Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 - I make my own Colloidal Silver and it is very useful and powerful and I have been very pleased with its benefits. However, it is just silver and water created using electricity. A formula like Super Tonic (garlic, onions, habeneros, ginger and horseradish) helps boost your immune system and actually feeds the good bacteria in your body. So it effects are much more powerful on a whole system wide level. It helps build your body back up. If you take colloidal silver everyday, minus a healing reaction or two, it will fend off colds, flu and bronchitis and it is leaps and bounds better than antibiotics because it does no harm to your body. But it is not giving your body the nutrients it needs to fight off the pathogens, it is fighting them for you. This can be good and bad. If someone has very little interest in nutrition colloidal silver may be the place for them. It works and will keep you from getting sick, but it doesn't address the underlying cause to why the person is getting sick. I took colloidal silver for a couple of years with great results and during that time I changed my diet and life style. I now take colloidal silver very infrequently because my body is able to fight off the pathogens on its own. I never get sick anymore, the only time a may get a headache or ache is during a cleanse (or when I have a couple of beers, but there is no remedy for that!!!). I think colloidal silver is a great alternative to antibiotics. People often refer to it as " A second Immune system " . But garlic, for example, works synergistically with your body to build your immune system and fight off the pathogens. There is no substitute for nature and what it can provide us with. My ex-girlfriend had been on antibiotics for years on and off. I made her a bottle of colloidal silver and she has not needed any antibiotics since. After we broke up she ran out of silver and I talked to her last week and she had a little cold and said she needed some silver. So, during that time when she was using the silver she wasn't building her body's immune system back up. I tried to get her to do it naturally, but it was a struggle. (At least she didn't take and still hasn't taken antibiotics.) So when the silver dissipated from her body, the immune system was still a little under the weather and she got sick. So I guess my closing point is that colloidal silver is very beneficial. It works best when combined with a nutritional program to help boost the immune system. That is my 2-cents...
