Question: I’ve heard people talking about colloidal silver and hailing it as a wonder product, can you tell me more and what I can use it for?

Answer: Colloidal silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections.

It has been reported to kill 650 micro-organisms, many of which are associated with human diseases. This does not automatically mean that taking colloidal silver will cure disease as colloidal silver only kills micro-organisms when they are in contact with it for a sufficient period of time.

Colloidal silver is painless on abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for a stuffy nose and, unlike some antiseptics, it does not destroy tissue cells.

It's excellent as an underarm deodorant, since most underarm odour is caused by bacteria breaking down substances released by the sweat glands!

Also, colloidal silver can be applied directly on a bandage for warts. It can be applied on eczema, itches, acne or bug bites. To purify water, add one tablespoon per gallon, shake well and wait six minutes. Mixed this way, it's tasteless. It is not an allopathic poison.

Here’s how it works…

Acting as a catalyst, colloidal silver reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food.

It can be applied either topically to cuts and scrapes, or taken internally to treat a range of things from diarrhoea to throat infections.
