Colloidal Silver

News Article written by Marvin Robey: A Safe and Simple Treatment for Aids

The Herald of Provo Utah, February 2, 1992, ran an article on Pg. D1, in which a member of the administrative staff of Brigham Young University by the name of Daryl Tichy has been successfully experimenting with colloidal silver in the treatment of AIDS, along with warts and parvo virus in a dog. "Tichy said he had the material [colloidal silver] tested at two different labs; results showed the solution killed a variety of pathogens, including the HIV virus." Tichy then states, "I don't have a doubt in my mind." He says he has not been able to obtain funds to continue his research.

This should not be a surprise, considering what other researchers have been telling us. There is much more evidence to support Tichy's conclusion. Extensive evidence points to the fact that colloidal silver destroys all types of virii including the AIDS virus and greatly enhances the immune system in general. Colloidal Silver supports the T-cells in their fight against foreign organisms in the blood. It virtually forms a second immune system, actually protecting and defending the T-cells, as well as doing their work for them. It is strongly suggested by research scientists such as Dr. Gary Smith and others that silver ions are essential to the immune system.

In "Use of Colloids in Health and Disease", author Dr. Henry Crooks says colloidal silver is highly anti-viral. In laboratory tests he found that "all fungus, virii, bacterium, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and other pathogenic organisms are killed in three or four minutes. In fact, there is no microbe known that is not killed by colloidal silver in six minutes or less in a dilution as little as five parts per million." Dr. Crooks tells us there are no serious side effects whatsoever from high concentrations. Research scientist Dr. Gary Smith reports that he has noticed a correlation between low silver levels, sickness and immune deficiency. He found people who have low silver levels tend to be frequently sick and to have innumerable colds, flu's, fevers, and other illnesses. The research of Dr. Gary Smith would seem to support the belief that colloidal silver is an entirely natural healing agent.

HIV and AIDS are a two sided medical condition. First is the HIV virus, which attacks the immune system. Second are the main outward effects, the conditions resulting from the weakened immune system. Research evidence shows that Colloidal Silver is a two edged sword. It attacks the HIV virus directly and effectively, and then forms virtually its own immune system to ward off the various health problems the immune system has not been able to handle.

Parasites are being recognised more and more as a cause of failing health. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D., author of "The Cure for All Cancers" and "The Cure for HIV and AIDS", tells us that neither cancer nor HIV can exist without parasites and that if we eliminate the parasites, the disease will be gone. Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4 says: "Parasites are also killed [by colloidal silver], as they have an egg-stage in their reproductive cycle, which is one celled and therefore killed in six minutes or less." In as much as there are many kinds of parasites, this may be inconclusive. However, tests have shown that mosquito larva are effectively killed by colloidal silver. It should be remembered that to rid oneself of parasites by killing the eggs or larvae means that one must continue the treatment until all of the adults die, probably of old age. More research is needed. But if the AIDS or Cancer and other conditions can be effectively treated with colloidal silver, then any effects on parasites is a free benefit.

In as much as AIDS is the result of a virtually destroyed immune system, it would be surprising to find that colloidal silver did not have a dramatic effect on AIDS. AIDS is a viral disease, and antibiotics seldom have any effect on any virus, but the colloidal silver ion is highly effective. The evidence strongly supports the theory that colloidal silver is highly effective against all strains of virus, curing even the common cold in one dose. Where many drugs on the market suppress certain symptoms of a cold, colloidal silver is said to kill off the virus that causes it to hang on. AIDS, like all other viral infections, is unaffected by antibiotics, which each kill off only a few strains of bacteria and none are effective against the virus, yeast's, or fungi. Yet, researchers are telling us that colloidal silver is highly effective against all of these.

One serious condition typical of AIDS is rapid ageing. Ageing is generally considered as due to a slowing down of the body's ability to replace worn out cells fast enough. This slowing down begins by the time of adulthood and continues into old age. In "Report: Colloidal Silver, Health Consciousness, Vol. 15, No. 4, it is stated that "Silver aids the developing foetus in growth, health, and eases the delivery and recovery." If colloidal silver aids the growth of a foetus so noticeably, will it reduce the ageing process? From the research of Dr. Becker, it would seem colloidal silver will produce the dedifferentiated cells necessary to prevent this slowdown of cell replacement. It is probable that the weakened immune system is incapable of producing the undifferentiated cells necessary to rebuild worn out cells. Colloidal silver produced the needed cells to make this possible. All of this is being discovered and rediscovered at the same time that disease bacterium are developing immunity to modern antibiotics.

Furthermore, immunity to the antibiotics seems to be developing all over the world, even in isolated areas. The medical profession is alarmed. Can silver save us? Many authorities think so!

 

COLLOIDAL SILVER VERSUS BACTERIA AND VIRUSES

As single celled creatures called bacteria use a common type enzyme or 'chemical lung" for their oxygen metabolism, the presence of colloidal silver cripples the enzyme, therefore causing the organism to suffocate. Any and all bacteria are therefore killed within the 6-minute time frame, without causing any adverse effect on the surrounding tissue cells. Dr Becker also states in his book: "Positive silver kills all types of bacteria". This is exiting, because no other single antibiotic works against all types of bacteria. Positive silver, however, offers several advantages over previous forms. There are no ions besides silver to burden tide tissues. It works against all types of bacteria and viruses, even killing antibiotic resistant strains as well as all fungal infections. "

To carry the fight to fungal infection, one must firstly understand fungal growths. A fungus is a series of single cells that have small tubes of the material from which the cell is made, which stretches between the cell walls.

Whether more linear in its spread and expand mode or, alternatively, more like a fabric in its reproductive mode, a fungus will still exhibit that characteristic of any one celled bacterium, that particular type of chemical lung, which is almost completely and permanently disabled by the presence of colloidal silver in the body, as the silver suffocates the organism.

 

HOW IT WORKS AGAINST VIRUSES

A single virus will invade a living cell within the body tissue. Then the insidious pathogen will take over the nucleus of the cell and alter it's production and reproduction mechanism to replicate the virus instead of the enzyme, hormone, or other chemical that the body would normally have produced for itself within that cell.

Later, the newly produced virus will be released from that cell and into the blood stream. However, another very interesting thing takes place. As the virus affects the cell for its own purposes, part of the response of that living cell is that it reverts back to a more primitive form of cell structure and chemistry. The oxygen metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung in the cell wall, reverts as well.

This more primitive form of enzyme is vulnerable to the effects of colloidal silver. The catalyst effect of the colloidal silver simply being in close proximity to the enzyme of this cell results in the enzyme becoming permanently disabled. It cannot function to bring oxygen into the cell, and the virus producing cell dies by suffocation.

 

COLLOlDAL SlLVER AND HIV

HlV is caused by a particular type of virus. This virus attacks and invades a single tissue cell and takes over the operation of the cell's reproductive mechanism. Part of the cells response to this viral attack is for the cell to revert back to a different primitive one celled type of enzyme or chemical lung, the kind that is crippled by the presence of colloidal silver, The cell then suffocates and dies and, as it is no longer useful to the body, it is flushed out.

The colloidal silver has killed the mutated cell, virus and all. C' Silver kills ALL viruses, precluding future mutations as it also kills the HIV virus-invaded cell within minutes. As a catalyst, colloidal silver is not affected in the reaction, and it continues to kill any other single celled pathogen that is in its presence.

 

COLLOIDAL SILVER AS A PREVENTATIVE SUBSTANCE

As a preventative, colloidal silver is unsurpassed. Sufficient colloidal silver taken daily precludes infection, viruses, disease, contagion outbreak and serious burn toxicity. The daily ingestion of colloidal silver is like having a second immune system. It lessens the load on the body's natural immune system, and effectively kills the many thousands of viruses and bacteria that are present throughout the body.

In addition, it lessens the toxicity due to the average amount of virus and bacterial activity that occurs naturally in the body. However, tests have shown that, due to the high absorption of silver into the small intestine, the "friendly bacteria in the large intestine are unaffected".

This "second immune system" acts parallel to, and independent of, the body's own first line of defence, which is a major advantage in warding off outbreaks of influenza or other germ, plaque or pestilence. By taking colloidal silver at the correct dose rate is to have protection that is unsurpassed against serious burn toxicity.

Severe burn cases, such as from a house fire or motor accident, will have a much greater survival rate than those who do not take colloidal silver before such a catastrophe. Often, people who survive such horrific injuries later die of complications that occur some days, even weeks after the injury is sustained.

This is because several of the body's systems become overloaded and cannot cope. Colloidal silver has proven to be extremely effective in helping the body's immune system and sustained in the fire or accident.

With reference to the healing powers of colloidal silver, an American surgeon, Dr William Stewart Halstedwrote in 1913, after referring to the age old practice of placing pure silver wire in and around wounds. "I know of nothing that could take its place, nor have I known anyone to abandon it who has thoroughly familiarised him or herself with the technique of its employment. We may have only scratched the surface of tale medical brilliance of silver. Already it is an amazing tool, as it stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most stubborn infections, and stimulates healing of skin tissue. "

SOME ESTABLISHED USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER Below is a list of diseases colloidal silver will successfully treat. This is a partial list, as there are over 650 in all. Acne- Aids - allergies - appendicitis - arthritis - athletes foot - bladder infection - blood parasites - blood poisoning- boils - burns - cancer - candida - chronic fatigue - colitis - conjunctivitis - cystitis - dandruff- dermatitis - diabetes - diphtheria - eczema - gastro-enteritis - gonorrhoea - hayfever- hepatitis - herpes - impetigo - indigestion - keratitus - leprosy - leukaemia - malaria - meningitis - neurasthenia - parasitic infection - pneumonia - prostate infection - pruritis ani - psoriasis - rheumatics - rhinitis - ring worm - scarlet fever - septic conditions - seborreah septicaemia - shingles - staph and streptococcal - ulcers - viruses - warts - yeast infections etc..

The above may be an impressive array of nasty viruses and diseases, but they are but a few that form a much larger group. Colloidal silver can also be applied directly to open wounds and sores to eliminate infection. It does not sting, burn or smart in any way. Other antiseptics sting when applied to a wound because they are killing the surrounding wall tissue cells, as well as attempting to kill the germs. Colloidal silver will not harm the surrounding cells or tissue. After washing the face thoroughly, colloidal silver may be used as the only medication or, in amount each day, the affliction will disappear. On open wounds, colloidal silver may be used as the only medication or, in conjunction with other medication. Just sprinkle the colloidal silver over the effected area and bandage. This application is also good for the removal of warts. 

 

INTERNAL USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER

Optimum digestion

Place 5ml of colloidal silver, or as determined by titration, into a beverage of your choice accompanying your meal. As the food is digested, the presence of colloidal silver will keep the food from putrefying in the digestive tract, while killing all germs ingested with the food. There will be no flatulence with this method.

Parasitic infections

By ingesting the correct quantities of colloidal silver, is to preclude parasitic diseases caused by the tiny worm like parasites that can burrow through particular organs. In all cases, these parasites reproduce by laying eggs.

These eggs have the same characteristics as do the oxygen metabolising enzyme of the single cells bacteria. These eggs are unable to hatch when in the presence of colloidal silver. and are subsequently destroyed and eliminated by the immune system.

Diarrhea diseases

A number of diseases such as cholera, canine parvovirus or other diseases where the pathogen resides in the large intestine are normally fatal, mostly due to the dehydration resulting from severe and prolonged diarrhoea and vomiting. The pathogen causing the problem is active in the large intestine, the one place where colloidal silver, when used in normal dose rates, will not penetrate.

However if one drinks four ounces of colloidal silver With three or four large glasses of water on an empty stomach, the colloidal silver will penetrate the large intestinal tract and will very quickly take care of the problem. Cholera has been cured in this way.

Healing crisis

This is a condition wherein the colloidal silver is killing the pathogens very quickly. The body's five eliminatory systems (kidneys, liver, skin, bowel, and lungs) become temporarily overloaded. This is especially true when overcoming HIV with colloidal silver. One may feel lethargic and dozy due to this rapid action. Continue the regimen, but drink up to four litres of water per day together with up to 6 grams of Vitamin C.  

UNDERSTANDING THE COLLOIDAL STATE

Most chemistry books have a chapter on the colloidal state as if it were a special case. Actually the colloidal state is the only state for all living things. Within water, the chemical elements of life occur in a flux of halves, or opposing electrical pairs always in motion and swapping these molecular halves in complete chemical reactions that are the process of growth and repair. In this flux of the body's fluids are the germ pathogens, whose own molecular pairs interact with those of the body as they strive to survive.

They are all parasites that attack and eat the body cells of the host, dumping their wastes into the surrounding tissues and blood stream. When in this fluid flux, there is an electrically charged ion or micro-particle of colloidal silver, it selects from among the tissue cells of the body only those disease causing pathogens and suffocates them, catalytically, simply by being there, then, unaffected, drifts on to repeat the process again and again.

The crystalline state is the condition of dry dead things. Most medications are in a crystalline state. The body must convert them to a colloidal state before they can be used. There is some expense to the body in time, energy and effectiveness. In the process there are molecular pieces left over that burden the body with their need to be eliminated. In the case of colloidal silver, nothing is led. Several decades of clinical use of Silver have been proven in the treatment of burns, and for eye, ear, nose, throat, vaginal, rectal and urinary tract infections. Silver has been prescribed in medicine as an aid to the brain, reproductive disorders in women and the circulatory system. It has been used as a remedy for mental imbalances, sleepwalking and anorexia nervosa.
