"Collidal Silver is a natural antibotic...you can purchase at your health food store. Take 2 ounces a day, no anthrax can survive."

If you want silver skin. Click on the picture.

Thanks! I was going to reply to that quackery. Colloidal silver's benefits are pure BS and it is extremely cumulative.

Trouble is that gal never took colloidal silver. She was given silver salts of some sort years ago(very large particle size). I've taken ionic CS for 5 years now and would never be without it.

Unfortunately there has been a lot of misguided information going around about colloidal silver. So let's cover a few things.

Have you heard the story about how colloidal silver allegedly turns people blue? If not, you probably will, so here is some good information which will enable you to form an educated perspective.

Where are the blue people, if it were true that people turn blue from too much or improperly formulated colloidal silver? where are the documented cases? For many years now, literally millions of people have been using colloidal silver daily, don't you think the result of their turning blue would by now have become a big issue? As it stands there are only a few detractors making big efforts to site a case or two from the past, what they neglect to make clear is that these cases involve "Silver Nitrate: or other similar compounds and not colloidal silver produced through current technology.

In order for particles to become lodged within tissue the particles would have to be larger than the bodies transport system, and other tissue components. "The capillary lumen of the human body is 4-9 microns." Much larger than colloidal silver particles.

The term Argyria describes the condition of a bluish gray color of the skin, and Argyosis the bluing of the eye white, resulting from the use of SILVER COMPOUNDS. To better understand the misunderstanding regarding Argyria, I will quote from the book "the Micro Silver bullet™" by Dr. M. Paul Farber 1996 page XII (ISBN 1-887742-00-X)

In reference to a "Journal of American Medical Association article, October 18 1995, volume 274 # 15," where cases of Argyria were cited to have been caused by silver compounds (not colloidal silver)

"These Case history presentations represent biased and unprofessional writing. The author's apparent inability to understand the difference between a silver nitrate, sulfide, or other silver compound demonstrates their lack of understanding basic chemical properties. The matrix, substrate, and particle size are all critical to the varied functions and reactions with use of these products."

Further on the same page.

"That is why there has not been a single case of Argyria from a properly manufactured modern day colloidal sliver product. The cases of Argyria reported in the 1920's and 1930's resulted because the technology of the day was unable to produce a colloidal silver product with a small enough particle size." Ref. (4-A)

The reported cases of Argyria usually involve very high and frequent doses of silver salts/compounds such as Silver sulfate, silver nitrate or silver chloride.

More than you ever wanted to know about blue skin.

I had heard about the color change, they said that's why rich people long ago were called "blue bloods". The silver content of their bodies was high from eating and drinking foods from silver utensils and food stored in silver containers.

Personally I made my own colloidal silver, it was 10ppm which is supposed to be enough for protection from viruses. What I made would last about one week then the silver would fall out of the distilled water. I was taking 2 ounces three times a day for months, before the colloidal silver would fall out, I would drink 8 ounces at a time easy. My color never changed. I don't know what this woman did with her nose drops or what the ppm's were, but it looks like a serious case of drug abuse.
