The literature and decades of experience indicate that mono-atomic silver could be highly effective against many strains of the virus. Antibiotics kill off only a few strains of bacteria. None are effective against viruses, yeasts, molds, or fungi.
AIDS, Cancers, Alzheimers, Parkinsons’, Multiple Sclerosis, and even Diabetes are thought to be associated with some kind of virus.
Whereas many drugs on the market suppress certain symptoms of a cold, mono-atomic silver is thought to deactivate the virus that causes it. The following study shows Silver Nanoparticles attach to and deactivate the HIV-1 virus.
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) exists in two forms: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Either virus can infect the mouth or genitals but HSV –1 most commonly causes cold sores around the mouth and HSV –2 causes genital herpes.
The Centre for Disease Control reports that the incidence of herpes has risen in the last ten years, from 16% to 21%. This means that one in five people are infected with the virus. Four out of five have HSV –1 and one in five has HSV –2. Many don’t know they are infected because they are not in an active phase with blisters or sores.
Most of the time HSV is inactive, staying in a nerve root at the base of the spine where it does no harm. In the active phase, however, it travels along the nerve to the skin where it causes irritation, bumps, blisters or sores which shed virus into the environment and other people. A major precipitating factor for an outbreak is depression accompanied by stress. Link to our Herpes page
Like many other viruses, the herpes virus has the ability to conceal itself inside the body’s cells and to take over the cell’s ability to replicate itself. The cell then replicates a new virus. Acyclovir and silver act at the cellular level to prevent the herpes virus from replicating, and don’t actually kill the herpes virus. As such they are not a “cure” but do provide considerable help in managing aspects of the disease, such as passing it on, and relief from symptoms. A useful gel with aloe vera and containing COLLOIDAL SILVER is available from Biophysica.
A related virus is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) responsible for the highly infectious genital and peri-anal warts and is associated with cancer of the cervix. It is the most common virally transmitted sexual disease-causing warts in 1.4 million people and sub-clinically infecting an estimated 100 million people.
