WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER? 
Total silver includes both ionic silver and silver in its nanoparticle form. The concentration of silver is measured by using atomic emission spectroscopy and it is express in parts-per-million (PPM). To put it simply, colloidal silver is a solution consisting of tiny particles of silver suspended in a liquid.

THE HISTORY OF COLLOIDAL SILVER 
For thousands of years, uses of silver have included; being used as a healing and anti-bacterial agent by civilizations throughout the world. Its medical, preservative and restorative powers can be traced as far back as the ancient Greek and Roman Empires. Long before the development of modern pharmaceuticals, silver was employed as a germicide and antibiotic.In the late 1800s did western scientists re-discover what had been known for thousands of years – could silver be a powerful germ fighter?
Medicinal silver compounds were then developed and silver became commonly used as a medicine. By the early part of the 1900s, the use of silver as an antibacterial substance was becoming widespread.
By 1940 there were approximately four dozen different silver compounds on the market being used to treat every known infectious disease.

 

Colloidal silver lost its popularity after penicillin was discovered but the return of silver to conventional medicine began in the 1970’s. Over the years the research has shown colloidal silver’s superior performance in fighting microbes, it has attracted the attention of leading scientists and medical researchers throughout the world.

 

According to experts, no microorganism ever tested has been able to stay alive for more than six minutes when exposed directly to colloidal silver. In laboratory tests with colloidal silver, bacteria, many viruses, and fungal organisms are killed within minutes of contact. Larry C. Ford, M.D. of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, Centre For The Health Sciences reported on November 1, 1988.

HOW DOES COLLOIDAL SILVER WORK? 
There are three main ways in which Colloidal Silver works it benefits. First is Catalytic Oxidation whereby silver holds onto oxygen molecules which then readily react with sulfhydryl groups that surround bacteria and viruses. This in turn blocks the cellular respiration of the bacteria and viruses. Cellular respiration is also blocked by reaction with bacterial cell membranes. Finally, colloidal silver binds with DNA, preventing the DNA from unwinding, an essential step for the process of cellular replication to occur.

Studies show that colloidal silver is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that may be able to fight and kill pathogens that make us sick. It can inhibit the growth of both aerobic (requiring oxygen) and anaerobic (not requiring oxygen) bacteria, according to research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

 

MORE RESEARCH ON COLLOIDAL SILVER 

Using two teaspoons of silver with a potency of over 30 ppm can purify one gallon of water shown at recent studies at UCLA. Robert O. Becker, M.D., a surgeon who was employed at Syracuse Medical University made an amazing discovery by generating silver ions directly into open infected wounds. He found that not only did the silver effectively kill the infectious microorganisms responsible for the disease, but it also triggered remarkable and quite unexpected re-growth of human tissue and bone at the site of the infection. Becker discovered that silver caused cellular repair, resulting in dramatic healing of damaged tissues.

 

In 2012, a research article produced by Pharmacognosy Communications recommended that certain silver preparations should be considered for topical use to treat burns, thrush, periodontitis and other conditions. Silver also helps heal other skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. US National Library of Medicine, states silver-derived solutions appear to have anti-inflammatory/pro-healing properties. Nanocrystalline silver-derived solutions show promise for a variety of anti-inflammatory treatment uses.

 

A study published in the International Forum for Allergy and Rhinology in 2015 says that silver can help sinus infections.

Studies also found that hidden infections by pathogens could be a cause of respiratory inflammation associated with common allergies and asthma. Silver destroys Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, which may be the reason why airborne allergy sufferers experience excellent results from using silver.

 

Silver might even kill the deadly, drug-resistant MRSA pathogen, now responsible for up to 94,000 life-threatening infections. In 2011 the NIH took 100 children under the age of 12 suffering from the common cold and nasal congestion and assigned them into two groups; the first group was treated with a solution of silver and beta glucan, and the second group with saline solution. Even though both groups benefited from the treatment, 90% of the people in the silver group completely recovered.

 

While employed at UCLA Medical School in the 1980s, Larry C. Ford, MD, documented that silver can actually kill over 650 bacteria, fungi, parasites, molds and fungi that have the potential to sprout diseases. At the same time the tests established that silver had no known side effects. Martin Hum, from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, lists silver as one of the natural remedies to stop viruses. The colloidal silver used in modern supplements is a suspension of pure metallic silver in water. It is thought to work by interfering with the enzymes that enable viruses, bacteria and fungi to utilize oxygen. In other words, it suffocates and kills them.

YOUBEAUT COLLOIDAL SILVER 
It is made using highly purified water, and electro-technology, which produces particles of extremely small size so that they have a proportionately large surface area for better effectiveness. Purity is our priority, so the only ingredients in this product are purified water and medical grade silver at 99.99% purity.

At YOUBEAUT, our colloidal silver is manufactured at a very safe 6-8ppm. We pride ourselves in that our product is of a high quality and purtity standard, and made in Australia.
