Colloidal silver, a powerful anti-infective

Colloidal silver: anti-infective and antibacterial

Since ancient times, silver has been reputed to be active against microbes, against infectious diseases. From this, the custom was born to offer as a birth gift to a young mother a silver cup
The popular expression "to be born with a silver spoon in one's mouth" which qualifies a person's social rank is derived from this tradition…
This echoes the custom of pioneers who put silver coins in their leather water bags to purify their drinking water.
 
It is in its colloidal form that silver has the best bioavailability.
Maximum effectiveness is obtained at a concentration of 20 PPM (Parts Per Million, that is 1 millilitre per litre).
The microparticles of colloidal silver cross the barriers of the membranes surrounding bacterial cells and neutralise their toxicity.

The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action of colloidal silver acts on all elements of the oral cavity (gums, teeth, palate, tongue, throat).

In 1999, Dr R Leavitt clinically validated the antibacterial action of colloidal silver solutions whose effectiveness was thus proven on the following germs:

• Amoebas;
• Golden staphylococcus; salmonella;
• Intestinal bacteria (E coli); mucous membrane and digestive tract bacteria; pneumococcal bacteria and other streptococci.

Since Hippocrates who recommended silver powder, through Avicenna who praised silver poultices, or Paracelsus and his silver plates against ulcers, but also acupuncture which uses silver needles, history shows us the traditional anti-infective virtues of silver which is used today in American hospitals to fight legionellosis.

Should the family medicine cabinet not contain a spray or a bottle of colloidal silver?
