Colloidal Silver's Effect on Strep Throat is No Surprise.
After all, in the past we had used colloidal silver effectively against earaches, styes, Pink Eye, infected cuts, burns, food poisoning, colds, flu, upper respiratory infections, and even spider bites. And we knew that the medical literature also demonstrated colloidal silver to be extremely effective against strep pathogens in laboratory tests – the same ones that cause strep throat.
For example, according to a May 13, 1999 report signed by Brigham Young University microbiologist David A. Revelli and BYU Professor of Microbiology/Molecular Biology Dr. Ron W. Leavitt, Ph.D….…a colloidal silver solution was able to kill five different strains of the Streptococcus pathogen, at surprisingly low concentrations.

Here's a brief synopsis of what the researchers discovered:
Streptococcus pyogenes – causes strep throat, skin infections, upper respiratory infections, impetigo, hospital-acquired infections, Scarlet Fever and more. Inhibited and killed @ 1.25 ppm.
Streptococcus pneumoniae – causes pneumonia, meningitis, sinusitis, otitis media (ear infection). Inhibited @ 2.5 ppm
and killed @ 5 ppm.
Streptococcus faecalis – causes urinary tract infections, endocarditis and wound infections.
Inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm. Streptococcus mutants – a major cause of dental plaque and tooth decay. Inhibited and killed @ 5 ppm.

Streptococcus gorgoniid – causes tooth decay, and implicated in infective endocarditis (infection of the heart valves).
Inhibited and killed @ 5 ppm.
As you can see, in laboratory testing, extremely low concentrations of colloidal silver ranging between 1.25 ppm and 5 ppm were able to kill the strep pathogens tested – even those that cause strep throat.
Colloidal Silver Works Against Drug-Resistant Strep Throat, Too!

What's more, in a clinical study titled "Bactericidal Effect of Silver Nanoparticles Against
Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria," published in the World Journal of Microbiology and
Biotechnology in 2010, it was found that silver was effective against even drug-resistant
strains of the strep throat pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as drug-resistant
strains of several other pathogens.

The study authors stated:
In our study, silver nanoparticles exerted a bactericidal effect against the six bacterial strains……there was no significant difference between the bactericidal effects of silver nanoparticles on drug-resistant and non-drug-resistant microorganisms.…the same nanosilver concentration inhibited 99.7% of erythromycin-resistant

Streptococcus pyogenes, 95.7% of ampicillin-resistant E. coli O157:H7 and 92.8% of
multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa." The researchers further concluded that silver nanoparticles exhibited bactericidal effect
rather than merely bacteriostatic effect. This is important news because it means the use of antimicrobial silver is so effective
against drug-resistant strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, it outright kills them rather than merely inhibiting their growth!

As Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., a graduate of Harvard, as well as the University of
Michigan Medical School, and who now runs the famous Tahoma Clinic in Washington
has stated: "Colloidal silver just might be the next germ-fighting wonder drug. And not just for the
serious threats making headlines: It's also effective against bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and
fungal infections like Candida. No matter how much a germ mutates, it can't change enough to escape the damaging
effects of colloidal silver. And in the process, the silver doesn't harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in
the intestine the way antibiotics and other medications do…"– Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., Tahoma Clinic, WA

Interestingly, colloidal silver's ability to decimate strep throat and other strep pathogens
has been known for over 100 years, as noted in the 1910 book, Use of Colloids in Health and Disease, by Alfred B Searle "Silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic…In the lab, all virus, fungus, bacterium, streptococcus,staphylococcus, and other pathogenic organisms are killed in three or four minutes
upon contact."
