What is Colloidal Silver?
  Colloidal silver appears to be one of Nature's miracles: It is a completely non-toxic substance, while at the same time has a huge spectrum of effectiveness in treating bacterial, viral, fungal and other forms of parasitic infection. It also appears that there are no pathogenic organisms that build up a resistance to it, and no side effects.  Because it is a colloid it is easily absorbed into the body, but can also be used externally with equally good results.

How is Colloidal Silver made?

   Colloidal Silver is a suspension of silver ions in water; these 'ions' are individual particles of silver, which have a positive charge, making them easily absorbable in the body. It is produced through the electrolysis of water using silver electrodes, where a current is passed from one silver electrode (the anode - positive) through the water to the other electrode (the cathode - negative). The process of the electricity passing through the water in this way causes a chemical reaction: Silver particles sinter off the anode and due to their electrical charge are held in suspension in the water - it looks as if the wire is smoking; at the same time oxygen (O₂) from the water (H₂O) combines with the silver of the anode to form silver oxide which appears as a thin grey sludge covering the wire electrode. On the cathode tiny bubbles start to form, and rise to the surface giving the impression that the wire is fizzing. These bubbles are hydrogen (H₂), which is released when the oxygen attaches to the anode.

A Little History:

   Prior to 1938, before antibiotics were discovered, silver was commonly used to treat infections, however it became increasingly expensive, due to costly production methods (or so the story goes) and cheaper antibiotics became the norm. There are references in both the British Medical Journal (May 12^th & December 15^th, 1917) and the Lancet (February 16^th, 1918) regarding colloidal silver's use internally (including intravenously) and externally.
   Colloidal silver started to become more commonly used again during the 1970's, after Washington University's Department of Surgery found that it was the only antiseptic strong enough to treat burn victims over large areas of their bodies, without drawbacks. Further, UCLA School of Medicine tested colloidal silver, finding it effective in killing 650 different types of bacteria, virus or fungi within minutes of contact.
   Today silver has its place in modern allopathic medicine; it is used to coat catheter tubes to prevent infections in the urethra. Silver nitrate (which is caustic) is used on warts, and silver in the form of silver sulphiazine (pharmaceutically known as Flamazine) is used as a burn treatment cream.
   In China and Japan there are more than half a million acupuncturists practicing using silver needles. NASA has put silver to use, in the water purification devices for its space crews. And most recently, silver ions are now being used as an anti-microbial treatment on sandals to prevent foot odors!
