Details of the Study
Staphyloccus aureus ATCC12600
Two concentrations of isolated silver were used, one
15 PPM isolated colloidal silver and one 30 PPM isolated colloidal
silver. The 30 PPM colloidal silver achieved results markedly faster,
although both formulations achieved the desired results within four
minutes:

The in-vitro lab results conclusively demonstrate that
a high quality isolated colloidal silver product is remarkably effective
in concentrations of both 15 PPM and 30 PPM against Staph Aureus.
A greater concentration demonstrated faster action, however, the
results in the first four minutes dropped population counts to nearly
non-existant levels with both formulations.

Studies Indicate that ASAP May Be an Effective
Antibiotic Alternative
According to Dr. Ron Leavitt of BYU University, as reported by Deseret News, Tuesday, May 16, 2000, a quality colloidal silver may serve as a suitable antibiotic alternative.
Lois Collins of Deseret News quotes Dr. Leavitt as writing "The data suggests that with the low toxicity associated with colloidal silver, in general, and the broad spectrum of anti microbial activity of this colloidal silver preparation, this preparation may be effectively used as an alternative to antibiotics."
The original study tested ASAP colloidal silver against tetracyclines, fluorinated quinolones (Ofloxacin), the penicillins, the cephalosporins (Cefaperazone) and the macrolides (Erythromycin). Among the microbes tested were streptococcuses, pneumonia, E. coli, salmonella, and shigella.
AM Silver has removed the original study data from their web site. However, you can still view references to the studies on their site.
Lois Collins also quoted Ron Leavitt as stating, "When one of my research assistants suggested that we check this out, I was real skeptical of something that sounded a lot like snake oil. I said we'd do it if they would pay for the supplies. But whatever the data is, it is. We agreed there would be no restriction on publication of the data."
Although Dr. Leavitt stated that there would be no restriction on the publication of data, apparently Brigham Young University disagrees. In a letter dated July 23, 2002, the assistant to general counsel for BYU, stated:
"Any studies that occurred at BYU were not intended for dissemination to the general public."
In what can almost be construed as a blanket attack against first amendment rights, BYU has been sending intimidating cease and desist orders out to individuals and organizations referencing the study. These letters not only pursue the reasonable demand that copyrights be respected, but further demand that BYU not be mentioned in conjunction with the study at all, despite the fact this information now exists in the public domain.
Further, attached to these letters is an official BYU position statement, where the anti microbial effects of colloidal silver are compared to bleach. While it is clear ( in fact, self evident ) that studies done in-vitro cannot be applied to a clinical situation, comparing colloidal silver to bleach can only be regarded as a very distasteful disinformation tactic. While the sarcasm of the comment is not lost in the statement, the undiluted truth is. As the quote by Dr. Ron Leavitt above indicates, colloidal silver has a low level of toxicity ( see our pages on silver toxicity for details ).
The Colloidal Silver Database Web site.'s position is that we are not in violation of copyright laws in this matter. Furthermore, we believe that the general public has a right to know the facts associated with the controversy, insofar as doing so does not infringe upon the rights of the parties in question, as a part of our journalistic expression.

A Wonder of Wonder Medicine for Lyme Disease Patients
Thanks to eye opening research silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps half a dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills in excess of 650, including the Bb strain of bacteria responsible for Lyme disease.
That means you can go straight into full recovery from Lyme disease, bypassing the hazardous effects of prescription antibiotics.
An impressive demonstration of the effectiveness of nanosilver is further reported by Jim Powell:
Powell states: "A dramatic demonstration recently took place in Nebraska: Fifty gallons of sewage was pumped into a pool without any disinfectant. A standard measure of contamination is the count of E-coli, an organism found in the human intestinal tract. The count soared to 7000 E-coli cells per milliliter of water. Then the water was flushed through silver electrode and within three hours it was completely free of E-coli.
"The Amazing Silver Ion." - Dr. Robert O. Becker
Of course, the work of Dr. Robert O. Becker as previously described, makes very clear the extreme effectiveness his research proved of "the amazing silver ion" in recent times.
Even hydrogen peroxide has extensive research which showcase positive and promising results in stopping or retarding infections all together. It does this by dissolving and removing dead flesh with oxygen, thereby removing much of the product the bacteria live on and by supplying oxygen to the area, which kills anaerobic bacteria, which are the dangerous bacteria. It does not chemically attack pathogens as do the other substances mentioned Dr. Margraf.
Additionally, IONIC SILVER™ is virtually non-toxic!
In 1972, Dr. Henry E. Simmons testified before a Senate committee investigating drug abuse: "Antibiotics possibly cause 100,000 to 300,000 diatrogenic (doctor induced health problems) each year, of which 30% to 50% are fatal". This has increased exponentially considerably since 1972 with the severe abuse and excessive doctor prescribed antibiotics.
Yes, Drug Based Antibiotics Are Toxic For Your Liver, Create SUPER BUGS
This may indicate that the medical profession is preventing the alternative health care by giving false hope to patients for conditions they cannot treat and continuing to do so to the point of death.
In his book, "Controversies in Therapeutics, Dr. Daniel Azarnoff" states: "In one recent year, nearly 7 million ounces of antibiotic Tetracycline syrup was prescribed. Ninety-nine percent went to children under 8 years of age. This particular drug produces symptoms simi liar to brain tumors and can cause mouth and kidney infections, rectal disease, kidney failure, permanent tooth damage and inhibition of bone growth."
Heavy Doses of Antibiotics Kill The Good Bacteria Too
Heavy doses of many antibiotics will kill all the bacteria in the digestive system producing uncontrollable diarrhea and dehydration, among other problems. This sometimes results in clostridium difficult very badly dominating the digestive system. This condition will result in death if not immediately treated with intravenous hydration and a specific antibiotic for the condition.
And, this long duration therapy would need to be high-dose as well, in order to keep drug levels in the brain high enough to continually kill spirochetes emerging from cysts. Spirochetes prefer lipid-like materials to nest in, and the brain is just that.
This brings us to the third serious problem with antibiotic therapy, mutation. Also known as "super germs" and "super bugs".
The U.S. Centers for Disease control places the number that die annually from antibiotic resistant diseases at 44,000. That is only the reported cases.
In a report to the American College of Surgeons, Dr. WIlliam Altemeieir revealed his studies indicated that antibiotics may actually have increased the number and complexity of problems related to infections.
Antibiotics Lead to 30,000 Deaths in 2008 - More Than 6 Times the Deaths in 9/11
If antibiotics were to work, they would have to be continued for extremely extended periods of time, in order to outlast the spirochetes that remain in cyst form. This however, is just a hypothetical situation, as clear research and trials clearly show that long-term antibiotic use alone does not work.
Now, most side effects listed were based on minimal treatment durations, such as 10 or even 30 days. Imagine the attenuation of side effects over a one-year period! Self destruction.
When the person feels better, the antibiotics are stopped, and the spirochetes emerge from their protected cyst form in deep locations within the body. But this time, the person is weakened from a long course of antibiotics, and even less capable of fighting off the infection.

What Do Health Professionals Say About Silver and Colloidal Silver?
Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, A. M., M. D. (John Hopkins) states, "Speaking generally, the colloidal metals are especially remarkable to their beneficial action in infective states."
Dr. Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reports: " In four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We're just beginning to see what extent silver can relieve suffering.
Laboratory test in 1988 by Larry C. Ford, M.D., UCLA School of Medicine, and other researchers showed that many forms of destructive bacteria virus and fungus organisms are killed within minutes of contact with simple metallic silver.
While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs in the late 1970s, Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of The Body Electric discovered that electrically generated silver particles promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria, which had been known for centuries... when antibiotics were discovered, uses for silver as a powerful antibiotic were discarded."
Jim Powell reported in a Science Digest article published in March, 1978 and titled Could This Be Our Mightiest Germ Fighter?, "Thanks to eye-openng research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine, An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650 diseases. Resistant strains fail to develop to silver like they do with antibiotics. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic."
Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom, of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, has used silver in his cancer cure method for many years. He said the whole thing was quite simple, silver has aided remission in cancer patients who were given up on by other doctors.
Silver-Ion Technology:
Laboratory Tested and Used In Space by NASA
NASA researched 23 different methods of water purification and selected a silver system for the space shuttles.
NASA, as well as half the world's airlines, uses silver filters to guard against water born diseases. There are many practical uses for silver including Colloidal Silver as an all natural antibacterial alternative.
Scientists working in an underwater lab owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration utilize silver-embedded fabrics made by Domestic Fabrics. The fabrics, made by a company named Domestic Fabrics from threads manufactured by Foss Manufacturing, have been proven to be effective 
against odor causing bacteria, fungus and mildew, and can be woven into wearable clothes, sheets, pillow cases, and other useful cloth material.
Recently, the silver ion technology has attracted the attention of NASA. Based on the results of testing done by NASA's Extreme Environment Mission Operations ( NEEMO ), NASA has asked Domestic Fabrics to create useable materials suitable for use aboard the International Space Station.
"It's exciting," Bill Hunneke said. "Now we're working with NASA to actually get this into space. It might happen. This has been a tremendous success
