Silver Iontophoresis |
|
This document explores silver iontophoresis as an experimental means to address subdermal infections and otherwise untreatable skin conditions. By delivering silver ions through the skin barrier with minute amounts of electrical current, it is possible to address otherwise hard to reach locations and possibly speed tissue healing. This method should be approached very cautiously, as even small amounts of current can cause tissue damage.
Free book on Therapeutic, Living Clay  Biological Terrain and Method of Delivery Can Limit Colloidal Silver EffectivenessSilver, in its many forms, has been proven time and time again as one of the most effective substances in controlling and/or eradicating bacteria. In particular, "isolated" silver ions ( ions bound only with OH - ) have been demonstrated to be the most effective form of silver against infection causing organisms. However, in order for silver to be effective in-vivo, the silver particles and/or ions must reach the pathogens and be able to attach to special receptors located on bacterial cell walls ( silver ions ) or otherwise act in direct contact with any disease causing organisms ( silver particles ); the silver must be in an effective state and the biological terrain must be conducive to the entire process. As an example, colloidal silver has been reported to be both effective and ineffective against sinus infections when the silver is used locally. Irrigating the sinuses with a proper colloidal silver can be an extremely effective solution, but only if the colloidal silver penetrates the mucus membranes and reaches the site of the infection. In challenging cases, the sinuses must be drained by repeatedly irrigating the nasal passageways. A lung infection is another typical example. Lung infections respond very slowly to colloidal silver as used orally, if they respond at all. The colloidal silver, in such cases, never reaches the actual infection in concentrations great enough to be effective. However, colloidal silver used via a nebulizer is reported to be extremely effective against many different types of lung infections; the colloidal silver is delivered directly to the site of the infection where bacterial counts are rapidly reduced. Skin infections and subdermal ( beneath the skin ) infections are among the greatest challenges to treat with any healing modality. Colloidal silver often achieves very satisfactory results where all else fails. Even so, the reports of effectiveness have often been mixed. In some cases, the response to treatment is very prompt. Other cases show only a slight improvement while still others show no improvement at all -- and all in situations where the illness causing organism is known to be susceptible to silver. This is especially the case with some forms of the herpes virus, and numerous types of acne infections, such as cystic acne and other cyst-based infections. Electromedicine Offers a Possible Solution

As Dr. Robert O Becker demonstrated ( see the previous page on Dr. Becker's work ), too much current delivered into the body can produce the illusion of accelerated healing while causing actual cell damage. To further complicate matters, current will not travel uniformly through body tissues, nor will all tissues respond in the same manner to the same level of current. In particular, injured areas of the body have less electrical resistance and are more susceptible to being damaged through the process. As Dr. Becker noted, when minute levels of current are delivered to healing tissues, the electrical resistance slowly increases as healing progresses. The right amount of current, measured at the site in question ( and not necessarily on the surface of the skin ), with the right electrodes ( silver in particular ) will accelerate healing, kill bacteria, and may alter a cell's morphology to the point of dedifferentiation, including cancer cells. The wrong level of current will stimulate cancer growth ( by as much as 300% ), burn tissues, and cause direct electrolysis of body fluids resulting in the creation of gasses and other possible dangerous compounds.
We cannot speak from experience or with complete confidence as of yet concerning the ideal level of current to use for surface treatment of skin infections or subdermal infections. Our initial experiments demonstrated that currents as low as 0.3 milliamps could literally burn damaged tissue if the silver electrodes were placed directly to the skin. Of course, this level of current would not effect healthy tissues.
However, our limited experience demonstrated excellent results when using a conductive gel that saturated the entire area of treatment. Using a gel with an ideal ph level near 7.0 assists in the management of current flow, helping to prevent higher levels of current from traveling through damaged tissues.
We found that with a current level as "high" as 0.1 milliamps, each individual treatment should last from 5 to 15 seconds; "paths" of current are quickly established through the process, therefore the duration must be limited even if power is only cut for a brief moment.
To date, our experimentation has been very limited, pending a more versatile device design. However, our brief treatments with cystic acne clearly demonstrated that this method is worthy of serious consideration. Cysts caused by a bacterial infection begin to form beneath the skin, making early treatment nearly impossible. However, using this experimental method, if a forming cyst was treated soon enough upon formation, the infection could be eliminated, after which the body slowly eliminated the toxic byproducts without any form of skin eruption ( in three test cases ).
Cysts treated that were fully formed did not respond as favorably ( in two test cases ). This is not likely due to the bacteria itself, but rather the amount of fluid and toxic buildup already present in the tissues. In such cases, effectiveness is very difficult to measure, as the body's natural healing process is the same with or without treatment. However, results in this case, from our brief experiments, would no doubt leave the sufferer disappointed in the end result.
The possibility of treating a wide variety of conditions is very promising, although any such treatment must, for reasons explained on this page and the one before, be viewed as highly experimental. Results are not instantaneous, and it should be realized that any accidental tissue damage can cause an infection to spread and/or delay healing.
As we gain more definitive data/information, we will expand this section of the website.

Subject: Nebulized colloidal silver also silver/msm paste for skin infections
I have a small cs generator in use for about 10 years now mostly for my wife's lung infections which she constantly gets due to low lung volume from MS and it works very well as long as I get it before the infection gets into her blood it's much more effective than repeated antibiotic use with all the side effects.

Subject: Nebulized colloidal silver
I was intrigued by this statement in the article: However, colloidal silver used via a nebulizer is reported to be extremely effective against many different types of lung infections; the colloidal silver is delivered directly to the site of the infection where bacterial counts are rapidly reduced. Can you please let me know of any studies or verifiable information abut the use of nebulized colloidal silver in fighting lung infections? I noted the efficacy of colloidal silver against pseudomonas aurigonosa in the Texas U. study, and thinking about applications for fighting chronic infection related to cystic fibrosis. Thank you.

Subject: Re: Nebulized colloidal silver
Hi Adam: There have been no actual studies done to address the potential of silver ions in the lungs to address infections. However, a word to the wise: I have seen this method work in cases where the medical majority have given an individual a lethal prognosis. Insofar as ionic silver's effectiveness against disease causing organisms, the science has all been done, conclusively. In my mind, the question shouldn't be if silver would work, the question should be: based on the evidence to date, why wouldn't it work for lung infections? Now, in situations like cystic fibrosis, where infections are secondary to a primary cause, there is a much greater "grey area". However, the risks for testing a properly made product are extremely minute. We have several individuals with cystic fibrosis wbleepedhave contacted us and reported good results.

Subject: Questions about iontophoresis.
I've been reading up on Dr. Robert O. Becker's highly successful studies and experiments surrounding the use of silver and iontophoresis in regeneration/ healing of tissues. I am confused though and would like some questions to be answered, if you could. I've read here that relativley small amounts of current, in the millampere range are highly effective, whereas higher voltages can cause cell death and damage tissues. I am currently interested in a process called "blood electrification", where Dr. Bob Beck (not to be confused with Dr Robert O. Becker) found a way to introduce 50-100 millampers into the bloodstream to disable microbes. This was an alternative way to the original method discovered at Albert Einstein University where they found that deliverying such small currents into the blood stream actually disabled viruses, microbes, and pathogens inside the blood stream- the virus being tested was HIV. The small currents affected the virus in such a way that it could no longer attach to healthy cells, and was effectively disabled. However, they thought the only method was to surgically implant a device into the bloodstream to do this. Bob Beck on the other hand developed a device that could be used outside the body and non invasive. This delivered enough current through the skin so that when the current went through all the skin and tissue, it would degrade to the proper 50-100 millampere found effective at Albert Einstein University. However, to get the proper 50-100 millamperes to be effectivley delivered into the blood stream, you had to have increased voltages outside the skin to do this, otherwise the electrical current would be lost through the tissue barriers, etc. The voltages were relativley high though, from anywhere from 9-32Volts. In the blood, this would be measured at 50-100millamperes. From what I've read here, this can damage tissue(s), yet it has still been highly effective. Can you comment on this?

Subject: Re: Questions about iontophoresis.
Hi Julius: Great thoughts. Bob Beck's method is safe provided that the tissue you are using is healthy and clean. Remember that healthy, living tissue is more current resistant than diseased/damaged tissue. Furthermore, remember that iontophoresis changes cell permeability, so you want to be certain that the area to be used is cleaned (without chemicals). The one caution from Dr. Becker's perspective is the cancer issue. Becker noted that increased levels of energy had the potential to increase cancer cell growth by as much as 300%. He found no direct evidence, however, that using higher levels of energy would actually cause cancer; it only increases existing cancer cell growth rates. But note that Becker definatively determined that higher levels of current did not cause tissue regeneration or stem cell reversion. The current had to be very minute and carefully managed to achieve the regneration that he was working on. March 04, 2009 - 12:44

Subject: Re: treatment for herpes
Hi Kristin: The best treatment for herpes outbreak that we are aware of is the use of healing clay (green calcium montmorillonite) mixed with 50-75% colloidal silver and spring water. You simply make a paste, and apply it to the area very, very thick; never let the healing clay dry; change out the dressing as needed. December 21, 2008 - 12:31
