How Does Colloidal Silver Actually Work?

Colloidal Silver is known as an immune enhancer. Silver works by disabling the oxygen-metabolizing enzyme that one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use to reproduce themselves. The disease causing pathogen therefore suffocates and dies and is eliminated via the normal channels. Resistant strains have never been known to develop unlike antibiotics which are effective against only about a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses.

Colloidal Silver has been tested and shown to be effective against more than 650 different disease causing pathogens. None of these organisms were found to survive in the presence of minute amounts of silver.

Medical research in the early 1900's indicated that silver is taken up and stored by the kupfer cells in the liver. These same cells are one of the body's defense mechanisms against infection. They could be expected to engulf invading infectious organisms and bring them into intimate contact with their stored silver. This is a different mechanism of defense and it appears there may be some basis for researching silver as a preventative and treatment of infectious disease.
