colloidal silver question with another update

[Petitebird]

I appreciate your replies and respect your opinion but must also stand on my soap box. I have read several studies that leads to the contrary. One in particular was done at Brigham Young University. This study tested the effectiveness against antibiotics ( Tetracyclines, flourinated quinolones (ofloxacin), the peniciliins, the cephalosporins and the macrolides (Erythromycin). Both antibiotics and the silver were tested on many differents microorganisms, including streptococcuses, E. coli, salmonella, shigella and many more. The study concludes that the silver exhibits an EQUAL or even broader spectrum effectiveness against said microorganisms. THe study even went as far as to say that with the LOW TOXICITY of silver that it may be effectively used as an alternative to antibiotics. It can treat both gram positive and gram negative organisms.

The UCLA School of Medicine has stated that "there is no known disease-causing organism that can live in the presence of even minute traces of simple metallic silver. Based on lab tests, destructive bacteria, virus, and fungus are killed within minutes of contact".

I also know that in the news lately there has been people with the ashen blue skin caused from the colloidal silver. This is caused by the microns being to high and not useable in the body. I use the silver between .001 - .002 microns (when needed and not daily) and have NO ill effects. In fact it has helped with an absessed tooth, warts, ear infections and for me personally, Shingles. This is one thing that really helps me prevent another onslaught of that nasty virus.

I hope this gives you all something to think about. With the right microns and taken in the right way Colloidal Silver is safe and effective.

I will now step down off of my soap box.

Hope you are still hanging on in this group. When you use it for ear infections, how much do you give it, topical or oral?
