Thank you Dr. Ghen. I have had a few private messages inquiring about colloidal silver. Many of you may not know what colloidal means. I have taken this excerpt from "A Miraculous Health Substance" by Marvin Lee Robey:

"To gain a working conception of what colloidal chemistry is, consider that living tissues and organs are simply great masses of cells-billions of them. The energy, the very life force of these cells, is obtained from certain minerals and metals, among them iron, iodine, manganese, copper. There are some 32, with traces of as many others, in the human body. Colloidal chemistry is the science which converts those elements into particles so minute that they can be utilized by living cells."

Colloids can now be produced in the laboratory thus prolonging life by colloid action. The colloidal form can be used to restore the proper balance of the mineral and metals that comprise the life of a plant or animal. He sites an example of an orchid that was withered, yellow, dead. In this instance colloidal copper was added to water and the orchid was placed in the water. The orchid came to life and continued to bloom for 16 consecutive days.

There have been many interesting studies done with colloids and the most striking studies for me have been with colloidal silver. Mr. Robey lists 115 conditions that silver studies have been shown to help. Recent research has identified a few pathogens that silver does not treat (about 6%). This is truly amazing. There are no serious side effects.

Based on what I have read and what Larry, one of the founding Pioneers has told me about colloidal silver, I decided to test it myself. Jeannine did too. I am finding that my sats are 2-3 percent higher no matter what I am doing. I have much less mucous and I feel it is reducing inflammation. Since, I am a strong believer that COPD is an auto immune disease and that inflammation plays a big part and virus' could be involved, then it makes sense why colloidal silver is helping me breathe better.

According to Mr. Robey, there is extensive evidence that, in the presence of ionic silver, the body will produce all of the "stem cells" it can use and of the patient's own DNA rather than the foreign DNA of a donor. I personally am going to continue to experiment with it and will continue to report any new developments. Mr. Robey's Live Silver product is available on our site at www.seachangeforlife.com We are currently offering it at a discount to our members plus free shipping. You can also do a Google search to learn more about colloid metals. According to one scholar, it is the "Fourth State of Matter, the other three being land, water and air."

I was just looking at the Colloidal Silver product in SeaChange and can't find where it says anything on how to take the product or how much.

[polleroy]

The instructions on the bottle indicate that for treatment of acute causes, use 1/2 oz (1 TBS) twice a day for a 150 pound person. Others proportionately by weight. Maintenance can be adjusted to one TBS per day. I currently take 2. It also suggests that those using the product orally begin gradually for the first 2 days which is what I did. I took 1 tsp. twice a day for the first two days. The label will also tell you that the particle size is .0013 microns so if you are choosing to get silver elsewhere, make sure the particles are this size or even smaller for the most benefit. I am not aware of a product with smaller particles and am very satisfied with the Live Silver that Mr. Robey produces and we now distribute. It is safe for all body tissues, internally and topically. Mr. Robey also mentioned to me on the phone that cancer patients may want to take increased amounts. Amazing stuff really. I woke up this morning with my sats at 98 and heart rate at 64. These higher readings for my oxygen saturation have started since I began using the colloidal silver.

One of the founding members of the Pioneers, Larry, found this source of silver. I have tried it and so has Jeannine and we were favorably impressed. So much so that we are now distributors of the product on our www.seachangeforlife.com site. The fact that this product, named Live Silver, has the smallest particles is quite impressive. Mr. Robey has written a good book on the subject. He is a dear, elderly man whom I have dubbed the Father of Silver. Dr. Becker has also written some fascinating articles and a link is provided here for one of them. I personally feel that starting to take silver at least a couple of months prior to stem cell therapy is a great idea. It is virtually tasteless. I take 1 TBS in the morning and one in the evening. I really can't say enough good things about colloidal silver. All silver products are not alike, that's why we have chosen Live Silver as our product of choice.
We also have the Candida product produced by Mr. Robey for those that have candida which is the cause of such things such as yeast infections.

Colloidal Silver - Marvin Robey. Live Silver he produces the smallest ionic colloidal silver with his equipment and product
This gentleman references a Dr Robert O Becker who did extensive regenerative laboratory work and used Colloidal silver
and also low nano voltage .

Honestly, be careful with this stuff... everyone online says its safe..but I don't think its that safe. I have read and I think I may have got heavy metals in my body from this stuff.

[myspacecoo]

Many doctors will tell you that you can get heavy metals from smoking. Most of us are aware of mercury in fish as well. I will ask Dr. Ghen his opinion as to colloidal silver causing any accumulation in your system. The benefits I have seen with this product are outstanding and I don't believe it has contributed to a heavy metal build up in your system. Our own environment can lead to problems with heavy metal build up. Here is an excerpt from an article by Dr. Haas.





Toxic Minerals and Heavy Metals

? Elson M. Haas M.D.
(Excerpted from Staying Healthy With Nutrition)

This is not a discussion of loud, electronic rock 'n' roll music, but one of impact to all people living in this day and age who are being exposed to heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Though not normally found in or used by the human species, they are becoming more widely present in our environment, leading to serious concerns. There are possibly more problems from these metals, which interfere with normal bodily function, than have been considered in most medical circles. Reviewing all of our vitamins and minerals has shown us that most every substance that is useful can be a toxin or poison, as well. The metals discussed in this section are known primarily-almost exclusively-for their potential toxicity in the body, though commerically they may have great advantages.

Previously, the medical community's concern over metal toxicity was in regard to acute industrial exposure, where certain dramatic measures were performed to stimulate elimination of those metals. More recently, there has been concern over lead intoxication in children from sucking or eating lead-based paint, for example, and legislation has been enacted to reduce this possible contamination, though these measures will probably have a greater effect on future generations.

For most of these potentially toxic minerals, there are many common uses and possible contamination sources throughout our society; our concern must be with more widespread and long-term observation of and protection from these dangers. Lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and, more recently, aluminum are the main toxic minerals. Beryllium, bismuth, and bromine must be considered as well. And there are other heavy and radioactive metals that could bring future difficulties.

[fajerdoksdsaaker]

Most colloidal silvers are only 23-32ppm. You literally would have to take a massive dose daily for a long time to even get the greyish skin color. It is highly unlikely that colloidal silver could further any heavy metal toxicity.There are silvers that have up to 550ppm. And these should only be used by a trained health care practitioner.Basically, Colloidal silvers have very little down side; take them responsibly and with the guidance of an expert.

Health, Happiness and Hugs,

Study finds 140,000 bad reactions to antibiotics
2 hours, 3 minutes ago

Bad reactions to antibiotics, mostly allergic ones, send people to U.S. emergency rooms more than 140,000 times each year, government researchers reported on Wednesday.

The findings offer another reason for doctors to limit their use of the drugs, which are overused in the United States, the team at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

"This number is an important reminder for physicians and patients that antibiotics can have serious side effects and should only be taken when necessary," said the CDC's Dr. Daniel Budnitz, who led the study.

For the first report ever done on adverse reactions to antibiotics in the United States, the researchers used the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-Cooperative Adverse Drug Event Surveillance project, a sample of 63 U.S. hospitals, between 2004 and 2006.

They found more than 6,600 emergency visits were due to an adverse reaction to an antibiotic. They used formulas to extrapolate this to the whole country and estimated that 142,000 such emergency visits are made every year.

"Systemic antibiotics (pills or injections as opposed to creams) were implicated in 19.3 percent of all emergency department visits for drug-related adverse events," they wrote in the September 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases.

Penicillin and related antibiotics such as amoxicillin, widely prescribed and widely seen as safe, accounted for half the emergency visits. Other classes of antibiotics such as cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and newer antibiotics accounted for the rest.

"Persons aged 15-44 years accounted for an estimated 41.2 percent of ED visits. Infants accounted for only an estimated 6.3 percent of ED visits," they wrote.

Budnitz and colleagues said 78 percent of the adverse events in the study were allergic reactions, ranging from rash to a serious reaction known as anaphylaxis, and the remaining 22 percent were caused by errors and overdoses.

Many studies have suggested that half of the estimated 100 million antibiotic prescriptions written for respiratory tract infections in the United States are unnecessary. Most such infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are useless against them.

But, Budnitz and colleagues said, doctors still often believe their patients are exceptions to the rule and continue to write the prescriptions.

"Because antibiotics are frequently used, both appropriately and inappropriately, if doctors would reduce the number of antibiotics they prescribe to their patients by even a small percentage, we could significantly reduce the number of emergency visits for antibiotic adverse events," Budnitz said in a statement.

"Antibiotics are among the most frequently used medications in the United States. Annually, antibiotics are prescribed to an estimated 16 percent of patients during ambulatory care visits, and pharmaceutical manufacturers spend $1 billion promoting antibiotics," Budnitz wrote.

I guess my eye sight is going. I can't find the size of the Live Silver bottle on your Sea Change Therapeutics site. I assume it is 16 oz?

[Seesspoxy]

I think your eyesight is fine. I will mention this oversight to Jeannine when she returns from her vacation. The bottle is 16 oz.
