Beating the Winter Cold and Flu Season With Colloidal SilverSteve BarwickFebruary 2016

If there's one nutritional supplement that should be in everybody's natural health care arsenal for the cold winter months, it'sdefinitely colloidal silver - nature's safest and most effective all-around immune-boosting and infection-fighting substance!

Here's a number of eye-opening ways to use colloidal silver to get your family through the winter cold and flu season as unscathedby infection as possible.

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com ...

As you know, the winter cold and flu season is on its way. And along with it we'll all experience to one degree or another thechallenges of the change-of-season, including lowered irrununity, fatigue, congestion, runny nose, earache, colds, flu, bronchitis,pneumonia and more. And while colloidal silver is not a "cure all" for these conditions, much ofthe misery brought about by theseconditions can nevertheless be alleviated through nutritional intervention with colloidal silver.

Colloidal Silver and IrrununityTake lowered irrununity, for example. Everyone's irrununity seems to drop a bit in the winter. Some people more so than others.

But back in the 1970's, when Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., conducted his groundbreaking research at Syracuse Medical Universityinto electrically generated silver ions, he discovered that people who are prone to frequent and severe colds, flu and infections tendto have the lowest levels of silver in their bodies.

What's more, he found that people who have fewer and less severe colds, flu and infections tend to have the highest levels of silverin their bodies. He also found that people with lower levels of silver in their bodies tended stay sick longer during an infectionepisode than people with higher levels of silver in their bodies. In other words, even if you do get sick, having higher levels of silverin your body appears to help slash the duration and severity of the illness, in comparison to people with lower levels of silver ...

How does this work?In one clinical study, titled "Treatment of Orthopedic Infections with Electrically Generated Silver Ions", Dr. Becker demonstratedthat silver ions give a healthy boost to human blood cell production, including white blood cells, which are an integral part of thehuman irrunune system. And in the 1980's researchers Berger, Marino and Spadaro also confirmed that electrically generated silverions boost human blood cell production.

As I stated in my book, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, these findings lead to the obvious conclusion that while a low whiteblood cell count can open the door to serious irrunune system risks, and a low red blood cell count can lead to oxygen starvationof the body's tissues and organs, electrically generated silver ions may help successfully counter these risks by stimulating bothwhite and red blood cell production.

Dr. Becker [author ofthe best selling, The Body Electric] concluded that silver was a vital component ofthe irrunune system, andthat whether or not you suffer from serious colds, flu or other infections frequently depends in large part upon how much silver youhave in your body.

As he later stated: "While analyzing hair samples and questioning the parties involved, I noticed the correlation between low silverlevels and sickness. People who showed low silver levels in their hair analysis were frequently sick. They seemed to haveinnumerable colds, flu, fevers, and various other sicknesses. I believe that a silver deficiency may be the key to the improperfunction of the irrunune system."

Dr. Kent Holtorf, of the Holtorf Medical Group, agrees, saying: "There is evidence that silver is a natural critical component ofour irrunune system. Low tissue levels of silver associated with a dietary deficiency may result in a relatively weakened irrununesystem, making one more prone to infection. Thankfully, the modemversions of colloidal silver (oligodynamic silver) are shown to have little or no toxicity, so silver supplementation seems to be arelatively safe and effective means of improving irrununity."

Again, colloidal silver is not a panacea for every infection that comes down the road. After all, even the most healthy and fit ofpeople tend to get sick from time to time. That's just a given in this life. The flesh is weak.

And there's simply no replacement for healthy living. People who overeat, drink to excess, smoke, use drugs, are addicted to sugar(which destroys irrununity), fail to exercise regularly, engage in risky activities or fail to reduce stress in their lives can't expect totake a little bit of colloidal silver each day and remain well. That's just not how life works. There's no substance or pill on theface of the earth that can keep you well if you otherwise abuse your body.

But generally speaking, colloidal silver, when used wisely and with proper discretion, appears to directly help prevent immunityfrom crashing through the floor. And that's all the more important in the cold winter months when colds and flu are so prevalent.So to the extent heightened immunity helps ward off infection and disease, colloidal silver can be a Godsend.

But nutritional intervention with colloidal silver isn't just for boosting immunity. Because of its profound infection-fightingqualities, colloidal silver can also be used to directly intervene against many of the infectious conditions one normally experiencesduring the course of the winter cold and flu season.

Stopping Colds and Flu Before They Get StartedEveryone agrees that colds and flu are the real bane of the winter season. But they don't have to be. While it's hard to stop a coldor flu with any substance once it's really taken hold in your body, you can very often stop it dead in its tracks with colloidal silver,if you catch it early enough.

If you're unaware of the simple but very unusual trick for using colloidal silver to stop colds and flu before they get started, youmight want to read my article from last winter, "Colloidal Silver and Colds: A Safe, Simple and FAST Way to Stop Colds BeforeThey Get Started!" This article explains that colds and flu often start in the ears first, and spread outward.

What's more, by acting at the very moment you first feel a cold or flu coming on, and treating the ears with colloidal silver, youcan stop the infection from spreading to the sinuses, throat, lungs and chest. But even if you end up with a stubborn cold or flubecause you didn't act quickly enough, don't despair.

While modern medical science hasn't been able to come up with anything to get rid of a cold or flu once it's gotten started,oftentimes nutritional intervention with colloidal silver usage can bring tremendous relief, and even help dramatically shorten theduration of a cold or flu bug. .

First, if you have a nasty cold or flu that's really got you down, you can put some colloidal silver into a cool mist vaporizer and letit run steadily in the room where you're resting. By breathing in the silver-laden mist, you'll often find dramatic relief for yourchest, lungs, and nasal passages.

As colloidal silver user Diane L., from Erie, MI wrote some time back:"I have put a few ounces in my humidifier/vaporizer at night to sanitize the air and breathe colloidal silver into my lungs to helpbreak up chest congestion. If! feel Bronchitis coming on, I will also use the humidifier/vaporizer during the day and increase myinternal dose up to 2 ounces, 3 times a day."

Not only that, but by using colloidal silver in a vaporizer or humidifier, the colloidal silver-laden mist will spread throughout theroom on the ambient air and help kill germs and viruses on contact surfaces, thus helping prevent other family members from pickingup the infection. So this technique gives you a two-fold protection: It helps relieve cold and flu symptoms, and helps keep the bugfrom spreading throughout your household.

Now some people just add a few ounces of colloidal silver to the water in the holding tank of their humidifier or vaporizer. Butothers choose to fill the entire tank with colloidal silver, particularly if they're battling a particularly nasty cold, flu or bronchitisinfection.

Finally, many people find dramatic relief from colds, flu or bronchitis simply by taking a few teaspoons full of colloidal silver eachday. As colloidal silver user W.E. Quirein recently wrote: "My own experience has been phenomenal. I had bronchitis for about3 weeks when my Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator arrived. I made a batch and started taking it. Within two days I didn'thave any bronchitis symptoms. I was only taking a teaspoon per day. I was amazed."

Of course, other people may need more colloidal silver than that to help stop a persistent or very nasty cold, flu or bronchitis. Butthe point is, it really works!

As Harold H. from Barstow, CA attests:"I was down for the count, having caught some kind of virus. While my head was plugged up and body aching, ... I took 4 ouncesthe first day and felt 50% better in less than 8 hours! The second, day I again took 4 ounces; incredibly I felt the same overwhelmingresults. By the third day, I had risen from my bed and returned to work! The massive amount of energy I now receive from takingan ounce a day has brought new life to this old 53 year old man!"URLishttp://www.thesilveredge.comlbeating-the-winter-cold-and-flu-season-with-colloidal-silver.shtml#.VrtgFUCDm4M

3Colloidal Silver and EaracheHere in the Nevada desert where I currently live, the change-of-season is barely underway in October, and already both my wifeand I have felt earaches brewing. But we nipped them in the bud quickly and easily by applying colloidal silver directly into ourears. If you're not familiar with the simple method for knocking out earaches in a single day with colloidal silver, you might wantto read natural health author Angela Kaelin's informative article, "Colloidal Silver: Healing Ear Infections the Safe, Easy Way."

I strongly recommend reading it before this winter season really gets started in earnest. As one reader recently wrote about the easein which earaches can be healed with colloidal silver:

"On two different occasions my 8 year old granddaughter complained that her ears were hurting her. Both times her mother justput 3 drops of colloidal silver in each ear ...She had Breanna lay on her side for at least 10 minutes with each ear facing up so thatthe silver had time to work and not just run right back out. This was done twice a day for 2 days and the problem was gone."-- S. Gientz, MI

Colloidal silver user D.T. Ricard, or Texas agrees, saying: "We use it in our ears (and in the grandchildren's) to keep infectionsaway. Anyone that has an earache gets drops in their ear. The grandkids never had to go to the doctor for ear infections."

And as colloidal silver user J.F. attests: "My 10 year old has had earaches 3 different times that were completely gone in themorning (and didn't return) when we used the colloidal silver the night before as drops in her ear." Adding a few drops (i.e., twoor three at most) of colloidal silver into the affected ear, and allowing it to soak in for six or eight minutes really works, folks.

Colloidal Silver and Sore ThroatWhen Dr. James Baisch, M.D. and his wife Phyllis Baisch, C.N.C., wrote their bestselling book, Prescription for NutritionalHealing, they stated that colloidal silver could be gargled to stop a sore throat.

Other experienced colloidal silver users prefer to carry a small pump spray bottle full of colloidal silver and spray the inside of thethroat repeatedly throughout the day to relieve the burning pain of sore throat, and to bring the infection under control.

Even the famous Dr. Oz, formerly of Oprah Show fame, has finally came around earlier this year and acknowledged the fact thatcolloidal silver works wonderfully for stopping sore throats. In fact, earlier this year he explained to a female guest on his The Dr.Oz Show, who was complaining of repeated sore throats, that all you have to do is spray colloidal silver into your mouth or use itas a gargle two or three times a day in order to stop the bacteria or virus causing the infection.

Here's a recent testimonial on stopping a sore throat with colloidal silver, from an Oregon resident who's an avid colloidal silveruser: "Our teenager got a sore throat. I had her take I teaspoon of colloidal silver and hold it under her tongue for 30 seconds andthen gargle it. The sore throat was gone in 2 days." -- K.M., Oregon

Frankly, I've personally used colloidal silver to knock out stubborn sore throats on a number of occasions over the past 17 years.But generally I have to gargle with a full ounce of 10 ppm strength colloidal silver at a time, three or four times a day, to getmaximum relief from the throat infection.

Kansas resident B. Bloom tells us exactly how she uses colloidal silver to beat a sore throat: "If one of us begins to get a sore throat,we use a small spray bottle and spray it in the mouth, throat and nose. We try to keep it in contact with the affected area for six toten minutes. It's hard to keep it in the throat without swallowing. Each time you swallow, spray more in the throat. Keep in therefor six to ten minutes. We do it two or three times a day. By the second day the sore throat and oncoming cold is gone. Sure beatsthe agony of sore throats and taking meds."

Colloidal Silver and Sinus CongestionSinus problems tend to get worse during the winter season for many people, particularly for those who suffer from sinus congestion.But if you've got plenty of colloidal silver on hand, there are four easy ways to use it to beat a pesky sinus problem.

To learn how, check out my article "4 Effective Ways to Use Colloidal Silver to Deal with Pesky Sinus Problems (Including SinusCough)," which reveals the four simple, inexpensive tools you'll need in order to be able to successfully use colloidal silver againstsinus problems.

And be sure to read Angela Kaelin's eye-opening article "Breathe Clearly Again, Using Colloidal Silver and a Neti Pot", whichexplains how to keep the sinuses healthy and infection-free by rinsing them out regularly with colloidal silver, using a neti pot.

Here's what one brand new colloidal silver user wrote about using colloidal silver for a nasty sinus problem: "I decided to trycolloidal silver nasal spray after suffering from a sinus infection/cold for over two weeks. I happened to be watching the Dr. Ozshow and he was discussing his remedies for the common cold When he got to colloidal silver I was convinced to try it. .. .1bought the colloidal silver nasal spray this weekend and have used it conservatively for the past two days.

I noticed a difference almost immediately and slept throughout the night without congestion; something I had not been able to dofor weeks. I will continue to use the spray for the next day or two making sure to use the lowest dose. I think colloidal silver nasalspray has received a thumbs-up from me."

What's more, colloidal silver user Jake, from Richland Center, WI recently wrote: " ... during my last cold I had started showinggreen nasal discharge. So I cleaned out an empty plastic squeeze spray bottle and filled it with colloidal silver using it about 2squirts four times daily. Within a few days the green discharge cleared up and I discontinued it after five days."

Yes, simply spraying colloidal silver into the nasal passages several times a day, using a small plastic squeeze spray bottle, canknock out a nasty sinus infection in record time. So don't let sinus congestion or sinus infection get you down this winter. Usecolloidal silver to eradicate it quickly, safely and easily!

In Conclusion ...Whether you use small amounts of colloidal silver orally to boost immunity and spur the body's natural defenses, or use any ofthetips above to help knock out winter sinus infections, sore throats, cold, flu or bronchi tis ... you'll find this amazingly effective naturalsubstance to be an indispensible part of your winter-time nutritional supplement arsenal.

As reader Nancy S. from Topeka, Kansas recently wrote: "My husband and I each drink a shot glass full of colloidal silver (about1 oz) every night before bed. We've been doing this for about 4 years now. Neither one of us has been sick since. And I shouldmention, we've been around people who were sick and didn't catch anything."

And as M.K. from Oregon recently wrote: "Our family has been using colloidal silver for awhile ...about 3 years for myself. I verycarefully started with low doses and increased to where I now use one gulp once or twice a day. I no longer have continual cold/flusymptoms, but instead am healthier than most of the others at work, even those who I used to notice never get sick!

My wife had pneumonia once, and colloidal silver alone made her well. Another time she had strep throat, and colloidal silver waswhat took it away. We. no longer use other antibiotics ...no need. I have been able to help others as well. ' -- M.K., OR

And as a very good friend of mine has recently written: "My husband wanted me to share this with you: Shortly after we got marriedhe had a dual organ transplant. So he has to take anti-rejection drugs that keep his immune system function artificially low in orderto stop his body from rejecting the transplanted organs.

This means he has a severely compromised immune system due to the anti-rejection drugs he must take for the rest of his life. Sohe has to be very careful during the winter cold and flu season, and avoid getting sick at all costs .... To compensate for the loweredimmunity, he drinks a small amount of colloidal silver every day ... and has done so since 1998.

He has had no ill effect from it at all (i.e. he is not blue). Most importantly, he has never been burdened with colds or infections likeother organ transplant recipients we know. The colloidal silver keeps him from getting every bug that comes along. He's never evenhad a flu shot. We just can't say enough good things about colloidal silver. ... It has definitely been a very worthwhile investmentin maintaining our own good health." -- Marie B., CA

I'll be back next week with another eye-opening article about colloidal silver. ..

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible use of colloidal silver,
