With many of today’s health problems stemming from foreign parasites such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa, can colloidal silver provide adequate defense against such bodily invasion?
Colloidal silver is usually taken in a liquid form and is made in distilled water with microscopic silver particles suspended in it. The silver is put into the liquid by way of a colloidal silver generator, which is basically 2 pure silver rods connected to a 20-21 volt source. It is important to make sure the silver is made with distilled water and this voltage as it will ensure a small particle size. Some people add salt to the water, but due to the increase in conductivity of the water, the particle size is too large, and the silver can become lodged in the body (called argyria).
Colloidal silver has some very useful properties, in that it can help the body defend itself against bacteria, fungus and parasites. It works by deactivating an oxygen carrying enzyme which the single celled organisms use to ‘breath’, which in turn suffocates the organism. In the case of parasites, it may not kill the parasite itself, but it will kill all the eggs, which behave as single celled organisms. Thus when the life cycle of the parasite itself is over, there will be no more to take it’s place. 
The size of the silver particles in the water is about .001 to .005 microns in diameter. This is smaller than any atom, and therefore able to move freely through a persons body. The body does not recognize the silver as foreign, so the immune system does not bother it.
When first taking colloidal silver a person may experience flu like symptoms for a few days. This is due to the cleansing effect of the silver. As the unfriendly organisms die off they can create some toxicity in the body as they are removed. This is perfectly natural and the symptoms will subside after a while, depending on the person’s state.
Colloidal silver is useful to include daily as a part of ones health regime as it provides like a second immune system, yet doesn’t weaken a person’s immune system like other antibiotics, and also doesn’t seem to upset the friendly bacteria in the colon. Of course taking colloidal silver is useful, but if a person doesn’t already have a good vegetarian diet, the body will constantly be battling with toxins and unfriendly organisms anyway. It is also important to make sure the acid/alkaline balance of the body is correct by eating the right amount of the right types of foods, even for vegetarians. Although a plant based diet is healthy if done right, when not done correctly, it can prove unhealthy also.
If a person is making the transition from an unhealthy lifestyle and diet to a healthy one, it is recommended to do a cleanse or detox.
