subject: The Silver Antibiotic [print this page] Around the world, for centuries, silver has been used as a natural antibiotic and wellness nutrient. In ancient Greece and Rome there are writings that attest to the fact that they used silver to keep them well. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine taught that silver supported the healing process as early as 400 years before Christ. During the middle ages the wealthy Europeans used silver utensils and containers to keep there food fresher for longer. Alexander's armies used silver lined water canisters when they fought Napoleon. In the American old west it was common practice to drop silver coins into drinking water barrels in order to help purify the water.
So, what exactly is colloidal silver? Colloidal silver is silver that has been eclectically charged and suspended into sterilized water. The silver particles have been broken down into the smallest possible size in order for the silver to be efficiently utilized by the cells in the body. Then the small particles are electronically charges in order to keep each particle suspended in the distilled water. This is what the colloidal process is referring to, the electronic charge to each silver particle. If the particle are not appropriately charged they will essentially just fall to the bottom of the solution and provide very little cellular benefit.

Up until the 1930s colloidal silver was the common choice for physicians to use for its natural antibiotic and antiviral qualities, but with the invention of pharmaceutical antibiotics the use of colloidal silver was essentially forgotten. Today, with the resurgence of natural medicines colloidal silver is making a huge comeback in popularity. Colloidal silver is known to kill most one cell organisms on contact. Most bacteria, viruses, and funguses are on cell organisms.
Colloidal silver is what I immediately turn to upon feeling sick. It is effective against all infections, colds, flu, food poisoning and many other illnesses. With many of the bacterial infection strains these days becoming antibiotic resistant colloidal silver is a great alternative. .NASA is even using silver in its water purification system for the space shuttle and international space station.
