In February 2024, a man in Oregon in the US, caught the bubonic plague from his infected pet cat. One month later, health officials in Lincoln County, New Mexico, announced a man had died of the disease.
Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for plague, still persists in the environment among rodent and flea populations today and can kill 60% of untreated victims in three to five days.
I seriously doubt widespread death from the Plague could ever happen again, but I decided to do some digging on a natural treatment you can have and take at home should it somehow become a true threat or is weaponized.
My first thought was to use one of the main strategies we used all through COVID which we know to be safe, quite easy, and effective.
(You may want to keep this article in a hard copy binder should the need ever arise, and have the inexpensive things on hand).
There are several forms of bubonic plague:
Plague is caused by the gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis. Early symptoms to watch out for include swollen lymph nodes, sudden fever, head and body aches, weakness, vomiting and nausea, shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough, particularly with bloody mucus. The most important factor for survival is that medical attention begins promptly. Diagnosis is confirmed by culture and body fluid testing. Treatment is with streptomycin, gentamicin, doxycycline or a fluoroquinolone. (source)
(Please note that fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro, Levaquin or Avelox have black box warnings and repeated FDA Alerts as their side-effects can cripple or kill. Therefore it is prudent to know readily available natural means should hospitals be swamped or antibiotics unavailable.)
Is Colloidal Silver/Nanosilver Effective For Bubonic Plague?
Excerpts from The Silver Edge gives this insight:
“Unfortunately, there’s no modern-day clinical evidence that colloidal silver (in a nano-silver form) is effective against a bubonic plague infection in humans.
But we’ve all heard the story that during the 14th century bubonic plague outbreak in Europe, which killed an estimated 1.5 million people and was also known as the Black Death, the young children of wealthy families were instructed to suck on silver spoons each day to preserve their health.
In hindsight, modern commentators say the tiny amounts of silver ingested from sucking on the silver spoons boosted immunity and helped killed infectious microorganisms, thus preventing many cases of bubonic plague among those who could afford to eat from real silver utensils.
As the story goes, this is how the phrase, “Born with a silver spoon in his mouth” came about. Whether or not the story is apocryphal is still up for debate.
Modern-day evidence for colloidal silver’s effectiveness against the bubonic plague pathogen is weak. Nevertheless, it’s very interesting.
For example, a company called American Biotech manufacturers a colloidal silver-based topical disinfectant spray product called ASAP-AGX-32. This product is widely used in hospitals, labs, public schools, gymnasiums, etc. to decrease concentrations of germs on surfaces such as countertops.
American Biotech conducted extensive lab testing with an independent laboratory demonstrates their colloidal silver-based disinfectant spray kills the bubonic plague pathogen. In a press release, they wrote:
“Y. pestis is the bacterium that causes Bubonic Plague, which can kill 60% of untreated victims in three to five days. We wanted to test the limits of our product’s capability, and we are delighted with the results. A normal in vitro (test tube) bacterial test uses a load of 500,000 bacteria per milliliter. The level of plague causing bacteria in our sample was 160 times that normal amount. The ASAP-AGX-32 silver-based disinfectant killed the bacteria in less than two minutes.” (source)
American Biotech took out a patent on the process for using their colloidal silver disinfectant spray to kill the bubonic plague pathogen, Yersinia pestis, as well as a number of other potentially deadly pathogens. In part, here’s what the patent states: “By performing a standard kill-time assay using a Y. pestis suspension, it is demonstrated that silver compositions of the present invention are effective even against the bubonic plague bacteria.”
But…the laboratory study conducted on this colloidal silver product was strictly a test tube study. It was not in vivo testing, i.e., inside the human body testing.
So this doesn’t prove colloidal silver would work against a bubonic plague infection in the human body. It only demonstrates that it works against the pathogen in a test tube or on an open surface.
Nevertheless, it’s a significant indication that colloidal silver could indeed work against an infection caused by the bubonic plague pathogen.
One More Very Interesting Piece of Evidence
The only other evidence I’ve been able to find for colloidal silver’s potential effectiveness against bubonic plague is from former CIA microbiologist Larry Wayne Harris.
Harris tested colloidal silver against both the anthrax and bubonic plague pathogens while he was with the CIA, and again afterwards. He found silver to be highly effective.
Indeed, when asked on national television whether there were any natural substances that could protect the population against anthrax, bubonic plague and other serious pathogens, Harris, who is author of Bacteriological Warfare: a Major Threat to North America, What You and Your Family Can Do Before and After, responded:
“The only natural substance I know of that is effective against these microbes is colloidal silver. I tested that myself and found it effective against both anthrax and the bubonic plague pathogens.”
However, Harris also stated:
“In the event of outbreaks of biological plagues, those who have already been taking sufficient levels of colloidal silver will have an automatic resistance in their bodies… If, however, a person has not been taking colloidal silver for 30 to 50 days prior to exposure to a plague, silver will have little effect. This is because invading bacteria can kill within several days, while it takes weeks for colloidal silver to be spread through your entire body’s trillions of cells.”
That poses quite a dilemma.
While many people, including myself, have taken small amounts of colloidal silver daily for years, many others only use it periodically – for example, if they feel a nasty cold coming on, or a bout of food poisoning, or some other infection that they want to deal with quickly, safely and naturally.
So that leaves most of us in trouble as we don’t take colloidal silver daily. But read on..
Get Colloidal Silver Into the Body For Plague
The Silver Edge continues: “Fortunately, there is a way to get colloidal silver into the bloodstream and the body’s cells quickly, easily and effectively by nebulizing (even if you haven’t been using colloidal silver regularly).
In October, 2001, the Health Sciences Institute (HSI) reported on a medical symposium that had been held after the 9-11 terror attacks to address dealing with germ-warfare agents like anthrax, the bubonic plague and others. Well-known health symposium panelist, Dr. Marcial-Vega, had discovered while dealing with pneumonia patients the fact that colloidal silver can be quickly and easily carried into the human blood stream and from there into the body’s cells and tissues, simply by nebulizing it into the lungs.
Nebulizing using colloidal (nano) silver was widely used during COVID. The nebulizer distributes the fine mist of the colloidal silver straight into the blood stream, cells and tissues.
Since the recent Plague death was thought to be from the dreaded aerosol form, which causes infection when breathed into the lungs, this information would seem to be all the more important.
Dr. Marcial-Vega’s Recommendation:
Of all the available treatments, Dr. Marcial-Vega has seen the greatest success with nebulizer treatments using a colloidal silver preparation.
He recommends several daily nebulizer treatments with 4 cc’s (approximately 1 teaspoon) of colloidal silver.
Dr. explains: “We are constantly filtering all kinds of bacteria through our lungs. Normally, a healthy body is able to kill off any dangerous bacteria on its own. But in the case of illness, like pneumonia, or an especially lethal bacteria, the body will need some extra help.”
Dr. Marcial-Vega went on to say he has used the colloidal silver nebulizer treatments on infants, the elderly, and AIDS patients with pneumonia and has seen great results. All have responded quickly to the treatment even when no other approach seemed to help, and no one reported any adverse reactions.
Clinical Evidence On Colloidal Silver
• has been demonstrated to be effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. (Y. pestis is a gram-negative bacteria)
• has been demonstrated to be effective against the deadly MRSA pathogen, including these seven other deadly pathogens. But thanks to Big Pharma’s government-backed lock on prescription antibiotic drugs, you’ve probably never about any of the other dozens of clinical studies on colloidal silver that have amply demonstrated its undeniable infection-fighting benefits.
• is widely antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal. We used it after a severe well contamination – we were very sick.
• has been demonstrated to be effective against numerous fungal pathogens as well.
• effective against cold and flu viruses and COVID.
• according to a very old issue of the British Medical Journal (December 15, 1917), researcher J. Mark Hovell wrote: “Colloidal silver has also been used successfully in septic conditions of the mouth (including pyorrhea alveolysis – Rigg’s disease), throat (including tonsillitis), ear (including Menier’s symptoms and closure to Valsalva’s inflation), and in generalized septicemia, leucorrhea, cystitis, whooping cough and shingles.”
• has even been used to beat serious cases of food poisoning.
For those reasons alone it’s worth keeping colloidal silver on hand for emergencies when conventional medical care might not be available, or might be ineffective.

Since vigilant plague prevention from everyone still makes outbreaks less likely, here are 10 tips:
• Avoid contact with wild rodents and fleas
• Protect pets with leash controls and anti-flea measures
• Keep homes rodent-proof, restrict pet roaming
• Discourage cats hunting mice
• Seek prompt veterinary care for limping pets
• Eliminate campsite/picnic food sources
• Sleep away from animal burrows
• Don’t feed park squirrels or chipmunks
• Wear protective garb in nature
• Use insect repellents below pants cuffs
Testing The Effectiveness Of Insect Repellents
A 2015 study tested eight commercial mosquito repellents, two fragrances and a vitamin B patch by releasing mosquitoes into a sealed chamber with a treated hand. The study found that after four hours, the most effective were products containing DEET, as well as one “natural” DEET-free spray.
