Silver is a metallic element that was used in ancient times to create industrial products such as jewelry, electronic equipment, silver kitchenware, photographic processing, dental fillings and as a water purifier.
Today, people are aware that silver is used in their everyday living, but many are not aware that this metal component is also used for medicinal purposes. Centuries ago, silver was found to have medicinal uses. Silver elements are still integrated into some contemporary prescription drugs, although modern and less toxic drugs have eliminated most of them.
One silver element that is still used for modern drug prescriptions is colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is still a mainstay for some antibiotic treatment. It was seventy years ago when colloidal silver was found to be effective in germ fighting and was widely used against all fungi, bacteria, parasites protozoa and certain virus species.
Colloidal silver got its name from ‘colloid.' It is a kind of silver that consists of ultramicroscopic particles ranging from 0.004 to 0.015 microns in diameter. These are ultra-fine particles that no human naked eye can visibly see. These particles are used to concoct colloidal silver products by suspending them in a liquid base.
Colloidal silver products are being marketed as a powerful wide spectrum antibiotic drug. These purportedly heal various types of infections such as ear, mouth septic conditions, eye inflammation, gum disease and conjunctivitis.
Moreover, according to recent claims, colloidal silver products have the silver healing component for mental and nervous, movement disorders. Inflammatory heart disease, liver and spleen disorders, hyperactivity of the gall bladder, chronic fever, profuse menstrual bleeding and inflammatory conditions of the intestines are likewise said to benefit from the ingestion of colloidal silver.
While it has been proven effective for some time, there are critic reviews concluding that colloidal silver products have some serious negative effects on the human body. They further state that these products have deceptively marketed various unproven health-related benefits. Therefore, if you are considering colloidal silver products, make sure to consult with your physician.
