Facts and Myths About Colloidal Silver (Part 2)

Further to the first part of this posting, I have still received a comment (on a completely different posting) warning about Argyria (a condition that turns the skin blue). This is good as I welcome discussion. I have addressed the question of safety from argyria in Part 1 of this posting, as well as misleading claims by a number of colloidal silver manufacturers.

To give an analogy, we could not live without water, but drinking sea water would make us sick. Now I am not suggesting that we cannot live without colloidal silver. What I am suggesting is that there is a lot variation in the quality of the colloidal silver, so care should be taken when purchasing.

If you don’t want to end up looking like something out of the X-men, then don’t use the home made generators (but even with them argyria is rare). The brand that I recommend is manufactured by American Biotech Labs.

Why do I recommend this brand?

Because:

American Biotech Labs have new patents for their manufacturing technology as well as their colloidal silver solution .
Note: Getting a new patent requires exacting evidence to satisfy the US Patent Office, so these claims have been independently validated at the highest level.
American Biotech Labs are world leaders at actually providing scientific test results to back their claims, having conducted over 50 studies, utilising 38 independent laboratories (governmental, private and universities), putting pressure on other manufacturers to provide evidence too. Test methods and results are listed on the full on-line copy of the patent for all to see.
American Biotech Labs also have approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Don’t get me wrong, there are other very good colloidal silver products out there, it is just that no other manufacturer has this level of supporting scientific evidence or high level third party validation. In fact American Biotech Labs have been awarded the first patent associated with colloidal silver manufacture since 1924. That means that they really are the only company to actually have the US Patent Office validating their claims for their product.

Many people who use colloidal silver believe that the greater the number of silver ppm, the better the product. Some products with proudly claim 100’s or even 1000’s of silver ppm. These people will therefore be shocked when they check out the American Biotech Labs patent and find that it is effective at between only 2.5 and 10 silver ppm.

That is not a typo, it really is just 2.5 to 10ppm. And that is based on evidence from 38 independent laboratories and validated by the US Patent Office.
