Question 1

what can colloidal silver be used for?

Accepted Answer

Anti-microbial: There are claims that colloidal silver is a miracle anti-microbial.  In my practice, I have not seen that.  Some patients do find that it helps with viral infections.  At times, I have suggested it be applied directly to the skin for skin infections.  I would not recommend it in place of antibiotics for serious bacterial infections.

Question 2

could colloidal silver help glocoma?

Accepted Answer

No effect: This is an ancient remedy for many things, almost all of which have been overtaken by modern medicine.  It will not influence glaucoma.

Question 3

for glaucoma and iritis ---- will colloidal silver also help?

Accepted Answer

Not that I am aware: Glaucoma and iritis are serious conditions that can be related and can be sight threatening. Treatment involves anti glaucoma meds or surgery, along with anti-inflammatory therapy.  If inflammation cannot be controlled with drops, systemic meds may be required, usually in conjunction with a rheumatologist. I am not aware of any scientific studies showing colloidal silver to be beneficial.

Question 4

can you take colloidal silver with consta invega (paliperidone)?

Colloidal Silver: Alert from the fda
the U.S. Food and drug administration (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.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: There is no one substance that "cures" the human body, no matter what that substance might be. However, if this question is not about science and medicine, ... Many have heard  ancient tales of the holy grail.

Accepted Answer

:  It will not harm you  if it was a small dose and you will not get argyria. Please  do not take it again. Do not take any meds or supplements without consulting your MD. Supplements, specially recommended by non-physicians are mostly not needed and can be harmful. You should be fine.
