12 REASONS TO HAVE A BOTTLE OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

Colloidal silver has been used for hundreds of years to treat a variety of ailments. More and more studies are showing this tonic deserves a place in any natural living enthusiast’s medicine cabinet. Let’s look at 12 fantastic benefits of, and uses for, colloidal silver

1. ANTIBIOTIC

Colloidal silver is a great natural antibiotic, thanks to its antimicrobial powers. It turns out that this isn’t a recent finding – silver has been used since ancient Roman and Greek times to preserve foods and drink. In fact, scientists in the 1980s discovered 650 different types of pathogens that were rapidly destroyed when exposed to small amounts of silver.

2. FIGHT INFLAMMATION

Use colloidal silver topically to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by inflammation and swelling, speed up healing and aid recovery.

When researchers at the National Institutes of Health studied the effects of colloidal silver on skin inflammation in pigs, they discovered that the animals treated with silver experienced near recovery within 72 hours, whereas the other pigs’ skin remained inflamed.

3. CLEAR UP EYE INFECTIONS

Thanks to its antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, colloidal silver can soothe and cure eye infections like pink eye, conjunctivitis and sties.

Treatment couldn’t be easier. Simply add two or three drops of colloidal silver to the eye, and repeat three to four times daily. If you prefer, you can use it as an eyewash or spray it gently over the eyes instead.

4. TREAT EAR INFECTIONS

Ear infections can sometimes be caused by several different types of bacteria, or even fungus. In these cases, prescription drugs may be ineffective – as they are designed to work against specific classes of bacteria.

Here’s where colloidal silver comes in! Because it kills so many types of bacteria and fungus, it offers a more promising remedy. It even works for swimmers’ ear.

Add two drops of colloidal silver to the affected ear once or twice a day until symptoms clear up.

5. SOOTHE BURNS, CUTS & SCRAPES

Colloidal silver stimulates skin and tissue healing while reducing inflammation, meaning it’s a perfect treatment for minor cuts and scrapes.

6. EASE SKIN CONDITIONS

Psoriasis, pimples, blackheads, white heads, cysts and red, inflamed skin are all painful, uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing skin conditions.

Whether these issues are caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, they can benefit from a silver treatment, which also helps speed the repair of damaged tissues.

Try a nightly application of silver colloids and you should notice the effects within days.

7. ELIMINATE SINUS INFECTIONS

Sinusitis – a continued feeling of pain or pressure in the face, and a blocked nose – can seriously affect quality of life. Painkillers, steroids and antibiotics are some of the conventional cures prescribed for this nasty condition, but these aren’t without their own unwanted side-effects.

Thankfully, natural remedies can be just as potent. Colloidal silver has been found to be effective when used as a nasal spray, according to a 2014 study published in the International Forum for Allergy and Rhinology.

Tilt your head back and pour a few drops into your nasal cavity or add it to a neti pot, which is specifically designed to flush out the sinuses.

8. BEAT COLDS & FLU

Because it is such a potent antimicrobial, colloidal silver may help reduce the length and severity of colds and flu.

Decongestants are one of the most common drugs prescribed to deal with symptoms of colds and flu, yet the Italian Drug Agency warns against the use of these drugs in children under twelve years of age.

For this reason, a study was carried out to evaluate the effects of a colloidal silver and beta glucan mix versus a saline solution on nasal congestion in children. Researchers found that, even though both groups improved significantly, 90% of the colloidal silver group completely recovered, versus just 66% of the saline group.

9. CURE A SORE THROAT

Gargling with silver is a fantastic way to pick up and remove the pathogens in your throat causing you all that pain!

Gargle with one to two tablespoons of the stuff for up to two minutes. Repeat this up to five times per day until recovered. Remember to spit it out in order to remove the microbes from your body! You can also use colloidal silver as a throat spray, administering several times a day.

10. NOT JUST FOR HUMANS!

This healing liquid doesn’t just cure humans – it can be a fantastic natural remedy for our four legged friends too.

For dogs, use it for infections, minor cuts and wounds, eye and ear infections and ringworm. When administering orally, 5 to 10 drops twice a day is recommended. As a wound cleaner, apply several times a day on a cotton swab. Ear infections require a few drops daily for up to ten days, while for eye infections one drop three times daily should do the trick.

Cats can also be treated with colloidal silver. Holistic veterinarian Karen Becker recommends using it to treat feline problems like feline acne, tear stains, yeast infections, skin conditions.

11. A NATURAL FRUIT AND VEGGIE WASH

While buying or growing organic is best when it comes to fruits and vegetables, sometimes it’s not always possible.

To protect yourself from what’s on conventional produce, mix up a batch of this natural colloidal silver fruit and vegetable wash.

Add one cup of water to a half cup of vinegar, and stir in two teaspoons of salt, allowing to dissolve completely. Finally, stir in a quarter cup of colloidal silver (at 5ppm to 10ppm). Use this mix to soak your fresh produce in for five minutes before rinsing, for clean and chemical-free fruit.

12. KEEP FLOWERS FRESH

Fill your home with beautiful blooms, safe in the knowledge they will last twice as long by adding a little colloidal silver to their vase. When colloidal silver at 35ppm was added to the water, the flowers maintained perfect color and healthy petals for twice as long as the flowers that were left in water alone.
