Allan Sutton's Original Colloidal Silver
History
Silver has been known as a bactericide for over a thousand years. A
colloid is quite simply a sub microscopic particle of one substance
suspended in a different substance (the medium). In Colloidal Silver,
the particles are called silver ions which have a double positive
charge, and so mutually repel. (One of the reasons they remain in
suspension), and the medium is pure or de-ionized water.
Even in ancient times it was known to prevent disease and was commonly
thought that disease could not be transferred from one person to another
if by drinking from a silver cup. Tableware today is still called
"silverware", even though it is commonly made from stainless steel.
Silver coins were dropped into milk to prevent spoilage and silver
containers were used to store foods in general. Until almost 1970, it
was common for scientists to sterilize petrii dishes by placing a silver
coin in them and silver was long used for plates for the surgical repair
of bones. The most common usage of silver was by members of royal
families, who ate from silver plates, drank from silver cups and used
silver utensils almost exclusively. Over a period of time, silver was
slightly worn off and mixed into their food and drink. The result was
that over a number of generations, royalty enjoyed freedom from
infectious diseases, unlike commoners, who ate from earthen ware jugs
and bowls and who were frequently ill.
Royalty were called "blue bloods" because their blood had a slight
bluish tint, due to the minute traces of pure, metallic silver. This
condition is known as Argyria.
Today Agyria is rare, perhaps non-existent, but results in the cosmetic
appearance of grey skin. However if using properly produced colloidal
silver, there appears to be no danger of this happening in today's
world. One of the most complete historical references on Colloidal
Silver was published in "The Lancet" dated Dec. 12th, 1914.
At the turn of the century, silver was a proven and accepted germ
fighter. Colloidal Silver became the mainstay in treating infectious
diseases. From the 1920's through to the 1940's, silver was ground into
a very fine powder and added to water. This was then used orally for
many infections and diseases and topically on burns or fungal
infections.
It was a common occurrence for adults to take 1-2 tablespoons
(equivalent of approx. 20 mls by today's standards) of Colloidal Silver
on rising. (Children would take 1-2 teaspoons or the equivalent of 10
mls). The liquid would then be held in the mouth, under the tongue for
30 seconds, before being swallowed. A form of healing crisis sometimes
occurred after two days, where the body sloughed off the build up of
toxins. This caused minor incidences of flu-like symptoms as well as
mild diarrhoea. The remedy was to increase consumption of water and to
rest as this would lessen the symptoms. After a week, many people
reported feeling better than ever!
The equivalent of these dosages is still being used by thousands of
people today! Up to 1938, over 650 bacteria, fungi and viruses were
considered treatable with Colloidal Silver. Unfortunately, with the
development of patented antibiotics, silver was almost all but
forgotten. Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, not fungi,
viruses, or yeast. The introduction of penicillin almost certainly
caused the research into Colloidal Silver to be put aside. Penicillin
was less costly, more profitable and able to be industry controlled,
unlike Colloidal Silver. Because pharmaceuticals can be patented and
Colloidal Silver cannot, pharmaceutical companies find it financially
worth while to educate doctors on their products. People have used
natural methods of fasting, colon cleansing and herbs for thousands of
years to keep themselves healthy. More and more people are returning to
natural approaches and ways to lesson the amount of pharmaceutical drugs
taken into the system and those nasty negative side-effects.
CHEMISTRY OF COLLOIDAL SILVER
Allan Sutton's original colloidal silver is formed through the
electrolysis of 99.99% fine silver in deionised, reverse osmosis
filtrated "pure" living spring water. An ion is formed when an atom
surrenders one or more electrons. The ion remains in solution searching
for some substance with which to bond that can supply the lost electron
(s). "Pure" or de-ionized water has negligible impurities, thus
supplying no such substance with which the silver ions may bond. Many
everyday substances are produced from colloids among these are rubber,
liquid soap and plastics. Colloids play an important part in the
digestion and excretion of substances in the body.
"There is as I see it, just one great development left
for our time. That is, the understanding of colloidal metals. It is the
"fourth Estate of Matter", the other three being, land, water and air.
The study of these constitutes the road to the ultimate in human
knowledge." ..Dr. Frederick S. Macey.
The body's tissues are composed of billions of living cells. The
minerals and metals in the foods we ingest provide the very life force
of these cells. Silver is converted in to particles so minute that they
can be utilised by living cells. Doctor Robert O. Becker, MD, who is
considered by many to be at the forefront of Colloidal Silver research
had this to say "What we have actually done was rediscover the
fact that silver killed bacteria, which has been known for centuries.
When antibiotics were discovered, clinical uses for silver as an
antibiotic were discarded."
Manufacture of Colloidal Silver
The purest method of manufacturing colloidal silver is the
electrolysis process. This is where silver electrodes are immersed in
distilled or de-ionised water and a current is passed between the
electrodes through this medium.
In today's world there is no such thing as pure water because of
pollution and contaminants, so manufacturers use distilled or reverse
osmosis treated water instead of our tap water which has so many
chemicals added to it.'Pure water is an insulator and restricts heavily
any flow of current, making the electrolysis process painstakingly slow.
As more silver ions enter the solution, so the conductivity increases.
Many backyard Colloidal Silver manufacturers add salts to improve the
conductivity to speed up the process. However the silver ions may bond
with the dissolved salts forming potentially toxic compounds. It is also
a common occurrence for some operators to add tea, food colouring or
other substances to achieve a golden colour. If Colloidal Silver is
made with a minute particle size, then it should be colourless.
Colloidal Silver should be stored away from light and any magnetic
fields, such as computers or microwaves as they can cause the silver to
'drop out of suspension, rendering the product useless. In the last
twenty years, hand held, personal generators which are plugged into the
mains supply have been marketed to the general public, as a cheap method
of obtaining colloidal silver. Because strict laboratory conditions are
not maintained in the house hold, the resultant "Colloidal Silver" may
actually contain negligible amounts of silver. This would result in the
unsuspecting person having the equivalent of plain water or much worse a
solution of potentially toxic salts or nitrates! It is best to purchase
Colloidal Silver from qualified manufacturers who produce Colloidal
Silver under strict laboratory conditions. That way, you can be assured
that no contaminants have entered the solution.
Research into Colloidal Silver
Numerous studies have been conducted by professionals into the
benefits of colloidal silver. Among these was Dr. Harry Margraf who
says, "Silver is the best all around germ fighter we have."
who with Dr. Carl Moyer, Chairman of Washington University's Department
of Surgery, worked on a project to develop better treatments for burns
victims. 22 antiseptic compounds were trialed and rejected. The problem
was that infections in burns often failed to respond to antibiotics.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa in particular is highly infectious to burns and
fails to respond to all common antiseptics. During his research, Dr.
Margraf found numerous references to the healing properties of silver.
These references pertained to it being a catalyst which disables the
enzymes on which anaerobic microorganisms depend. It also showed that
bacteria had never developed immunity to silver.
Dr.Margraf trialed silver nitrates, the same substance which was used
to wash baby's eyes at birth, to kill bacteria and prevent blindness,
but this proved to be unsuccessful as it disturbed the balance of body
salts and used in large amounts was painful and corrosive.
Using colloidal silver as a base, he developed a salve called silver
sulfadiazine, which is now routinely used for severe burns victims,
reducing the scarring and causing a heavy reduction in the amount of
deaths attributed to extensive severe burns cases.
Because most dressings need to be changed every 12-14 hours, causing
severe discomfort to a burns patient, but doctors can now dress burns
with a bandage which has silver included in the dressing. The
bandage only needs to be changed every 24 hours thus reducing the
patients discomfort by half! This method is used in thousands of
hospitals around the world!
Dr. Robert O. Becker has done extensive research in to the
effectiveness of colloidal silver. His experiments showed that colloidal
silver not only killed pathogens, but also apparently produces dramatic
healing of body tissues.
The colloidal silver appears to heal injuries with out dramatic
scarring, while accelerating the general healing of wounds. Dr. Becker
states in his book, The Body Electric, "Silver deficiency is
responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system".
In "Cross Currents", Dr. Becker's second book, he states that silver
was actually doing something more than killing disease organisms. He
noted that burns patients and the elderly seemed to be healing more
rapidly. There appeared to be major growth and stimulation of diseased
tissues. His research confirmed that strains of pathogens
resistant to antibiotics are killed by the action of Colloidal Silver.
Researchers say there are only 8 pathogens which are silver
resistant. Among these are Citrobacter Freundii and Vegetative B. Cereus
Spores. In his book "Use of Colloids in Health and Disease," Dr. Henry
Crooks says that Colloidal Silver is highly anti-viral. During
laboratory tests he found streptococcus and staphylococcus were killed
in three or four minutes. He also found that there was no microbe known
that was not killed in Colloidal Silver in six minutes or less in a
dilution as little as five parts per million. Dr. Crooks also states
that there is no serious side affects whatsoever from high
concentrations.
"Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick
themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. " .....Winston
Churchill
Allan Sutton was a very sick man when first he
'stumbled" over the truth of colloidal silver. But the incident was so
profound he found himself amongst those few who would not hurry on as
if nothing had happened'.
Eight years ago, Allan experienced an unfortunate chain of events
which almost cost him his life. A critical illness followed by a near
fatal miss-diagnosis by Medical staff resulted in a severe case of
chronic fatigue syndrome from which he was told there was no cure. Allan
had deteriorated so far from his former vibrant self that his friends
and loved ones barely recognised the tired, negative, recluse he had
become.
One day, a close friend offered him a bottle of clear liquid,
suggesting he sip it to ease his sore throat. This gesture would
irreversibly change the course of Allan's life . The mysterious potion
relieved him of his painful throat infection within one hour. On
enquiry, Allan learned it was called Colloidal Silver and from that
moment a small voice inside began the song of hope.
Allan was given the apparatus his friend had used to make the product
and he began to make colloidal silver for himself daily at home. His
interest in the product grew as day by day, week by week his strength
and vigour returned. He spent many hours experimenting and gathering
information and soon developed a passion that would take him on an
incredible journey of discovery.
Before long, friends and acquaintances began to exclaim over Allan's
appearance. His familiar sparkle had returned and this prompted many
folk to enquire about the possibility of obtaining some of Allan's
product for themselves. Thrilled to be given the opportunity to share
his gift, he gladly agreed and soon found that making bottles of silver
for people who needed it was the most joyful and rewarding thing he'd
ever done. So began the journey from which, to this day, he has never
wanted to return.
One day, after spending some months happily making colloidal silver
and giving it to anyone who asked, Allan found himself on the receiving
end of a phone call from a Health Food store requesting the purchase of
a certain amount of Allan Suttons's Colloidal Silver. Surprised and
unprepared he nevertheless accepted the order, knowing somehow it would
be fulfilled. Details such as price, labels, packaging, time frames,
delivery etc, could all be figured out later. Here was something that
had developed a life (and a reputation) of its own and it was no time to
hesitate.
Many people dream of making a living out of doing something they love
and today that's exactly what Allan is doing. His dream of helping the
public to help themselves by educating them about colloidal silver has
come to pass. His product is recognized as being among the best in its
field and has helped countless people in many ways. The highlight of
these was when Allan found himself in Bali when the Bomb tragedy
occurred. Like many Australians he became a general volunteer at the
hospital where his supplies of colloidal silver were greatly appreciated
for use by both medical staff and patients alike. But Allan felt
unsatisfied with his contribution It was not until he was approached
with a request for help by a Police Dr whom he had befriended that his
true role in the drama unfolded.
The victim identification team were working under extreme conditions,
it was humid and the task gruelling, painstaking, and heartbreakingly
slow. The air was stifling and the odour becoming unbearable. The
problem was they could not use a chemical to slow bacterial growth
because of the delicate forensic work taking place. The Indonesian
Colonel Dr. asked Allan if perhaps colloidal silver might be the answer.
Allan was convinced it would work so he was given carte blanche to do
whatever he could.
The result was a system which he constructed in the mortuary creating
an ongoing supply of colloidal silver. This could be blanket sprayed
over the entire contents of the area effectively sanitizing and
deodorizing without causing further complications or interference.
Thankfully, the outcome was as expected and the workers including
volunteers and professionals alike began to breath easily again within a
few hours. Allan and several volunteers carried out this procedure every
day for three weeks until the last body was lifted from the tiles.. In
fact the operation was so successful Allan was invited the following
year to speak about it in an International INTERPOL
Conference.
