History is repeating itself

The Flu is backing with a vengeance this year, we take shots and shots, the flu still keeps coming. Now for something  that has helped humans over the years with sickness or flu : Colloidal silver. Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938 used for treating flu and other ailments. At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body's most important fluids are colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles. for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led to studies with colloidal silver. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite "high-tech." Production methods, however, were costly. The harmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside in favor of fast working and financially lucrative drugs.

Silver has been proven to be useful against hundreds of infectious conditions. Fixing my colds and flu will work just nicely.

Silver is one of the most universal antibiotic substances. It is non-toxic when administered in the colloidal form.
Colloidal silver is back in favor, making this product a natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. The colloidal silver reportedly, does not do harm to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry and disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism.


Maybe it is time for a little silver.
