“Silver – The Dark Side of a New Health Craze

Ads for it litter the Internet and alternative health magazines. “Phyto-silver” (such as in the product previously sold by Seasilver USA until the Federal Trade Commission cracked down on them in June, 2003), colloidal silver, metallic silver, and silver salts are being promoted as the new germ-killing regimen. These writers and silver manufacturers cite hundreds or even thousands of years of “safe use” of silver for fighting germs and enhancing health. “Seasilver” was sold by a “multi-level marketing” (MLM) organization, so that the claims of efficacy were magnified by thousands of people who really wanted to believe in what they are selling to their friends and neighbors.

Silver is toxic

But for more than 40 years we have known that silver is a hard, proven carcinogen – a cancer-causing agent. Metallic silver is listed in the 1979 Registry of Toxic Effects as causing cancer in animals. Claims that it is safe have come primarily from the companies that make silver products – hardly a trustworthy source of unbiased information. Silver in any form is a bio-accumulative toxic heavy metal, like mercury, lead, and arsenic. Its action as an antibiotic comes from the fact that it is a non-selective toxic “biocide…….”

of course they seem to know what they are talking about. they are trained sales people who make their living from you purchasing their products.

In humans, accidental or intentional ingestion of large doses of silver nitrate has produced corrosive

damage of the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, shock, convulsions, and death (U.S.

EPA, 1985). Respiratory irritation was noted following acute inhalation exposure to silver or silver

compounds. Silver nitrate solutions are highly irritating to the skin, mucous membranes, and eyes (Stokinger,

1981).

Ingestion, inhalation, or dermal absorption of silver may cause argyria, the most common indicator of

long-term exposure to silver or silver compounds in humans. Argyria is a gray or blue-gray, permanent

discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes that is not a toxic effect per se, but is considered

cosmetically disfiguring. Chronic inhalation exposure of workers to silver oxide and silver nitrate dusts

resulted in upper and lower respiratory irritation, deposition of granular silver-containing deposits in the eyes,

impaired night vision, and abdominal pain (Rosenman et al., 1979). Mild allergic responses have been

attributed to dermal contact with silver (ATSDR, 1990).

In long-term oral studies with experimental animals, silver compounds have produced slight thickening

of the basement membranes of the renal glomeruli, growth depression, shortened lifespan, and granular silvercontaining

deposits in skin, eyes, and internal organs (Matuk et al., 1981; Olcott, 1948, 1950). Hypoactivity

was seen in rats subchronically exposed to silver nitrate in drinking water (Rungby and Danscher, 1984).

there is a huge amount more about it. i could find nothing positive except from those who manufacture or sell it

Thanks, Mod. Seems like all I’ve been doing is bad 🙂

When I get an eye infection I put it on and it helps. Guess I shouldn’t do that anymore.

How could something be so bad and at the same time so good?

Guess I should rephrase, how could something that helps people get healthier be dangerous at the same time?

I think that walking across niagra falls without a net is extremely exhilarating because there is that factor that you could die. It’s a rush people get from doing something stupid. There was an article on aish.com about it.

ef613 – there IS such a thing as taking a nap. Ever thought of that? i know someone who wakes up @ 4 am on a regular morning, they go to sleep around 11pm but their schedule leaves them with time during the day to take a 1/2 hr nap. Try it if you can. It’s really amazing how much better youll feel.

Moderator-80, you keep writing “silver nitrate or “silver compound” (which means other metals mixed in). And I heard that’s where the problems really are, in the extra metals.

What about 100% pure silver?

Kyolic comes in pill form.Simcha also has a direct effect on health.

Eat healthy diet, a HUGE dose of Vitamin C will not do you any good, your body will just dispose of 99% of it. Yo are going to literally be pissing your money away. I would also suggest some physical activity such as running.

Zach you are right, eating a well balanced diet, and exerercising and keeping th body from deteriorating is so important. Biking and exploring the wonderful Bike Trails is what I want to do.

Get ready to be attacked,S.Z.!You must be bored!

How strange it is to be attacked for suggesting that someone learn Torah.

As to my second point, that none of these diets or supplements have ever been proven to be effective (increase life span) , I am willing to be proven wrong. Bring me the proof.

It has been studied for Thousands of years (it’s controversial anyway) that Whole food Diet is Vital and important, the most right full one, Enjoying enough, Tasty enough and what else not.

I did hear that studying Torah makes one feel better. My friend had a headache and wasn’t feeling well once and then we had a Navi class and afterwards when I asked her if she wanted Tylenol she said her headache went away.
