The Facts About Colloidal Silver and Swine Flu

May 21st, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Medicine

Panic is spreading all over the World over the outbreak of Swine Flu. Separate to the Swine Flu, Advanced Colloidal Silver solution has grown rapidly in popularlity over the last few years due to its renowned ability as a broad spectrum antiviral agent. It is natural then that many people are asking if the advanced colloidal silver will be effective against the Swine Flu. Well here are the facts so far.

The advanced colloidal silver was designed for the treating and preventing of both forms of viruses (viral DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase). It is not necessary to understand the differences, suffice to say that the advanced colloidal silver was designed to cover a broad spectrum rather than being specific to any one type of virus. Studies have found the advanced colloidal silver to be both safe and effective against both of these types of virus.

It should be emphasised though that the advanced colloidal silver has not been tested yet against the new strain of Influenza A virus causing the Swine Flu. This virus has been named Influenza A (H1N1). Having said that it has been tested against other viruses within the same classification and has produced brilliant results. The Influenza (H5N1) virus was prevented by taking the liquid colloidal silver orally two times a day disinfecting the hands with the gel keeping them sanitized for up to 4 hours.

The results of the study says, “Especially of interest was the observation that 60% of the infected mice treated with this compound survived compared to the 30% in the placebo-treated controls”. It goes on to state, “this effect is strongly suggestive a disease-inhibitory effect may have occurred”.

Test tube trials against other Influenza strains, at just 10 parts per million demonstrated that the colloidal silver killed or neutralized 96-98% of Influenza A (H3-N2) (Avian Flu) and Influenza A (H1-N1) (Beijing Flu) in only 2 hours. There were no surviving viruses at all after 12 hours. Against Influenza A (H5-N1) (Vietnam Hybrid Avian Flu), the virus was no longer detectable after 6 hours.

Keith Moeller is the Managing Director of the company that manufactures the advanced colloidal silver. He says, “We realize that these study findings are just a preliminary step in showing the effectivity of the product as a daily supplement to improve health. But, given the fact that there is no other product that has been proven both safe for daily usage, and even moderately effective against H5-N1 Bird Flu, we think the study is very important”.

Many brands of colloidal silver from many manufacturers are available today, but the results above are only available Keith Moller’s company. The reason I call it “advanced” colloidal silver, is because it was patented in 2006, whereas all other versions of colloidal silver are made to a much earlier patent issued in 1924. Although some of these colloidal silvers may provide excellent protection as well, they were not involved in the above mentioned trials, so I am unable to comment on them.

Wash your hands

Basic way of preventing getting infected is washing your hands frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing. You can use soap and water, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective. Hand sanitizers can be used when water isn’t available.

Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth

Germs spread when you touch your eyes, nose or mouth after touching something that’s contaminated.

Avoid close contact with sick people

If possible, avoid contact with possibly infected people. Avoid crowds. Swine flu spreads mainly when people cough or sneeze.

Avoid travel

Try to limit traveling, especially to high risk areas such as Mexico. If you’ve been to Mexico and have flu like symptoms visit a doctor.

Wear facemask or respirator

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing facemask in crowded settings to prevent getting infected and to not infect others. Respirator should be used if you have close contact with infected person (for example you’re caring of sick person at home).

Antiviral drugs

Swine influenza A (H1N1) is sensitive to Oseltamivir (sold under name Tamiflu) and Zanamivir (sold as Relenza). They are effective means of swine flu prevention and treatment. If taken for treatment, Tamiflu and Relenza are most effective if taken within 2 days after illness started. They are also effective for prevention if given to healthy person that had contact with infected people. Antiviral drugs are 70% to 90% effective means of flu prevention. According to CDC, number of days they should be used to prevent H1N1 influenza varies depending on each person’s situation.

Vaccine

Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine isn’t available yet, WHO and CDC are working on it.

Stay home if you feel sick

CDC recommends to stay at home for 7 days after symptoms begin or until you are symptom-free for 24 hours to not spread infection further.

Take care of your health

Sleep well, be active, manage stress, drink lots of fluids, eat healthy. This strengthens your immune system.
