You missed the point dork.

Colloidal silver is a good, natural antibacterial/antibiotic that does
not have the side effects of allopathic preparations...

My housemate is currently making it. I intend to experiment with it for
topical use in an acne control cream.

No, it has different side effects. But it has them.

However, the proponents seem incapable of distinguishing between the
use of silver topically vs taking it internally.

Argyria only occurs if you are stupid enough to mis-use it.
It's best used ONLY when you are ill and not as a routine supplement.
Colloidal silver nasal sprays seem to be linked to this problem
more than any other form. I don't see how using it daily this way can
possibly be of any benefit. :-P

See above.
Granted, topical use is safer, but judicious internal use DURING ILLNESS
is also practical if caution is used.

AFAIK tho', it's not generally toxic like some antibiotics (such as
aminoglycocides) are. It also does not seem to do as much damage to
intestinal flora balance.

Anything, if mis-used, can mess with you.
The trick is to educate yourself and pay attention.

Even herbs, vitamins and basic necessities can be deadly if abused.

Water is a good example. ;-)

Of course, exactly how it's used correctly is a mystery, because
commercial colloidal silver products varied so widely in silver
content. (Some of the manufacturers were economizing by not bothering
to include any actual silver in their products.)

So you say. But that's not what everyone says. How do I know the
truth?

Why not? You're trying to kill cold viruses, strep, etc, that are
attempting to make their homes in your mucous membranes. Seems
perfectly in keeping with the general approach to me.

You may be an exception, but you ARE an exception.

I'm less concerned with "practical" and more concerned with
"effective." I know of no clinical evidence for the latter, just a
bunch of testimonials. I place little reliance on testimonials.

Then maybe it doesn't do anything at all.

That's why I think we need to outlaw dihydrogen monoxide.

The silver/gray pigmentation is not reversable.

Who says I said I was an exception?
All I know is that it shortens the duration of illnesses if I use it.

Anecdotal, but at this point there are no controlled studies that I am
aware of, but I've not done any extensive googling to be sure.
I'm not all knowing and don't claim to be.

I go the other way.
Many "studies" are flawed and skewed.
Look what happened with Vioxx?

Sometimes, with non-drug company pushed items,
anecdotals are all you are going to get!

Try it and see if it works for you.

I'm convinced. ;-)

Be your own guinea pig, or be a slave to corporate greed.

Like I said, try it and see.

I've no idea where manufacturers get off charging what they do!

I suppose I should do that right after I build my own analytical

And there isn't any good research on taking colloidal silver

I'll skip taking it for now.

I know that. That's why I see no reason to use colloidal siler at
all. It can turn me gray even without my swallowing any.

There are no controlled studies, you are correct. And it's anecdotal,
all right.

What about it? Vioxx works quite well as a painkiller -- it just has
those nasty cardiac side effects. With silver, I don't even have any
studies telling me it works, never mind the side effects.

And if the CS doesn't work, or harms me, can I sue you?

That puts you way ahead of most of the population.

Yes, I'm the salt of the earth.

Nah.
You use fine silver and deionized water like you are supposed to and all
you will have is ionized silver in the mix.

All you need to measure it is an inexpensive TS meter that will give you
a PPM reading. That way you will know the strength and how much to use.

It's okay! To each their own.
I've found that it does indeed shorten the duration of a head cold,
rather drastically if I catch it soon enough. I never use the stuff
unless I am ill, or headed in that direction.

Also makes a GREAT topical pimple or boil treatment.

Oh, and by the way, there HAVE been studies on colloidal silver.
Google is great:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...on+colloidal+s
ilver

It's less likely to turn you gray if you swallow it, or use it
topically. For some reason (I'm not sure why) most cases of silver
pigment deposits in the skin are linked to nasal sprays.

And chronic, regular, long term use.
Which is not necessary...

Yes, there are.
Follow the link above.

But silver won't kill you like Vioxx does. ;-)

You are a big boy.
Unless I sell it to you or pour it down your throat,
no. I have no liability.

Yeah, I gathered that.
Scary isn't it?

Just don't add it to your coffee. ;-)

And dilute your sodium hypochlorite prior to using it in the laundry...

Cheers!
