Colloidal silver has been known to be very effective against a variety of different and potentially life threatening diseases. People are increasingly turning towards colloidal silver as an alternative treatment therapy when other treatments fail against these infections. Colloidal silver has been used for treating minor disorders like warts, corns and colds, and in some reported cases of more severe and life threatening flu, bacterial infection and wounds. Many recent therapies use colloidal silver or silver impregnated dressings to prevent infection . Colloidal silver is reported as an antiseptic, disinfectant and also a preventative microbial agent.
You can buy colloidal silver via internet websites, these normally will include a positive statement to the effect that the material is not to be used without professional medical advice and that no claims for its effectiveness or method of use are made. Why does there have to be this kind of statement? Now this is my own personal viewpoint and opinion:
1. Most authorities and legislative bodies, such as the FDA and the EU - now adopted in the UK - have ruled specifically that colloidal silver cannot be sold as a food supplement or medical treatment without the required regulatory clinical trials etc which are prohibitively expensive for all but large corporate companies
2. There does not seem to be any medical evidence to suggest that colloidal silver or silver products are not suitable for use on the body , (but see Argyria below)and indeed the NHS in the UK has spent over 23m on silver dressings and the Health Protection Agency has recommended silver coated catheters for internal use for urinary infections.
3. In spite of a large lobby to these authorities to take a less draconian stance or even to delay matters to allow for a fuller presentation of facts , the authorities took their decision. It would seem that there must have been some considerable persuasive pressure from other sources to make a decision against silver, otherwise surely these other voices would have been heeded - what was the urgency ? no one to my knowledge had been adversely affected by the use of silver to promote public concern and there certainly wasn't any media pressure to rush to a decision.
4. It would be difficult, if not impossible, for an existing big company to get a proprietary or protected position to market colloidal silver. It has been around for ages and nobody could hold exclusive rights to it. It is only when a unique formulation with clinically proved properties is tabled that proprietary rights are available - for example silver sulphurdiazine.
5. So irrespective of the effectiveness of this material it would be of little marketing value to a big company to invest in a non exclusive product - in fact in many cases it would be very much against the interests of any company that has an established position with other drugs and medications already supplying the market.
6. It would be very unlikey that any big corporate interest would sell or develop their own colloidal silver product if it was in direct competition with an existing drug. However it would seem likely that once safe, natural and relatively inexpensive colloidal silver is taken off the market by the EPA FDA and the EU bodies , then big corporate interests will patent products containing engineered colloidal silver or nano particles, and you will only be able to get therapeutic silver products by doctor's prescription.
7. So now it would appear that colloidal silver is not available as a marketed product through channels that have been in existence for years, even should you specifically wanted it and maybe already had effective results with it yourself and had made up your own mind that it was appropriate for you. In any event it would seem a madness to regulate in such a fashion.
8. That being said I can understand the need for regulation and control in medical markets , but to ignore the overwhelming reports on its efficacy when people die of MRSA,Ecoli and so on, and there are such strong reports of success with colloidal silver, does appear irresponsible to me; surely a concerned and thoughtful government would conduct their own independent trials?
9. And lastly with regards to the blue man and Argyria. As I understand it: in the case which caught the media attention, there are a couple of things which must give some cause for concern. This material was home-made, with no real controls on water quality, made to an unknown strength , taken at unknown dosages and intervals , over a long period of time , with no full analysis or biopsy that has been published that I know of etc etc. I have no doubt that the poor chap's blue , but if the case is to be so fully covered by media and inferences made in decision making , then surely any scientist worth his salt would do a little analysis to evaluate what the full story might be. Turning blue certainly doesn't seem to be as prevalent a condition as the myriad number of adverse reactions, side effects and in some cases deaths from approved drugs. It's probably as simple as saying ; take the colloidal silver when you are ill and need it and then stop! For example, no one in their right mind would continue taking penicillin for years at a time after they had recovered!
10. Just as a quick note , there have been many cases of people taking a single substance for long periods and having adverse effects . Aspirin would be a good example and I seem to remember a case where a man took considerable quantities of carrot juice over an extend period and he turned orange! You have to be sensible - take it when you are ill and stop it when you are better.
11. I would have thought , given the choice ( now removed ) between a possible recovery from let's say MRSA, when all other treatments are not working, but with the possibility that if you stupidly continued to take the material for several years that you might turn blue, that most people would jump at the chance for a cure and stop taking it when they are clear of infection.
I have many testimonials and reports from people who have taken colloidal silver who have found good effects when other medicines have outright failed. I personally will continue to take colloidal silver when I get an infection because in every case I have fully recovered in double quick time.
