The magic of nature

Recently, I have become a HUGE fan of Colloidal silver. I use it for all cuts, bumps and bruises. And it does wonders for dry cracked skin, bug bites and pimples. I've been looking into natural remedies, rather than prescription meds, because I believe that for most things, God has supplied us a means of healing it. To me, the C.S. has worked wonders. I wondered why I've never heard of it, or been told about it by one of my doctor's. And I guess there are 2 very easy answers to that.

1. The pharmacuetical companies would go under if people could cure themselves. The FDA would not allow that to happen, as the Pharmacueticial companies make a lot of people rich. Think about it...doctor's prescribe antibiotics for EVERYTHING now, even if they aren't fully sure what you have. It's common knowledge that anitibiotics don't work on virus', and that your best defense against the common cold is lots and lots of Vitamin C (among a few other herbs). Yet, my mom and brother were both recently prescribed anitibiotics for the common cold. Is that a ploy to make more money? Or to make the customer feel better that they got "something from the doctor"?

2. Most doctor's are only trained to give antibiotics. They do not have a knowledge of anything natural. Everytime I see my doctor, I ask her about this or that, and she asks me what it is for, and how it works. She's clueless. Yet she can tell you anything you want to know about antibiotics.

I find it amazing. We're led to believe that antibiotics are our only hope. But how many of those antibiotics are losing their potency? Germs are becoming resistant to medications, and truthfully, medications destroy our immune systems. I wish I would have started looking into this a long time ago. I've been on countless antibiotics through out the years, and have you ever noticed that if you read warnings on the leaflets, alot of the times, the side effects are even more dangerous than what the medication is supposed to be used for?

Anyways, I ended up finding the C.S. and I have been using it on everything externally. I am still a little scared to take it internally, until my cyst is gone, but I hope that it will also have promising effects. Here's a little background on it that I found interesting......(and just incase someone at the FDA sees this, no I am not a licensed healthcare professional, and this is not meant to be used to diagnose or treat diseases, yadda yadda yadda).........

The historical use of silver to preserve and extend the life of food and water is long and indisputable. For thousands of years, it has been used for the same reasons we are using it now in our mineral and water supplement form. From mankind's earliest history, silver has been used in the making of food and drink vessels, as well as eating utensils. Here is an anecdote from the writings of Herodotus, the Greek philosopher, before the birth of Christ. The Greek historian Herodotus, called the "Father of History", is one of our prime sources for information known about the fall of Babylon. Herodotus lived a century after the time of Daniel and traveled widely in the East. In his "Histories", we learn of the campaign of Persia's King Cyrus against Babylon. The details include the fact that no Persian king, including Cyrus, would drink the water of any stream other than the Choaspes, a river that flowed past the Persian capital of Susa. Wherever the king went, a long train of four-wheeled mule wagons followed him transporting silver jars filled with the river's water. The water in silver jars would keep fresh for years during the long campaigns.

The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and peoples around the world used silver in one form or another to preserve food and water. In Europe during the "Dark Ages”, silver utensils, cups and bowls were utilized to aid in protecting the wealthy from the full brunt of pandemics. The expression "born with a silver spoon in their mouth" comes from these “Dark Ages”, when the wealthy gave their children silver spoons to suck on to ward off diseases." In the days of the settling of the American frontier, pioneers commonly used silver coins to retard the spoilage of milk and water.

The use of some silver preparations in modern, mainstream medicine has survived until this "Modern Age." Among them are the use of dilute silver nitrate in newborn babies' eyes to protect from infection and the use of "Silvadine," a silver based salve, in virtually every burn ward in America to fight infection. A silver coated nylon material was patented as "Silvalon" and licensed by FDA as an anti-microbial bandage. Clearly, silver has historically been one of man’s most reliable tools in supporting the immune system against various maladies, even before he knew what caused these maladies.

Today, silver is also being used in swimming pool filters, food cutting boards, bandages, and water filters for NASA. Scientific research and evidence indicates that if silver comes into contact with one-celled organisms, they will not survive. Evidence indicates that one-celled organisms do not have an intrinsic resistance to, nor can they through mutation or natural selection, acquire a resistance to silver's anti-microbial actions, as they are often able to do with “patented” products. This is why silver has historically been one of man’s most reliable tools in supporting the immune system against various maladies, even before he knew what caused these maladies.

Just some background - Silver was the main antibiotic used until the 1930's, when the government decided to find cheaper alternatives to use (Pennicillian). And yes, silver can have bad side effects, just as any other antibiotic. Mostly, it has been said to turn people who ingest too much of it blue (Argyria). Funny how if it is such a dangerous thing, doctor's put it into newborn babies eyes, to prevent infection. Hmmm...
