Colloidal Silver

Background/History

Silver has a rich history as an antibiotic/anti-microbial. It just works. Water stored in silver containers stays fresh -- this is why the Roman Empire used them.

Where the controversy and confusion begin is, as usual, in modern times. I can't legally make any medical claim here, but I can say that the claims the medical industry makes about "silver turning you blue" are ridiculous when dosing properly. More info on the Blue Man hoax

Argyria results from prolonged contact with or ingestion of silver salts. Argyria is characterized by gray to gray-black staining of the skin and mucous membranes produced by silver deposition. Silver may be deposited in the skin either from industrial exposure or as a result of medications containing silver salts. [1]

Prior to 1999, colloidal silver was viewed as a "Pre-1938" drug and not subject to FDA approval. [2] Since that time, colloidal silver is no longer considered a pre-1938 drug [3] but can still be marketed as a dietary supplement.

Colloidal Silver by another name... Collargolum
