http://www.silvermedicine.org/usingcolloidalsilver.html Extensive research conducted by Robert O. Becker ( a research medical doctor who wrote the book "The Body Electric" ) conclusively demonstrated several important facts: 1) silver electrodes placed at the site of a wound eliminate bacterial infections 100% and speed tissue repair and growth. 2) Most likely because of its charged state, ionic silver encourages the production of stem cells, or at the very least causes fibroblasts to alter their normal cellular morphology. http://www.molluscum.com/ArchiveMolluscum/NewWhySilver.htm http://silverfacts.netfirms.com/pages/davies.html During the treatment of many patients, Dr. Becker noted that a copious exudate appeared in the wound area accompanied by a constant decline in bacterial count. Microscopic examination showed the exudate to be composed of a large number of primitive cells resembling a variety of primitive bone marrow type cells. With the appearance of the exudate, a dramatic increase in healing rate by a factor of at least two was observed. Further examination revealed that a process of de-differentiation had occurred; the mammalian fibroblast cells had reverted to the primitive stem cells. With the silver-ion technique it was now possible to do open bone grafts. In the case of skin, grafts are not necessary because the silver ions eliminate the bacteria that would otherwise impede the cell-by-cell reconstruction of the original (26). Becker's procedure has now benefited hundreds of patients at Mountain Medical Specialties, Demorest, Georgia. With the silver ion treatment, the physician need only clean the wound, place a silver dressing on it and start an electric current flowing with a small battery. Then, show the patient how to take care of the wound and send the patient home. Once a week the patient comes in for check up and new dressings if necessary. Within a month the wound has healed and silver treatment may no longer be necessary. Within 3 to 6 months the darker skin begins to disappear, and when the darkness disappears, the location of the wound cannot be found (27). A. Bart Flick, MD, practicing medicine at Mountain Medical Specialties, Dernorest, Georgia, USA, uses silver ion therapy on cases of severe trauma. Loss of skin from hands and fingers presents a most difficult problem because the skin is thick and has a different sensory response from skin from other parts of the body. Thus skin grafted on hands and fingers from other parts of the body results in unsatisfactory function and is without normal sensation because nerves are not regenerated in grafted skin. However, the use of the silver technique results in the rapid regeneration of normal, full thickness, flexible skin of the type removed by the injury. The skin is regenerated in all of its complex tissue morphology even including a fingerprint. In process now is a scientific report on the spectacular regenerations resulting from this technique (28). De-differentiation: The de-differentiation Becker observed is the reversion of mature mammalian fibroblast cells to cells of an embryonic or primitive state. In this state, the cell is capable of normal cell division as well as subsequent re-differentiation into a mature cell of another type than its original. It was these primitive cells generated by the action of silver that were being rapidly absorbed into the regeneration of new tissue, doubling the rate of restoration. If the palm of a hand or the tip of a finger should be severely burned or injured and just left to heal, it just scars down and the result is a limitation of motion and limited sensation. Should a skin graft be used from some place on the body such as the sole of a foot the result will be a scarification around the edges of the graft and it will never-enervate (will not develop sensation essential to react to heat, cold, etc) and the edges will have abnormal sensation. However, if the wound is treated with electrically driven silver ions to eliminate any action by bacteria, the wound will heal in a period of a few weeks to full thickness and fully innervated skin consistent with the previous structure (26). Wounds requiring this procedure are typical of the cases treated by the Mountain Medical Center (27). -------------------------- A couple of years ago I cut the end of my finger off accidently. The cut was to the end of the bone of that finger, the entire end was gone. I kept it wet with CS for about a week, and the end grew back totally. I cannot even remember which finger it was now, and cannot tell since it healed with absolutely no scaring or lasting efffect. I even got back my ORIGINAL fingerprint, and the nerves work fine in it as well.
