Let me tell you something you already suspect but maybe haven’t put into words yet. The modern American medical industry, Big Pharma, and its loyal lapdogs love to ridicule anything they can’t patent, profit from, or put into a fancy bottle with a $500 price tag. Case in point: colloidal silver. They call it “medieval” medicine, as if that’s supposed to be an insult. Yet in the next breath, they’ll hand you a prescription for some lab-concocted chemical stew with side effects that include seizures, stroke, or death… but hey, your sinus infection will be gone, so they call it a win.
Now, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, in their infinite wisdom (or infinite pocket-lining), has warned people that there’s “no scientific evidence” proving colloidal silver is safe and effective. You know why there’s no such evidence? Because no one with the kind of money that Big Pharma has is willing to fund the study. Why? Because you can’t slap a patent on a mineral God made.
And yet, get this, over 80% of the burn centers in the United States use silver sulfadiazine, a silver-based cream, as their first line of defense against one of the most vicious bacteria on earth: Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This pathogen shows up in almost every burn victim, and without silver, these patients would be eaten alive by infection.
So, if silver kills superbugs on the outside of the body, what makes you think it wouldn’t be useful on the inside? But you won’t hear that from the American Medical Association. Can’t have folks figuring out they can heal themselves for a fraction of the price of pharmaceuticals, can we?
Why Silver and All Minerals Matter
Now, let’s get down to basics. All minerals are inert, meaning they aren’t alive, and they don’t make decisions. They’re mindless. But when you introduce them into your body, your infinitely intelligent biology knows exactly what to do with them. Minerals are like Lego bricks; they don’t build the castle themselves, but your body’s blueprint knows where each piece belongs.
Your body cannot make minerals. They must be consumed, either in your food, your water, or your supplements. And each one vibrates at its own unique frequency, determined by its protons, electrons, and atomic weight. These vibrations don’t just sit there doing nothing. They carry and conduct the electrical and magnetic currents that keep your body humming.
Ever heard of electrolytes? Of course you have. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bicarbonate, sulfate, phosphate, and chloride are essential for your body’s electrical wiring. Without them, your circuits shut down.
Let me give you the short course in what happens when you’re running on empty:
| Mineral | What Happens When You’re Low |
| Magnesium | Heart stops beating. Welcome to the graveyard. |
| Sodium | Muscles stop working. Death soon follows. |
| Calcium | Brain short-circuits, nerves misfire. |
| Sulfate | Cells stop dividing properly, protein synthesis breaks down. Linked to autism spectrum disorders. |
| Phosphate | Growth stunted, bones brittle, teeth deteriorate. |
| Potassium | Weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps—you’ll feel like a sack of wet cement. |
| Chloride | Body fluids go haywire: blood volume, pH, blood pressure all destabilize. |
The Dirty Trick of Mineral Competition
Now here’s where it gets sneakier. Some minerals fight each other for absorption because they have similar properties. Zinc and copper wrestle like teenage brothers. But the nastiest trick comes from fluoride, a toxin that our bodies never needed but now absorb thanks to toothpaste, drinking water, and even non-stick cookware.
Fluoride shares the same valence number as iodine, but because it’s smaller and lighter, it sneaks in first, hijacking the thyroid’s receptors. When fluoride moves in, iodine gets kicked to the curb. The result? Thyroid dysfunction, metabolism slowdowns, and a nationwide obesity epidemic that’s been climbing since the 1960s.
If you’re wondering why America went from a 12% obesity rate in 1960 to over 35% by 2010, look no further than this one tiny atomic swap. Without iodine, the thyroid can’t do its job, and your body’s metabolic engine sputters and stalls.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
They’ve convinced you that the only way to get well is with pills, injections, and surgical interventions. But the truth is simpler and cheaper than they want you to believe.
Silver Water kills pathogens. Minerals power your body. And your body, given the right tools, knows exactly how to heal itself. But if you wait for the pharmaceutical giants to tell you that, you’ll be waiting until the sun burns out.
Take your health into your own hands. Learn the truth. Use what the earth has given you.
Or keep trusting the guys selling you side effects. The choice is yours. And remember, one of the listed side effects on many pharmaceuticals is exactly what you are trying to prevent: Death.
