Question 1

hello dr. pasniciuc, i have a question on the best way to treat ibs and gastroparesis?

Accepted Answer

IBS/ gastroparesis: IBS, irritable bowel syndrome and gastroparesis are rather poorly understood conditions. The approach is usually multidisciplinary and I would advise involving early a gastroenterologist at a tertiary center in order to confirm the diagnosis and to start a therapeutic trial. Starting a food log along with symptoms log will help anywhere along the way.

Question 2

does silver solution really work?

Work??: Silver has been used for an antibiotic long ago but it is mostly used now for wealth.   If your buying silver solution your contributing to someones wealth but not likely to your own health.  Silver (and gold) can be toxic as well.  Grandma always said "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is".  Stick with fda proven treatments not snake oils from yesteryear.

Question 10

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.
