1. Introduction:
It is now believed by nutritional scientists that the metallic elements
Zinc, Copper, Iron, Tin, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum,
Chromium, and Boron as well as other rarer elements like Selenium, Germanium,
Vanadium, Platinum, Silver, and Gold, Titanium, Rhodium, and Iridium are essential for our well-being and maintenance
of body systems. Like many other minerals, they have always been present
in our food but in diminishing amounts in recent decades. For each element
there is a minimal daily requirement. In the case of Silver, Selenium,
Chromium, Iodine, and Molybdenum, this is around 100 micrograms (0.1 milligrams).
For Zinc, and Germanium it is 100 milligrams. For Magnesium it is 350 mg
(see "Brain Longevity" by Dr D.S. Khalsa). Without essential minerals,
our ability to resist disease is seriously compromised.
Good quality Colloidal silver mineral water is easy to make at home
using distilled water and our properly designed power supply and is totally
safe for all living creatures. The silver mono-atomic particles are so
small (less than 1 nanometre) that they penetrate easily into the smallest
microbes, viruses, perhaps prions, mitochondria, microtubules and
perhaps across the blood-brain barrier. They
do not accumulate in the body, and are excreted all too quickly. No Silver
salts or ions should be present to cause Argyria, only nano-clusters of Silver atoms
which cannot interact with the Hydrochloric Acid of the stomach and so pass on
to the bloodstream unchanged to carry out their catalytic function and later
excreted by the kidneys. A charged cluster of atoms is not an ion.
Metallic silver was widely used for infected wounds and infectious
diseases before the advent of antibiotics in the 1940’s. Its is now being
recognised again as a useful broad spectrum anti-biotic which can be taken
orally or topically. Minute traces of metallic silver in atomic form are reported to have the unique property of inactivating several strains of bacteria,
certain viruses, moulds, fungi, protozoa parasites and possibly prions
(newly discovered infective protein causing brain damage). In its elemental,
atomic (non-ionic) form, silver has no toxicity, no cumulative side effects
nor does it give rise to resistant strains, unlike some antibiotics.
NANOSILVER WATER typically contains only trace concentrations
of up to 100 ppm of Silver and Gold. To demonstrate how little this is, commercial
water labeled as "Sodium-Free" has 10 ppm of Sodium. NANOSILVER WATER has minimal
effects on benign bacteria of the colon because NANOSILVER WATER is rapidly absorbed
into the mouth and small intestine. Taken orally, properly prepared mono-atomic silver in the form of NANOSILVER
WATER could regain its rightful place as the safest, most effective contribution
to the well-being of humans, animals and even plants.
2. What is NANOSILVER WATER ?
NANOSILVER WATER is an advanced form of Colloidal Silver (CS) also containing
Colloidal Gold (CG). It is the result of years of research to
produce the highest quality product and cannot be compared to crude CS as sold world-wide, since CS is still made by a rapid crude method which
results in ion formation and unnecessarily large particles greater than 20-50 nanometres.
NANOSILVER WATER has all the undoubted benefits and more of CS.
NANOSILVER WATER is made from de-ionized double steam-distilled water electrically charged so as to alter the structure of the molecules of the water.
Large solid sheet electrodes of silver and gold are used to pass very weak
electrical signals through the water slowly over 48 hours rather than over-driving
the elctrodes in 5-15 minutes as in the making of crude colloidal silver.
3. What are the benefits of NANOSILVER WATER
?
NANOSILVER WATER seems to have an exceptional range
of effectiveness such that it has been used in situations of morbidity
either alone or in combination with other remedies. During times of natural
disaster and in tropical countries, it is an ideal inexpensive water sterilization
and disease prevention regime. In farming, veterinary medicine and
fish hatcheries, all animals should have a regular supplement of NANOSILVER
WATER .
In agriculture, sprouting and horticulture NANOSILVER WATER has usefulness on plants
by slowing down the wilting process as well as protecting against parasites.
4. How safe is NANOSILVER WATER ?
Firstly, a clear distinction must be made between metal atoms which are safe
and metal ions which can be toxic in high doses. Silver and Gold, in the metallic,
atomic or colloidal form are metabolic catalysts, are not changed by passage
through the body, are non-toxic, except to one cell plants and animals, and
are non addicting.
Atomic electrically charged, non-ionized Silver is a chemically inert catalyst and anti-oxidant.
Inside the body, silver atoms form no toxic compounds cannot react
with the stomach's Hydrochloric Acid, nor
react with anything other than a microbe's oxygen-metabolizing enzyme, providing
the atoms are small enough to penetrate the microbe, virus or prion.
There have been no reports of adverse effects from the use of properly
prepared NANOSILVER WATER . Elemental
atomic silver is excreted all too rapidly by the kidneys and does not accumulate
in the body. Argyria (blue skin) has never been reported with silver
in the pure metallic or colloidal form, but only when in ionic form combined
with protein or an anion such as nitrate. NANOSILVER WATER has minimal effects
on benign bacteria of the colon because NANOSILVER WATER is rapidly absorbed
into the small intestine.
Silver has been used by mankind for thousands of years, and there is a great deal of safety information available on the use of silver both internally and externally. Most of the available test work on silver has been provided through the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Unlike other heavy metals, silver is not known to have human carcinogenic potential and does not appear to be a mutagen (RED document, page 3, 3rd paragraph).
For Human Oral Consumption, according to the EPA Reregistration Eligibility Document (RED), issued in August of 1993, the EPA established an oral Reference Dose (RfD), or daily intake limit, of 0.005 mg/kg/day
which for a 70 kg person is 350 micrograms of silver. 1 part per million
is equivalent to 1 microgram per ml, therefore an ounce of 10 ppm CS
contains 300 micrograms.
For Clearance From Body, according to the EPA Research and Development report
entitled "DRINKING WATER CRITERIA DOCUMENT FOR SILVER" dated January of 1991, on page III-17, paragraph states, “Several studies support the observation that silver is carried in the blood mainly by the globulins and is quickly cleared by the liver, and to a lesser extent by the spleen (Scott and Hamilton, 1950; Furchner et al.)”. “Radioactive 110AG, as silver iodide, was cleared from the blood of a dog and from the blood of rats, in 24
hours (Anghileri, 1969).
5. What are Prions?
Link to
our Prion page
Prions are extremely small proteinaceous infectious particles which
resist inactivation by the usual methods which modify nucleic acids. They
are protein molecules with no nucleic acid core and are responsible for
the spongiform encephalopathies which cause extensive brain damage.
At least one person in 10000 is infected and many more remain undiagnosed.
Symptoms are: dementia, insomnia, paralysis and wasting.
6. How much should I take?
Zane Baranowski in his excellent booklet "Colloidal Silver" (page 12)
describes in some detail that the optimal daily intake of silver for a
healthy person would be around 100 micrograms, which he states as corresponding
to four teaspoonfuls (20 ml) of 5ppm NANOSILVER WATER . Because of its submicroscopic
atomic size, NANOSILVER WATER is rapidly absorbed and excreted within hours.
THE USUAL PROBLEM IS NOT TAKING ENOUGH to achieve and maintain full 5 ppm
concentration in the body fluids. For dosage, there is a daily maintainance dose as a Nutritional Supplement and Preventive of 1/2
to 1 ounce per day.
7. Will NANOSILVER WATER kill my good bacteria?
NANOSILVER WATER is rapidly absorbed through the mouth if you let it linger
there. Then it is absorbed by the stomach and small intestine. Very little
arrives in the large intestine or colon. There have been no reports
of digestive side-effects however you could take acidophyllus, Inner
Garden Flora or yogurt.
Some use NANOSILVER WATER in colonic irrigation for lower bowel problems.
8. What are the benefits of mono-atomic Gold?
While Colloidal Gold does not have the same germicidal/anti-bacterial
action of Colloidal Silver, Colloidal gold is thought to have powers as an
anti-inflammatory and has been reported to be a glandular activator with life extension, raised brain function and I.Q. and Pineal enhancing
possibilities, (see Frontier Perspectives Journal, Vol 7, No 2, Fall 1998).
In former times crushed
gold particles was used to quell the cravings for
alcohol, and was used as a remedy for digestive disorders, circulatory
problems, depression, obesity, and burns. Gold is a catalyst for endorphin-like
hormones as well as the antioxidant enzyme SuperOxideDesmutase. Colloidal
Gold in elemental metal form is tasteless and non-toxic. In
Homeopathy and traditional
Alchemy, a mixture of Silver and Gold was called Electrum.
9. What are the benefits on the Immune System?
Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD, noted bio-medical researcher from Syracuse
University, and author of "The Body Electric" and "Cross Currents", recognized
a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said silver deficiency
is responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. According
to Dr. Becker and Dr Gary Smith, silver is an essential mineral for proper
functioning of the immune system and for the repair of injured tissue.
Analyses of individuals with severe immune deficiency often indicate a
lower than normal level of silver in the body which should be .001%.
Colloidal silver literature recommends a maintenance nutritional dose of at least 100 micrograms of silver daily to counteract
immuno-deficiency.
As we grow older our immune systems decline in function
at an average rate of 1% per year. This system not only defends the body
from poisons and outside invaders, it is also responsible for cleansing
the body of toxins, and is also responsible for the creation and feeding
of new cells. The immune system is a central computer whose function is
to maintain good health. When we reach the age of 18 to 21, the immune
system is functioning at peak efficiency. When we are younger, we can fight
off minor infections but as we grow older, trivial infections or colds
may turn into life threatening events.
A good immune system should be able to withstand
common ailments such as a cold, flu, or candidiasis, herpes. Even the more
serious illnesses of cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS could be
deterred if the human immune system were strong and vital. Over the last
century, human (and animal) immune systems have been getting weaker likely
due to global pollution combined with lack of essential minerals in the
soils. While at the same time, destructive, illness-causing microbes have
been getting stronger due to the overuse of prescribed antibiotics.
An antibiotic may kill most of the harmful bacteria. However, some of the
bacteria survive to breed stronger cells which then become resistant to
the antibiotic. There are now strains of super-microbes that are unkillable
by any known prescribed antibiotic. Obviously, there is a crisis brewing
in the condition of life on this planet. Most humans are functioning with
a borderline internal immune system often insufficient to fight off disease.
The modern immune system is overtaxed daily with the constant bombardment
of chemical pollutants in the air, water and even our food. Before 1940,
most of our food was grown using organic, natural fertilizer. The soil
and natural fertilizer contained many trace chemicals necessary to the
human body which supported its natural defence system. Today, the soil
itself is far less vital and the fertilizers are synthetic, chemical versions
which have none of the trace elements found in organic fertilizer. One
of those essential elements which has been disappearing from our food supply
is silver. If we eat plants grown on chemical fertilizers, as most plants
are grown today, without living organisms in the soil to help provide nutrition
to the plant, we do not get the quality of vitamins and minerals that are
available in organically grown foods. Thus, deficiencies develop. As the
tissues age, or if we cannot assimilate silver for some reason, we develop
a silver deficiency and an impaired immune system that could possibly lead
to cancer and other diseases.
Our body's immune system produces very reactive
chemical entities called 'free radicals', to enable it to rid itself of
various types of toxic waste. An atom is composed of a nucleus in the center
surrounded by a certain number of moving electrons. 'Free radicals' involve
oxygen atoms that have one too many or one to few electrons. Though our
bodies do need some free radicals, like Nitric Oxide, an excess of them
causes very serious illness, including cancer. The only way
to get rid of free radicals in the system is to give them one more electron.
By doing that we change them from dangerous particles to beneficial ones.
Some substances are available which achieve this, such as Melatonin, Glutathione,
Vitamin
C and E, as well as a few man-made compounds (Microhydrin)
known as 'anti oxidants'.
While anti oxidants work well, structured water, which forms the
basis of NANOSILVER WATER , is claimed by homeopathic researchers to work better.
10. What are the benefits against AIDS and viruses?
Both AIDS and Cancers are thought to be associated by some kind of virus. The literature
indicates that mono-atomic silver could be highly effective against
many strains of virus. Where many drugs on
the market suppress certain symptoms of a cold, mono-atomic silver is thought
to inactivate the virus that causes it to linger. AIDS, like all other
viral infections, is largely unaffected by antibiotics, which each kill off only
a few strains of bacteria and none are effective against viruses, yeasts,
moulds or fungi.
11. What about Herpes?
Link to our Herpes page
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) exists in two forms: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Either
virus can infect the mouth or genitals but HSV –1 most commonly causes
cold sores around the mouth and HSV –2 causes genital herpes. To realize
how common they are; four out of five adults have HSV –1 and one in five
has HSV –2. Many don’t know it because they do not have an active
phase with blisters or sores. Most of the time HSV is inactive staying
in a nerve root at the base of the spine where it does no harm. In the
active phase, it travels along the nerve to the skin where it causes irritation,
bumps, blisters or sores which then shed virus out to the environment and
other people. A major precipitating factors for an outbreak is depression
accompanied by stress. The Centre for Disease Control reports that the
incidence of Herpes has risen in the last ten years from 16% to 21%. This
means that one in five are infected.
Like many other viruses, the herpes virus has the
ability to conceal itself inside the body’s cells and to take over the
cell’s ability to replicate itself. The cell then replicates new virus.
Drugs like Acyclovir act at the cellular level prevent it from replicating
and don’t actually kill the herpes virus. As such they are not a "cure"
but do provide considerable help in managing aspects of the disease such
as passing it on and relief from symptoms.
A useful aloe vera gel containing NANOSILVER WATER is available from Biophysica.
A related virus is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
which is responsible for the highly infectious genital and peri-anal warts
and associated with cancer of the cervix. It is the most common virally
transmitted sexual disease causing warts in 1.4 million and sub-clinically
infecting an estimated 100 million people. (World Congress of Dermatology,
Sydney Australia, October, 1997, & Koutsky L.A., Amer. J. Med. 1997;
102, 4B). 12. Can it help genito-urinary problems?
Two of the most distressing chronic conditions are chronic cystitis
and vaginitis. Both are very common. There are well over 100,000
cases of diagnosed interstitial cystitis in the US and perhaps five times
this number undiagnosed. Some patients wait 8-10 years before seeking help.
Cystitis sufferers spend an estimated $200 million dollars for medical
care because the consequences on their lives are so serious, including
four times greater incidence of suicidal thoughts. Although the cause is
not completely known, it is likely that microbial infection and biofilm
formation play a major
part.
In the case of vaginitis, there is commonly a mixed
infection of at least three organisms Trichomonas (a protozoan), Gardnerella
(a bacterium), and Candida (a yeast). Other possible organisms are Chlamydia,
and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Many more exist but these are the commonest.
13. Can NANOSILVER
WATER help Cancer?
Link to our Cancer page
Becker in his book "The Body Electric", p 175 reports the benefits
of electrically active silver on cultures of malignant fibrosarcoma cells,
the growth of which was apparently stopped. Dr Bjorn Nordenstrom (Karolinska
Institute) also noticed that cancer cells changed back to normal in the
presence of silver atoms.
14. Can NANOSILVER WATER help animals and plants?
Reports indicate that animals respond to NANOSILVER WATER as impressively as humans. Fish farms
particularly, could benefit from the regenerating and anti-microbial
benefits of silver. Plants in general need silver. Fresh cut
flowers in particular show such impressive preservation that Biophysica has written a book exclusively on this topic. Instead of lasting
fresh only for 5 days, cut flowers like roses, carnations, orchids etc
last up to 15 days with NANOSILVER WATER and other mineral ingredients in a mixture
called Electromin-6.
15. What are the costs?
Today, most Health Food Stores carry and sell several brands of colloidal
silver, scores of MLM companies have colloidal silver products in their
lines. While it is still possible to spend as much as $20/oz. for colloidal
silver water in Health Food Stores and from MLM companies, prices can be as low as $4/oz.

MIGRAINES:
Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - Print Edition, Page R6
Milan, Italy -- "Some headaches may be linked to infection with a common bug and daily doses of
friendly bacteria could ward them off, preliminary research suggests.
A study presented last week at an infectious diseases conference found that about 18 per cent of chronic migraine sufferers were infected with the stomach bug Helicobacter pylori, and antibiotics appeared to clear
the headaches.
Adding the friendly bacteria Lactobacillus seemed to work even better, leaving most people migraine-free for a year and lessening the intensity and frequency of recurring headaches in the others, the lead researcher
said".
ASTHMA: Are swimming pools to blame?
Childhood asthma is on the rise-and researchers believe it could have something to do with the chlorine in swimming pools. The likeliest suspect is nitrogen trichloride, a by-product of the chlorine, which is a powerful irritant.
Belgian researchers found high levels of lung-specific proteins-a marker of lung permeability-in children who regularly visited indoor swimming pools, and had done so since early childhood.
These proteins suggest that the lung's epithelial barrier was being constantly and chronically disrupted and which, in turn, was allowing allergens to enter the lungs.
It's an early indicator and more research is needed, say the researchers. Nonetheless, people who run swimming pools should already be looking at non-chlorine based
disinfectants (such as Colloidal Silver).

Silver - In the News As
reported by the Silver Institute, First Quarter 2004
AgIONS Technologies incorporated received
approval by the FDA in October 2003 for use in the food industry. The FDA
informed AgIONS Technologies that the product has been added to the FDA's list
of food contact substances.
The AgIONS Type AK product is comprised of 5%
silver contained within an inert crystalline carrier. When subject to small
amounts of moisture, AgIONS begins to release silver ions,
which then act to eliminate bacterial growth on treated surfaces.
AgIONS is specifically designed and engineered
as a surface treatment system, with wide applications in the food processing
industry. Since most food processing plants have a zero tolerance policy for
bacterial spoilage, the use of silver to treat surfaces and equipment used in
food processing will greatly reduce bacterial growth, even under the most
challenging food processing conditions.
