Hi everyone! I've been reading and lurking for about a week. My own bottom line after being aware of and using colloidal silver for about two years is the following:
1. It works. 2. Only use .001 micron size colloidal silver particles 3. Use smaller parts per million (5 to 20) 4. It must have a natural yellowish color 5. limit its use to serious uses, not to be used frivolously. Whenever possible, use specific natural herbs and natural essential oils first. Then use mild silver protein for a prescribed period of time, then stop its use. Hildegard Von Bingen, approx. 1100 A.D., Germany, said that silver over a long period of time will cause damage. So this idea is nothing new. In a recent book (1996 printing), "I Am Rock Medicine" by Sela Weidemann Randazzo, the author says that silver inhibits lower body elimination. This would of course refer to the kidneys and the bowels. She also says that silver inhibits detoxification, and to remove all silver jewelry when undergoing detoxification. Regarding number 5 above, remember that you are taking a medicine when you are taking colloidal silver. You are not taking in a "food" that nature intended for you to take on a daily basis. Step back and take a look at the big picture. Don't get caught up in the faddishness of the moment, and later regret your lack of circumspection. When I was born, silver nitrate was put in my eyes to prevent any potential gonorrheal blindness, which was somewhat common in the early 40's. In hindsight, they would have done me a favor to have used mild silver protein instead of the much stronger and now unacceptable silver nitrate. Until we know more, use it sparingly and with caution, considering we also have other natural, effective, remedies at our disposal.
