Welcome to Sacred Remedy! If you've arrived here, you've received your VitaPure Colloidal Silver Water and are exploring the deep, fascinating history of this ancient element.
For centuries, silver has held a prized place in wellness practices across cultures - valued for its unique protective qualities. We are delighted to share this history with you.
Colloidal silver has been around for centuries and used as a medicine for any type of infection. But in the 1930's, it was banned since silver couldn't be patented.
At Sacred Remedy, we are committed to providing educational resources to support your holistic well-being. Please read this guidance carefully, as it governs the use of this website and our products:

The practice of using silver in wellness is documented across millennia:
Ancient Purity: The Persians historically used silver containers to preserve water, while early Western settlers placed silver coins in milk jugs and water casks to retard spoilage.
A Prized Element: The phrase, "born with a silver spoon," originated from the belief that infants fed with silver utensils in the 18th century enjoyed greater health.
Our VitaPure Colloidal Silver Water honours this legacy by providing a premium solution of microscopic silver particles suspended in purified water, intended for cleansing and topical use.
It was said that Colloidal Silver is able to fight over 650 disease causing bacteria & viruses, without any known side effects or drug interactions.
Regardless of your chosen path to wellness, proper hydration is essential. We recommend drinking at least eight 8oz glasses of purified water per day to support the body’s natural elimination pathways, helping to flush out metabolic waste and toxins for clear skin and vitality.
Historically, individuals and complementary practitioners have reported using silver preparations (often different from our modern cosmetic solution) for a vast range of conditions.
The following is a list compiled from historical and anecdotal accounts of reported usage. This information is shared strictly for educational context and does not constitute a claim by Sacred Remedy regarding the effectiveness, safety, or recommended use of our product for these conditions.
In the traditional use of potent natural remedies, a temporary increase in symptoms, sometimes called a "healing crisis" (Herxheimer Effect), has been reported. This is believed to occur as the body rapidly detoxifies and works to eliminate pathogens. If this happens, historical accounts strongly emphasize increasing your pure water intake (up to ten 8oz glasses per day) to aid the body’s natural flushing process.

Here is a list of some conditions that people have historically benefited from by the use of Colloidal Silver for context, please note we do not encourage nor endorse any of these uses:
Acne: Historical texts report internal use, suggesting: Cleanse skin, apply silver spray topically. In conjunction, ingest 1 teaspoon of colloidal silver in water orally twice daily. After clearing, a maintenance dose of 1 teaspoon (30-40ppm) daily was often suggested.
Arthritis: Traditional dosage guides suggested the ingestion of 1 teaspoon (40ppm) of colloidal silver 3 times per day until symptoms cleared, followed by a maintenance dosage of 1 teaspoon (30ppm) daily.
Athlete's Foot: It was traditionally documented that users cleaned and dried the foot, applied silver spray topically, and ingested 1 teaspoon (30-40ppm) in water orally once daily until clearing.
Children & Infants: Many historical sources noted applying colloidal silver directly into the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, or adding it to water/bottles, often at or the adult dose. Silver spray was also applied topically for diaper rash.
Cleansing: The historical "Ten Day Cleanse" involved ingesting 1 teaspoon (30-40ppm) 3 times a day in water, along with increased water consumption (ten glasses) to flush toxins.
Colds & Sinus Infections: Historical practice involved placing 1 dropper of 50ppm colloidal silver directly up each nostril 2-3 times per day, alongside ingesting 1 teaspoon (50ppm) orally 2-3 times per day.
Critical Conditions: (Strep, Staph, Lyme, Hepatitis, etc.)Traditional usage for serious or chronic concerns suggested ingesting 3 to 5 teaspoons (50ppm) per day orally for two months, gradually reducing the dose over subsequent months, always with high water intake.
Chronic Fatigue: Historical usage involved ingesting teaspoon (50ppm) in water 3 times a day until symptoms cleared, followed by a daily teaspoon maintenance dose.
Ear Problems:Traditional instructions were to place drops of 40ppm or 50ppm colloidal silver directly into the ear 3 times per day.
Eye Infections: (Pink Eye, Conjunctivitis)Drops of 40ppm or 50ppm were historically applied directly into the eye 4 times a day, accompanied by teaspoon (50ppm) ingested orally 3 times per day until the infection cleared.
Gingivitis: It was traditionally noted that users applied 1 teaspoon (50ppm) undiluted directly to the gums 3 times a day, followed by a maintenance dose of teaspoon applied to the gums once daily.
Hay Fever/Allergies: Historical texts suggest ingesting 1 teaspoon (40ppm) colloidal silver orally per day to reduce symptoms.
Herpes: Historically, during an outbreak, users ingested teaspoon (500ppm) orally 3 times per day and applied the preparation directly to the sores, followed by a teaspoon (40ppm) daily maintenance dose.
Immune System Builder: To maintain general good health, historical guides suggested ingesting 1 teaspoon (40ppm or 50ppm) once per day in water or directly into the mouth.
Influenza (Flu): Traditional practice involved ingesting 1 teaspoon (50ppm) orally 3 times per day until symptoms cleared, then reducing to teaspoon (40ppm) daily, alongside significant water intake.
Prostate: Historical use involved ingesting teaspoon (50ppm) in water twice a day until the prostate reduced in size and infection cleared, followed by a teaspoon daily maintenance dose.
Skin Problems: (Rashes, Burns, Psoriasis, Eczema)The historical approach involved applying silver spray 2-3 times a day externally, supplemented by ingesting teaspoon (50ppm) orally twice per day until symptoms cleared.
Ulcer: Traditional instructions were to ingest 1 teaspoon (50ppm) orally 3 times a day for 3 days after symptoms cleared, then continue with teaspoon once per day.
Urinary/Bladder Infections: Historical guidelines suggested ingesting 1 teaspoon (50ppm) orally 3 times per day for 3 days after symptoms cleared, followed by teaspoon (40ppm) daily, along with high water intake.
Vaginal Yeast Infections: Traditional douches were prepared using 1 tablespoon (50ppm) colloidal silver in of water 2 times a day until symptoms cleared.
Warts: Historical applications involved ingesting 1 teaspoon (50ppm) orally 2 times a day and applying the silver directly to the wart, then covering it until the wart was gone.
Staph & Salmonella: Traditional treatment involved ingesting 1 teaspoon (50ppm) 3 times per day until symptoms cleared, followed by a teaspoon (40ppm) daily maintenance dose, with mandatory high water intake.
In the traditional use of potent natural remedies, a temporary increase in symptoms, sometimes called a "healing crisis" (Herxheimer Effect), has been reported. This is believed to occur as the body rapidly detoxifies. Historical accounts strongly emphasize increasing your pure water intake (up to ten glasses per day) during a cleansing period to aid the body’s natural flushing process.

----------
The EPA reference dose for daily lifetime consumption is (14) teaspoons a day of 5 PPM colloidal silver. (No danger or side effects for an average individual taking the dose daily for 70 years!). The generally accepted maintenance dose of one tablespoon/day is far less then that. Many say that just 2 to 4 drops a day are effective (Homeopathic dose). There can of course be no standard as we all react differently and have different microbial levels and intake. As a new user, be aware of the Herkimer effect, which any good antibacterial can cause. You may start to feel better then get the symptoms of the flu as your elimination system is overloaded getting rid of dead pathogens.
The only known side effect (Argyria) would require a dose of more then 2 ounces a day for a whole year, although we found no cases where colloidal silver caused Argyria, but usually from compounds such as silver nitrate, the most common injectable form used by doctors! The estimated fatal dose for humans from Goodman and Gillman is 10 grams of silver OR 500 gallons of 5 PPM in one dose. You would surely drown before you could get more then a few gallons down! There are cases of accidental ingestion of silver compounds in excess of that amount (10 grams) that have survived.
By 1940 there were over 50 silver based medicines on the market in oral, injectable and topical forms. Many may still be available such as: Albargin, Argonin, Argyrol, Largin, Lumosol, Novargan, Proganol and Silvol. Few of these were colloids (the most effective form), many had limited shelf life and none were as effective as silver nitrate (bad side effects).
WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER?
Colloidal Silver is a solution in which microscopic, electrically charged particles of Silver are in suspension, due to their positive charges repelling each other. These are ions or monovalent silver, the smallest particle of silver possible. A true colloid is very stable and has a long shelf life (years), while poorly produced product has few free ions and many clumps or crystals of silver or silver compounds which have a very short shelf life (the silver settles out), large size of particles and thus very limited bio-availibility or effectiveness.
A COLLOID IS NEITHER A SOLUTION (silver is not dissolved in water) NOR A SUSPENSION (silver particles are not floating in the water)! MANUFACTURING OF COLLOIDAL SILVER Electrolysis of pure water with a silver electrode strips ions of silver from the positive electrode and places them in solution. Being positively charged, they are attracted to the cathode or ground electrode. It should be stainless steel to avoid contamination. Ideally most Ions remain in solution but some make it to the cathode, which must be cleaned after use, of the soft deposit of silver.
To produce a pure product at 3-5 PPM you must use very pure water (less then 1 PPM) and at least 99.9% pure silver. Current flow must be carefully controlled to prevent crystalline growth of silver into large molecules rather then free ions. Most equipment and suggested methods (salting) on the market today fail to produce Colloidal Silver!
In Australia it is still common for ranchers to suspend a piece of silverware in their water tanks to retard spoilage.
OTHER HISTORICALLY KNOWN USES AND APPLICATIONS
Human and other animal uses are well documented in many books, health newsletters and health food stores. Among the assorted home uses besides the above medical areas are: general disinfectant in cleaning solutions, diaper pail, etc. add to well or aerator water tank to kill bacteria and algae add to stored foods or leftovers to prevent spoilage add to bird baths and wading pools to prevent bacteria and algae spray plants or wet soil to prevent mold and fungus damage in the bathroom to spray on the sink and shower floor in the kitchen for cleaning counter tops and the refrigerator shelves and door seals topically on skin for your warts, cuts, bites and burns. Today, silver is used by the Soviets to sterilize recycled water aboard the space stations. NASA also selected a silver water treatment system for the space shuttle. Many of the world's airlines use silver water filters to protect passengers from diseases such as dysentery.
