Silver has been used for at least six thousand years to prevent microbial infections. In the past, there was controversy about the safety and effectiveness of using tiny silver particles in and on the human body. But in the 1990s, manufacturers began adding silver nanoparticles to many products to enhance their antibacterial and anti-odor properties. Examples include clothes, towels, undergarments, socks, toothpaste and soft toys. Nanoparticles are ultra-small particles, ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter—too small to see even with a microscope. Here are some health benefits of tiny silver particles.
Treat Skin Conditions
The products that contain silver nanoparticles are most commonly called colloidal silver. Colloidal silver may benefit many skin conditions, including psoriasis and eczema. It’s soothing to scrapes and even helps repair tissue damage from burns. You can find many products on Amazon.com that contain colloidal silver and say they are good for things like wound care, severe burns, acne and skin problems.
Antibacterial/Antimicrobial
Research has shown that tiny silver particles are antibacterial. And it doesn’t create resistance or immunity in the organisms that are killed by it. This means there won't ever be silver resistant bacteria, which makes it a powerful tool for wellness. It also does not disturb your healthy gut flora, which is so important to you overall wellness. Silver also appears to be effective at limiting the growth of some yeast and fungal strains.
Antiviral
You may be even more excited to hear that colloidal silver seems to be effective against the common cold and the flu. Research has found that silver nanoparticles can prevent replication of some viral infections. Other research has found that colloidal silver can interfere with the replication mechanism of HIV. it could also be effective for treating herpes simplex virus and Hepatitis B.
Anti-Inflammatory
There have been studies done on animals that showed that colloidal silver has potent anti-inflammatory abilities. It works fast to reduce swelling, and helps to repair inflammation either on the skin or in the body. If you are looking for additional research and reference points, here is a good article by Dr Josh Axe and one by Dr Jockers.
Toxic to Cancer Cells
There is still controversy about whether tiny silver particles are helpful in treating cancer. But there has been a study that showed that particular silver compounds are toxic to cancer cells. Research is on-going to see if it can be used as a viable alternative for cancer treatment.
The general recommendation is that colloidal silver should not be taken for more than 14 days in a row. And as always, consult with a medical professional if you pregnant, have a serious health issue, or are on medication.
