Colloidal Silver History
January 30, 2009 by Bob Livingston
Until the beginning of the development of modern antibiotics in the 1940s, colloidal silver was the natural antibiotic of choice and had been for 50 years. Pharmaceutical antibiotics looked like miracles because in the beginning there were no antibiotic-resistant strains of disease organisms. There was a lot of excitement over the new wonder drugs. So naturally, colloidal silver disappeared into the memory hole.
But as there are more and more resistant strains to antibiotics, colloidal silver is reappearing. There is no doubt about the anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties of colloidal silver.
The most resounding recommendation of colloidal silver, at this time, is that it has been officially disapproved of by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA fronts for big pharma, who do not want any competition from a low-cost natural antibiotic like colloidal silver.
The only caveat is that the overuse of certain types of protein-bound silver compounds cause a gray discoloration of the skin called argyria. Most colloidal silver preparations do not have this risk because they are prepared as a homeopathic substance rather than an antibiotic with, of course, the same medicinal effect.
Hello –I was reading your article on Colloial Silver and wonder if it,s the same product my dentist told me about.It,s called the ”Silver Solution” He told me it was a holistic product and would keep a Staphe Infection from returning. I had one from a head wound I had and when it didn,t heal after 3 monthes I went to a wound clinic and they cleaned it out and gave me ”gentamicin sulfate ointment ” to put on it . Now I,m wondering if this product would help it REALLY heal?
Thank You,
