“Cannabidiol oil nostrum is right up there with colloidal silver.”
Colloidal silver was the most effective oral antibiotic we had, before penicillin. It is way better supported with hard data than CBD.
Quoting Mayo Clinic, here:
"Colloidal silver isn't considered safe or effective for any of the health claims manufacturers make. Silver has no known purpose in the body.
Manufacturers of colloidal silver products often claim that they are cure-alls, boosting your immune system, fighting bacteria and viruses, and treating cancer, HIV/AIDS, shingles, herpes, eye ailments and prostatitis.
However, no sound scientific studies to evaluate these health claims have been published in reputable medical journals. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has taken action against some manufacturers of colloidal silver products for making unproven health claims.
It's not clear how much colloidal silver may be harmful, but it can build up in your body's tissues over months or years. Most commonly, this results in argyria (ahr-JIR-e-uh), a blue-gray discoloration of your skin, eyes, internal organs, nails and gums. While argyria doesn't usually pose a serious health problem, it can be a cosmetic concern because it doesn't go away when you stop taking silver products. "
Yeah, permanently blue skin is certainly MY favorite side effect.
