Question 1

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.

Question 2

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 3

is colloidal silver bad if used over long term?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is one of the worst health frauds of modern times. It's worthless for your health, you will end up turning yourself or whoever your force to take it permanently blue, and there has been at least one very ugly death from massive brain damage. The photo shows two people who were foolish enough to believe the claims made for colloidal silver.

Question 4

should i use nano or atom-sized colloidal silver?

Accepted Answer

Nano: You cannot really get colloidal silver to the atom size so there is no option.  Nano will suffice.

Question 5

how long does colloidal silver take to clean toxins from your system and what dosage should one take when using silver in this way?

Accepted Answer

Colloidal Silver: I feel that colloidal silver is dangerous and should not be used.  It does have antibacterial properties but is not safe for human consumption.  It builds up in the tissues and can cause toxicity.  I know of one gentleman who took this for years and is literally silver in complexion now and looks like he is unable to get any oxygen into his body.

Question 9

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 10
