The remarkable benefit of positively charged silver ions has been conclusively demonstrated by the most rigorous scientific requirements in the world.
One of the foremost research scientists in the field has been the brilliant orthopaedic surgeon, Prof. Robert O. Becker.
“…they (electrically charged silver ions) profoundly stimulate soft-tissue healing in a way that’s unlike any known natural process”.
Dr. Robert O. Becker Pg 174 The Silver Wand from “The Body Electric”
“We saw positive silver’s lifesaving potential most clearly in our experience with a patient named Tom in 1979. Tom had had massive doses of X rays for cancer of the larynx, and his larynx had to be removed. Because of the radiation, the surrounding tissue was helpless against infection, and the skin and muscle of his entire neck literally dissolved into a horrid wound. After one month of electrified silver treatment, the infection was gone and healing was progressing, the wound healed completely in a total of three months. One physician, who said he’d never heard of any comparable healing of such a grave wound, was moved to exclaim after seeing my slides, “I have witnessed a miracle!”
Dr. Robert O. Becker Pg 174 The Silver Wand from “The Body Electric”
“We may only have scratched the surface of positive silver’s medical brilliance. Already it’s an amazing tool. It stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most stubborn infections of all kinds of bacteria, and stimulates healing in skin and other soft tissues”.
Dr. Robert O. Becker Pg 175 The Silver Wand from “The Body Electric”
“…we studied malignant fibrosarcoma cells (cancerous fibroblasts) and found that electrically injected silver suspended their runaway mitosis. Dr. Robert O. Becker Pg 175 The Silver Wand from “The Body Electric”.
“Whatever its precise mode of action may be, the electrically generated silver ion can produce enough cells for human blastemas; it has restored my belief that full regeneration of limbs, and perhaps other body parts, can be accomplished in humans”.
Dr. Robert O. Becker Pg 175 The Silver Wand from “The Body Electric”
Writing about his experience with older patients, Dr. Becker wrote, “Silver did more than kill disease causing organisms. It promoted major growth of bone, and accelerated the healing of injured tissues by over 50%”.
Dr. Becker discovered that the silver was promoting a new kind of cell growth, which looked like the cells of children! “These cells grew fast” he wrote “producing a diverse and surprising assortment of primitive cell forms able to multiply at a great rate, then differentiate into the specific cells of an organ or tissue that had been injured, even in patients over fifty years old.”

In 1998, Prof. Becker received a U.S. patent (5,814,094) for the devices, materials and techniques in the regeneration of tissue using silver ions. After several hundred cases, Prof. Becker believes that the technique works in three stages.
The first stage is the chemical combination of highly active free silver ions with all bacteria or fungi present in the wound which are inactivated within 20 or 30 minutes.
The second stage occurs over the next few days. Silver acts on fibroblast cells to cause them to revert to their embryonic state, becoming stem cells. These cells are universal building blocks whose role is to reconstruct new tissue.
In the final stage, silver ions form a complex with the living cells in the wound area to produce immediately convertible stem cells.
The end result of this conversion is that the stems cells supply all the building blocks necessary to completely restore all anatomical structures. No other known treatment provides sufficient numbers of the embryonic or stem cells required for true regeneration of damaged or destroyed tissues in humans and animals. The success indicates that there is the potential not only for the healing of near surface wounds, but for regeneration repair of internal organs such as the heart, liver, brain and the spinal cord.

“YOU CAN TRACE EVERY SICKNESS, EVERY DISEASE, AND EVERY AILMENT TO A MINERAL DEFICIENCY” - Linus Pauling, Ph. D. (twice Nobel Laureate)
“...in this eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine ...perhaps it soon will be recognized as: OUR MIGHTIEST GERM FIGHTER. For example, even the most powerful pharmaceutical antibiotics are effective against only a small number of micro-organisms, and then only until drug-resistant strains develop. Yet, research at Washington University School of Medicine...has shown that silver is bactericidal to nearly 650 different disease-causing organisms, and that silver-resistant bacteria strains do not develop.”
Science Digest, March 1978
“Silver is one of the most universal antibiotic substances. When administered in the colloidal form, it is for all intents and purposes non-toxic. Silver has been proven effective against hundreds of infectious conditions. It has tremendous anti-microbial power; the history of safe and successful colloidal silver use is extensive, and the number of current health professionals and individuals that successfully utilize colloidal silver to reduce the length and severity of infectious disorders is growing exponentially.” Zane Baranowski, CN. Association for Advanced Colloidal Research.
The germicidal action of certain metals in the colloidal state having been demonstrated, it only remained to apply them to the human subject, and this has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. For internal administration, either orally or hypodermically, they have the advantage of being rapidly fatal to the parasites both bacterial and otherwise without any toxic action on the host. Colloidal Silver solution is quite stable even in the presence of salts and the normal constituents of the blood. Its destructive action on toxins is very marked, so that it will protect rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanic (from tetanus) or diptheric toxin.” Prof. A.B. Searle in “The Use of Colloids in Health and Disease (Quoting from the British Medical Journal, May 12, 1917, pg 83.)
“The introduction of the metallic colloids into medicine constitutes a new departure in therapeutics, the significance of which does not appear as yet to be generally recognised”

Lancet, January 13, 1912, p. 89 – 90
"With the many research reports and personal testimonials of it being a full spectrum natural
antibiotic that destroys virtually all known and developing/mutating pleomorphic pathogens, you’d think there would be a lot of excitement regarding colloidal silver, especially from within the medical community...The harsh reality regarding the FDA, AMA, Pharmaceutical, and scientific community is that there appears to be a lack of enthusiasm. Reluctance to help validate the effectiveness of colloidal silver seems all too common. Although this is changing, the reason for the possible resistance may be rooted primarily in economics. For example, colloidal silver is regarded by the FDA as a pre-1938 drug. Moreover, the FDA does not have jurisdiction regarding a pure mineral element. There has been no incentive for the aforementioned bodies to go through the expensive process of controlled studies to provide proof regarding uses and effectiveness, such as the UCLA and others have done."
E. Vincent Goetsch in his book, "Colloidal Silver Maker & Researcher's Manual"
"The medicine department of obstetrics and gynaecology at UCLA conducted tests in 1988 regarding the use of silver solutions as disinfectants. Anti-microbial and anti-bacterial effects were demonstrated in 10/5 concentrations per milliliter of the following:
neisseria gonorrhea, gardurella vaginalisis, streptococcus pyogenes, staphylococcus aureus, candida albicans, candida eolobata, m. furfur, salmonella typhi."
