Colloidal silver can be defined as a suspension of ultra-fine silver particles in a colloidal base. It is recognised as one of the most effective natural anti-microbial agents as it has the capability to disable over six hundred and fifty different types of bacteria, fungus and viruses. Colloidal silver has long been used for healing in Eastern medicine and by homeopathic practitioners as an essential ingredient in various formulations.

The highest quality of colloidal silver is produced by the non-chemical method. In this technique the sub-microscopic negatively charged silver particles are kept in suspension in distilled water, and the uniform charge which these particles posses usually works to avert any form of aggregation. This tiny electrical charge that holds the silver particles in suspension is fundamentally important as it allows the particles to move easily throughout the distilled water.

There are a number of benefits associated with using colloidal silver. Firstly, it works to boost the natural defense system of the human body. Colloidal silver is also known to be a powerful and natural antibiotic which works by acting as a catalyst that disables the enzymes required by single celled bacteria, fungi and viruses to metabolise oxygen. With this capability, colloidal silver is able to suffocate harmful cells without causing any damage to the human enzymes. The disease-causing organisms are thus effectively removed from the human body.

Additionally, colloidal silver stimulates growth and enhances the oxygenation and regeneration of the cells that form the bones, skin, and other soft tissues. It is also known to improve the flow and drainage of the lymph fluid, and which is quite necessary for the body with regards to maintaining a functional immune system and eliminating toxins. What’s more, silver is an important trace element required in the body, bearing in mind that it makes up 0.001% of the mineral content required in the human body. Deficiency of silver may cause functional impairment of the immune system - which is the major defense mechanism of the human body.

Colloidal silver can be taken either orally or topically. When taken orally it is placed directly under the tongue or put in water and then drunk. Topically, it is sprayed onto cuts burn, skin infections, and even on acne. Colloidal silver can also be used as an eye wash, and as nose drops or ear drops. Without a doubt, colloidal silver has remarkable health properties as it is a highly versatile substance that can be used to heal several ailments. Colloidal silver can also be taken indefinitely as the human body does not develop tolerance to it.
