How to Use Colloidal Silver

Since the days of ancient Babylon and Greece, silver has been used as a disinfectant. One of its more common uses is water purification, and you won't have to look any further than the world's airlines, or NASA, for proof of this. In fact, an ounce of colloidal silver will purify a gallon of water. Pathogens in food can be eliminated by soaking, or spraying, produce with a solution containing a cup of water, half a cup of vinegar, half a cup of colloidal silver, and two teaspoons of salt. Colloidal silver is also an effective treatment for plant pests. A five parts per million solution, in a plastic spray bottle, can be applied to the base, stem and leaves of plants, to keep them healthy while killing harmful organisms. Since colloidal silver is safe for consumption, spraying it on counter tops, and other surfaces, kills germs on contact without leaving a toxic residue.

Silver has a long history of topical use in hospital burn units. Over 70 percent of them use a silver-based creme, called Silvadene, to treat infections in burn victims. If you have a skin condition, it's likely that it will benefit from an application of colloidal silver. Cuts, abrasions, sores and wounds heal faster when five parts per million of colloidal silver, is sprayed or rubbed on. Insect bites and stings, rashes, pimples and moles also respond well to colloidal silver. If you spray it under your arms, it can even replace your deodorant by killing bacteria that cause body odor. While you're at it, get rid of your mouthwash. Colloidal silver can sweeten your breath without harmful ingredients.

In "The Body Electric," Dr. Robert Becker says that a poorly functioning immune system is caused by a silver deficiency. No wonder colloidal silver is so effective at helping our immune system fight disease. Many pathogens that resist conventional antibiotics, will respond to colloidal silver treatment. Inhaling colloidal silver through a nebulizer, is an effective way to fight the flu, and pneumonia, and it will even destroy anthrax spores. According to Dr. Marcial-Vega, four cubic centimeters of nebulized colloidal silver a day, is the recommended dosage for preventing anthrax infection. In an experiment at Temple University, a silver solution, of 1,000 parts per million, destroyed the aids virus in an hour. Many individuals have stopped the flu, and colds, in a day, by drinking 16 ounces of colloidal silver in the morning, and again in the evening. Eye and ear infections can also be reversed with colloidal silver, and I even used it to relieve food poisoning.
