Colloidal silver. Kills it dead

I don’t know about colloidal silver, but there is certainly dispute about risk vs. benefit:

“Colloidal silver. Kills it dead”

True-over-Power:

Your “pings until the world wakes up” are spreading unfounded and unsafe wives tales that at the very least can turn someone’s skin permanently blue-gray (google “argyria” images if you doubt me) and at the worst can be fatal....at least according to the CDC, the World Health Organization and the NIH:

https://nccih.nih.gov/health/silver

T-over-Power: I’ll take “too much of a good thing” category for $1000, Alex.

Alex: The answer is...... “A permanent blue-gray discoloration of the skin caused by excess exposure to silver or silver salts that are applied on your skin, inhaled or eaten...”

T-over-P: Oh, Alex, I know, I know.....”what is argyria?”

Alex: and for the daily double, T-over-P, the answer is......”this results from eating or inhaling things like silver, iron ore, lead paint or mercury.”

T-over-P: Got this one, too, Alex...”what is death from heavy metal poisoning?”

Jeopardy and big government aside......

Claims stating that OTC silver medical preparations in any form are “safe and effective” have been banned by the FDA since 1999. Read the fine print on your colloidal silver package, let me know what you see there.

And just FTR, I’ve been an Infectious Disease RN for nearly 27 years. Since 1967, the FDA approved gold standard of safe and effective treatment of Lyme Disease has been Doxycycline, at an average cost of $0.84/pill. Without further research, I will reserve judgement on the LivLym Foundation in the OP, but I might possibly smell a wee bit of BS.

(pondering) I suppose one could say silver is a medical marvel and an effective treatment for Lyme disease (or any other illness) in that the resulting heavy metal poisoning will kill you, but that seems to be on about the same level of intelligence as saying cutting your head off will cure a brain tumor. /s

I was under the impression was that the main danger from Lyme Disease was not that it was difficult to treat, but that people often don’t know they have it because the disease mimics so many other things that by the time it is diagnosed, damage may be already done.

Granted they have a test for it that isn’t perfect, but I believe they don’t use the test unless you have a history of having been bitten by a tick, or a characteristic circular skin lesion, so a lot of people go undiagnosed.

Not always. Our family uses colloidal silver for many things, but I got Lyme Disease when living in a wooded area 20 miles from Lyme in 1997. Nearly one-quarter of my small town had gotten it. My landlady and family friend had gotten it, and tried natural remedies at first, and they didn't work. Only then did she go to the anti-biotics. They worked (as they did for me), and quickly. Antibiotics are way over-prescribed, but for Lyme, they are an effective wwepaon. CATCH IT EARLY, and you can likely beat it like Mrs. G and I did.

the type of infection is relevant. as long as the spirochete has not crossed the blood brain/spine barrier doxy works fine. Colloidal silver is not going to help neuro lyme. The only treatment i’m aware of is daily antibiotic treatments for years. The individual will still be profoundly disabled, arthritis.
