What is Ionic
Colloidal Silver?
|
|
Silver ions are recognized by most experts to contain the most desirable qualities associated with
silver,
There is actually a lot of debate on the internet
about particulate vs ionic silver. Some colloidal silver manufacturers claim that only
"particulate" silver is
truecolloidal silver and as
such, always works best, while ionic silver is somehow its vastly inferior cousin.
Ionic Silver is another step forward
from Colloidal Silver.

Lab Study
Concludes: Ionic Silver is up to 10,000 times
more effective.

In reality, ionic silver solutions are not in the least bit
inferior to particulate silver solutions. In fact, recent studies have shown quite the
opposite.
As you'll see on this link, ionic silver solutions have
been demonstrated to be up to
10,000 times more effective against pathogensthan
particulate silver solutions.

Ionic Silver is another
step forward from Colloidal Silver.
|
|
The particle size is so small that nothing can be
observed under an electron microscope! Ionic silver is a solution consisting of water
andsingle atomsilver ions (dissolved silver) and containsno silver particles. Ionic
silverisconductive and the electrical conductivity is directly related to the ionic
concentration. The ions in solution remain dispersed due to mutual repulsion created by the
ionic charge.
When colloidal silver is stored over a period of time, the
particles tend to agglomerate (clog) and build even larger clusters... which then reduces the
amount amount of usefulsilver
ions, thereby reducing the silver's
effectiveness.

What Doctors
Say About Silver
|
|
According to experts, no microorganism ever tested
has been able to stay alive for more than six minutes when exposed directly to colloidal
silver!
Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked
with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery in the
1970s:"Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we
have."
Science Digest cites colloidal silver as "...a wonder of
modern medicine," and further states"Antibiotics kill
perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail
to develop.Moreover, silver is non-toxic. Colloidal
silver, used as an anti-microbial agent, will not create super bugs as antibiotics do."
Alfred Searle, founder of the giant Searle Pharmaceuticals
(now Monsanto) stated,"Applying colloidal silver to human
subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful
results.For internal administration ... it has the
advantage being rapidly fatal to pathogens without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable."
Further information indicates that Colloidal Silver does not cause harmful interactions with other
medications or topical treatments.
In laboratory tests with colloidal silver, bacteria,
viruses, and fungal organisms are killed within minutes of contact. Larry C. Ford, M.D. of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School
of Medicine, Centre For The Health Sciences reported in November 1, 1988, " I tested them (the
silver solutions) using standard anti-microbial tests for disinfectants. The silver solutions were
anti-bacterial for concentrations of 105 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."
Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD, noted biomedical
researcher from Syracuse University, and author of The Body Electric and Cross Currents,
recognized a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency is
responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system.“What we have done is rediscover the fact that
silver killed bacteria, which had been known for centuries.” In the process of his work,
Dr. Becker discovered that he had wiped out types of
bacteria across the board, even those that were resistant to
antibiotics." Regarding the innate ability of
metallic silver to control infection, Dr. Becker said: "all of the organisms that we tested
were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant
to all known antibiotics." On the safety of silver, he said,"in no case were any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment
apparent."
Dr. Bart Flickof Argentum Medical LLC, another early pioneer in silver medical research,
invented FDA approved Silverlon wound contact dressing."The antimicrobial activity of silver rests upon
the interaction of silver with the bacteria's cellular membrane. This interaction can occur
through the presence of asilver
ionin solution or the release of silver in an
ionic moiety directly from the surface of metallic silver when a bacterial cell membrane
comes in direct contact with the metallic surface."

Use of Colloids in
Health Disease
|
Dr. Henry Crooks, author of Use of Colloids in Health Disease,
found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and
absolutely non-toxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he
concluded,"I know of no microbe that is not killed in
laboratory experiments in six minutes."
Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom, of the Larolinska
Institute, Sweden, has successfully used silver as a component in his cancer treatments for
many years.
Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, A. M., M. D.
(John Hopkins) states, "Speaking generally, the colloidal metals are especially remarkable for
their beneficial action in infective states."
Dr. Richard L. Davies, executive director of the
Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries,
reports:"In four years we've described 87 important new
medical uses for silver.We're just beginning to see to
what extent silver can relieve suffering."
Peter Lindemann reports in his 1997
article,Colloidal Silver, A Closer
Look,that a study conducted in part by the Institute
of Microbiology in Rome, Italy and published inApplied
and Environmental Microbiology(Dec. 1992), stated that
"Pure electro-colloidal silver out- performed silver nitrate, silver chloride, and silver
sulfadiazine as a broad spectrum germicide. For all classes of bacteria, fungus, and mold
samples tested, pure electro-colloidal silver worked better, and at much lower concentrations.
They concluded thatany additives reduced the
effectiveness of the pure silver ion."
According to Dr. Evan of
Illinois, Kansas"We have had instant
success with Colloidal Silver and immune compromised patients. A few examples are: Pink eye (topical) totally resolved
in less than six hours; recurrent sinus infections (oral ingestion) resolved in eight days;
acute cuticle infections resolved twenty four hours. Another major area in which we have
improved our clinical results is in the area ofbowel detoxification and dysbiosis. The colloidal silver has provided excellent removal of
abnormal intestinal bacteria also it has proved to be a great adjunct to our Candida albicans,
Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome protocols.
Ionic silver contains much smaller particles of silver than plain old colloidal silver. The
idea is that it is absorbed into the bloodstream more readily.
Ionic-colloidal silver
has a higher
ionic
silver content, and a smaller percentage of (particulate) colloidal silver
content.
