Colloidal Silver Sinus Treatment

Sinusitis or sinus infection is an ailment afflicting the paranasal sinuses and is caused by fungi, viruses or different allergens. Colloidal silver, a liquid suspension of microscopic silver particles, has been known to help sinus infections as an alternative medicine.

Symptoms

• Typical symptoms of a sinus infection include headache, nasal congestion and discharge, and throbbing in the area around the eyes; less common symptoms include coughing, toothache and halitosis.

Treatment

• Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic designated as a supplement, rather than as a medicine, by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Colloidal silver can be used to treat sinus infections because the substance is known to act equally well on infections caused by either fungi or viruses.

Types

• Some types of colloidal silver treatments are more potent as natural antibiotics than others. The best results are generally seen when using true colloidal silver.

How it Works

• True colloidal silver is characterized by tiny particle sizes and a low ionic silver concentration. The silver content in true colloidal silver has an oligodynamic effect on pathogens, rendering them incapable of further harm to the body.

Risks

• Extended use of colloidal silver has been linked to a rare but incurable disease called argyria in which the skin turns a blue-green shade. Argyria does not increase mortality or complicate other diseases, but sufferers may be heavily discriminated against by society.
