What is colloidal silver?
Wikipedia defines Colloidal silver as “a liquid suspension of microscopic particles of silver. A colloid is technically defined as particles which remain suspended without forming an ionic, or dissolved solution. The broader commercial definition of “colloidal silver” includes products that contain various concentrations of ionic silver, silver colloids, ionic silver compounds or silver proteins in purified water. Colloidal silver with concentrations of 30 parts per million (ppm) or less are typically manufactured using an electrolysis process, whereas colloidal silver with higher concentrations of 50 ppm or more are usually silver compounds that have been bound with a protein.
Currently, colloidal silver is marketed for internal and external use as an alternative medical remedy, though there is no scientific evidence of its effectiveness in vivo for any medical condition.[1] Excessive use can result in argyria, a form of silver toxicity.”
The question that I am wanting some input on is, “Do you think that colloidal silver is a natural remedy?”
In the natural organic whole foods community, colloidal silver seems to have a good reputation. For good reason as I have used colloidal silver internally myself with great effectiveness against common cold and flu ailments. I have also seen colloidal silver work wonders on cucumber plants without chemical herbicides.
Colloidal silver certainly is not a food. It is not an essential mineral, but it certainly is natural. So let me know what your thoughts are below about colloidal silver and it’s application to the natural organic whole foods lifestyle.
To your Health,

It is a crime that the powers that be are doing everything possible to discredit this substance. It has been proven, personally and anecdotally, to stop viruses like cold and flu. without resorting to expensive and often harmful prescription medicines. Used properly it causes no physical harm. That cannot be said about many of the commonly available and highly promoted drugs.
Actually, Warren, silver is likely an essential trace mineral – since recent studies in Hungary have found specific silver receptors on human nerve tissue. In fact, the more we research, the more we find that virtually all minerals have roles to play for maximum health. We have developed for eons alongside those minerals, as we have vitamins and other vital nutrients.
When it comes to silver, it has been in our seas, rivers, lakes, ponds and streams, as well as in our soils, since man first put down footprints eons ago. Soil micro-organisms break down all minerals into tiny bioavailable particles that are taken up by plants and then consumed by animals (some of which are in turn consumed by other animals). In that sense, the nano-sized particles of silver you find in good colloidal silver products may be very much like what is found in plants and in our waters – and aquatic life also contains silver.
How it applies to a natural lifestyle is quite simple – it is the best pathogen destroyer on the planet! And it works on everything from colds and flu, to Crohns. Lyme disease, candida, topical infections of all kinds, including MRSA and much, much more.
NASA uses nano-silver to purify water for the space station, the Hong Kong subway system uses colloidal silver to prevent the spread of infection and Potters for Peace use colloidal silver coatings on their water filters for underdeveloped countries.
The English edition of Pravda recently ran an article about colloidal silver beating the Swine Flu. You can find it and more about colloidal silver at:
