While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs in the late 1970s, Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of The Body Electric , discovered that silver ions promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic. The particles in a colloid do not actually dissolve, but remain suspended in a suitable gas, liquid or solid.
Colloids play an important part in organic functions, such as digestion and excretion.
Properly manufactured Colloidal Silver is a liquid solution consisting of submicroscopic particles of silver, held in suspension in pure water by the tiny electrical charge placed on each particle. These electrically charged particles of silver can become active and remain suspended in water without any artificial additives or stabilizers. Colloidal Silver acts as a powerful, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. The presence of Colloidal Silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.
