Colloidal silver

What people have been accustomed to since ancient times as an expensive and noble metal, turned out to be much more expensive and priceless in terms of its properties. Our ancestors intuitively noticed the healing properties of silver and used it to disinfect water, slow down the souring of dairy products. It is unlikely that they knew about the antibacterial properties of silver, but from generation to generation they passed on their invaluable experience.

Colloidal silver is known to consumers under the names Protargol or Vitargol. Silver preparations are often used in pediatric practice.

What is colloidal silver?

The property of this chemical element to prevent the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms was known as early as the era of Hippocrates, in 400 BC. Prior to the invention of the refrigerator, silver bars and small coins were traditionally used to prevent the rapid souring of products by lowering them into a vessel with milk. Prior to the use of antibiotics in the 40s of the last century, silver-based products were used as an alternative to these drugs in medical practice.

Scientific progress has contributed to the creation of a new form of this chemical element. Colloidal silver was created – a suspension of the smallest charged particles in distilled water.

Colloidal silver is essentially a solution that contains silver ions located in highly purified water. In this case, for the onset of a therapeutic effect, the concentration of Ag must be sufficiently high. In the 20th century, people finally officially recognized that silver can be classified as an antibacterial and antimicrobial metal. Much work in this direction was carried out by Academician L.A. Kulsky. and Dr. Harry Margraf.

Since the human body, in fact, is one large colloidal system, a silver solution can be organically and safely dissolved in it, bringing undoubted benefits. In other words, silver colloid is an absolutely natural and natural solution for the human body. Approaching the cell of a pathogenic microorganism, silver accumulates to the required concentration, forming a bond of silver ions with atoms of the organic substances of the cell membrane. An intra-complex chemical bond is formed, and silver penetrates into a hostile cell. By acting on vital enzymes, it binds amino acids to the DNA of the cell, and thus destroys the enemy. At the same time, silver has a positive effect on mast cells, which are on guard, located in the most likely places for the introduction of pathogenic organisms. These are the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and respiratory system, skin. This blocks harmful substances and enhances the immune response of the body.

Benefits of colloidal silver:

• The colloid solution in distilled water creates new possibilities for ease of use.

• Water is a neutral compound, so an aqueous solution of an antibiotic will not cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx and mouth, the conjunctiva of the eye and other areas treated with an antibacterial drug.

The units of silver content in solution are mg/l (milligrams per liter), ppm (part not a million).

The principle of operation of colloidal silver in the body

Silver does not cause the death of bacteria, its smallest particles act as respiratory enzyme blocker these microorganisms. Thus, the vital activity of pathogenic bacteria is suppressed, their ability to reproduce is reduced.

At the same time, its potential is not depleted and resumes its activity many times. At the same time, a living cell remains full-fledged and fully performs its functions. This property of the colloid is especially valuable in infections, the pathogens of which penetrate into the cell: ureaplasmosis, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis and other diseases. Studies have shown that the sensitivity of pathogenic microflora to colloidal silver is much higher than the sensitivity of healthy cells. This quality ensures the safety of the drug for all multicellular organisms, including animals, plants and humans.

What the science says about the effectiveness of colloidal silver

Information sources on the Internet, discussing the pros and cons of colloidal silver, often contradict each other. Some of them, claiming that this compound is dangerous, rely on the FDA statement made by this organization two decades ago. Judging by the text of the statement, scientific studies confirming the benefits of the use of colloidal silver are practically absent.

Some of the websites that support the influential pharmaceutical company Big Pharma claim that colloidal silver is dangerous. Meanwhile, according to the American Association’s annual report on chemical deaths in the Journal of Clinical Toxicology, not a single person has died from the silver-based drug. This report takes into account absolutely all chemical compounds: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, household chemicals, medicines. But, according to the latest data from the association, the death rate from Big Pharma products is growing.

Until now, there are no weighty arguments refuting the ability of silver to destroy pathogenic bacteria. Clinical trials have repeatedly proven this exceptional property.

Scientific studies confirming the ability of silver to resist pathogenic microbes, strains of which are resistant to other drugs:

• Journal of Environmental Medicine and Healthy Nutrition – study “Viral pathogens and severe acute respiratory syndrome: Oligodinamik ag1 for direct immune intervention” is devoted to the antiviral properties of the colloid. Data are given on the successful treatment of SARS caused by coronavirus. An ultrasonic nebulizer was used to inhale silver into the lungs, resulting in a significant reduction in virus concentrations. The method is effective in the early stages of the disease, toxic load is not recorded.

• The British newspaper The Telegraph published data on a study by scientists from the UK, working in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies Jansen and Johnson & Johnson. The topic of scientific work is the study of the antiviral properties of silver nanoparticles in the stomach. Scientists built them into the body of intestinal bacteria and created a new drug on this basis. It is able to resist influenza viruses, rotavirus and other pathogens. The combination of intestinal bacteria and colloidal silver was successful

• Article by M. Adams (Ranger) “List of the best products for health.”

• In the article “Silver really COULD by 1,000 times” you can get acquainted with the work of the scientific correspondent Fiona Macrae that the introduction of the minimum amount of colloid into antibiotics increases the effectiveness of these drugs 1000 times and reduces the likelihood of medical errors in such therapy.

• J. Collins, Translational Medicine, 2013. An American scientist, a bioengineer at Boston University, proved by his research that the drug easily penetrates the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria. This property of silver helps counteract the detrimental effects of resistance to various types of antibiotics.

An analysis of the scientific literature suggests that the ban on the use of colloidal silver is associated with its high competitiveness. Its widespread use does not pose a threat to the general consumer, but may affect the interests of vaccine and antibiotic manufacturers.

Safety and Side Effects of Colloidal Silver

The FDA states in its publications that colloidal silver causes such an irreversible side effect as argyria – bluish-gray skin coloration.

Meanwhile, for the entire existence of medical statistics, only a few cases of argyria were recorded for millions of users.

Such an effect is possible with the use of water and preparations containing silver salts and large particles of the chemical element itself. For the concentration in the body of 1 g of silver, it is necessary to take at least 100 liters of the colloid of this substance in a short time. Such an amount cannot be purchased and used at the same time.

The rarity of this condition is comparable to the incidence of kartinemia from excessive consumption of carrots.

Clinical cases of argyria:

• A woman who has been using 4 liter of the drug per day for 1 years;

• A resident of California, P. Karason, who used a homemade drug for 6 years, 1/2 liter per day.

In all cases, there is overdosing and long-term use of colloidal silver, but the opponents of this remedy do not mention this. Not a single case of argyria has been recorded at a reasonable dosage (1 tsp / day).

Any excessive use of even the most useful drugs leads to unpredictable consequences for human health:

• Vitamin A. Excessive dose causes depression, schizophrenia, anemia, hepatitis, muscle pain, irritability, fever.

• Calcium. Excess leads to impaired immunity, myocardial infarction (“shell heart”), tissue calcification, and renal failure.

• Iron. Overdose causes cirrhosis of the liver and heart failure.

To avoid negative consequences, you need to use a quality product from a well-known manufacturer, follow the recommended dosage (no more than 2 weeks).

Method of application and doses of colloidal silver at a concentration of 10 ppm

Dosages and method of use of colloidal silver differ depending on the disease.

The optimal dose for internal use:

• For adults – 1 tsp. the drug should be held under the tongue for 30 seconds, swallowed.

• For children – 1/2 tsp., Use the same way.

• Calculation by weight – 5 mcg of colloidal silver per 1 kg of body weight per day (5 mcg / kg / day).

In addition to internal use, the drug is used externally as an antiseptic. They treat wounds, microdamages of the skin, ulcers, abrasions, boils. Colloidal silver, due to its absolute safety, is widely used in pediatrics, starting from the 1st day of life of newborns. A non-toxic drug is instilled into the eyes of a child immediately after birth to prevent conjunctivitis, to treat the navel.

How to use colloidal silver for healing:

• Diarrhea, abdominal pain. From 5 to 25 ml of the drug, 1-5 rubles / day until complete cure. There is evidence of a complete recovery in one day after the patient took 10 ml of 3 rubles / day (2 tsp each).

• Bronchitis. From 5 to 25 ml of silver 1-5 rubles / day until recovery. Patients recovered within 3 days after applying 1 tsp. funds for 2 rubles / day. Additional inhalations with colloidal silver, conducted by an ultrasound device, hasten recovery in severe cases, as well as in the ineffectiveness of various combinations of antibiotics.

• Vaginal candidiasis (thrush). From 5 to 25 ml of silver 1-5 rubles / day as part of douching, as well as 2 tsp. inside 2 rubles / day. The effect comes after 6 days.

• Conjunctivitis. Instill into the eyes a few drops of colloidal silver from 1 to 5 rubles / day, they show their effectiveness after 2 days.

• Incised wounds, infectious process in case of skin damage (inflammation, abscesses, addition of staphylococcal infection). Apply 1 tsp to the damaged area. (5 ml) 1 to 5 times a day.

• Otitis. Drip into the affected ear 2 drops of silver from 1 to 5 rubles / day. The full course of treatment is 4 days.

• Fungal infections of the skin. Apply to the affected area 10 ml (2 tsp) of silver 1 to 5 times a day. Usually 3 times is enough, the course of treatment is 8 days.

• Gingivitis, halitosis. Rinse your mouth with colloidal silver from 1 to 5 rubles / day. For the treatment of gingivitis, it will take up to 3 days, halitosis stops in a day.

• Pelvic inflammatory disease. Use 5 to 25 ml (1-5 tsp) to irrigate the vagina 1 to 5 times a day. The effect is noticeable after 5 days.

• Pharyngitis. Gargle 1-5 rubles / day, using 2 tsp. colloidal silver. The course of treatment is 6 days.

• Rhinitis, sinusitis. Instill into the nasal passages 2 drops of colloid 3 times a day. Recovery occurs after 4 days.

• Tonsillitis. Gargle 3 times a day for a week.

• excretory system infections. Take 2 tsp. (10 ml) of the drug 3 rubles / day. The course of treatment does not exceed 6 days.

Colloidal silver simultaneously kills pathogenic microflora and heals inflammatory foci created in connection with its vital activity. This gives excellent results in the treatment of erosive gastritis, cholecystitis, aphthous stomatitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers. Silver is active against Helicobacter pylori, which makes it possible to treat chronic ulcerative processes.

Excellent effect gives colloidal silver in the treatment of intestinal infections. Everyone knows that antibiotic treatment leads to unpleasant and sometimes harmful consequences. Dysbacteriosis occurs, which the patient may not be aware of for some time, attributing digestive problems to an incomplete recovery. This is caused by the destruction of both pathogenic and beneficial microflora. One can compare such an impact with the movement of a tank, crushing all living things under it indiscriminately. Destroying only pathogenic microflora, colloidal silver preserves the functions of the intestine, its ability to normally complete the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients.

The use of colloidal solutions will give a positive result both in the treatment of acute intestinal infections caused by putrefactive and fermentative microorganisms, and in the complex therapy of chronic diseases: enteritis, colitis, proctitis. In gynecology, colloidal silver is used for sanitation before labor, with vaginitis and colpitis of bacterial origin. Due to its healing properties, it is widely used for cervical erosion. For lactating women, this is an indispensable tool in the fight against nipple cracks. There is also a wide range of use of colloidal solutions of silver in prostatitis. The ability to destroy burn pathogenic flora allows the use of colloidal silver in the treatment of burn wounds and significantly reduces mortality from burns.

Contraindications to the use of colloidal silver

Allergy to colloidal silver is extremely rare. The reason is the simplicity of the colloidal silver formula, since it contains only a suspension of the smallest particles of this element. The exception is people who have close contact with an increased concentration of the element due to their profession. If a reaction occurs to silver jewelry, nickel impurities in the alloy are most likely to blame.

Another side effect of colloidal silver is the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. It manifests itself as a temporary deterioration in well-being at the beginning of treatment. The reason for this reaction of the body is the effect on the body of decay products from the death of a large number of pathogenic bacteria. A person feels increased fatigue, similar to the condition with the flu or a viral infection. If such symptoms appear, treatment should be temporarily suspended.

After weighing the pros and cons of using a colloidal silver solution for treatment, each person is able to make their own choice.

Getting colloidal silver at home

To get colloidal silver at home, you can use the Rottinger Silver Titan or Rottinger Silver water activator. With the help of these devices, you can get 3 types of water: living, dead, silver.

The advantages of silver water obtained with the Rottinger Silver Titan domestic water silverer is that the water is obtained using the electrolysis method and due to this it has a greater bactericidal effect than water obtained by contact with silver-plated surfaces.

Not all silver is good for your body, since jewelry and dishes are often made from silver of not the highest standard, therefore they contain carcinogenic impurities, and silver water obtained by the electrochemical method on a household silver activator does not contain impurities, since the electrode is made from the highest sample of silver Сp 99,99 (999 sample). Included with this device is a 9g silver rod made of the highest test of silver-999. With the help of a silver rod, you can get 2 liters of silver water in a couple of seconds and 170 liters for the entire time you use the device, which of course surpasses purchased bubbles in both cost and volume! In this case, the concentration of silver will depend on the operating time of the device you have chosen.
