Silver is one of the essential minerals required for the proper and healthy functioning of various body processes (more importantly, the immune system). According to research, silver is relatively safe to consume and quite effective in boosting the immune system, too. Outlined below are some of the known health benefits of silver.

1

Better Than An Antibiotic

Although prescription antibiotics may be effective in treating and preventing infections, overdependence or abuse of the same can have several undesired results. The most severe one is antibiotic resistance, making it almost impossible to treat infections. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), more than 23,000 people die from antibiotic resistance in the U.S., with more than two million such cases reported every year.

Silver, however, packs potent antibiotic properties that help the body fight off most disease-causing microbes and infections. The best part about this is that silver has shown to be effective even in individuals with antibiotic resistance. More and more people are thus turning to silver supplements and other natural substances to treat infections compared to conventional antibiotics.

It Helps Fight Pneumonia And Bronchitis

According to studies conducted at UCLA, silver has shown to be potent enough to purify water. According to the study, two teaspoons of silver are enough to purify one gallon of water. It thus has shown the potency of fighting off pneumonia and bronchitis. This is because silver is powerful enough to destroy MRSA quickly and efficiently. Studies and data collected over time have shown that MRSA infections cause more deaths than AIDS.

In another study conducted in 2015 in the International Forum for Allery and Rhinology, silver was shown to help fight sinus infections. Researchers also believe undetected infections by pathogens might also be to blame for various respiratory inflammations commonly associated with asthma and allergies. Silver can help prevent/fight off most causes of allergies in many people, especially pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. It also is quite effective in crushing the drug-resistant MRSA pathogen responsible for thousands of life-threatening infections.

Can Help Prevent Common Colds And Flu

When taken in small amounts, silver boosts the body's ability to fight off the common cold and flu in most people. In a study conducted by the NIH in 2011 on 100 children dealing with the common cold and nasal congestion, a group of these children was treated with beta-glucan and silver solution. The second was given the regular saline solution. The second was given the regular saline solution. From the study, 90% of the children on silver recovered completely. This was much higher than those on the saline solution. Taking silver supplements every day can thus help your body build immunity against flu and the common cold.

Heals Wounds And Skin Conditions

Open wounds can get infected pretty fast. Nevertheless, a surgeon made a startling discovery when he generated silver ions in an open wound. The silver ions eliminated the infectious microbes from the open wound and triggered increased regrowth of the bones and tissues on the same. From the surgeon's observation, silver ions can be used to prevent sepsis and even accelerate cellular and tissue repair on injured and damaged tissues.

Certain silver preparations could also be used topically to treat periodontitis, thrush, burns, and several other similar conditions. This is according to a research article published in 2012 by Pharmacognosy Communications. According to the article, silver could also be used to treat skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis. In another article documented in the 1980s by Larry C. Ford at UCLA Medical School, silver can be used to kill fungi, molds, parasites, and more than 650 different types of bacteria. Most of these sprouting microbes can be managed and prevented using silver. Numerous tests have shown that silver is safe for humans with no risk of possible side effects.

Natural Remedy For Viruses

Colloidal silver is a popular supplement today, thanks to its ability to prevent and fight off numerous viruses. The silver suspension works by disabling enzymes in bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it impossible for them to use or get oxygen. Silver creates an uninhabitable environment for these microbes, especially viruses, which eventually can suffocate and kill them altogether.

Colloidal silver is a naturally occurring mineral that has proven quite effective in supercharging the human immune system. Adding silver supplements to your diet plan can/will go a long way in boosting your immunity system while still protecting you from some of the most commonly known infections. The beauty of consuming the natural supplement is that you never have to worry about side effects or complications.

Colloidal silver has proven to be a potent and effective antibiotic. It can be used as an alternative to conventional antibiotics. You can thus use the supplement to treat allergies and the common cold, fight infections, and even purify drinking water.

You, however, might want to talk to your doctor or physician before using silver supplements. This is especially crucial if you're on other types of medication. The doctor will know if silver will interact with these medications or not, thus advising accordingly.
