Below is message copied from a newsgroup. Is Colloidal Silver in use in U.K.? I have never used it. Gopal Goenka Email: [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [log in to unmask] (Tim Seewald) Just having read about Mother Teresa's condition this morning I feel that I must offer the following information concerning the most-effective anti- biotic ever identified by science. The news story indicated that the Mother is being cared for at the Woodlands Nursing Home (in India?) and being cared for by Dr. S.K. Sen. If there is any possible way that you can convey this information to the doctor or forward this information to someone who can, it could mean the difference between life and death for the Mother. I have included the Colloidal Silver FAQ found at: http://hills.net/~sage/silver/2sage05.html Colloidal Silver if not immediately available can be simply made by following the directions at: http://www.portal.ca/~gekko/silverzap/ May the blessings be! Tim Seewald ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is Colloidal Silver? Colloidal Silver is a pure, all natural substance consisting of pure water and submicroscopic clusters of the mineral silver. Colloidal Silver is manufactured by a non- chemical process where the microscopic particles of silver are held in suspension by an electromagnetic charge placed on each particle. What does colloidal silver do? Colloidal Silver is a broad spectrum antibiotic. While most antibiotics are effective against about a half-dozen diseasecausing organisms (germs, bacteria, fungi, parasites and some viruses), silver is effective against over 650 organisms. Colloidal Silver is tasteless, non-toxic to living tissue and can be taken orally or applied externally. Is colloidal silver safe to take? The Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center reports no toxicity listing for Colloidal Silver considering it harmless in any concentration. Colloidal Silver is the safest and best all around natural antibiotic germ-fighter we have. What is colloidal silver effective against? Colloidal Silver, has been proven to be useful against many different infections and is non-toxic in concentrations of 3 - 5 ppm against all species of fungi, bacteria, protozoa, parasites and certain viruses. Based on laboratory tests,destructive bacteria, virus and fungus organisms are killed within minutes of contact. Larry C. Ford, M.D. of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, Center For The Health Sciences, reported in a letter dated November, 1988: "I tested them (the silver solutions) using standard antimicrobial tests for disinfectants. The silver solutions were anti-bacterial for concentrations of 10 organisms per ml. of Streptococcus, Pyogenes, Staphylococcus Aureus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, Gardnerella, Vaginalis, Salmonella Typhi, and other enteric pathogens, and fungicidal for Candida Albicans, Candida Globata, and M. Furfur". What is a micron? A micron is one millionth of a meter, in comparison a millimeter is one thousandths of a meter and a meter is approximately 39.37 inches long. What is a colloid? A colloid is a substance that consists of ultra-fine particles that do not dissolve but remain in suspension. These ultra-fine particles are larger than most molecules but so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Not all brands of Colloidal Silver are true colloids. In a true colloid of silver, the ideal size of the silver particles fall within the range of 0.005 - 0.015 microns in diameter. These particles are electrically charged to activate the germicidal quality of the silver and allow the silver particles to remain suspended in water. How does this colloidal silver generator make colloidal silver? This generator utilizes a electrolysis process which allows extremely fine silver particles to be suspended in solution by the tiny charge placed on the particles. This method replaces the need for any chemicals, stabilizers or proteins and the product can be called a true colloid of silver. Does particle size matter? Particle size is a crucial factor. Much of the efficiency of the colloidal solution depends on the actual size and uniformity of silver particles. Particles that are too large are less effective. The preferred particle size for optimum results and safety of use should be from 0.005 - 0.015 microns in diameter. What about the color of the final product? A excellant indicator of the quality of Colloidal Silver is the color. As the size of each silver particle gets larger, the color of the solution ranges from yellow to brown to red to gray and black. Colloids of silver that are produced using the proper electrolysis method are different color than the grind or chemically produced colloids, except in the case of some products that contain artificial food coloring to get the right color. The ideal form of Colloidal Silver is a clear to light yellow color, which in part has to do with using ozonated water in the production of the colloidal silver. It has been reported that using ozonated water will produce the smallest silver particles. Are the higher parts per million like 500 ppm more beneficial? In the range of 3 - 5 ppm (parts per million), colloidal silver has little effect on 'friendly' bacteria, while being highly useful against infections and eliminating various microbes, viruses and fungi. Colloidal Silver that is too concentrated (above 5 ppm ) may upset the delicate balance of the digestive tract by destroying significant amounts of friendly bacteria. What are some modern uses for Colloidal Silver? Colloidal Silver may be taken orally or put on a Band-Aid and applied directly to cuts, scrapes, open sores, warts or used as a rinse for acne, eczemas and other skin irritations. It may be gargled, dropped into eyes or ears, used vaginally, anally, atomized or inhaled into the nose or lungs. It is also believed effective against: Staphylococcus, B.Coli, Bladder, Infection, Colitis, Diarrhea, Ear Infection, Hemorrhoids, Impetigo, Lesions, Ophthalmology, Para-Typhoid, Ringworm, Scarlatina, Typhoid, Warts, Anthrax, Dysentery, Boils, Diptheria, Chronic, Cystitis, Tonsillitis, Enlarged Prostate, Rheumatism, Menier's Symptoms, Eczema, Candida Albicans, Septic Ulcers, Whopping Cough, Blind Boils, Peneumonia, Dermatitis, Eustachian Tubes, Influenza, Nasal Catarrh, Tuberculosis, Burns, Pyorrhoea, Intestinal Trouble, Shingles, Soft Sores, Sunburns, Streptococcus, Legionella, Polio Virus, Salmonella, Appendicitis, Rhinitis. Does colloidal silver have any effect on cancer cells? Dr. Gary Smith (a pioneer in cancer research) in an unpublished article writes that: Success depends on the amount of silver in the person's body and problems result from the lack of silver in the body. When silver was present, the cancer cells stopped their development and the body is basically restored. When silver levels are low or not-existent, the cancer growth continues to grow because the cells cannot reverse themselves. How does silver naturally get into the body One might ask, how do we get silver in our body in the first place? We get silver and all minerals in the body through the food we eat. How does silver get in the food? It gets in the food through living soil where living organisms in healthy soil, of which there are billions in a handful of dirt. These living organism break down the soil so plants are provided minerals in a form assimilable to the plant. By assimilating the plant nutrients the minerals are transferred in our digestive tract, where our bodies utilize the captured organic (chelated) minerals, through the blood stream to the various organs of our body. Hence, we get silver from plants. If we cannot assimilate silver for some reason or as the tissues age, we develop a silver deficiency and an impaired immune system leading to cancer in most cases. Does Colloidal Silver help in the fight against AIDS? Since in active AIDS, the suppressed immune system of the body is open to all kinds of diseases, colloidal silver is the perfect non-toxic drug to use for its wide spectrum antibiotic effect. A researcher at Brigham Young University sent colloidal silver to two different labs including UCLA Medical Center, which said, "It killed not only the HIV Virus (invitro), but every virus that was tested in the lab. According to the FDA rules, colloidal silver cannot be used for treating the HIV Virus, but it could be used as an antibiotic for all the acquired diseases of active AIDS. How much colloidal silver should a person take per day? Most adults take one teaspoon 3 times day for four to seven days, then cut down to about one-half teaspoon 2 times a day. Children or babies would use a proportionally smaller dose. Another way to determine dose is kinesiology or muscle testing. Optimum dose may require more or less colloidal silver. Are there any know side effects from using colloidal silver? There is no recorded side effect in medical literature from the use of colloidal silver. Additionally there has never been a recorded case of a drug interaction. It is non- addicting, the body does not build up a tolerance to it, and studies show that colloidal silver is not deposited under the skin like other compounds that cause gray skin. It is tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, non-stinging to the eyes, safe for pregnant and lactating women. If it's so great, people ask why they have never heard of colloidal silver before? Seventy years ago, colloidal silver was widely used. Colloidal silver retailed about $100.00 per ounce in the 1930's. Recent technology has brought the price down so that colloidal silver can now compete in the medical marketplace. Numerous articles in medical journals of colloidal silver can be found dating usually before 1940. New articles and data will soon be appearing as more doctors rediscover this safe and effective mineral solution. Do I still need to visit my family doctor if I use colloidal silver? Colloidal silver is a great product, but your health is important. When the situation calls for it, visit your family doctor. Is silver a mineral? No; regardless of it particle size, silver is a metal, unless chemically combined with other elements such as sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. How long has silver been used as a germ fighter? Silver is mentioned in the bible. Royalty carried water in silver vessels in the belief that this water would help them maintain their health. Before refrigeration a silver dollar was placed in containers of milk to maintain freshness. Silver was the primary antibiotic used by the wealthy before the advent of penicillin in 1938. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <end> -- Gopal Goenka Email: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
