when the dairymen found out what colloidal silver could do....

Colloidal silver is rapidly being adopted into several areas of
agriculture. In a news release from Orem Utah, we read: "Mastitis has
been curable for quite some time using antibiotics. The only problem
was that during the cure, the cows often went off feed, sometimes
suffering from a high fever, and their milk had to be thrown away. Not
long ago, some dairy farmers in Wisconsin tried a new product
(colloidal silver) that has had some astonishing results. Not only do
the cows not go off feed when administered this product, their udders
don't swell and they don't get high the fevers usually associated with
mastitis. And the best part is that the milk doesn't have to be thrown
away during treatment as with antibiotics."

In fact, when the dairymen found out what colloidal silver could do
without any side effects a large segment of the dairy industry soon
began wading the cows through pools of colloidal silver to and from
each milking to cure the serious problem of hoof wart, changing the
water daily and then began putting colloidal silver into all the
drinking water. One dairyman called me wanting equipment to produce
33,000 gallons of colloidal silver a day! Farmers take better care of
their livestock than they do their families.

Note:
The FDA states silver is not proven safe and does not works.

HOWEVER

The chinese have made Conval PAg-40TM, a silver-bearing antibiotic
certified by the Science and Technology Ministry of China as a
"National Key New Product."

Oh, a press release.  From an unnamed source.  Wow, I know I am so
convinced by this.

There's a big difference from applying silver topically and taking it
internally.

Quite a reasonable attitude towards the quacks who want us to swallow
the stuff.  Not to mention the nitwits who constantly parrot the
blather about how colloidal silver "kills over 650 different types of
microorganisms" and how "bacteria cannot become resistant to silver."
(That last claim is complete bullshit; it's in the literature.)

Oh wow, Davey, is that like a "press release" you just issued?

Would you like to NAME your "unnamed source" on this?

If it's "in the literature", could you at least give us title, author,
copyright date, publisher, page number... anything?!

Oh nevermind, "I know I am so convinced by this",

You missed the point dork.

Colloidal silver is a good, natural antibacterial/antibiotic that does
not have the side effects of allopathic preparations...

My housemate is currently making it. I intend to experiment with it for
topical use in an acne control cream.

No, it has different side effects.  But it has them.

However, the proponents seem incapable of distinguishing between the
use of silver topically vs taking it internally.

Argyria only occurs if you are stupid enough to mis-use it.
It's best used ONLY when you are ill and not as a routine supplement.
Colloidal silver nasal sprays seem to be linked to this problem
more than any other form. I don't see how using it daily this way can
possibly be of any benefit. :-P

> However, the proponents seem incapable of distinguishing between the

See above.
Granted, topical use is safer, but judicious internal use DURING ILLNESS
is also practical if caution is used.

AFAIK tho', it's not generally toxic like some antibiotics (such as
aminoglycocides) are. It also does not seem to do as much damage to
intestinal flora balance.

Anything, if mis-used, can mess with you.
The trick is to educate yourself and pay attention.

Even herbs, vitamins and basic necessities can be deadly if abused.

Water is a good example. ;-)

Of course, exactly how it's used correctly is a mystery, because
commercial colloidal silver products varied so widely in silver
content.  (Some of the manufacturers were economizing by not bothering
to include any actual silver in their products.)

>It's best used ONLY when you are ill and not as a routine supplement.

So you say.  But that's not what everyone says.  How do I know the
truth?

>Colloidal silver nasal sprays seem to be linked to this problem

Why not?  You're trying to kill cold viruses, strep, etc, that are
attempting to make their homes in your mucous membranes.  Seems
perfectly in keeping with the general approach to me.

I'm less concerned with "practical" and more concerned with
"effective."  I know of no clinical evidence for the latter, just a
bunch of testimonials.  I place little reliance on testimonials.

>AFAIK tho', it's not generally toxic like some antibiotics (such as

Then maybe it doesn't do anything at all.

All the more reason to make your own.
It's not exactly expensive.

Because chronic/regular use is linked to argyria.
Do you really want to look like an alien? ;-)
The silver/gray pigmentation is not reversable.

Who says I said I was an exception?
All I know is that it shortens the duration of illnesses if I use it.

Anecdotal, but at this point there are no controlled studies that I am
aware of, but I've not done any extensive googling to be sure.
I'm not all knowing and don't claim to be.

I go the other way.
Many "studies" are flawed and skewed.
Look what happened with Vioxx?

Sometimes, with non-drug company pushed items,
anecdotals are all you are going to get!

Try it and see if it works for you.

I'm convinced. ;-)

Be your own guinea pig, or be a slave to corporate greed.

Like I said, try it and see.
Generating your own costs pennies per gallon.
I've no idea where manufacturers get off charging what they do!

And there isn't any good research on taking colloidal silver

I'll skip taking it for now.

I know that.  That's why I see no reason to use colloidal siler at
all.  It can turn me gray even without my swallowing any.

What about it?  Vioxx works quite well as a painkiller -- it just has
those nasty cardiac side effects.  With silver, I don't even have any
studies telling me it works, never mind the side effects.

Nah.
You use fine silver and deionized water like you are supposed to and all
you will have is ionized silver in the mix.

All you need to measure it is an inexpensive TS meter that will give you
a PPM reading. That way you will  know the strength and how much to use.

It's okay! To each their own.
I've found that it does indeed shorten the duration of a head cold,
rather drastically if I catch it soon enough. I never use the stuff
unless I am ill, or headed in that direction.

Also makes a GREAT topical pimple or boil treatment.

Oh, and by the way, there HAVE been studies on colloidal silver.
Google is great:

It's less likely to turn  you gray if you swallow it, or use it
topically. For some reason (I'm not sure why) most cases of silver
pigment deposits in the skin are linked to nasal sprays.

And chronic, regular, long term use.
Which is not necessary...

THAT is a BLATANT LIE! It is NOT an ingredient in hydrocodone pills. It
is NOT approved as safe OR effective for ANY internal use.

It is used in topical solutions only. But has no proven benefit even

The FDA are aware of whats going on. Of course the pressure to have
disease free cattle will always outweigh any threats the FDA use.
To bad the financial incentive for humans is the exact opposite.

COLLOIDAL SILVER NOT APPROVED

FDA has received reports that products containing colloidal silver are
being promoted for use in the treatment of mastitis and other serious
disease conditions of dairy cattle, as well as for various conditions
of companion animals. For example, FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine
has received reports from the Agency's regional milk specialists and
State inspectors that colloidal silver products have been found on some
dairy farms. Also, recent articles in some farm newspapers and journals
promote the use of colloidal silver in treating mastitis and claim that
no milk discard is needed.

Bandaids?  I don't believe you.  It'll take more than your unsupported

Whoops, my mistake, sort of.  I see that Curad does have a line of

bandages, but I don't know whether they use silver or something else
(the packaging doesn't say).

ADVERSE REACTIONS
(Oral): Accumulation of silver in the body causes argyria, a
bluish-gray discoloration of the skin, which is untreatable. Other
effects include seizures and kidney damage.
(Topical): Topical use of silver nitrate for burns may cause
methemoglobinemia.
Exposure to high concentrations of silver, such as in an industrial
setting, leads to systemic toxicity.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
· Antibiotics: Colloidal silver can reduce the bioavailability of
antibiotics such as tetracycline and quinolone.
· Penicillamine: Colloidal silver can reduce the effectiveness of
drugs such as penicillamine by binding to the drug.

High levels of silver were found in the plasma, erythrocytes, and
cerebrospinal fluid. He remained in a vegetative state and died 5.5
months later despite extensive treatment. Researchers concluded that
the neurotoxicity and the resulting death was due to ingestion of
colloidal silver.

Feel free to explain to us how these countries/entities feel it is safe
to drink it on a DAILY basis.  Who is correct, the WHO or this
sloan-kettering crap?

Colloidal Silver and hydrogen peroxide, especially in combination,
exhibit significant microbial inactivation at concentrations that pose
no health risk according to the EEC, WHO and US EPA.  Several
countries, including Switzerland, Germany and Australia have given
approval for the use of colloidal silver and hydrogen peroxide as a
drinking water disinfectant.  The EEC and Israel Ministry of Health
have specifically approved the use of colloidal silver as a drinking
water disinfectant at an MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 80ppb
(Pedahzur, R et al, Water Sci Technol, 31(5-6), 1995). Widespread use
might result in potential for uptake of silver ions by humans, but
research suggests that: "risks are minimal under all likely
scenarios" (Final Report: Evaluation of the Efficacy of a New
Secondary Disinfectant Formulation Using Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver.
US EPA NNCER, Dec 3, 2001).

The USA EPA has declared that "silver does not cause adverse health
effects" and set a MCL at 100 ppb for all drinking water. Recently an

Are you claiming that the above site supports its use?

No I stated they are right OR the rest of the world is right.

if you want to check what CS/clay does with skin cancer here ya go.

Now, that is what I call a false appeal to authority! The rest of the
world? BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

How about leaving it at fact based science vs. imagination?

I read that. More male bovine extreta.

Looking for the cause of cancer is not a waste of time as claimed by
this site.

As for those who abandon surgery for removal of skin cancer, they do it
at their own peril. Skin cancer, unlike other forms, commonly recurs.
That is nothing new or shocking. The removal of a small lesion and
finding a new tumor at another site is not *recurrence* since skin
cancer is caused by excessive sun exposure. Thus, it can happen anywhere
you had a sunburn.

A family member, my former LT when I was a life guard, who has made
being a supervising life guard a >40 year part-time career has had
several lesions removed.

The site is MBE.

By "world" I mean The USA EPA has declared that "silver does not cause
adverse health effects" and set a MCL at 100 ppb for all drinking
water. Recently an
EU Drinking Water Standard proposed removing any upper limit for silver
in drinking water, following the WHO's Guidelines for Drinking Water
Quality, which states that: "it is not necessary to recommend any
health-based guidelines for silver as it is not hazardous to human
health"

100 parts per billion...well, with the fraud in the manufacture of many
of the colloidal silver products, I see that the only risk is to the
sucker...oops..sorry....consumer's pocket book.

BTW, do you realize that those standards refer to dissolved silver
compounds, not colloidal silver?

Apples and oranges.

They aren't. However, they are staffed by SmartPeople who can distill
many sources into a webpage discussing the lack of merits of consuming
silver.The page is provided as part of an overall patient education

Yes they are apples and oranges. They are talking about silver and
peroxide to purify the water. What compounds do you think they are
talking about?

They both are, genius.  The concentrations of silver in a typical
colloidal silver product are far higher than 100 ppb.  Not that
I'd expect you to put any actual thought into this.

So it's ok to drink 100 ppb ON A DAILY BASIS but not something stronger
to fight disease? Did you just make this up? Next try try posting a
source for your drivel.

"The dose makes the poison."  This has been known for centuries.  I
bet you're really into "detoxification" since most alties are.  Well,
silver is a toxin, and the body can eliminate it, but not very fast.
At 100 ppb in water (probably less), the body handles it.  At the
doses in colloidal silver, it doesn't.

We really don't know much but what we do know is not what you just
stated.

#

References (8) and ( 70) state that the estimated total dosage of
silver required to treat serious infections such as LYME disease is:
Approximately 18 to 90 milligrams of silver over the period of one
month.
#

The estimated accumulated dosage required to produce argyria is:
Approximately one to six grams of silver, depending on the reference
cited. Some references state as high as 50 grams.(1)(62)
# The estimated single dose lethal quantity of silver is: Approximately
ten grams of silver (Note: This estimate is for silver nitrate which is
much more toxic than colloidal silver)(56)

They may well indeed state that, but since I don't know what
references 8 & 70 are referencing, there's no way for me to evaluate
their evidence.  Could be "private communication" or commercial web
sites for all I know.

Colloidal Silver: Keeping Things in Perspective

   We are still in the process of checking the authenticity of the
above symptoms for extreme silver poisoning. It should be understood,
that it has likely been over 40 years since anyone has experienced
silver toxicity to this degree.

   However, the above data, if indeed accurate, gives us an
extraordinary amount of knowledge. We found one reference that claimed
that Argyria often first causes slight discoloration of the white of
the eye.

   * A recent poll taken from over 200 participants has clearly
demonstrated that even when used regularly for 2 - 5 years, no ill
effects are experienced from using colloidal silver.
   * An independent researcher analyzed silver elimination vs. silver
consumed, over a period of several months consuming roughly 2.34 mg of
colloidal silver daily. His results clearly demonstrated that even
larger amounts of colloidal silver used internally are WELL handled by
the body's elimination system. This study will can be viewed by
clicking following this link.
   * Another independent researcher, basing his study on a rabbit
experiment, concluded that it would take about 13 gallons of 10 ppm
colloidal silver to induce a toxic response, and this would have to be
taken at one sitting.

     In the event that for whatever reason, the body began to reach a
toxic level of silver intake, it is easy to catch the first signs and
thus avoid any serious effects, be they cosmetic or health oriented.

     There are several people through the years that have made brief
attempts to induce silver toxicity in their own body via properly made
isolated colloidal silver, and we have never heard of a successful
attempt, nor have we been able, in a DILIGENT search, to find one case
of Argyria related to isolated colloidal silver.

Except I didn't say anything about toxicity here; I was talking about
efficacy, an issue you have done nothing to report upon in your
response.

So it's ok to drink it on a DAILY basis but not at higher doses at
shorter periods of time to help fight disease/infection?

Have any proof for this idiotic drivel that you spew?
