The revaluation of colloidal silver

Only much later, in the 70s, colloidal silver became a highly valued substance again. While
physicians at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri/USA were looking for more effective
methods of treatment for burned victims and had already used many other drugs without much
success, they stumbled upon colloidal silver by chance.

Biomedical research had shown that no known disease-causing organism, such as bacteria, viruses
or fungi can exist for more than a few minutes in the presence of traces of metallic silver. Jim Powell
reported in an article titled "Our most powerful bacteria killer", published in the Science Digest (March
1978, pages 69-60):

"Credit is due to the surprising discoveries of research that silver is increasingly appearing as the miracle
of modern medicine. One antibiotic kills perhaps half a dozen disease-causing organisms, but silver
kills at least 650 of them! In addition, the body's resistance increases when silver is used. Silver is also
literally non-toxic.

Larry C. Ford, M.D. in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical
School Centre for Health Sciences, reported in November 1988 in a
Scientist circulars among others:

"I tested it (the colloidal silver) using a standard anti-microbial test for disinfectants. The silver solutions
were anti-bacterial at a concentration of 10 ppm of Strepto-coccus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus,
Neisseria genorrhoeae, Gardnerella, Vaginalis, Salmonella typhi and other intestinal diseases, as well
as fungal species such as Candida albicans, Candida globota and M.furfur".

A bio-medical researcher, Dr. Robert O. Becker of Syracusa University, has reported that "silver
stimulates bone-forming cells to grow new bones where healing has not been possible over a long
period of time. Dr. Becker is the author of "The Body Electric" and "Cross Currents". He is also known
for his work on bullfrogs and their regeneration of amputated limbs.

According to Dr. Becker, "Silver does more than kill disease-causing organisms. It promotes significant
bone growth and accelerates healing of injured tissue to over 50%." In his research he discovered cell
types that looked similar to active bone marrow of children. "These cells grew very fast," he wrote, "and
produced different cell forms that were able to multiply at high speed and then develop differently into
special organ or tissue cells that were cross-linked - even in 50-year-old patients. This endogenous
ability overcomes the major problem of mammalian regeneration."

Likewise, Dr. Becker discovered that silver "deeply and lastingly stimulates the healing of the skin and
other soft tissues in a particularly pleasant way, quite unlike other known natural methods (...) and kills
even the most recalcitrant infections, no matter what species they are, including bacteria and fungi in
the immediate vicinity. He concluded: "What we have actually done here was to rediscover a fact that
has been known to us for centuries, namely that silver kills bacteria (...); when antibiotics were
discovered, the clinical use of silver as an antibiotic had been dropped!

Since the advent of antibiotics over 50 years ago, there has been an ever increasing number of disease-
causing organisms that have become resistant to any kind of antibiotic treatment. In recent years, the
medical establishment has increasingly reported new strains of "super bacilli" that could no longer be
destroyed by antibiotics. On March 28, 1994, the American magazine "Newsweek" reported that in 1992
alone, about 13,000 patients in hospitals died from infections in which every antibiotic treatment method
failed miserably. It is also a well-known fact that the intake of antibiotics usually has a harmful effect on
the natural intestinal flora. In contrast, colloidal silver does not destroy the intestinal milieu which is so
important for health!

Fortunately, thanks to the timely reappearance of colloidal silver due to new technical production
methods and the very low production costs, we now have one of the best panaceas in our hands to
protect ourselves and our fellow human beings from germs.
