Brief History on Colloidal Silver
After researchers discovered that the body prefers
to utilize colloidal minerals, the endless possibilities which could occur
from the use of colloids in medicine were exploited. Colloidal silver proved
to be enormously effective against infectious organisms and extremely safe to
use, without the negative side effects associated with drugs. As a result,
Colloidal Silver was widely used in medicine as one of the main-stays on
anti-microbial treatment. It became the choice of medical practitioners.
Throughout the early 1900’s Colloidal Silver
rapidly gained recognition as one of the best infection-preventive agents, but
unfortunately its availability was limited due to the high cost of colloidal
silver production combined with the fact that colloidal silver could not be
patented. This profit limitation prompted the development of more profitable
infection-fighting drugs. Silver was ignored while new patented antibiotic
drugs became the choice of medical treatment. However, as is common when we
deviate from Nature’s path, serious unforeseen problems were inevitable.
Today, fifty years after the advent of patented pharmaceutical antibiotics,
many types of bacteria, which were once susceptible to these drugs, have
mutated to drug-resistant strains.
Over the years, the medical establishment has
reported on the new strains of "Super Bugs" that are resistant to every
pharmaceutical antibiotic. Newsweek Magazine reported in March, 28, 1994 that
in 1992, 13,000 hospital patients died of infections that were resistant to
every drug hospital physicians tried. Also, it is a well known fact that
pharmaceutical antibiotics are detrimental to the natural flora of the colon.
Colloidal silver does not disturb this very necessary environment.
How does Colloidal Silver work?
It is a catalyst, disabling the particular enzymes
that all one-celled bacteria, fungi, and viruses use for their oxygen
metabolism. They suffocate. Yet it is of no harm to human enzymes or any part
of the human body chemistry. It kills disease-causing organisms, in six
minutes or less, upon contact. Resistant strains fail to develop and the body
doesn’t develop a tolerance. Colloidal Silver is both a remedy and a
prevention of infections of any kind. Having sufficient Colloidal Silver in
your body is to have a superior, second immune system. It was in common use
until 1938. In addition, Colloidal Silver is the most useable form of the
most effective disease fighter there is. The body actually needs colloidal
silver to fight disease-causing organisms, and to aid healing.
Some information gathered from:
"Use of Colloids in Health and Disease" – by Dr. Henry Crooks.
Colloidal Silver is proven particularly effective in cases of intestinal
troubles. Dr. Henry Crooks found that silver in the colloidal state is highly
germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. Rather than in
a chemical compound, the silver, in the colloidal state, may be applied in a
much more concentrated form, with correspondingly better results. All fungus,
virus, bacterium, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and other pathogenic
organisms are killed in three or four minutes; in fact there is no microbe
known that is not killed by Colloidal Silver in six minutes or less, at a
dilution of as little as 5 parts per million.”—Dr. Henry Crooks
