How to Use Colloidal Silver to Treat Colds

Having a cold is no fun at all. You're probably looking for anything to help you recover more quickly, and you've heard something about the benefits of colloidal silver. Colloidal silver–microscopic particles of silver suspended in water–is believed by some, including Daryl Tichy, the Vice President of Research and Development of ColloidalSilver.com, to be a great immune-system booster and antibiotic remedy, and thus an excellent choice for treating colds. Note, however, that colloidal silver has not been scientifically proven to be effective, nor has been approved by the FDA.

  Repeat, anywhere from once a day up to every four hours, depending on the severity of your cold symptoms. You can continue to take colloidal silver in smaller doses (one teaspoon a day) as a supplement after symptoms have been relieved, or discontinue use as desired.
