[Q] collodial silver

[Glenn Lyvers]

People say this (collodial silver) is not harmful, and indeed it kills both bacteria and virus type infections better than antibiotics etc.

 

What's the truth of this?

[Turtle]

Not a good choice unless you have nothing else. :confused:

Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver in a liquid base — in this case, distilled water. Karason makes it himself by running an electrical current through water with a piece of silver in it, a process called electrolysis.

 

Silver has antibacterial properties and has been used to fight infection for thousands of years. But it went out of use when penicillin, which is far more effective, was developed.

 

It continued to be used in some over-the-counter medicines until 1999, when the FDA banned it because it causes argyria, which is a result of the silver reacting with light the same way it does in photography. The silver collects in the skin and other organs and does not dissipate.

 

Silver is a heavy metal and doctors say it can collect in the organs and cause kidney and liver damage and even brain seizures. But it is still sold as a dietary supplement. ...

Yeah I heard about this guy. It turns out he used sterling silver to create his own collodial silver at home. The side effect of using impure silver is that the suspension liquid has larger particles, which end up in the skin.

 

I recently met several people who have taken collodial silver for over 20 years, and they are not altered in their appearance. The guy in your video is a strange example for sure - and he is still taking it, though I hear he learned how to make it properly.

 

Can you imagine being blue? That has to be a hard situation at times.

If I remember correctly collodial silver is also in the so-called "nano-washing-machines", really cool because it kills all the bacteria in the clothes, not really cool because it ends in the rivers.

 

A undergoing study (spoke to the person doing it, not completed it yet) showed that actually fish were dying of it...

[Glenn Lyvers]

If it is shown that it kills fish, then those washing machines should be banned.

 

I hope that's not true. Thanks for the info, ... very interesting.

[sanctus]

SO I should actually have said "seem to show" that it kills fish...and not what I said, since the study has no definitve results yet.

[Glenn Lyvers]

That's cool Sanctus, I knew what you meant.

It is not clear if your met people take it regularly as does Bluey or just when they have an infection. B) Seems to me taking any antibiotic regularly would indiscriminately ice the good bacteria too. :naughty:
