How does colloidal silver work?  (Further Insights)
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 threemechanisms of deactivation that silver utilizes to incapacitate disease causing organisms. They areCatalytic Oxidation, Reaction with Cell Membranes, and Binding with the DNA of disease organisms to prevent unwinding.
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.
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.
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.


Simply
How Colloidal Silver Works Against A Virus
A single virus will invade a living cell of body tissue. 
The pathogen will take over the nucleus of the cell and alter its production/reproductive mechanism so as to replicate itself instead of the enzyme, hormone or other chemical the cell was intended to produce.
As the virus changes the cell for its own purposes, the cell reverts to a more primitive form of cell structure and chemistry. 
The oxygen-metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung, in the cell wall also reverts and is vulnerable to the effect of Colloidal Silver.
The catalytic effect of the Colloidal Silver inhibits the enzyme which then cannot function to bring oxygen into the cell. The virus-producing cell now dies and is eliminated along with the millions of cells that end their usefulness each day. 

How Colloidal Silver Works Against Bacteria.
Bacteria, which are single-celled & primitive, use an enzyme, or chemical lung, for their oxygen metabolism. 
The presence of Colloidal Silver inhibits the enzyme, causing suffocation. The bacteria will be killed within minutes and without any effect on the surrounding tissue cells. 

How Colloidal Silver Works Against Fungus
A fungus is a series of single cells having tiny tubes of the material of the cell wall stretched between the cells. 
Fungus still exhibits that characteristic of any one-celled bacterium – a chemical lung which is immobilised by the presence of Colloidal Silver. 
It takes only minutes to suffocate the attacking fungus. 

Parasitic Infections
Taking larger doses spread over the day, for several days, should interrupt the life-cycle of the tiny, worm-like animals that burrow through a particular organ. 
These parasites reproduce by laying eggs which have the same characteristics of the oxygen-metabolising enzyme as the primitive single-celled bacterium. 
Without their oxygen supply these eggs cannot hatch, and die.

The article published by the Silver Institute, "Silver, The Healthful Metal", has this explanation of colloidal silver's biological action:
"The mechanism by which silver inactivates bacteria and some viruses is not clear. Primarily, silver reacts with the bacterium's cell wall. The cell wall of bacteria is a structure of proteins connected by amino acids to provide it with mechanical strength and stability. The structural proteins are called peptidoglycans. Silver reacts with the exposed peptidoglycans, blocking their ability to transfer oxygen (energy) into the cell thus inactivating the bacteria, which results in expiration. If the silver ions are removed from the cell immediately, the function of the bacteria may be restored."
4. Silver's Increasing Importance to Health
February 28, 1997 
In a world concerned with the spreading of virus and disease, silver is increasingly being tapped for its bactericidal properties and used in treatments for conditions ranging from severe burns to Legionnaires Disease.
While silver's importance as a bactericide has been documented only since the late 1800s, its use in purification has been known throughout the ages. Early records indicate that the Phoenicians, for example, used silver vessels to keep water, wine and vinegar pure during their long voyages. In America, pioneers moving west put silver and copper coins in their water barrels to keep it clean.
Spread of Legionnaires Disease
In response to major outbreaks of Legionnaire's Disease in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, the British government has undertaken studies on the use of silver in water purification. The disease is named after Legionella pneumophilia, an aquatic organism which is widespread in small quantities within natural water sources. Recent research compared silver-copper ionization with the use of high temperatures to destroy bacteria. Even at lower water temperatures, ionization of soft water with silver and copper ions was effective against the bacteria.
Important in Burn Therapy
Silver also has had a significant impact on the treatment of burns. Twenty years ago it was common for the wounds of severely burned patients to become infected, which delayed healing and sometimes led to death. Today silver sulfadiazine is used by hospitals worldwide to kill bacteria allowing the body time to restore the area naturally.
Keeping Plastic Clean 
Widespread concerns that viruses can survive in body fluids deposited on plastic consumer products such as telephones prompted the Institute for Microbial Diseases in Osaka, Japan to develop a new silver complex that can be applied for lasting sanitary protection.
Promoting Skin Growth
Silver also has been successfully used to grow new skin on accident victims, including the restoration of fingertips with the original fingerprint. Individuals whose wounds are so severe they lose tissue below the skin often never fully recover, left with only a thin layer of skin without the original nerve structure. This inferior skin layer results in abnormal sensations and intolerance to cold. Skin grafts cover the wounds, but do not restore the functions of the area.
In a treatment developed by Mountain Medical Specialties of Lakemont, GA, a silver-coated fabric is used to cover the wound. A miniature battery is connected to the fabric to begin a flow of silver ions to encourage normal skin growth and eliminate bacteria which generally prevents complete regeneration of the skin and nerve function. This method has actually restored the natural skin patterns and sensations in the palms of hands.
Purifying Water 
Silver-based water purification units for the home have been in use in Europe for more than 50 years. Today Brita Products Company markets a silver-impregnated activated carbon filter containing ionexchange resins.
Eliminating Harmful Bacteria 
Tests by researchers at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences show that silver and copper ions added to oyster tanks destroy harmful bacteria in the water without affecting the oysters. Once oysters are harvested from the ocean, they are cleaned in "depuration" tanks which are prone to bacteria infiltration. Silver ions added to the water destroy bacteria and copper ions kill fungus, making an inexpensive and environmentally friendly combination for keeping oyster tanks clean. "Silver and copper ionization is the perfect solution," says Richard Ganim, president of Superior Aqua Enterprises in Sarasota, Florida.
"The applications for ionization are almost endless," Ganim said. Currently ionization is used by chicken farmers to reduce bacteria and fungus without affecting the health of the chickens. "We think this system will also work for citrus growers" who routinely spray their trees with chemicals.

"Colloidal Silver Fabulous Facts"
"The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems."
"Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, Colloidal Silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Thus Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants, and all multi-celled living matter."
"Colloidal Silver is the result of an electro-magnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver into a liquid such as water. These microscopic particles can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body. Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that all one celled bacteria, fungi, and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. In short, it suffocate the bad guys. "

The Friendly Bacteria

This is not normally killed due to the high absorption of silver in the small intestine, normal doses are absorbed before they reach the friendly bacteria of the large intestine. 

Problems in
the large intestine.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diarrhoea etc.
The pathogen causing the problem is active in the large intestine, the one place where Colloidal Silver, when used as normally recommended, will NOT penetrate.
How to get round this!
Drinking a one-off dose of 200ml of Colloidal Silver added to at least 500ml of chlorine-free water, on an empty stomach and bladder first thing in the morning followed by a 20 minute lay down, should give almost immediate relief from the worst symptoms.

After this, the Intestinal Flora will need replenishing with acidophilus.
To get the acidophilus past the stomach it needs to be taken on an empty stomach with at least 500 ml of chlorine-free water.
Side-Effects.
Some people may feel achy, sluggish or may experience headaches the first few days after beginning Colloidal Silver.
Do not worry, this is a normal "healing crisis". When the body sloughs off a great many toxins at once, the elementary organs can become over-loaded.
Simply drinking lots of extra water should lessen the symptoms dramatically.
Guidelines For Use
Individual needs will vary for the average amount of Colloidal Silver needed for optimum benefit.
Adult Dose
Start on 15ml under the tongue for one minute first thing in the morning and allow five minutes before food or drink. This amount should be taken for the first 3-4 days then increase to 15ml morning and night for a 30 day period, this will give a general cleansing to the system. After this a maintenance dose of 10ml daily.

Children/Babies
For newborn to 4 year old use 1/4 of the adult dosages. For children use half of the adult dosages. 

For serious complaints: a larger dose may be necessary.
Mix 200ml of Colloidal Silver with 500ml of good water, drink, then lay down for 20 minutes (if possible drink even more water than recommended as this helps the flushing process). This is best done first thing in the morning prior to eating or drinking but after emptying bladder. For chronic problems this dose should be repeated weekly until symptoms are alleviated. 
Suitable for vegetarians.
NOTE
Do not start this program if you do not intend to drink a minimum of one to two litres of water a day in conjunction with colloidal silver.

Connecting is easy, simply register to get a number, download the internet telephone program (Spikkophone) and install it.
      Once you have registered, anyone who wishes to contact you can do so with your new number in Israel from any landline or cellular phone. Your Spikkophone will ring you wherever you are connected around the globe . If you are not connected to the internet, your contact may leave you voicemail. The voicemail will be forwarded to your email address. You may also listen to voicemails at Spikko.com.

    *


      When are my minutes updated?

      Remaining minutes are updated as soon as an outgoing call is completed. Press the Refresh button on your Spikko portal to see the up-to-date status.
      Spikkophone will show your current status after about one minute.

    *


      Can I make outgoing calls from my Spikkophone?

      As you get calls and invite friends to join you will accumulate minutes. The more calls you get and the more friends that you invite, the more minutes you get. These minutes can be used to make outgoing calls to anywhere you like.
      You can see the number of minutes that you have accumulated on your Spikkophone or on spikko.com. To invite friends to Spikko click here.

    *


      Who needs it?

      Spikko is for anyone who wants to stop paying for telephone service.
      The service is great for anyone spending time overseas yet wants to be accessible on an Israeli phone number. The number is permanent and requires no maintenance, service or fee.
      The service is also perfect for businessmen who spend a lot of time overseas in offices and hotels but want to be easily accessible.
      Also, The service is good for students or others who spend long or short time overseas.
      The service is good for backpackers who want to listen to their voicemails at internet cafes or to download Spikkophone and make calls for free (depending on the permissions given at the internet cafe)
      The service is also great for teenagers who want their own telephone number.

    *


      How much does it cost to call a Spikko member?

      Someone calling Spikko pays the same amount she or he would pay for a regular cellular call.

    *


      Can I use my Spikkophone number on my business card?

      Certainly, the number you get is yours alone, and won't be passed to anyone else. So you can definitely put it on your card.

      What happens when I have no more Spikko minutes for outgoing calls?*

      You can gain minutes by enrolling your friends to join Club Spikko.
      You get minutes for the time your friends spend talking on Spikkophone with people who called them from non Spikko phones.
      Enrolling friends is quick and easy, simply send an email from Spikko's web site.
      It is important to know that the minutes you get from the friends you invited do not affect the minutes they accumulate. Your friends get exactly the same service, and accumulate minutes in the same way that you do. The system constantly checks who is using the Spikkophone and who gets Spikko minutes.
      In addition you can send a "Call me" SMS to any cell phone number in Israel. This way you can continue talking while accumulating minutes. The number of free SMSs is limited.
      Important Note – Messages left on your voicemail earn you minutes as well. So you can even gain minutes when you are inaccessible.
      To learn more about the methods of accumulating minutes,
      * This refers to the minutes one has for calls to external phones - regular and cellular.

      What's the difference between Spikko and Skype?

      Skype is a low cost phone service, whereas Spikko is a completely free service in which you can make outgoing calls to any telephone or cellphone, at no cost, according to the number of minutes you have accumulated (as opposed to Skype which requires payment).
      With Spikko you get your own local telephone number for free which lets others reach you from their telephone or cell phone at no cost to you.
      In addition, Spikko members get a free voicemail box, enabling others to leave voice messages when you are not on-line. Voicemail is a pay service in Skype.
      Spikko users can also send free "call me" SMSs, letting others know that you are online. This service is not available on Skype.

    *


      Is it possible to see who is calling?

      If the person calling is in your contact list, their name will be displayed when they call, otherwise you will see their regurlar telephone number. In addition you can see a list of all the callers, including the duration of the call, by clicking on the call history in Spikkophone.

    *


      Can I activate the Spikkophone simultaneously at home and in the office?

      At this time a member can connect to Spikkophone from only one location at a time. Logging into two Spikkophones simultaneously with the same member is not yet supported. To use Spikkophone at the office (or any other location) you must be disconnected at home. We hope to improve upon this in the future.
