Research and Clinical Studies on the Anti-Microbial Properties of Silver

Research and Clinical Studies on the Anti-Microbial Properties of Silver
By Ben Taylor (Utopia Silver Supplements- UtopiaSilver.com) April, 2025; Mainstream medicine, pharmaceutical companies, and even government agencies claim that “there are no clinical studies or research indicating or proving the efficacy of colloidal silver". It has become such a dogmatic mantra by corrupt government agencies and mainstream medicine that it is more a religion than anything resembling science. The denial isn’t limited to colloidal silver, but to silver in general for that matter. If there were an admission that silver kills one-celled organisms, then it stands to reason that silver suspended in water will do no less. Therefore the lie is repeated over and over as a very effective propaganda tool by corrupt government agencies providing cover for the pharmaceutical industry (Pharma-Industrial Complex). Ironically, even mainstream medicine in modern times has accepted the use of silver in some situations. For example: burn wards in their use of silver bandages and silver impregnated cream and in drops for baby’s eyes to prevent bacterial infection at birth. The notion that there are no clinical studies proving the effectiveness and safety of silver is simply a "house of cards" built on a multitude of lies. Colloidal Silver, The Biggest Threat To Anti-biotics: The list below proves the mountain of lies about Colloidal Silver. It may be the biggest threat to the pharmaceutical cartel’s mega-money making antibiotic industry. They simply do not want any competition, even from a simple mineral with possibly the oldest historical use of any health and healing agent or mineral supplement. It matters not to the medical establishment that the effectiveness of antibiotics is limited only to bacterial infections and that its use is becoming less and less effective the more they are used unnecessarily. Colloidal silver is not a new product, it is not a new supplement, nor is it new as a component in medical applications. It is simply a natural mineral in suspension or in solution in a water medium. Silver’s historical use as an anti-microbial agent in various forms is undeniable and until the advent of more profitable patented medicine development by the pharmaceutical industry was widely accepted by mainstream medicine. Ironically, that is when colloidal silver regardless of its unparalleled germ killing ability became the whipping-boy of mainstream medicine and government alike. These are some of those many cases in the self-protection mindset of the medical establishment and their government agency conspirators where truth, science, and the public health are damned in favor of medical industry profits. Although more recent mainstream studies using colloidal silver (silver suspended in distilled water) may be limited, it is because of the industry's fear of re-discovering a more effective antibacterial agent and then having to publicly admit it. Logically and factually, the mineral silver in a water suspension works the same internally as it does topically to kill pathogens/germs as when used in a cream or a bandage. Following is a list of clinical studies concerning the use of silver in various forms, from silver anti-microbial wound dressings to anti-microbial silver polymer for the treatment of venous leg ulcers to the use of ionic silver to promote healing: Silver Research & Clinical Studies: 1. “The Use of Colloids In Health and Disease”; Alfred B.

IN SUMMARY: Man’s knowledge and use of silver as an anti-microbial is as old as the history of mankind and there have been volumes of research on silver for many decades. Alfred B. Searle, the founder of Searle Pharmaceuticals, which later became Monsanto Chemical Co., did scientific studies on silver and wrote a book about his research in the 1920s. Anyone claiming that credible research has not been done concerning silver is either intentionally lying or is simply ignorant of the truth and should not be in anything resembling a position of authority. (NOTE: These studies concerning the efficacy of silver as an ani-microbial agent pre-date 2007. This is prior to the time of the hyper-concentrated efforts by government agencies and their pharmaceutical controllers to suppress the use of silver.
