Silver is a highly useful natural antibiotic which, if used correctly (and it is hard to use it incorrectly, but can be done – see below) is astonishingly safe. it is known to eliminate malaria, colds, yeast such as Candida, pathogenic bacteria, parasites, and a host of other disease causing organisms. There is only one type of silver which does not, however, kill beneficial bacteria while it kills disease causing ones. All other types of silver kill the good and the harmful organisms in and on our bodies.

Recently the news media made a huge fuss about the man who turned blue from the use of colloidal silver. Apparently, he did not turn blue. And he, himself, is convinced that the problem was not the silver so much as the tap water that he used to make it.

Why would the media invest so much time and effort in a bogus story (Mr. Jones did not turn blue)? Perhaps it is helpful assist to the FDA which has been trying to ban colloidal silver for at least a decade. After all, a safe, inexpensive, easily made, anti viral, anti mycoplasma, antio bacterial agent which people can control for themselves while taking money out of the hands of the pharmaceutical industry (which calls the tune very well for the FDA) would be real threat to the vast antibiotic market now so wel entrenched in the general culture. The FDA appears to be riding the blue man (who is not blue at all) into a golden (not silver) future where this self administered, safe medication is no longer a legal substance in the US and, through the power of Codex Alimentarius, is no longer available everywhere.

This must not be allowed to happen. Keep on using colloidal silver and avoiding drug companies drugs!

Yours in health and freedom,

An interview with Stan Jones, the 2002 Libertarian Senate candidate from Bozeman, Montana who news media outlets have claimed “turned blue” from taking colloidal silver:

Background:

On 10-3-02 a friend in the nutrition industry forwarded to me a CNN news article that had been circulating on the internet. The news article basically stated that Montana Senate candidate Stan Jones had “turned blue” from taking daily doses of colloidal silver between 1999 and 2001. This story soon began circulating widely on the internet, and was even picked up by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) web site.

On 10-4-02 I called Mr. Jones’ campaign office and left a message on his answering machine introducing myself as a health writer and publisher, and asking him to return my call. I explained that I hoped to be able to speak with him briefly about colloidal silver usage and the information in the news articles that had been circulating on the internet regarding his skin discoloration. I asked if he would clarify some points so that I could relay the information to the readers of my publications who may be interested in the proper and safe usage of colloidal silver. On 10-8-02 at approximately 1:30 p.m. (PST) Mr. Jones returned my telephone call.

Notes:

I began by thanking him for returning my call, and promising not to take up too much of his valuable time. “I know you are in the middle of a busy election campaign so I’ll try to keep this brief. Your case is very unusual, something of an anomaly,” I began. “Yes, yes, very unusual,” he answered, “this normally doesn’t happen with colloidal silver usage.” He continued, “However, the first thing I want to tell you is that I am not as blue as the news media is making me out to be. At certain times there is what I suppose you could call a bluish-gray tinge on the skin under my eyelids and perhaps a little on my lips. And the skin under my finger nails also has a tinge of discoloration to it. On some days the discoloration seems to be more pronounced, and on other days it is barely visible, if at all. Most people who meet me never even notice it, but on occasion some do. The spin that the media has put on this story is not at all accurate. It is highly exaggerated. The discoloration is very minimal. I have not ‘turned blue.’ The extent of skin discoloration is not even remotely near what the news media are saying. It is very minor and generally barely noticeable.”

I told him I had a number of questions that I hoped he could answer, so that other people interested in using colloidal silver could do so from a more informed perspective. He replied, “Let me tell you what happened first, and that will probably answer most of your questions…I began taking colloidal silver in 1998 while I was living in Washington state. I had done some research on Y2K and learned of colloidal silver and its powerful natural antibiotic qualities through that research…I started out using distilled water to make my colloidal silver, but I soon switched to tap water(1) because I erroneously believed the tap water in Washington State was relatively pure and mineral free. I added saline drops(2) to the tap water to increase the electrical conductivity of the solution. To make the colloidal silver I used a device composed of three nine volt batteries(3) along with two silver wires that were .999 fine in purity. I was making the colloidal silver solution in a small plastic cup(4) at that time. That was my introduction to colloidal silver…In 1999 I moved to Montana. At this time I began drinking about eight ounces a day of colloidal silver, using an eight minute generation period. I was still making it in tap water, and of course, I had no idea what concentration I was making. At that time I kept a two gallon jug of water in the refrigerator, so I started making very concentrated eight ounce batches of colloidal silver, and adding it to the two gallon jug of water in the refrigerator(5). To make these concentrated batches, I used a one hour generation process. I was still using tap water to make these initial highly concentrated(6) eight ounce batches of colloidal silver which I was then adding to my drinking water(7).”

At this point in the conversation I interrupted and told Mr. Jones about the research from the late 1960’s in which doctors had given rats extremely high dosages of silver in water, relative to their body weights, and discovered that the silver solution at those high dosages had a very toxic effect on the rat’s livers. This toxic effect on their livers appeared to shut down the process by which silver is carried from the body and excreted. I explained that the doctors had discovered something very interesting: when they supplemented the rats with vitamin E and selenium, the liver damage and resulting toxicity was completely negated, and the rats were then able to ingest these relatively large dosages of silver with no problem. I asked Mr. Jones if he was aware of this research, and he said he was not. I asked if he had been taking a daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement containing vitamin E and selenium at all during the period of time he had been using colloidal silver in Washington state and Montana, and he said he did not think he had been. He stated, “Of course we know for a fact that the body is able to process colloidal silver quite well, if it is made correctly and the dosage levels and concentrations are not too high. I think it is when colloidal silver is incorrectly made using tap water or sources other than distilled water, and is taken at higher dosages and concentrations for long periods of time that minor problems like the one I’ve experienced can result.”

He then stated that since he first started noticing the minor skin discoloration a year ago, he began studying colloidal silver usage more carefully, and has learned there are many variables to take into consideration when making colloidal silver. He said, “Even things like the type of water you use to make your silver solution, the size of the silver wire you use, the length of the time and the electrical voltage at which you generate the silver, the resulting concentration you produce in terms of parts per million, and many other factors, all of which can make a big difference in the final result.” He stated that he has since learned that some people strain their homemade colloidal silver through a paper coffee filter in order to remove larger particles, so that they are only ingesting the tinier particles that make it through the filter. He said he now believes the tinier particles are easier for the body to process.

I asked him if he had any advice for users of colloidal silver, in terms of things they can do to avoid the apparently minor problem he has encountered with skin discoloration. He said that people should be sure to use nothing but pure distilled water to make their colloidal silver, and that they should be very careful in regards to the dosages and concentrations they take. “Don’t use tap water to make your colloidal silver. Use pure distilled water only. And don’t take very large dosages or strong concentrations for long periods of time.”

I asked him how he felt about the media’s take on his story, and he stated once again that he felt it was highly exaggerated, and in fact was being blown out of proportion. “I am not blue,” he reaffirmed, “but there is some minor skin discoloration in small areas on my face and hands which is occasionally noticeable, though not always.” I asked him why he felt the skin discoloration seemed to be more noticeable on some occasions and barely perceptible on others, and he stated that he did not know.

I further asked if he felt the FDA would attempt to use his case in order to bolster their attempts to ban colloidal silver. He stated, “It doesn’t matter if they do, because we now know how to produce colloidal silver ourselves. We don’t need the FDA. We have the means of production at our fingertips. They can’t stop us from using it. I am convinced it is a very powerful and effective natural antibiotic, and that it is relatively safe when made and used correctly.”

I asked whether he was still taking colloidal silver and he said “No. Not at this time. I stopped using it last year after I first noticed the slight skin discoloration. But I can feel a cold coming on right now, so I am going to start using it again.” He stated that during the entire time he had been taking colloidal silver he had not been sick, not even so much as a cold. “Now that I’ve learned more about how to make colloidal silver correctly using distilled water, and to watch the dosage and concentration levels, I will start using it again.”

At this point in the conversation Mr. Jones was interrupted by the arrival of guests (I could hear him telling someone to come in and take a seat and that he’d be with them momentarily). I assumed he was calling from his campaign office. I thanked him profusely for taking time out of his busy schedule to speak with me. He asked me to name the two nutritional supplements that helped prevent silver toxicity in the study I had mentioned earlier, and I told him they were vitamin E and selenium, and that the daily dosages I had read about were 200 to 400 IU of vitamin E and 200 micrograms of selenium. He stated that he thinks the daily vitamin/mineral supplement he now uses has those levels of vitamin E and selenium in them. I asked if he wanted me to send him a copy of the research on vitamin E and selenium in conjunction with silver usage, and he said it would not be necessary. He concluded by stating once again that he is convinced colloidal silver usage is completely safe as long as it is made properly, and the dosage levels and concentrations are not overly high.

I then wished him luck on his campaign for the Senate seat in Montana. He said “thank you” and we hung up.
