The ancient Romans and Greeks found that liquids would stay fresher
longer if put in silver containers. Our own American pioneers found
that a silver dollar put in a jug of milk would delay spoilage. They
also found that if they would keep their silverware "hidden" in their
water barrel that the water would not go bad.
Some people wonder why the FDA would allow such a powerful antiobiotic
to be sold over the counter without a prescription. There are two
reasons: The first reason is that true colloidal silver is a Pre-1938
drug (by over fifty years) and so the FDA has stated that it may
continue to be marketed (grand fathered). The second reason is that
the FDA has no jurisdiction over a pure mineral element.
"What we have actually done was rediscover the fact that silver killed
bacteria, which had been known for centuries... when antibiotics were
discovered, clinical uses for silver as an antibiotic were discarded."
- Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D.
Silver is a very powerful natural antiobiotic. It has been used for
thousands of years in its less effective solid form but in more recent
decades it has been used in its' colloidal form...with no side
effects. It is a catalyst, disabling the particular enzyme that all
one-celled bacteria, fungii and virus, use for their oxygen metabolism
which means they suffocate or starve. Many others are destroyed
because the electric charge on the silver particles cause their
internal protoplast to collapse, and still others are rendered unable
to reproduce.
Using the proper solution there are never any side effects and using
true colloidal silver does no harm to the essential bacteria found in
our intestinal tract. While a person can overdose on virtually
anything, the chances of overdosing on colloidal silver is about the
same as overdosing on water. (If you drink too much you may pop and if
you swim in it you may drown.)
