Question 1

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 2

can i use silver sulfa on a boil?

Accepted Answer

Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) ok: for burns but Bactroban (mupirocin) might be better

Question 3

can we use nano silver for ebola virus?

Accepted Answer

Ebola: Hi, there is no effective treatment to this date for Ebola although American Scientists just introduced a new experimental drug to the market recently but not sure if that's working. I'm not sure where you got the info about Nano Silver, just  wash your hands, avoid contacting with sick people body fluids, avoid contacting dead animals.

Question 4

not sure why this has been happening for the past several years but i have a strange sensitivity to the taste of metal. metal silver-wear or metal straws send shivers up my back. i taste the metal so heavily that i have to use plastic silver-wear?

Accepted Answer

: It's hard to explain this phenomenon but if I was you I would train myself to fight this sensation by tasting those everyday until so I can get used to it.

Question 5

can you use colloidal silver to effectively treat uti's?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no scientific evidence that silver helps with uris.

Question 6

are ionic hair dryers safe for every day use? read that they produce ozone as a byproduct of ionization. can't seem to find one that isnt ionic or expell nano-silver \ nano-tourmaline. are these ok to breathe long term? dryers used to be simpler lol?

Accepted Answer

Its ok: Should be fine.

Question 7

can there be a natural remedy against cold involving the use of a silver coin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: And unlike some other natural / home remedies, it doesn't work at all. However, it won't harm you. On the other hand, if the person who told you this tale then tries to sell you colloidal silver, contact your local district attorney. This is one of the most vicious health frauds of our times. Be savvy.

Question 8

do they use silver sulfadiazine for general herpes?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: This med is not used for genital herpes.   It is usually used on significant burns at risk for infection.

Question 9

how much faster does silver sulfadiazine help burns heal?  what if you don't use any of it?

Accepted Answer

Not much.: While it is the most popular treatment for burns, there are more advanced treatments that work better and faster. It often causes an eschar (scab) at the edge of burns that actually slows healing, and it is not safe in infants. Hydrocolloid dressings not only speed the healing of burns, they also relieve the pain and need changed much less often than silver sulfadiazine or antibiotic dressings.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Bottle feed: If he is only 40 days old stick with the bottle. When he is about 3-4 months you can try the spoon
