Colloidal Silver

I gave it to my 10 month old, two times a day, to help him recover from croup and RSV---he was better in one week. It also helps my hubbie keep sinus infections away. I love the stuff!

I would say not: http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAd...

I would suggest Echinacea with a multi-vitamin. I also find that AirBorne workes great as well.

Good luck and be well!

Hi S.:

I started using Colloidal silver just when my girls started getting sick and it kicked it right out of the ball park. My oldest is 18 and I started using it when she was 4, because we were in the Dr's office at least once a month, seriously! We haven't looked back since a friend told me about colloidal silver!

It can be a little expensive at a homeopathic pharmacy, so I would look on line. You can google, or go with this one. I think it will be the best thing you will ever do! http://www.healingwithnutrition.com/products/colloidalsil...

Good luck and let me know!

Hi S.,
Check out the article in People about 3 weeks ago about the man who litterally turned blue from taking too much colloidal silver. I know this is an extreme case. I think in moderation it could help. I just recently found out about the new nutirional liquid endorsed by The Chopra Center called Zrii. I;ve been taking it for 3 months as well as my husband, 4 year old son, mom, dad and my sister's entire family. Sickness in our family has been mild to non-existen for some of us this winter. Kids can take it (and Love the taste). I loved it so much I started to distribute it to my friends!

Colloidal Silver could be one of the things that would help support your immune system. I know a wonderful herbalist who you could talk with about supplements. Nanette Gil: ###-###-#### in Ventura. She also is in Bakersfield part of the week: ###-###-####. I've known Nanette for over 15 years, and I've called her many many times over the years for advice about herbs and supplements for my family and friends.

Did you see that article I think it was in People Magazine, about the man who added colloidal silver to his diet? He turned blue. Maybe there's another way to get healthy? Accupuncture, a homeopathic doctor? Anything but that!
S. T

Did you see the article in People magazine recently about the man who applied it directly to his skin and it turned his skin blue?

Colloidal Silver is very effective against bacteria, fungus and virus. My suggestion is to take it when you feel something coming on like a sore throat or flu symptom. Its effects are astounding but remember when taken on a daily basis for a long period of time, it turns your nails and skin a blue/green color. 10 parts per million is not as effective as 22 ppm. Most nutrition stores just carry the 10 ppm because it is cost effective, but my advice is why try to save money when it's all about your health. We're worth it!

Ingestion of colloidal silver has no proven health benefits and can turn your skin blue. Please try and get more rest, and washing hands frequently can reduce the spread of infections.

If you want some pictoral evidence, type argyria in a search engine and look at the pictures. Here is a list of complications from an emedicine article:
Complications

The systemic toxic effects of silver may include the following:
Gastrointestinal catarrh
Tissue wasting
Uremia
Albuminuria
Fatty degeneration of the liver, kidney, and heart
Hemorrhage
Idiopathic thrombocytopenia
Fluidity of the blood
Chronic bronchitis
Loss of coordination
Decreased night vision
Gustatory disturbance
Vestibular impairment
Seizure of the grand mal type
Death by paralysis of the respiratory system

Hi I dont know much about Colloidal Siver. Is your family curently on any other supplements? Most people do not get their daily vitamins and fruit and vegis servings daily in the foods they eat so I am a big supplement believer. We are rarely sick and if it does happen its very short.
My family takes a multi daily supplement pack from Arbonne, that contains vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, green foods and calcium for women, prostate for men. We have a kids power punch that they drink that is loaded with green food vegis and vitamins and it taste great. If you buy your supplememts elsewhere make sure they are cold pressed, vegan and contain your core vitamins, minerals, antioxidents and green food..We also take a tablet called "get well soon" when we are exposed to sick people or feel something coming on..It contains things like golden seal and echinacea..If you want any free samples let em know..

S.,

This is what I found at mayoclinic.com.

Colloidal silver is not considered either safe or effective in any of the health claims manufacturers make. No studies to evaluate colloidal silver have been published in reputable medical journals. Thus, all the claims for health benefits are based on manufacturers' opinions and anecdotes.

The Food and Drug Administration does not consider colloidal silver safe or effective to treat any disease or condition. Taking colloidal silver could have serious side effects, such as:

Argyria — an irreversible blue-gray discoloration of your skin, nails and gums
Seizures and other neurological problems
Kidney damage
Indigestion
Headaches
Fatigue
Skin irritation
Drug interactions with penicillamine, quinolones, tetracycline and thyroxine medications
Whenever you're considering taking a new dietary supplement, two questions are key:

Will this do what the manufacturer or advertiser claims?
Is it safe for me?
Your physician is your best partner to help you answer such questions. However, in the case of colloidal silver, with no reliable evidence of a benefit and lots of potential risk, it's best to leave the silver for your jewelry!

I give my daughter (17 months) a dropper-full after playdates with other toddlers and park time. If she is around a child who is ill, I give her several droppers full per day for a couple of days.

My husband and myself take an ounce or so a couple of times a day when we feel an illness coming on.

We've used colloidal silver to successfully fight off sinus infections, and also for infected wounds.

We buy ours online from BioAlternatives. Much cheaper than Whole Foods or Lindburg. I know one person who is really into it and makes it herself. There are books available on how to do it.

Silver, like anything else, can be harmfull or toxic in large doses....
Yes, it is an antiseptic...
Use a little at a time...DO NOT use a metal spoon as this "SUCKS" the life out of the silver....
Without knowing where you live, or if your eating well, or supplementing, i would suggest you start by re-balancing your body...You need to start ALKALYSING your system..It is proven a higher PH 8-10, and disease, illness, cancer cannot survive..This is FACT....
____@____.com
Try adding a satchet of x20 to your drinking water..This has a PH of 9.9 plus over 70trace mineral to help re-balance your entire system....
e-mail me directly for more info, or check it out at the xooma website,
www.xooma.ca

We havnt had a cold or flu since using this product and our newborn (3 months) is also using this as well...We add it to the Enfamil A+ formula...............

Isn't that what turned that guy in People magazine BLUE?

Hi S.,
Today with all the chemicals in household products and personal care products we are lucky to be healthy at all. Check out my perk for Melaleuca products and switch over to 100% natural products. We have an amazing product that kills salmonella, staph and pseudomonas on hard surfaces and is EPA approved and it is made from thyme oil! That is just one product. We have over 350 different products for your home, personal care, nutritional need, pharmaceuticals, even cosmetics. I set up customer accounts and help people switch over without using 'new' money. I'd love to talk to you more.

Colloidal silver is great and useful because it blocks the enzymes which feed harmful organisms within the body. It is good to use with a cleanse and to help illness leave the body. However, most people don't need to use it on a regular basis. It is much better to heal oneself through food and drink rather than bolster up the system with vitamins & supplements while continuing to consume things that are nutritionally poor or detrimental to the body.

Drink more water first. Water is the ultimate cleanser. Do you have a good diet? Refined sugar, salt and white flour will stunt the immune system as well as processed foods, sodas and chemical additives. Do you buy organic food? If not maybe the pesticides are weakening your system. The same applies to hormone & antibiotic injected meat.

Search for the root of the illness. What is stagnant in your life right now? The sickness is trying to tell you something.

The best provider for colloidal silver is www.purestcolloids.com

I swear by colloidal silver. My husband and I take 2 teaspoons a day. I was hesitant in giving it to our children until our son entered preschool. When he first started going, he was sick almost every other week. We decided to start giving him 1 teaspoon in his morning cup of juice. He was only sick with a cough once this year and it cleared up in 3 days.
We also use it topically to help heal bumps and cuts. The kid's bruises rarely last more then a day and the cuts and scrapes have never become infected or scare.
When my daughter was 9 months old she got an ear infection. We dropped a few drops of colloidal silver in her ears and her infection cleared up the next day. She is 2 now and hasn't had an ear infection since.
Colloidal Silver is completely safe for children; you cannot overdose on Colloidal Silver.
There are so many websites that can give you more specific details on how Colloidal Silver works.
Good Luck!

Colloidal silver is one of many immune system boosters. I recommend talking to a naturopath about your family's health. If you decide to go with the silver, then you should consider investing in a colloidal silver maker, which costs about $10 and makes colloidal silver from normal drinking water. This will save you a lot of money!! We also take E-mergenc-C at the first sign of a sniffle or when feeling slightly run down. Basic advise: Lots of water and liquids and plenty of rest. Wash hands and keep separate hand towels to avoid spreading germs. :)

S., I've been taking colloida silver for years due to low immunity in my system...I (knock on wood) haven't been ill in years. My niece has/had Hepatitis and the Doctors recommended Colloida Silver.
Do realize there are 3 types...go to Google.com, and educate yourself on which is the better one.

The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacteria or other single celled pathogens, disables it's oxygen metabolism enzyme. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared from the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.
It is also written there are no side effects to Colloidal Silver...Good cells are not effected - only toxic cells. Interesting, huh?
Good luck....G.

The only thing I've heard about it is that it can make your skin turn blue. Have all allergies been checked out? Have you had your venting system in your house cleaned or checked for mold? Just some ideas...

Dear S.,
I am a Holistic Health Practioner, I use for my family many holistic and old fashion health remedies. Colloidal Silver (C.S.)is good for a substitute for Antibotics.Healthy living along with healthy diet, probiotics and stress free lifestyle can certainly be a good start to a sick free life. There are two types of Colloidal Silver available, one is stronger than the other. Ask the health food store which is which. I have misgivings useing C.S. on an ongoing basis.
I always ask my clients, do they eat a lot of processed foods. Healthy nutrution is the number one lifestyle change to consider. Finding the close to the naural source of any food the better. Gluten can be reduced from the diet and really have a good effect on health.
There are many books and hopefully a holistic center or health food store in your area you can visit, . I'm sure you will feel better just knowing you are doing something good for your family. Good luck, T.

S.,
If you live locally near Grover Beach, you are one of the lucky ones. We have the Natural Edge and Zona Mikkelson. She can answer all your questions and will help you keep your family healthy. We use Zona before our regular doctor to keep our systems working naturally. Her business number is ###-###-####. Colloidal silver is used in my home, but Zona can give you dosage and you'll feel better about using it. Call her, she is a gift that keeps on giving! Good Luck!

For you, I would suggest adding freeze-dried garlic. For your little one, there is a great children's formula by Child's life, which also contains a small amount of colloidal silver. This worked wonders when my daughter was an infant.

I have been giving my family..and son (2) colloidal silver for some time now, its easy to give him and keeps his immunity up. I just give it to him if he has been around a sick kid and if anyof us have gotten sick it greatly reduces sick time. So far it has worked very well! Buy a good kind though.

I have had great success preventing and treating colds with Gemmotherapy Black Currant and Briar Rose (for children) and Common Birch (for adults). During the winter we take the drops in liquid three times a week and twice a day when we have a cold. Don't take the Black Currant too late in the day (after 3 or 4pm) as it is stimulating. Do some serious research on Colloidal Silver. I have used it for strep and serious throat infections, but there have been reports of late of using too much combined with sun exposure turning skin permanently blue.

I'd be really cautious about including colloidal silver in my family's diet- the risk of silver toxicity is too great; especially with such a little one (are you nursing?). Let your doctor know your thoughts and see what he/she advises. I'd recommend including more natural dietary supplements and would be happy to tell you what I use if you are interested :-)

If you are looking for a supplement, you should look into VeMMA-Viatmins, essential Minerals. Mangosteen & Aloe. It is 100% natural, 12 full spectrum vitamins, 65 trace & ultra trace essential minerals and is most complete vitamin supplement available. If you would like more info about it you can check out this website.

http://www.myvemma.com/deanareynolds click on product info. Or you can call me at ###-###-#### and I can tell you how much it has helped my family.

Hi S.,
I take silver and so do my very close friends/family. We even give it to our daughters (ages 11 mos and 19 mos)If you purchase the machine you can make it yourself and never be out of it. If you want any more info you can e-mail me. ____@____.com
good luck!
B.

take probiotics with C.S.

Absolutely, do not add colodial silver as a supplement. There just was an article in People Magazine about a man who took the same supplement and it permanently turned his skin, from head to toe, blue. I've also heard of a woman who's skin turned gray. Please research this and you'll find it to be true. Don't use it, please.

Dear S.,

Dooooonnnnnn'''''ttttt dooooooo it !!

Haven't you seen the fellow on NBC lately who has taken colloidal silver ? His skin turned blue, yes, it did. Try vitamins and more fruit and fresh vegetables, and remember, those illnesses are just a part of life.

No Kidding, C. N.

google Paul Karason. he was taking this.

I have not used this but have done research myself. If you don't use too much of it you should be ok. It is more important to get the proper nutrition. Supplementation is good. We take Risotriene. Google it and learn about it. Our life has changed since adding it to our diet. It is great! It is a rice bran that I add into a drink every morning. But the vitamins and other beneficial things in it are uncomparible. I was very sick before finding out about it through my homeopath. God Bless M., mom of 2 girls

Hi S.:

You may want to look into whether you and your son have allergies. My 11 month old grand daughter was sick constantly until she was treated for allergies, and now, for the first time in her life, she is not taking any medicine, and is eating better and sleeping better.

I would suggest you visit NAET.com, order and read the book "Say Good-Bye to Children's Allergies," or "Say Good-Bye to Illness." If you want to do more research on the subject, you may also want to go to narfnet.org (Nambudripad Allergy Research Foundatin). There are now over 9000 NAET certified practitioners world wide. I go to Dr. David Karaba in Fullerton and absolutely love him. His phone number is ###-###-####. One of the wonderful things about NAET is that for children or the infirm, they can be treated through a surrogate, i.e., you. Here is the description paragraph from the book information.

"Say Good-bye to Children’s Allergies
By - Devi S. Nambudripad, M.D., D.C., L.Ac., R.N., Ph.D.

In Say Good-bye to Children’s Allergies, Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad, the developer of NAET®, will help you understand your child’s illness and will assist you in finding the right help to achieve better health for your child. This book will show you how certain commonly used products in your foods and environment can cause health problems in your child; how you can test your child in your privacy of your own home using the Nambudripad’s Testing Techniques described in the book. This book will educate you how your child’s health problems can relate to allergy, a traditionally under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed condition; and, how allergies can manifest into myriad symptoms that might seem unrelated.

Dr. Nambudripad explains how allergies are often the underlying causes to pediatric problems and how NAET® testing procedures and NAET® treatments can offer relief from these allergies. The book is supported by NAET® practitioners’ testimonials and patients’ success stories."

S.,

I just read an article in People magazine regarding a guy who self medicated using colloidal silver. He suffered from acid reflux and was taking it internally. He also began to use it on his face for a skin condition. He used it over several years and it eventually turned his body blue. (you'd have to see it to believe it) Unfortunately nothing can be done to reverse the effects as the silver has built up in his skin cells. So be careful. The People Magazine was a January addition, you may want to have a look at it.

Colloidal Silver Atoms and Gold Atoms rated at 3000 PPM are the new kid on the block when it comes down to Colloidal Monatomic Products and most likely an answer to many of societies concerns. Noble metals such as gold Iridium and ruthenium have been reported to be effective in treatment of these problems.

Colloidal Gold, Iridium and Ruthenium supplements are available at values of 3000 PPM to 4000 PPM and are made with no chemicals. http://www.gold2live.com/

These products are made with cutting edge technology that does not use chemicals and there are NO Heavy Metals because the particles size is about the size of an atom, rendering true trace mineral supplements.

My personal opinion is still in diet....usually highly processed food diets keep the immune system down and high alkaline diets of vegetables, chicken and fish build the immune system back up again with lots of water. The colloidal silver can be good, but it can not be a substiute.......hope this helps.....R. marcelle

S.,
Be careful with colloidal silver, it can turn you blue.
K.

I saw a report about a man who used it for a skin condition and he ended up turning completely blue! I wouldn't use it... It's a heavy metal like lead and can cause severe damage to your organs. You should definitely look into other options to keep your family healthy.

S.,

I have a 18 yo daughter who was sick. Back then the only options were to give them antibiotics. Eventually, I had to close my private practice (therapist) and become not only a stay at home mom, but home school both my children. I began to do research and discovered that most of the things we have in our home are chemically based and toxic. Get out all of the cleaning supplies and use only natural products. UREA, bleach, you name it. Don't be afraid to use alternatives. There are good alternative dr's out there. Get a consult. I used colloidal silver, but my kids were older. It is great when diluted for pink eye. It does sting, so be careful on an 8 month old. Good luck. Debbie
A little about me:
Mother of 18 and 20 year old, back to work as child play therapist.

Hi- I have been using Colloidal Silver for over two years with both my kids (ages 4 and 8) and my husband who tends to get a lot of sinus infections. We call it monster spray and the kids don't mind it one bit. It TRULY helps. At the first sign of a sniffle or a sore throat we spray their throats several times a day. We even use the nasal formula for sinus infections - it takes them a way in half of the time then without as well as eliminates the needs for antibiotics.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Colloidal Silver- it is also great for minor cuts and burns. Heals them quickly!

The key is buying hi-grade ppm- we have tried several brands and my favorite is "solutiions ie" brand - free shipping at colloidalsivler.com

good luck!
