Re: CSneed info on silver NOT killing beneficial bacteria
Hi Nenah, I wanted to comment on the statements on cells that you quoted. He writes: [beginning of quote] The subject about colloidal silver killing beneficial gut flora is an ongoing debate, between the people or groups who oppose to CS and to those who support it. All I can do is state the facts. 1) Anaerobic bacteria and nitrogen consuming bacteria that are pathological have THIN cell membranes, this is a known fact. 2) Beneficial bacteria which are aerobic i.e. oxygen breathing in nature have THICK cell membranes, which also is a known fact. ** Gram negative bacteria has a thinner cell wall than Gram positive bacteria, but the thicker cell wall possessed by the Gram positive bacteria does not necessarily mean this beneficial bacteria. In fact, most pathogenic bacteria in humans are Gram-positive organisms. Some Gram positive bacteria are spore-forming. Spore-forming bacteria can be categorized based on their respiration. For example, Bacillus is spore-forming and is a 'facultative anaerobe' while Clostridium, also spore-forming, is an 'obligate anaerobe'. A facultative anaerobe makes ATP by aerobic respiration but can also do this via fermentation if no oxygen is available. An obligate anaerobe cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. These designations are not exclusive to Gram positive bacteria; they also apply to some Gram negative bacteria. An example is E. coli which is Gram negative and is a facultative anaerobic organism. So, E. coli is Gram negative which gives it a thinner cell wall yet, it is a bacteria that can have negative consequences on our health; therefore, pathological. Further, it is oxygen breathing. At first I thought the above person who stated the facts basically reverse engineered her/his explanation to fit what s/he wanted the answer to be but as I was responding I realized that it is more a lack of information or a lack of understanding the information that is the problem. I hope this is helpful. -- Regards, Catherine -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

CSneed info on silver NOT killing beneficial bacteria
I'm guessing people might be busy with the holidays right now, but I need some information quickly. Do any of you good folks have access to studies showing that colloidal silver does NOT kill beneficial bacteria? There have been posts on this list that silver DOES kill beneficial bacteria-because it does not distinguish between one-celled friends and one-celled foes-but a health practitioner friend of mine says differently. He writes: [beginning of quote] The subject about colloidal silver killing beneficial gut flora is an ongoing debate, between the people or groups who oppose to CS and to those who support it.

Silver emits a frequency band that destroys the pathological bacteria but not the beneficial ones. According to many researches, colloidal silver does not destroy beneficial bacteria, due to the thick cell membranes that do not rupture, where as the cell membranes of pathological bacteria does rupture. Also it has been reported in studies that the beneficial micro flora INCREASES when consuming colloidal silver. I have personally done blood sample tests on myself, family members, friends and voluntary patients with respect to colloidal silver. Each person involved in the study, had a blood sample taken before consuming CS then another blood sample taken 1 week later where all subjects had consumed CS as instructed within that week between the two blood tests, i.e. 10ml, 3 times a day. Once the results came back from each test subject including myself, in EVERY case red blood cell count increased, hemoglobin count increased, white blood cell count increased and the platelet count also increased, i.e. indicating increased immunity and oxygen levels.

Re: CSneed info on silver NOT killing beneficial bacteria
I'm guessing people might be busy with the holidays right now, but I need some information quickly. Do any of you good folks have access to studies showing that colloidal silver does NOT kill beneficial bacteria? Dear Nenah, I won't be able to give you any scholarly citations, but I'll happily recap the consensus opinion... As far as we know, silver will kill any bacterium, regardless of cell morphology, if it gets into contact with it. The only known exceptions to this are strains of bacteria that have been detected near silver deposits in the ground -- and *they* lose their adaptation to high-silver environments within a very few generations of removal from those conditions. It's not a true resistance. The important word in the first paragraph is, 'contact.' The silver has to be able to reach the pathogen in order to kill it. In a liquid medium, silver performs superbly against all types, while in a solid or semi-solid medium, kill rates and percentages will be much lower to negligible unless very large amounts are used. An example of this was early confusion over why agar-plate tests tended to show spotty results. When the tests were repeated using nutrient broth as a medium, silver performance was consistently superb. The idea that silver spares good bacteria is, I believe, an attempt to explain observed performance that falls short of identifying the actual mechanism of action... The intestines and colon are filled with faeces that is generally not in a liquid state. Mobility is normally low. Silver that makes it into the gut, either passing through without having been absorbed, or being excreted via the liver, does not have the opportunity to reach the entire volume of the medium and tends to kill at much lower rates. On the other hand, in conditions such as food poisoning or dysintery, when bowel contents are in fact liquid, one can achieve very good kill rates and overall performance, resulting in a rapid cure. I can personally attest to the fact that if you take enough CS to overwhelm the friendly flora it *will* kill it! During one episode, I had been taking very large doses of CS for a number of days. I began to suffer extensive, bone-deep aches and pains throughout my major muscle groups, going so far as to threaten my ability to walk. When I discovered that my symptoms were identical to acute calcium deficiency and that calcium absorption is facilitated by the normal bacterial flora in the intestines, I resolved my problems within an hour or two by taking a bio-available calcium supplement. I then proceeded to rebuild my flora and fully recovered. So, when you're sick, with bad bugs in the gut, CS is able to get to them to kill them. When you're healthy, any reasonable dose of CS will be sufficiently immobilized in the semi-solid medium of normal bowel contents so as to be relatively ineffective in attacking the good bugs. Thus, you have the appearance of CS favoring one kind of bacteria over another. But, take enough CS to kill 'em despite the mobility issue, and the good bugs will be destroyed just as effectively, with the same potential for complications that always accompany the over-use of anti- microbials. I don't personally know whether there is *some* difference in kill rates between bacteria with different cell wall types, or any other distinctions, either, but I believe such effects are far outstripped by the question of mobility and ability to contact the pathogen. I hope that explanation is persuasive. Perhaps other members have some references at hand as well. Peace, Mike D.

Re: CSneed info on silver NOT killing beneficial bacteria
I think internally CS will not distinguish Good Bacteria from Bad, that is why I take a probiotic when I am using CS as a swish rinse in my mouth and swallowing, for many days at a time. Kefir is cheap, and has tons of good bacteria. Take 30 min. after the CS. It will bring you to a balance. Tel Tofflemire Dewey, AZ.

Re: CSneed info on silver NOT killing beneficial bacteria
JIM COMMENTS Who is the He at the beginning of your message? I would like to see documentation on the blood work. I concur with Mike. And, the Brigham Young study did not find any bacteria that were not immobilized, good guys included. If you drink enough to get it far enough down the tube without any solids, it will kill all the flora, causing diarrhea.

RE: CSneed info on silver NOT killing beneficial bacteria
Most information available in the public domain is simply copied and pasted from the multitude of info out there. For clarification purposes, could the following be noted: 1) Are we referring to LVDC produced EIS/CS? Meaning it's mostly ionic silver as opposed to true silver colloids produced by some other means, and/or marketed as simply 'CS'? 2)10ml consumed by oral consumption? intravenous? sublingually by absorption under the tongue or swallowed straight down? 3) What was the conductivity reading of that 10ml? 4)Could you define, quote, ...consumed CS as instructed... end quote. What specifically were those 'instructions'? There's plenty of talk in the public domain, and most things I find have been said before, but most fall a tad short in both clarification and detail. Example: My daily intake of around 30ml LVDC 10-14uS EIS/CS over several years has never interferred with any of my 'friendly flora'. Of course, I've only supplied half the information that would be required to make it a useful testimonial, or anecdotal evidence of something. This is what I mean, more information needs to be divulged before any assumptions or yardsticks can be applied to this stuff. EIS/CS is not some miracle cure-all, and not everyone consumes the same product in all details. Not nitpicking either, but much more detail needs to be supplied if looking for *factual* information as opposed to more anecdotal or testimonial evidence is to be of any use. Can't just say one consumed 'x' amount of 'CS? and be of any value or use to anyone. There's a whole multitude of information that needs to go with that statement for it to be of any *real* value. N.
