Dosing with collodial silver

[Mosey2003]

Colloidal silver scares me. You can overdose on it and turn yourself blue permanently. I have seen no true, scientific research that it has any greater benefit than any other medication available.

My understanding and research says that the overdose quanities would have to be severely high dosages. The blue men were drinking gallons a day and ended up blue.

I think many people will be against using it, and many will be for it. That's the result of people having the ability to think for themselves. Being responsible chicken owners, that is what we are supposed to do - research, weigh up pro's and cons and make informed decisions!! I know I would be grateful to you if you would update this post if you decide to use it and let us know how it goes please? I think that is a large part of what a good forum like this is for, informing us both through official researched findings and our own experiences as back yard chicken owners. Whether you decide to use it or not, best of luck to you.

Thank you! I will definitely update if i do decide to use it. It seems to be a very new concept, so maybe my post was futile. So, if I have success or failures, I'll be sure to inform everyone for further analysis. I love this forum a lot! So much useful info and advice.

I encourage anyone else with stories or info to comment as well! I am still interested to see if anyone here has had success (or failure) with its use!

I would not use colloidal silver. For anything.

We have real treatments for what ails our birds.

Like what?

Can I ask what it is you are thinking of treating with collodial silver? Just curious!

I've heard for immunity if they're unwell and /or maimed.
