If it aint your time to go, I dont care what the world or the devil throws...
“Science” means nothing to me.
colloidal silver..lol
100 years from now it will be found that the silver resistant bacteria can only be stopped by the saliva of those afflicted with lycanthropy, but then it will be too late.

I had a series of wicked spider bites, and after removing the necrotic tissue, they still felt like someone putting cigarettes out on my skin. Curad makes a silver chloride ointment which was the only thing which would stop the pain—an immediate cooling effect. The bites took three months to heal over, and that ointment was my main source of relief. I alternated the silver chloride ointment with triple antibiotic at dressing changes. They never became infected.
They still can’t get it right.
It is the impurities that cause the Argyria, and you have to consume mass quantities to cause it.
If you make your own. Use .9999 pure silver wire, attach the wires outside the glass, keep the voltage and amperage low(3-9V batteries) use only distiled water and filter the precipitates out before you take it. The smallest suspended particles are what you want.
I prefer to buy it in a lab produced, protein concentrate, that can be mixed into juice.
OK, now continue with the inevitable, ignorant, pictures of blue, gray, and green idiots that would OD on water if you told them to drink at least 4 glasses a day.
Old idea. 40 years ago we used to use silver nitrate on burns: but it did make a mess (turned everything black). Now we use Silvadene instead.
The problem is that you can’t just drink it and expect it to work.
And if you take too much of it, your skin turns grey (not dangerous, but ugly).
It’s not just silver. Certainly gold, but it’s cost prohibitive. Even copper to an extent. The known antimicrobial benefit of certain metals is more often environmental or topical rather than internal (via ingestion), though.
There are all manner of natural antimicrobials. Salt is a great one. Most of your typical kitchen spice rack. Vinegar. Sugar. Honey. Top of the organic heap would be garlic in various forms, fresh and especially oils.
Then there are various other essential oils used topically. Oil of oregano is powerful. So is melaleuca oil, otherwise known as tea tree oil.
Good old chlorine bleach is greatly underrated as an environmental antimicrobial also.
You’ve got them at your disposal, it’s just that few have been taught to view them in that manner let alone use them for this purpose. The time may be coming that they’re all you have.

Makes me wonder what miraculous healing effects gold can have on the human body. There's a reason gold has been so valued for thousands of years. What could be more valuable than a fountain of youth, or a cure for everything?
