Don't Be Fooled - It's Not What It Appears to Be!

---

Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was widely promoted as a "cure-all".


It was the only product in those days that would kill fungus, virus and bacteria. Then long came antibiotics such as penicillin and sulfanilamide, medical use of colloidal silver ceased. From the 1990's there has been a renewed interest in colloidal silver and an alternative medicine treatment.




The FDA in the USA and the same relative authorities in other countries have made it illegal for any "cure all" claims that were advertised prior to 1938, to be made.




Some vendors say that "the darker the solution, the more potent the concentration of silver", implying that their dark brown, high ppm product is what you should purchase. It could be dangerous since any quantity over 350 micrograms (mcg) per day exceeds EPA standards for silver in drinking water. In analysis the product does support the labeled claims.




Colloidal silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, such as viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate these organisms without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food.




Did you ever hear from some of the senior members in your family about putting silver dollars (before 1938) into milk to preserve its freshness? And this is milk that was kept at room temperature as in those days the refrigeration as we know it today did not exist.




The Food and Drug Administration today classifies colloidal silver as a pre-1938 drug. A letter from the FDA dated 9/13/91 states: "These products may continue to be marketed . . . as long as they are advertised and labeled for the same use as in 1938 and as long as they are manufactured in the original manner." Some of the manufacturing methods used before 1938 are still used today. An electro-colloidal process, which is known to be the best method, is used. There is only one company currently using a manufacturing process that is officially approved by the FDA.




Dr. R. O. Becker, MD discovered in the late 1970's that the silver ions present in colloidal silver promote bone health and kill surrounding bacteria. This was confirmed in a March 1978 Science Digest article "Out Mightiest Germ Fighter" stated that colloidal silver kills some 650 disease organisms. It also prevents resistant strains to develop and to top all that, colloidal silver is non-toxic.




Dr. Harry Margraf, a researcher who worked with the late Dr. Carl Moyer, MD, chairman of Washington University, Department of Surgery during the 1970's, said "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have".




The equipment required to manufacture the highest level of colloidal silver would include: (1) Transmission Electron Microscope, (2) Absorption, (3) Dual-beam spectrophotometry, (4) Ultra-filtration and nanofiltration, (5) pH measuring equipment, (6) Conductivity analytical and centrifugation equipment. The purpose of all this sophisticated analytical equipment is to ensure the purity, uniformity, performance, stability and longevity of the product.




The Blue Man is famous for his ingestion of colloidal silver. Be it know that Paul Karason (The Blue Man) purchased a colloidal silver generator and manufactured his own colloidal silver. Not having all the equipment mentioned above Mr. Karason has no way of knowing the quality of the product that he was manufacturing.




In your selection of a colloidal silver product make sure you select a product that has a very small particle size no larger than .0008 microns and a concentration of 10 ppm. This results in 150,000,000 particles of silver in every drop. The solution needs to be totally clear.




If you intend to take colloidal silver orally, consider the following limits. 1 teaspoon of 5 ppm. colloidal silver equals about 25 micrograms (mcg.) of silver. 1 - 4 teaspoons per day (25 - 100 mcg.) is generally considered to be a "nutritional amount" and is reported to be safe to use for extended periods of time. Amounts higher than this are generally considered "therapeutic amounts" and should only be used periodically.




If you wish to consult a medical professional, the allopathic doctors most likely won't have any information. You will need to find a Naturopath, Homeopath or Chinese Herbalist to get in-depth information on how your should proceed with therapeutic dosage.

Bled, a prominent health resort in Slovenia

---

A trip to New York City will display Americana at its finest; shopping, cuisine, and culture. A trip to Paris will truly be a charming getaway in the city and nation famous for romance. A trip to London will allow a vacationer to view the history of a nation that once ruled over half the world. A trip one should always consider is to the scenic, ex-communist, nation of Slovenia.




Slovenia is a country rich in history and natural beauty. One can hike in the majestic Alps or enjoy a low-elevation trip on the coast of the Adriatic Sea - a perfect place for a picnic. While in Slovenia visitors can experience the centuries old culture which Slovenia enjoys. Poets (such as France Pre??eren, often considered the national poet), musicians, and composers have called Slovenia home. For a mix of this lush history and culture - as well as modern tourist destinations - a trip to Bled will satisfy all tastes.




Due to the Swiss naturopath, Arnold Rikli, in the late 19th century, Bled became a prominent health resort and continues this tradition of relaxation and rejuvenation of both the body and the soul. Following this tradition, Bled provides an excellent starting point for a trip into nearby Triglav National Park.




The lone island in the glacial Lake Bled provides a grand base for the Assumption of Mary Pilgrimage Church, which is only accessible by Pletna; a traditional wooden barge. It is often thought ringing the church bell is good luck so it is a must for many visitors.




Completing the picturesque Lake Bled scene is Bled Castle perched 130meters above the lake surface. The iconic castle dates back to the middle ages.




The Bled community provides lodging for all budgets. For those travelers on a tight budget, several hostels provide beds for as little as 18?,? a night. Many of these hostels will provide quality meals for little cost. For travelers with a more discriminating taste for hotels, Bled also has an array of 4 and 5 star hotels which pamper guests' mind and body - but certainly not their wallet.




Most visitors (those being, tourists who want comfort at a reasonable price) will find themselves with plenty of options when choosing a hotel, including a name recognizable to most Americans - Best Western. Most of these hotels offer conveniences modern tourists have become accustomed too, including an in-room safe, television, washroom facilities, and some even offer wireless internet to their guests. A few hotels have even partnered with ultra-luxurious Grand Hotel Toplice to give guests access to its swimming and wellness facilities. Some hotels in Bled also offer packages giving guests deals on local activities, such as skiing in the winter or golf in the summertime.
