I recommended gargling & swallowing 20 - 30 ml of CS for someone with laryngitis - this was someone else's response - this is what we are up against I guess - all I can do is groan. On the other hand I suppose I could point out other anomalies the FDA show in their recommendations.

I just did a brief search and came up with several sites explaining the dangerous side of effects of using colloidal silver. Ingesting silver is toxic and the damage done is not reversable. There are many MLM companies saying it is safe to use colloidal silver but MLM companies, as we all know, have a lot of hype to sell products. On the other hand essential oils when used in proper amounts by diffusing them, inhaling them or as a massage oil or lotion in the proper percentages will help with many health concerns. Your body doesn't store essential oils in the body, it eliminates them usually within a few hours. Please note: Do not ingest essential oils unless they are prescribed by a licensed medical practioner. You do not ingest essential oils for health concerns - in the USA - if you are an aromatherapist - you know that the FDA rules do not allow us to tell folks to ingest. We can have you Gargle a diluted warm water solution with a drop or two of essential oils added but you would 'spit' it out and not swallow it. Please note that Sweet Birch and Wintergreen are not true essential oils and as such will accumulate in the liver. They contain methyl salicylate and it is widely known that salicylates are toxic and need to be used with caution. The best suggestion for Laryngitis is still to inhale essential oils that reduce inflammation such as the Chamomiles or even Eucalyptus oils. See my previous post of an article written with suggestions to help in particular for laryngitis. I'm sure there are a few herbalists on this list that may know of polstices or balms that can be used on the throat region to help with the inflammation also.
