Study: Silver Is Toxic to Human Sperm
Is colloidal silver toxic to human sperm or
harmful to human reproduction?
Let's just say that like anything else the
radical anti-silver environmentalists come up with, these charges are highly
exaggerated. Here’s the straight scoop…
I continue to have articles
forwarded to me about the study from
September 2010 being touted by anti-silver environmental groups as proof that silver
nanoparticles are "toxic" to human sperm, or even harmful to human
reproduction.
These anti-silver environmental
groups warn that using commercial products containing colloidal silver or silver
nanoparticles should now be considered a dangerous practice for men because the
silver could negatively affect their sperm count if enough is absorbed into
their bodies.
This in turn could curtail human
reproduction, the anti-silver environmentalists claim, causing a catastrophic
worldwide decline in births.
Oh, my!
In the study being touted, human
sperm were basically soaked in increasingly higher concentrations of silver
nanoparticles. And it was later found
that the sperm stopped growing once the concentration of silver nanoparticles
reached a whopping 10 micrograms per milliliter (μg/ml).
Bullfeathers…
Of course, any claim that this
study proves silver-based products are harmful to human sperm and human
reproduction is complete b.s.
You could produce the same effect
soaking sperm cells in high concentrations of just about any essential mineral, including iron, copper, selenium, chromium,
even calcium or others.
But that doesn’t make it even
remotely unsafe for men (or women) to ingest these natural substances in the
form of nutritional supplements.
Indeed, colloidal silver and
products containing silver nanoparticles have now been used widely by the
public -- worldwide -- for over 100 years.
And there’s been no decline in population growth!
Silver is even used in public and
private swimming pools, in place of caustic chemicals like chlorine, to keep
bacterial growth from exploding.
Yet the worldwide birth rate
continues to grow. Earth’s population
continues to expand. And not a single study
on the face of the earth has shown that silver curtails human reproduction.
No Harm, No Foul…
One of the most profound proofs
that there’s no harm to sperm in using small to moderate amounts of
antimicrobial silver is the fact that silver is now used as a
preservative in boar semen to prevent
bacterial spoilage during storage, before the semen is used to impregnate
female sows.
That pretty much proves beyond any
shadow of a doubt that silver isn't harmful to sperm at levels that prevent
bacterial contamination.
So soaking human sperm in excessively
high concentrations of silver nanoparticles and then trying to scare men into
thinking they won't be able to produce sperm if they use a silver-based product…
…is the worst form of exaggeration,
deception and chicanery – particularly when it’s done in the name of science.
But what do you expect from the
radical environmentalists at this point? After all, they even claim silver-impregnated
stockings are “killing the planet” and causing global warming!
The Bottom Line…
The bottom line is this: Anything you saturate in a highly
concentrated metal or mineral solution is going to be negatively affected at some concentration.
And guys, listen up:
The study showed that for sperm to
be affected, it would have to be exposed to 10 micrograms per milliliter
(μg/ml) of silver nanoparticles.
Your common sense alone should tell
you that you'd be hard pressed to get that much silver into your testicles.
You'd have to inject it with a syringe, or drink gallons of it at a time.
As for the contention by
anti-silver environmentalists that silver is harmful to human reproduction, here's
an article I did on this subject some time back:
Silver Not Harmful to Human Reproduction
http://thesilveredge.com/repro.shtml
And here's another interesting
article about several different couples who were having trouble getting
pregnant, yet they finally got pregnant after
they started using colloidal silver:
A Tale of Two
Pregnancies
http://thesilveredge.com/cspreg.shtml
As you'll see when you read these
two articles, the insinuation that normal doses of colloidal silver (or mere contact
with commercial silver-based products) can be "toxic" to human sperm
or harmful to human reproduction is pretty far-fetched -- just like the rest of
the environmentalist's wild charges against silver.
So relax. Take a deep breath. And use your colloidal silver in moderation,
without fear. If you’re concerned, check with your doctor first.
