Unfortunately, this story does not have a happy ending. Super-strain pathogens have developed a resistance to virtually every antibiotic developed thus far. Recent scientific research indicates that pure silver is essential to life. The human body contains .001 microns of silver and researchers note that illness occurs more frequently when the level of silver drops below this point. Unlike antibiotics, Colloidal Silver can be taken indefinitely without fear of microorganisms developing a tolerance to it.
Microorganisms depend on specific enzymes to breathe.
Minuscule colloidal silver ions disable these enzymes, cutting the air supply to the microorganisms with cytopathogenic results. Since the microorganisms are suffocated rather than poisoned, resistant strains fail to develop. These minute particles are small enough to be used by the body to destroy bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. Although a colloid of silver is a microscopic particle, it must be small enough to penetrate the membrane of a pathogen. Through clinical observation, it was found that larger silver particles produce no antiseptic effect.
