Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Meleah, I remember researching this a lot and basically, there is just one scary story that is posted online over at quackwatch.com, where this woman tells her awful story of having her skin turn grey and cautioning people not to use colloidal silver. BUT, if you really read her history, you see that as a child, many years ago in the pre-antibiotic years.... she was given great quantities of silver nitrate drops which were administered up her nose, for chronic sinus infections. Silver nitrate used to be given to newborns in an eye drop or ointment, too.... but anyway, it has WAY, WAY more silver in it than true colloidal silver and is probably responsible for that woman's condition. I would agree with you that the real colloidal silver is very safe.... and the way I use it is probably erring way over on the extreme side of over-cautiousness. My other reason for using it just as a topical is because it's so darned expensive. But, when I recommend it to people and they respond with hesitancy about it's safety, I just advise using it topically only if they fear this bizarre and unlikely side-effect. If I had a desperately ill person in my household, with some sort of really serious viral or bacterial illness, I would not hesitate to have them drink several ounces of it hourly. I know colloidal silver is someday going to be relied upon for those antibiotic resistant bacterial strains, and wild mutant viruses (think bird flu!)... ! I know I'm going to be keeping a half dozen bottles in MY pantry, just in case. Patti ot; colloidal silver response I just wanted to share some info that I found about colloidal silver today. I remember a post this week asking for ear infection remedies, and that Patty said that she uses colloidal silver for topical healing. Someone else cautioned against using it internally as it can cause the skin to turn grey, and it can be dangerous. I actually have colloidal silver in my medicine cabinet, but haven't used it much. A bit of internet research told me that there are three types of " colloidal silver " on the market, but only one is true colloidal silver. Ionic silver and true colloidal silver are not dangerous. The other one...can't remember what it is called...is marketed as colloidal silver, and can be dangerous if too much is taken. You will know if you have the " bad " kind because it will foam up when shaken. It is suspended in a protein, and that is what causes the foaming. A lot of interesting research has been done on colloidal silver...the true form...and bacteria, parasites, ect. cannot survive in the presence of true colloidal silver. It has been used to treat collera, colitis, viruses, ect. I'm not going to go through everything, but it was very interesting how colloidal silver relates to our immune system. I just googled " uses for colloidal silver " and tons of info came up. I'll use the disclaimer that I'm not a medical dr., and I am not advocating anyone go around drinking colloidal silver. You should read the information for yourself. It's very interesting.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Patty, I'd like to know what brand you buy, powder or liquid, ect. Can you email me off list for a few more details. You're right that it will be relied upon one day for serious illnesses. I already have read about some initial research for bird flu, HIV virus, ect. I'm wishing that I had some on hand for iel because I'm pretty positive now that he does have strep. He's refuse to eat or drink anything which is what he always does when he has strep. I asked him if his throat hurts, and he says " No. Beard. " . My husband has a beard, so I think he's trying to express where it hurts, and doesn't know what his throat is. Anyway, I'd like to get more info from you regarding colloidal silver products.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 collidal silver is useful for external appication and maybe limited internal use to kill stomach bacteria or something but it is a heavy metal and some-one i know after a weeks use of internal taking went off her scone in a mannner similar to mercury toxicity this happens way before skin greying becomes an issue on the net all the 'take every day' die hards are all off thier scones, you can tell from what they write on their web sites > > Meleah, > > I remember researching this a lot and basically, there is just one scary story that is posted online over at quackwatch.com, where this woman tells her awful story of having her skin turn grey and cautioning people not to use colloidal silver.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Actually, the web sites that I was reading were not " personal stories " of colloidal silver success. These were medical reports, research papers, ect...actual medical stuff. I will be asking our dan doctor about it though. I gave some to iel yesterday...only about a Tbsp., and today he is up and around with absolutely no symptoms of the illness. I don't think that this is coincidental. Like I said, I will consult our doctor. Thank you for the cautioning words. Meleah ot; colloidal silver response >> >> >> I just wanted to share some info that I found about colloidal > silver today.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 So, would you say then that colloidial silver would NOT be good for autistics? (Since they have a hard time detoxing to begin with and they already have heavy metals). Sorry a little OT.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 for some persistent bacterial infections only collodial silver will work you are looking for a simple rule, but there are no rules only an uunderstanding of the tradeoffs colliodal silver does seem to be much better excreted than other heavy metals but yes, its definitely neurally toxic so you have to mix and match so to speak actually for cuts and things i use povidine iodine which seems to work pretty well but say using povidine iodine but putting an application in of colliodal silver to get the bugs from another direction if you see what i mean > > So, would you say then that colloidial silver would NOT be good for autistics?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thanks . I do tend to switch on/off with different supplements, foods, oils, etc. with breaks. I feel a good balance there. I wasn't feeling good about using the colloidial silver @ all for K but, I see what you're saying I think.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Oops.... meant that to go directly to Carol only. Sorry! Even moderators are human. sheepishly, Patti Re: Re: ot; colloidal silver response You know, I'm not going to continue replying to this topic on the list, but..... just FYI.....true colloidal silver is FDA approved here in the US as an anti-bacterial. This Canadian doctor you refer to may have been sued.... and maybe up there, precribing or selling colloidal silver is a crime, but it's not here.
