There is a great deal of information available on
the web concerning the "pre-FDA" uses of silver by practicing
medical doctors. While it is certainly true that silver was considered
a powerful medicine before the advent of antibiotics, this section
endevours to focus on the present day medical applications of silver,
and current news regarding developments. The sections below delve into
the practing and research world of modern medical science, and clearly
demonstrate that the prevelant belief that silver is simply a snake-oil
cure peddled by unscrupulous scam artists is: Simply not true!
Silver in the News... January 2008 |
 A group of special interest organizations, funded at least in part by the pharmaceutical industry, has petitioned the EPA to regulate nanosilver products as pesticides. These groups contend that nanosilver-containing products pose a risk to the environment... But is this the whole truth?

Practicing Physicians: Silver Use By MD's and other
Medical Professionals
Antelman MS. - Methods of using electron active compounds for managing
cancer
Thirty Central American female patients diagnosed with breast cancer,
age 32 to 52, were treated with with Ag404 ( Injectable
Tetrasil ). This polyvalent silver oxide, also known as tetrasilver
textroxide, was administered intravenously to achieve a blood plasma
concentration of 10PPM.
After 30 days following the initial injections, all 30 individuals
tested negative for cancer.

Dr. Robert O. Becker - Researching Medical Doctor
Dr. Robert O. Becker, a researching orthopedic medical
doctor, was one of the early pioneers of silver experimentation for
medical applications. Dr. Becker re-discovered the broad-spectrum antibacterial
properties of silver, and clinically demonstrated both the tissue healing
properties of silver ions and the antimicrobial properties of silver.
By surgically inserting silver electrodes, and applying a small amount
of electrical current, Dr. Becker proved his famous "current of
injury" theory and demonstrated the incredible healing properties
of silver by successfully mending infected non-union bone fractures.
Dr. Becker's in-vitro experimentation testing silver ions against
cancer cells and subsequent observations documenting beneficial morphogenic
changes to living cells has paved the way to the eventual "discovery" of
advanced medical technologies involving silver iontophoresis and possibly
even human regeneration.
Dr. Becker has never condoned the use of any colloidal silver products
in the human body.

Dr. Becker Robert O. Quote, The Body Electric:
"...We were overjoyed to see that
the silver hadn't corroded and the wound looked great. Carefully
I took a bacterial culture and applied a new silver nylon dressing...
"..by then all of our bacterial cultures were sterile -- all five kinds
had been killed. The soft healing tissue, called granulation tissue, was spreading
out and covering the bone. In two weeks, the whole base of the wound, which had
over eight square inches of raw bone, was covered with this friendly pink carpet.
The skin was beginning to grow in, too, so we could forget about the grafts we
thought we'd need to do...
"By mid-1978 we'd successfully treated fourteen osteomyelitis patients with
the positive silver mesh wire..."
Dr. Bart Flick, M.D.
Dr. Bart Flick of Argentum
Medical LLC, another early pioneer in silver medical research,
invented FDA approved Silverlon wound contact dressing ( see our
section on Silver Medical Products ). Dr. Flick, as a practicing
medical doctor, has been involved with over 300 wound treatment cases
utilizing silver nylon as a wound dressing, with conditions ranging
from chemical burns, to post operative wounds, to brown recluse spider
bites, and even diabetic ulcers.
Dr. Bart Flick Quote:
"The antimicrobial activity of
silver rests upon the interaction of silver with the bacteria's
cellular membrane. This interaction can occur through the presence
of a silver ion in solution or the release of silver in an ionic
moiety directly from the surface of metalic silver when a bacterial
cell membrane comes in direct contact with the metallic surface."

Center for Clinical Nutrition, a certified clinical nutritionist
and Naturopath, is a nutritional practitioner and has been involved
in clinical research since the 1980's.
The Biomante Center for Clinical Nutrition has been involved in researching
nutritional protocols for HIV and AIDS sufferers, among other chronic
illnesses.
Michael Biamonte Quote:
"...At this point I went back to the drawing
board. I remained level headed enough to see that while Dr. Clark's
program may not be making people HIV negative, it still was helping
people a great deal, so there were things right about it and truth
to be had in it..."
"...The researcher mentioned that he had tested
silver against HIV in a test tube and it had killed it. I then
had the idea to try silver on these HIV patients and monitor them
with the viral load tests. I was careful to only use silver that
had been tested by independent labs and had its effectiveness verified.
In addition to the silver, I gave them some other supportive factors.
After 6 months of working on this protocol, it was completed..."
[ please note that colloidal silver was not the only
substance used ]
"...After an average of 8 months to 1 year on
this program, 90% of the patients are reporting that their viral
load tests are scoring less than 400 copies, which in English means
the HIV virus is no longer detectable..."

"I am involved in on-going research in the use of silver hydrosols
for different clinical conditions. I have a book on this subject
coming out this year.
In dealing with such defiant immune challenges, physicians are confronted
with increasing numbers of new bacterial and viral mutations. The
Institute of Medicine, under the National Academy of Sciences, estimates
that the annual cost associated with these new infectious situations
may be as high as $30 Billion. With the recent SARS outbreak, the
cost to China alone last year has already been $70 Billion. "

Center
Infectious Diseases, Infection Control and
Employee Health: Internal Medicine
Dr. Issam Raad focuses on research specializing in
device-related infections, molecular microbiology in evaluating the
epidemiology of multidrug-resistant bacterial and fungal infections
and in diagnosing invasive fungal infections, and the evaluation of
novel antimicrobial agents in the prevention and treatment of cancer-related
infections.
Dr. Raad Quote:
"...A novel antiseptic silver iontophoretic
catheter that produces silver ions over long periods has also been
developed. The ions are generated by a low electrical current produced
by a double helical wire structure around the catheter subcutaneous
segment. This catheter has been shown to be efficacious in vitro
and in vivo in preventing catheter colonization. This technology
is remarkable because, unlike catheters coated with antimicrobial
agents, it offers long-term protection and less potential for development
of resistant organisms..."

Dr. Eileen M. Wright , M.D., F.A.C.E.P - Great Smokies
Medical Center, Asheville NC
Doctor Eileen M. Wright graduated from The University
of South Florida College of Medicine in 1975, and served for two years
in General Surgery in the US Navy Medical Corps. She served as assistant
professor, and, later, assistant clinical professor in Surgery, Division
of Emergency Medicine at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Dr. Wright suggests the use of a high quality colloidal
silver as a part of a treatment protocol for infections:
"...At the very first sign of any symptoms continue
taking the above products and also take one teaspoon of Argentyn-23
every twenty minutes for 4 to 6 doses, then 1 tsp. three times daily.
(The brand Argentyn-23 is an extremely small molecule of silver,
accounting for its superior antimicrobial effects. Don’t substitute
other brands.) "
