Medical Journal Report Excerpt from the Journal of Longevity - Vol.4 / No. 10 Once colloidal silver comes into contact with a one-celled microbe (a germ), it inhibits the cells ability to assimilate oxygen; consequently, it literally suffocates. Since germs cannot build a resistance to the action of silver, there are no known disease causing organisms that can live in the presence of colloidal silver. Just as we would die within a few minutes if our lungs were suddenly incapacitated, a microbe cannot live without proper oxygen.It suffocates and dies. More importantly, it does not damage human enzymes or alter the body's chemistry. Recent studies performed at the UCLA School of Medicine Center for Health Sciences confirmed that colloidal silver kills harmful bacterial, viral, and fungal organisms just minutes after contact. Taking a solution in colloidal form might seem strange, but many of our bodily fluids are in colloidal state. For example, oxygen and nutrients from food are minute particles suspended in blood, flowing through our blood vessels to deliver the much-needed oxygen and nourishment to every tissue and organ in the body. All living matter resides in a colloidal state and the body easily deals with substances in this state. Most prescription medications are manufactured in a crystalline state and first must be converted by the body into a colloidal state before they can be used. Prepared as a colloidal,
silver is potent against all types of infectious organisms. Its
reputation was established many years before antibiotics became
the wonder drug, and was a staple in doctors' medicine chests.
By 1918, the British Medical Journals had published two different
articles stating colloidal silver's powerful effect on bacterial
and viral infections (Duarte 1998). Despite its outstanding record
in fighting all kinds of diseases it was extremely expensive to
manufacture. In the 1930's the cost per once was approximately
$100. Today, that figure translates to over $1,000 for just one
ounce. Once pharmaceutical firms began manufacturing chemical
drugs at a much lower cost, colloidal silver faded from the scene.
By the 1940's, antibiotics became the new miracle drug and despite
silver's health benefits and safe reputation it was all but forgotten.
