looking for NON biased info on colloidal silver... - Alternative Medicine Message Board

Tractormomma · 03-21-2001, 10:45 PM

I have been looking around trying to find NON biased info on Colloidal silver. Every place I have found is trying to SELL it, so I am not totally convinced that they are being honest about the dangers and or benefits.

The one website I found on the topic was about aygria...some kind of skin discoloration that is supposedly from the silver supplement. That lady used a product 40yrs ago and turned gray, now she says its all bad and a snake oil remedy, but, on that website, they havent got even one other person who has come forward to say that they have experienced the same thing.

ANY personal experiences or info I would love to hear.

I make my own colloidal silver with a silver pulser from sota instruments.

I had a cold last november and got over it in two weeks with very mild symptoms using the colloidal silver. I have not had another cold since then this whole winter.

Regarding that agyria website by rosemary: she admits on the site that she does not know what kind of silver product she was given or how much. In those days silver medicines contained as much as 35% silver. Thats 350,000 parts per million. My colloidal silver is 3-5 parts per million. Big difference. I drink small amounts for short periods of time. In fact, none since that cold in November.

Do some more searching and don't be discouraged by the hysterical scare stories. If you decide to use colloidal silver, make your own, don't buy it (too expensive and of uknown quality).

I actually bought a colloidal silver generator for about $39 but havent used any of the product yet, just wanted to be sure I intend to use it before I open it.

I ordered the generator, and after it was shipped I started looking around, and found these other sites that were a bit concerning. I dont want to use or give to my kids, anything that will cause us harm...(funny I say that about herbal/natural remedies, but give them antibiotic after antibiotic that is doing little more than destroying their immune systems)

I will keep reading..thanks for the input.

Hi I use it and think its great! I buy mine at GNC...don't want to mess with making it and you really have to be careful that you don't get too much silver in it. I have used it by taking by mouth and putting directly on sores or cuts. I had a small skin infection and put the silver on it with a bandaide over it and it drew the pus right out of there. Currently I am using it on a spider bite I got over a week ago on my little toe. Have no idea what kind of spider it was and did go to the dr who put me on an antibotic and rx an antibotic cream to put on it but wrote the rx wrong and I wasn't able to fill that until five days later!

And was only able to take the antibotic three days as anymore they make my stomach hurt so bad all I can do is lay around and you know that doesn't work when you have a five year old child.

From what I have read on websites about spider bites is that antibotics don't work on it anyway. I was following the dr advise and it was getting no better...keeps blistering back up and itching like crazy, plus redness and swelling. So I decided to put a cotton ball between my toes...the bite is inside my little toe but has spread over to the toe next to it. And I flood the cotton ball with the silver...and hope and pray this draws out the venom from the bite.

I feel like the posion must still be in there since it keeps blistering. I went back to the dr yesertday because of the swelling and itching and he said I was having an allergic recation to the bite and to take benadril...well that is fine and dandy but from what I read on different website today this is normal for a toxic spider bite not just some allergic recation.

Anyway I will just keep using the silver and hope this takes care of it.

This sure will be a test of how good it is huh?
