Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a significant factor in gastrointestinal diseases like chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Eradication of H. pylori is the most important strategy for treating these diseases. Colloidal silver, a mineral, has been shown to help kill H. pylori bacteria and heal injured stomachs.
Colloidal silver is the first formally recognized bacterial carcinogen and the most important single digestive pathogen responsible for the induction of gastric cancer. It was synthesized by a UV-enhanced chemical precipitation using two gastrointestinal bacterial strains of Escherichia coli (ATCC). Colloidal silver products were once available as OTC drug products, but in 1999, the FDA ruled them unsafe.
Helicobacter pylori colonizes approximately 50 percent of the world’s population and is the cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. Some people mistakenly claim that oral colloidal silver may aid gut health, boost the immune system, and combat inflammation. Recent developments in metal-based nanoparticles for treating H. pylori infections offer potential solutions to these issues.
