Two state attorneys general ordered a prominent televangelist to stop peddling an alleged coronavirus elixir on his show.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Jim Bakker for misrepresentations about the effectiveness of "Silver Solution" as a treatment for coronavirus. Schmitt's lawsuit came a week after the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a cease-and-desist order to Bakker, ordering him to stop promoting the supplement as a COVID-19 treatment.

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Remember when Tammy cried on TV and her makeup would run down her face ?

“Please give whatever you can to stop Tammy from crying”

Lots of evidence that colloidal silver DOES kill viruses on contact.

https://draxe.com/nutrition/colloidal-silver-benefits/

One guy who discusses it with reasonable evidence.

Bakker may be pushing a bad version for internal use, but electrolytically derived colloidal silver is effective.

Silver treated socks are used for post surgical infection prevention. Worked for me.

Like a lot of things it’s being touted for applications that it’s marginal for, but the attorneys haven’t got a clue what those are. And most modern MDs don’t either because they were not taught about it.

The NIH paper is maybe a little more authoritative, but nobody who understands the biology of it denies that it’s ineffective:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4955599/

Bakker is at most guilty of overpromotion.

Hell, Charlie Manson still has fans, aka, a cult here in Californicator land.

Joe Biden is another example: “Man with Dead Brain winning primaries!”

Colloidal silver is a scam. Silver solutions are used externally for burn treatment. One wouldn’t take “colloidal mercury” just because some quack said to

When we lived near Akron, my wife worked in the schools as a speech and hearing teacher. The kids who stopped by Ernie’s place on the weekend would come in on Monday without their hearing aids and but still be deaf.

My idiot brother in law was guzzling that stuff when he had pneumonia (instead of going to a doctor) and almost died.

Great most some more non medical sources for us

This is almost as bad for you internally as taking “colloidal mercury”. Silver is a heavy metal. Solutions of silver are used EXTERNALLY in severe burn cases

That point is addressed and debunked as well. It’s a matter of concentration and dosage.

One medical paper was posted, and it supports much of the “non medical” assertions. Do you disagree with NIH?
