There is a great deal of information
available on the web concerning the "pre-FDA" uses
of silver by practicing medical doctors. While
it is certainly true that silver was considered
a powerful medicine before the advent of antibiotics,
this article endevours to focus on the present
day medical applications of silver, and current
news regarding developments. The sections below
delve into the practing and research world of modern

not true!
Colloidal
Silver Has Mainstream Medicine Singing
the Blues
Tony M. IsaacsJanuary
16, 2008The recent widespread mainstream media
coverage of the "blue man" Paul Karason
and his rare skin condition known as Argyria
is the latest in a series of largely misleading
and sensationalized scare stories about the
dangers of colloidal silver turning a person´ skin
blue.
Although this latest story did not appear
to originate from mainstream medicine or
the FDA, there is little doubt that they
have welcomed it with open arms and have
been quick to trot out "medical experts" and
past FDA warnings to help "sing the
blues" about colloidal silver. The
truth is that mainstream medicine has a
very good reason to cry long and loud about
colloidal silver, because it does represent
a very real danger – a danger to
the huge profits of the pharmaceutical
industry´s patented antibiotics. Source |

All Colloidal Silver Products, or Regulate Them

Dr. Robert O. Becker
- Researching Medical Doctor
Dr. Robert O. Becker, a researching orthopedic
medical doctor, was one of the early pioneers of
silver experimentation for medical applications.
Dr. Becker re-discovered the broad-spectrum antibacterial
properties of silver, and clinically demonstrated
both the tissue healing properties of silver ions
and the antimicrobial properties of silver. By
surgically inserting silver electrodes, and applying
a small amount of electrical current, Dr. Becker
proved his famous "current of injury" theory
and demonstrated the incredible healing properties
of silver by successfully mending infected non-union
bone fractures.
Some good old fashioned medical
Advice
Dr. Becker's in-vitro experimentation testing
silver ions against cancer cells and subsequent
observations documenting beneficial morphogenic
changes to living cells has paved the way to the
eventual "discovery" of advanced medical
technologies involving silver iontophoresis and
possibly even human regeneration.

The use and potential side effects of electrical parameters for possible
tumor control are discussed. The conversion of tumor cells to normal
cells by regenerating tissues is proposed as a possible alternate method.
Preliminary observations indicating that anodally generated silver ions
may have a similar action on human fibrosarcoma tumor cells in culture
are reported Source.
Dr. Becker Robert O. Quote, The Body Electric:
"...We were overjoyed to see that the silver
hadn't corroded and the wound looked great. Carefully
I took a bacterial culture and applied a new silver
nylon dressing...
" ..by then all of our bacterial cultures were sterile -- all five kinds
had been killed. The soft healing tissue, called granulation tissue, was spreading
out and covering the bone. In two weeks, the whole base of the wound, which had
over eight square inches of raw bone, was covered with this friendly pink carpet.
The skin was beginning to grow in, too, so we could forget about the grafts we
thought we'd need to do...
" By mid-1978 we'd successfully treated fourteen osteomyelitis patients
with the positive silver mesh wire..."

The
Rebellion of Germs Against Antibiotics This
is a good read:) |
Dr. Bart Flick of Argentum Medical
LLC, another early pioneer in silver medical research,
invented FDA approved Silverlon wound contact dressing
. Dr. Flick, as a practicing medical doctor, has
been involved with over 300 wound treatment cases
utilizing silver nylon as a wound dressing, with
conditions ranging from chemical burns, to post
operative wounds, to brown recluse spider bites,
and even diabetic ulcers.
Dr. Bart Flick Quote:
"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 a silver ion in solution or the
release of silver in an ionic moiety directly from
the surface of metalic silver when a bacterial
cell membrane comes in direct contact with the
metallic surface."
In October 1996, the FDA proposed
to ban the use of colloidal silver or silver
salts in over-the-counter products [11].
A Final Rule banning such use was issued
on August 17, 1999 and became effective
September 16th. The rule applies to any
nonprescription colloidal silver or silver
salt product claimed to be effective in
preventing or treating any disease. Quackwatch

According to the
National institute of Health
Scientific Evidence
Reviews of the scientific literature on colloidal silver products
have concluded that:
Silver has no known function in the body
Claims made about the effectiveness of colloidal silver products
for numerous diseases are unsupported scientifically
Colloidal silver products can have serious side effects
Laboratory analysis has shown that the amounts of silver in supplements
vary greatly, which can pose risks to the consumer.
BUT
Some
countries completely dissagree with
the FDA
The Environmental Protection Agency’s
Poison Control Center reports no toxicity
listing for Colloidal Silver; it is therefore
considered harmless in any concentration.
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 and compounds,
not colloidal silver.
Ask
your self this
Were all those doctors
who prescribed silver products and the
scientists who conducted the studies
liars, scammers and/or quacks? Or could
it be that mainstream medicine and its
advocates are attacking colloidal silver
because it really does represent a threat
to the hundreds of billions in profits

Consider
these interesting facts:
The Greeks used silver vessels to keep water and
other liquids fresh. The writings of Herodotus,
the Greek philosopher and historian, date the use
of silver to before the birth of Christ.
The Roman Empire stored wine in silver urns to prevent spoilage.
The use of silver is mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings.
In the Middle Ages, silverware protected the wealthy from the full brunt
of the plague.
Before the advent of modern germicides and antibiotics, it was known
that disease-causing pathogens could not survive in the presence of silver.
Consequently, silver was used in dishware, drinking vessels and eating
utensils.
In particular, the wealthy stored and ate their food from silver vessels
to keep bacteria from growing.
The Chinese emperors and their courts ate with silver chopsticks.
The Druids have left evidence of their use of silver.
Settlers in the Australian outback suspend silverware in their water
tanks to retard spoilage.
Pioneers trekking across the American West found that if they placed
silver or copper coins in their casks of drinking water, it kept the
water safe from bacteria, algae, etc.
All along the frontier, silver dollars were put in milk to keep it fresh.
Some of us remember our grandparents doing the same.
Silver leaf was used to combat infection in wounds sustained by troops
during World War I.
Prior to the introduction of antibiotics, Colloidal Silver was used widely
in hospitals and has been known as a bactericide for at least 1200 years.
In the early 1800s, doctors used silver sutures in surgical wounds with
very successful results.
In Ayurvedic medicine, silver is used in small amounts as a tonic, elixir
or rejuvenative agent for patients debilitated by age or disease.
In 1969, the Surgeon General
of the United States declared, "We
can close the book on infectious diseases
caused by bacteria." |

and treatment of cancer-related infections.
Dr. Raad Quote:
"...A novel antiseptic silver iontophoretic
catheter that produces silver ions over long periods
has also been developed. The ions are generated
by a low electrical current produced by a double
helical wire structure around the catheter subcutaneous
segment. This catheter has been shown to be efficacious
in vitro and in vivo in preventing catheter colonization.
This technology is remarkable because, unlike catheters
coated with antimicrobial agents, it offers long-term
protection and less potential for development of
resistant organisms..."

77030, USA.
A silver iontophoretic catheter (SIC) was developed
consisting of two electrically charged parallel
silver wires helically wrapped around the proximal
segment of a vascular catheter. In vitro and in
vivo activities of this catheter were compared
with those of an aseptic catheter coated with chlorhexidine
and silver sulfadiazine (CH/SS). The SIC demonstrated
broad-spectrum in vitro inhibitory activity against
bacteria and Candida albicans comparable to that
of the CH/SS-coated catheter. The durability of
activity was determined by incubating catheters
in serum at 37 degrees C for various time intervals.
After 30 days, the antimicrobial activity of the
SIC did not change significantly, while that of
the CH/SS-coated catheter was reduced to a suboptimal
level. In a rabbit model, the SIC was safe and
significantly more efficacious than the CH/SS-coated
catheter in preventing colonization with Staphylococcus
aureus (P < .05). The SIC has broad-spectrum
inhibitory activity of long durability and is highly
efficacious in preventing colonization in vivo.Abstract

resistant to vancomycin." We've become
complacent about diseases such as staph and
strep and should be reminded that before
antibiotics were available almost 80% of
hospital patients that contracted those diseases
died. The Muppets creator, Jim Henson, was
killed in 1990 by strep A, a very dangerous

The
Resurgence of Silver in Medicine
The return of silver to conventional medicine began in the 1970s. The
late Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of Washington University's Department of
Surgery, received a grant to develop better methods of treatment for
burn victims. Dr. Margraf, as the chief biochemist, worked with Dr. Moyer
and other surgeons to find an antiseptic strong enough, yet safe to use
over large areas of the body. Dr. Margraf investigated 22 antiseptic
compounds and found drawbacks in all of them.
Reviewing earlier medical literature, Dr. Margraf
found continual references to the use of silver.
However, since concentrated silver nitrate is both
corrosive and painful, he diluted the silver to
a .5 percent solution and found that it killed
invasive burn bacteria and permitted wounds to
heal. Importantly, resistant strains did not appear
Silver sulphadiazine (Silvadene, Marion Laboratories) is now used in
70 percent of burn centers in America. Discovered by Dr. Charles Fox
of Columbia University, sulphadiazine has also been successful in treating
cholera, malaria and syphilis. It also stops the herpes virus, which
is responsible for cold sores, shingles and worse.
Because of the research showing colloidal silver's
superior performance in fighting microbes, it has
attracted the attention of leading scientists and
medical researchers throughout the world. Its benefits
are now stirring new interest as 50 prominent doctors
are currently researching the efficacy and applications
of colloidal silver in human health. As a result,
many interesting studies have emerged.
According to experts, no microorganism ever tested
has been able to stay alive for more than six minutes
when exposed directly to colloidal silver.
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 hundreds. Resistant strains fail to develop.
Moreover, silver is virtually 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."
Why do mainstream medicine apologists
attack colloidal silver, When so many of
their colleuges use it???
Prior to the advent of patentable and more profitable antibiotics,
medicines containing silver were the most widely prescribed infection
fighters by doctors and there were no fewer than 34 different approved
prescription and over the counter medications with silver particles. |

Quotes Regarding Colloidal Silver
"… in this eye-opening research, silver
is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine… perhaps,
it soon will be recognized as: OUR MIGHTIEST GERM
FIGHTER. For example, even the most powerful pharmaceutical
antibiotics are effective against only a small
number of microorganisms, and then only until drug-resistant
strains develop. Yet, research at Washington University
School of Medicine … has shown that silver
is bactericidal to nearly 650 different disease-causing
organisms, and that silver–resistant bacteria
strains do not develop." ---Science Digest
" It killed not only the HIV virus, but
every virus that was tested in the lab." ---U.C.L.A.

" When silver was present, the cancer cell
de-differentiated and the body was restored." Dr.
Gary Smith
"…major enhancement of both the rate
and competency of the healing process…the
germ-killing of silver has been known for some
time…the Soviets use silver ions to sterilize
recycled water aboard their space stations… It
kills even antibiotic strains, and also works on
fungus infections… It stimulates bone-forming
cells, cures the most common stubborn infections
of all kinds of bacteria, and stimulates healing
in the skin and other soft tissues." Robert

Henry Crooks
"…the colloidal metals… are remarkable

Dr. Hirschberg, John Hopkins Hospital
"To primitive life forms…silver is
as toxic as the most powerful chemical disinfectants
and this, coupled with its relative harmlessness
to animate life (i.e. mammals), gives it great
potential as a disinfectant." N.R. Thompson – Runcorn
Health Laboratory in England
According to reports from the Army Medical
records, (from the 1918 Spanish Flu, H1N1
epidemic) 24% of the people died from the
virus and 76% died form a secondary bacterial
infection that produced pneumonia in the
lungs. There is a high probability that the
swine flu will have similar death rates,
and if this is the case, then preventing
and treating the secondary bacterial infection
will be as important if not more important. Source |

Some researchers,
such as Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, A.M.,
M.D. of Johns Hopkins, believe
that the potential of colloidal silver is just
beginning to be discovered. Unlike antibiotics,
which are specific only to bacteria, Colloidal
Silver disables certain enzymes needed by anaerobic
bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungus resulting
in the destruction of these enzymes. Further
indication is that these bacteria cannot develop
a resistance to silver, as they do with antibiotics,
because silver attacks their food source, rather
than them directly
Insofar as scientific
studies, last year it was reported
that researchers in Hungary found specific
silver receptors on human tissue - an indication
that silver plays an important role in human
health. A joint study between the University
of Texas and Mexico University published in
the Journal of Nanotechnology which showed
that silver nanoparticles of sizes 1-10nm attached
to HIV-1 and prevented the virus from bonding
to host cells.
A study conducted
by the Department of Microbiology at Kyungpook
National University in Daegu,
Korea, and published in the prestigious Journal
of Microbiology and Biotechnology, found that
nano-silver was comparable in effectiveness
to Amphotericin B, one of the most powerful
prescription antifungal drugs known to man,
which is often used intravenously to cure serious
systemic fungal infections, and was found to
be superior to the well-known anti-fungal drug
fluconazole (popularly known as Diflucan).
And then there is
the recently completed study conducted by researchers from
the Washington University School of Medicine
and the University of Akron, Ohio, and presented
at the 105th International Conference of the
American Thoracic Society, where researchers
infected a group of mice with the bacteria
Pseudomona aeroginosa, a common cause of bacterial
pneumonia in humans, especially those on ventilators,
those with cystic fibrosis or those with compromised
immune systems. All the mice which inhaled
aerosolized nanoparticles known as silver silver
carbene complexes (SCCs), had significantly
lower concentrations of bacteria in their lungs
than mice inhaling placebo nanoparticles. Most
significantly, none of the mice in the SCC
group died, while all the mice in the control
group did.

" No known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of even minute
