WHO Nixes Colloidal Silver

[palani]

Never let a pandemic go to waste!!!


Governments seize colloidal silver being used to treat Ebola patients, says advocate

http://www.naturalnews.com/047101_Ebola_colloidal_silver_government_seizure.h tml


Efforts to bring natural Ebola treatments to suffering West Africans have been squelched by the World Health Organization (WHO), which recently blocked multiple shipments of nanosilver solution measuring at 10 parts per million (ppm) from entering the region, leaving thousands to suffer needlessly.

WHO officials also reportedly called off a trial at an Ebola isolation ward where local health authorities were set to begin administering the silver, which the U.S. government previously demonstrated is highly effective against Ebola. WHO ordered the trial not to proceed despite the fact that it had earlier voiced support for experimental treatments.

Both WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have given their blessing to experimental therapies for Ebola, citing a lack of proven treatment options. But when it comes to using therapeutic silver, all bets are off, it seems.

Authorities block small shipment of nanosilver three times
According to the Natural Solutions Foundation (NSF), efforts to ship nanosilver into Sierra Leone have thus far failed. The organization has been trying to deliver a shipment of 200 bottles of nanosilver 10 ppm, and 100 tubes of nanosilver gel, to no avail. At this point, the shipment has been returned to the U.S. for the third time.

"That parcel, shipped Air Express at a cost of $3400 to Sierra Leone on August 20, never made it out of Paris," reads an NSF action alert. "Air France has yet to find a reason for that. But it made its way back to the US again, apparently for the 3rd time without being delivered to Africa."

People are dying, and bureaucrats are still playing politics with silver
Formerly classified documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) reveal that antimicrobial silver solutions like the kind NSF is trying to deliver to Africa have proven benefits in fighting Ebola and other forms of hemorrhagic fever. Research conducted by the DOD and several other federal agencies back in 2008 confirmed this, though health regulators largely ignored it.

A presentation entitled "Silver Nanoparticles Neutralize Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses," which revealed exactly what its name suggests, was buried and kept secret for years. In essence, investigators determined that simple silver solutions neutralize viruses like Arenavirus and Filovirus, both of which are related to Ebola.

Interestingly, the research was conducted with the backing of the DOD's Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction. The presentation was given by researchers from the Applied Biotechnology Branch, 711th Human Performance Wing of the Air Force Research Laboratory.

But not a single mainstream media outlet reported on the presentation, and to this day its findings have been largely ignored by establishment health authorities. Sadly, this political quagmire -- nanosilver is an obvious threat to pharmaceutical interests, and thus is being marginalized -- is resulting in thousands of needless deaths in West Africa with no end in sight.

Contact your representatives and demand that nanosilver be used in Africa
NSF is calling on 10 million people to write their representatives and demand that clinical trials be conducted on nanosilver in Africa. The group says doctors and nurses need nanosilver to protect themselves, and patients need it to overcome the disease. Recommended dosages for each application are available at the following link; at the bottom of this page, you can also contact your representatives by inputting your zip code:

1) Everyone has the God-given right to treat themselves in whatever way they see fit - "my body, my choice," right? They're welcome to use allopathic medicines, naturopathic medicines, prayer, witchcraft, or whatever, regardless of whether it is effective. FWHO

2) Colloidal silver has no known effect against viruses. The DOD report is equivocal. I detest those who are lying to sick people that it will work.

What makes you so sure that nanosilver is ineffective against ebola? How do you know what to believe? You think the DoD is lying about nanosilver and ebola? Why then are governments seizing it? If it has no known effect, it won't harm anybody. Just the fact that they are seizing it, and making an effort to keep it away from people indicates to me that it might have some beneficial effect. Another possibility is that this story, like so many others is complete bullsh*t, totally fabricated disinformation--and governments are not seizing nanosilver, and it's all just a load of propaganda and lies. I'd prefer to wait for some definitive proof that nanosilver is either effective or ineffective against ebola. I'm inclined to believe that this ebola epidemic is just another regimen of 'booga booga' to stoke our imaginations with nightmares so the governments and media will have tighter control over all of us through out imagined fears.

There is no definitive research showing Colloidal Silver kills viruses. If you have some examples, please post them. Claims from "Dr. Rima," et. al., do not count. Fantasy claims "the DOD proved it!" also do not count.

Why are they seizing it? Because they can.

If you believe the Ebola outbreak is a "hoax," why do you care if the victims don't receive their "Nanosilver"?

Colloidal silver treats cows for mastitis in New Zealand whereas a local vet stated that his license would be lifted quickly if he promoted such practices in America.

As to whether colloidal silver is effective against viral infections or bacterial infections ...


Both bacteria and viruses are sources of infections.

The body has limited means to fight infections of any kind.

When overwhelmed then death is a strong likelihood.

At any moment in time your body is fighting BOTH viral and bacterial infections.

If colloidal silver is ONLY valid in the fight against bacterial infections then at least you have removed one source of infection. These leaves more of the resources of the body available to fight the viral infection.

I have given the above as an example of LOGIC. I know this is a foreign concept to many of you who would rather engage in argument and other forms of babbling but feel free to examine this LOGIC and see if the experience leaves you with a feeling of awe for the author.

Your quote is true, yes colloidal silver,don't kill viruses, it is indeed questionable if a virus can be killed to begin with. Basically it is a RNA packet with a protective surface, it doesn't express any life, mobility, replication outside of a host cell. So essentially it isn't alive to begin with. It is only replicating inside a host cell, by using that cells mechanism for replication of itself. With a viral infection oftentimes you get an opportunistic bacterial infection, that may be as dangerous or more as the viral infection. It is opportunistic because it uses the diminished capacity of the immune system to attack. Strengthen the immune system with vit C, garlic, zinc, etc. but also use colloidal silver to kill off opportunistic bacterii. It could mean the difference between life and death.

Even if a virus can't be killed, it may be dissolved by acids or heat for instance but those things would be even more harmful for human cells, so it is only to be used for cleaning...

Hi all. I have been making colloidal silver since 1998 with a SilverGen machine. It is still working the same as the first time I used it.

Years ago on our earlier website I posted my experience with colloidal silver and its outcome. I’ll share my story again and let you decide for yourselves.

In 1978 I had contracted genital herpes. I began having the outbreaks (you know where, and if you don‘t you don‘t want to know), was weak as a kitten for a few days and at the onset I felt as though I had a band tight around my head. This occurred fairly regularly three to four times per year. I saw a doctor and he said that there was no cure but he had heard that something sold in Mexico called Protamide (sp ?) might help. I went to Mexico, got some and began sticking myself in the butt with the hypodermics I also had bought. Of course it didn’t work but at least I learned how to self inject. Ya never know, it might come in handy someday. Sarcasm off

I heard about colloidal silver on the internet and began studying what it was, how it was made and how it might be able to cure me. I bought a Silvergen machine and began drinking about an ounce three times a day. I spread out the times to 8 hours apart because I had also read that about 98% leaves the body in 24 hours. I wanted to be sure my body would be flooded on a continual basis. I did this for about 6 weeks.

Guess what ? I never had an outbreak again or even a hint of any symptoms. Is this a cure or a coincidence ?

One of my daughters is a physician’s assistant and we discussed my having a blood test to verify that I did not have genital herpes any longer. She said that the blood test would check for antibodies which meant that I had been exposed in the past but could not verify that I had been cleared. So I am going on for 15 years now and counting with no symptoms.

Whenever I feel a cold coming on or feel that I have been exposed I take colloidal silver. I use it on cuts and burns. I even know someone who uses colloidal silver on his hip to relieve the pain from a past injury. He believes in it now and I purchased a machine for him through the internet (he paid for it). I called the Silvergen people And talked with the man who developed the machine I had bought back in 1998. He was surprised and happy to hear that his machine was still working all these years. I will buy from him when the need arises as well continue to send people to him.

There is an interesting sideline overview to this Ebola silver cure. What would happen if this current strain of Ebola got loose around the world and it was recognized that colloidal silver was the only cure ?

For years I have been saying that hospitals, doctors’ waiting rooms and surgical rooms should have cold vaporization colloidal silver injected into the air system. Also airplanes, buses, subways and anywhere that people gather.

Can you see what I am getting at ?

What would be the demand for physical silver ? It would no longer be mere jewelry, an investment or a small component of electronic gewgaws. It would be the source of health and life itself.

Colloidal silver - Don’t leave home without it.

Best wishes,

Agnut

P.S. Don’t buy colloidal silver or get it from someone else but rather buy a machine and make it yourself. That way you will have all you will ever need not only for yourself but also for family and friends. And it is so easy and inexpensive to make. Easy peasy.
================================================== ======
When I bought my machine I think it was about $130. It had the extra feature that it ran off both 110v and 12v DC. That way I could use a car battery for backup power if I ever had to. Now the machine is about $230. From what I read, it is a better machine and has a motorized stirrer. I would also recommend that you get the silver ppm counter; it is $60 or $70. Back in 1998 I bought the Hansa PPM counter which I learned is not accurate like the new counter.

I have made colloidal silver for many people through the years. In fact, earlier today a lady called me to ask for another bottle. How could I refuse ? HaHa

I have never charged for my colloidal silver. I have been thinking of how to charge them and it came to me that I never have enough glass bottles or corks. So that is going to be my charge with the kicker that they will feel a part of it all. Win, win.

I do wonder if we were to have a pandemic; what could we do to help ? Obviously, my one machine can only make a limited quantity. The solution (no pun intended) is to know enough to assemble emergency colloidal silver apparatuses and have the .999 silver rounds to share them. I know, sounds whacko, doesn’t it ? But that would be an irony for the ages. Imagine silver saving mankind.

I’m not a doctor or a medical researcher; I don’t know how effective colloidal silver will be against Ebola. It seems to be effective against anything it comes in contact with. Personally, I would trust it over the antibiotics out there because it has worked for me in the past.

By the way, I have had a cold air vaporizer sitting in the box for years in case I need it in such a pandemic. I always thought this day could come and here it may be. I say “may be”; I sure hope not. We really don’t know right now and will be watching and waiting for some time.

I can only dream that mankind will someday get it. I believe that we are in the service to each other. It is the only way that makes sense to me.

Best wishes,

Agnut

P.S. These what I call “emergency colloidal silver apparatuses” mentioned above are basically two wires attached to a battery pack with two alligator clips attached to two silver one ounce rounds sitting in a jar of steam distilled water. Many people make their CS this way. I prefer my machine because the circuitry cuts the current back as the silver concentration increases. Otherwise, the apparatus makes large silver particles if left running too long. Here, smaller is better. Nanosilver refers to a nano particle size of silver. A nano is a billionth. There are discussions about the efficacy of nanosilver versus larger silver particles. Google is a good place to do your own due diligence.
=============================================
Is Colloidal Silver Really The Silver Bullet Against Potentially Viral Infections ?

http://www.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/

[Twisted Titan]

The reason why the WHO is slaming CS is for several reasons

Alot of the diseases that kill third world peoples ARE NOT what we are told.

Most death and disease is the reasult of poor sanitation and hygenie paractices.

When deaths are logged on WHO records it can be whatever they want to spin it

At this time the flavor de jour is ebola



The reason they are banishing CS to the nether regions is because if CS used in any meaningful way it will be a firestorm event.

Baterial infections that were once considered fatal can be cured for next to nothing AND that power will be in the hands of the commoner not some technocrat who dutifully whores himself out to the corporations.

That is why CS is demonized so vehemently

It is a matter of survial and continued dominence.

I ran into this:

http://healthwyze.org/index.php/component/content/article/633-everything-about-colloidal-silver.html

just now.

I'm still wondering why you think you know everything there is to know about nanoslver, Crimethink. At one period in my life, I had some very strongly held opinions--that in my mind were the truth, and anyone who disagreed or differed had to be corrected--obsessively, compulsively, etc. Then I reached a point where I saw just how much energy it took to do that, and what good it did. There was not a good cost-benefit ratio there. The only thing I could really control was myself, so when I hear peoples' opinions that I think are pure equine scatology, I just grin to myself and feel rewarded that I don't believe such horse-puckey, and let them go their own way without comment. Saves me a lot of energy, and harms no one. In fact it helps me hold on to my friends, or people who could be my friends, and nobody thinks I'm an obnoxious know-it-all. What people believe is their right--even if they believe bullshit. I am strongly of the opinion that whatever you believe, even if it's all lies, is the truth for you--and only you can change it. For me, it is better to live well than to always 'be right'. So, I applaud your conviction that nanosilver has no effect on viruses. This conviction will be on trial, and if it turns out to be false, well, we shall see how you deal with that. I'm not even going to say "I told you so." I'm reserving judgment until the facts are conclusive, and I'm assuming everyone who tells me anything is lying to support some unspoken agenda they have.

I invite you to show where I have claimed "I know everything there is to know" about colloidal silver ("nanosilver" is a marketing term for the same thing).

I have simply pointed out that the claims about "nanosilver" are unsupported by legitimate evidence. On the contrary, CS has been shown to be ineffective against viruses.



What people believe is their right--even if they believe bullshit. I am strongly of the opinion that whatever you believe, even if it's all lies, is the truth for you--and only you can change it.


People have the right to believe bullshit, and I have the right to tell them it's bullshit.

The Truth exists apart from us. There is no "truth for me" and "truth for you." The noble aim of all is to find that Truth.




So, I applaud your conviction that nanosilver has no effect on viruses.


I await real evidence it does.




This conviction will be on trial, and if it turns out to be false, well, we shall see how you deal with that. I'm not even going to say "I told you so." I'm reserving judgment until the facts are conclusive, and I'm assuming everyone who tells me anything is lying to support some unspoken agenda they have.


You are willing to allow people to make claims that may very well not be true, and not speak out about it. I am not. I cannot. It is immoral to do nothing in the face of possible deceit.

If someone wants to use CS, believing it will cure them, I invite them to go for it. But I do not want them to be under the impression that it "will" work because merchants insist it will.

Like I said, merchants. Rima Laibow is not a licensed medical doctor. She is a saleswoman.




When you get letters like this http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm416051.htm from the wicked devils that run the "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES"
You know it must do some good or they would bother with it.

Is that your evidentiary standard? If the FDA sends out a warning letter? LOL

The FDA sends out similar letters to "magnetic therapy" quacks, too. I guess they "must work," as well.

Is NanoSilver the “Silver Bullet” Against Potentially Deadly Viral Infections?

The recent outbreak of the strange new so-called “Swine Flu” hybrid virus has just about everybody in the natural health community asking the same two questions, i.e., What’s the single-most powerful all-natural anti-viral substance in existence, and where can I get some?

And they’re asking these two important questions with very good reason. After all, flu vaccines are worthless against mutant viruses. And as has now been widely reported, the popular prescription flu drug Tamiflu is also worthless against most viruses, and in fact has never been shown to be effective against the so-called “Swine Flu” virus.

What’s more, Tamiflu has been known to cause startling mental disturbances in patients taking it, including psychotic episodes leading to death, particularly in young children and teens. The nation of Japan has even banned Tamiflu use by children and teens after 18 deaths were reported. And in some countries warnings of Tamiflu’s brain-altering effects must be posted by law on packages of the flu drug.

Safe, Natural, Highly Anti-Viral

Fortunately, as you will learn in this report, safe, natural mineral silver, in a variety of forms, including colloidal silver, has nearly three decades worth of solid medical research behind it, demonstrating its powerful anti-viral qualities.

Indeed, newer research demonstrates that silver is so powerfully effective against viruses, it even stops the deadly HIV (i.e., the AIDs virus) from infecting human cells. And older research dating back to the 1980’s demonstrates that silver can stop numerous types of viruses from replicating, simply by bonding to them. In fact, silver altogether decimates many viruses, simply from being in close contact with them.

The key, as you’ll discover throughout this report, is in the size of the silver particles. They must be very small silver micro-particles – i.e., what is more commonly known as “nanosilver” -- in order to exhibit such powerful anti-viral qualities.

In this special report, you’ll discover some of the most convincing medical evidence demonstrating that nano-scale sized silver particles – which is to say, very small particles of silver measured in nanometers (nm) -- are the single-most effective all-natural anti-viral substances on the face of the earth.

And you’ll come to understand why colloidal silver – the popular nutritional supplement known as the world’s most powerful natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent – is very likely your best bet for personal and family protection against potentially deadly viral agents, too, as long as it contains nano-scale sized silver particles.

You’ll also learn about one more interesting fact about colloidal silver, which I’ll save for last, even though it may well be the most important and potentially life-saving fact of them all. We’ll get to that later, since it has such important repercussions for people who may have extended families, or other friends and loved ones they are responsible for outside of their own family unit.

The Famous HIV Study

So let’s start with what is perhaps the most important new medical study ever conducted on silver and viruses – the recent HIV study demonstrating silver’s powerful anti-viral qualities against one of the greatest scourges of mankind, the AIDs virus. And then we’ll take a look at many other studies, too, demonstrating silver’s potent virucidal qualities.

In June 2005 The Journal of Nanobiotechnology, published a ten page study that rocked medical science. The study was the result of seven scientists’ exploration into the virus inhibiting qualities of nanosilver – very tiny, invisible particles of silver measured in nanometers. (A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or one-ten thousandth of a hair’s breadth.)

What the study demonstrated is that these tiny nano-scale particles of silver were able to inhibit HIV-1 (i.e., the AIDS virus) from binding to host cells, in vitro.

What this means is that in the test tube, when they placed the AIDS virus alongside human cells in a medium that would normally allow the virus to bind with the cell (and thus cause viral infection), the introduction of tiny nano-particles of silver into the medium prevented the binding from taking place.

In other words, the silver particles stopped the infection from taking place.

The study abstract reads as follows:

Abstract

“The interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules and microorganisms is an expanding field of research. Within this field, an area that has been largely unexplored is the interaction of metal nanoparticles with viruses.

In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with HIV-1, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1–10 nm attached to the virus.

The regular spatial arrangement of the attached nanoparticles, the center-to-center distance between nanoparticles, and the fact that the exposed sulfur-bearing residues of the glycoprotein knobs would be attractive sites for nanoparticle interaction suggest that silver nanoparticles interact with the HIV-1 virus via preferential binding to the gp120 glycoprotein knobs.

Due to this interaction, silver nanoparticles inhibit the virus from binding to host cells, as demonstrated in vitro.”

While silver’s well-known toxicity to a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens has been thoroughly documented in previous research by many leading research facilities, this study takes the previous research to a whole new level.

For the first time, the long-proven antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles were applied to a highly infectious form of virus with no known cure. And the interaction between the metallic particles, the virus and the cells were studied.

The scientists tested a variety of particle sizes. And they also tested the idea of coating the tiny silver particles with several different surface chemistries including a “foamy carbon matrix,” a polymer and a protein molecule. The goal was to determine if any of these substances would help stabilize the silver particles and aid the silver’s anticipated reaction with the virus.

What they discovered, however, is that only the ‘free surface’ silver nanoparticles in the range of 1 to 10 nanometers interacted with the HIV-1 cells.

Silver Nanoparticles Rule!

This basically means the silver needed no help from the other substances. In fact, anything added to the basic silver nanoparticle served only to prevent the metal’s interaction with the viral microorganism!

What’s more, according to the study, only the very smallest silver particles inactivated the virus’ ability to bond with the host cells. Larger particles did not.

Ultimately the study found that the tiny silver nanoparticles no larger than 10 nm were able to bond to the deadly viral microorganisms and prevented the virus from bonding with the host cell. No bonding to host cell, no viral infection!

A Silver Cathode-Electrode That Helps Fights AIDS and Other Serious Blood Borne Infections!

Actually, silver’s unique ability to inactivate deadly viruses such as the AIDS virus has been known for several decades. The above study merely confirmed what had already been known among cutting edge medical researchers.

For example, three years before the above study was completed, a Reading, PA company called Arrow International, Inc. developed and patented a new catheter-electrode system that uses a low-intensity electrical current to push bacteria and virus-fighting silver ions directly into the human bloodstream. According to the company press release:

"The catheter combines a silver electrode inserted into the patient's blood stream with a second electrode placed on the nearby skin. The combined action releases silver ions into the blood for immediate reaction with pathogens such as HIV viruses. The silver ions do not attack normal human cells because these cells have protective walls, which is not the case for bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Studies revealed in U.S. Patent, No. 6,066,489 assigned to Arrow International, Inc. of Reading, Pennsylvania show improvement by HIV patients treated with in-blood silver ions. One patient prior to treatment had over two million copies of the HIV virus per milliliter of blood and had an infection fighter cell (T4 cells) count of 18. The patient was experiencing serious kidney malfunction. Within 24 hours after silver ion treatment, the HIV virus count dropped to about one million copies and T4 cells fell to 11. One month after treatment began, the HIV virus count was again halved and the Patient's overall health improved.

The catheter-electrode system is intended to be a universal aid in treating blood-borne infections otherwise extremely difficult to treat or cure once infection has begun. Blood-borne viruses can completely overwhelm a patient, defeating the immune system and leading to death. The catheter electrode is 97.8 percent silver, 2 percent Platinum, and 0.2 percent copper. The silver supplies the active silver ion; platinum acts as a catalyst to aid in the release of the silver ions and prevents a buildup of oxides on the electrode. Copper controls the release rate of the silver from the electrode. The small amount of silver introduced into the patient's bloodstream, and the extremely low levels of current, are both highly effective and physiologically safe."

Fascinating, right? But wait a minute. That particular technique for destroying the AIDS virus in the human body was actually invented a long time ago. Only it used pure silver electrodes rather than silver, platinum and copper electrodes. Here’s the story…

Silver Ions Used to Successfully Treat and Cure AIDS in Mexico

According to this article by Dr. Dr. Charles D. Beal, M.D., a system involving the use of electrically generated silver ions delivered via a medical catheter and silver electrodes inserted directly into the bloodstream of AIDS victims has successfully been used in Mexico to treat and cure AIDS patients, as far back as 1989.

It all started with a Dr. Philip Burris, Ph.D., decided to apply the technique invented by the renowned physician and electro-medical researcher Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD of Syracuse Medical University. Becker had discovered a way to use low intensity direct electrical current (LIDC) to produce silver ions inside of the human body, in order to heal infections. He had used the technique to cure numerous so-called “incurable” bone infections (i.e., including antibiotic resistant osteomyelitis) simply by surgically opening the patient up, debriding the infected area of bone, stuffing silver mesh into the infected area, and attaching low-voltage electrodes to the silver mesh, thus using micro-amps of electricity to drive tiny pure silver ions deep into the infected tissue and bone of his patients.

Dr. Burris wondered if a similar technique could be used successfully to treat AIDS victims. He started by talking a research veterinarian into applying the technique to a cat that was dying from the Feline Leukemia Virus (FLV). The treatment consisted of using a catheter to insert a length of pure silver wire into the superior vena cava, through a jugular vein. The researcher then ran a low-intensity electrical current through the silver wire so that silver ions were produced directly into the cat’s bloodstream. Within weeks of the treatment, the cat made a full recovery.

Later, Dr. Cesar Garcia Ramirez, MD, decided to try the same treatment on some of his dying AIDS patients. Quoting the article:

“Cesar Garcia Ramirez, MD, practicing in Tijuana, became aware of the FIV treatment, and felt that it would be a compassionate act to at least try the therapy on some of his dying AIDS patients. He obtained permission from the Baja California Division of Public Health, as well as agreement for the treatment protocol from a group of physicians serving as the Institutional Review Board (Human Studies Committee). Volunteer patients were fully informed and signed consent forms. Initially, three very ill patients were chosen.

Silver electrodes in silicon rubber catheters were placed in arm veins and passed up as far as the vena cava, or near to it. Each patient was treated for 12 minutes at 2.5 microamps, then for 72 hours at 125 microamps except that one patient was treated for only 48 hours. All three patients felt better by the second day, and considerably better by Day 5. Viral loads dropped precipitously, almost to zero in one patient and much lower than the initial count in the other two.”

This took place sometime after 1989. But several years before that, a patent was filed with the US Patent Office for another novel method of using silver against AIDS – this time to prevent the AIDs virus from infecting a person during the sexual act. Here’s the story…

A Patent for a Novel Method of Using Silver to Prevent AIDS Infections During Sex

In 1988, this patent for “A method of inhibiting the transmission of AIDS virus in humans upon sexual intercourse which comprises topically applying an effective antiviral amount of silver sulfadiazine to a sexual canal of a human prior to or during sexual intercourse” was filed with the US Patent Office, application number EP19880301620.

The patent is based in part on a study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 132, No. 1, July 1975, pages 79-81, titled, "In vitro activity of silver sulfadiazine against Herpesvirus hominis," which apparently demonstrated the effectiveness of silver sulfadiazine against human herpes virus.

Silver sulfadiazine, of course, is the well-known silver-based prescription cream known commercially as Silvadene, which in burn wards around the world is routinely applied to the skin of burn victims in order to prevent their burnt flesh from becoming infected. It is composed of 1% solution of silver suspended in a water-soluble cream base.

According to the patent:

“…silver sulfadiazine is an antibacterial agent useful in treating burns in man and animal. Silver sulfadiazine is also known to be effective against certain viruses, such as herpes simplex and herpes zoster. Silver sulfadiazine is further known to be effective against treponema pallidum [i.e., syphilis] and gonorrhea, and is spermicidal.

[palani]

It has now been found quite unexpectedly that silver sulfadiazine is an effective antiviral agent against the AIDS virus. Accordingly, the method of the present invention of inhibiting the transmission of AIDS virus in humans upon sexual intercourse comprises topically applying an effective antiviral amount of silver sulfadiazine to a sexual canal of a human prior to or during sexual intercourse. The known effectiveness of silver sulfadiazine against gonorrhea assists in its effectiveness in inhibiting the transmission of AIDS virus.

As noted above, the method of the present invention of inhibiting the transmission of AIDS virus in humans upon sexual intercourse comprises topically applying an effective antiviral amount of silver sulfadiazine to a sexual canal of a human prior to or during sexual intercourse. The sexual canal can be a vaginal canal or an anal canal.”

In other words, according to the patent holder, simply applying this particular form of silver cream to the sexual canal prior to sexual intercourse, or during sexual intercourse, inhibits the transmission of the AIDS virus!

Amazing, isn’t it? Silver has clearly been known by modern medical science to be effective against serious and even deadly viruses such as HIV since the 1980’s. But it’s not just the AIDs virus that silver has been demonstrated to be effective against in studies. Many other viral pathogens are also either completed inactivated or even destroyed by silver.

Colloidal Silver Shows Efficacy Against Smallpox Virus

In this study, published in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal back in September 1992, it was found that that several different preparations of colloidal silver showed amazing efficacy against the smallpox virus.

Two medical colloidal silver preparations were used, one called Collargol, and one called Protargol. The latter was apparently a diluted preparation.

The study showed a 700 times reduction in the concentration of viral particles when Protargol was applied, and by a whopping 11,000 times reduction in viral particles when the more highly concentrated Collargol was applied.

Silver Inactivates Herpes Simplex Type I and II

Going back even further, a study conducted in 1972 at Department of Microbiology, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, it was demonstrated that the Herpes Simplex Virus types I and II were totally inactivated by low concentrations of silver nitrate, which is a more caustic, chemical form of silver.

According to the study, silver nitrate caused so much damage to the viruses, they simply could no longer cause infection.

EPA Approves Use of a Colloidal Silver Spray Disinfectant that Kills Viruses on Surfaces

Moving forward to recent years, even the EPA is now approving silver for certain virucidal purposes.

As reported by the Silver Institute (a group which keeps silver investors appraised of all of the new uses for silver in business and industry), the EPA has recently approved the use of a product called Axen30, a liquid spray disinfectant similar to colloidal silver, for use in child day-care centers, preschools, schools, gymnasiums and children's activity centers.

Axen30 is a dilute formula consisting of 30 ppm silver used as a spray disinfectant. But here's the interesting part:

The EPA-approved advertising claims for Axen30 include a 30-second kill time and a 24-hour residual kill on standard indicator bacteria, a two-minute kill time on the resistant bacteria MRSE and VRE, a 10-minute kill time on fungi, a 30-second kill time on HIV Type I, and a 10-minute kill time on other viruses.

Now that’s amazing – a 30-second kill time against HIV (i.e., Human Immunodeficiency Virus, aka the AIDS virus), and a ten minute kill time against other viruses!

Silver Compound in Countertops Eliminates SARS Virus

Perstorp, a Swedish manufacturing company based in Italy, manufactures a special polymer from which countertops are made. What makes the Perstorp countertop unique is that extremely tiny nanosilver particles are impregnated into the polymer.

Upon human contact, the nanosilver-impregnated polymer begins emitting silver ions. This unique silver ion-emitting polymer was developed for use with products such as toilet seats, door knobs, and other common contact surfaces.

According to news reports, the compound that was successfully tested by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control against SARS, which has a particular interest in public safety due to the SARS virus outbreaks of the past few years in China.

Zhang Panhe, professor at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in China, recently stated, “We tested the compound against a four-hour, eight- hour, and 24-hour exposure period and found no surviving SARS virus upon 24 hours of exposure to the polymer...”

In other words, when the polymer was purposely contaminated by the SARS virus, it began killing the virus within four hours, and had killed all SARS viruses on the surface within 24 hours.

This special silver-impregnated polymer is now in use in many hospitals, laboratories and medical research facilities throughout China. What’s more, many variants of silver-impregnated polymers are being used in similar medical-related facilities around the world, in order to help stop the spread of potentially deadly bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens.

Infectivity of Monkeypox Virus Inhibited by Silver Nanoparticles

According to this study published in volume 3, number 4, April 2008 edition of Nanoscale Research Letters, very small silver particles (10 nm in size) significantly inhibited the infectivity of the Monkeypox virus.

The study was conducted in conjunction with the Applied Biotechnology Branch, Human Effectiveness Directorate of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

The study’s authors concluded, “These results demonstrate that silver-based nanoparticles of approximately 10 nm inhibit Monkey Pox Virus infection in vitro, supporting their potential use as an anti-viral therapeutic.”

According to Wikipedia.com, monkey pox virus is usually transmitted to humans from rodents, pets, and primates through contact with the animal's blood or through a bite. Its symptoms can be difficult to distinguish clinically from smallpox (to which it is closely related) and chickenpox (to which it is not related).

You may remember news headlines back in 2003 regarding an outbreak of monkey pox virus in the U.S. midwest, among owners of pet prairie dogs.

What this demonstrates is that very tiny micro-particles of silver, known as nanosilver, are even effective against exotic viruses such as those coming from animals! If that doesn’t put you in mind of the recent “Swine Flu” scare, in which the infectious agent was shown to be a hybrid of swine, bird and human viral parts, I don’t know what will.

Silver Shows Anti-Viral Efficacy Against Hepatitis B Virus

In a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Hong Kong, it was demonstrated in vitro (i.e., in the test tube) that very tiny silver particles have the ability to interact with viral DNA in such a way as to prevent replication, whether the virus was inside the host cells (i.e., inside human cells, where viruses would normally replicate) or outside the host cells.

This is especially important, because it implies that silver can not only prevent viruses from infecting cells, but can also stop cells that are already virally infected from spreading the infection.

According to this research abstract from the University of Hong Kong, the scientists examining the action of silver particles on the Hepatitis B virus “hypothesize that the direct interaction between these nanoparticles and HBV double-stranded DNA or viral particles is responsible for their antiviral mechanism.”

The scientists point out that this only demonstrates the effectiveness of very tiny silver particles against the HBV (i.e., hepatitis B virus), and not necessarily other viruses. Nevertheless, once again we have a study demonstrating conclusively that very tiny particles of silver have the ability to interfere with viruses, preventing them from interacting with human cells and causing infections.

According to a news article about this study, the study found that

“…ultra-tiny silver particles could reduce the extracellular DNA formation of HBVs by over 50 percent, and could check their intracellular RNA formation, too.

'Silver nano-particles have special properties such as larger active surface and porosity so that they can easily bind with small molecules,' China's XINHUA news agency quoted Lu as saying, referring to a hypothetical explanation they had put forward on the new antiviral mechanism.

'The finding provides a new direction for developing new anti-HBV drugs, with nano-particles used as drug carrier to enhance the antiviral efficacy while minimizing the undesirable side effects,' Lu told a press conference Monday.

The young researcher said there are currently only two kinds of drugs approved for treating chronic HBV infection, namely immunomodulators and nucleoside analogues. But their uses are affected by side effects and drug-resistant mutations.

Hepatitis B is one of the worst killers as it chronically infects over 400 million people worldwide, with certain developing countries and regions hit hardest.

Lu said silver nano-particles have an additional distinct advantage. It is unlikely that HBV can become resistant to silver nano-particles because the interaction is determined by the physiochemical properties of the tiny particles."

Silver’s Effectiveness Against Flu Viruses

Two highly respected researchers, Dr Eric Gordon, MD and Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, writing in the prestigious Townsend Letter for Doctors, believe silver is the answer to many forms of viral infections, including upper respiratory viral infections such as the flu.

They point out in their article titled A Promising Cure for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Pandemics, Including the Avian Flu: Has the Final Solution to the Coming Plagues Been Discovered? that, “the collective authoritative medical literature has documented efficacy of silver's virotoxicity against over 24 viruses.”

What’s more, the authors state that the 200-plus viral strains known to cause upper respiratory tract infections, including most flu viruses, will also most likely succumb to the powerful antiviral qualities of very small particles of “oligodynamic silver" (i.e., a medical reference to silver being extremely powerful even in small quantities).

In fact, the authors point out that silver is likely going to be the answer to any future global viral pandemic, stating “A broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that really works is needed to combat over 200 viruses that cause Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. Undoubtedly oligodynamic silver fits this bill...Emerging medical studies confirm the stellar, broad-spectrum virotoxic efficacy of oligodynamic silver both in vitro and in vivo.”

The Nano-Particle Difference: Good News and Bad News

As you’ve seen throughout this report, silver is without a doubt the single-greatest natural antiviral agent on the face of the earth. However, the size of the silver particles is one of the most important factors in the ability of silver to disable, or even decimate, such a broad spectrum of viruses.

Indeed, most of these studies have demonstrated one simple fact: the smaller the silver particles are, the better they work, with silver particles of 10 nanometers (nm) or less in size being the most effective against viruses.

The truly good news is that colloidal silver products containing silver particles of that size – known as micro-particle silver, or nanosilver, for short – are readily available in health food stores and through online vendors. However, the bad news is that these products are frequently very costly, due to the uniquely small characteristics of the silver particles they contain when compared to conventional brands of colloidal.

In fact, a tiny four-ounce bottle of true nanosilver can cost as much as $25 to $35 depending upon the brand, and the size and quality of the silver particles it contains.

The problem is this: four ounces is only about enough colloidal silver for three or four days worth of mild treatment for a single person -- not nearly enough should a serious viral assault strike home. After three or four days, you’d have to get another costly bottle, and perhaps another, and another, depending upon the size of your family and the number of people infected.

Meanwhile, everybody else will be making a mad dash to their nearest health food store for nanosilver, also. And within days, shelves will easily be stripped bare. So you might not be able to get enough nano-scale colloidal silver to do yourself and your family any good.

Big Pharma Threatens NanoSilver

What’s more, by the end of this year, commercial colloidal silver products containing silver nano-particles may not even be available for over-the-counter sale any longer.

That’s because, only a few short months ago a broad coalition of environmentalist groups being funded by major drug companies declared that nanosilver is a “threat to the environment” because it has the potential to kill microorganisms they claim could be “ecologically important.”

These drug company-funded environmental groups then petitioned the EPA to ban products containing nanosilver – specifically targeting numerous brands of colloidal silver – and demanding that the manufacturers either be able to prove that public use of their products won’t somehow harm “environmentally sensitive microbes” or have their products removed from store shelves.

When this was discovered, we were the very first to sound the alarm in the natural health community, and thousands of dedicated colloidal silver users rallied against the petition, swamping the EPA public comments systems with pro-nanosilver comments.

Unfortunately, the well-funded environmental groups used outright lies and dirty tricks to overwhelm the EPA public comments system with anti-nanosilver comments from their worldwide membership bases.

Interestingly enough, the drug companies involved behind the scenes in this campaign to force the EPA to ban nanosilver products are among some of the very same drug companies developing new vaccines and drugs against the various pandemics they claim are coming!

The bottom line is that by the end of the year the EPA plans to announce the decision regarding the petition to regulate nanosilver products – including nano-scale colloidal silver -- into oblivion. Depending upon which way their decision goes, you simply may not be able to obtain colloidal silver products containing the needed nano-scale silver particles at any price, anywhere.

Saving Lives

This is what I meant earlier, in the beginning of this report, when I stated I was holding back one key, potentially life-saving fact for last.

Having the means of nanosilver production at your fingertips puts you firmly in the driver’s seat, and gives your family a solid added layer of protection against infectious disease in this age of mutating pathogens and hybrid viral outbreaks in which we now live...

Be Ready to Take Care of Yourself and Your Family

In the event of another viral pandemic (and you’d better believe they have one planned), you really have only two choices: Depend upon the government, or be prepared to take care of yourself and your family.

In Mexico City, where the recent pandemic started, the government health care system basically collapsed overnight. In part this was because they simply weren’t prepared for such a rapid viral onslaught with so many casualties in such a short period of time, and in part this was because a lot of doctors simply packed their bags and left town after so many people started dying.

That’s why you saw numerous photos of Mexican policemen handing out surgical face masks to passing motorists. It was pretty much the only recourse the Mexican government had left, next to closing down the city’s businesses and public buildings.

Would it be any different if it happened here in the U.S.? My advice is this: Don’t wait to find out...


In Conclusion

I began this special report by stating, “The recent outbreak of the strange new so-called ‘Swine Flu’ has just about everybody in the natural health community asking the same two questions, i.e., What’s the single-most powerful all-natural anti-viral substance in existence, and where can I get some?”

Hopefully, this report has answered those two vital questions for you. Owning the means of nano-scale colloidal silver production is simply the #1 smartest thing you can do right now.

And being able to produce true nano-scale colloidal silver – quickly and easily, any time you need it, in the comfort and privacy of your own home – is without a doubt the single-most important ability you can have for the protection of yourself and your family, as well as your friends and loved ones.

The bottom line is that medical research clearly demonstrates the fact that very small nano-scale particles of silver are the single-most effective natural anti-viral substance on the face of the earth.

And considering the alternatives (i.e., ineffective Tamiflu and potentially dangerous vaccines), it may well be your only hope for achieving maximum personal and family protection in this age of strange and potentially deadly diseases in which we now live...

Waiting until the last minute is never a good choice, as you well know. The EPA has even been making noises about banning colloidal silver generators, too (see The Coming Ban on Colloidal Silver Generators). So there is simply no telling how long these wonderful little devices will still be legally available.

The big drug companies simply want no competition whatsoever for their dangerous vaccines and worthless anti-viral drugs. And without a doubt in my mind, colloidal silver represents the single-greatest threat to their multi-billion dollar annual monopoly on these drugs and vaccines. That’s why the powers that be are pulling out all stops in order to have access to nanosilver removed from the market.

I ran into this:

http://healthwyze.org/index.php/component/content/article/633-everything-about-colloidal-silver.html

just now.

I'm still wondering why you think you know everything there is to know about nanoslver, Crimethink. At one period in my life, I had some very strongly held opinions--that in my mind were the truth, and anyone who disagreed or differed had to be corrected--obsessively, compulsively, etc. Then I reached a point where I saw just how much energy it took to do that, and what good it did. There was not a good cost-benefit ratio there. The only thing I could really control was myself, so when I hear peoples' opinions that I think are pure equine scatology, I just grin to myself and feel rewarded that I don't believe such horse-puckey, and let them go their own way without comment. Saves me a lot of energy, and harms no one. In fact it helps me hold on to my friends, or people who could be my friends, and nobody thinks I'm an obnoxious know-it-all. What people believe is their right--even if they believe bullshit. I am strongly of the opinion that whatever you believe, even if it's all lies, is the truth for you--and only you can change it. For me, it is better to live well than to always 'be right'. So, I applaud your conviction that nanosilver has no effect on viruses. This conviction will be on trial, and if it turns out to be false, well, we shall see how you deal with that. I'm not even going to say "I told you so." I'm reserving judgment until the facts are conclusive, and I'm assuming everyone who tells me anything is lying to support some unspoken agenda they have.

Some Fortunate Facts about Ebola


Thursday, October 9th, 2014 by David Howden (http://mises.ca/posts/author/david_howden/) posted in Health Care (http://mises.ca/posts/category/health-care/).

With reporters of the Western World losing their heads over the outbreak of the Ebola virus, it’s helpful to put it in the context of other diseases.
This year roughly 8,000 West Africans have contracted the disease, mostly limited to just four countries (Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Guinea). Of these there are 3,866 confirmed deaths, for a mortality rate of a hair under 50%.
This might seem pretty serious, but as far as threats in West Africa, it’s really small potatoes.
Malaria is so common that in these countries that it is almost a rite of passage. Last year there were about 1 million cases reported in the four aforementioned countries. Of these around 15,000 people died. The mortality rate of 1.5% might not be high by Ebola standards, but in terms of gross numbers there is no comparison.
Ebola seems to be a big deal because it is not a virus that is present in general life. While malaria is a continual threat, outbreaks of Ebola happen only every so often. (There have been 14 since 2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ebola_outbreaks), though this most recent one of the largest.) These past outbreaks were also big news items at the time, and I doubt anyone remembers them any longer. Certainly the only memory of Ebola that I can remember is compliments of a Saturday Night Live skit (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=afe_1407293444&comments=1)in the late mid-1990s.
As for being infectious, Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids. Even the CDC admits (http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/t0728-ebola.html) that the potential for widespread infection is quite low since direct contact with someone infected with the disease is necessary.
Malaria, by contrast, is spread by a means mostly out of our control – mosquitoes. Cover up because you could be in trouble if you get bit with a mosquito that previously bit an infected person. By comparison, stopping the transmission of Ebola relies on clean hospital practices when dealing with patients, as well as sanitary disposal of infected corpses. (Incidentally, those rules aren’t unique to stymieing the spread of Ebola and apply to basically any infectious disease.)
Just like I can’t remember any of the other 14 outbreaks of Ebola these past 14 years, I’m sure this one will fade away from my memory. More likely it is promoted by news agencies looking for a story. Of course, if that were the case you’d wonder why people wouldn’t be more interested in the tens of millions who have contracted malaria over the past decade.

Perhaps we're not interested because the Africans are too stupid to create a civilization that can cure malaria, as we have?

There is no definitive research showing Colloidal Silver kills viruses. If you have some examples, please post them. Claims from "Dr. Rima," et. al., do not count. Fantasy claims "the DOD proved it!" also do not count.

Why are they seizing it? Because they can.

If you believe the Ebola outbreak is a "hoax," why do you care if the victims don't receive their "Nanosilver"?

So you are now an expert on colloidal silver and can go around saying it cannot stop viruses replicating when there is evidence that it can.

[Serpo]

If they let this colloidal silver land and it was given out to ebola suffers and it works then there goes their big disaster they want.

If this stuff dosnt work then why dont they let it land as its harmless as you cannot OD as they body excretes it rapidly.

They wont let it land because it will work on ebola and then the cat will be out of the bag.

I dont recommend making colloidal silver with wires in fighting viruses as there isnt enough small particles to be reliable , instead I use plates from this company in Canada ........


more expensive but if you want colloidal silver to fight ebola you need the particles less than 10 nm consistently.

The colloidal silver dosnt necessarily kill viruses but stops them replicating by interfering in that process but only if the silver sizes are very small and this company isnt producing ionic silver but true colloidal silver.

Study Shows Silver Nanoparticles Attach to HIV-1 virus Oct 14, 2005 http://cdn.phys.org/tmpl/v4/img/img-dot.gif (http://phys.org/editorials/) In the first-ever study of metal nanoparticles' interaction with HIV-1, silver nanoparticles of sizes 1-10nm attached to HIV-1 and prevented the virus from bonding to host cells. The study, published in the Journal of Nanotechnology, was a joint project between the University of Texas, Austin and Mexico Univeristy, Nuevo Leon.
http://phys.org/openx/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=301&campaignid=160&zoneid=64&loc=1&referer=http%3A%2F%2Fphys.org%2Fnews7264.html&cb=b7fb85e263

"Our article opens an important avenue for research," said Miguel Jose Yacaman, from University of Texas, Department of Engineering and one of the study's authors.
In this study, scientists mixed silver nanoparticles with three different capping agents: foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum albumin (BSA)."Not using a capping agent could result in the synthesis of big crystals instead of nanocrystals," explained Yacaman.
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed the silver nanoparticles in the foamy carbon matrix were joined together, but an ultrasonic bath in deionized water released a significant number of nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were of size 16.19 (+-8.69)nm and had the greatest variety of shapes, such as icosahedral, decahedral, and elongated.
"Because of the synthesis procedure, the foamy carbon-coated naoparticles are more likely to have broad shape distribution," said Yacaman. Scientists used the electron beam to release the remainder of the nanoparticles from the joined bundle.
For the PVP-coated silver nanoparticles, scientists used glycerine as a dissolving agent. These particles were of size 6.53 (+-2.41). In the third preparation, scientists used serum albumin, the most common protein in blood plasma. The sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen chemicals in BSA stabilized the nanoparticles, which were in the range of 3.12 (+-2.00) nm.
Scientists studied the absorption spectra of the different preparations to pinpoint their shapes. "Spherical nanoparticles absorbed in the blue region of the spectrum, for example," Yacaman said.
Also, the UV-Visible spectra graphs helped the group determine nanoparticle sizes. "The surface plasmon resonance peak wavelength increased with size," explained Yacaman.
Scientists tested, in vitro, each of three silver nanoparticle-preparations in HIV-1 cells. Yacaman and his colleagues incubated the samples at 37 C. After three hours and 24 hours, respectively, 0% of the cells were living.
The results showed that a silver nanoparticle concentration greater than 25 ug/mL worked more effectively at inhibiting HIV-1 cells. Plus, the foamy carbon was a slightly-better capping agent because of its free surface area. Size also played a role since none of the attached nanoparticles were greater than 10nm.
Scientists think the nanoparticles bonded through the gp120 glycoprotein knobs on HIV-1, using the sulfur residues on the knobs. The spacing between the knobs of ~22nm matched the center-to-center nanoparticle spacing.
Although this study shows silver nanoparticles may treat HIV-1, scientists need to research this relationship further. "We lack information regarding the long-term effects of metal nanoparticles," cautioned Yacaman. Scientists are forming a preventive cream for HIV-1, which they will test on humans.
Scientists are also studying other uses for silver nanoparticles. "We're testing against other viruses and the 'super bug (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus).' Our preliminary results indicate that silver nanoparticles can effectively attack other micro-organisms," Yacaman said.

While there's no argument that colloidal silver is the world’s most powerful natural antibacterial (http://colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com/2008/12/colloidal-silver-and-its-many.html) and antifungal (http://colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-study-proves-colloidal-silver.html) agent, the ability of colloidal silver (http://www.thesilveredge.com/) to protect against viral pathogens has, until recently, not been fully embraced by the medical community.
Fortunately, startling new medical research reveals that silver may well be your #1 defense against viruses as well. Here’s what the medical evidence demonstrates…




Safe, Natural, Highly Anti-Viral




In spite of the fact that it has not yet been fully embraced by the medical community as an anti-viral agent, nevertheless, safe, natural mineral silver, in a variety of forms, including colloidal silver, has nearly three decades worth of solid medical research behind it, demonstrating its powerful anti-viral qualities.
Indeed, newer clinical laboratory research demonstrates that silver is so powerfully effective against viruses, it even stops the deadly HIV (i.e., the AIDs virus) from infecting human cells. And older research dating back to the 1980’s demonstrates that silver can stop numerous types of viruses from replicating, simply by bonding to them.
In fact, silver altogether decimates many viruses, simply by being in close contact with them.




Tiny Nano-Particles are the Key








http://www.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/i/csvsf/1tinynano.jpg



Medical science has now demonstrated that tiny silver nano-particles are absolutely deadly against many forms of viral pathogens.





http://www.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/i/_.gifhttp://www.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/i/_.gif
The key, as you’ll discover throughout this report, is in the size of the silver particles.
They must be very small silver micro-particles – i.e., what is more commonly known as “nanosilver” – in order to exhibit such powerful anti-viral qualities.
In this special report, you’ll discover some of the most convincing medical evidence demonstrating that nano-scale sized silver particles – which is to say, very small particles of silver measured in nanometers (nm) – are the single-most effective all-natural anti-viral substances on the face of the earth.







Colloidal Silver to the Rescue




What’s more, you’ll come to understand why colloidal silver (http://www.thesilveredge.com/) – the popular nutritional supplement known as the world’s most powerful natural anti-bacterial (http://colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com/2008/12/colloidal-silver-and-its-many.html) and anti-fungal (http://colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-study-proves-colloidal-silver.html) agent – is very likely your #1 best bet for all-natural, non-drug protection against potentially deadly viral agents, too, as long as it contains tiny, nano-scale sized silver particles.
Finally, you’ll also learn the 7 critical steps you must take now in order to keep yourself and your family protected against viral infections of all kinds. And you’ll learn how to be fully prepared in case the global flu pandemic – or some other nasty mutant hybrid viral pathogen – rear its ugly head in your area.
But first, let’s start with the clear, factual growing body of medical evidence on behalf of the powerful antiviral qualities of safe, natural silver.




The Famous HIV Study




In June 2005, the prestigious journal Nanobiotechnology published a ten page study that rocked medical science.
The study was the result of seven scientists’ exploration into the virus inhibiting qualities of nanosilver – very tiny, invisible particles of silver measured in nanometers. (A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or one-ten thousandth of a hair’s breadth.)
What the study demonstrated is that these tiny nano-scale particles of silver were able to inhibit HIV-1 (i.e., the AIDS virus) from binding to host cells, in vitro.
What this means is that in the test tube, when the researchers placed the AIDS virus alongside human cells in a medium that would normally allow the virus to bind with the cell (and thus cause viral infection), the introduction of tiny nano-particles of silver into the medium prevented the binding from taking place.
In other words, the silver particles stopped the infection from taking place.
The study abstract reads as follows:

Abstract

“The interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules and microorganisms is an expanding field of research. Within this field, an area that has been largely unexplored is the interaction of metal nanoparticles with viruses.

In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with HIV-1, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1-10 nm attached to the virus.

The regular spatial arrangement of the attached nanoparticles, the center-to-center distance between nanoparticles, and the fact that the exposed sulfur-bearing residues of the glycoprotein knobs would be attractive sites for nanoparticle interaction suggest that silver nanoparticles interact with the HIV-1 virus via preferential binding to the gp120 glycoprotein knobs.

Due to this interaction, silver nanoparticles inhibit the virus from binding to host cells, as demonstrated in vitro.”
While silver’s well-known toxicity to a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens has been thoroughly documented in previous research by many leading research facilities, this study takes the previous research to a whole new level.
For the first time, the long-proven antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles were applied to a highly infectious form of virus with no known cure. And the interaction between the metallic particles, the virus and the cells were studied.
The scientists tested a variety of particle sizes. And they also tested the idea of coating the tiny silver particles with several different surface chemistries including a “foamy carbon matrix,” a polymer and a protein molecule. The goal was to determine if any of these substances would help stabilize the silver particles and aid the silver’s anticipated reaction with the virus.
What they discovered, however, is that only the ‘free surface’ silver nanoparticles in the range of 1 to 10 nanometers interacted with the HIV-1 cells.




Silver Nanoparticles Rule!




This basically means the silver needed no help from the other substances. In fact, anything added to the basic silver nanoparticle served only to prevent the metal’s interaction with the viral microorganism!
What’s more, according to the study, only the very smallest silver particles inactivated the virus’ ability to bond with the host cells. Larger particles did not.
Ultimately the study found that the tiny silver nanoparticles no larger than 10 nm were able to bond to the deadly viral microorganisms and prevented the virus from bonding with the host cell. No bonding to host cell, no viral infection!




Colloidal Silver Beats the Smallpox Virus




But HIV is not the only virus silver has been demonstrated to be effective against.
In a study published in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal back in September 1992, it was found that that several different preparations of colloidal silver showed amazing efficacy against the smallpox virus.
Two medical colloidal silver preparations were used, one called Collargol, and one called Protargol. The latter was apparently a diluted preparation.
The study showed a 700 times reduction in the concentration of viral particles when Protargol was applied, and a whopping 11,000 times reduction in viral particles when the more highly concentrated Collargol was applied.




Silver Inactivates Herpes Simplex Type I and II Viruses




Going back even further, a study conducted in 1972 at Department of Microbiology, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan demonstrated that the Herpes Simplex Virus types I and II were totally inactivated by low concentrations of silver nitrate, which is a more caustic, chemical form of silver.
According to the study, silver nitrate caused so much damage to the viruses, they simply could no longer cause infection.




EPA Approves Use of Colloidal Silver
Spray Disinfectant that Kills Viruses on Surfaces




Moving forward to recent years, even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now approved silver for certain antiviral purposes.
As reported by the Silver Institute (a group which keeps silver investors appraised of all of the new uses for silver in business and industry), the EPA has recently approved the use of a product called Axen30, a liquid spray disinfectant similar to colloidal silver, for use in child day-care centers, preschools, schools, gymnasiums and children's activity centers.
Axen30 is a dilute formula consisting of 30 ppm silver used as a spray disinfectant. But here's the interesting part:
The EPA-approved advertising claims for Axen30 include a 30-second kill time and a 24-hour residual kill time on standard indicator bacteria, a two-minute kill time on the resistant bacteria MRSE and VRE, a 10-minute kill time on fungi, a 30-second kill time on HIV Type I, and a 10-minute kill time on other viruses.
Now that’s amazing – a proven 30-second kill time against HIV (i.e., Human Immunodeficiency Virus, aka the AIDS virus), and a ten minute kill time against other viruses!




Silver Compound in Countertops Eliminates SARS Virus




One of the most feared viruses now being studied by scientists is the SARS coronavirus – a upper respiratory virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, leading to death in a large preponderance of cases.
It has been found that while SARS spreads through the usual routes, such as the airborne route caused by coughing and sneezing. But a large percentage of infections by this virus are caused when the virus simply lands on a countertop and sits there, awaiting someone to come by and touch that countertop, then touch the virus to their eyes, ears, nose or mouth.
Perstorp, a Swedish manufacturing company based in Italy, manufactures a special polymer from which countertops are made. What makes the Perstorp countertop unique is that extremely tiny nanosilver particles are impregnated into the polymer.
Upon human contact, the nanosilver-impregnated polymer begins emitting silver ions. This unique silver ion-emitting polymer was developed for use with products such as toilet seats, door knobs, and other common contact surfaces.
According to news reports, the compound was successfully tested by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control against SARS, which has a particular interest in public safety due to the numerous SARS virus outbreaks of the past few years in China.
Zhang Panhe, professor at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in China, recently stated, “We tested the compound against a four-hour, eight-hour, and 24-hour exposure period and found no surviving SARS virus upon 24 hours of exposure to the polymer...”
In other words, when the polymer was purposely contaminated by the SARS virus, it began killing the virus within four hours, and had killed all SARS viruses on the surface within 24 hours.
This special silver-impregnated polymer is now in use in many hospitals, laboratories and medical research facilities throughout China.
What’s more, many variants of silver-impregnated polymers are being used in similar medical-related facilities around the world, in order to help stop the spread of potentially deadly bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens.




Monkeypox Virus Inhibited by Silver Nanoparticles




Even some of the most exotic viruses have been demonstrated to be sensitive to silver.
According to a study published in volume 3, number 4, April 2008 edition of Nanoscale Research Letters, very small silver particles (10 nm in size) significantly inhibited the infectivity of the Monkeypox virus.
The study was conducted in conjunction with the Applied Biotechnology Branch, Human Effectiveness Directorate of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
The study’s authors concluded, “These results demonstrate that silver-based nanoparticles of approximately 10 nm inhibit Monkey Pox Virus infection in vitro, supporting their potential use as an anti-viral therapeutic.”
According to Wikipedia.com, monkey pox virus is usually transmitted to humans from rodents, pets, and primates through contact with the animal's blood or through a bite. Its symptoms can be difficult to distinguish clinically from smallpox (to which it is closely related) and chickenpox (to which it is not related).
You may remember news headlines back in 2003 regarding an outbreak of monkey pox virus in the U.S. midwest, among owners of pet prairie dogs.
What this demonstrates is that very tiny micro-particles of silver, known as nanosilver, are even effective against exotic viruses such as those coming from animals! If that doesn’t put you in mind of the recent “Swine Flu” scare, in which the infectious agent was shown to be a hybrid of swine, bird and human viral parts, I don’t know what will.




Silver Prevents Replication of Hepatitis B Virus




In a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Hong Kong, it was demonstrated in vitro (i.e., in the test tube) that very tiny silver particles have the ability to interact with viral DNA in such a way as to prevent replication, whether the virus was inside the host cells (i.e., inside human cells, where viruses would normally replicate) or outside the host cells.
This is especially important, because it implies that silver can not only prevent viruses from infecting cells, but can also stop cells that are already virally infected from spreading the infection.
According to a research abstract from the University of Hong Kong, the scientists examining the action of silver particles on the Hepatitis B virus “hypothesize that the direct interaction between these nanoparticles and HBV double-stranded DNA or viral particles is responsible for their antiviral mechanism.”
The scientists point out that this only demonstrates the effectiveness of very tiny silver particles against the HBV (i.e., hepatitis B virus), and not necessarily other viruses. Nevertheless, once again we have a study demonstrating conclusively that very tiny particles of silver have the ability to interfere with viruses, preventing them from interacting with human cells and causing infections.
According to a news article about this study, the researchers discovered that

“…ultra-tiny silver particles could reduce the extracellular DNA formation of HBVs by over 50 percent, and could check their intracellular RNA formation, too.

'Silver nano-particles have special properties such as larger active surface and porosity so that they can easily bind with small molecules,' China's XINHUA news agency quoted Lu as saying, referring to a hypothetical explanation they had put forward on the new antiviral mechanism.

'The finding provides a new direction for developing new anti-HBV drugs, with nano-particles used as drug carrier to enhance the antiviral efficacy while minimizing the undesirable side effects,' Lu told a press conference Monday.

The young researcher said there are currently only two kinds of drugs approved for treating chronic HBV infection, namely immunomodulators and nucleoside analogues. But their uses are affected by side effects and drug-resistant mutations.

Hepatitis B is one of the worst killers as it chronically infects over 400 million people worldwide, with certain developing countries and regions hit hardest.

Lu said silver nano-particles have an additional distinct advantage. It is unlikely that HBV can become resistant to silver nano-particles because the interaction is determined by the physiochemical properties of the tiny particles."




Is Colloidal Silver the “Final Solution” to the Coming Viral Plagues?




http://www.colloidalsilverkillsviruses.com/i/csvsf/finalsolution.jpgFinally, two highly respected researchers, Dr Eric Gordon, MD and Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, writing in the prestigious Townsend Letter for Doctors, believe colloidal silver is the answer to many forms of viral infections, including serious upper respiratory viral infections such as flu pandemics.
They point (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_273/ai_n16118925/) out in their article titled A Promising Cure for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Pandemics, Including the Avian Flu: Has the Final Solution to the Coming Plagues Been Discovered? that, “the collective authoritative medical literature has documented efficacy of silver's virotoxicity against over 24 viruses.”
What’s more, the authors state that the 200-plus viral strains known to cause upper respiratory tract infections, including most flu viruses, will also most likely succumb to the powerful antiviral qualities of very small particles of “oligodynamic silver" (i.e., a medical reference to silver being extremely powerful even in small quantities).
In fact, the authors point out that silver is likely going to be the answer to any future global viral pandemic, stating “A broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that really works is needed to combat over 200 viruses that cause Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. Undoubtedly oligodynamic silver fits this bill...Emerging medical studies confirm the stellar, broad-spectrum virotoxic efficacy of oligodynamic silver both in vitro and in vivo.”
Indeed, the authors state, not only has silver been demonstrated to decimate many of the viruses associated with deadly viral flu infections, but it has also been proven to decimate most of the well-known bacterial pathogens that cause serious secondary infections during a viral infection, including the following:


Streptococcus pneumonia
Corynebacterium diphtheriae
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzae
Bordetella pertussis
Mycobacterium (Tuberculosis)
Inflammatory conditions of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat
Spring Catarrh
Pneumococci
Pneumonia

It is these secondary bacterial infections that often kill the infected individual, once the flu virus has sufficiently weakened the body.
But colloidal silver’s powerful, broad-spectrum anti-pathogen qualities covers such a wide range of pathogens you can easily see why the report’s authors – both respected medical doctors – refer to it as “the Final Solution to the Coming Plagues.”

In spite of an FDA crackdown on companies touting colloidal silver as a Swine Flu preventive and remedy, a number of high-profile medical researchers and related experts have been recommending colloidal silver as a first-line of defense against the Swine Flu and other viral pandemics.

These include Dr Eric Gordon, MD, Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, DO, Major General Albert "Bert" N. Stubblebine III (former commanding general of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command), Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, Dr Rebecca Carley (the vaccine expert) and many others.
Even Pravda, the top newspaper in Russia, recently recommended colloidal silver for the Swine Flu, stating:

[Serpo]

“The best defense against swine flu, or any flu, is the age old remedy of colloidal silver. The metal silver in its colloidal state can be safely consumed and used in the body. Bacteria and viruses cannot develop resistance to colloidal silver. Silver disables a vital enzyme and mechanism in all bacteria and pathogens so that they cannot survive. It is good to take a few teaspoons of colloidal silver daily to maintain health. More colloidal silver should be taken if experiencing illness.”





Dr. Gordon Pedersen Recommends Colloidal Silver




Dr. Gordon Pedersen, Ph.D., an expert in toxicology and virology who writes for the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and is Director of the Institute of Alternative Medicine, has recently joined the ranks of those advocating for colloidal silver usage in the face of coming viral pandemics.
In his new article, “Swine Flu Influenza Type A/H1N1 Protection for Health Care Practitioners and Their Patients,” published in the Anti-Aging News Journal, he repeatedly recommends silver to stop not only the hybrid virus itself, but also the secondary bacterial infections that cause diseases such as pneumonia, which set in after the body has been weakened by the virus.
(As noted earlier, it is often the secondary bacterial infections that seriously disable or even kill the patient, rather than the virus itself which often only weakens the patient allowing other more opportunistic pathogens to move in and take hold.)
Here is a brief example of what Dr. Pedersen has to say about using Silver Sol (a colloidal silver solution) against the Swine Flu and other Influenza type A viruses, as well as the secondary infections that accompany them:
“Influenza viruses are the respiratory viruses of greatest public health importance, particularly Influenza A. Every year 36,000 people die from Influenza making it the 6th leading cause of death in America…
…Silver Sol provides proven prevention and treatment against viral and bacterial infections, while there is nothing else with such broad spectrum benefits. In addition, Silver Sol can be safely taken every day for prevention where it has been shown to provide protection against the very dangerous Bird flu H5N1…”




New Study Reviews The Antiviral Qualities of Colloidal Silver




A recent study (http://www.thesilveredge.com/pdf/Viral_Pathogens.pdf) published in the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, titled "Viral Pathogens and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome: Oligodynamic Ag1 for Direct Immune Intervention," further underscores the medical evidence for the powerful antiviral qualities of colloidal silver. As the study points out:

Medical literature shows that a variety of viruses have been successfully treated with silver-based drugs. However, ‘silver salts’ and/or inferior silver preparations lack the bio-availability, active silver content and safety needed to be effective.
State-of-the-art, electrolytically produced ‘oligodynamic’ Ag1, however, offers distinct advantages and versatility of use over older and cruder formulations. Possessing much smaller, subnanometer-sized particles, greater electrical potential and lower concentrations, it is more bio-available than other formulations.
Efficacy against the SARS-related coronavirus, for example, may be enhanced when nebulized Ag1 is inhaled. This should achieve swift reduction of viral loads, especially in the early stages. Moreover, there is no known toxicity for Oligodynamic Ag1 in humans. The only known mechanism of resistance also appears to play no role notwithstanding the mutability of the coronavirus. Therefore no functional barrier to the virotoxic effects of oligodynamic Ag1 may be expected regardless of the rapidity or variety of mutations.

What the study explains, in a nutshell, is that while silver-based preparations have long been known to have antiviral qualities, the most effective of them all are preparations that feature very small, subnanomenter-sized silver particles that are highly electrically charged. The study concludes that when you have silver particles that are both super-small and highly electrically charged, even rapidly mutating viral pathogens are susceptible to them!



And Even Another New Study Reveals The
Antiviral Qualities of Small Particles of Silver




In another recent study, this one published in the prestigious Journal of Nanobiotechnology, and titled, "Silver nanoparticles are broad-spectrum bactericidal and virucidal compounds," researchers from Winston-Salem State University, in Winston Salem, NC, reiterate the fact that very tiny particles of silver have been demonstrated to be highly antiviral. The researchers wrote:
"The efficacy of AgNPs (i.e, silver nanoparticles) against HIV-1 [i.e., the AIDS virus -- ED] has been reported by many laboratories including ours.
It has been shown that AgNPs have got anti-HIV-1 activity and can help the host immune system against HIV-1.
This has laid ground for the development of new, potent antiviral drugs capable of preventing HIV infection and controlling virus replication. Recently, it has been demonstrated that AgNPs function as broad-spectrum virucidal and bactericidal agents, and in addition, increase wound healing.
...Interactions between viral biomolecules and silver nanoparticles suggest that the use of nanosystems may contribute importantly for the enhancement of current prevention of infection and antiviral therapies.
Recently, it has been suggested that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) bind with external membrane of lipid enveloped virus to prevent the infection. Nevertheless, the interaction of AgNPs with viruses is a largely unexplored field. AgNPs has been studied particularly on HIV where it was demonstrated the mechanism of antiviral action of the nanoparticles as well as the inhibition the transmission of HIV-1 infection in human cervix organ culture.
This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of the biocidal mechanisms of action of silver Nanoparticles."

In short, clinical research studies such as this demonstrate that even the dreaded AIDS virus appears to be no match for tiny particles of silver. Researchers continue looking to find the best ways possible to deliver the tiny particles of silver to the body, for maximum effectiveness!



British Research Demonstrates Tiny Silver Particles Kill Stomach Viruses!




In one of the oddest stories (http://www.thesilveredge.com/silverdrug.shtml) of the last few years, it turns out that British researchers are also looking into the antiviral qualities of very small particles of silver. According to the British newspaper, The Telegraph, British scientists working in tandem with international drug-makers Janssen and Johnson & Johnson have discovered a way to incorporate tiny silver nanoparticles into intestinal bacteria, creating a new silver-based drug that can wipe out food poisoning viruses such as the dreaded rotavirus, and perhaps even flu and cold viruses as well.
The popular British newspaper states: “Scientists have discovered that they can attach tiny studs of silver onto the surface of otherwise harmless bacteria, giving them the ability to destroy viruses.
They have tested the silver-impregnated bacteria against norovirus, which causes winter vomiting outbreaks, and found that they leave the virus unable to cause infections. The researchers now believe the same technique could help to combat other viruses, including influenza and those responsible for causing the common cold.”
The news article goes on to state that in addition to fighting food-poisoning viruses such as the norovirus (now responsible for record numbers of potentially life-threatening food-poisoning cases worldwide) this strange new silver-based product could also be “incorporated into a nasal spray, water filters and hand washes to prevent viruses from being spread.”



The Nano-Particle Difference:
Good News and Bad News




As you’ve seen throughout this report, silver is without a doubt one of the single-greatest natural antiviral agents on the face of the earth. And its broad-spectrum antibacterial qualities are indisputable.
However, the size of the silver particles is one of the most important factors in the ability of silver to disable, or even decimate, such a broad spectrum of viruses.
Indeed, most of these studies have demonstrated one simple fact: the smaller the silver particles are, the better they work, with silver particles of 10 nanometers (nm) or less in size being the most effective against viruses.
The truly good news is that colloidal silver products containing silver particles of that size – known as micro-particle silver, or nanosilver, for short – are readily available in health food stores and through online vendors.
However, the bad news is that these products are frequently very costly, due to the uniquely small characteristics of the silver particles they contain when compared to conventional brands of colloidal.
In fact, a tiny four-ounce bottle of true nanosilver can cost as much as $25 to $35 depending upon the brand, and the size and quality of the silver particles it contains.
The problem is this: four ounces is only about enough colloidal silver for three or four days worth of treatment for a single person with a severe viral infection – not nearly enough should a serious viral assault strike home. After three or four days, you’d have to get another costly bottle, and perhaps another, and another, depending upon the size of your family and the number of people infected.
Meanwhile, in a pandemic situation, everybody else will be making a mad dash to their nearest health food store for nanosilver, also. And within days, shelves will easily be stripped bare. So even if you can afford it, you might not be able to get enough nano-scale colloidal silver to do yourself and your family any good.

I'll give the creator of this video credit for one thing: they call it "colloidal silver" instead of "nanosilver" ("Ebola - Try Colloidal Silver!").

[crimethink]

So you are now an expert on colloidal silver and can go around saying it cannot stop viruses replicating when there is evidence that it can.

I'm an expert at detecting bullshit. I'm telling you your "evidence" you are citing is bullshit. I'm completely open to some actual evidence that isn't bullshit. Can you provide it? Are you even able to discern the difference between evidence and opinion?

[crimethink]

I dont recommend making colloidal silver with wires in fighting viruses as there isnt enough small particles to be reliable , instead I use plates from this company in Canada ........


more expensive but if you want colloidal silver to fight ebola you need the particles less than 10 nm consistently.

More expensive? Of course it is! Isn't that the point of "nanosilver"? LOL

Good job! The fact they are forging documents to show support for anti-viral properties of colloidal silver, suggests there is none! People that do this is no different than pharmaceutical giants, that falsify trials or hide research they funded that showed their drug was dangerous!

Those who are putting forth this "evidence" would have us believe that this report is being "suppressed." It's nowhere to be found except on sites like "thesilveredge.com" or file servers like "speedy.sh."

They would have us believe no one in the scientific community would have cited it or commented on it, anywhere on Earth. "They're all on it, the Illuminati don't want you to have it, you better order now before you can't!"

The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance pathogen is an alarming concern in clinical practice. Many organisms such as MRSA, HIV-1, Hepatitis-B Virus, and Ampicillin resistant E.coli are difficult to treat. There is a need of a cheap broad-active agent that can be used against variety of pathogen. The AgNPs have been found to be effective against many viruses and bacterial species. The use of noble metals at nanosizes to treat many conditions is gaining importance. The recent development in nanotechnology has provided tremendous impetus in this direction due to its capacity of modulating metals into nanosizes and various shapes, which drastically changes the chemical, physical and optical properties and their use. The efficacy of AgNPs against HIV-1 has been reported by many laboratories including ours [19,26]. It has been shown that AgNPs have got anti-HIV-1 activity and can help the host immune system against HIV-1. This has laid ground for the development of new, potent antiviral drugs capable of preventing HIV infection and controlling virus replication. Recently, it has been demonstrated that AgNPs function as broad-spectrum virucidal and bactericidal agents, and in addition, increase wound healing. Nonetheless, conclusive safety has not been demonstrated extensively in animal models, and therefore, additional testing of AgNPs is needed before they can be used in clinical applications.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:


(http://twitter.com/mercola)






There are several types of silver products on the market. Some are healthy alternatives to antibiotics while others can be downright dangerous to your health.
Three Types of 'Colloidal' Silver – The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
According to a Commercial Product Report by Silver-Colloids.com,1 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn1) a site that provides detailed laboratory analyses of colloidal silver products, there are three distinctly different types of silver products on the market that are all labeled and sold as "colloidal" silver:


Ionic silver
Silver protein
True colloidal silver2 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn2)

This misrepresentation of colloidal silver by less scrupulous manufacturers has no doubt led to some of the more negative connotations to colloidal silver. When purchasing colloidal silver, it's very important to make sure you're getting true colloidal silver, because, as you will see, the other two varieties of silver may do far more harm than good.
Since there are health risks involved if you select the wrong formula, I recommend you use colloidal silver only under the guidance and supervision of a qualified alternative health practitioner, who can help you select a high-quality product.
Ionic silver solutions – Silver solutions are typically clear like water or have a slight yellow tint. The producers of ionic silver solutions will tell you that colloidal silver should look like clear water, but this is incorrect, so don't be fooled. The term colloidal means particles, not ions.
To determine whether a solution is ionic silver, add regular table salt (sodium chloride) to it. If silver ions are present, then the chloride ions will combine with the silver ions and create a white, cloudy appearance. For more detailed instructions on how to do this, please see the Silver Colloids website (http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html).
Ionic silver is not entirely without merit, but since ionic silver products contain such a low percentage of silver particles, these products will not be as effective as true colloidal silver, which has a much greater particle surface area3 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn3) relative to the total silver content.
Ionic silver is still a strong anti-microbial, and can be effectively used in situations where chloride is NOT present. When chloride is present – such as inside your body – then what little silver particle is present in the solution will survive to produce benefit, but again, not nearly as effectively as a true colloidal solution.
Please be aware that most all "colloidal silver" generators sold for home use produce ionic silver solutions, and not true colloidal silver.
Potential Danger – Low. If you take ionic silver products according to the manufacturer's recommended dosage, ionic silver will not cause argyria, a condition that causes your skin to turn blue-gray.
Silver protein – Silver protein products are the second most prevalent type of so-called colloidal silver products on the market. These products are a combination of metallic silver particles and a protein binder to keep the particles in suspension. One tip-off that it's a silver protein product is if it claims to have high concentrations of colloidal silver (typically in the range of 30 to 20,000 ppm).
Of the three types of colloidal silver, silver protein products have the lowest particle surface area for a given silver concentration, making the silver inaccessible for safe and effective absorption by your body. Because of this, you want to avoid all silver protein products.
To find out whether you have a silver protein product rather than a true silver colloid, look for these characteristics:


Foaming: When shaken, a silver protein product produces foam above the liquid that will persist for minutes after being shaken. This is probably the single most reliable indicator.
Concentration: Silver protein products tend to have very high concentration values, typically in the range of 30 to 20,000 ppm.
Color: The color ranges from light amber to almost black with an increasing concentration of silver.

Potential Danger – High. Due to the high concentration of large silver particles, silver protein products are known to cause argyria (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/12/meet-the-man-with-blue-skin.aspx), which turns your skin blue-gray color.
True colloidal silver – True colloidal silver products are the least prevalent type of colloidal silver on the market due to the high cost of production. In true colloidal silver, the majority of the silver content is in the form of silver particles. True colloids will typically contain between 50 and 80 percent particles, while the balance will be silver ions.
Because of the high concentration of silver particles, true silver colloids are never clear like water. True colloidal silver with a sufficient concentration of particles does not look like water because silver particles – even very small particles – block light from passing through, making the liquid appear darker.
Potential Danger – None. Due to the very low concentration of ionic silver and small particle size, true silver colloids do not cause argyria.
What Is Colloidal Silver Useful For?
Colloidal silver has been known as a remarkably effective natural antibiotic for centuries. But in past several decades, research has shown colloidal silver can even eradicate antibiotic-resistant microbes like MRSA,4 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn4) the Avian Influenza (bird flu), and Human Corona virus (SARS).
In the mid-1970s, Dr. Robert O. Becker at Syracuse Medical University began his groundbreaking research into colloidal silver. He later concluded:

"What we have done was rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, a fact which had actually been known for centuries… All of the organisms we tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant to all known antibiotics… In no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment apparent."
However, silver's innate anti-microbial effect was actually common knowledge among doctors some 60 years before Becker's time. In fact, in the early 1900s, Alfred Searle, founder of the global Searle Pharmaceutical Company, had already discovered that silver in its liquid colloidal form could kill even the most deadly of pathogens. In his book Colloids in Biology and Medicine, 1919, Searle wrote:

"Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results… it has the advantage of being rapidly fatal to microbes without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable. It protects rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanus or diphtheria toxin."
Unlike prescription antibiotic drugs, silver does not create resistance or immunity in pathogens killed by it.
Recent Research Espousing the Virtues of Colloidal Silver
Over the past few years, several new studies have demonstrated the fact that silver is one of the most effective agents in the battle against MRSA and other deadly antibiotic-resistant super pathogens, including the:


Brigham-Young Clinical Study – This study, published in the journal Current Science in 2006,5 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn5) found that a number of the antibiotic drugs which had previously been able to kill MDR (multiple drug-resistant) pathogens, such as MRSA, could be restored to full efficacy against the deadly pathogens, but only if a liquid silver solution similar to colloidal silver was used in conjunction with the drug.
Iranian Clinical Study – This study6 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn6) also found that silver increases the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs against staph infections. The researchers concluded:"The antibacterial activities of penicillin G, amoxicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, and vancomycin were increased in the presence of silver nano-particles (Ag-NPs) against both test strains. The highest enhancing effects were observed for vancomycin, amoxicillin, and penicillin G against S. aureus."

Taiwanese Clinical Study – Published in the journal Colloids Surface B Biointerfaces7 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn7) in 2007, this study demonstrated that colloidal silver, by itself, eradicates both MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, another deadly and extremely opportunistic superbug.
Czech Clinical Study – Likewise, this Czech study published in the prestigious Journal of Physical Chemistry B8 (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/07/new-guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver-supplements.aspx#_edn8) in 2006, also demonstrated that colloidal silver was a highly effective agent against MRSA:"…silver particles with a narrow size distribution with an average size of 25 nm, which showed high antimicrobial and bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including highly multi-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The study further demonstrated that very low concentrations of silver could be utilized to destroy MRSA, as long as the silver particles were very small, averaging 25 nm

Mega-dose vitamin C kills the Ebola virus Oct 2 (http://cairnsnews.org/2014/10/02/mega-dose-vitamin-c-kills-the-ebola-virus/)

Dr. Levy presentation to 35th Annual Cancer Convention pt(1/4) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e07P6rj2Xx8>
Why are the WHO and CDC promoting terror of ebola when vitamin C is a
cure for it
http://www.naturalhealth365.com/natural_cures/ebola-virus-thomas-levy-1095.html
The WHO and CDC know that ebola kills by depleting the body of all
vitamin C. So why are the WHO and the CDC not reassuring the world
that vitamin C cures ebola by resupplying what the body lost?
"The very first symptoms of ebola are exactly the same as scurvy,
which is caused by inadequate vitamin C. Though scurvy is seldom fatal
as a primary condition, scurvy also represents only a partial
deficiency of vitamin C, the body still has a LOT of vitamin C
compared to zero, which ebola causes. Absent ANY vitamin C, blood
vessels become very weak and start to lose blood, and platelets become
ineffective and unable to trigger clots. So death by ebola is caused
by massive internal bleeding and loss of blood, which can be stopped
simply by taking enormous doses of vitamin C until the immune system
succeeds in killing off the virus."
http://www.zengardner.com/alternative-info-potential-ebola-cure/
Why are the WHO and CDC not telling the world that vitamin C kills ALL viruses?
"To date, not a single virus has been tested that is not inactivated
(killed) by a large enough dose of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Many
other antioxidants have similar virucidal effects, but vitamin C
appears uniquely to be of greatest potency and clinical efficacy, as
its simple chemical structure allows for it to be disseminated
throughout the body with little restriction.
"As such, it is able to effectively address viral populations present
in both the intracellular and extracellular spaces. Other antioxidants
have been found to have higher ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity) values – measurements which are used to quantify the
antioxidant capacity of supplements (or foods). However, a virus can
never be incapacitated by a potent antioxidant if the chemical
structure of that antioxidant does not permit direct contact between
the virus and the antioxidant.
"Vitamin C is both very potent and optimally bioavailable in accessing
any viral infection."
People have been infected with ebola, specifically need vitamin C
because ebola removes all vitamin C from the body.

Most colloidal silver made at home is in fact ionic silver which is good for some stuff but has limitations.

It is made with thin wires and as the conductivity of the water increases during the making process the power stays the same and this then tends to create bigger particles and an inferior product and may not work on viruses as there are not enough particles under 10nm.A lot is wasted as its too big and not used by the body.

True colloidal silver is made with a stirrer and constant power so there is no overloading which creates bigger particles.

My favorite product is colloidal gold and I can make it myself .

What they seem to be saying is that ebola in the early stages has very similar characteristics to the symptoms of scurvy , which is a lack of vit C.

My step father was a health practitioner and he taught me a lot about health many years ago and these studies I still pursue today.He told me then that vitC is used up when attacking pathogens because in attacking and destroying it sacrifices itself in the battle.So vitC is used up and needed a lot more when a person is sick.

There are many varieties or types of vit C and the multi vit C includes bioflavonoids
