Swedish Propaganda ‘Research’ Advocates EU Ban of Silver Products

A Sweedish research team has released a propaganda hit piece on silver titled Silver: A Toxic Threat to Our Health and Environment, and urges municipalities, governments, and the EU to take action by banning silver products, and consumers to actively avoid any product containing dangerous silver.

The study concludes by strongly advocating consumers ‘stay informed and avoid any product labeled to contain silver’, and encourages hospitals to train their staff to avoid purchasing medical products containing silver.

As the ‘research’ team made zero disclosures regarding the funding of the study, we have sent an official inquiry to the authors requesting clarification as to if the study was funded by Pfizer, Merck, AstraZeneca, or JP Morgan.

The ‘research’ claims silver is toxic to all living cells, silver contributes to antibiotic resistance (in fact the opposite is true- synthetic antibiotics contribute to bacterial adaptation and resistance), silver causes permanent skin damage, silver chokes fish to death, silver disturbs bacterial activity when cleaning sewage (actually that’s true- silver destroys the bacteria in sewage and sanitizes the water), silver prevents the use of sludge as a fertilizer (this is only a bad thing for companies in need of cheap public disposal of their toxic waste), and finally claims that mining of silver is intimately associated with environmental contamination of toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead and therefore silver mining is toxic to the environment.

Full report from Uppsala University in Sweden below:

Silver: A toxic threat to our health and environment

•Silver is toxic to all living cells
•Silver contributes to antibiotic resistance
•Silver is deposited around nerves and in deeper skin layers and may
cause permanent skin damage
•Silver is intimately associated with environmental contamination of
other toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead
•Silver sticks to fish gills, potentially choking them to death
•Silver disturbs bacterial activity when cleaning sewage
•Silver prevents the use of sludge as fertilizer, needed for nutrient
recycling

New uses for silver
Our emerging problems with antibiotic resistance and fear of multi-resistant bacteria
have opened the door for toxic heavy metals. Silver has quickly spread from soaps
to full room concepts in hospital wards in recent years. It can now be found in:
• Wound dressings, Band-Aids
• Catheters, endotracheal tubes
• Grafts, implanted heart valves, bone cement
• Sutures
• Soaps, disinfectants
• Sanitary ware, toilet seats, door handles, furniture, paints
• Textiles, carpets, clothes, shoes
• Refrigerators, washing machines, telephones, keyboards, pocket calculators
• Children’s toys, pacifiers
The most toxic forms of silver are added to these products. This development
coincides with a pronounced decrease (25-40%) in silver use by the photo industry
due to digital cameras.

Mediating antibiotic-resistant
bacteria
With a wide and uncontrolled use of silver products, it is likely that not
only silver-resistant
but also antibiotic- and biocide-resistant bacteria will emerge. These
bacteria would certainly pose a threat to the public health. Furthermore,
if we kill the good bacteria, the ecosystem will collapse.

Mining and largest consumers
Only one third of silver produced originates from dedicated silver
mines and two thirds is received as a by-product from production
of copper, gold, lead, and zinc. Most silver production results in
large emissions of mercury to air, soil, and water. Where silver is
extracted by small-scale miners, large quantities of mercury are
used, resulting in large health and environmental damages.
Hospitals are large consumers of specific products with silver
added. In five years the silver-based wound dressing market has
gone from zero to 200 million Euros in Europe, and the estimated
yearly growth of the ‘anti-bacterial market’ is 40% with specified
areas such as wound care and foreign bodies leading the trend.
Most silver is still used for electronics, jewellery, silverware,
mirrors, but the risks from this usage are much smaller than the
newly emerging usages due to already established recycling.

How to act?
Buy products free of silver. The silver added has generally no
positive effects, and can be more detrimental for your health
than the same product without silver. Consumers should be
informed and demand clear and easily visible labelling when
silver has been added.
To educate the general public and health care staff about the
potential negative health and environmental effects is central.
To confront purchasing staff with the selling strategy of
commercial companies should be included in the training.
Municipalities, governments and
EU need to take appropriate actions.

Colloidal silver
Do not ingest colloidal silver sold as food supplement in health
food stores, unless you want your skin to have an incurable
greyish taint like the lady to the left in the picture above.

Comments

  1. Other more reputable studies have determined that having a shortage of physical silver could be fatal (especially if your name is JP MorganChase).

  2. Muppets… Don’t post your article in the computer then, and when you are it throw your phone, tv, lights cars and so on… Stop dictating people of what is good and what is bad for the people. Shouldn’t you lead by example??? Swedish scientists hypocrites. I rather die by the silver then the poisonous fiat currencies.

  3. What a crock of propaganda. I was laughing because of the way they reverse every truism regarding the shiny. I thought this was from the Onion at first.
    I love the smell of abject panic in the morning.
    It smells like……..victory.

  4. Silver- IT WILL GIVE YOU WARTS! Boogah boogah!

    pathetic

  5. When I had my knee surgery Doc suggested that I brew up some colloidal silver. The basic machine I have can produce a quart in about 3  hours. I used the batch for consumption at about 12 ppm and as a bacteriostat on the area due for surgery both before and after the procedure.  My hip replacement will require the same process and since the surgery is in a larger hospital I plan to keep some available during the hospital stay.  As for Sweden.  I suggest 2 liters of lutefisk up the poop chute and a 20 kilometer hike. That’ll do ya, Sven.

  6. It’s evident the Morgue and friends appear to be in a major PANIC right about now!

    Paying off Sweeds to spew out bull$h1t propaganda! What a low level and pathetic attempt to attack Ag!!!!!!!!

  7. YOU CANT FIX STUPID

  8. As if the 25% VAT on Silver (coins included!) is not deterrent enough?

    I’ve heard that ingesting ink is not very healthy. Especially not BPA ink.

    How about this: Stop suppressing the price of silver, then it will be used more sparingly, be recycled and not end up in the environment (assuming it’s so dangerous – which I don’t trust in the first place).

  9. This is indeed pure propaganda.  The EU has been wanting to ban colloidal silver for a long time.  Think of this, in a future where viral and other biological weapons of mass destruction are at risk of being used, silver (in ionic or colloidal form) may be the only defense that the common person has against the attackers.  It would be worth every family to stock equipment to make ionic/colloidal silver for their own use (as it is now banned in Europe).  Most people who hold silver already have the necessary raw material (although most devices use rods of pure 0.9999 silver).

    Read the book ‘The Body Electric’ by Robert Beck, MD to discover the wondrous effects of silver on healing and tissue and bone re-generation within the human body.

    Physical silver offers the two most important kinds of protection that
    anyone in the present environment would want: financial protection and
    protection of health.

  10. Using silver ”certainly pose a threat to the public health”.
    Exploding meltdown nuclear plants do not.

    It’s 2012 bitchezz

  11. They must think the public is pretty stupid to roll this POS out

  12. Was the report typed up on a “silver enhanced” computer ?

    Surprised their fingers didn’t fall off……

  13. If any of this was true, l would have been a dead dog by now!

  14. The biggest threat from silver is that it is antibankterial.

  15. Bravo Silver Alert!!!!!! MWAHAHAAHAHAH

    That is the best commentary I have heard yet!

  16. Sweden saying silver is toxic?

    Meanwhile, Swedes are afraid to confront Muslims who beat up Jews in public transit buses (what happened to the mighty Viking warriors???). Islam is toxic.

    Sweden is generally OK with euthanasia. If silver is so toxic, they can give their seniors colloidal silver along with their poison pills (and then go nuts trying to figure out why the seniors are surviving the pills and becoming healthier lol). Senior-killings is toxic (literally).

    And need I mention…. Abba and Ikea? Really? Being stuck in an Ikea maze, unable to make a quick exit, contributing to higher stress hormone levels (while seeing weird Neilsborg and Veilsborg and Grielsborg nametags on furniture) is dangerous stuff. Abba and Ikea are toxic.

    But I’ll give this to the Swedes: great meatballs, Volvos and Saabs. But the rest is toxic.

    Huuurdy gurdy gurdy gurdy.

  17. oops, I just coined myself by accident.

    How do I reverse this?

  18. P1616  I coined you too    Good comments 

     Silver alert  That is the BEST turn of phrase I have heard to date     .9999 silver coin to you too.

  19. so the old saying “born with a silver spoon in his mouth” is now toxic thing to say …… I’m confused, very confused

  20. Translation:  I wish we hadn’t sold all of our silver

     

  21. I have been thinking of writing this dissertation for a long
    time. This article was enough to make me mad enough to create a login to Silver
    Doctors after reading this blog nearly every day for the past year or so.

    Really, this article is enough to make me puke. This study
    is the most obvious dis-info campaign I have seen since they rolled out the “blue
    guy” video on CNN and Fox. No matter that “the blue guy” said himself that he
    did not think “ingesting” colloidal silver caused him to turn blue and that he
    liked it and would continue to take it. This is actually funny. I advise your
    readers to google and watch the Blue Guy Video’s just google colloidal silver
    and the blue guy pops up on the front page. It’s not easy to get on the front
    page of google, nuff said.

    I’ll flatly state my case that the healing, anti-microbial/anti-germ
    properties in Silver (AG-47) will be the sole reason your silver will be worth
    more than your gold one day, and one day soon. 
    I suggest the readers do their diligence on the matter.

    I give away free samples of 99.99% pure silver wire on my
    website practically every day, I have hundreds if not thousands of satisfied
    customers, I have an 100% positive eBay feedback rating of almost 1000, all
    while being accused of selling “snake oil” by some people and having my friends
    and family think I’m a cukoo.  Well, they
    also think I’m cukoo for stacking silver so there you go. I have discovered
    that if my friends and family think it’s a bad idea, I should probably take
    that as I sign that I should do it.

    When just 1% of the population understands and accepts that healing
    properties of Silver (AG-47) is quite possibly, the most important metal ever discovered
    (I have to watch what I say since I am not a Dr), SILVER WILL BE MORE VALUABLE
    THAN GOLD. Will it be worth more than gold? You’ll have to ask yourself that
    question one day if a loved one is dying and you can possibly cure that loved
    one with an oz of Silver. I wouldn’t trade an oz of silver for an oz of gold,
    no way, keep your gold.

    Let me ask any of the readers are able to sell silver for a
    100% margin and sell it quickly? Actually selling 99.99% pure silver by the
    foot has about a 200% margin for me and I see upwards of people getting a 4 or
    500% margin at $40 or $50 a foot. My margin is still 100% by the time I factor
    in what I give freely to those who can’t afford it. The bottom line is
    Colloidal Silver is sold as a supplement for upwards of $1000 a gallon, you can
    get it at any pharmacy or GNC nutrition store for 2 fl oz’s for $15 = $960 a
    gallon. (not a misprint)! Here is my video on YouTube proving what I say is
    true.


    Remember, Jesus was sold for 20 or 30 pieces of “SILVER”!

    Being “born with a silver spoon” is a direct reference to
    the healing properties the elite enjoyed by being able to eat off of real
    silver back in the day. If gold is going to the moon, silver will be going to the
    stars!

  22. Even places like Wikipedia are no longer able to hide the anti-microbial qualities of silver. Note the vague reference at the end of the chapter.

    Silver (play /ˈsɪlvər/ sil-vər) is a metallic chemical element with the chemical symbol Ag (Latin:argentum, from the Indo-European root *arg- for “grey” or “shining”) and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. The metal occurs naturally in its pure, free form (native silver), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite andchlorargyrite. Most silver is produced as a byproduct of coppergoldlead, and zinc refining.

    Silver has long been valued as a precious metal, and it is used as an investment, to make ornaments, jewelry, high-value tableware, utensils (hence the term silverware), and currencycoins. Today, silver metal is also used in electrical contacts and conductors, in mirrors and incatalysis of chemical reactions. Its compounds are used in photographic film, and dilute silver nitrate solutions and other silver compounds are used as disinfectants and microbiocides. While many medical antimicrobial uses of silver have been supplanted by antibiotics, further research into clinical potential continues.

  23. Sorry, I’m new at this.

  24. I am puzzled by the sewage treatment issues with silver. What say 1 part per billion of silver in the grey water and sewage is going to kill off the bacteria that the chlorine and antibiotics have not already killed? Haven’t poo eating bacteria been exposed to silver in small amounts for about the last 2 billion years?
