How to Heal With Colloidal Silver

Since ancient times, healers have extolled silver's antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Today, silver is often woven into bandages (to speed the healing of wounds) and into clothing (to prevent the growth of smelly bacteria). Colloidal silver (particles delivered in a liquid), can be ingested as well as applied topically, and it's the form most often prescribed by alternative medicine practitioners.
Controversy surrounds the use of collodial silver as a supplement. Proponents believe its potential applications (including treatment major illnesses like diabetes, and slowing the onset of AIDS) are largely underutilized. The FDA, on the other hand, has banned collodial silver in over-the-counter drugs and severely restricted the claims even online companies can make regarding its efficacy as a treatment or dietary supplement.

Instructions

  Use it to treat sinus infections. Though the FDA has not approved use of colloidal silver as a treatment for sinusitis, and no reputable studies support the efficacy of this treatment, anecdotal evidence on sites like silversinus.com suggests the treatment might work. Using a misting sprayer with colloidal silver three to five times daily could help reduce the symptoms of a sinus infection.

  Use it as a topical antiseptic. Apply colloidal nano-silver directly to the skin to kill fungal infections and foster healing of burns, cuts, rashes and mouth sores. Certain brands of colloidal silver are even recommended for use as eye drops.

  Use it as a household disinfectant. Colloidal silver is available in spray containers for application to clothes, air filters, vents and other places where germs can grow.
