Jeff Nielson puts forth a good argument. However I think, as I always do when someone starts fear mongering as this article blatantly did, that it is just another tactic to cause a rush to buy silver. As we all know of the rapid run-up to nearly $50 an ounce must have caused a lot of big money to flow into silver. Now with the decline in price approaching 50% of last years highs these people will resort to anything in order to artificially drive the price higher to erase the losses they would realize if they were to sell today. I will continue to buy ASE's and Libertad's as well as any classic U.S. silver coin I find at a reasonable price. Not because it is silver and it can be used to fight off "Super Bugs" and Aliens, or Dinosaurs and stuff like that, but because I collect those things. Edited by Tim Stroud

A bit of subject, but T an Steve's comments got me thinkin...
I saw an article where this girl was fighting for her life after a zip line broke an somehow she received a bad gash on the back of the calf, which required several staples to close it up. Bad pain followed, pain pills given an sent home. Back to E room more horrible pain, antibiotics an more pain pills an sent home....
Next day she was so bad a doctor who actually took the time to investigate discovered a very flesh eating bacteria, which burrows deep inside the wound, an releases enzymes that literally break down human tissue....
Last report I heard she was fighting for her life, after leg amputation at the hip, an part of stomach was removed, very tragic....
I can't help but wonder if they caught that early enough an literally had her ingest something such as T pictured above in some colon silver cleanser, if by some chance if it would have killed that bacteria?
Scares me to know how easy it really is to to die a horrible death on this planet, via wrong place, wrong exposure at the wrong time...
Obviously doctors an scientists who developed these anti bacterial drugs, must know an incorporate silver into their products one would think....

This multi-billion dollar company Johnson & Johnson is not wasting their time. First, only primary, chronic wound dressing in U.S. to combine broad-spectrum antibiotic action of silver, bacterial toxin management, odor control of activated charcoal. Cost for some of these silver bandages? Amazon has them for $98.  Edited by tripncoins

This reminds me of when I was selling coins at both coin shows and a very large spot at an indoor flea market (when there were no coin shows that weekend) back in 2000... I had one customer come in looking for the purest silver I had available... I showed him some mint packaged Proof China Panda's and Canadian 1oz .9999 fine coins... He wanted silver that was not touched by human hands (thus the mint packaging) and of the purest quality to purchase for his health... Needless to say, I became curious and asked him exactly what he was going to do with the coins, and was surprised to learn that he would remove them from the original packaging and file the edges with a high quality file and produce very small silver shavings that he would then place in a capsule and take with his vitamins each morning... This is something that if I didn't witness, I would have never believed, and don't remember what his health problem was (I just think he was weird)...

Eating silver coins, or even shavings will just create expensive poo. You need to use colloidal silver: a liquid suspension of microscopic silver particles. I used to convince my little sister to eat silver dimes, she turned out fine. It's pretty amazing that this works. They only use a few parts per million, but again another example of non recyclable silver.

I can personally vouch for the healing properties of silver. Last year, I had a terrible problem with multiple eye infections over about a 6-7 month time period. These are quite painful, look nasty, and cause me to have extreme sensitivity to light, so I cannot go outdoors or drive a car when these hit.
I went to the eye doc and he gave me a prescription for some VERY expensive ointment and some merely expensive medicated eye-lid washing pads. Using these according to the directions, I could cure an eye infection in 4-5 days.
My wife went looking for something else that we could try and came up with a small $10 dropper bottle of very dilute silver sulfate. The next time I had an eye infection, I used the silver sulfate drops, 3 times a day, and cured the infection in 2 days... for about $0.15 and not $15.
Since that time, I have also used the silver sulfate on cuts and find that they heal up about 2-3 times faster than if I use an over the counter generic antibiotic. Cost isn't much of a factor with this but it is nice that it is quite a bit faster to heal.
I have not tried the colloidal silver but question its ability to remain in colloidal suspension inside the human body. There's a lot going on in there and it is one heckuva complex chemical factory. Colloids are not known for their long-term physical stability but that may or may not be a problem.

Baby eye drops were made with silver in the turn of last century seems like as well, so this is a concept that has been around for some time....

Is this what you used? Definitely not! This is silver sulfate in sulfuric acid. This would be extremely corrosive and damaging to anyone's eyes, so avoid this at all costs. What we got was called "Pink Eye Medication and looks like this:  Oddly enough, the silver sulfate is listed in the ingredients list on the back as a "preservative". A 10 ml dropper bottle of this costs about $10 and can be used to cure at least 30 eye infections and / or cuts, maybe more. It has two attributes that I really like: it's cheap AND effective.  Speaking of cheap cures... any allergy sufferers out there? My wife used to get allergic reactions to tree and grass pollen that were so severe that she had to take an annual spring-summer series of painful and expensive shots to treat it. Several years ago, she discovered "bee pollen" and now uses that to treat her allergies. It is more effective than the shots, less painful, and WAY less expensive. This can be had at most health food stores and pharmacies for $6-8 per bottle. Don't recall how many capsules this contains but maybe 150? Anyway, she takes 3 of these a day for 2 weeks in early Feb. She then goes to 2 a day for 2 more weeks. Finally, she takes 1 a day for the rest of the summer and her allergy problems are virtually nil these days. She says that it has to build up in the system before it works, so this regimen must be followed if effective treatment is to occur. I do not know if this will work for everyone but it sure worked for her. |

Thanks, Ed. I'll pick up a bottle. Amazon sells Similisan for $9.50, but it's a fairly small amount. |

No problem, Traevin. We are a "community" here, so if there is any way that we can help each other, we should do just that. Hope that it works as well for you as it has for me.

Ed,
Not meaning to open up a can of worms here, but I just noticed that the bottle in the picture you provided includes the word "homeopathic" on it. If it truly is homeopathic (and the word isn't just being used for marketing purposes), by definition it will not contain a single molecule of silver in it. The whole concept behind homeopathy is extreme dilution on the order of 1 part in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 and the belief that the water molecules somehow retain a "memory" of the original silver that was present before dilution.
If the solution helped your infection, that's fine. And, as I said, some manufacturers actually do include real active ingredients in their products and just use the word "homeopathy" as a marketing gimmick (Zicam cold relief, for example, actually contains a significant amount of zinc in it despite the homeopathic label). And there's also things like the placebo effect and the fact that minor conditions often clear up on their own regardless of the treatment (which, I know, nobody wants to hear or believe when they become convinced that a particular treatment has "worked" in their case). And yes, I have researched this extensively and can provide some references if you'd like.
My point is simply that it's probably not a good idea to promote a homeopathic remedy as evidence of the healing power of silver since it very likely contains no silver in it whatsoever.

Well, I have not had it assayed via AA-ICP for silver content but the label does mention silver. Is it dilute? Probably. Something tells me, though, that the term "homeopathic" is one of those terms that does not have a specific definition that everyone uses. If so, it would not be the only one. It is certainly possible that this, as well as many other companies, use this term as a marketing tool. In any case, this solution worked VERY well for me... and that's THE bottom line, is it not?
