How Silver Colloid Heals Infections

 

From neonatal eye infections to conjunctivitis, colloidal silver is used to treat a host of eye problems in kids and adults. It is also effective in relieving itchiness and redness of the eyes and treating infection due to dry eyes, S taphyloccocus aureus infection (stye).

Tip: You can put a few drops of colloidal silver directly into the eye, 2-3 times a day to get rid of conjunctivitis.

 Many Ayurveda experts recommend ingestion of colloidal silver to maintain a healthy digestive system. Silver has a natural ability to maximise nutrient supply to the body by extracting them efficiently from food. Further, it makes the gut environment absolutely non-conducive for the growth of infectious organisms and parasites. It also halts the process of fermentation of food in the stomach, which otherwise gives rise to unpleasant symptoms like gas, reflux, bloating and stomach ache.

Tip: Silver in small amounts can be ingested along with meals to get rid of the post-meal indigestion.

 Silver is thought to be effective in preventing progression of viral flu, by killing the virus immediately. If you develop throat infection along with cold and cough, colloidal silver supplement solution can help you recover.

Tip: Mix 3-4 drops of colloidal silver to a glass of water. Gargle several times to lower throat problems.

Thought to be helpful for cancer and AIDS: The use of colloidal silver in treatment of HIV/AIDS is still debatable but according to medical scriptures, silver does play a role in extending survival in AIDS patients to some extent. As far as cancer treatment is concerned, silver particles are touted to regulate the rate of division of cancerous cells, gradually bringing it back to normal.

Side-effects and precautions:

The fact that no study has ever assured safety with colloidal silver use is what raises concerns about its application in daily health practises. There are studies supporting that colloidal silver acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, working  against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria but the benefits bring along some significant risks.

Low dose of colloidal silver is safe to use and causes low toxicity but chronic inhalation through nebulisation or ingestion of silver preparations can cause deposition of the metal in the skin and eye tissues, muscle, brain, spleen and liver. It can cause bluish discoloration of the skin (argyria). Use of colloidal silver in pregnant and breastfeeding women has been linked to abnormal fetal development, leading to defects in infant physical features.
