Silver Versus Ebola: A Medical Revolution?
For centuries, humanity has utilized “colloidal silver” to treat disease and infection, and to prevent disease and infection. Colloidal silver is (primarily) an internal medical treatment, created by immersing particles of silver in a colloidal solution.
Before the invention of antibacterial soap, colloidal silver was used as a disinfectant. It is still commonly used to kill bacteria…In ancient times silver was used in wound dressings and it was frequently used for the same purposes in America following the Civil War. It is also why churches use silver chalices in Communion to stop disease spreading through the congregation…
Even thousands of years ago, Ancient Greeks realized that the rich families who ate, drank, and stored food in silverware were much less likely to be ill than the commoners who ate from ceramics and used iron utensils. The rich people developed a slight blue tinge to their skin from years of silver ingestion, hence the term Blue Bloods was born…
With its popularity once again rising in our own societies (along with other herbal and natural tonics and remedies), not surprisingly we see “push-back” from the non-natural, chemical-pushing, pharmaceutical industry. While anti-microbial silver coatings and silver fabrics are spreading through our societies in a multitude of commercial applications – because of silver’s proven, superior anti-microbial properties – this is what we hear from the charlatans of mainstream medicine, in this case the Mayo Clinic:
Colloidal silver isn’t considered safe or effective for any of the health claims manufacturers make. Silver has no known purpose in the body. [emphasis mine]
Note the devious nature of this smear. The Mayo Clinic itself undoubtedly uses silver-coated/silver-laced materials and/or equipment in its own facilities to utilize silver’s known properties to externally fight infection in general, and the “super-bugs” which are becoming an increasing health-care menace (in particular).
…at the 40th annual Association of Professionals for Infection Control conference in Florida earlier this month. NMI Health exhibited its suite of SilverCare Plus performance fabrics including scrub and lab coat material, patient gowns, linens, blankets, and cubicle curtains. Collectively these products account for over 90 percent of soft surfaces found in the patient environment.
However, if the Mayo Clinic charlatans (and the rest of the mainstream medicine frauds) truly wish to insist that colloidal silver “isn’t considered safe” and “has no known purpose in the body”; then why are catheters (a piece of medical equipment inserted into the body) now being coated with silver?
Furthermore, medical science fully understands exactly how and why silver is so effective in killing a wide range of microbial organisms, thus combating disease and infection:
Scientific studies have shown that pure silver quickly kills bacteria. It even kills the super-bacteria that evolve after conventional disinfecting agents kill the weak strains of bacteria. Silver acts as a catalyst and disables an enzyme that facilitates actions inside cells. It is not consumed in this process so it is available to keep working again and again. The enzyme silver destroys is required by anaerobic bacteria, viruses yeast, and molds. (Unfriendly bacteria tend to be anaerobic and friendly bacteria aerobic.) This is the action that destroys pathogens. It stops them from using the body’s own cells as vehicles for replication. Colloidal silver creates an environment that makes it impossible for pathogens to survive and multiply.
Since it is not designed to combat a specific pathogen but rather works against the very nature of their life cycles, it is an effective preventative agent against all illnesses caused by all pathogens including future mutations. There is no known disease-causing organism that can live in the presence of even minute traces of colloidal silver. [emphasis mine]
Here we see the essence of the pharmaceutical industry’s hatred of silver-based medical applications, in general, and colloidal silver in particular. The antibiotics with which the pharmaceutical industry has saturated our societies are only effective against certain types of bacteria.
Worse, because they cause resistance to develop within these bacteria, it is commonly known that antibiotics are the creators of the new/dreaded “super-bugs” – requiring yet more new drugs to battle them. Meanwhile, not only is it impossible for silver to produce any “resistance” to its own properties in bacteria or other micro-organisms (and thus create more deadly mutations), it kills the Super Bugs against which the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly ineffective.
These ultra-greedy, drug-pushers want to design (and sell) a different chemical for each/every pathogen in existence – and preferably several. But silver is effective against all of them, permanently. Furthermore, because it is a relatively natural/organic treatment, these drug-manufacturers can be bypassed completely.
They can’t make any money from colloidal silver themselves. Worse still, it eats into their ill-gotten gains by replacing the use of their own (often toxic) chemicals. And so, yet again, Big Pharma condemns what it cannot (mis)appropriate for itself.
It is with this context in mind that we can consider the recent news (hushed-up by the mainstream media) that “nano silver” (i.e. colloidal silver) is now the officially recognized treatment for the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone, one of the African nations hit hardest by this killer-disease. This is despite efforts by the WHO to prevent Sierra Leone’s victims from getting access to colloidal silver.
The Hon. Alpha Kanu, Minister of Information, Republic of Sierra Leone (October 11th, 2014), in touting the impressive results of colloidal silver against Ebola:
“There is no illness that doesn’t have a cure. If you say that this illness does not get better then that’s a lie because 500 people have gotten better.”
Much has been written (in the Alternative Media) speculating on whether the African “Ebola epidemic” is truly as bad as depicted, or whether this has been exaggerated (by the mainstream media) in order to spread fear in our own populations. This skepticism has been further reinforced by the suspicious manner (to the point of absurdity) in which Ebola has ‘leaked’ (been allowed to leak?) into the United States.
However, irrespective of whether the “Ebola epidemic” is (even partially) a hoax, or whether this outbreak is every bit as serious and menacing as it has been depicted by the mainstream media; if colloidal silver is now proven/demonstrated as the cure/treatment for the Ebola virus, its use and popularity will spread – like the virus itself.
Beyond the present; if colloidal silver becomes known (by the people) as a safe/reliable means to combat the most-dreaded killer-disease in the world today, it will automatically become the first remedy people reach for in any future epidemic (or hoax).
As we become increasingly aware of the perils of the pharmaceutical industry’s “vaccines” – medical treatments which our laws do not require the pharmaceutical industry to thoroughly/properly test – the expression of “the cure being worse than the disease” is evolving from a mere colloquialism to a real, medical danger. For those amongst the world’s population of 7+ billion who refuse to be “lab rats” for the pharmaceutical industry’s semi-tested vaccines; colloidal silver represents nothing short of a potential “medical revolution”.
While Big Pharma trots-out new vaccines on a nearly monthly basis, each time insisting that this isn’t a treatment which we should use, but a treatment which we must use; now people will realize they do have a choice.
We can continue to be pin-cushions for the pharmaceutical industry, allowing them to inject us with vaccine after vaccine – until one of their semi-tested “cures” kills us. Or, we can rely upon a single (relatively inexpensive) remedy/treatment which (unlike their vaccines) has been used by humanity for centuries.
Even before the current Ebola outbreak; previous commentaries have strongly suggested that silver-based anti-microbial products would continue to sweep through our societies (and consumer shelves). Now, as humanity is warned of a potential “new plague” which menaces us; the motivation for this silver-based Medical Revolution just got much, much greater.

Copper pennies have other beneficial properties not widely publicized.
Silver is the wrong choice. Even with bacteria - which Ebola is not - it only works under a narrow range of temperature and humidity.
The correct choice is copper, which has been known to prevent infections since ancient Egypt and costs far less than silver. Copper kills bacteria over 99.9% within 2 hours of contact and it also deactivates Ebola virus, as well as other viruses and fungi.
Copper is the future for anti-infective surfaces, not silver.
Go ahead and ingest a couple of grams of copper, I'll wait and see what happens to you.
Copper becomes a poison if too much is ingested; just like many other essential minerals such as Boron, Selenium, Zinc etc.
Shhhhh...
That's not supposed to be public knowledge.
No more giving away secrets or you are on report.
JB MD - I'd suggest never putting all of your eggs in one basket, but using what works in a given situation. Maybe both copper and silver work in slightly different ways, and could be used for different purposes.
I don't think the killing mechanism is truly established for either metal. I think silver has a place in wound care for sure. Some of the catheters I implant have silver cuffs around them to help prevent bacteria from tracking along the catheter. However, silver will not kill bacteria under typical room temperature and humidity conditions. It therefore can't be used to prevent growth on contact surfaces.
The concept of using copper is not for internal use, but for contact surfaces. In one study, just replacing SOME of the contact surfaces in a hospital room reduced bacterial growth throughout the room. On the copper surfaces themselves the reduction was exponential.
This is important for preventing TRANSMISSION. Suppose you had a surface that killed bacteria in less than an hour?Where would you use it? Public rest rooms, airplane tray tables, arm rests, hospital bed rails, faucets, door knobs, the handles on Smarte carts at the airport or shopping carts at the supermarket, light switches - anything where lots of people touch the same surfaces. Next time you're in the rest room count how many surfaces you have to touch.
What about crowded living quarters: prisons, dorms, military barracks?
If you're trying to prevent transmission of disease copper is the logical choice. There are some other interesting technologies out there such as surfaces patterned like shark skin, which seems to prevent microbial growth but I don't know if it's effective for viruses and fungi. Copper kills everything. Put it on your boat hull - no barnacles.
Fair enough, and agreed on the boat hulls for the most part. Copper painted hulls still accumulate some "growths" that you'd likely not want to touch too much, or ever eat.
And that copper paint is easy to apply and lasts forever in non-marine environments - might be worth painting some high-touch areas around the house with that (light switches, door knobs, etc). Copper pipes and copper sinks may provide some proitection from contaminates as well, I suppose.
I think Victor Shauberger used copper gardening tools to help fortify the soil as well, if memory serves.
Steve Quayle was talking about this sovereign silver stuff with the fat man the other day.

There is lots of misinformation about the uses of silver for health issues. Even though it is mind blowing how effective it is against bacteria and viruses, like any metal, if taken in excess, can cause toxic accumulation in the body. Use only when necessary.
I was able to prevent a hospitalization for cellulitis with topical use for 3 days. Hospitals are now even using silver coated bandages to keep infections down in burn units.
Can be used topically for skin conditions, and internally for deeper issues. It can also be inhaled but that can be dangerous unless you know what you are doing.
Colloidal and nano silver can be made at home and much cheaper in the long run. Use only .9999 pure silver and distilled water (not tap water and not filtered water.) Some reputable manufacturers are www.silvergen.com and www.silverpuppy.com
I love my silverpuppy, going on 10 years now.
The real facts on colloidal silver or theories.http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html
This is bullshit. Silver does have an anti microbial effect but I don't know about anti virii and as far as I know its only for topical use.
As for Ebola, good luck with that.
As for vaccines, big pharma doesn't make much out of them at all - which is why there isn't an Ebola vaccine. Who wants to make something that is going to be given to poor people who can't afford more than pennies? There is much more money in making shit for rich white folk.
A JP Morgan VP addressed a medical conference I attended and started her talk with the following:
"You guys think that the big Four are Cancer, malaria, heart disease and AIDS, right? Let me tell you that our big FIve for investment are obesity, ageing, hair loss and sexual dysfunction."
Maybe someone needs to check how many Civil War inured died from having infected wounds... I'm sure it was thousands, silver or not.
another element that used to be used all the time are the sulfur based antibiotics.
another lesson in the perils of for profit medicine.

Cutting edge bandages for wound dressing and such are now impregnated with silver. My mother uses them all the time.

Great article. There is some credible dispute on the extent silver works on viruses as opposed to bacteria but it seems that when your body rids itself of heavy loads of bacteria and fungus it is much more able to fight off virus regardless.
Also, as impossible as it may seem Bob Becks protocol sold by Sota instruments works miracles.... on everything! Look into it. Or, one can go the Pharma pill, slash or burn route which hasn't cured a disease in how long? Isn't it interesting with today's breakneck speed of ingenuity in tecnology etc. that not one damn thing is ever cured? What are the odds?
the global economy has been rigged for over 200 years!

Good to see Jeff getting time on ZH.
Cheers!

I noticed that once Ebola hit the news so did the hit pieces on how dangerous silver was. In one piece it could be responsible for dementia, heart attacks and all kinds of chromosomal damage. Of course no proof of this was offered in the piece except that there were some aberations in human cell lines when megadoses were used. This was not an in vivo test and also used some fish in the test. By the way, nano silver will not turn a person blue, that only happens when the solution has larger particles of silver, silver salts or proteins in it.
Is it a cure all? I don't know, but its anti-bacterial qualities are well documented and its interference in viral activity is also, none of the supposed risks are documented, just hypothesized.
Even the Lone Ranger knows that.
Hi ho Silver awayyyyyyyyyyy
http://www.silver-sol.org/
I have a Nebulizer that turns my Ionic silver into a mist and is inhaled directly into my bloodstream through my lungs. Thanks Silver Lungs!
Ever since I started eating Himalayan salt, taking Vitamin C and D almost daily, and using Ionic Silver whenever I start to feel achy, I haven't really been sick in years. And I drink scotch or red wine almost daily. I watch people all around me get vaccine shots, get sick with the flu or something else, and they tell me the reason I don't get sick is because I'm "young."
I can only comment that whenever I feel a sore throat coming on, 6 or 7 sprays into the throat of the ionic-collodial silver we keep at home stops it dead in its tracks. I keep .999 silver bars and distilled water on hand to make my own too, sometimes. Works for me. Keep it at 10ppm or lower and you won't go blue.
I have some 30ppm solution at home...you can taste the silver in it. I'm considering using it as a sinus flush next time I feel a cold rolling up on me. That should blow it right out
What type are you using?
Silver is either a colloid, meaning a solid particle suspended in a liquid, or an ion.
Colloid=good
Ion=bad=argyria
If the bottle says ionic, toss it out. If it says both, then take a bit and add a drop of salt water to it. If you see a solid form, toss it out.
Many times makers of CS will use the term ionic, but really mean the Zeta potential, which is a property of a colloidal system.
Very slippery slope though. Salt water test will tell though. If you see any particles form, toss it out.
I would NOT make my own unless TSHTF, as you will not be able to accurately determine concentration and dosage and most generators will generate a substantial amount of ions.

Ionic silver is best for topical use, non-ionic is best for internal use.
If you put silver in HCl it will become ionic regardless ...
HCl will dissolve silver in very small amounts. But, that is not a sustainable reaction. You also need HNO3 to solubilize silver and maintain ionic silver. A weak complex is formed with the NO3 ion.
But HCl alone will not generate large amounts of silver ions, as the excess chloride will set up its own equilibrium between silver ions and silver chloride (insoluble).
pods
People take silver in very small amounts ... that's all it takes (to be a smurf).
I make and use my own ionic silver. Have you seen the Silver Lungs generator? I only make mine with distilled water, never tap or spring, and never put any salt or anything like that in it. It comes with a tool to accurately measure PPM and mine is consistently 18 PPM. In comparison, I've used my measuring tool on tap water which measures around 300 PPM (what the hell is in there man?). I have gallons of it stored in distilled UV proof gallon glass jars. It's amazing how many uses it has when you can make it so cheap. Like pennies to the gallon.
I think argyria can come from both collodial and ionic, you just have to drink a lot of it every day. Besides getting into the chemistry between an ion and a particle, I think ionic silver is more effective because it's smaller.
http://www.silvergen.com/ionic_versus_colloidal_silver.htm
Ionic silver is a misnomer, as ionic silver cannot exist in your body. Just not going to be present. If you take it orally, you are making silver chloride as soon as it hits your stomach.
As a quick test, drop your ionic silver into some 0.1N HCl and see what happens. Silver salts have been used in history but are dangerous.
Just not worth it when you can buy colloidal silver that has been shown to pass through you. You are still dealing with surface charge, just whether it it silver or silver chloride.

I hear that ethanol kills germs. I'm drinking vodka right now at work. I don't think anyone notices.
Large doses of jagermeister cure me of the flu back in my 20's. True story!

ebola is a virus... not sure about the effectiveness of silver on viruses but bacteria... works great
Minor point: silver is not organic.
Also, you have provided no support for your contention that silver is safe to ingest.
How do you define organic? The scientific definition it means containing carbon atoms. I assume you mean the new age hippie definition which is pretty much meaningless. by the way it has been scientifically tested many times and it works.
I define organic as carbonaceous molecules. Silver is a metallic element. High school chemistry.
NOT SO MINOR POINT: EBOLA ISN'T BACTERIAL - IT'S A VIRUS.
Unless the silver stimulates the immune system in some way, it's unlikely to be effective against a virus.
Silver has superb antibacterial properties and these are well-documented, but a virus is effectively an inert package of genetic data.
Bacteria respire, metabolise and reproduce. There are many ways that these processes can be disrupted. Viruses do none of those things. Viruses are obligate parasites - they are reproduced by the host cell. Anything that is lethal to the host cell is lethal to the host organism as a whole.
If silver somehow makes people more resilient against infection then it might have some benefit, but the only other possibilities would be that it stimulates the immune system (which can have very ugly consequences) or it interferes with DNA or RNA transcription/replication (which can have super ugly consequences).
If silver stimulates the immune system or interferes with any of the DNA/RNA-related processes then it might work against a virus, but it won't be without penalty. Maybe OK for disinfecting surfaces, though.
Vaccine is the way to go, assuming the producers can be trusted. Remember that the first vaccine was produced long before anyone had any idea what viruses were - and it was very effective:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine
I'll take my robust health and knowledge of what works and why in regard to human durability and adaptability over any vaccine. Willing to bet my life I'm right... Good luck to you, though!
Of course - each to their own - but you say "what works and why" - do you know for sure that silver is a good antiviral treatment? Do you also know why? Really?
What works and why in regard to human biology. Silver may help, unlikely to harm. Vaccines, though? No thanks.
How about thousands of years of success. Oh Wait, we need the FDA to approve it first, don't you.
As the author notes, Silver's health uses go way back in time.
Colloidal silver does not have an "agenda" the way large corporate pharmacy companies do.
They used to put a silver dollar in a jug of milk to
slow spoiling.
Could you produce raw milk this way? Maybe get a lower
bacterial count than pasteurized? Just circulate it through a
high contact silver mesh.
If it worked, there'd be a huge health food market.
There, I've created a whole new market for industrial silver. Ought to help
all you silver bugs. Come to think of it, maybe that's the reason for the article.
Thanks for that tidbit about the silver cups and utensils and "blue bloods".
If anything competes with the U.S. Pharmacidical industry it will be suppressed.
Unfortunately that "tidbit" is horse shit. Aristocracy were called blue bloods originally in Spain not because they had mild argyria (which you do not get from using silverware!) but rather because it was easier to see their blue veins in their comparatively pale skin as opposed to the melanin-rich, tan skin of the argicultural working class.
This article touches a number of conspiracy pieces, most notably that somehow all ails can be cured by silver if everyone would just buy some (oh by the way they sell it). Unfortunately this is as much of a tale as the "laetrile cures cancer" scam. Big pharm or not, there have been plenty of studies on colloidal silver, obviously it has general anti-microbial properties, but no it is not a miracle cure and no it is not going to "cure" Ebola. It may or may not marginally assist with secondary infection, and outside of the body it can be helpful in keeping medical devices sterile. If it were as effective as advertised, big pharmaceutical companies would still have plenty of occasions to leverage it, and likely with great margins as the majority of people are not going to "make" colloidal silver at home or buy an unregulated supplement of questionable potency or effectiveness. "Medical silver" could be a big money maker....if it really worked like this article claims. Unfortunately the data is just not there to support that.
Sorry ebworthen and redpill,
But...
Hemocyanin is a characteristic of the all our psychotic friends bloodlines. Also correlated to rh negative.
Apparently, Lord Fiatchild and Sir Fractional Reservefeller have something in common with horseshoe crabs, lobsters, and arachnids in general!
(On another note - try placing a cupric sulfate crystal for a minute on mouth sores and watch them disappear in hours. Also, any conductive metal (even aluminum hypochloride in antiperspirants) shorts out bacterial/viral communication of nasty topical outbursts like molluscum contagiosum (sp?), etc)
Hook Line and Conspiracy!
Gee Mr redpill, your data is just not there to support you either.
My data of my family and numerous people who I have introduced colloidal silver to speaks otherwise.
Obviously you have not had ebola and tried to cure it with silver that failed and you are now dead. Your bold statement 'no it is not a miracle cure and no it is not going to "cure" Ebola.' is bull shit on your part... You don't really know for sure do you...
Just ask Mr red pill he know all....Just like Tim.
What a dick...

i will dissagree somewhat
a huge threat to hospital balance sheets are things such as hospital aquired medically resistant superbugs and wound infections. there has to be some signifigance to increased usage in silver treated wound dressings or they simply would not use them. cath's too. there are a shitload of things to treat silver with when it comes to medical equipment ect... that simply are not being utillized such as treated IV caths, bed sheets for patients with decubitis ulcers, and thermometers/bp cuffs which are frequently used on multiple patients and are a known source of infection. now why is that? i honestly dont know
