Colloidal Silver - Uses

There is a product called Colloidal Silver which has been around, it seems, forever. Like many natural products it's overshadowed by the modern miracles of the pharmaceutical companies.

Small particles that remain suspended without forming a dissolved solution is called a Colloid. A liquid suspension of microscopic particles of silver is called Colloidal Silver. This simple compound is an effective antimicrobial that is a powerful antibiotic that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi.

How Does Colloidal Silver Work?

Don't be alarmed by the picture, the blue skin tint these folks have in the picture is called Argyria. This is caused by excessive dosages of colloidal silver and is very rare indeed. There are cases where people make a "home brew" of colloidal. Not knowing exactly what to do results in a contaminated substance and potential Argyria.

CS (colloidal silver) doesn't destroy bacteria it deactivates the enzymes. This stops the bacteria from multiplying or spreading. Another interesting characteristic of colloidal silver is its fight against viruses. Many viruses mutate and become resistant to normal antibiotics, this doesn't happen with CS. Colloidal silver has properties that prevents the virus from mutating. CS then attaches to the microbe making sure it starves itself  right to extinction.

CS can be found in the category of Homeopathic Supplements.

Cs is know to kill more than 650 forms of viruses and bacteria.

You should always check with your doctor, but using low dosages of CS has never caused argyria (blue skin) and CS is easily removed from your system through urination.
