Default Colloidal Silver

Tell me about it

What do you use it for?

What form/brand do you use?

I've heard good things and bad things about it. Is it only unsafe if used for a long period of time?

If I'm not lactating, I use it to cure pink eye. Clears it right up!

If I feel a sore throat coming on, I'll take some, and it usually kicks the sore throat before you know it.

Eta: I've read about how it can kill the beneficial gut flora (because it's antibiotic?), so I'm careful not to use too much. But when in need, I don't hesitate.

It's great for pink eye! We kept getting a reoccurrence of it until i realized you can put the Silver in their eyes. Also it has helped with ear aches and we also use it whenever colds are coming on.

Recently we started swishing it around our teeth to help with some cavities we don't have the funds to fill yet.

I started using this last spring, both my doctor and my chiropractor recommend this. It's pricey, though, I need to see if there's a more affordable version. http://www.resultsrna.com/products/acs_200_overview/ I know someone who had pretty severe Lyme and was transformed after only a few sprays.

Default Re: Colloidal Silver

I've used it for a staph infection and strep and once with other things for a bullseye rash. For me, it's a thing I save for the worst case scenarios and I don't use it often. I forget if I had any facts to base this on but it being a metal and ds testing high in metals is a consideration.
