You have a unique colloidal silver product. A lot of people are familiar with colloidal silver, and maybe the first generation of colloidal silver products. Can you give us an introduction of what's unique about your products? Moeller: The U.S. patent office found that our product was so much more effective than any of the other silver products that they actually granted us a patent. The difference is that we can pass all the tests and the same levels every time.
Mike: It seems to me that there are literally hundreds of thousands of lives around the world that could be saved each year with colloidal silver. Moeller: Actually, with just the work we're doing in Africa, we believe we can literally save millions of lives just from malaria. So it's pretty awesome. It makes you feel good. We have a joint venture going right now with a major group that is helping us to bring the technology through to the humanitarian market in a big way. And there are some names on there that we won't go into, but you would know readily that are helping us do that.

It promotes cell repair and tissue and bone healing.21 colloidal silver in concentrations of 3-5 ppm is very safe to use and has no recorded side effects.22 However, silver nitrate or other forms of silver in various concentrations disturb the balance of body salts and are also corrosive and cause pain.23 Recommendations for using colloidal silver vary from one manufacturer to another. Some recommend taking one or more teaspoons with meals, while others recommend holding it in the mouth for a while so it can be absorbed.
Colloidal silver is actually ionic colloidal silver.12 Using the low voltage method, silver is dispersed into water as very small particles (ions). These ions then cluster to form the colloid. The smaller ionic particles are more readily absorbable, making them much more effective than the larger ones. Although a concentration of 3-5 parts per million (ppm) sounds almost negligible, it has proven to be very potent against pathogens.

However, little in known about the relative absorption and toxicity of colloidal silver, compared with that of the silver naturally present in our diet. Because of the lack of long-term safety or efficacy data for colloidal silver, its use cannot be recommended. Are there any side effects or interactions? When taken in low amounts (e.g., 50 meg daily), the body appears able to efficiently excrete silver. However, any silver the body is unable to excrete accumulates in body tissues and can result in argyria—the depositing of silver in the internal organs, tissues, and skin.
Despite this Final Ruling from the FDA, colloidal silver will likely continue to be sold as a trace mineral supplement (page 559) without medical claims or claims of specific benefits, even though its need in human nutrition is unsubstantiated. Colloidal Silver has been used in connection with the following conditions (refer to the individual health concern for complete information): Rating Health Concerns -kiiix Minor burns (page 85) (topical antiseptic) Who is likely to be deficient? Silver is not an essential nutrient, and thus no deficiency state exists. How much is usually taken?

Now, of course, they have a place in a hospital setting -- in emergency rooms or burn wards, for example -- although there are much better alternatives, such as colloidal silver. colloidal silver is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with none of the toxic side effects of these antibacterial chemicals. I can certainly see some justification for using these types of chemicals in emergency rooms or burn wards, but they have no place whatsoever in the household, and they have no place on pencils. So when I saw these pencils, I asked myself, "What is the marketing angle here?

Colloidal silver products are classified by the FDA as misbranded because adequate directions cannot be written so the general public can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes. The products are also misbranded when their labeling falsely suggests there is substantial scientific evidence to establish the drugs are safe and effective for their intended uses. According to the Final Rule, a colloidal silver product for any drug use will first have to be approved by the FDA under drug application procedures.

In 1919, Alfred Searle, founder of Searle Pharmaceuticals, indicated that in tests, colloidal silver protected rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanus and diphtheria toxins.19 Silver is a trace mineral. It is present in the body in minute amounts and is used by the body to produce healthy cells and maintain the immune system. People previously obtained trace minerals such as silver in adequate amounts from eating plants grown in nutrient-rich soil. But our soils have become depleted of many of their trace minerals.
For long-term and regular use, a colloidal silver maker can be purchased to produce it for pennies per gallon.24 Grapefruit Seed Extract Grapefruit seed extract is relatively new compared to the other remedies described in this section which have been known and used for many years. A Yugoslavian physicist, Jacob Harich, discovered liquid grapefruit seed extract around 1985. It is a bitter and acidic mixture made from dried and ground grapefruit seeds that is proving to be a potent alternative to toxic medicines and cleaning chemicals.
Recommendations for using colloidal silver vary from one manufacturer to another. Some recommend taking one or more teaspoons with meals, while others recommend holding it in the mouth for a while so it can be absorbed. Generally, when you swish a teaspoonful (always use a plastic spoon as the silver will electrically ground to metal spoons) in your mouth, it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and transported quickly to the body's cells. It usually takes three to four days for the silver to sufficiently accumulate in tissues to develop a major bacterial fighting strength.
Research on colloidal silver shows it to be an effective resource against infections and pathogens, yet very little is known about it by the general public or the medical profession. Prior to 1938 it was in common use by doctors. According to Alexander G. Schauss, PhD, of Johns Hopkins University, considerable scientific evidence has been published regarding the effectiveness of silver as an antiseptic against "several hundred pathogenic organisms." He also points out that silver is not an antibiotic because, by definition, antibiotics are derived from living organisms.

Behind the scenes at Natural Products Expo West - A "brutally honest" Health Ranger Review

The New Hope group that organized the show actually invites an "FDA Enforcement Officer" to join the show, and they run around the show sampling brochures and making sure nobody makes any "unproven claims" about supplements, herbs, vitamins or even colloidal silver. The FDA "presence" at the show, of course, is intended to make sure nobody can tell the truth about what natural supplements actually do to prevent and even cure degenerative disease. The point of all this is to keep the public ignorant and make sure there's a huge market for pharmaceuticals and surgery.

Hospitals may be hazardous to your health

There are things in the natural health world, like colloidal silver, that can help, but organized medicine still won't acknowledge this. How bad is the care in hospitals? Here's a true story. This is a little outdated, but true nonetheless. A doctor wrote a prescription for some drops to be put in a patient's right ear, and on the script, he wrote, "R–ear" and the nurse read this and proceeded to administer the drops to the patient's anus (thinking the instructions said "rear"). Who puts eardrops in a patient's anus and calls it medicine?

Antibacterial silver products finally begin to emerge after years of FDA oppression

People aren't turning silver from taking colloidal silver, by the way. The FDA did find one person who worked in the photography industry, where they use silver in some of the development chemicals. And there, they use silver at not 100 parts per million, but 300,000 parts per million: it's 30 percent silver. That's a huge difference in concentration. Moreover, these people were dipping their arms in the silver solution, taking in these huge quantities of silver, and sure enough they were experiencing skin discoloration from it.
People who experienced little success on prescription antibiotics have taken colloidal silver with great success. Even drug-resistant bacteria are killed by ingested colloidal or ionic silver. The catch is that if you go to your health food store, you'll find a lot of different silver products. Some of them claim 10 parts per million, while others claim 100 parts per million ... and that tends to be the only way that people compare these products. They think that more is better. Gee, if it's 200 parts per million, it must be better than 10 parts per million.

Occasionally people with muscle aches, pains, and backaches are improved with silver, probably because these are associated with viral or bacterial infections in the spinal fluid, which traditional antibiotics or colloidal silver cannot reach. Zinc and silver make a very powerful synergistic team as a secondary immune system. Silver is also effective in controlling warts. Angstrom-size silver is the best source.

Olive leaf extract, colloidal silver, acidulous, royal jelly, and mushroom extracts are examples of products that may be a better first choice than antibiotics. When our bodies are toxic the immune system becomes the garbage collection system. Saunas and hot baths help to eliminate toxins that overwhelm the body's immune system. This is a natural way to boost your immune system by freeing it up to do what it does best. The bottom line is this—you need to stay away from antibiotics.
