When I come across new and fairly-interesting information, safe or not, I like to share it with others. Recently I came across an article in regards to colloidal silver. I had to do some research into it because I personally had no idea what it was even for. It’s true definition means the colloid of silver particles in water. It has an antimicrobial property and was, in the past, used on external wounds and burns to prevent infection. Some alternative-health practitioners claim that it is a beneficial nutritional supplement, others claim that it’s a powerful antibiotic which is relatively safe for human consumption. The intake of some silver products in larger quantities over long periods of time have caused argyria, which is a blue/gray skin condition which is otherwise benign. At proper dosage levels, however, the risk for argyria is almost nil.
So without all the mumbo-jumbo listed above. How can colloidal silver seriously work for you? Using it as an antibiotic can be an alternative to most medicines. I personally can not take most antibiotics because they contain levels of fish-oil that would more than likely worsen my immune system while the so-called-helper-pill is fixing infection. Having an alternative is great and all, but at what cost? If I take too much my skin will change color, if I don’t take enough it won’t do anything for me.
Based on the information I’ve found on this product, however, it’s commonly used in dietary supplements. Would you put silver in your body to aid weight loss if there was actually documented studies of it working for you? Has anyone ever heard of colloidal silver? What do you think it can do for you? I’d love to hear your response.
