Heretic121 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Are you saying bullshit this didn't happen? Or bullshit colloidal silver hasn't been effectively tested to confirm it can fight disease? No, I think she's saying that your source isn't exactly good. That, and that colloidal silver is more likely to hurt you than heal you. Quote
SinfulRaevyn Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Both are right ^.^. Source isn't good and colloidal silver hasn't been tested enough to prove it fights disease. Things like this are made to scam people out of their money. :/ Quote
Heretic121 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I'm not a believer in alternative medicine and, like the good lady said, I believe, more often than not, it's there to scam people out of money. 1 Quote

SinfulRaevyn Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Actually it's healty for you and yes it works against deseases, checkup reviews about it on serveral websites. But i'm not sure about Ebola. This is exactly what I mean... COLLOIDAL SILVER USES & EFFECTIVENESS What is this? Insufficient Evidence for: Ear infections. Emphysema. Bronchitis. Fungal infections. Lyme disease. Rosacea. Sinus infections. Stomach ulcers. Yeast infections. Chronic fatigue syndrome. HIV/AIDS. Tuberculosis. Food poisoning. Gum disease. Digestion. Preventing flu and colds. Other conditions. More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of colloidal silver for these uses. Colloidal silver is LIKELY UNSAFE for use. The silver in colloidal silver products gets deposited in vital organs such as the skin, liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, and brain. This can lead to an irreversible bluish skin discoloration that first appears in the gums. It can also stimulate melanin production in skin, and areas exposed to the sun will become increasingly discolored. Special Precautions & Warnings: Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Colloidal silver is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth, applied to the skin or injected intravenously. Increased silver levels in pregnant women have been linked to abnormal development of the ear, face, and neck in their babies. Colloidal silver supplements can also lead to silver accumulation in the body, which can lead to an irreversible bluish skin discoloration known as argyria. Silver can also be deposited in vital organs, where it does serious damage. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-779-colloidal%20silver.aspx?activeingredientid=779&activeingredientname=colloidal%20silver And this... Key Points Colloidal silver is not safe or effective for treating any disease or condition. Colloidal silver can cause serious side effects. The most common is argyria, a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin, which is usually not treatable or reversible. The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission have taken action against a number of companies (including some companies that sell products over the Internet) for making drug-like claims about colloidal silver products. Tell all your health care providers about any complementary health practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care. Top Background Silver is a metallic element. People are exposed to silver, usually in tiny amounts, through air, water, and food, and in certain activities such as jewelry-making, soldering, or developing film. In 1999, the FDA prohibited the sale of over-the-counter drugs containing colloidal silver or silver salts because they had not been shown to be safe and effective. However, colloidal silver products are still being sold as dietary supplements or homeopathic remedies. Consumers should be aware that unlike some homeopathic remedies, which are often so diluted that none of the original substance is present, some colloidal silver products marketed as homeopathic may not be extremely diluted. A few prescription drugs containing silver are still in use; for example, silver sulfadiazine is a cream that is applied to burns. However, of the few prescription drugs containing silver, all are for topical use; there are no FDA-approved prescription or over-the-counter drugs containing silver that are taken orally. Top Scientific Evidence Reviews of the scientific literature on colloidal silver have concluded that: Silver has no known function in the body. Silver is not a nutritionally essential mineral or a cure-all and should not be promoted as such. Claims that there can be a “deficiency” of silver in the body and that such a deficiency can lead to disease are unfounded. Claims made about the effectiveness of colloidal silver for numerous diseases are unsupported scientifically. Colloidal silver can have serious side effects. Top Side Effects and Risks Silver builds up in the tissues of the body. This buildup of silver can lead to a side effect called argyria, a grayish or bluish discoloration of the skin, conjunctiva (the clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye), nails, and gums. In 2009, the FDA issued a warning to consumers about the risk of argyria associated with the use of dietary supplements containing silver, including colloidal silver. Argyria is usually permanent and may discolor large portions of the body, especially those exposed to the sun. Attempts to reverse the discoloration have usually been unsuccessful, except in instances where only small areas of skin needed to be treated. Argyria has occurred in people who drank homemade colloidal silver liquids as well as in people who used commercial colloidal silver products. Although argyria is the most common adverse effect of consuming colloidal silver, some cases have been reported where colloidal silver may have caused kidney, liver, or nervous system problems. Colloidal silver may interfere with the body’s absorption of some drugs, such as certain antibiotics, thyroxine (used to treat thyroid disorders), and penicillamine (used to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and metal poisoning). Top If You Are Thinking About Using Colloidal Silver There is no scientific evidence for effectiveness and a severe risk for serious side effects from colloidal silver. The FDA does not consider colloidal silver to be safe or effective for treating any disease or condition and has issued an advisory regarding its safety. Complementary products or practices that have not been proven safe and effective, such as colloidal silver, should never be used as a replacement for conventional medical care or as a reason to postpone seeing a health care provider about a medical problem. Tell all your health care providers about any complementary health approaches you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

=Death Hunter= Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 Don't do drugs unless it says RX! Quote
=Death Hunter= Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 My concern lies more with government influence than with the benefits or lack there of in colloidal silver. Quote
