Liquid Colloidal Silver - Its Use and Benefits

Liquid Colloidal Silver can be a valuable weapon in your wellness arsenal. The right colloidal silver dosage can work wonders for a myriad of health issues due to bacteria and viruses. Let’s go over the many benefits of colloidal silver, and what it is affective and useful for.

What Is It?

The term refers to a suspension of microscopic particles (colloids) of a substance in liquid. The particles are not dissolved but rather suspended in a non-ionic form.

It is found in products such as Mesa Silver, or Nano Silver, is usually between 10 and 50 ppm (parts per million), and has demonstrated anti-bacterial effects at a very small colloidal silver dosage.

History of Liquid Colloidal Silver

This product has a long and interesting history. Silver has been used for centuries as a folk remedy for bacterial infection. Starting in 1880 when babies were born, silver nitrate drops were put in their eyes to prevent infections from passing through the birth canal.

Physicians widely used it before 1938 as an antibiotic, until the advent of sulfa drugs, and penicillin. It was made via electrolysis, which was expensive, and thus was replaced by drugs that could be made more cheaply, despite the benefits of colloidal silver.

The history of silver’s use as an antibacterial medicine goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks and Romans who used it on wounds to prevent infection, and stored water in it to prevent bacterial contamination.

The use of silver is even mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings! It is clear that from early human history its ability to kill bacteria was known. Silver coins, and cutlery were often placed in water or other liquids to keep it fresh and free from bacteria.

How Does it Work?

It is the silver in liquid colloidal silver that creates the antibacterial effects. It creates oxidation and denaturing of proteins in the bacteria. It creates oxygen in reacting with air or water, thus breaking down cell membranes of bacteria, until the bacteria cannot survive.

The advantage to using it is that the bacteria have no been able to develop resistance to the effects of silver. The correct colloidal silver dosage does not have to be large to be effective. It is effective on over 600 microorganisms, and even on viruses as well.

The ability to thwart bacteria through interference with its cellular metabolism means that the modern bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics can be killed by the use of silver. Thus benefits of colloidal silver are being rediscovered in modern medicine.

Quality

A high quality liquid colloidal silver product will be slightly yellow in color, and come in a dark glass bottle with a glass medicine dropper. An electro-chemical process makes the best form of colloidal silver, and the range in ppm (parts per million) can be 3-5 or up to 50 or more. It should not have to be refrigerated or shaken before use.

How its Used

This product is usually taken in liquid form and added to clean pure water in drops. It can then either be swallowed or held under the tongue for a while before swallowing to increase absorption. I would suggest adding the drops to about 4 ounces of water, per the colloidal silver dosage recommendations on the label.

It can also be used topically (on the skin) in varying concentrations, somewhat higher than if you are using it internally. It can be applied to cuts, abrasions, and open sores, and for other skin conditions like eczema, itches, bug bites, and even burns!

The benefits of colloidal silver require it to be used for several days in order to build the tissue levels up. After that point a maintenance dosage can be used to ensure that bacterial levels are kept in check. Long-term use of liquid colloidal silver does not seem to be toxic or to pose any health issues for normal people.

Pets can Benefit Too!

The benefits of colloidal silver will work for pets at the same dosage levels as humans, with the dosages adjusted to be proportionate for their weight.

Relevance to Antiaging

While it is not exactly an antiaging supplement, the right colloidal silver dosage taken on a regular basis, can help keep you free from bacterial and viral infection, which helps keep your immune system from being constantly stressed.

The many benefits of colloidal silver make this supplement a valuable and non-toxic tool in your wellness arsenal. My own experience with liquid colloidal silver has been very positive, from shortening colds, to clearing up stubborn infections.

Colloidal silver is not approved by the FDA to treat illness or cure disease. As with any over the counter product, you should use your best judgement as to it's safety and effectiveness.
