Colloidal Silver - May Prevent Urinary Tract Infections naturally

Colloidal silver is a natural product that Carol Wilson, author of the Vulvodynia Treatment Guide, uses to prevent UTIs.

Carol has researched to find the highest quality Colloidal Silver available, and is pleased to introduce "Earthbound Products" Colloidal Silver.

 

What is Colloidal Silver? How do you take it?

Colloidal Silver is a liquid that can be taken orally or applied topically. It looks and tastes like water, but is just slightly thicker in consistency.

Colloidal silver is the results of an electromagnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from silver into a liquid such as distilled water. As tiny particles, the silver can more easily penetrate and travel through the body.

We are pleased to offer Earthbound Products Colloidal Silver what we believe to be the highest quality Colloidal Silver available. It is completely safe and non-toxic and it never expires.

One 16-oz bottle	1 UTI-Prevention: 1 Bottle Colloidal Silver Experience all the benefits of our Urinary Tract Infection Prevention formula in a one month supply.	Regular $39.95 Our price US $37.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dosage Instructions: Take about 1/2 ounze per evening, just before you go to bed. The manufacturer recommends using a glass or plastic shot glass, and filling it half full. Do not use a metal spoon.

Hold the colloidal silver under your tongue for about 30 seconds before you swallow. This will help the product absorb into your bloodstream faster. By using the product at night, you help kill bacteria in the mouth to prevent bad breath in the morning!

What makes our Colloidal Silver Unique?

Let’s start with a few comparisons between the Earthbound Products' Colloidal Silver and those from other manufacturers, because there is much misinformation circulating throughout the Internet regarding the various types of colloidal silver:

Professor Ronald J. Gibbs who was the director of the Center for Colloidal Science at the University of Delaware from 1981 through 2000, published a book in 1999 titled, "Silver Colloids - Do They Work?".

On page 25, under the heading "Yellow color of products", Professor Gibbs states the following:

"a yellow color indicates that the material has particles larger than are desirable. If a yellow color is present in the product it is probably indicating that some other unwanted substance is present causing the color, or that the particles are too large, either way indicating that the colloidal silver product is not acceptable nor is of the highest quality. The highest quality colloidal silver products tested were all colorless.

On the same page, under the heading "AC or DC produced colloidal silver", Professor Gibbs continues:

"All of the highest 4-star rated colloidal silver products tested were produced utilizing the AC process."

The Earthbound Products colloidal silver that we offer is crystal clear in color and is produced utilizing the AC method.

1) Colloidal, Ionic, and Mild Silver Protein (MSP)

Earthbound Products' Monatomic colloidal silver consists of 100 ppm (parts per million) of pure silver (99.999%), suspended in pure steam-distilled water.

Earthbound Products calls its product "Monatomic Colloidal Silver" because the silver in suspension consists of individual silver atoms (mono=one and atomic=atom). No stabilizers, additives, chemicals, or proteins, are added.

2) Silver Particle Size

Earthbound Products' colloidal silver is “Monatomic” as explained above (mono=one, atomic=atom). This means that the silver, because of its extremely small size, is more readily absorbed by the tissues and, consequently, much more effective.  Also, smaller particles contribute to “clarity” (color), which is explained below.

3) Clarity (Color)

One critical indicator of the quality of colloidal silver is its color. The ideal color is clear. A clear solution signifies that there is no agglomeration to form larger clumps of particles which, in turn, may render the colloidal silver more difficult to absorb and, therefore, less potent. Darker colors indicate larger silver particles that tend to collect at the bottom of the bottle.

OUR Earthbound Products colloidal silver: Crystal clear.

OTHERS: Various. As the size of the silver particles get larger, the color of the suspension ranges from light yellow to yellow, to brown, to red, to gray, to black.

4) AC versus DC

Many different brands of colloidal silver are available on the market today. The highest-grade colloidal silver is manufactured using the electro-colloidal process.

All of the highest-rated colloidal silver products are produced utilizing the AC (alternating current) process.

OURS: AC method

OTHERS: AC, DC, and other methods (chemical).

The best way to describe a good colloidal silver via the electrolysis method is the term "isolated silver". Isolated silver refers to silver particles and silver ions, surrounded by pure water molecules (H₂O). Silver, hydrogen, oxygen, a small amount of nitrogen, and a minute amount of carbon are the only elements present, with the silver ions bound predominantly with ( OH - ).

Educate-yourself.org has stated that:"High voltage AC (HVAC) colloidal silver contains much smaller particles with a higher charge density than conventional DC colloidal silver. The particles are so small, in fact, that they do not register using a standard laboratory spectroscopy analysis. The solution appears crystal clear. Many researchers have suggested that AC colloidal silver is a "mono atomic" form, meaning that the silver particles are as small as one atom of silver.Field reports suggest that AC colloidal silver may afford deeper tissue penetration and greater germicidal activity for certain deep rooted pathogens such as the Herpes virus which can hide in the nerve ganglion at the base of the spine when not in an active infection cycle.

One researcher has found that a 21 day protocol consisting of 1/2 oz. of HVAC silver colloid taken every hour for 8 hours each day, coupled with proper nutrition and detoxifying efforts, as well as complete abstinence from alcohol, will reduce Hep C viral loads from one half million viral particles (PCR) down to less than one hundred viral particles in about 3 weeks. This efficacy and results are unmatched by any conventional protocol aimed at controlling serious cases of Hepatitis C."

5) Packaging

OURS: Natural color plastic (HDPE) bottles and containers. There are no special storage requirements, and no expiration date.

OTHERS: Most of them require dark glass bottles and containers. Because of the large size of the particles and color of the suspension, they might react to light.

6) Other Considerations

• If a product contains a stabilizer or proteins to bind the silver, or lists trace elements other than silver, DO NOT use it.
• If a product needs to be shaken, it is inferior.
• If a product needs to be refrigerated, possibly some other ingredient is present that could spoil.

The superior formula retains a clear color and will contain NO artificial stabilizers, chemicals, or additives.

All of the above characteristics can be summed up in one word: QUALITY.

Please note, we are required to indicate that this product has not been tested or evaluated by the FDA, and is not intended to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure any disease.

 Detailed Product Information and Benefits

Silver Helps Rebuild Tissue

The mechanism by which silver ions help rebuild tissue has been studied for more than a decade by Robert O. Becker, M.D. of Becker Biomagnetics in New York.

Dr. Becker initially reported his findings at the First International Conference on Silver and Gold in Medicine, co-sponsored by The Silver Institute in 1987. Since then, this technique has been used in clinical settings where hundreds of patients with various wounds have recovered. In addition, a laboratory study conducted by the US Army Institute for Surgical Research in Houston, Texas, showed that laboratory animals with burns treated under controlled conditions experienced shortened time for reconstruction with silver-nylon dressings.

Recovery of skin function was faster when electric current was applied compared to no application of electric current. Dr. Becker received a US patent for the devices, materials, and techniques involved in the regeneration of tissue using silver ions.

After several hundred cases, Dr. Becker believes that the technique works in three stages. The first stage is the chemical combination of highly active free silver ions with all bacteria or fungi present in the wound, which are inactivated within 20 to 30 minutes. The second stage occurs over the next few days. Silver acts on fibroblast cells to cause them to revert to their embryonic state, becoming stem cells. These cells are universal building blocks whose role is to reconstruct new tissue. In the final stage, silver ions form a complex with the living cells in the wound area to produce immediately convertible stem cells. The end result of this conversion is that the stem cells supply all the building blocks necessary to completely restore all anatomical structures.

Additional research by Dr. Becker indicated that during laboratory tests he conducted, cancer cells reverted to normal (not killed, but returned to normal). Other observations he and others have made are a correlation between silver deficiency and illness, proper immune system functioning, soft tissue and bone repair acceleration, the formation of cells that appear to be able to repair virtually any part of the body, reduction of inflammation, antimicrobial, antifungal, antibiotic properties, etc. All of these observations are yet to be fully understood.

No other known treatment provides sufficient numbers of the embryonic or stem cells required for true regeneration of damaged or destroyed tissues in human and animals. The success indicates that there is the potential not only for the healing of near-surface wounds, but also for regenerative repair of internal organs such as the heart, liver, brain, and the spinal cord.

Patients have found relief from staph, strep, prostate and sinus infections, as well as laryngitis and sore throats, when treated with colloidal silver, says Debra Brammer, N.D., a naturopathic physician and faculty member at Seattle-based Bastyr University. Though few medical professionals are familiar with colloidal silver, no one disputes the need for an alternative to traditional antibiotics. Its proponents cite decades of word of mouth supporting its effectiveness, as well as published clinical studies in Europe and Australia.

Colloidal Silver References

1)     The FDA has stated that because colloidal silver has been in used for over 60 years (prior to 1938), it may continue to be marketed (Sept. 13, 1991, letter from consumer safety officer, Harold Davis, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Additionally, the FDA has no jurisdiction over a pure, mineral element. However, the FDA restricts what can and cannot be said about colloidal silver and no claims can be made about its properties.

2)    Dr. Robert Becker’s “The Body Electric” recognizes a correlation between low levels of silver and sickness. He stated that the silver deficiency is responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr. Becker’s research concluded that silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any side effects or damage to any cells of the body.

He also states that the silver was doing something more than killing disease-causing organisms. It was also causing major growth stimulation of injured tissue. Burn patients and even elderly patients noticed more rapid healing. And he discovered that all cancer cells change back to normal cells.

All strains of pathogens resistant to other antibiotics may be killed by colloidal silver.

3)     Dr. W.J. Simpson, C.M.G., M.D., (Professor of Hygiene) Kings College, London, and Dr. R. Tanner Hewlefler, M.D., F.R.C.P. (Professor of Bacteriology) University of London, published an article in The Lancet, back in Dec. 1944. In essence, it said that the typhoid bacillus, which they were working on, was killed outright by the silver colloid solution.

4)    Alfred Searle, founder of the pharmaceutical conglomerate, wrote in 1919:  “Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. For internal administration, orally, or hypodermically, it has the advantage of being rapidly fatal to parasites without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable”.

5)     “Colloidal Preparations of Silver in Pharmacy”, British Medical Journal, February 1923. Pure silver is entirely non-irritant. In tests, at very high dilution rates it has been shown repeatedly that the rapid exerted disinfectant action is of considerable therapeutic value.

6)     Alexander Tomasz, M.D. of the Rockefeller University of New York City, states: “Common bacteria that cause pneumonia, children’s ear infections and many other diseases are evolving into forms untreatable by all known medicines, threatening a frightening post-antibiotic era that is a looming medical disaster”.

7)     “Silver our mightiest Germ Fighter”, Science Digest of March 1978. As an antibiotic, silver kills hundreds of disease-causing organisms, and resistant strains fail to develop. Silver is absolutely non-toxic and the best all round germ fighter that we have. Doctors are reporting that, taken internally, it works in cases of syphilis, cholera, malaria, diabetes and severe burns. Richard L. Davies, executive director of The Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reports: “In four years, we’ve described 87 important new medical uses for silver”.

8)     Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom, of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, has used silver in his cancer cure method for many years. He says the whole thing is very simple. This brought rapid remission in patients given up by other doctors.

9)     Rather than in a chemical compound, silver, in a colloidal state, may be applied in a much-concentrated form, with corresponding better results.

10)  According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Poison Control Center, colloidal silver is considered harmless. Dr Samuel Etris, a senior consultant at The Silver Institute, reports that there has never been any allergic, toxic, or carcinogenic reactions to colloidal silver. The U.S. Government's Center for Disease Control confirmed that fact in 1995.
