Before the discovery of penicillin and antibiotics, silver was commonly used to treat infections. Thus, colloidal silver has been proven for centuries and is making a strong comeback in recent years. One of its greatest advantages is that the various germs it attacks do not develop any resistance. However, it is important to pay close attention to its quality (must be colorless or even golden but in no case brown), its method of manufacture, its silver concentration (from 6 mg/l to 30 mg/l) and its storage (in a tinted glass bottle, protected from heat and light). 

Discover in the next few lines, 5 reasons (and a bonus) to reintroduce colloidal silver in your natural pharmacy.

Les propriétés de l'Argent Colloïdal et son utilisation comme alternative aux antibiotiques.

All the interest of colloidal silver is based on its antiseptic, bactericidal, antiviral, antifungal and especially as an antibiotic, without the side effects of the latter when they are synthetic (alteration of the intestinal microbiota, notable resistance of certain bacteria ...).

L'Argent Colloïdal, sa composition et son mode d'action

Colloidal Silver is a liquid, colorless ionic solution in which extra pure water and silver microparticles are mixed.

Before the discovery of penicillin and antibiotics, silver was commonly used to treat infections. In the days when water was not always of good quality, a silver coin was put in a pitcher to make it drinkable. As an oxidation catalyst, it opposes the development of germs and is a powerful bactericide.

• Its mode of action:

Silver microparticles measuring less than a nanometer pass the membrane barrier of bacteria without difficulty to neutralize their toxicity. In addition, its colloidal form makes it perfectly bio-assimilable without the risk of overdosing. 

L'argent colloïdal, un allié contre l'antibiorésistance

For several years, antibiotic resistance is a fact that greatly worries the WHO creating thus at the end of 2015 GLASS, an international program to monitor resistance to antibacterials in which about fifty countries (including France) participate. 

Synthetic antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, however, when used incorrectly or too much, they cause the germs to mutate, making the treatments completely ineffective. 

According to a 2015 departmental report, "160,000 patients contract an infection with a so-called multidrug-resistant germ each year, and that nearly 13,000 patients die directly from it." 

It is therefore urgent to look into alternative solutions which, moreover, have already proved their worth. Essential oils and Colloidal Silver, which are discussed in this article, are one of these solutions.
