On page 88 of Searle's text The Use Of Colloids In Health
And Disease, he mentions that colloidal iron has particular
bactericidal action "in cases of catarrh of the nose, larynx
and pharynx" and that the colloidal form of iron is not
affected by gastric juices, unlike iron compounds.
Has anybody any experience with colloidal iron with
upper respiratory infection? Can it be made by a LVDC
method? What source of iron makes a good, pure
electrode? Are there  toxicity issues?
Thanks in advance for your input.
