Colloidal Silver General Information

Colloidal Silver is a tasteless, odourless, non-toxic, natural substance consisting of sub-microscopic clusters of silver particles, suspended by a tiny electrical charge.

Prior to 1938, Colloidal Silver was used by physicians as an Antibiotic and was considered leading edge treatment. But the cost of production was high and eventually drug companies cornered the market with the introduction of ‘antibiotics’ – now the traditional drug of choice for almost every illness today.

Colloidal Silver has been documented as having a wide variety of applications, from Acne, Burns, Dermatitis to Shingles, Warts and Yeast Infections (Candida).

IRIS report on Silver  IRIS is a database of human health effects that may result from exposure to various substances found in the environment. This link takes you to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its Office of Research and Development, National Center for Environmental Assessment.  The IRIS Report is the most extensive report on silver we have found. It is very long and basically concludes that silver does not cause cancer in humans and the only time silver can have any toxic effects at all is when you mix it with other elements to form silver salts such as silver nitrate or silver acetate. Even then, long term exposure s required and the condition is cosmetic in nature with no harmful effects reported.

We suggest the reader consults a qualified health practitioner if they have any concerns before deciding to use Colloidal Silver.
