A catalyst is best described as a substance that brings about
(causes) a reaction or occurrence, without itself participating or being
consumed.
Richard Davies and Samuel Etris of The Silver Institute, in a 1996
monograph entitled “The Development and Functions of Silver in Water
Purification and Disease Control”, discuss three mechanisms of
deactivation that silver utilizes to incapacitate disease causing
organisms. They are:

1) Catalytic Oxidation

Silver, in its atomic state, has the
capacity to absorb oxygen and act as a catalyst to bring about
oxidation. Atomic (nascent) oxygen absorbed onto the surface of silver
ions in solution will readily react with the sulfhydryl (-S-H) groups
surrounding the surface of bacteria or viruses to remove the hydrogen
atoms (as water), causing the sulfur atoms to form an R-S-S-R bond;
blocking respiration and causing the bacteria to expire. Employing a
simple catalytic reduction/oxidation reaction, colloidal silver will
react with any negative charge presented by the organism’s transport or
membrane proteins and deactivate them.

2) Reaction with Bacterial Cell Membranes

There is evidence that silver ions
attach to membrane surface radicals of bacteria, impairing cell
respiration and blocking its energy transfer system. One explanation is
based on the nature of enzyme construction: Specific enzymes are
required for a given biochemical activity to take place. Enzyme
molecules usually require a specific metallic atom as part of the
molecular matrix in order to function. A metal of higher valance can
replace a metal of lower valance in the enzyme complex, preventing the
enzyme from functioning normally. Silver, with a valance of plus 2, can
replace many metals with a lower, or equal valance that exhibit weaker
atomic bonding properties.

3) Binding with DNA

Studies by C.L. Fox and S.M. Modak with
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a tenacious bacteria that is difficult to
treat, demonstrated that as much as 12% of silver is taken up by the
organism’s DNA. While it remains unclear exactly how the silver binds to
the DNA without destroying the hydrogen bonds holding the lattice
together, it nevertheless prevents the DNA from unwinding, an essential
step for cellular replication to occur.


Silver helps rebuild tissue


The mechanism by which silver ions help rebuild tissue has been
studied for more than a decade by Robert O. Becker, M.D. of Becker
Biomagnetics in New York.
Dr. Becker initially reported his findings at the First International
Conference on Silver and Gold in Medicine, co-sponsored by The Silver
Institute in 1987. Since then, this technique has been used in clinical
settings where hundreds of patients with various wounds have recovered.
In addition, a laboratory study conducted by the US Army Institute for
Surgical Research in Houston, Texas, showed that laboratory animals with
burns treated under controlled conditions experienced shortened time
for reconstruction with silver-nylon dressings.

Recovery of skin function was faster when electric current was
applied compared to no application of electric current. Dr. Becker
received a US patent for the devices, materials, and techniques involved
in the regeneration of tissue using silver ions.


Dr. Becker explains how colloidal silver works


After several hundred cases, Dr. Becker believes that the technique
works in three stages. The first stage is the chemical combination of
highly active free silver ions with all bacteria or fungi present in the
wound, which are inactivated within 20 to 30 minutes. The second stage
occurs over the next few days. Silver acts on fibroblast cells to cause
them to revert to their embryonic state, becoming stem cells. These
cells are universal building blocks whose role is to reconstruct new
tissue. In the final stage, silver ions form a complex with the living
cells in the wound area to produce immediately convertible stem cells.
The end result of this conversion is that the stem cells supply all the
building blocks necessary to completely restore all anatomical
structures.

Additional research by Dr. Becker indicated that during laboratory tests he conducted, cancer cells reverted to normal (not killed, but returned to normal).
Other observations he and others have made are a correlation between
silver deficiency and illness, proper immune system functioning, soft
tissue and bone repair acceleration, the formation of cells that appear
to be able to repair virtually any part of the body, reduction of
inflammation, antimicrobial, antifungal, antibiotic properties, etc. All
of these observations are yet to be fully understood.
Patients have found relief from staph, strep, prostate and sinus
infections, as well as laryngitis and sore throats, when treated with
colloidal silver, says Debra Brammer, N.D., a naturopathic physician and
faculty member at Seattle-based Bastyr University. Though few medical
professionals are familiar with colloidal silver, no one disputes the
need for an alternative to traditional antibiotics. Its proponents cite
decades of word of mouth supporting its effectiveness, as well as
published clinical studies in Europe and Australia.

No other known treatment provides sufficient numbers of the embryonic
or stem cells required for true regeneration of damaged or destroyed
tissues in human and animals. The success indicates that there is the
potential not only for the healing of near-surface wounds, but also for
regenerative repair of internal organs such as the heart, liver, brain,
and the spinal cord.


Where can you get the very best colloidal silver in the world?


Most colloidal silvers are made using electrical currents pulsing
through silver rods that are submerged in distilled water. The result is
that the electrical current flows through the rods and kicks out silver
ions into the distilled water which means there’s actually no real
silver in it at all! That’s called ionic colloidal silver.

That said, though we don’t make NutraSilver that way, there’s nothing
wrong with ionic colloidal silver. Any colloidal silver made that way
is probably a great product, it comes out nice and clear like water. The
issue is that the concentration is always weak (won’t kill powerful
infections) and ionic colloidal silver isn’t made using real metallic
silver particles.

NutraSilver is made from elemental silver that is mined from our precious earth
and put through a proprietary process to create nano-silver which is
then given a slight positive charge so that the nano-silver becomes a
colloid that suspends nicely and evenly in pure distilled water.

That process is completely unique to NutraSilver.
Creating sub-microscopic nano particles of real silver is what makes
NutraSilver so powerful. It’s just one more innovation that we’re proud
of.

The result is a dark yellow solution, which is exactly what it should be.
When light is refracted through water off of nano-sized silver
particles it gives off a yellow reflection, the darker the yellow the
higher the concentration of nano-silver.

Some people are scared of the yellow tint because they’ve been told
it’s dirty or weird. It’s not at all. That’s what nature produces. It’s
impossible to have real nano-silver in water and have it be any other
color.

So what does that mean to you? It means NutraSilver is a true colloidal silver,
as it was meant to be. It also means that NutraSilver is one of a kind
in that it is formulated with real nano-sized silver particles that move
through your body and blood stream quickly and effectively.

• Despite long-held misconceptions, coffee drinking has major beneficial health effects.
  
• A recent massive study showed a 10-15% reduction in the risk of dying among people who consumed 6 or more cups of coffee
  daily. Coffee drinking sharply lowers the
  risk of developing many chronic, age-related conditions, including cognitive decline,
  cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
  
• The newly discovered bioactive components in coffee are polyphenols, especially chlorogenic acid.
  
• But standard processing destroys much
  of the polyphenol content.
  
• An improved, patented method for handling coffee prior to roasting can boost the
  beverage's content of chlorogenic acid
  and other polyphenols by more than 200%, potentially reducing the number of daily
  cups required to achieve optimum health.

If you live in the U.S. and drink Mountain Dew and some other
citrus-flavored sodas, then you are also getting a dose of a synthetic
chemical called brominated vegetable oil (BVO).

BVO was first patented by chemical companies as a flame retardant.

The chemical is banned in food throughout Europe and Japan.

But BVO has been added to about 10 percent of sodas in North America
for decades, even though it has resulted in soda-drinkers needing
medical attention for skin lesions, memory loss and nerve disorders --
all symptoms of overexposure to bromine.

Studies suggest that BVO can build up in human tissues, and animal
studies have found it causes reproductive and behavioral problems in
large doses.

According to Scientific American:

"Reports from an industry group helped the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration establish in 1977 what it considers a safe limit for BVO
in sodas.

But some scientists say that limit is based on data that is thin
and several decades old, and they insist that the chemical deserves a
fresh look ...

With natural alternatives already in use in other countries, why not switch in North America too?"

Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is vegetable oil, derived from corn or
soy, bonded with the element bromine. It's added as an emulsifier, to
prevent the flavoring from separating and floating to the surface. The
FDA limits the amount of BVO allowed in fruit-flavored beverages to 15
parts per million.

Bromines are common endocrine disruptors, and are part of the halide
family, a group of elements that includes fluorine, chlorine and iodine.
What makes it so dangerous is that it competes for the same receptors
that are used to capture iodine. If you are exposed to a lot of bromine,
your body will not hold on to the iodine that it needs. And iodine
affects every tissue in your body, not just your thyroid.






Health Risks of Bromine

As mentioned, when you ingest or absorb bromine, it displaces iodine. The resulting iodine deficiency can in turn lead to an increased risk for cancer of the breast,
thyroid gland, ovary and prostate -- cancers that we see at alarmingly
high rates today. This phenomenon is significant enough to have been
given its own name: the Bromide Dominance Theory.

Bromine is also toxic in and of itself. It can accumulate in your
tissues, central nervous system, and breast milk, resulting in a number
of health problems. One 1971 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition concluded that:

"These findings, in conjunction with previous animal
studies and with the geographical differences in the use of brominated
vegetable oils as food additives, suggest that the high bromine levels
found in the fat of tissues from UK children are due to the use of these
compounds."

One 1983 animal study
also found that rats receiving one percent BVO in their feed suffered
impaired fertility, and at two percent, they became completely
infertile.

Bromine is known to act as a central nervous system depressant, and
can trigger a number of psychological symptoms such as acute paranoia
and other psychotic symptoms. In fact, in an audio interview, physician Jorge Flechas
reported that, between 1920 and 1960, at least 20 percent of all
hospital admissions for "acute paranoid schizophrenia" were a result of
ingesting bromine-containing products. In addition to psychiatric
problems, bromine toxicity can manifest as:

• Skin rashes and severe acne
  
• Loss of appetite and abdominal pain
  
• Fatigue
  
• Metallic taste
  
• Cardiac arrhythmias
  

Scientific American cites two case studies of bromine toxicity in humans:

"In 1997, emergency room doctors at University of California, Davis reported a patient with severe bromine intoxication
from drinking two to four liters of orange soda every day. He developed
headaches, fatigue, ataxia (loss of muscle coordination) and memory
loss. In a 2003 case reported in Ohio,
a 63-year-old man developed ulcers on his swollen hands after drinking
eight liters of Red Rudy Squirt every day for several months. The man
was diagnosed with bromoderma, a rare skin hypersensitivity to bromine
exposure. The patient quit drinking the brominated soft drink and months
later recovered."

Bromine's Effect on Your Thyroid

Iodine is crucial for proper thyroid function. Without
iodine, your thyroid gland would be completely unable to produce thyroid
hormone. Even the names of the different forms of thyroid hormone
reflect the number of iodine molecules attached -- T4 has four attached
iodine molecules, and T3 (the biologically active form of the hormone)
has three--showing what an important part iodine plays in thyroid
biochemistry. Hypothyroidism is far more prevalent than once thought in the U.S.

The latest estimates are that 13 million Americans have
hypothyroidism, but the actual numbers are probably higher. Some experts
claim that 10 to 40 percent of Americans have suboptimal thyroid
function.

But many of these folks may actually have nothing wrong with their
thyroid gland at all. They may just be suffering from iodine deficiency,
brought on by too little iodine-containing foods and/or too much
exposure to bromine—whether in the form of bromine-laced foods and
drinks, or from some other source—which end up blocking iodine uptake…

For more in-depth information about bromine's impact on your thyroid health, please see this previous article.

Ditch the Soda to Dramatically Improve Your Health

In the featured article,
Walter Vetter, a food chemist at Germany's University of Hohenheim,
suggests American soda makers could easily replace BVO with something
far safer, such as hydrocolloids, which are used in many sodas sold in
Europe.

"They are almost exclusively natural products," Vetter says.

The reason for soda makers' unwillingness to swap out the offending
ingredient for their American customers is unclear, but considering the
fact that many of these sodas are already sold overseas without BVO in them, one can only surmise that their unwillingness to change has to do with cost…

Personally, I strongly recommend ditching all sodas, regardless of
where you live or what particular additives are included, as the primary
health hazard of soda consumption is tied to the excessive amounts of
fructose you're ingesting. Quite simply, it's a leading contributor to
the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic
diseases facing Americans. Just one can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a single year, not to mention increase your risk of diabetes by 85 percent!

There's really no shortage of research showing the profound impact of soda consumption on your health. For example:

• Dr. David Ludwig of Boston Children's Hospital did a study of the effects of sugar-sweetened drinks on obesity in children. He found that for each additional serving of a sugar-sweetened drink, both body mass index and odds of obesity increased.
  
• The Fizzy Drink Study in Christchurch, England explored the
  effects on obesity when soda machines were removed from schools for one
  year. In the schools where the machines were removed, obesity stayed
  constant. In the schools where soda machines remained, obesity rates continued to rise.
  
• In a 2009 study, 16 volunteers were fed a controlled diet
  including high levels of fructose. Ten weeks later, the volunteers had produced new fat cells around their hearts, livers and other digestive organs.
  They also showed signs of food-processing abnormalities linked to
  diabetes and heart disease. A second group of volunteers who were fed a
  similar diet, but with glucose replacing fructose, did not have these
  problems.
  

Weaning yourself and your kids off the sweet stuff, and replacing it
with clean, pure water can be one of the most profoundly beneficial
changes you'll ever make.
