Colloidal Silver - Charlotte,NC

I used it for thrush and felt it worked. I got it from a lactation consultant who knows a lot about it and carries the product. Her website is www.lactationinnovation.com.

Hi S.,

I have talked with a few professionals on this issue because I was concerned with the silver building up in the body as well. I was told that the distributors/manufacturers of this product have done something to the suspension so that it does not build up the same way. You might want to consult your own experts :) or google :) but that was new information.

I use it when I need something strong like an antibiotic. It is MUCH safer than a synthetic pharmaceutical....that also stays in your body and will contraindicate with every other synthetic chemical that is already there (pesticides, preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, even laundry detergent ingredients absorbed through the skin....) It has cured my 92 year old Dad's pneumonia 4 times. He is on a feeding tube and can't swallow so he aspirates and it gets infected. If he had been on antibiotics that much in the last 4 years I'm sure he wouldn't be with us anymore. Antibiotics break down the immune system; Silver does not.

Just my two cents...

OH MY GOD!! Colloidal Silver is HARMFUL!! DO NOT USE IT! Google "blue man colloidal silver", and if you don't then give up any ideas about using colloidal silver, there is something wrong with you.

And then if you're unconvinced by the pictures, keep researching. And don't look at sites where they're trying to sell you the stuff, because of course they are going to tout colloidal silver's "benefits."

By the way, once people turn blue it is irreversible.

Come on people, use common sense! Eat healthy, exercise and take normal vitamins, if you feel you need them. Go to the fruit and vegetable isle of your local grocery store. Right there is everything you need to be healthy. Don't ingest a bunch of unregulated products.

And, no, those people didn't take "cups and cups." Yes, they probably took more than some people, but I don't think you need much more evidence than those photos to know that humans should not be ingesting that stuff. The reason people turn blue is that colloidal silver BUILDS UP in our bodies. So maybe those moms below just haven't taken it for enough years yet. Keep it up, moms, just wait and see.

Go to "Quackwatch" and read "Colloidal Silver - Risk Without Benefit" - for starters.

Hello S.,

Some people can tolerate it well, others cannot. my daughter's hands looked kind of pale/grayish/blueish after a couple of doses. it doesn't bother my son. it's not for daily use for sure. ocassional use is a great antibiotic. There are other natural alternatives, like thyme, basil, pau d' arco, etc.

Good luck! ~C.~

My only experience with it was watching the Dr. Oz episode on Oprah about it with the "Man who turned Blue" after using it for years.

I, personally, as a biologist and a long time employee in the pharmaceutical industry are skeptical about uses of products such as these, especially in my children.

Have you asked your pediatrician yet about their opinion or any available clinical/scientific evidence that supports its use?

I had the start of a sinus infection and was in early pregnancy. I didn't want to take any OTC medication due to the pregnancy. The pharmacist at People's Pharmacy recommended Colloidal Silver since I was preganant. Told me to lie on the bed, with my head hanging upside down off the side and put 2-3 drops in each nostril. Hang there for another 30 seconds... It did clear up my sinuses and it never developed into a sinus infection.

That being said, I wouldn't be comfortable ingesting any amount of it. And I don't use it often. I limit my use to a few drops, either in my nose (for congestion/sinus infection risks) or in an ear (for ear infection issues). I'm not sure I'd put it in an eye for eye drops... And once something is a full blown infection, I'd go the route of antibiotics.

I used Colloidal Silver on my children and myself for colds, flus and allergy symptoms. It was wonderful! It helped better than anything and I didn't have to use that much. I also used it for sores and it helped things heal so fast. Then my husband saw something about people turing silver using this so he put his foot down and said "no more." BUT those people were drinking cups and cups of it every day! I only used a few drops when needed and I used it for over 10 years before hubby said no, and we never turned silver...LOL But I respect and understand my hubby's concerns so now I use other things to treat my ailments but I'm still fond of Colloidal Silver... =)

Do your research diligently. It never leaves your body, so my question has always been "where does it go"? It stays in your body and just finds places to hang out??? it never leaves? I couldn't bring myself to even try it.

Hi S.,
The guy who turned blue from using colloidal silver drank it in mass quantity on a daily basis.

I have used it on severe cuts and it helped greatly! Also, my mom used to use it on the cats and the dog when I was young. It cleared up mattery eyes, cuts, and respiratory problems in our animals.

The only way it is bad for you is if you use it everyday.
