In our office nutritional therapy and supplement recommendations are a large part of what we do. We believe that there are 3 things that effect the bodies ability to properly function and heal itself:
Traumas
Toxins
Thoughts
So a large part of what we do is to take the patients that come to us and formulate a nutritional program for them to boost the body’s ability to properly heal and remove toxins and deficiencies from their system that is limiting their body’s ultimate potential. We’re constantly looking for the best products on the market and for products that have multiple functions so as to help keep the cost of protocols down since you would not have to take as much. We’ve caught flak in the past for things we recommend, but NOTHING like the flak and the questions we get for recommending a product that has been in production for hundreds of years…..Colloidal Silver.
Antibiotic-resistant germs are now considered an epidemic in the United States. The drug companies are having to create more and more drugs because the diseases they had made them for years ago, have changed and now the same drugs don’t work like they used to. Did you know that each antibiotic is created to kill off around 6-8 different bacteria? Not that many really. Guess how many silver has been shown to kill??? 650!! That’s right, that’s not a typo. Colloidal Silver has been shown to kill off over 650 different germs that we come into contact with on a daily basis.
The History….
Some of the first recorded uses of silver were as far back as 4000 B.C. The Eastern Persians used to put all their water in silver lined vessels to prevent disease. The Romans, Babylonians, and Greeks all write of using silver in their culture as well. The first settlers to America were said to place silver dollars in milk to prolong its freshness at room temperature as the silver killed off harmful bacteria. In the 1930s, hospitals routinely used silver nitrate in the eyes of infants to protect against blindness in the chance that the mother had a venereal disease. This is still being employed in many different countries today. Interesting that it was used for so many years isn’t it?? Antibiotics weren’t introduced until the early 1940s. Penicillin was the very first antibiotic widely used.
So what’s the big issue?? Why is it supposed to be bad??
Recently there was an article published on Consumer Reports “Health” section on their website touting the top 12 supplements to stay away from and guess who was on the list??? Colloidal Silver! So what is the big argument against silver? Well, a couple years ago, a man named Paul Karason got on the Today Show and was dubbed “Papa Smurf” because of his blue skin he said was the result of taking colloidal silver for the past 14 years. On the same article, “doctors” claim that it can be harmful to the kidneys and the liver. Interestingly enough, there are no studies on the page associated with the article and no names of these mysterious “doctors”. So what about this “blue man” skin color issue?? Is it really a problem?? Yes, if you don’t make the colloidal silver correctly and you actually absorb it! There is a very intricate, specific way to use purified water to make the colloidal silver and to use an electric charge to create the colloidal effect, neither of these Papa Smurf did in his home-made concoction. When not suspended in solution correctly, the cells of the body can absorb the silver, tinting the skin blue. That is why you should never make your own and you should buy from a reputable company.
All of the attacks on silver are unfounded and not backed up by any scientific evidence. Actually it is quite the opposite. Silver is shown to kill disease-causing organisms within 6 minutes of exposure. In the medical journal the Lancet, they examined the many uses and successes with colloidal silver. Brigham Young University tested colloidal silver against a host of different bacteria and found it effective against: Lyme, Herpes, Legionnaire, Staphylococcus, Aureus, Samonella, Choleraesuis, Streptococci, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Neisseria, Gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Gangrene and Candida. And unlike antibiotics, bacteria do NOT become resistant to silver. Why?? Well, it’s really in the way that the silver actually kills the bacteria. Silver is a catalyst that disables the enzyme that all one-celled bacteria, fungus, and viruses use for their oxygen supply. So in effect, it suffocates them! But it doesn’t harm any of the body’s normal enzymes or any of your good bacteria because of the charge put on the silver when put into solution.
Keep your hands to yourself!! Geez!!
I get so sick of the medical profession selling people their bag of goods using fear as the main motivator. But if they want to freak people out and get them to go buy their drugs, then so be it. But they can’t stop with that, they have to create lies and fear around supplements people are successfully using because it competes with the drugs they are producing!
In our office we’ve seen amazing results with the colloidal silver. I’ve seen many patients who were diagnosed with MRSA (Staph Infection) be totally cured of the infection after going on a regiment of the silver. Various other infections (eyes, toes, bladder, lung, skin) virtually disappear. One mom I was helping in the office had been very resistant to the silver we were recommending for a long long time because she had a family member who had made it in his garage
and she was really afraid of it and thought it was a hoax. So at one point when her son became ill enough that nothing else was working she asked me what she should do and I begged her to try the silver and he was over his illness in less than a day!! Trust me, it’s not a scam, it really works.
We carry it in the office in 3 different sizes. A 16 oz re-fill bottle. A 4 oz spray bottle and a 2 oz nasal spray bottle. This is one supplement that we recommend to everyone, especially if you have children because not only does it wipe out bacteria and other contaminants, but it prevents their contact to begin with!
In the office, aside from use with patients, we use colloidal silver as a disinfectant and surface cleaner. We clean all of the equipment and the toys in the office with the silver to make sure there’s no bacteria left on any surface.
So there are multitudes of uses for this particular supplement. I definitely thing it is one of the best kept secrets of the natural health industry. Now, I can’t vouch for every brand out there because I’m not sure how they are producing theirs. I can vouch for ours that we buy out of Plano from a very reputable company there. I know how he makes the solutions, and it is only 10ppm as opposed to 100 ppm like I’ve seen in the store. The least amount you need to get the job done the better.
I wouldn’t be without my colloidal silver. I travel with it and we keep it in practically every room in our house! It has definitely become, like on “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” our “Windex”!! Because it fixes everything!!

Thanks Dr. JB!!! You are such an inspiration!! I loved this article!
For some weird reason, colloidal silver works for anything that itches around here, even poison ivy.
Consumer Reports; Where are the Bodies and Where are the “Blue People”?
This month’s article from Consumer Reports displays an article on what they call the ‘Dirty Dozen’ 12 nutritional supplements including Colloidal Silver. In the article, CR says colloidal silver “has a possible risk of: Bluish skin, mucous membrane discoloration, neurological problems, kidney damage”. Nowhere do they offer any proof. None.
If colloidal silver is a health hazard, where are the bodies? Where are the blue people? Think about it; for simplicity, let’s say that there a 300 million people in the USA. Arguably, there are 10 million people who take Colloidal Silver daily. In your entire lifetime, how many people have you met who are blue? Probably none.
How many people have died using Colloidal Silver? None. Here is proof;
Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, January 19, 2010
(OMNS, January 19, 2010) “There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System.”
“The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.”
“Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John’s wort, valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines, ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, melatonin, or any homeopathic remedies.”
“Furthermore, there were zero deaths in 2008 from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, colloidal silver, selenium, iron, or multimineral supplements. Two children died as a result of medical use of the antacid sodium bicarbonate. The other “Electrolyte and Mineral” category death was due to a man accidentally drinking sodium hydroxide, a highly toxic degreaser and drain-opener.”
“No man, woman or child died from nutritional supplements. Period.”
“61 poison centers provide coast-to-coast data for the U.S. National Poison Data System, which is then reviewed by 29 medical and clinical toxicologists. NPDS, the authors write, is “one of the few real-time national surveillance systems in existence, providing a model public health surveillance system for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience response and situational awareness tracking.”
So let’s see if the facts bear out. Pharmaceutical Drugs cause 106,000 DEATHS in 2008, while there were ZERO deaths from Nutritional Supplements. When the light shines on facts, the truth comes out. What is the real agenda of Consumer Reports? It is hard to say, but a prestigious publication like CR is seriously in danger of losing their credibility. Any aware consumer will want to know the facts and not depend upon a publication that merely makes accusations.
This article is poorly researched, unsupported and could possibly be the result of Big Pharma trying to sway consumers through a well-respected publication away from safe and effective dietary supplements towards toxic and deadly pharmaceutical drugs. Consumer Reports has certainly lost me as someone who believes what they say. Unbiased? You decide!

Russell,
Thanks for the weigh-in on the colloidal silver issue. I loved the extra information you brought up and know it’s going to be helpful for people searching the site. Thanks again!
can you put colloidal silver in your eye for an eye infection? Can you put it on anything you want to go away?
Margo,
Yes! You can use it for pretty much any time of infection or rash and it will help. Just put 2-3 drops in the eye every 3-4 hours for eye infection and it should go away!
So, I have fungus on my toenails. (Had it for years, but don’t want to use meds that could damage my liver.) Will it work on that? And do I drink it or use it to soak or as a topical?
Jamie,
Colloidal Silver will totally help the fungus on your feet. I would couple that with Vitamin A (topically). Spray the colloidal silver on your feet AND take it orally to be able and kill any fungus out of your system. The Vitamin A topically will heal the skin quicker for you. Hope that helps!
Awesome! I am going to the store today… I’ll give it a try!
Colloidal silver has been documented to have been used since 1914 in Medical Journals! FDA approved medicines have killed people, colloidal silver has not.
In fact the people that contracted argyria were allergic to silver!
Which explains why such there are such low statistics of people with argyria!
For example:
Take the last hundred years of silver use:
100 years divided by 500 million people in the USA……and they can only come up with 3 good 50 year old pictures of people with argyria…… and one hoaxster, that is the poster child of big pharma.
The numbers just do not add up.
The bottom line:
Do not make your own colloidal silver
Do not drink chemical colloidal silver it will give you argyria.
The good news:
New process’s enable colloidal silver to:
1. Be made with NO chemicals.,
2. achieve a higher PPM
3. achieve the smallest particle size on the planet!
There is virtually no risk (unless you’re allergic to silver).
Thanks for the comment gold2live! Great info for people to see that silver has been around helping people be well long before medication was ever on the scene.
