Colloidal Silver Is Antibacterial and a Safe Treatment for E. Coli

in #health8 years ago

We want to share the successful tools for wellness we have found so that everyone may be healthy!

We find colloidal silver to be a safe, effective remedy for a host of diseases and ailments. E. coli is just one such bacteria that is no match for colloidal silver:

Over 700 types of Escherichia coli have been identified, many of which are harmless or even beneficial to humans. Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC), however, really freaks some people out because it causes “approximately 100,000 illnesses, 3,000 hospitalizations, and 90 deaths annually in the United States”, as well as who knows how many milder cases and food poisonings that are unreported each year.

Symptoms of E. coli infection:

  • Stomach cramps
  • Gas
  • Bloating
  • Diarrhea that may turn bloody
  • Vomiting
  • Fever
  • Fatigue


E. coli can pass from animal-to-person, person-to-person, or via contaminated foods and surfaces. It is a common hospital-acquired infection. Children and the elderly are particularly at risk of E. coli infection.

There’s really nothing to worry about though, because colloidal silver kills E. coli too! Colloidal silver is a safe antibacterial that is effective against a range of pathogens, and it is particularly quick at eradicating E. coli infections.



Here’s a link to how silver kills bacteria.

We’ve seen success in using colloidal silver to treat food poisoning:


“We went out to eat with my in-laws, and later that evening I got extremely sick. My stomach hurt, and I almost couldn’t make it to the bathroom fast enough. I was racked for a good hour until my wife found me and made me take colloidal silver. I felt relief within 10 minutes.” --David O.


I got food poisoning after a barbecue. It was not pretty. I took colloidal silver under my tongue, and it got better almost right away!” --April S.


I’ve had food poisoning before, and I would not want to go through that again. The last time I felt the stomach cramps with diarrhea start, I used colloidal silver. The cramps went away and I didn’t get diarrhea again!” --Meredith K.

After any bout of food poisoning it makes sense to supplement with a probiotic or fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut.

We have used Colloidal Silver with my family for decades. I can attest to its effectiveness on all sorts of health issues like strep throat, nail puncture wounds, barbed wire fence wounds, staph, ear infections, pink eye and more. Powerful stuff--and no risk. A very different kind of a solution than main street antibiotics. Thanks for getting the truth out. It is great to be aware of such potentially life-saving possibilities.

You're welcome, it's a lot of fun when people realize they have options and can take responsibility for their own health and wellness. Colloidal silver is effective, with no side effects, AND it works against a range of diseases! Triple win!

I appreciated the article and recognize that silver has excellent anti-microbial properties and possible controlled application uses. I upvoted you for the well thought out content.

However, I think if you are advocating people put something in their body you should present them with the known permanent risks.

Colloidal silver is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth, applied to the skin, or injected intravenously (by IV). The silver in colloidal silver products gets deposited in vital organs such as the skin, liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, and brain. This can lead to an irreversible bluish skin discoloration that first appears in the gums. It can also stimulate melanin production in skin, and areas exposed to the sun will become increasingly discolored.

Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Colloidal silver is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth, applied to the skin or injected intravenously (by IV). Increased silver levels in pregnant women have been linked to abnormal development of the ear, face, and neck in their babies. Colloidal silver supplements can also lead to silver accumulation in the body, which can lead to an irreversible bluish skin discoloration known as argyria. Silver can also be deposited in vital organs, where it does serious damage.

Thank you for your support and input! It's greatly appreciated.

Argyria is the ONLY side effect that has been erroneously correlated with the use of colloidal silver--it is actually caused by a buildup of silver salts under the skin. High quality colloidal silver does not contain silver salts. Also, argyria is extremely rare with only around 200 cases reported in 100+ years.

Our extensive experience with taking colloidal silver, including the hundreds if not thousands of cases we have seen, as well as history and the scientific record show that there are no side effects with taking high quality colloidal silver. "High quality" is defined by a number of factors, including particle size and what else is in the solution.

This is a safe and highly effective treatment for bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that is suppressed. Because we have such success with it, it is our duty to vocalize that there are more options than what is presented by the very unsustainable mainstream medical establishment.

The silver nanoparticles turn into silver salts in the acid of the stomach and then back to silver. Even if you start with no salts in the product you are selling and just pure colloidal silver nanoparticles. The conversion into salts creates the problem regardless.

From silver to salt and back again
Hurt and his team have been studying the environmental impact of silver, specifically silver nanoparticles, for years. They’ve found that nanosilver tends to corrode in acidic environments, giving off charged ions — silver salts — that can be toxic in large amounts.

nanosilver is broken down in the stomach, absorbed into the bloodstream as a salt and finally deposited in the skin, where exposure to light turns the salt back into elemental silver and creates the telltale bluish hue.

EDIT: It appears after further research that protective coatings can reduce the build up of silver salt ions. However, coating the silver nanoparticles does reduce the efficiency of the silver's anti-microbial properties creating a trade-off between safety and effectiveness.

Nanoparticles in high quality colloidal silver are treated with a coating that does not break down in the stomach. This is potentially superior to solutions that can be produced at home.

Further, it takes copious amounts low-quality silver solutions to build up enough to turn a person blue. This is why it is an extremely rare side effect. And again, this is still the ONLY side effect that has ever been associated with colloidal silver.

Western medicine, on the other hand, kills more than 700,000 people a year--that's a pretty nasty side effect to "healthcare". Colloidal silver is an alternative to the options presented there.

"Western medicine, on the other hand, kills more than 700,000 people a year"

Ridiculous claim.

The blue is caused by the ingredient they use to cut cheaper forms of what The Garden of Eden uses. Therefore all that info you pasted is void.

The blue is caused by silver salts not a cutting agent. It doesn't matter if the silver salts are present when you take the product they are created in the stomach. Any silver ingested will create ions of silver salts.

It is caused by the build up of silver salts under the skin. The chemical reaction that takes place when exposed to sunlight is the same reaction that develops old timey photographs. There are no silver salts in high quality colloidal silver.

The truth shall set you free!!! Keep 'em coming, please.

Health is accessible if you know there are options!

C. Silver Sounds Powerful
I've read a lot of good stuff about it.

It is amazing! We have seen success against a number of diseases.

I become more and more grateful for colloidal silver, the more I learn about this and iodine it seems like they are the cure all! Amazing stuff. Seriously!

Yes, there are so many bacteria and viruses and even fungi that colloidal silver is effective against! Defintely makes sense to keep a bottle on or near yourself at all times. And iodine is most definitely a keystone to health!

Wouldn't the body naturally just expel the bacteria on it's own?

E. coli frequently lasts 3-4 days, potentially shorter for someone with a strong immune system and potentially longer for someone with a weaker immune system. What we're seeing is that colloidal silver eradicates food poisoning in under an hour. Anyone is welcome to heal as they please including letting a disease naturally run its course, but to us 3-4 days to under an hour is a significant upgrade and we feel compelled to share that option with people.

My little brother unfortunately was hit on his moped yesterday by a middle-aged lady driving. He had some open wounds that I put your colloidal silver on last night. It cleaned it out super good and they looked dramatically better today. He looks up to me and refuses to use any gnarly chemicals. Give thanks!

So great how quickly colloidal silver works, and it's useful for so many things! Thanks for sharing your experience!

We use the silver all the time, in fact we have a solar powered maker. My grandmother uses the silver very often. Based on our experience, there are no risks, not to be argumentative with the other commenter.

It's so great that we can exchange our experiences and wisdom here on Steemit! We can learn about our options, and select what makes the most sense for ourselves! We're shaping the healhiest world for ALL by communicating and trading our knowledge!!!

I have used colloidal silver for years.

Awesome, another testament to the safety and efficacy!
