In recent decades the world has experienced a number of epidemics such as the Bird Flu, Swine Flu, MERS and SARS. This trend is approaching pandemic proportions with recent news about the “killer Chinese coronavirus”, 2019-nCoV, recently renamed “Covid-19” by the WHO. It is vitally important to investigate methods of mitigating and treating this disease, beyond conventional microbiology and laboratory vaccine developments. Colloidal silver is the way, since it can be used effectively as both a remedy and a preventive.

Viruses such as the coronavirus (Covid-19) are very small, sub-microscopic entities that are about 1,000 times smaller than bacteria. A virus must have a host cell or bacteria in which to live and make more viruses. Viruses cannot function outside a host cell and are opportunistic in looking for a cell to invade. They can enter the body through the nose, mouth or breaks in the skin. However, the coronavirus preferentially seeks out lung cells.

Upon entering the lung cells, the Covid-19 virus particle attaches to a host cell and releases genetic instructions into the cell that interacts with the host cell’s enzymes to make new virus particles. These newly created viruses can break out of the cell and are free to infect other parts of the body. Colloidal silver is an effective method of neutralizing, or in fact, killing the coronavirus. Colloidal silver reacts with the oxygen metabolizing enzyme in the cell wall. It effectively blocks its ability to receive oxygen, rapidly killing the self replicating process of the virus.

Colloidal silver can be used as a remedy, as described above in killing the coronavirus. An effective way of doing this is through inhalation, since the coronavirus selectively seeks lung cells. Colloidal silver water can be used in nebulizers, atomizers and ultrasonic humidifiers to produce a fine mist of moist, silver-laden air for inhalation into the lungs. Depending on the device, the face and nose can be positioned close to the source of the mist, or some devices have special masks and fittings to place over the nose. Breathe deeply and inhale the colloidal silver laden mist in an effort to kill or mitigate the virus.

Dangerous Viruses:

Viruses play a role in causing some cancers and may be responsible in Alzheimer’s, MS, Parkinson’s, Diabetes, chronic fatigue, mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr Virus). They can be so small as to enter and infect bacteria. Even smaller, <20 nm, are the prions which cause Mad Cow Disease and possibly other brain disorders.  There is considerable evidence that silver nanoparticles of less than 10 nanometers are likely to inactivate most viruses and prions.
