“The recognition that
these silver ions act via mild oxidation and then alkylation
(binding) makes good sense in terms of its broad action and
lack of toxicity to mammals with their extensive antioxidant
defense systems. Silver hydrosol appears to be the purest
and most advanced silver technology thus far.” -
Stephen Levine, Ph.D
Description
Argentyn 23™ is an innovative
silver hydrosol formula, providing ultra-pure/ultra-small silver
ion particles, with no contaminants or impurities of any kind.
A unique picoscalar average particle size (0.8 nanometers,
equivalent to 0.0008 microns) and ultra-fine dispersion result
in enhanced silver ion (Ag+) bioavailability. Argentyn 23™ is
designed to provide precise levels of functional silver in
safe and non-toxic ranges. It contains only silver metal ions
and ultra-pure water, and the silver content is 99.99% pure.
Unlike the various colloidal silver products on the market
today, Argentyn 23™ silver hydrosol is completely free
of extraneous substances such as silver proteins, stabilizers,
nitrates, or other silver compounds.
A colloid is a suspension of fine
particles dispersed in a gas or liquid, whereas a hydrosol
is a particular kind of colloid – one with only pure
water as the medium. Argentyn 23™ silver hydrosol is
ultra pure silver suspended in ultra pure water, produced using
a proprietary electrolysis process yielding over 95% active
silver.
An "oligodynamic effect",
from the Greek oligos (few) and dynamis (power), refers to
potent and meaningful biological actions that can be exerted
by extremely low concentrations of metal ions. For over a hundred
years it has been known that oligodynamic silver ions can mediate
extracellular and intracellular immune challenges, due to the
oxidation potential of the ion.* The oligodynamic action of
silver, resulting from the liberated silver ions, occurs because
their charge facilitates electron displacement. The charge
effectively yanks electrons away from a molecule, in essence
weakening the molecular bond and rendering it susceptible to
cleavage. Oligodynamic silver has been shown to modulate immune
events, such as promoting superoxide release and supporting
healthy regulation of toxicants.* Through these supportive
mechanisms and others, silver hydrosol represents outstanding
immune support.*
The particle size of the silver
ions is of critical importance. The smaller the colloidal silver
particle, the more potential for biological activity it has.
Colloidal silver particles in commercial products of the last
century were thought to be 14 to 26 nanometers. Argentyn 23™ contains
silver particles with a uniform size approximating 0.8 nanometers,
making it a true picoscalar dispersion as determined by transmission
electron microscopy. Since the prevalent ion charge is uniformly
positive, and because like charges repel, Argentyn 23™ has
a uniquely uniform particle dispersion in its pure water medium.
Argentyn 23™ has completed the Ames Confirmatory Mutagenicity Assay
through Covance Laboratories, Inc. Results clearly revealed no toxicity.
(Ref: Assay No. 24742-0-409OECD; Trial No. C1.) Argentyn 23™ also recently
completed a murine Acute Oral Toxicity Study (LD50) with Covance Laboratories,
Inc., (ref: 24742-0-800). The result revealed absolutely no harmful effects
to mammalian tissue at a dosage of 20 mL/kg. While murine tissue is not identical
to human tissue, the test suggests that 1400 cc (47 fluid ounces) ingested
at one time by a 154 pound adult is medically harmless.
A small percentage of people who
use Argentyn 23™ may experience associated immune detoxification
events (Herxheimer’s reactions). From the most frequent
to the most rare, these may include: mild to moderate headaches,
arthalgia, hyperdiaphoresis, nausea, afebrile flu-like symptoms,
simple malaise, erythema, skeletal pain, itching, rigors or
chills, diarrhea typically of short duration, vomiting of short
duration, and fever. These associated immune detoxification
events can be managed by a 24-48 hour wash-out period from
the dosage schedule. With careful medical supervision, it is
permissible then to return to a dosage equaling half of the
initial dose level. Classically, such associated immune detoxification
events suggest that the targeted immune burdens are resolving
rapidly.*
- Possible proactive measures to deal with
Herxheimer's reactions include:
- Drink 1/2 to 1 ounce of purified water
for each pound of body weight, per day.
- Use of hepatic detoxifying nutraceutical
supports 1 to 3 times daily.
- Dietary measures that include low fat,
low sugar and low meat diets, plus strict avoidance of all
junk foods, fast foods and fried foods.
- Recommendations for high fiber diets while
on the program insuring a minimum of one, well-formed bowel
movement daily.
- Referral if necessary for a short set of
colonic irrigations.
- One or more coffee enemas as needed, which
typically offer immediate results.
- Sitz/saltz baths: Take 1 cup salt, 1 cup
baking soda, 1 cup epsom salts, 1 cup Aloe Vera, and add
into a hot bath, keeping the water hot for about 1-1/2 hours,
while consuming 2 quarts of fresh-squeezed lemonade.
