lab rats and other test animals died of brain tumors.

Despite the claims of Monsanto and bedfellows:

1. Methanol from alcohol and juices does not get converted to formaldehyde to any

significant extent. There is very strong evidence to confirm this fact for alcoholic

beverages and fairly strong evidence for juices.

2. Formaldehyde obtained from methanol is very toxic in *very small* doses as

seen by recent research.

3. Aspartame causes chronic toxicity reactions/damage due to the methanol to

formaldehyde and other break down products despite what is claimed otherwise

by the very short, industry-funded experiments using a test substance that is

chemically different and absorbed differently than what is available to the general

public. "Strangely enough", almost all independent studies show that aspartame

can cause health problems.

4. A common ploy from Monsanto is to claim that aspartame is "safe" yet a few

select people may have "allergic" reactions to it. This is typical Monsanto

nonsense, of course. Their own research shows that it does not cause "allergic"

reactions. It is there way of trying to minimize and hide the huge numbers of

toxicity reactions and damage that people are experiencing from the long-term

use of aspartame.

Summary

Given the following points, it is definitely premature for researchers to discount the

role of methanol in aspartame side effects:

1. The amount of methanol ingested from aspartame is unprecedented in human

history. Methanol from fruit juice ingestion does not even approach the quantity of

methanol ingested from aspartame, especially in persons who ingest one to three

liters (or more) of diet beverages every day. Unlike methanol from aspartame,

methanol from natural products is probably not absorbed or converted to its toxic

metabolites in significant amounts as discussed earlier.

2. Lack of laboratory-detectable changes in plasma formic acid and formaldehyde

levels do not preclude damage being caused by these toxic metabolites.

Laboratory-detectable changes in formate levels are often not found in short

exposures to methanol.

3. Aspartame-containing products often provide little or no nutrients which may

protect against chronic methanol poisoning and are often consumed in between

meals. Persons who ingest aspartame-containing products are often dieting and

more likely to have nutritional deficiencies than persons who take the time to make

fresh juices.

4. Persons with certain health conditions or on certain drugs may be much more

susceptible to chronic methanol poisoning.

5. Chronic diseases and side effects from slow poisons often build silently over a

long period of time. Many chronic diseases which seem to appear suddenly have

actually been building in the body over many years.

6. An increasing body of research is showing that many people are highly

sensitive to low doses of formaldehyde in the environment. Environmental

exposure to formaldehyde and ingestion of methanol (which converts to

formaldehyde) from aspartame likely has a cumulative deleterious effect.

7. Formic acid has been shown to slowly accumulate in various parts of the body.

Formic acid has been shown to inhibit oxygen metabolism.

8. The are a very large and growing number of persons are experiencing chronic

health problems similar to the side effects of chronic methanol poisoning when

ingesting aspartame-containing products for a significant length of time. This

includes many cases of eye damage similar to the type of eye damage seen in

methanol poisoning cases.

Note: It often takes at least sixty days without any aspartame NutraSweet to see a

significant improvement. (Note from Stephanie Relfe: Drink plenty of good water.

Preferably water filtered by reverse osmosis. If not that, spring water. Not tap,

distilled or mineral water).

Check all labels very carefully (including vitamins and pharmaceuticals). Look for

the word "aspartame" on the label and avoid it. (Also, it is a good idea to avoid

"acesulfame-k" or "sunette.") Finally, avoid getting nutrition information from junk

food industry PR organizations such as IFIC or organizations that accept large

sums of money from the junk and chemical food industry such as the American

Dietetic Association.

If you are a user of any products with aspartame, and you have physical, visual,

mental problems take the 60-day no aspartame test. If, after two months with no

aspartame your symptoms are either gone, or are much less severe, please get

involved to get this neurotoxin off the market. Write a letter to the FDA, with a copy

to Betty Martini (for proof of how the FDA doesn't keep proper records). Write your

congressmen. Return products containing aspartame to the point of purchase... for

a FULL refund. Make a big stink if they WON'T give you a full refund! Tell all your

friends and family... and if they stop using aspartame and also "wake up well"...

get them involved in the same way.

Aspartame is an "approved sweetener" because of a few greedy and dishonest

people who place profits above human life and well-being. With the FDA and our

Congress culpable, only an INFORMED and ACTIVE public will affects its

reclassification from "food additive" to TOXIC DRUG, and removed from the

human food chain.

From Stephane Relfe: Note that Michael J. Fox, who was spokesperson for

Pepsi, has an old man's disease (Parkinson's Disease) at only 30 years old!

Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills

by Russell Blaylock

Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and drinks that

literally stimulate nerve cells to death, causing brain

damage. They can be found in such ingredients as

monosodium glutamate (MSG), aspartame (nutrasweet) and

hydrolyzed vegetable protein. The dangers of these

substances is so overwhelming that they can no longer be

ignored.

Do a search on the web on `aspartame' and you will see that

it can cause Parkinson's disease (why did Michael Fox,

MS and cravings for carbohydate (thereby causing an

INCREASE in weight).

Canola oil

2011-08-19T18:42:00.001-07:00

Because of the public scare over animal fats, sales of vegetable oils of all types increased. It was the established wisdom that those oils high in polyunsaturated fatty acids were especially beneficial (animal fats are high in saturated fatty acids). The obsession with polyunsaturated versus saturated fats led researchers and nutritionists to overlook some of the other features of vegetable oils that we now know are crucial to health, including:

Susceptibility to rancidity;
Ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids and its relevance in inflammatory diseases and immune system function;
Possible presence of irritating or toxic compounds in particular plant oils.

Unlike the case of trans-fatty acids, for which there is massive amount of research data, there is much less documented scientific research on canola oil consumption in humans, specifically. Some sources (unverified) claim that the Canadian government and industry paid the U.S. FDA $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the GRAS ("Generally Recognized As Safe") list, which allowed the canola industry to avoid the lengthy and expensive approval process, including medical research on humans. However, experimental rats that were fed canola oil "developed fatty degeneration of the heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. On withdrawing the canola oil from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs." [3a] In the absence of direct research studies of canola oil and human health, many concerned nutritionists and biochemists have attempted to analyze the canola oil situation on the basis of current knowledge of the biochemistry of fats and oils. While hard-nosed canola industry spokespersons may claim such commentary to be speculative, in the absence of proof of safety, anyone concerned about their family's health should pay close attention to the various arguments and warnings. [3a - 3i; for canola industry position, see 3j, 3k] The Canola Council of Canada has published a report [3k] that focuses heavily on the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content of canola oil and the presumed benefits of polyunsaturated oils on various blood parameters (platelet phospholipids, platelet aggregation, eicosanoid production, clotting time). In spite of the many scientific references listed at the end of the report, the author studiously avoids discussion of the toxic effects mentioned by many nutritionists and biochemists, and, instead, attempts to link many of the benefits of Mediterranean-type diets high in olive oil to diets high in canola oil, when in fact, no such evidence is presented, and canola oil has never been part of a traditional Mediterranean diet. Concerns about the risks of using canola (rapeseed) oil focus on several aspects:

The presence of long-chain fatty acids, including erucic acid, which are thought by some to cause CNS degeneration, heart disease, and cancer;
The high temperatures needed in the refining process to make canola oil palatable, which lead to formation of trans-fatty acids;
Miscellaneous undesirable chemical constituents (thioglycosides and thiocyanates) whose effects are unclear, as their concentration in the refined product is probably very low.

Although Chinese and Indian peoples have long used rapeseed oil in cooking, it was not refined and processed to the extent of modern commercial methods, and it was never considered to be a high quality oil for human consumption. Ayurvedic physicians have for thousands of years classified olive, almond, and sesame as the best oils for human health, and have considered safflower, soybean and rapeseed oils to be undesirable for human consumption except perhaps when no other oil sources were available. Recent epidemiological studies of high lung cancer rates in Chinese women suggest that wok cooking with rapeseed oil is responsible, rather than tobacco smoking, which was only a weak factor. Chinese rapeseed oil tended to produce the highest emissions of the potentially carcinogenic or mutagenic compounds 1,3-butadiene, benzene, acrolein, and formaldehyde, when compared with soybean oil and peanut oil. [3n] Canola oil contains a long-chain fatty acid called erucic acid, which is especially irritating to mucous membranes; canola oil consumption has been correlated with development of fibrotic lesions of the heart, CNS degenerative disorders, lung cancer, and prostate cancer, anemia, and constipation. [3a, 3b] Canola oil derives from the plants Brassica campestris and B. napus, which have been selectively bred to substantially reduce the erucic acid content. However, some health professionals feel that there is still too much present in current canola oil products for safe use. Some critics of canola oil focus on the fact that rapeseed oil was originally used as an industrial lubricant and known to be unfit for human consumption, although many vegetable oils have been used in industrial applications as well as in foods. The long-chain fatty acids found in canola have been found to destroy the sphingomyelin surrounding nerve cells in the brain, in some cases leading to a degenerative brain condition remarkably similar to mad-cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy); in advanced cases the brain tissue develops a Swiss-cheese-like appearance, full of holes. Illnesses and conditions that have been associated with canola oil consumption include loss of vision (retinal capillaries are very sensitive and easily damaged), and a wide range of neurological disorders. [3a] The high temperatures used in canola refining will damage many of the essential fatty acids, which are much more susceptible to damage by heat than saturated fats. (Heat may convert many of the unsaturated double bonds to the "trans" configuration.) While high-quality essential fatty acids are required for human health, in their damaged or rancid forms they become harmful. Additional problems with canola oil include the presence of minute, but potentially dangerous, amounts of thioglycosides, which have thyrotoxic effects. [3m] To reduce the concentration of these compounds requires processing with alkalinizing agents plus high temperatures; unfortunately, the high temperatures used in processing have other undesirable effects, the most serious of which is the conversion of unsaturated fats to the trans form.

Rapeseed has been selectively bred and genetically engineered [3a] in an attempt to reduce the toxic components and processing methods were developed to further reduce the concentration of undesirable compounds. Prior to its entry into the "health" food market, it was known as rapeseed oil, but savvy marketing professionals knew that the health food market, heavily dominated by young, college-educated women, would not purchase a repulsive-sounding product called rapeseed oil. The name of the selectively bred variety was changed to canola (as in "Canadian oil"; it has been heavily promoted by Canadian government and agricultural organizations) oil; the name rolls off the tongue with a mellifluous sound.

Recommendations:

The biochemistry of plants and natural food products is often complex; the total effect of a given food on human health is dependent upon many chemical constituents and their interaction with biochemical pathways of the body. To radically alter our diets based on scientific evidence regarding only a few aspects of this biochemistry is like cooking in the dark. Common symptom reactions to unhealthy oils and fats, or to an unhealthy balance of the types of fats in one's diet include joint pain and aggravation of arthritic conditions, a general tendency to have increased tissue irritability and inflammation, and, in the case of unhealthy fats such as hydrogenated oils and excessive amounts of fried foods, abdominal fullness and indigestion. While these conditions also may be due to other factors, quality of fats and oils is important. How one feels immediately to within several days after eating specific types of fat is often a useful indicator of whether one's fat consumption is healthy or unhealthy.

ØAvoid canola oil; there is too much doubt about its safety. Recommended oils and fats, which are essential nutrients, include moderate amounts of meat in the form of clean sources (organically grown, etc.) of beef, lamb, and other red meats, poultry, fish (especially sardines and mackerel), plus olive, almond, or sesame oil; of all the vegetable oils, olive oil is probably the safest and best for health reasons. All of these have been in traditional use in various cultures for thousands of years. Individual differences in metabolism will dictate needs for more or less of these types of oils and fats.

History of Colloidal Silver

2011-08-10T21:02:00.000-07:00

The mineral known as silver has been used for healing purposes and for treating diseases as far back in recorded time as 4000 B.C. Eastern Persian records specifically mention the practice of placing water in silver vessels, and the ancient Babylonian and Greek civilizations were fully aware of silver's ability to disinfect.
Furthermore, the Romans reported the use of silver compounds for medical treatment. It continued to be used as a remedy during the Middle Ages in order to treat open wounds in battle and the Ayurvedic physicians of India continue to use it to this day. Silverware or a silver coin was kept in the drinking water and the milk in order to prevent spoilage before the days of refrigeration. The early settlers used silver, and many people remember their grandparents placing silver dollars in milk in order to prolong its freshness at room temperature. Members of royalty were called bluebloods due to the silver content in their blood and the blueness of their skin. When eating the royalty used almost exclusively silver plates, bowls and utensils. They essentially digested large particles of silver over an extended period of time, which created a permanent discoloration of the skin, due to the excessive silver deposits. This condition is known today as Argyria.
However, there is no danger of this occurring today, as long as you are using properly prepared Colloidal Silver. (Note: The FDA has approved CSI's product because it passed all safety and efficacy manufacturing standards.) CSI has the only approved seal from the ICSC International Colloidal Silver Council (Copy upon request)
As recently as the 1930s, silver nitrate was routinely used by American hospitals in the eyes of newborn babies as a protection against blindness in case the mother had contracted a venereal disease, and is still used today in many countries. The March 1978 issue of Science Digest included an article entitled "Silver, Our Mightiest Germ Fighter", in which it stated that more than half of the world's airlines used silver water filters as the method of choice for protecting passengers from water-born diseases, including British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France. After reviewing 23 different water purification systems, NASA selected a silver-based system for the space shuttle, and Japan uses silver air purifiers. Prior to 1938, (FDA - Food & Drug Act).
Colloidal Silver was administered orally, rectally, vaginally and intravenously, or atomized into the nose, lungs and eyes, as well as topically in the form of throat gargles, eye drops and douches for the treatment of open wounds and burns. For more effective topical use, Colloidal Silver can be mixed with natural vegetable glycerin or aloe vera. Medical research has documented that Colloidal Silver promotes more rapid healing, with less scar tissue in cases involving severe burns.
Successes have been reported even in cases that have previously been unsuccessful by the medical establishment. Contemporary medical tests indicate no known adverse effects from the use of properly prepared Colloidal Silver, and there has never been a recorded case of adverse reactions or interaction with any other medication.
Silver has been employed for over 100 years against infections or infectious diseases. There are currently five different synthetic pharmaceuticals that utilize silver as one of the ingredients. Over 70% of the hospital burn units in the United States use a silver-based cream (Silvadene) as a preventative in order to treat infection in burn patients. This cream is extremely effective, has no known harmful side-effects and is non-irritating.
At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists discovered that the body's most important fluids (both the blood and lymphatic fluids) are colloidal in nature, as suspended ultra-fine particles. For example, blood transports nutrients and oxygen to the bodily cells. This scientific breakthrough in understanding paved the way towards endless possibilities for medical treatment. Silver was already a proven and accepted germ fighter, and Colloidal Silver became the mainstay in the treatment of infectious diseases. There were varying degrees of success which, we now know, were due to silver particles being too large, thereby never attaining the optimum microscopic size necessary for its effectiveness. Another missing factor was that the silver particles must possess an electrical charge, and the results of many scientific studies and examples of its use were published in prestigious medical journals. In 1924, the first electro-colloidal silver was produced, and it proved to be far superior to what had been previously available, and was considered to be very High Tech at the time. Due to more advanced technical methods of production, today's Colloidal Silver solutions are far superior than those produced prior to 1938, and at a mere fraction of the cost.
For centuries, the only known method for producing fine silver for human consumption was to grind it into a fine powder, either manually or chemically. The fine silver powder appeared to dissolve in water, however, it did not remain in suspension, and ultimately settled to the bottom of the container. These particles also had the tendency to clump together, but the use of protein stabilizers correct this problem so that the particles settle more slowly. However, they tend to block the effects of the silver particles. One problem with using chemical acids to grind the silver is the difficulty in removing the chemical from the solution, and trace amounts of those chemicals may be toxic to the consumer.
Colloidal Silver was in common use until 1938, and had proven itself to be useful against 650 different infectious diseases, but was very costly to produce at that time.
Today, advanced technology provides us with electro-colloidal solutions that produce even greater results. Unfortunately, the discovery and subsequent widespread use of Penicillin and other synthetic drug pharmaceuticals caused much of the rapid advancement of colloidal research to be set aside in favor of a new, fact-working, less costly, more toxic and potentially dangerous, more profitable industry controlled allopathic medical approach to treating disease.
The Food and Drug Administration currently classifies Colloidal Silver as a pre-1938 drug. A letter from the FDA dated September 13, 1991 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."

Antibiotics & Resistant Diseases:

Unfortunately, antibiotic-resistant diseases have reached epidemic proportions throughout the world, and the overall effectiveness of synthetic antibiotics is rapidly decreasing. As indicated by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, we are informed that over 70,000 people died in American hospitals in the year 2000 from infectious conditions that resisted conventional synthetic drugs. Common bacteria that lead to the onset of pneumonia, ear infections and many other diseases are evolving into forms that are untreatable by known synthetic drugs, thereby threatening to create a chilling post-antibiotic era that would be nothing short of a major medical disaster, according to Alexander Tomasz of Rockefeller University in New York. He states, "In the post-antibiotic world, the simplest infection could rapidly escalate into fatal illnesses."
When a synthetic antibiotic is employed and fails to destroy even one pathogenic microbe (out of trillions), that microbe can reproduce itself and thereby create super microbes, which are constantly evolving into different and more lethal strains. Some microbes can reproduce in as little as twenty minutes. Due to the excessive use of synthetic antibiotics by the medical establishment, strains of super microbe have been created that become immune to destruction by any synthetic antibiotic. Furthermore, penicillin and related synthetic antibiotics produce harmful side-effects which lead to even greater problems, such as nausea, abdominal pain, Candidiasis, etc.
We are becoming immune to the selective synthetic antibiotics produced by the pharmaceutical companies, and the medical community has acknowledged this publicly for many years. On October 23, 1994, the Los Angeles Times published an article entitled "Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing as Resistant Bacteria Develops". The article stated, "But in the last decade, a broad resistance to antibiotics has begun to emerge. And because bacteria can transfer genes among themselves, experts only expect the resistance to grow. The potential nightmare is an Andromeda strain, a super-microbe immune to all antibiotics that could wreck havoc."
In a December 1996 article in Readers Digest entitled, "Warning: Antibiotics Could Endanger Your Child", it is stated that "Antibiotic resistance appeared soon after the introduction of these synthetic drugs in the 1930s. Since then, more and more bacteria have become resistant to more and more antibiotics." The article continues: "Last January, researchers at the Georgetown University School of Medicines Department of Pediatrics monitored 20 children taking amoxicillin daily to prevent ear infections. (Note: Dr. Fallon) The study indicated that while their risk of infection from a resistant germ was 20% before using the antibiotic, after a five-month regimen, they stood a 100% chance of contracting a superbug, a fivefold increase in risk. Four months after those children were taken off amoxicillin, their risk level returned to its original point."
The human body contains approximately .001% silver, and is normally obtained, along with all the other minerals required by the body, through the foods we consume. Organic gardening is called organic because it refers to living organisms in the soil, and there are billions of these organisms in a handful of soil which break down the minerals into a colloidal form that is then assimilated by the plant. After we consume the plants, these colloidal minerals are assimilated directly into the bloodstream and transported to the various bodily organs in order to be properly utilized as nutrients. The minerals in the soil directly control cellular metabolism in humans, animals and plants. In the book entitled "Secrets of the Soil", authors Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird explain in detail how malnutrition begins with the soil, and how trace minerals are insufficiently available for adequate nourishment because the soil has become so depleted, due to the usage of synthetic chemical poisons and overworked soil conditions. Silver is one such trace mineral that has virtually disappeared from the soil, and deficiencies develop whenever we cannot obtain the quality and quantity of nutrients from the food we eat.
In his book entitled "The Body Electric", Dr. Robert Becker, M.D. states that silver deficiency is responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. While analyzing hair samples and questioning the parties involved, Dr. Becker noted a correlation between low silver levels in the body and disease. Those who maintained low silver levels were frequently sick, with innumerable colds, flu, fevers and other illnesses. Dr. Becker's experiments concluded that silver destroys a wide range of pathogenic bacteria without damaging any of the cells of the body, and without any harmful side-effects.
Dr. Becker also states that silver ion (colloidal state) was accomplishing much more than just killing disease-causing organisms. It was also accelerating major growth stimulation in injured tissues. When exposed to silver, human fibroblast cells (which are able to multiply at an increased rate) then differentiate into the specialized cells of the organ or tissue-system that has been injured or damaged even in patients over fifty years old. Furthermore, Dr. Becker discovered that cancer cells would transform back to normal cells in the presence of the silver ion, regardless of their location in the body. He therefore concluded that Colloidal Silver will regenerate damaged, old or worn out cellular tissue, eliminate cancerous cells, and any other diseased or abnormal condition.
He also observed that those patients with higher than average levels of silver ion present in their bodies, who suffered from severe burns, were able to more quickly regenerate the burn-damaged tissue, without the occurrence of scar tissue or any overload to their immune system. Moreover, Colloidal Silver is especially well suited for use against many types of disease-producing organisms simultaneously, even the strains of pathogens and fungi that are highly resistant to synthetic antibiotics. Fantastic successes have been documented in many cases that were previously considered to be hopeless. Residue silver in the body more than doubles the capability of the immune system to destroy cancer cells and other disease-causing organisms, and the friendly bacteria in the intestines (the intestinal flora) are not adversely affected.

Uses of Colloidal Silver

While studying the 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 destroy any surrounding pathogenic bacteria.
Extensive tests have been conducted with Colloidal Silver on a variety of pathogenic organisms, and the following results indicate that Colloidal Silver is a broad-spec anti-microbial agent. Tests included the following organisms:
E. coli, Food poisoning, ordinary tract infections, travelers diarrhea, infantile diarrhea, respiratory tract infections. Inhibited and destroyed at 2.5 ppm.
Enterobacter cloace Produces illnesses similar to the E. aerogenes. Inhibited and destroyed at 5 ppm.
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Nosocomial infections (those spread through hospitals), lower respiratory tract infections, bacteremia, and urinary tract and wound infections. Inhibited and destroyed at 2.5 ppm.
Klebsiella oxytoca, Produces illnesses similar to those infectious conditions caused by K. pneumoniae. Inhibited and destroyed at 2.5 ppm.
Pseudomonas aerugio\nosa, Keratitis, pneumonia, meningitis, severe burn and wound infections, nosocomial infections, urinary tract infections, etc. Inhibited at 2.5 ppm and destroyed at 5 ppm.
Streptococcus pyogenes, Skin infections, upper respiratory infections (such as strep throat), impetigo, scarlet fever, hospital-acquired infections, etc. Inhibited and destroyed at 1.25 ppm.
Streptococcus faecalis, Urinary tract infections, endocarditis, wound infections, etc. Inhibited at 2.5 ppm and destroyed at 5 ppm.
Streptococcus mutans, A major cause of dental plaque and tooth decay, Inhibited and destroyed at 5 ppm.
Streptococcus gordonii, Tooth decay, and also implicated in infective endocarditis (an infection of the heart valves). Inhibited and destroyed at 5 ppm.
Various medical journals have also documented the uses of Colloidal Silver against the following pathogenic organisms: Anthrax bacilli, B. coli, B. coli communis, B. dysenteria, B. tuberculosis, Gonococcus, Paramecium, Pneumococci, Straphyloclysin, Straphiococcus pyogens albus, Straphiococcus pyogens aureus, Tinea versicolor, Vortic Aspergillus niger, Bacillus typhosus, Bovine Rotavirus, Candida albicans, Legionella pneumophilia, Poliovirus l1 (Sabin Strain), Salmonella, Vegetative B. cereus spores and Spore-Forming Bacteria.
The following is a documented list of silver-resistant bacteria:
Citrobacter freundii Enterobacter cloacae Enterobacteriaceae (some strains) Escherichia coli (some strains) Klebsiella pneumoniae (some strains), P. stutzeri (some strains) Vegetative B. cereus spores (some strains)
Based upon his experience in treating various types of bacterial lung infections, Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega, a board-certified oncologist and the Director of Health Horizons Rejunvenation Clinic in Coral Gables, Florida, believes he has discovered a method of preventing the anthrax bacilli from developing in the human body, even if one has already been exposed. During his last ten years of treating hundreds of clients with a variety of viral, fungal and bacterial pneumonias, he has personally observed the greatest successes with nebulizer treatments using a Colloidal Silver preparation. The nebulizer allows the mineral to reach the lungs and kill any harmful bacteria and, with the recent anthrax threat, he believes that it can accomplish the same results with anthrax spores.
Dr. Marcial-Vega states, "We are continually filtering all types of bacteria through our lungs." For the prevention of anthrax infection, he recommends a daily nebulizer treatment employing 4cc of Colloidal Silver. By following this protocol, he says that your body can most likely destroy the anthrax spores before you are even aware that you are exposed. Colloidal Silver may even be useful in the treatment of cutaneous anthrax when the preparation is applied directly to the affected area.
Dr. Marcial-Vega states that there are no concerns about using this type of treatment because Colloidal Silver has no toxicity and no adverse side-effects. He has used this form of treatment on infants, the elderly, and AIDS patients with pneumonia, and has seen great results. All have responded quickly to the treatment even when no other approach appeared to help, and no one reported any adverse reactions. Nebulizers are widely employed in the treatment of asthma, and are readily available at retail stores nationwide. Each member of the family should have their own mask, and both adult and pediatric sizes are available as well. However, the entire family can share the nebulizer and the tubing.

A Cure for AIDS?

In 1991, an obscure but crucial discovery was made at the Biochemistry Unit of Upjohn Laboratories. In the September 10, 1991 issue of Biochemistry, it states: "Among a number of metal ions tested, ZN2+ (zinc), Cn2+ (copper), and Ag1+ (silver) were discovered to be the most effective inhibitors of rennin and the HIV protease (data not shown). Kenectic analysis revealed that inhibition of rennin by Ag1+ (silver) is basically identical with that observed with Zn2+ (zinc), in other words concompetitive, with respect to the metal."
Further testing at Upjohn, including a clinical trial, revealed that zinc was toxic in effective dosages. This was the first reporting to be made that silver is a high effective protease inhibitor, and over the following years, this same discovery would be made several times. According to the Daily Herald newspaper in Provo, Utah, a full-time member of the administrative staff at Brigham Young University's physical plant, a researcher looking for patterns and answers to problems by crossing the boundaries of different disciplines such as physics and medicine, states he has determined that Colloidal Silver solutions will kill the AIDS virus without harming the human body. He had the solution tested at two different labs, and the results showed that the solution destroyed a variety of pathogens, including the HIV virus.
A year later, this same discovery was made at the University Medical Center in Geneva, Switzerland, according to the December 30, 1992 issue of Biochemical and Biophysics Research Communications, stating that the metal-binding proteins are important components of retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Therefore, metals could be used as anti-viral agents. Silver is a highly active bacterial metal with little toxicity for humans. Silver has also been shown to be a potent inhibitor of HIV protease. Three years later, Temple University in Philadelphia made this same discovery independently of the other discoveries, as stated by Professor Earl E. Henderson, Ph.D. He states:
"We tested the ability of biotic silver protein to inhibit human immuno-deficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in the human T-cell line, SupT1, as measured by syncytia formation. We found that pure silver protein inhibited HIV1, replication in SupT 1 cells as measured by a reduction in the appearance of syncytia in cell culture. There appeared to be little, if any, acute toxicity associated with the dose of biotic silver protein which inhibited HIV-1 replication." These results are very encouraging and suggest additional experiments that could be done.
The following March 20, 1995, Professor Henderson released the findings of another experiment at Temple University:
"My laboratory has studied the effects of a special formulation of biotic silver protein on human immuno-deficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) survival, and on latency reactivation of HIV-1 in the human lymphoblastoid B cell line, M57-3 Â¦ The results of the experiment show that exposure of HIV-1 to 1000 ppm of a special formula of silver protein for one hour at 37 degrees Centigrade completely eliminates infectious HIV-1 as measured by syncytia formation on SupT 1 cells".

List of Specific Uses

The following is a comprehensive listing of all ailments or disease-conditions that have been successfully treated by solutions of Colloidal Silver:
Acne, AIDS, Allergies, Angina (Vincents™), Anthrax, Appendicitis (Suppurtive post-operative), Arthritis, Athletes Foot, Axillae and Blind Boils of the Neck, Bladder Irritation or Inflamation, Blepharitis, Blood Poisoning, Boils, Burns or Wounds (Corneal), Cancer, Candida Albicans, Catarrh (Nasal & Nasopharyngeal), Catarrh (Spring), Cholera, Colds, Colitis, Conjunctivities (Gonorrheal), Conjunctivitis (Phlyctenular), Cough (Shooping), Cystitis (Chronic), Dacrocystitis, Dermatitis (due to Extreme Toxemia), Diabetes, Diarrhea, Diphtheria, Dysentery (Bacillary), Ear Infections (Inner Ear), Eczema (Chronic Anterior or Meatus of the Ear), Eczema (Perineal), Eczema (Pustular of Scal0p), Edematous Enlargement of Turbinates (w/o True Hyperplasia), Epididymitis, Erysipelas, Eustach Tubes, Fatigue (Chronic), Fibrositis, Furunculosis, Gastritis, Gonorrhea, Halitoses (Bad Breath), Hayfever, Hemorrhoids, Herpes or Shingles, Impetigo, Indigestion, Infantile Disease, Inflammation, Infections (Bacterial, Fungal, Parasitic or Viral), Pleurisy, Polyps (Nasal), Prostate (Enlarged or Inflamed), Prostatic Gleet (Gonorrhea Pruritis Ani, Psoriasis, Pyorrhea Alveolaris (Riggs Disease), Quinsy, Rheumatism (Inflammatory), Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rhinitis, Ringworm, Scarlatina, Scarlet Fever Seborrhea, Sepsis (Ears, Eyes, Mouth and Throat), Septicemia (Puerperal), Sinusitis, Skin Rash (Diapers), Sores (Soft, Sprue, Staph or Strep Throat, Stomach Flu, Thyroid Disorders, Tonsillitis, Tonsillitis (Follicular & Septic), Tooth Decay, Toxemia (Extreme Systemic), Trachoma, Tuberculosis, Typhoid Fever, Ulcers (Corneal Infected), Ulcers (Septic in Legs), Ulcers (Stomach, Urticar (Ulcerative, due to Extreme Toxemia), Valsavas Inflammation, Vorticella, Warts, Yeast Infections.
Colloidal Silver can be added to plant water in order to prevent the formation of mold or fungi and various other harmful organisms. It can also be added to the soil or sprayed directly on fruits or vegetables, such as avocados and bananas, in order to prevent them from developing brown discoloration, molds, mildew or plant rot. Colloidal Silver is also effective against canine parovirus and other veterinary uses. It can also be used to purify water by adding one ounce to a gallon of water shake well, then wait six minutes, and shake again, then wait another six minutes -- drink.
If you begin to experience any cold or flu-like symptoms, simply begin taking Colloidal Silver, initially tripling the dosage for three days, and then follow the normal regimen. Once you have used Colloidal Silver for a certain length of time, your body will become less susceptible to colds or influenza. If you develop any aches or sluggishness around 3 to 4 days after using Colloidal Silver, you are merely experiencing a cleansing reaction or "healing crisis" while the body is dislodging and expelling stored toxins through the various organs of elimination (including the pores of the skin). This condition is temporary, and its severity can be significantly reduced by ingesting additional quantities of purified water.
There are many topical uses for which Colloidal Silver may be employed, including: Open cuts, sores, wounds, abrasions, razor nicks, scrapes, scratches, skin rashes, warts, poison oak & ivy. Apply directly to acne, pimples, moles, insect bites and stings, toothaches, itchy or irritated skin. Spray in shoes and between the toes in order to prevent athletes foot. Apply as an underarm deodorant, as most underarm odor is caused by bacteria being released by the sweat glands. Spray any surfaces that may harbor Salmonella, E. coli, etc. Swab air ducts, heating vents or air conditioner filters in order to prevent breeding sites for germs. Spray in garbage cans, on kitchen sponges, inside refrigerators in order to prevent noxious odors. Apply to toilets, shower stalls, Jacuzzis, or bath & shower mats. Add to final laundry rinse in order to prevent damp towels/diapers from mildew odor. Add to dishwater, cleaning and mopping solutions. Sterilize water sources while traveling or camping. Add to flower vases, potted plants, pet water or birdbaths.

Product Quality Control

Many brands of Colloidal Silver are inferior in terms of quality and effectiveness. The most advantageous and highest quality grade of Colloidal Silver is produced by an electro-colloidal, non-chemical procedure utilizing the electric-arc technique whereby the silver particles and distilled water are colloided, in other words, dispersed within and bound to one another by an electric current. This method allows for the concentration of Colloidal Silver to be measured in parts per million (PPM). The super-fine silver particles are suspended indefinitely in demineralized water.
The ideal color of Colloidal Silver is golden yellow, and darker colors usually indicates the presence of larger silver particles that tend to accumulate at the bottom of the container, and are therefore not true colloids. The best way in which to ascertain whether the product is true Colloidal Silver is by reviewing the ingredients. If the product contains a stabilizer or other additives or lists any trace elements other than silver, or if it needs to be shaken, then it is inferior. Refrigeration may indicate that the product may contain an ingredient (additive) that might spoil at room temperature. Long-term stability is an important quality associated with Colloidal Silver.
Both the container and dropper must be glass, as plastic or other containers will not preserve the silver in liquid suspension for any length of time. There is an inherent electrical charge in the hydro-carbon molecule of plastic containers which in turn, draws the silver out of solution, thereby binding it to the walls of the container. Some products containing high concentration of silver do not necessarily destroy germs any more effectively than the safe range of from 3 to 5 parts per million.

NOTE About our TRUE Colloidal Silver Bottles:Dear Carol,
I would like to respond to your email regarding the use of our plastic bottle in the manufacturing of our "Silver Colloidal" product. Most colloidal silver experts agree that the bottle for packaging and any dropper that may be used must be made of glass. Generally speaking, this is true and for the most part is a safe rule of thumb being that all plastics are not created equal. Plastics generally have a hydrocarbon molecule that can chemically react with the silver particles causing the silver to follow out of solution, as well as low quality plastics are very porous allowing the silver particles to be absorbed directly into the plastic. The biggest problem with glass is that it is much more breakable than plastic, and can be a problem during shipping. It is also be somewhat porous. With these things in mind we did extensive testing on a special neoprene type plastic bottle provided by Industrial Container in Salt Lake City, UT. Tests were performed by Dr. G Lyn Kimball of Kimball Laboratories and Kyle Schick of Western Analysis Inc. What was found was that this special plastic is much denser than glass and will not absorb the silver particles. Also because it is a different material than most plastics, it does not have the same chemical reaction with the silver that a typical plastic will have. Other plastics should not be used to store any true colloidal silver product.
Sincerely,
Reed Bales Vice President of Sales
Silver Colloidal Inc.

Dosage and Administration

The human body is a complex system that may prevent certain levels or concentration of Colloidal Silver from reaching the affected area. Since Colloidal Silver can only destroy pathogenic organisms when it is in contact with them for a sufficient period of time, then the amount of the dosage must be higher in terms of concentration in order to be successful.
One teaspoonful of a 5 parts-per-million (PPM) solution of Colloidal Silver is equal to about 25 micrograms (mcg.) of silver. Anywhere from 1 to 4 teaspoonful (25 to 100 mcg.) per day is generally considered to be nutritional dose, and is reported to be safe to use for extended periods of time. Amounts higher than this are therapeutic doses, and should be used only periodically.
Natural health practitioners have usually recommended one tablespoonful daily for 4 days in order to establish a level, and then one teaspoonful daily for maintenance (proportional to body weight for children). After six weeks, a pause of several weeks has also been suggested by some doctors.
In cases involving an illness or sudden exposure to a harmful organism (such as anthrax spores), natural health practitioners have often recommended taking double (or even triple) the nutritional dose for anywhere from 30 to 45 days in order to provide general protection, and then reducing it to a smaller maintenance dose. In acute conditions, amounts ingested have ranged anywhere from 1 to 32 ounces per day. When taken orally, solutions of Colloidal Silver is absorbed directly from the mouth into the bloodstream, and then is transported rapidly to the cells of the body. Holding or swishing the solution under the tongue for approximately 30 seconds before swallowing may result in quicker absorption, and the silver may accumulate in the bodily tissues in sufficient amounts within 3 to 4 days in order for benefits to occur. In order for it to reach the lower digestive tract, add one teaspoonful of Colloidal Silver to 16 ounces of distilled water, and drink this for 5 days. Colloidal Silver is eliminated by the kidneys, bowels and lymphatic system after several weeks.
It is also important to consume several glasses of water each day when using Colloidal Silver in order to purge the body of toxins. However, if your body is extremely ill or toxic, do not attempt to cleanse the body too rapidly. If pathogens are destroyed too quickly, then the body's five eliminatory channels (the liver, kidneys, lungs, bowels and skin) may become temporarily overloaded, resulting in a "healing crisis" condition (commonly referred to as feeling worse before feeling better syndrome) that includes symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, extreme fatigue, aching muscles and other flu-like conditions. If this occurs, then reduce your intake of Colloidal Silver while increasing the amount of distilled water. In addition, regular bowel movements are necessary in order to relieve the discomforts of the detoxification process.
Incidentally, Colloidal Silver is completely safe for children, and many have used the solution either orally, or topically in the eyes and ears of small infants with no adverse reactions. Remember, you cannot overdose on Colloidal Silver, and even if you consumed 50 times the recommended amount, it is not wasted, as it will accumulate in the bodily tissues in order to provide further benefits in the future. One accepted method is to consume a 32 ounce bottle monthly in any convenient increments anytime during the month.
Our Colloidal Silver is manufactured by a true electro-colloidal process that is completely free of any additives, stabilizers or proteins, and utilizes the most current and up-to-date methods available.
Potency: 25 parts per million

Colloidal Silver Guide

1. History of Colloidal Silver

Silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic that has been used for thousands of years, with no harmful side effects ever having being observed.
Great Grandma put a silver dollar in the milk to keep if from spoiling as it sat on the back porch in summertime. Also it is well known that the ancient Greeks knew the medical value of silver. It was observed that those ancient families who ate from silver utensils rarely were sick and had few infections. This knowledge passed on to kings, emperors, sultans and their families and members of their royal courts. They ate from silver plates, drank from silver cups, used silver utensils and stored their food in silver containers. As a result of this use, silver was ever so slightly rubbed off and mixed in their foods. And after a generation or two, they received the full benefit from the silver particles which found their way into the body of these people, hence had little chance of getting any infectious illness. These royals were called Blue Bloods because their skin had a blue tint, due to the accumulation of minute traces of pure metallic silver. The common red blooded folk, however, ate from earthenware dishes with iron utensils and frequently were sick, whilst the royals enjoyed the freedom from infectious disease as early as from birth. There are many historical references on Colloidal Silver. One of the most complete is published in The Lancet dated Dec. 12, 1914. Colloidal Silver was in common use in America from the late 1800s until 1938. It was prescribed for a great variety of diseases and infections. There were none of today's antibiotics available, and Colloidal Silver was used for just about everything. But Colloidal Silver was relatively expensive back then, just as today's man made antibiotics are expensive.

CURRENT MEDICAL INTEREST

Today, Colloidal Silver is rapidly gaining favor in the medical community, reflecting a kind of revival in the public health sector. Dr. Richard L Davies, executive director of the Utah Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reported in 1978: In four years we have described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We are just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering and save lives. Some contemporary references from which this information is drawn include Dr. Harry Margraf of the St. Louis University, Dr. Charles Fox of the Columbia University; Dr. Carl Moyer, Dept. of Surgery at Washington University and the literature of Dr. Robert Becker- ô The Body Electric and Crosscurrents Other sources are listed in the references chapter of this booklet.

TITRATION Determining the amount needed.

Begin with the recommended amount of one teaspoon per day. Use half the recommended amount for young children and one fourth for babies. ---After taking one teaspoon of Colloidal Silver daily for four days, adults may cut back to one -half teaspoon daily ( and proportionally, by body weight, for children) ---The accepted method is for an adult to consume a 125 ml to 200 ml bottle of Colloidal Silver monthly, in any convenient increment any time during the month. ( THIS IS SUBJECT TO SOME DEBATE ON THIS AS PER USE EVERYDAY....BE PRUDENT IN THIS ) In the event a person begins taking Colloidal Silver while having a cold or flu or for any other virus, bacteria or fungus, - the daily amount should begin with triple the dosage ( one teaspoon three times a day) for three days, then follow the above regimen. Some people will feel achy and sluggish on the third or fourth day after beginning Colloidal Silver daily. This is called a healing crisis. When the body sluffs off a great many entrenched toxins at once, the eliminatory organs can become overloaded in which case it is recommended to drink lots of extra water this will lessen the symptoms rapidly. If a person, taking the daily amount, finds that he or she will still occasionally have an infection, one may even quadruple the RDD. There should be no danger of overdosing; however, very few people ever need four times the RDD. Since prevention is the idea here, one may err on the side of safety by taking slightly more than a perfect minimum because one never knows when there may be a sudden major outbreak of some germ in such numbers so as to overwhelm the combined defenses of an immune system fortified with only a minimum level of Colloidal Silver. If an attack of germs happens to be stronger than the immediate combined defense level of the body's natural immune system plus a particular level of daily Colloidal Silver, one may feel some illness, or worse. RECOMMENDED DAILY AMOUNTS Individual response may vary from the average amount of Colloidal Silver needed for optimum benefit for most people. About 17 per cent, or one sixth of the population will find maximum benefit from a less than recommended daily amount. And about another sixth will find they need to take more. BODY BUILDUP AND ELIMINATION :Five to seven days is average for the initial benefit of Colloidal Silver to begin. Colloidal Silver will build up in the tissues to at least a concentration of five parts per million (5 ppm) at, on the average, by the tenth day. This is the minimum effective concentration. Higher concentrations are desirable, due to the risks of illness from major exposure to a disease outbreak or major burn injury. One to three weeks after cessation ( again this varies with each individual) the Colloidal Silver effectiveness is finally lost and is eliminated through the kidneys, the lymphatic system and the bowel.

APPLIED KINESIOLOGY

Applied kinesiology is one other means of determining one's own individual need for Colloidal Silver, especially if the individual does not have a cold or other infection to begin with. Recheck from time to time, but always err on the side of excess. Kinesiology can be the most effective way to determine the optimum amount for infants, and very young children also.

. Colloidal Silver, an Exceptional Antibiotic

Colloidal Silver is the only antibiotic known reportedly to kill all types of viruses, funguses and bacteria. Colloidal Silver is also the only antibiotic known to be perfectly harmless to all parts of the body. ùùùùù(INCREASING PROBIOTIC USE IS REQUIRED, IT WILL ALSO REMOVE HEALTHY FLORA IN THE INTESTINAL TRAC) ùùùùùWhilst the liver and kidneys can be harmed by other antibiotics, Colloidal Silver promotes healing.

COMPARE WITH OTHER ANTIBIOTICS

Colloidal Silver is non-toxic to mammals, reptiles, plants and all living things that are not of a one celled structure. One-celled life uses a different method of Oxygen metabolism. herein lies its weakness. Since Colloidal Silver acts only as a catalyst, meaning , it influences a change in the rate, or occurrence of a reaction of one-celled organisms, but does not enter into any chemical reaction with the body tissues. The mere presence of Colloidal Silver near any virus, fungus or bacterium (one-celled disease causing pathogens) will immediately cripple their oxygen-metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung, which suffocates and dies usually within six minutes. The dead organism is subsequently cleared out of the body by the immune and lymphatic system. Each of the other man made antibiotics will kill only five or six types of germs. Increasingly more and more bacteria is becoming resistant to these antibiotics. These bacterium are commonly referred to as Super Bugs, however they are unable to form a resistance to Colloidal Silver which will kill not only the bacteria but also all forms of viruses, a feat no man made antibiotic has managed to date ! A further draw-back of all other antibiotics is that they will destroy a variety of the body's essential enzymes, but Colloidal Silver doesn't, disable or harm in any way the many different human body enzymes, as these enzymes are particularly different to the enzymes of single-celled life. Colloidal Silver actually promotes healing with less resulting scar tissue. No other antibiotic will do that. Colloidal Silver is claimed to work relatively fast - mostly within six minutes or less, upon contact within the body- that these disease causing pathogens have no time to mutate into a resistant strain as such a mutation requires far longer than the time silver needs to kill the pathogen. In fact to date no pathogen or strain thereof, has ever been known to mutate and develop resistance to silver in several thousand years of the use of this remarkable substance. To sum up no one celled organism or plant will ever be able to develop immunity to silver

NO DRUG INTERACTION WITH ANY OTHER MEDICINES OR HERBS

There has never known to have been a silver/drug interaction of any kind. The allophatic prescription pharmaceuticals of today are no more likely to react with silver in the body than did the surprisingly powerful herbs from which they were developed and used for thousands of years, right along with the silver. The chemical nature of silver is such that inside the body it behaves to as to form no compounds that are toxic, and when already in the colloidal and stabilised state, is even further removed from any possibility of the tiniest of problems. Colloidal Silver simply does not react with anything in the body except a germs oxygen metabolising enzyme.

HOW DOES COLLOIDAL SILVER WORK

Body tissues having 5 parts per million (5 ppm) of Colloidal Silver will be free of virus, fungus and bacterium. Silver particles are long lived in the body because they do not enter into a reaction, but act catalytically. A catalyst is a best described as a substance that brings about, or causes a reaction or occurrence without itself participating or being consumed. The Colloidal Silver acts as a catalyst in disabling a particular enzyme, best described as chemical lung , as it transfers oxygen and nutrients through the cell walls of the disease causing organism. The organism suffocates ! The mere proximity of silver will cripple the activity of the particular enzyme common to all viruses, funguses and bacteria.- whilst not affecting the enzymes of tissue type cells.

WHY IS COLLOIDAL SILVER NON ALLERGENIC

There have been no allergenic reactions to silver reported in recorded history of the medicinal use of Colloidal Silver, because Colloidal Silver only affects the rate and occurrence of a pathogens oxygen - metabolism activity as described in the foregoing section. However Colloidal Silver does not react chemically within the body. Over use of Colloidal Silver has only one effect, that is so called Argyria which is the development of gray blue tinge of the fingernails and the skin. What happens here is simply that the body starts to store the excess silver in the tissue and collagen, which make up the major part the finger nails. This condition however has no known detrimental effect and will disappear once the Colloidal Silver intake is reduced or discontinued for a while.

HOW HEALING IS ACCELERATED

Mitosis - the usual cell division in body tissue- is when two new, identical cells are formed. When Colloidal Silver is present in the body tissue, some of the divisions will be different. One duplicate cell and one dedifferentiated cell are formed. The dedifferentiated cell is like a baby cell that can change into any type of cell in the body. It will naturally migrate to a part of the body where there is tissue damage, where the cell changes to a local tissue type cell, adding to the normal cell repair in the injured area and greatly lessening scar tissue formation. This accelerated healing benefit of Colloidal Silver was discovered by Robert O. Becker, MD and was reported in his book, The Body Electric. He and his research colleagues observed a variety of cells which are primitive in appearance, looking just like the active cells in bone marrow of children. These cells grew fast, reproducing a diverse and surprising assortment of primitive cell forms including fully dedifferentiated cells and rounded fibroblasts. Positive Silver Becker states, produces large numbers of dedifferentiated cells, overcoming the main problem of mammalian regeneration. Positive Silver accelerates the healing process by over 50 percent. It is obvious that in the aggregate they profoundly stimulate soft tissue healing in a way unlike any known natural process He further stated in his book: positive Silver kills all types of bacteria exiting because no other single antibiotic worked uniformly against all types of bacteria. Positive Silver he says, : offers several advantages over previous antibiotic substances. There are no ions beside silver to burden the tissues. It works against all kinds of bacteria simultaneously and even kills antibiotic resistant strains and fungus infections.

HOW SILVER WORKS AGAINST FUNGUS & VIRUSES

A fungus is a series of single cells having tiny tubes of material on the cell wall stretched between the cells. Whether more linear in its spread and expand mode or alternatively more like a fabric in its reproductive mode, a fungus still will exhibit that same characteristic of a one celled bacterium, namely that particular type of chemical lung which is immediately, completely and permanently disabled by the presence of Colloidal Silver. Any fungus is killed within six minutes of contact with silver in the body. The Colloidal Silver Simply suffocates it! HOW SILVER WORKS AGAINST VIRUSES A single virus will invade a living cell of body tissue, then this insidious pathogen will take over the nucleus of the cell and alter its re-productive mechanism to replicate the virus, instead of the enzyme, hormone or other chemical the cell would normally have produced for the body within that cell. Later, the newly produced virus will be released from that cell into the bloodstream. However another interesting process happens. As the virus affects the cell for its own purpose, part of the response of that living cell is that it reverts back to a more primitive cell structure and chemistry. The oxygen metabolizing enzyme in the cell wall reverts to a more primitive form also. This more primitive form of enzyme is vulnerable to the effect of Colloidal Silver. The catalytic effect of the Colloidal Silver simply by being near the enzyme of this cell results in that enzyme becoming permanently disabled. It cannot function to bring oxygen into the cell and that virus host cell now dies. This process will take no more than six minutes and the body will dispose of it as it would any other of the millions of cells that end their usefulness each day.

DOES SILVER WORK AGAINST AIDS ?

AIDS is caused by a particular type of virus attacking and destroying the body's immune system. Once that virus invaded a cell in the body, the cell will respond in exactly the same way as described before, reverting back to the primitive type structure and enzyme responsible to act as its chemical lung, which is promptly crippled by the mere presence of Colloidal Silver as stated before, the cell suffocates and dies thus denying the virus to replicate. The Colloidal Silver kills the mutated cell, virus and all! Colloidal Silver kills not only present types of viruses, but future forms of any viruses as well. YES, future ! Because no matter how the virus mutates, it cannot influence and change the way living body cells will respond to its invasion.

Colloidal Silver kills all viruses, precluding future mutations as it also kills the virus invaded cell within six minutes, and because of its catalytic nature Colloidal Silver is not affected in the reaction, continuing to kill other single celled pathogens nearby.

DOES SILVER WORK AGAINST CANCER ?

The mutation of healthy cells into cancer cells occur continuously, even in healthy bodies. But such cancer cells are destroyed by the body's natural immune system at a rate about the same as they occur, and when the body condition is stable, there is nothing manifest that a healthy person would experience as cancer. Some types of Cancer are reported to be caused by a virus. Like with any virus, upon invading a body tissue cell it will take over the cells reproductive chemical factory thereby forcing the cell to replicate the virus instead, the cell will revert to the primitive state thus enabling the Colloidal Silver to be effective and kill the cancerous cell. A higher concentration of Colloidal Silver means more immediate contact with any virus or other pathogen.

3. COLLOIDAL SILVER AS A PREVENTATIVE

Colloidal Silver, as a preventative is unsurpassed. Sufficient Colloidal Silver taken daily precludes infection, disease, contagion and serious burn toxicity.

IT SERVES AS A SECOND IMMUNE SYSTEM
Taking Colloidal Silver daily is like having a second immune system. It lessens the load on the body's natural immune system and effectively kills the many bugs present throughout the body. In addition, it lessens the toxicity due to the average amount of germ, virus and fungus activity that occurs naturally in the body. However, tests prove that, due to the high absorption of silver in the small intestine, the friendly bacteria in the large intestine are not affected. The second immune system acts parallel to, and independent of the body's own first in line defense - a major advantage in warding off outbreaks of influenza or any germ plague or pestilence.

IT HELPS IN SEVERE BURN CASES
Sufficient daily Colloidal Silver is to have greater than five parts per million. Recommended is a higher dose titration, as determined by kinesiology, to an indication toward protection from all infection. To charge tissues with large amounts of Colloidal Silver is to be ready for any attack of germ and the inevitable biotoxins resulting from severe burn injury! When obtaining Colloidal Silver preparation the strength of the product must be taken in consideration. Tests have shown that preparations containing less than 30 parts per million of silver are not effective, as the amount of Colloidal Silver needed to bring the body's silver to an effective level would ( with some 5ppm Ag products) require the consumption of two litres of undiluted product a day! Fortunately, advances in the manufacturing technology of Colloidal Silver allow the manufacture of Colloidal Silver with 30 and 50 + mg. of Silver per Litre. IT HELPS IN SEVERE BURN CASES Colloidal Silver, as a preventative is unsurpassed. Sufficient Colloidal Silver taken daily precludes infection, disease, contagion and serious burn toxicity.

4. OTHER ESTABLISHED USES OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

An amazing, yet still only partial list of more than 650 diseases that Colloidal Silver has been used against include

(in alphabetical order): Acne, AIDS, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis and athletes foot, bladder infection, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, bubonic plagues and burns; cancer, candida, canine parvovirus, chilblains, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis and cystitis; dandruff dermatitis, diabetes and dysentery; eczema and encephalitis; fibrositis; gastritis and gonorrhea; hay fever and herpes; impetigo and indigestion; keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis and lyme disease; malaria and meningitis. Also, neurasthenia; parasitic infection, pleurisy, pneumonia, prostate infection. pruritis ani, psoriasis and purulent ophtalmia; rheumatism, rhinitis and ringworm; scarlet fever, septic conditions (eyes ears, mouth and throat), seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, staph and strep infections, stomach flu and syphilis; thrush (yeast infection), thyroid infections, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, trench foot and tuberculosis; ulcerated stomach; virus (all forms) ; warts and whooping cough and yeast infection (females).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SKIN PROBLEMS

While Colloidal Silver is used as a preventative against viruses, bacteria and funguses through daily oral use; Colloidal Silver has been also applied directly to open wounds and sores to eliminate surface infections. Apart from its beneficial effect Colloidal Silver does not sting or burn. Other antiseptics sting when applied to a wound because they are killing the surrounding tissue cells as well as killing the germs. But whilst Colloidal Silver kills the topical germs within six minutes, it does not harm any surrounding tissues.

Acne: In addition to omitting sugars,fats and chocolate from the diet, any person with acne should wash and rinse the face thoroughly four times a day; and after each rinsing, use a small amount of Colloidal Silver and massage it onto the problem areas two to three times with a finger or a tiny piece of cotton or tissue. This wash- rinse-massage activity may be continued throughout an acne breakout, or better, as a continuous prevention through the teen years. This continuous habit precludes breakouts, leaving the skin continuously clear. Most people find it helpful to carry a 50ml or 200ml bottle of Colloidal Silver with them for availability throughout the day.
Cuts and abrasions: Apply Colloidal Silver directly to the open wound and onto any dressing used. Colloidal Silver may be used as the only medication on the dressing, or it may be used with another medication.
Eczema and skin rash: Dab Colloidal Silver directly onto affected area, rubbing slightly. Repeat often to keep the area moist. Bandage lightly, if desired, keeping the bandage moist with Colloidal Silver. Change bandage daily. Warts: Cover the wart with a small adhesive bandage saturated with a few drops of Colloidal Silver. Keep the bandage moist. The wart should disappear within a few days. Large warts may take a few days longer to disappear.

RECOMMENDATION FOR INTESTINAL PROBLEMS

Optimum digestion: Put all, or a fraction of the recommended daily amount of Colloidal Silver, as determined by titration, into the beverage of choice accompanying any meal. As the food is digested, the presence of Colloidal Silver will keep the food from putrefying in the digestive tract, killing any germs ingested with the food, and leaving the food more useable. Also there will be no flatulence. Parasitic infections: To take an amount of Colloidal Silver, again as determined by titration to preclude parasitic diseases caused by tiny, worm like animals that burrow through a particular organ, or in some cases throughout the entire body. In every case, these parasites reproduce by laying eggs and these eggs have the same characteristics of the oxygen-metabolising enzyme as the single celled bacterium. These eggs cannot hatch when there is sufficient Colloidal Silver in the surrounding body tissue. They are killed within a short time and subsequently eliminated by the immune system. Diarrhea diseases: A number of diseases such as cholera, canine parvovirus or other diseases, where the pathogen resides mainly in the large intestine, can be fatal. The fatality is mostly due to the dehydration of the body resulting from severe and prolonged diarrhea and vomiting. The pathogen causing the problem is active in the large intestine, the one place where Colloidal Silver when used correctly will not penetrate. There are two different methods to overcome this barrier. The first is to take a 200 ml glass dosed with Colloidal Silver together with three or four big glasses of water on an empty stomach. This way the Colloidal Silver will get into the large intestine and should within a short time take care of the problem. The other method is by way of colonic irrigation the dose rate using a 50mg. Colloidal Silver preparation is 15 ml per 200ml. of sterile water. This method in fact brings the fastest relief from the disease, Medical literature reports that Cholera has been cured with Colloidal Silver. Healing crisis: This is a condition wherein the Colloidal Silver is killing the pathogens very rapidly. The body's five eliminatory systems, the kidney, liver, skin, bowel and lungs become temporarily overloaded. This especially is true in the case of overcoming AIDS with Colloidal Silver. One may feel as though he or she has the flu. It is recommended to continue the silver regimen, yet drink up to 4 liters of water a day, take five or six grams of vitamin C and a high enema. Repeat for two or three days. Please note if the healing crisis persists see your local practitioner for additional advise.

RECOMMENDATION FOR PURIFYING FOOD & WATER

Water purification: Colloidal Silver is an excellent water purifier. Water stored with one or two tablespoons of Colloidal Silver per 5 litres will be safe and sweet tasting for a very long time. Water containing germ contaminants (not toxic chemicals) can be made drinkable by adding two to three tablespoons of Colloidal Silver per every 5 litres of water. The Silver whilst purifying the water is also beneficial to the body, unlike the commercial tablets containing toxic chlorine bleach! To guard against such water-borne diseases such as dysentery, the following airlines now use either silver water filters or a well known Hydrogen Peroxide/Colloidal Silver combination. British Airways, Swiss Air, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France, Canadian Pacific Airlines, Alitalia, KLM, Japan Airlines and Pan Am. The Swiss and Australian Government has approved either or both the silver water filters or the hydrogen Peroxide/Colloidal Silver preparation which are now used in homes offices and town water supplies. After testing 23 methods of purifying water, NASA selected a silver system for its space shuttle. Home-canned foods: One-half teaspoon of Colloidal Silver per 1 liter in home-canned foods precludes the growth of all bacteria, virus and fungus. As the food is consumed, the presence of silver will aid in the digestion process by not allowing fermentation of starches contained in the food, and will prevent the putrefaction of protein or rancification of fats in the digestive tract. Neither will there be a formation of gas in the bowel, nor food decay from toxins to diminish a sense of well being. Most commercial food processing operations to date have elected to use preservatives which, unlike Colloidal Silver, are toxic and poisonous to people. were these commercial food processors to use Colloidal Silver instead, it would yield the triple benefit mentioned above.
Questionable refrigeration: In addition to keeping prepared foods cool and well sealed, add about one table spoon of Colloidal Silver per 1 liter (volume) to picnic foods containing mayonnaise, dairy products, or anything that has a potential for Salmonella growth and poisoning. Stir in very well. Leftovers and Condiments: Mix about one quarter tablespoon of Colloidal Silver into each container of mustard, ketchup or pickle relish. Mix one half teaspoon into items that spoil more easily, i.e. mayonnaise, milk etc. They will store longer, remain fresher and benefit digestion.

5. VETERINARY USES OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

The following conditions in animals, birds and fish have been successfully treated with Colloidal Silver:
* Bacteria and parasites in house pets, farm animals and birds.
* Parvovirus in dogs.
* Revival of belly-up goldfish.
* Scours and undulant fever in cattle.

FIGHT AIR POLLUTION

Silver can fight deadly poisons also. Japanese firms have announced the following startling technologies that use silver to purify air: One company converts 50 parts per million of carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide by passing the gas through a stack of screens coated with silver compounds. Another uses silver compounds to remove vinyl cyanide, methyl cyanide and hydrocyanic acid from its discharges. Finally a gas chemical company removes all the 200 parts per million of nitric oxide by passing the gas through its silver compounds.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

Colloidal Silver will react chemically with many of the 92 natural elements and compounds. While many of these compounds are toxic, pure silver is non-toxic. It acts only catalytically with the enzyme, or chemical lung of single celled organisms. Pure Silver won't dissolve in water, however if pure silver is by some process divided into single atoms of micro-clusters of fewer than 15 atoms each, given a positive electrical charge and attached to a molecule of simple protein, it will float in and throughout the pure water indefinitely, creating a so called colloidal suspension. The force of electric charge is stronger than the force of gravity, thus the particle remains suspended. Much has been written and claimed by people displaying a fair amount of ignorance of the workings of a colloidal substance mainly with regard to the color of colloidal silver. True colloidal silver is a colorless liquid because the micro-clusters of the silver are simply too small for light to reflect back to the human eye ( the particular wave length of the reflected light determines the color we perceive) Many manufacturers not being able to make a true colloidal silver preparation resort to using food or other coloring agents to give the liquid a yellow appearance because they somewhere have read that colloidal silver should have a color to its liquid.

Color will be noticed if one of the following conditions are present:
* The Silver used is of a silver sulfide type and not very healthy (yellow, mainly used in the ceramic industry)
* The Silver used is Silver Oxide (brownish, black in color)
* The particles are too big in size
* Food or other coloring dyes were used
* If the silver loses its colloidal state and precipitate out of solution (mainly black) in this case the product will have lost its efficacy and should be disposed of as contrary to some advise to shake the bottle will not revert the silver particles to a colloidal state.

People are best advised to stay clear of these products as they are in many cases of dubious quality and most certainly have little or no beneficial effect. If you have any doubt regarding the actual colloidal silver content, ask the vendor for a Batch Sample Silver Analyses. Reputable manufacturers will have Health Department approval for their manufacturing facilities and have their Colloidal Silver batches analyzed and the result of same available for their customers.

CARE AND STORAGE OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

Keep Colloidal Silver in the food storage, store it in glass containers only and away from electrical appliances. Although glass breaks easier, glass is the only material that will keep Colloidal Silver for any length of time. DO NOT accept Colloidal Silver packaged in plastic as its shelf life is minimal and the silver particles most likely will plate out on the surface and hence are no longer in suspension. There is an inherent electric charge in the hydrocarbon molecule that will draw the charged silver particle out of solution, bonding it to the side wall of the plastic container! You may not see it but it's there all right. The preparation is then unusable. Do not store Colloidal Silver in a refrigerator or freezer, as the long term electric charge of the appliance can have the same effect on colloidal silver as does storing it in a plastic container.

WHEN IT MAY BE THE ONLY THING AVAILABLE

Some people believe there may be a time in the foreseeable future when food storage may be the only means of antibiotic/disinfectant for any of us. Life would be very different then, with many items unavailable, and a storage of Colloidal Silver could be life saving. A very different condition in the future could be rampant diseases, plagues from contamination's of the water and air through man made Bio-toxins of germ warfare (as seen in the Strecker Memorandum video) Whatever the source, either invasion or local error any military activity can result in a major outbreak of anthrax or lesser causes resulting in Salmonella poisoning. Another extreme threat for our immediate future is the emergence of so called Super Bugs. Because of the current over-use of pharmaceutical antibiotics today, many virus and bacteria organisms will be immune to the conventional medicines! Colloidal Silver is not only a way of prevention now, but may possible be our best choice to store for future use.

8. MEDICAL STUDIES AND OTHER TESTING

Colloidal Silver and illness: The author of body Electric Dr. R. Becker, noted in his studies a correlation between low silver levels and illness: Those who had low silver levels frequently were sick more often with colds, flu, fever and other illnesses. He said he believes a silver deficiency is the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system and that silver is critical for the destruction of bacteria and viruses. Becker's experiments conclude that silver works on a wide range of bacteria without any side effects and without any damage to the cells of the body. Colloidal Silver and healing: Becker also states that the silver ion was doing something more than killing disease causing organisms. It was, he observed, facilitating major growth stimulation of injured tissues. When human fibroblast cells, which are common throughout the body, were exposed to silver, they differentiated. That is, they changed into an embryonic general cell, able to multiply at a great rate and then change into the specialized cells of the organ or tissue that had been injured. Even in patients over the age of 50 years, tissues healed as easily as a child's tissues. Colloidal State and Cancer: Again Becker concluded that in the presence of silver ion, cancer cells change back to normal cells regardless of their location in the body. He concluded that the presence of silver ion regenerates tissues and eliminates cancerous cells as well as eliminating other abnormal cells. Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom of Sweden's Karolinska Institute has used silver in his cancer cure methods for many years. he records that he has successfully cured patients who had been diagnosed by other doctors as terminally ill. Swimming pool water purification: Silver is widely used to purify swimming pool water, and it does not sting as does chlorine. A dramatic demonstration in Nebraska recently placed 250 liters of raw sewage into a pool containing no disinfectant. A standard measure of fecal contamination is the count of Escheri coli ( E. coli) and organism found in the human intestinal tract. The count soared to 7000 colony forming E coli cells per milliliter of water. Subsequently the water was flushed through a silver electrode array, which totally eliminated the E.coli within three hours. Follow-up tests also shown the water to be completely free of other one-celled organisms. Hydroponics testing: Tests in a hydroponics greenhouse showed that Colloidal Silver is absorbed and used by the living plant as are any other minerals. Hydroponics is an ideal gardening method having only one problem: Viruses, funguses and bacteria tend to thrive in the plant nutrient fluid. Colloidal Silver is proven to kill every one of the pathogens, and without any consequence to the nutrient medium or to the delicate plants. In addition, the plants ingested the silver through their roots, thus becoming a source of the silver minerals for human consumption. Overdose testing: In laboratory tests since 1985 researchers knew that overdose testing needed to be performed. One lab technician involved in the project from the beginning, volunteered himself as a guinea pig for the first project. He consumed 1 liter of water dosed with a high concentration of Colloidal Silver for a period of several weeks. The chemistry of his body fluids was monitored, as was his general well being (colds flu headaches etc. ). He was especially observed for any change in skin color to see if the technicians skin would develop a gray pallor of Argyria. He had no change of color in his skin, felt more vigorous and alert and experienced no aches or colds etc. Others in the laboratory repeated the test themselves finding the same results. UCLA study: It is claimed that some years ago an independent research laboratory sent to the University of California in Los Angeles a sample of Colloidal Silver to be tested against AIDS and anthrax. UCLA undertook the tests and proved conclusively that Colloidal Silver was highly effective in remedial applications against both disease pathogens. The independent researcher has obtained the same results in his own laboratory, and sought confirmation from UCLA. When the UCLA laboratory director called to confirm those findings, the director of the independent laboratory asked to have as the test results on a letter bearing the UCLA letterhead. However he was advised that a payment of U$ 10,000 was required for this letter. The UCLA lab report confirming the effectiveness remains unofficial.
