The Safety Concerns of Nanotechnology and the Benefits of Non-Nano Colloidal Silver

Some drugs can now be delivered through ‘nanovehicles’. However, nanotechnology carries risks, the primary one being lung damage. Studies have shown that most nanoparticles migrate to the lungs. Other organs are susceptible to damage as well.

Instead of inducing apoptosis, nanoparticles induced autophagy, a process that degrades damaged materials in a cell. Scientists have found that sometimes an overactivity of this destruction process leads to cell death.

One area where the use of nanoparticles seems to be growing is colloidal silver. Still, studies show cause for concern. Nanosilver may damage mitochondria, which leads to DNA damage.

This is why customers should be on the lookout for non-nano Colloidal Silver. Life Choice Colloidal Silver has no nanoparticles. Instead, we use a homeopathic preparation, which is electrically charged with 20 ppm silver ions.

Silver’s importance in medical applications is increasing, due to the upsurge in antibiotic-resistant bacteria: even wound dressings are incorporating silver to protect against such infections, which are now rampant throughout our hospitals.

Supportive studies are showing that silver ions are highly effective against bacterial infections, including the resistant ones.  Silver also kills bacteria in external wounds in living tissue, and therefore physicians use wound dressings containing silver sulfadiazine (Ag-SD) to treat external infections.

In addition, silver is used in medical applications, such as urinary catheters and endotracheal breathing tubes, where the silver content is effective in reducing incidences of catheter-related urinary tract infections and ventilator-associated pneumonia, respectively.

Silver is also used in bone prostheses, reconstructive orthopedic surgery and cardiac devices, as well as on surfaces and fabrics to reduce the spread of infection.

The beauty of taking electrical (20 ppm) and homeopathic charged molecules is the energy transference through hand mixing.

Concerns of health authorities regarding consumption of colloidal silver are ably answered here, with this homeopathically-prepared colloidal silver formulation.

Homeopathy, which is a therapeutic method using micro-doses (parts per million) of natural substances from plants, animals, and minerals, has never raised safety issues due to the extreme dilution of the remedies; such micro-doses are used in order to stimulate the body’s natural mechanisms to protect and heal itself.

This combination adds a two-fold potency, compared with just electrically charged molecules. The suspended silver mimics and works with our own immune system, charging it upon delivery and without nanoparticles.
