This section provides information concerning Mild
Silver Protein products commonly sold as colloidal silver.
While it is true that there are many zealous supporters of Mild Silver
Protein ( MSP ) use, we present this document to challenge all preconceptions
that are exclusively the result of marketing efforts, and not comparative
analysis between different types of silver products.
Mild Silver Protein ( MSP ) - Benefit, Risk, and Comparative
Efficacy
The Case for Mild Silver Protein
 Stating that Mild Silver Protein is not effective would not
be true. The most widely used MSP, Argyrol ( containing
between 19-23% silver by content ), has a history of successful use since
its development by Dr. Alfred C. Barnes in about 1902. Argyrol, Protargol and Collargol,
all silver compounds, are still marketed by Argenol Laboratories out of
Spain.
Mild Silver Protein traditionally
comes in a concentration from between 150 - 1500 Parts Per Million ( PPM
). In the last few years, however, popular marketing companies have been
producing diluted products ( 30 - 50 PPM ), most likely because of the increase
in reported Argyria cases associated with Mild Silver Protein
use.
The effectiveness of any silver product relies upon enough
silver reaching any treatment area in sufficient strength ( and for a long
enough duration ) to effectively act upon the bacteria, virii, or fungi.
By using Mild Silver Protein, it is extremely easy to deliver a great deal
of silver content into the body. This fact alone is responsible for the
effectiveness of mild silver protein. Experimental clinical studies have
demonstrated that injecting 400-1500 PPM Mild Silver Protein into the human
body reduces HIV viral counts.
"First, IV MSP 400 ppm appears to be a safe, effective
virucidal agent in HIV-positive patients. Second, it is also clear that
high concentrations are probably toxic, as demonstrated by the dramatic
drop in AP's hematological status following the 1500-ppm infusion. Third,
and most important, is the apparent ability of MSP to dramatically reduce
the viral load and cause clinical reversals of rapidly deteriorating
patients with HIV."

The Truth about Mild Silver Protein
Mild Silver Protein has been riddled with accusations of
negligent and even fraudulent advertising since its widespread use in the
early 1900's. This practice has increased dramatically with the popularization
of the internet.
Mild Silver protein is made by bonding silver particles with
an organic protein such as Knox gelatin and casein protein. Since the particles
are usually large ( 1000 nanometers as determined by SEM ), suspension
would not be possible without the stabilizer. Furthermore, in compound
form the mild silver protein is not effective against pathogens.
This fact was documented by Dr. Ronald Gibbs, who discovered bacterial
contamination in many mild silver protein products he studied. In compound
form, the silver is far less likely to come in contact with pathogens;
the ogliodynamic properties of the silver compound are negligant in comparison
to isolated silver colloids and isolated ionic silver solutions.
In other words, any true effectiveness of mild silver protein
in the body must result from biological chemical reactions that must first
break down the silver protein bond.
In fact, you will never see an antibacterial time-kill study
done with MSP at 5 Parts Per Million, because it performs extremely poorly.
Occassionally we receive complaints from those involved in multi-level
marketing of MSP. In each case, we offer a simple, cost-effective challenge:
Show us, PPM for PPM, that MSP is anywhere near as effective as quality
isolated silver products, and we will change our published information.
Nobody has ever met this challenge, because it is not possible to do so.
Furthermore, prolonged use of Mild Silver Protein presents
a very real risk of argyria, especially by those using high concentration
products intranasally. Generally and statistically speaking, the body is
capable of eliminating small concentrations of silver without difficulty.
However, when a high PPM silver compound is used intranasally, a great
deal of actual silver content is being delivered via the mucus membranes
directly to the face.
