Safety Of Colloidal Silver

Friday, September 28th, 2007

With all the information available regarding the variety of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter drugs on the market today it’s difficult to know where to turn in terms of understanding what is truly safe. Of course, we rely on our medical professionals to recommend or prescribe the appropriate medications for our needs. But it seems as though every day some new piece of information regarding long term use and side effects comes to light.

The same can be said, of course, for more natural products that are on the market such as colloidal silver. While enormously popular throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, colloidal silver declined in use when antibiotics were introduced in the mid 1900s. Still effective – and widely popular – colloidal silver took a backseat to these new modern drugs and before long doctors no longer prescribed it.

Today, colloidal silver continues to be widely used because of its ability to fight infection and destroy bacteria. In fact, colloidal silver use is beginning to see resurgence even in the face of modern antibiotics. Not surprisingly, there is a vast amount of information regarding colloidal silver, and some of the information declares its use to be less than safe.

The fact of the matter is that colloidal silver use – just as with the use of any medication or substance – should be done in moderation and at the appropriate dosage. When taken properly colloidal silver is exceedingly safe and has not been shown to possess any toxicity.

Colloidal Silver Users

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

For those who suffer from a chronic health complaint, or are just passionate about staying healthy over the long term, we look for those medications or preventative therapies that will help us achieve our goals. For some, over-the-counter medications have been effective in treating ongoing allergies or other chronic conditions. For others, a periodic dose of antibiotics is the only thing that will help clear our symptoms and manage our ongoing health. Chances are that whatever therapy has been most successful is the one to which you will remain most loyal. When it comes to colloidal silver users, their loyalty is without question.

Colloidal silver takes microscopic particles of pure silver – a natural element that has demonstrated its powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties for centuries – and suspends them in water. Once the silver is introduced to a positive electrical charge it becomes colloidal silver. So small are these particles of silver that they can easily access the similarly miniscule cells of the human body. Applied topically or ingested orally, colloidal silver directly combats those microorganisms that can cause illness. And, as an ally for ongoing health, colloidal silver effectively supports the immune system, providing a second layer of protection for the body.

Not surprisingly – based on all of these facts – most colloidal silver users are extremely loyal to this therapy. Strong supporters of alternative methods of therapy and prevention, colloidal silver users understand that while conventional medicine is effective and viable, it is not the only option in every case.

Colloidal Silver For Medicinal Purposes

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

In this world of continued medical advancement, we are continually on the lookout for those products that will keep us healthy. It seems like every year more and more pharmaceuticals hit the market – each one designed to mitigate the symptoms of a condition, treat what ails us, and prevent illness. But what may surprise some people to realize is that while over-the-counter and prescription drugs are used on a daily basis, so are more natural, alternative methods of healing and prevention. In fact, the continued development of contemporary medications has not slowed the alternative drug market; especially as consumers look for ways to lessen their dependence on antibiotics and other modern medicines.

Colloidal silver builds on the longstanding popularity of silver – a natural element that has been used for centuries to eradicate bacteria and prevent the spread of infection. Long ago, when it was discovered that the addition of silver to food and drink supplies extended their longevity by stopping the growth of bacteria, silver became the preventative medicine of choice; and continued to be used well into the mid-1900s after it was found that it could successfully fight human infection and speed healing.

When colloidal silver is referenced it simply means silver that has been suspended in water and introduced to a positive electrical charge. Ingested orally, applied topically, or used in nose spray or as liquid drops form, colloidal silver is highly effective in suffocating and eradicating microorganisms that can cause illness and disease. Further, colloidal silver has been shown to provide a second layer of defense for the body’s immune system. Not surprisingly, it continues to be used by those consumers who have experienced the preventative and therapeutic benefits of colloidal silver.

Colloidal Silver As Part Of Good Nutrition

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Today, the topic that continues to be all the rage is that of good nutrition; and the ways in which a balanced diet can keep us strong and healthy throughout the years. Keeping pace are the popular diets that seem to crop up every year; each one promising us a slender body that burns fat and keeps us young and healthy. Through all the phases of dieting, people who understand nutrition – and understand their own body – realize that no fad diet in the world can promise long-term health. Rather, it’s the practice of moderation – and a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains – that can keep us looking and feeling our best. Diet supplements are the natural progression of the diet discussion and, subsequently, many people looking to optimize their health will take a daily supplement to support their overall good nutrition. One such natural supplement that continues to show enormous benefits is colloidal silver.

Natural, pure silver has – throughout the centuries – shown its abilities in eradicating bacteria and optimizing health. Used as a therapeutic and preventative medicine for generations, silver has been added to food supplies to enhance freshness, applied topically to skin wounds, and ingested orally to fight infection.

Colloidal silver takes microscopic particles of pure silver that have been suspended in water and introduces a positive electrical charge. Silver, in this colloidal state, can easily access the cells of the human body, providing nutrients to healthy cells and helping the body to rid itself of the unhealthy cells that can contribute to illness and disease.

While colloidal silver has been shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of illness, it is most effective as a preventative therapy. Taken as a part of overall good nutrition and daily exercise, colloidal silver can be the next step in optimizing the conditions for a lifetime of good health.

Using Colloidal Silver To Treat Eczema

Monday, September 24th, 2007

When the natural properties of silver were first discovered, it was used primarily for keeping food and drink supplies fresh and bacteria-free. But the anti-bacterial abilities of silver soon saw the natural mineral being used to treat skin infections on humans. It was shown, time and time again, that silver applied topically to wounds, burns, and infections would naturally speed the healing process and stop the growth of bacteria.

Colloidal silver is simply silver in an elevated state – microscopic silver particles that have been suspended in water and introduced to a positive electric charge. Applied topically or ingested orally, colloidal silver is enormously effective in warding off bacteria and supporting the body’s immune system.

But regardless of how much good colloidal silver can do internally, it is still just as effective on the outside. In fact, colloidal silver used in the form of drops is still as highly effective on skin infections and wounds as it ever was, helping to speed the healing of burns and damaged tissue, and even working to treat acne conditions.

Further, colloidal silver has been shown to be extraordinarily effective in treating eczema – an inflammation of the skin that is essentially an allergic condition. Itchy and sometimes painful, eczema tends to flare up and then disappear. But it also tends to be a chronic condition, wherein it reoccurs over and over again. In this capacity, colloidal silver – when applied topically – can help speed the healing process and eliminate the eczema.

Treating Herpes With Colloidal Silver

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Colloidal silver is a therapeutic and preventative treatment that continues to draw dedicated users each and every year. While relevant as a modern day medicine, colloidal silver actually has quite a long history – and was used almost exclusively by medical professionals from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s when antibiotics came to market. But regardless of modern medications, colloidal silver continues to be used quite frequently as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal remedy. In fact, colloidal silver has been shown to eradicate 650 microorganisms in the body that can cause illness and disease.

It is not surprising therefore, that colloidal silver has been shown to be highly effective in treating genital herpes - a sexually transmitted disease that stems from a highly contagious virus. Genital herpes causes periodic outbreaks of sores in the genital area, often accompanied by pain and itching. Currently, there is no known cure for genital herpes – only ways to manage its symptoms. The pharmaceutical drug market has expanded in recent years to include a bevy of medications designed to keep genital herpes symptoms at bay.

It has been shown that colloidal silver – applied topically with the use of suspension drops to the genital area during an outbreak may minimize the symptoms and speed the outbreak recovery process.

Healing Spider Bites With Colloidal Silver

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Spiders are our creepy, crawly outdoor (and sometimes, indoor) neighbors that most of us simply tolerate because of the service they provide in taking care of more irritating bugs. And most of the time we manage to stay out of each other’s way. But there are times when a chance – and unfortunate – encounter with a spider leads to a spider bite.

Spider bites are often symptomatic with itching and painful blisters due to the venom produced by the spider. In some cases, a doctor will prescribe antibiotics to help speed recovery from the bite.

Colloidal silver – microscopic silver particles that are suspended in water with a positive electric charge – is extraordinarily powerful in fighting bacteria and infection in the body. When applied topically to spider bites, it has been shown to minimize symptoms, reduce swelling, and speed recovery. Because colloidal silver has been shown to eradicate 650 microorganisms that can cause illness and disease in the human body, colloidal silver has long been used as a topical agent because of its ability to fight infection and speed the healing of everything from burns and eczema to acne and allergic reactions.

Just as colloidal silver works to heal these conditions so does it work to heal spider bites faster; so that you can continue your daily life with minimal discomfort and less interference.

Colloidal Silver To Treat Yeast Infections

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Yeast infections are one of the most highly uncomfortable – and often difficult to get rid of – conditions to infect humans. Yeast actually grows naturally in the body, residing in areas that are conducive to moisture. But our bodies also generally control the levels of yeast in the body through natural bacteria that keeps our system in balance. However, when the levels of “good” bacteria in our body are minimized – the result of several causes, including the taking of antibiotics that – in addition to eradicating harmful bacteria does away with the helpful bacteria that keeps yeast in check – yeast grows unabated resulting in infection.

Aside from being mildly to extremely annoying and uncomfortable, yeast infections can also be quite dangerous if left unchecked – damaging the immune system and exacerbating existing health conditions.

There are medications that help eradicate yeast infections, along with naturally effective tools such as the eating of yogurt with live active cultures. Colloidal silver has also been shown to be extremely effective in managing and eradicating yeast infections. Colloidal silver, a natural germ barrier with the ability to eradicate nearly 650 microorganisms that can cause illness and disease, easily eliminates the bacteria that can cause yeast infection, and naturally bolsters the immune system in the process. Further, colloidal silver has been shown to have significant abilities to heal body tissue – tissue that is damaged with pervasive yeast infection.

Colloidal Silver: Exploring Cancer Uses

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Colloidal silver – a long used anti-bacterial, anti-fungal therapy – continues to gain popularity as more and more people look for alternative healing and preventative therapies. Colloidal silver has been shown to be so powerful that it kills 650 microorganisms in the human body; taken orally or applied topically it has a enormous capabilities to speed healing and bolster the body’ immune system.

It’s not surprising therefore, that consideration has been given to the effectiveness of colloidal silver in treating cancer. Colloidal silver – when taken orally or applied topically – can have significant impact on cell function; riding the human body of microorganisms that can cause illness and disease.

Further, colloidal silver is produced by introducing microscopic silver particles to a positive electrical charge. So small are particles of silver that, once ingested, they can easily access the cells of the body – eliminating damaged and unhealthy cells and helping support healthy cells. Cancer cells are damaged cells. And because colloidal silver rids the body of damaged cells, its use has been shown to be quite effective in helping to manage cancer symptoms.

Of course, nothing should ever take the place of a physician’s care when battling cancer. But the more we know and understand about how cells function in our bodies, the better we can be at treating our bodies to those nutrients that will support and nourish it during its fight.

Treating Intestinal Illness With Colloidal Silver

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Brought on by a number of causes, intestinal illness is certainly uncomfortable and, unfortunately, is experienced by all of us periodically throughout our lives. Most often, such symptoms are left alone by doctors to resolve on their own. With little to ease the discomfort, intestinal illness can leave us feeling helpless and physically exhausted. But in many cases, colloidal silver, an extraordinarily powerful therapy, can help sooth stomach pain and rid the body of the microorganisms at the root of the illness.

Colloidal silver has been a therapeutic tool for generations – known well for its ability to fight infection in the body. Applied topically or ingested orally, colloidal silver can easily access the cells of the body, fighting in tandem with the immune system to eliminate bacteria and support health.

Colloidal silver is made with the introduction of a positive electrical charge to microscopic particles of silver that are suspended in water. Added to a beverage, colloidal silver – once inside the body – can act in a number ways to help eliminate – and, in the future, prevent intestinal illness.

For one, colloidal silver can eliminate any food borne germs that are ingested helping to reduce the occurrence of food poisoning or food related sickness. Further, colloidal silver can reduce the symptoms of infection that have already settled in the body, killing microorganisms, bacteria, and even parasitic infections often associated with intestinal illness.

With colloidal silver taken as a preventative measure, you can help to significantly reduce the occurrence of intestinal illness. And, should you be unfortunate enough to experience such illness, colloidal silver will help minimize the length of your suffering, reduce your symptoms, and clear your infection.
