Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I have been using colloidal silver, 5-7ppm, daily for four years, I have not read anything detrimental about silver in the colloidal form, -even at higher ppm. It is the other compounds of silver that cause problems. -- In herbal remedies , " Sheila " <hrbs4hlth@e...> wrote: > > > Hi everyone. I am new to this list, but not new to herbs.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I was also told that atomic silver (called Mild Silver Protein or Liquid Silver) is better, but I am afraid to take it as I read that silver particles have been found in the tissue of the central nervous system. --- Sheila <hrbs4hlth wrote: > > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 wrote: <snip> > I do not buy into the FDA being totally corrupt or biased Hi Dr. Phil! Some time ago (might be twenty years, now) the FDA adopted a finance model that has some built-in bias favoring not so much Western medicine as " big money " medicine. As I understand it, the persons seeking approval of a drug or whatever have to finance all the the " research " the FDA supposedly does. The starting bid on this was $100 million US and is most likely much more by now. The whole FDA budget is said to come from these payments. No doubt this was done with the best of intentions, to " save money " for the government. Somehow, however, when you are " regulating " your best and only Santa Claus . . . This is not to say that when the application comes in with a whole pile of supposed research data and a check for $whatever$, that as it makes the rounds of all the FDA researchers' desks, they might glance at it before they sign it without any research whatsoever other than what was provided in the data pile if any even was. This is not to say that at all! Then the drug is released. If there are no unusual number of deaths or injuries that can be attributed to it the drug stays on the market. If the adverse effects mount beyond a certain number, the drug is then recalled, as often happens. This is not to say that the public release is the only actual research study, not to say that at all! Regards, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks Phil, Great post. Research is an interesting process and should never be accepted 100%. Yes it is 36 volts. :-) I start with 4 batteries because distilled water is a terrible conductor of electricity, but once the reaction is going along I step it down to 3.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Dianne, I only use colloidal silver when I'm ill, or if I feel a cold coming on. If I feel it in my nose, I will just drop a few drops into each nostil, twice a day for three days or until that cold feeling goes away. I've also put some in my kids ears when they've had a bit of an ache. With regard to the silver skin - look for silver that is no more than 10 parts per million. 5 parts per million is better, but I have yet to find that myself. Also the silver should be clear as water. If you get some that is brownish - take it back - the quality is low. Debra - fluffybunnyyy herbal remedies Saturday, December 03, 2005 3:45 AM Herbal Remedies - Colloidal Silver Hi all,I am just a little concerned. A lot of people on this list recommends Colloidal Silver. Is it really good for you to have one tablespoon a day with each meal? To keep your health and intestines clean??Because I was told that it can make your skin go grey and your skin can never retain its pigment colour. I dont want to start drinking this if this is the case? Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 If you use good quality colloidal silver it will do no harm what so ever. I and everyone in my family use it every single day...we ingest a swish or two a day, spray it on cuts, spots, bites, rashes, spray it on our produce and leftovers, clean with it, use it to make deoderant (the best i've ever had no less), and more. Just make sure it's good quality and clear as said before.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hi Dianne, Argyria (grey skin) is caused by silver nitrate/proteins. Colloidal silver is ionic silver and cannot cause Argyria. More on the science of this can be found here; http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html To answer your other question, I think very little to none ever makes it to your intestines to accomplish anything there. I use it personally by spraying my eyes, nose and ears daily. I also swish with a bit after brushing my teeth. I use it to clean fruits and veggies, and to clean my kitchen and bathroom. I add it to my pet's water as I have a cat with herpes or something, and it keeps him from getting mouth sores. Hope this helps, -Raine fluffybunnyyy wrote: Hi all, I am just a little concerned.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 It's a natural reaction with natural substances. As for using it daily I don't believe in doing this with any substance - except,of course, water. The body is not meant to have the same thing daily for extended periods. The skin turning grey from colloidal is a big myth that has been revealed for years. Scientifically it's not possible. A google search should bring up all the documentation you need Erin --- maddress wrote: > As colloidal silver is not something that I can > grow, or find in nature, I don't use it. > > Terri > " When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 There was some research done on it and it was found that like 95% of it was flushed out immediately and the rest leaves your body within 30 days I think it was. I'm sure the research is on the net...the guy that did the research drank ounces and ounces every day too just to see if it would accumulate. I can get the info if you would like on where to find the information on it. Not to mention if you are on a regular detox program that would eliminate the small percentage right away.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I love colloidal silver. I think it is wonderful. I think the artical posted that explained that the protein garbage is what really causes harmful side effects makes perfect sense. My brother (being the kind of person that he is) decided to test out colloidal silver (really ionic silver) to see if he could actually overdose. He drank a cup a day for a month and felt wonderful. Then he dropped to a more normal dosage for use. I have used it to sucessfully treat yeast infections and more. As for it not being found in nature, I am not so sure. Mineral springs running through deposits of metals have long been thought to have healing properties with differant springs (depending on their location and the minerals and metals they pick up) being used to treat differant ailments. And they do so successfully. I love the stuff personally. I have used it to cure yeast infections literally overnight.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 > The skin turning grey from colloidal is a big myth > that has been revealed for years. Scientifically it's > not possible. A Discovery Health Channel episode I watched recently featured a 50-something woman who had permanently gray skin caused by taking a silver preparation as a teenager. Granted her overdose of silver occurred about 40 years ago and there is no way we can know exactly WHAT it was she was taking or how it was prepared or what the form the silver was in......but it had devastating effects on her skin. The point is that once/IF the skin turns gray from taking anything containing silver, the condition is permanent and will never go away. Be aware....be cautious.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I suspect you are referring to Rosemary Jacobs? If so, she used a silver protein and not colloidal (ionic) silver. Why she is often offered up as an argument against CS is beyond me... -Raine seagrape1954 wrote: A Discovery Health Channel episode I watched recently featured a 50-something woman who had permanently gray skin caused by taking a silver preparation as a teenager. <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why she is often offered up > as an argument against CS is beyond me... Raine Please re-read my post. I did not state she took colloidal silver. I said I didn't know what form the silver was in and further stated the whole point of my post was " that once/IF the skin turns gray from taking anything containing silver, the condition is permanent and will never go away. Be aware....be cautious. " It was strictly a caveat that one should be fully informed and to proceed with caution. After all, this whole group is about educating ourselves so we can be in control of our own health, is it not? Debate is healthy and education is the key to everything.
