Colloidal silver is being touted as a "natural universal antibiotic." It is
also said to (guess what) "enhance the immune system" (which seems to have
become the universal claim for contemporary quackery!). Promoters claim
colloidal silver is useful for HIV/AIDS, cancer, herpes, candidasis, stap h &
strep infections, shingles, TB, diabetes, as an antiparasitic medication, and
more. The FDA is not aware of any substantial evidence which demonstrates that
colloidal silver solution is useful to prevent or treat any serious condition,
or that it is safe. The substance has not been proved safe or effective. FDA
warns that the indiscriminate use of colloidal silver solutions can result in
argyria which includes a permanent ashen-gray discoloration of the skin.
