<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>A Few Facts About Colloidal Silver
First, a few words about the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA places severe restrictions on what can be said about colloidal silver in advertising and labeling. In fact, in spite of its medically documented 90-year history of safe and effective use, the FDA has ruled that it can only be described as a "mineral supplement".
In essence, the FDA has ruled that the American public no longer has the right to know what a powerful and medically proven infection fighting agent colloidal silver is. Chances are that the drug manufacturing companies and the medical establishment have a lot to do with these restrictions.
Colloidal silver is tasteless, odorless and won’t sting, even in babies’ eyes, and won’t upset the stomach. There are no known side effects whatsoever in animals or humans. It contains no free radicals, as the silver acts as a catalyst and is stabilized.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top align=justify>This is not a chemical compound containing silver, but pure (99.999 %) silver of a sub- microscopic (monatomic) atom, held in suspension, in pure distilled water, by the tiny electric charge on each atom.
It is absolutely non-toxic (except to one-celled plants and micro-organisms), and non-addictive.

Colloidal silver is a natural remedy for all infections even the non-apparent low grade, general body infections most people have.<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P> </O:P><O:P></O:P>
Microbes cannot develop resistance to colloidal silver as they can to other antibiotics.<O:P> </O:P><O:P></O:P>
Some people wonder why the FDA would allow such a powerful antibiotic to be sold over the counter without prescription. There are two reasons: the first is that colloidal silver predates 1938 so the FDA has stated that it may continue to be marketed (grand fathered). The second reason is that the FDA has no jurisdiction over a pure mineral element.<O:P> However, they have determined what can and cannot be said commercially about colloidal silver.</O:P>
The Association for Colloidal Research has reported that: “Medical Journal Reports and documented studies spanning 100 years, indicate no known side effects from oral or I.V. administration of properly manufactured colloidal silver in animal or human testing. There has never been a reported reaction with colloidal silver and any prescription medication…”<O:P> </O:P>
<O:P>
Herxheimer Effect
The only effect reported by some colloidal silver users is a phenomenon called the "Herxheimer effect", named after doctor Karl Herxheimer (who identified this phenomenon).
</O:P>Sometimes, when taking colloidal silver for the first time, some people may experience symptoms like a mild headache, cold, or the flu. The reason is that colloidal silver is so efficient at killing pathogens, that the body may not adequately dispose of the dead pathogens fast enough through the normal organs of elimination and it resorts to the secondary ones, the lungs, sinuses and skin.<O:P> </O:P>
The user may experience mild diarrhea, as the body tries to flush itself out. In that case, one merely needs to reduce the dose or completely abstain for a day or so. Once the body has been completely cleansed, these symptoms will not reappear.
Argyria
Argyria is the graying of the skin. Colloidal silver can be produced either chemically or electrically. Argyria is a result of ingesting high doses of CHEMICALLY produced colloidal silver. There has never been a case of Argyria caused by ELECTRICALLY produced colloidal silver.
Please be absolutely clear about this, electrically produced silver colloid DOES NOT cause Argyria. In fact, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have been taking ELECTRICALLY produced colloidal silver for decades. T<O:P>the concern is with silver salts, NOT colloidal silver.
Chemically Produced Colloidal Silver
Chemically produced colloidal silver causes Argyria. Colloidal silver was widely used in the early 1900's. Scientists at the time discovered that if they CHEMICALLY COMBINED the silver colloid with a protein, it would not only be better digested, they could produce it in greater concentration.
This led to silver nitrate and silver salts. Before the early 1900's there had never been any negative side effects with ingesting silver, so testing the toxicity was not a big concern. But before the toxicity was tested, doctors at the time had already begun to use it on their patients.
As we know now, silver nitrate and other silver salts were toxic in high doses. It caused Argyria, a cosmetic bluing or graying of the skin produced by a build-up of un-dissolved silver particles in the tissues.
Electrically Produced Colloidal Silver
Electrically produced colloidal silver is completely safe and non-toxic. There has never been a single case of argyria caused from electrically produced silver colloid. It has been consumed by humans for years without any negative side effects. IT IS SAFE, NON-TOXIC, AND EFFECTIVE.
<O:P><O:P><O:P><O:P>Tyndall Effect<O:P>
<O:P>A clear colloidal silver solution signifies that there is no agglomeration to form larger particles. Agglomeration means that some of the particles are starting to share electron rings and are no longer repelling each other. This, in turn, may render the colloidal silver less potent. The weaker the Tyndall Effect the more effective the colloidal silver.<O:P>
EPA and CDC Conclusion
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Poison Control Center reports no toxicity listing for Colloidal Silver; it is therefore considered harmless. Dr. Samuel Etris, a senior consultant at the Silver Institute, stated that there has never been any allergenic, toxic or carcinogenic reactions to colloidal silver. The U.S. Government's Center for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed that fact in 1995.
However, all of the silver salts are identified as toxic, although the only adverse effect noted is Argyria. Therefore, the concern is with silver salts NOT colloidal silver.
In the case of an improperly prepared silver colloid, even though produced by electrolysis, compounds may be produced such as silver oxide, silver chloride, silver nitrate, etc., which have been recorded as having side effects that are detrimental to health.
Using the proper solution, there are never any side effects and using true colloidal silver does no harm to the essential bacteria found in our intestinal tract.
Colloidal silver should not be used along with intravenous EDTA chelation, as silver is a metal and EDTA works by absorbing and removing metals from the blood. For this reason, the two work in opposition to each other.
Colloidal silver is non-toxic, non-addictive, and has no side effects. UNLESS you are allergic to silver (see red box below). The body develops no tolerance to colloidal silver and one cannot overdose.
Colloidal silver cannot cause harm to the liver, kidneys, or any other organ in the body.
Colloidal silver is odorless, harmless to eyes, contains no free radicals, is harmless to human enzymes and has no reaction with other medications. It improves digestion, aids in the regeneration of damaged cells and tissues, strengthens the immune system, and helps prevent colds, flu, and all other diseases caused by bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasites. Colloidal silver is the strongest, safest broad-spectrum antibiotic known today.
