MRSA (Multiple-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)

I have been researching MRSA for a while now and one treatment that keeps coming up over and over is colloidal silver, but I can never find enough substantial information to convince me that this is a sure cure for MRSA. But now I’ve found that information!

For about 20 years the cure for MRSA has been known, the discovery was made by Dr. Robert O. Becker. During his stay at Syracuse Medical University back in the 1980′s he was doing groundbreaking research on electronically generated silver ions that led to the discovery of the cure which is tiny particles of mineral silver usually suspended in liquid or cream, known as colloidal silver and it is completely natural.

But because the cure was natural the FDA helped downplay the findings. One way this happened was in 1999 the FDA passed a ruling saying colloidal silver is not a effective infection fighting substance and it would be misbranded if advertised for such uses. Which seems counterproductive since colloidal silver has a ~90 year (since the 1920′s) medical history showing its effectiveness against most if not all infectious illnesses and diseases.

But thankfully there are some brand-new studies with fascinating information about colloidal silver proving that it is a win-win in the medical field, especially for MRSA. Which is good because the infection is causing more deaths than AIDS yearly. I will write about the studies in later posts.

But to make things even worse than they are now the EPA has entered the picture and is now claiming the right to regulate silver products including colloidal silver as pesticides. The claim is if colloidal silver gets into the nation’s waterways and ecosystems that it might wipe out ecologically sensitive microorganisms that the environment depends on to sustain itself. Basically this means any colloidal silver manufacturers will need to register silver products with the EPA, which means millions of dollars of experiments and testing, lab equipment, and lots of time.

One thing I’ve found that completely squashes that argument actually is proven by simple high school science, which is when the tiny electrically charged micro-particles reenter the environment they will very rapidly bond with other substances such as minerals And salts. This process is called agglomeration and the effect neutralizes silvers toxicity to microbes and essentially it will return over to its natural state.

At any rate I’m very happy to have found a sure cure for MRSA for other people to benefit from. But one thing that keeps me wondering is why colloidal silver was downplayed for 20 years but when “new” compelling evidence came out it was deemed so potent that it is a danger to the environment and needs to be regulated.
