WHICH TYPE OF COLLOIDAL SILVER USER ARE YOU?

In my experience, there are three different types of colloidal silver users.

There’s the type who use colloidal silver only when they’re sick with an infection.

There’s the type who use colloidal silver in small amounts, on a daily basis, to help boost immunity and prevent future infections.

And finally, there’s the lunatic fringe, which is to say, the type who use colloidal silver indiscriminately, irresponsibly and without any common sense limitations whatsoever.

Which type of colloidal silver user are you? Here’s my strictly layman’s take on how colloidal silver should be used for maximum safety…

Experts have had their own unique thoughts and protocols for using colloidal silver

The early, pioneering work of Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. on the use of electrically-generated silver ions for healing stubborn infections.

The early, pioneering work of Dr. M. Paul Farber, on healing the underlying infections behind Lyme Disease and other chronic degenerative diseases with colloidal silver.

The early pioneering work of Dr. Bob Beck, Ph.D., on his four-part protocol for healing serious and even life-threatening diseases.

The innovative work of Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega, who pioneered the use of colloidal silver in nebulizers for lung and upper respiratory infections.

The transformation of TV’s Dr. Oz from a detractor of colloidal silver usage (during his “Oprah” days), to a staunch national advocate of colloidal silver usage.

And I’ve also maintained a web page with quotes on colloidal silver from literally hundreds of other top experts, doctors and clinical researchers.

Each of the prestigious individuals I’ve written about have had their own unique thoughts and protocols for using colloidal silver. And they don’t always agree with me (or with each other) on every aspect.

But I generally prefer to let readers see there are indeed differences of opinions among even the most knowledgeable of colloidal silver users. In fact, I consider it crucial for readers to understand that no one has an absolute “lock” on knowledge and understanding about colloidal silver and its usage.

So Dr. Wright believes colloidal silver should only be taken occasionally, when fighting a budding or active infection. And I believe it can be taken as a daily preventive – and quite safely – as long as excessive dosages are not used.

Does that difference of opinion preclude me from ever quoting Dr. Wright on the topic of colloidal silver? God forbid. I value Dr. Wright’s opinion, and I take it into consideration when deciding upon my own colloidal silver regimen.

3 Types of Colloidal Silver Users

There are basically three types of colloidal silver users in the world today – google image

To that end, let’s look for just a moment at what I call the “safe, sane and responsible” use of colloidal silver. There are basically three types of colloidal silver users in the world today:

1.) The kind who only use colloidal silver when there’s a clear and present need for it, such as a budding or active infection. (This is what Dr. Wright suggests, basically.)

2.) The kind who use small daily doses of colloidal silver in order to help strengthen immunity and prevent infections, or help lessen the severity and duration of infectious outbreaks from an underlying disease condition, such as Lyme disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and others.

3.) And finally, there’s the lunatic fringe, which is composed of people who claim you can ingest all of the colloidal silver you want, as often as you want, and as long as you

want, and it can’t ever hurt you as long as it’s been “made right.”

1. Group #1

Most colloidal silver users belong to group #1 above. And that’s perfectly fine with me. Using colloidal silver only when there’s a budding infection, or an active infection, is wise. If you’re otherwise relatively healthy, there’s simply no real need to consume colloidal silver regularly, even in small amounts.

Many other colloidal silver users – including me – belong to group #2 above.

Like me, many of these individuals have an underlying chronic degenerative disease such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, or others.

And because the immune systems of people with chronic degenerative diseases are often worn out from having to deal with the underlying illness, these individuals also frequently have to endure a constant barrage of secondary infections from opportunistic pathogens not related to their underlying condition.

This can range from frequent colds, flu, bronchitis and other upper respiratory infections, to sore throats, sinus infections, UTIs, Candida yeast infections, H. pylori infections and more.

So instead of taking colloidal silver only when they’re fighting an active infection, these individuals might take small daily doses of colloidal silver on a prophylactic basis, to:

a.) aid their weakened immune system in keeping the underlying infectious illness or chronic degenerative disease under control, and/or…

b.) aid their weakened immune system in warding off secondary infections before they get started.

If I did not suffer from Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (and its concomitant underlying infection with Epstein-Barr virus and Cytomegalovirus) I’d probably also be in group #1 above, taking colloidal silver only at those rare times when I have an budding or active infection, such as a cold, flu, sore throat, or even a bout with food poisoning.

2. Group #2

But instead, I’m in group #2 because my personal experience is that I have far fewer “sick days” each year if I take a little bit of colloidal silver each day.

And as icing on the cake, when I consistently take my regular small daily dose of colloidal silver (along with my other daily nutritional supplements) I also have far fewer incidences of the overwhelming fatigue and malaise that characterizes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which I’ve battled for over 30 years now.

So in the first two groups above, we have people who take colloidal silver only when they’re trying to fight off a budding or active infection, as well as people who take small daily amounts of colloidal silver on an ongoing basis in order to help prevent recurrent infections.

That leads us to the third group, which I refer to as the lunatic fringe.

3. Group #3

The people from the group #3 are the only ones I won’t listen to at all, or quote, because they’ve been proven so wrong, for so long now, that their contentions on colloidal silver usage are actually dangerous.

This fringe group of colloidal silver users simply can’t get enough colloidal silver. They’re not just enamored with it, but instead, are absolutely emotionally and mentally obsessed with it.

Indeed, these individuals are mesmerized by colloidal silver. They take extremely large doses of colloidal silver every day. And they’re quite vocal about their excessive usage, claiming it can’t possibly hurt them, because “silver can’t hurt you when it’s made right.”

Well, that sounds awfully good. But it’s simply not the truth. There’s no substance on the face of the earth – natural or unnatural, and no matter how well made – that’s not internally accumulative and toxic at some level of exposure or ingestion.

The ancient physician Paracelcus (1493 to 151) used to teach, “Toxicity is in everything, and no thing is without toxicity. The dosage makes it either a toxin or a remedy.”

In other words, there’s no substance on the face of the earth – natural or man-made – that’s not toxic or otherwise harmful at some dosage level.

For example, the mineral iron, when used in excess, can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity and disease. The mineral selenium, when used in excess, can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity and disease. So can vitamin A. Even vitamin D has toxic levels.

And frankly, so can any otherwise harmless vitamin, mineral, amino acid or herbal product if taken in excessive quantities for long enough periods of time. And that includes colloidal silver.

As I’ve repeatedly stated over the years, even something as innocuous as plain old drinking water can be toxic if too much is ingested. It’s known as water intoxication, or hyponatremia, and in severe cases it can lead to headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, mental disorientation and yes, even death.

Colloidal silver is not exempt from this basic truism that excessive usage of any substance can cause unwanted side effects. And anyone who claims colloidal silver is exempt from this truism is either grossly ignorant of the facts, or is a bald-faced liar.

Just as the mineral iron is only safe when used at non-toxic levels, and the mineral selenium is only safe when used at non-toxic levels, and vitamins A and D are only safe when used at non-toxic levels (I could go on and on through all of the vitamins and minerals, but I’ll spare you) so colloidal silver is only safe when it’s used at non-toxic levels.

As I’ve pointed out over and over and over again, it’s excessive usage of colloidal silver for long periods of time that cause problems like argyric skin-staining, or in rare cases, kidney or liver toxicity.

The truth is this: The human body has a perfectly good mechanism for utilizing and afterwards excreting small amounts of colloidal silver.

Likewise, and for the sake of analogy, the human body also has a perfectly good mechanism for utilizing and afterwards excreting small amounts of sugar.

But if you were to start ingesting egregious amounts of sugar every day, and you did so for months and years on end, sooner or later you’ll overwhelm your body’s ability to process and eliminate the sugar and protect itself from the deleterious effects such as lowered immunity, rotting teeth, gum disease, obesity, chronic yeast infections, diabetes, etc.

Similarly, if you were to ingest egregious amounts of colloidal silver every day, and you did so for months and years on end, sooner or later you’ll end up overwhelming your body’s ability to effectively process and eliminate silver and protect itself from deleterious effects such as internal accumulation in the tissues leading to argyric skin-staining and possible kidney or liver toxicity.

Continuing with the sugar analogy, most people who consume excessive amounts of sugar each day won’t admit they have a problem until their doctors tell them, “Look, you have low immunity, rotting teeth, obesity, chronic yeast infections and diabetes. Your excessive sugar usage is causing it. You have to quit.”

Until that point, most sugar junkies believe they’ll be able to continue using all of the sugar they want, every day, for the rest of their lives, without harm to themselves.

Likewise, most people who consume excessive amounts of colloidal silver each day won’t admit they have a problem, until…well…until their skin turns blue, or until the doctor tells them they have kidney or liver damage consistent with excessive colloidal silver intake.

Until that point, most colloidal silver junkies believe they’ll be able to continue consuming all of the colloidal silver they want, forever, without harm.
