Healing Shingles Naturally with Colloidal Silver (April 19, 2021)

Healing Shingles Naturally with Colloidal Silver

While there have been no clinical studies on using colloidal silver to heal shingles outbreak and shingles neuralgia – i.e., the excruciating nerve pain that often goes along with a shingles outbreak, the anecdotal evidence is overwhelmingly positive!

Below, you’ll read the compelling personal stories of colloidal silver users who healed their shingles outbreaks and were able to get back to enjoying their normal daily routines again…

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…

“Shingles,” also known as herpes zoster virus outbreak, can cause a painful, blistering skin rash that can last two to four weeks, or even longer.

Pain from shingles can be excruciating, oftentimes described as deep burning or “stabbing” pain in conjunction with uncontrollable itching and deep, debilitating aches. Needless to say, an outbreak of shingles can really impact a person’s ability to enjoy life, even making the simplest of tasks extremely painful.

Some victims might also develop severe nerve pain that can last for months, or even for years after the rash goes away. This is called post-herpetic neuralgia, and it’s the most common complication of shingles.

Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus – the same virus that causes chickenpox. Apparently, if you’ve ever had chickenpox, this virus resides inside you for life, normally in a dormant state.

But experts say it can “reactivate” years later, particularly during times of physical or mental stress, and when immunity is low. This is why it so often afflicts the aged. Only, instead of causing chickenpox, it causes the painful “shingles” outbreaks.

Experts say that’s because the shingles virus prefers to live in the nerve cells of the human body, and when reactivated it inflames those cells resulting in feelings of painful burning.

Is Colloidal Silver Really Effective Against Shingles?

According to the book Prescriptions for Natural Healing by Phyllis A. Balch and her husband Dr. James F. Balch, M.D., colloidal silver is indeed effective for treating shingles. Here’s from page 622 of the 3rd edition of their book, listing shingles as a condition that can be treated effectively with colloidal silver:

Shingles (Herpes Zoster) – “A natural antibiotic that has shown effectiveness in treating shingles. Can be taken internally and used topically.” (p. 622)

And according to a very old issue of the British Medical Journal (December 15, 1917), researcher J. Mark Hovell wrote:

“Colloidal silver has also been used successfully in septic conditions of the mouth (including pyorrhea alveolysis – Rigg’s disease), throat (including tonsillitis and quincies), ear (including Menier’s symptoms and closure to Valsalva’s inflation), and in generalized septicemia, leucorrhea, cystitis, whooping cough and shingles.”

But why is colloidal silver so effective against shingles?

It’s because colloidal silver has been proven time after time to work against viruses like herpes zoster plus many pathogenic fungi, parasites, and bacteria (even drug-resistant bacteria).

Doctors and researchers know this is true. For example, over the years, Dr. Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., of the famous Tahoma Clinic in Tahoma, WA, has been a vociferous advocate of the safe, sane and responsible usage of colloidal silver.

As Dr. Wright wrote in an article titled Singing Silver’s Praises:

“I’ve worked with colloidal silver since its ‘revival’ in the 1980s and have found it to be very effective at fighting infections of all types – bacterial, viral, and fungal. In fact, its effects are so strong that I believe silver could be the key to fighting the antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs’ that have become such a problem in recent years.”

Dr. Wright stated, in another article:

“Colloidal silver isn’t just an alternative for antibiotics – it actually offers even more protection. Antibiotics only work against bacteria. But colloidal silver has been found to be “germicidal” against a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, and fungi.”

Let’s take a look at what the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine has to say in their Physician & Practitioner Administered Procedures and Therapies guide:

“Often called the ‘penicillin of alternative medicine,’ colloidal silver disables the enzymes that bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi rely on to use oxygen. Unable to ‘breathe,’ the organisms die and are eliminated from the body.

While an antibiotic drug may kill several types of disease organisms, colloidal silver delivers the kiss of death to at least 650 disease organisms. In addition, colloidal silver can be taken over long periods of time because microorganisms cannot develop a resistance to it.

…Among the conditions colloidal silver has controlled are severe burns, acne, boils, candida and yeast infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive problems and colitis, ear and sinus infections, herpes, shingles, lupus, malaria, viral and fungal infections, blood parasites, rheumatoid arthritis, and ringworm.

Colloidal silver also has been effective in treating cancer and AIDS if used at a certain point in the disease cycle when infected cells have reverted to a more primitive way of using oxygen, however, these uses of colloidal silver are not clinically proven.”

As you can see, the experts agree: Unlike prescription antibiotic drugs, colloidal silver is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic.

Small Silver Particles Work Best

Radio talk show host Robert Scott Bell says “actively charged silver nanoparticles or cations (positively charged silver ions) are effective against shingles outbreaks, “if the silver particles are small enough.”

The smaller the silver particles, the more easily they can penetrate the virus itself, he explains, and bind to the genetic material combined within it, rendering the shingles virus unable to replicate. “This,” he says, “can stop an infection in its tracks.”

For a shingles outbreak, Bell first recommends topical application of a high-quality silver gel such as Sovereign Silver First Aid Gel.

And he recommends oral consumption of a good, high-quality silver hydrosol such as Sovereign Silver brand colloidal silver.

“Just one teaspoon held sublingually for about a minute before swallowing, taken every waking hour while in the throes of an outbreak can be of great assistance. Spread doses out as symptoms improve.”

Bell says he has seen the topical application of the silver gel and concomitant oral ingestion of the colloidal silver dramatically shorten the duration and severity of shingles outbreaks.

He goes on to say:

“If you feel like you may be susceptible or on the verge of a shingles attack, you can prophylactically begin frequent dosing with silver. Longer-term prevention for those vulnerable would include using one teaspoon three to five times daily to assist with immune system rebuilding.”

But Does Colloidal Silver Really Work?

I’ve had quite a few experienced colloidal silver users over the years write to tell me that colloidal silver helped immensely with shingles outbreaks.

And I’ve posted several testimonials directly below, which I’ve taken with permission from the Testimonials page at ColloidalSilverSuccessStories.com.

As noted earlier, shingles is caused by a virus that likes to “hibernate” in the nerve cells of your body.

In other words, this virus generally lies dormant when residing in the nerve cells. That’s why it’s so painful when they finally become active. Their renewed activity apparently causes severe irritation and inflammation to the nerves.

Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to get colloidal silver deep into the nerve cells where the viruses dwell in their dormant state, as the nerves are protected by the myelin sheath which acts as “insulation” to the nerves.

Nevertheless, based upon numerous communications I’ve had with shingles victims who have used colloidal silver successfully for this debilitating condition, once the viruses have become active the silver appears to be effective in killing many, and driving the rest back into their dormant state.

Many researchers say colloidal silver also helps stimulate immunity, which is important, because lowered immunity is often one reason why the shingles virus can become active from its normally dormant state.

In many cases, when colloidal silver is used daily, in small amounts (i.e., one teaspoonful to one tablespoonful per day) between shingles outbreaks, the length of time between those outbreaks is often dramatically increased, with many people saying they can go for years without another shingles outbreak.

What’s more, when an outbreak finally does occur, the duration is often dramatically lessened in those taking colloidal silver prophylactically. People who had usually endured shingles outbreaks lasting for weeks at a time find that new outbreaks last only for a few days to a week at most, when colloidal silver has been used faithfully in the interim.

Finally, experienced colloidal silver users tell me that during the course of a shingles outbreak, taking somewhat higher daily dosages can help reduce the symptoms dramatically, and reduce the length and severity of the outbreak.

Most of the colloidal silver users I’ve spoken with on this subject tell me they’ve ingested anywhere from two ounces to four ounces of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver daily during the course of the outbreaks (i.e., for no more than 10 days), while also spraying 10 ppm micro-particle colloidal silver topically onto the shingles outbreaks three to five times a day, or as needed to help stop the itching and surface pain, and heal the skin lesions.

Personal Experiences: Healing Shingles Outbreaks with Colloidal Silver

Here are some real-life accounts from the Testimonials page at ColloidalSilverSuccessStories.com:

Shingles Pain Gone 15 Minutes After Application of Colloidal Silver

“I’ve had the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator for some years now and have found many uses for the silver water, ranging from flyblown sheep, to toe fungus, to of course the usual cold, flu treatments.

But the most dramatic use I have found was for a case of shingles I had two and a half years ago.

It started with nerve pain in my back. When the little red spots appeared, I went to the doctor, got it diagnosed, and came away with prescriptions for $250 worth of salve, pain pills, antibiotic pills, and a warning from the doctor that in all likelihood I would have to come back for more.

Two days later the pain had increased to the point that it was unbearable.

Knowing that something other than the doctor’s prescriptions was needed, I had my wife pour colloidal silver in her hand and literally wash my back with it. Fifteen minutes later the pain was gone. Not just diminished, but GONE!

And it never came back. Also, the outbreak, the little red spots, never got any worse than if they were pimples, did not scab, and soon disappeared.”

— A. D. Robinson, UT

Shingles Outbreak Gone in Just Days Rather than Weeks with Colloidal Silver!

“…gave some colloidal silver to a friend who was suffering with a bad case of shingles.

I gave her colloidal silver in combination with olive leaf extract and her shingles and pain disappeared in days. She told me that her Shingles usually last 6-8 wks.

The outbreak that was inside her mouth healed within 12 hrs. She swished the colloidal silver around in her mouth for 1 min. before swallowing it.

She drank 1-2 oz. about 5-7 times per day for 3 days along with about 1 TBL. of olive leaf extract.”

— T.R.B., Montgomery, TX

Shingles Sores Gone for Two Years!

“I was experiencing cold sores (the herpes kind, little clusters of blisters) in multiple places on my face, while having light sensitivity and head pain!

A nurse said that it sounded like shingles. So I contacted a friend, who had done a cleanse for viral infections, and it involved the use of 1 ounce of 10 ppm colloidal silver every 4 hours, for a month.

He knew that to purchase a month’s worth of colloidal silver in a store would be far more than the cost of a generator, so he researched and recommended the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

This cleanse was for 1 month (that included night doses) and symptoms of the sores have been gone for 2 years as a result.”

— Johanna Brosie, AZ

Never Even Had to Take the Doctor’s Medications

“My husband and I have been using the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver generator for five years. The same generator. We love it.

When I had shingles, I put it on the spots and drank about 2 oz every four hours. I never, never took the medicine they prescribed for me.

I believe catching it as fast as I did (I had a doctor’s appointment and one spot was on my forehead), probably helped matters.

I think the secret for us, since we have never had the flu nor the shot, is taking it like you would your medicine. Keeping it in your system every four hours during the outbreak has been what worked for us.”

— Linda F.

Here are some additional testimonials on colloidal silver and shingles from the WebMD.com web site. The first one below is from an elderly individual who had shingles around her right eye:

Beat Two Years Worth of Shingles Neuralgia!

“I have suffered from Shingles Neuralgia around my right eye for over 2 years. The optic nerve was not affected. I had continual irritation of the eyelid and the whole eye orbit, with a small weeping itching area on the lower lid.

I applied the colloidal silver solution over the lid and right side of the face. The weeping area disappeared and has not returned for 2 months. Previously, it interrupted my sleep at night, and would drain into the right eye. No more eyelid drainage.

The general burning, pain and swelling around the orbit has greatly decreased and my sleep had improved. I am also full of energy and regaining my exercise program, along with daily yoga stretches.

I’m 77, and was thinking that life was not worth living. Now I am planning a whole new life and moving from AK to Hawaii.”

Here’s another testimonial, this one from a lady who was able to get rid of a painful shingles outbreak in just a few days using colloidal silver:

Shingles Outbreak on Friday, Gone by Monday!

“I realized I had the start of shingles one Friday night. The stinging and irritation was getting worse and worse.

I was trying to think what I could do to relieve the pain when I remembered I had a bottle of colloidal silver in the back of the cabinet. My mom had given it to me a few years earlier.

I started applying it and immediately I felt relief. I would have relief for about 1/2 an hour and then would apply it again. I wondered if cool water would give the same relief – it did not. The silver was actually doing something to relieve the pain.

I started taking it orally then, and continued to apply it to relieve the pain. I planned to go to the doctor on Monday morning, but by Monday the shingles were almost completely gone!

That sold me. I now make my own colloidal silver and have used it to cure ear infections, sinus infections, pink eye, and sore throats. I use it on cuts and burns, insect bites, etc.

Sometimes I add some to the rinse cycle of my laundry. It takes away the musty smell that sometimes is in the dishcloths and towels during the hot summer months. I LOVE colloidal silver!”

Here’s a testimonial I found on the IndiaDivine.org website:

6 Different Recoveries in Under a Week Each!

“I have personally given colloidal silver to SIX different people in my small town that had shingles – both externally and internally – and every single one of them have completely recovered after only spraying it on externally and/or taking doses of it internally at one ounce three times a day for a week or less!!!

Those with exposed nerve endings and multiple lesions had instant pain relief when they sprayed the colloidal silver on or dabbed it on with a q-tip.

One man tried to go back to the prescription his doctor had given him, an antibiotic ointment, and he got much worse and had to quickly stop the ointment and start spraying the colloidal silver on again – and within 48 hours, his healing resumed, and his pain was GONE. Not so with ANYTHING antibiotic!!

Shingles are a viral infection, and colloidal silver is a proven antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-everything solution.”

Here’s another very interesting testimonial, this one from the CureZone.com site:

Amazing Relief from the Itching!

“I seem to have Shingles…It’s only a mild case, thankfully…I’ve had the rash down my left side for 36 hours now.

At first for the whole day I thought it was an allergic reaction, but when it started blistering last night I put 2 + 2 together. I shall come back & do a proper update when I’m better…

I’ve been taking regular doses of vitamin C – 3 to 10 grams daily. And secondly, Colloidal Silver applied topically has given AMAZING relief from the itching!

The itching went soon after application of the colloidal silver & didn’t come back. In addition the rash started to improve and the swelling went down somewhat.”

Not “Proof”, But Still Intriguing…

Keep in mind, of course, the standard FDA-required disclaimer that anecdotal reports like these are not “proof” of effectiveness – obviously, because they cannot be construed as double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies.

But they do indicate, to my mind, that more research needs to be conducted on this topic so a standardized dosage and treatment can be developed.

Of course, once that’s done, the FDA will probably declare colloidal silver to be a “drug” and make you get a prescription for it…

…which is another good reason to own the means of colloidal silver production, i.e., a high-quality home colloidal silver generator such as the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, which allows you to make all of the safe, natural colloidal silver you could ever need, for the rest of your life, for less than 36 cents a quart!

That way, should the medical bureaucrats ever try to declare colloidal silver to be a “drug,” you’ll be able to make all you want without worry.

Additional Helpful Ideas

Finally, many people I’ve spoken to have also found that taking one capsule of the immune-boosting supplement, Beta-1,3, 1,6-glucan, several times a day during a shingles outbreak, dramatically lessened the pain and shortened the outbreaks compared to previous outbreaks.

This specific immune-boosting supplement is available at www.NSC24.com. Keep in mind that it’s when immunity has been compromised that these viruses are so often at their worst. So anything you can do to boost immunity is crucial.

Also this: Some shingles outbreaks are much more severe than others. A family member who had a very severe case of shingles last year found that the only thing that worked for the horrific underlying pain was a colloidal silver cream product called Silver Pure (available at www.SilverPure.com) which contains a whopping 30,000 ppm silver nanoparticles.

While colloidal silver liquid, applied topically, was helpful in stopping the horrific itching, in this particular case it barely put a dent in the underlying nerve pain that seemed to emanate from just below the surface of the skin.

But the Silver Pure cream did the trick. It stopped the terrible nerve pain in just moments after each application, and only had to be applied about three times daily during the course of the shingles outbreak.

Have You Used Colloidal Silver to Heal a Shingles Outbreak?

As you can see, the folks above have used colloidal silver in a variety of ways (topically, orally, etc.), and sometimes in combination with other substances, such as Olive Leaf extract (which is said to be highly antiviral) or Vitamin C (immune-boosting, antiviral) or immune-boosting supplements like Beta-1,3-1,6-glucan.
