6 Things You Must Know About Colloidal Silver

Great article from Wakeup-World.com – see their website for many more amazing articles…

1. Parts Per Million (PPM) is Mildly Important

When it comes to colloidal silver, don’t get caught up in how many parts per million — or PPM — a solution has. Although it’s not a mundane detail, what’s really important is the particle size.

Smaller particles can move more easily throughout your body and they’re more bioavailable. Particle sizes less than .005 microns are ideal. Sometimes this is indicated on the label, sometimes not. One way to tell if silver particles are too large is by examining the color of the solution. A dark or murky-color usually indicates large silver particles and other impurities.

2. Colloidal Silver Should Be Clear

A quality colloidal solution should appear clear. Other colors indicate additional chemical additives. Darker-colored solutions occur as a result of the presence of stabilizers, additives, salts, or proteins. These compounds are often used in many silver products to suspend larger silver particles. Products which need refrigeration or require shaking or those that develop a foam likely contain additional chemical impurities.

3. Silver Won’t Upset Beneficial Intestinal Organisms

A lot of people use silver as defense against harmful organisms. Unlike antibiotics, which wipeout both the “bad” and the “good” organisms present in the intestinal tract, silver maintains a balance of intestinal microorganisms. Silver absorbs quickly in the upper GI tract, and little gets through to cause problems for the beneficial bacteria in the small intestine and colon.

4. Good Colloidal Silver Won’t Turn You Blue

Occasionally you may hear of an individual who develops argyria, a condition that develops when silver proteins cause a blueing of the skin. (Do a Google search for Paul Karason.) While this may happen when people use ultra low quality silver solutions, pure hydrosol colloidal silver without additives, proteins, or salts does not cause this condition. [2] This is why it’s imperative to obtain the purest solution available.

5. Purity Matters

Colloidal silver isn’t just a mixture of silver and water; it’s a solution where the silver particles are suspended in water and have an electrical charge. This type of solution requires ultra pure water. It also requires special equipment necessary to create and maintain a constant charge.

Many colloidal silver home brew kits use salts or other compounds during the brewing process to suspend the silver in the solution. Products like this do not offer the same effect as colloidal silver produced with high voltage technology. The chances of argyria also increase with the consumption of these products.

6. Only Use the Best Quality Colloidal Silver

Not all colloidal silver products are created alike. First and foremost, choose a product that’s been produced using high voltage alternating current technology. This production method requires specialized equipment and produces a silver solution of unparalleled quality and purity compared to low-tech low voltage methods. Don’t be fooled by “concentrated” solutions of more than 10 PPM. In fact, a PPM of higher than 20 indicates the presence of a stabilizer or other protein that the silver is bound to as a means of suspension. That stuff turns you blue, it doesn’t provide any benefits.

Before you invest in a colloidal silver, do your research into any products you’re considering and make sure all these factors add up. I personally use and recommend Silver Fuzion.

Do you take colloidal silver? Why, or why not? Please leave us your answer in the comment section!

Why Cannabis Is the Future of Medicine

food . salad . greensThe future of medicine rests on the the fundamental right we all have to use things that spring from the Earth naturally as healing agents. Why should cannabis, used for at least 10000 years by humankind to alleviate suffering, be excluded from this inexorable mandate?

The politics of cannabis are exceedingly complex, and yet the truth is simple: this freely growing plant heals the human body – not to mention provides food, fuel, clothing and shelter, if only we will let it perform its birthright. In a previous article, we investigated the strange fact that the human body is in many ways pre-designed, or as it were, pre-loaded with a receptiveness to cannabis’ active compounds — cannabinoids — thanks to its well documented endocannabinoid system.

The notion that marijuana has no ‘medicinal benefits’ is preposterous, actually. Since time immemorial it has been used as a panacea (‘cure-all’). In fact, as far back as 2727 B.C., cannabis was recorded in the Chinese pharmacopoeia as an effective medicine, and evidence for its use as a food, textile and presumably as a healing agent stretch back even further, to 12 BC.

But the medical-industrial complex in the U.S. does not want you to use these freely growing compounds. They threaten its very business model and existence. Which is why it synergizes so naturally with the burgeoning privatized prison sector, which now has the dubious title of having the highest incarceration rate in the world. The statistics don’t lie:

“far surpassing any other nation. For every 100,000 Americans, 743 citizens sit behind bars. Presently, the prison population in America consists of more than six million people, a number exceeding the amount of prisoners held in the gulags of the former Soviet Union at any point in its history.”

Water & Salt – Cure Pain & Prevent Cancer

As an adult, I once fell ill and returned home for a few months. My mother came to my bedside one morning with two tall glasses of water.

“Here, drink these,” she said.  I did.  Then I hurried to the bathroom.

She had been reading a book about dehydration and she was convinced at that time, that I was dehydrated. I was and I kept drinking water. My health improved after that.

Perhaps this was the book she had read. She thought it was especially noteworthy because the book had come to her from her native country, England, even though its author hailed originally from Iran, Doctor Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D..

The salt aspect of health was something I had to research on my own. Full-spectrum salt contains all the minerals our body’s cells contain – and in the same proportions. Celtic salt is my salt of choice.

Why has there been no “cure” for cancer?

Thirty years ago, I knew an oncologist (cancer doctor) who was researching cancer cures.  We were walking on the beach on the first warm day in spring – hundreds of others were also doing the same – and I asked him to tell me about his project.  What he told me reminded me of books I’d read: “Laetrile, Nature’s Answer to Cancer” and “World without Cancer”. Laetrile is also known as Vitamin B17 (bee.seventeen).

That’s wonderful!” I said, “you are going to find it!”

“How do you know?” he asked.

“Because that’s Laetrile,” I responded.

He stopped dead and stood like a stone statue while people walked by us.  He stared silently into space.  He seemed to be in a trance.  I could not get his attention. Finally, he spoke in a very quiet voice.  “They’ll destroy me…” he said.

I asked “Who? Who will destroy you?”  It took him several minutes to answer.

“The AMA… The AMA will destroy me,” … and he repeated that several times. For those who do not know, the AMA is the American Medical Association. The AMA is the “labor union” that rules doctors and medical practices in the USA. It guarantees doctors the highest of wages – as long as they follow strict orders. Apparently, finding a cure for cancer is forbidden – especially when it involves confirming German doctors’ findings.

To top it off, on the walk back to my apartment, Mr.Doctor told me that he had been on the committee at the National Institutes of Health, responsible for testing Laetrile.  The test?  Only this:

The head of the committee had walked in the door all those years ago, while the doctor-scientists on the task force sat around a big table. He licked his finger and put it into a small bowl of Laetrile powder in the middle of the table, tasted it and spat it out.

“That’s CYANIDE!” he yelled.

THE END.

That was it! No research. No tests were performed. No clinical trials. Laetrile was simply outlawed.  No questions allowed.

My friend knew the vicious politics of medicine and science.  His own research stopped dead in its tracks.  He changed specialties.  Ironically, my friend had been unknowingly reinventing the wheel. When he found out, he was concerned for himself and his career – not for the millions of people who died of cancer each year.

If he had felt safe to announce his findings to the world, there would no longer be a cancer epidemic. If the pharmaceutical and medical industries sincerely valued life over profits and wanted to prevent and cure cancer, they could.  My mother would still be alive.

Did anyone you know die of cancer in those intervening approximately 40 years?

The pharmaceutical industry would like you to avoid seeds, nuts and beans, dark green leafy greens, etc, because if you don’t get a little bit of “nature’s answer to cancer”, you will be a great source of revenue for them.

The cancer epidemic still rages in the US because we eat sweet, salty, sour, but avoid the bitter flavor.  And when we do eat something bitter – chocolate or coffee, for instance – we smother its goodness with sugar and dairy – the two foods consumed most highly in countries that are highest in breast cancer.

I learned from those two books to eat my apple seeds, lemon seeds, grapefruit seeds.  And it appears that once I’ve had enough, I simply no longer eat them.  Haven’t overdosed yet. The body is wise..

Read those books.

When you eat an apple, eat the seeds. It might be the seeds in the apple that keep the doctor away.

Prevent cancer

Don’t wait until you get cancer and try to heal from it, for once you have it, you have a long way to go to reverse it. Instead, prevent cancer now. You can wait until you get scurvy to eat your citrus fruits, or you can have a little citrus each cay and prevent scurvy.

Cancer is caused by a vitamin B17, aka “laetrile” deficiency. Do your research and you will find that every effective cancer remedy has a bitter flavor. Apricot kernels are VERY bitter, but the good news is that laetrile is in every seed, nut and green – not just apricot kernels… and seeds, nuts, beans, grains and greens can be quite tasty. In Europe they make a brew called Swedish Bitters that they take daily as a health tonic. It is made primarily of dark, green, leafy, bitter herbs. You can buy it in the USA, or something similar.

I read the book “Laetrile, Nature’s Answer to Cancer” when I was young and since then, I’ve always chewed the seeds of my apples, pears, lemons, etc. I love to chew on fruit seeds; eating a piece of fruit seems incomplete without the seeds. I have learned to enjoy the tiny bite of the bitter flavor.

We have a cancer epidemic in the United States and the standard American diet focuses primarily on the sweet, sour and salty flavors. Raw seeds, nuts and greens are often missing in most American’s diets. We don’t need much bitter, but we do need a little.
