This is one of the worst health frauds of modern times. It's worthless for your health, you will end up turning yourself or whoever your force to take it permanently blue, and there has been at least one very ugly death from massive brain damage due to the toxic effects. Fortunately at the dosages most people intake, it usually takes months to years to cause the worst effects.

Colloidal silver is known to be an effective "Antibiotic Adjunct, i.e. it can improve the efficacy of certain antibiotics. It actually decreases the effectiveness of others.

  • Quinolone antibiotics interact with COLLOIDAL SILVER: Colloidal silver might decrease how much antibiotic the body absorbs. Taking colloidal silver along with antibiotics might decrease the effectiveness of some antibiotics. Some antibiotics that might interact with colloidal silver include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), enoxacin (Penetrex), norfloxacin (Chibroxin, Noroxin), sparfloxacin (Zagam), trovafloxacin (Trovan), and grepafloxacin (Raxar).
  • Tetracycline antibiotics interact with COLLOIDAL SILVER: Colloidal silver might decrease how much tetracycline antibiotics the body can absorb. Taking colloidal silver with tetracycline antibiotics might decrease the effectiveness of tetracycline antibiotics. To avoid this interaction take colloidal silver two hours before or four hours after taking tetracyclines. Some tetracyclines include demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Minocin), and tetracycline (Achromycin).
  • Levothyroxine interacts with COLLOIDAL SILVER: Colloidal silver might decrease how much levothyroxine the body absorbs. Taking levothyroxine along with colloidal silver might decrease the effectiveness of thyroxine.
  • Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) interacts with COLLOIDAL SILVER: Penicillamine is used for Wilson's disease and rheumatoid Arthritis. Colloidal silver might decrease how much penicillamine your body absorbs and decrease the effectiveness of penicillamine.

Recent studies have shown that silver can kill up to 650 species of pathogenic microbes and it has shown some promise for combating antibiotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA, especially when used to treat surfaces that may be contaminated with such bacteria.. So - colloidal silver has some utility as an antibiotic. Unfortunately herpes is a virus and antibiotics are only effective against bacteria. Those hyping colloidal silver as anti-viral agent are either "snake oil salesmen" (con artists) or wishful thinkers. You are much better off sticking with with FDA-approved drugs like Valacyclovir and Famciclovir, both of which are known kill the herpes virus and control the disease in most cases.

Colloidal silver is not recognized as safe or effective by the FDA for anything other than wound dressings, antibiotic creams, and as an antibiotic coating on medical devices. Colloidal silver was used in the early 20th century for its antibacterial properties but mostly abandoned as better, more effective antibiotics were developed. The 1990's saw a resurgence of the use of colloidal silver as a supposed "cure-all" for all sorts of maladies, although none of the OTC formulations are effective in treating any known condition and carry the risk of both permanent cosmetic side effects and more serious ones such as allergic reactions, as well as interactions with prescription medications.

  • In August 1999, the U.S. FDA banned colloidal silver sellers from claiming any therapeutic or preventive value for the product.
  • In 2002, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) found there were no legitimate medical uses for colloidal silver and no evidence to support its marketing claims.
  • Consumer Reports lists colloidal silver as a "supplement to avoid", describing it as "likely unsafe".

Chronic intake of silver products can result in an accumulation of silver or silver sulfide particles in the skin. These particles in the skin darken with exposure to sunlight, resulting in a blue or gray discoloration of the skin known as argyria. Think of it this way - black and white Photography uses the Gelatin silver process with currently available black-and-white films and printing papers. A suspension of silver salts in gelatin is coated onto a support such as glass, flexible plastic or film, baryta paper, or resin-coated paper. When exposed to light it undergoes a chemical reaction and darkens. Taking colloidal silver turns your skin into a full-body film plate that darkens (permanently) on exposure to the sun.

Also - Increased silver levels in pregnant women have been linked to abnormal development of the ear, face, and neck in their babies. Colloidal silver supplements can also lead to silver accumulation in the body, which can lead to argyria. Silver can also be deposited in vital organs, where it does serious damage.

Pure colloidal silver is not toxic. Colloidal means very small subatomic particle down to the atom. But follow the recommended dose for your amount of ppm.


Why is colloidal silver used for burns?

Silver, colloidal or ionic silver, silver in solution, is a potent antibacterial product.Because of silver's antibacterial properties, colloidal silver has been found to prevent the infection resulting from burns.For minor burns, colloidal silver may be applied topically after the burn is cleaned with soap and cold water and gently dried. To avoid the risk of infection, topical application of colloidal silver should be made to blistered or open burn wounds.Hospitals use a silver treatment to dress scars and wounds especially wounds that resist healing. The colloidal silver will speed wound healing and reduce the amount of scarring.


Does colloidal silver kill mollusum?

On the internet, there are many anecdotal reports of colloidal silver alleviating or even curing molluscum infections. But it is not recognized by orthodox medicine as an effective treatment. Most molluscum victims who have reported success with colloidal silver agree that nano-particle colloidal silver works better than conventional colloidal silver. That means colloidal silver solutions containing very tiny silver particles between one and one hundred nanometers in size works best. According to internet reports, this is because the smaller silver particles are best able to penetrate the molluscum cell. "Nano-particle colloidal silver" can be found on the internet by googling that phrase. Two good brands are Sovereign Silver and ASAP Silver. From what I've seen, most people who have reported using colloidal silver successfully against molluscum say that it took many days or even weeks worth of treatment. Most of them used colloidal silver orally as well as topicallly, drinking two or three teaspoons or more daily, and also spraying colloidal silver directly onto the molluscum outbreak several times a day using a pump spray bottle, and allowing the colloidal silver to air dry on the skin. Unfortunately, nano-particle colloidal silver is very expensive, often costing anywhere from $15 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle. Such a small bottle would last about a week, if that, when treating molluscum. You might be better off purchasing a device called a colloidal silver generator, that allows you to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for just a few cents per each quart batch. That way, you can make all of the colloiidal silver you want, any time you need it, for only a few pennies. If you choose to go this route, make sure you get a colloidal silver generator that can produce the tiny, nano-particles of colloidal silver, rather than one that produces only a conventional colloidal silver solution. I personally use the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from www.TheSilverEdge.com. It produces silver particles as low as .0008 microns in size, which is a fraction of a single micron, or smaller than a single nanometer. No other colloidal silver generator I know of produces silver particles that small. You can read about it on several web sites, including www.TheSilverEdge and www.MicroParticleGenerator.com You can see a Transmission Electron Microsope slide of these tiny silver particles produced by the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator here: http://thesilveredge.com/mp5.shtml And you can view short, 3-minute video showing how this simple machine works, here: http://thesilveredge.com/vidclip.shtml Finally, you can read tons of articles about the amazing, infection-fighting power of colloidal silver at the Colloidal Silver Secrets blog, at www.ColloidalSilverSecrets.blogspot.com

Do Colloidal silver kill aids?

You'll find a great article about the powerful virucidal qualities of colloidal silver at this link: http://colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-nanosilver-silver-bullet-against.html It describes a number of studies in which various forms of silver -- including colloidal silver -- have been used to cure serious viral illnesses, ranging from flu to Hepatitis B to AIDS. However, please note that in some cases described in the above-recommended article, colloidal silver was used intravenously instead of orally. This requires a doctor's direct supervision. Colloidal silver should never be injected into the body unless it has been prepared in a proper hypotonic solution, by a knowledgeable and licensed physician, in order to avoid harm to the red blood cells. Oral doses of colloidal silver have anecdotally been reported to help AIDS patients with the secondary bacterial infections that generally accompany the disease. You can learn more about safe, oral doses of colloidal silver by downloading the FREE "safe dosage" report at www.TheSilverEdge.com (see download link in the upper left-hand corner of the home page).
