Don’t be surprised if you have never heard of something called colloidal silver. Not many people are familiar with the product commonly used until the 1930s. In fact, there are few of us who remember their grandparents talking about placing silver dollars in milk jugs to prolong its freshness at room temperature
Colloidal silver used to be the ‘treat all’ element of choice back in the day, for a variety of reasons. The term ‘colloidal’ refers to ultra fine particles found in many of the body’s fluids, especially blood. Physicians used to treat many illnesses and conditions with this substance, using it as an antibiotic treatment that was considered one of the most modern of its era. Because of the cost of creating the product however, colloidal research was abandoned in favor of more lucrative drugs and medications
Silver is one of the most basic elements known to man. Available as a nutritional supplement, it has long been used as an exceptional antibiotic for use against many different types of viruses, bacteria and funguses. Colloidal silver is not harmful to body systems or organs and promotes healing by acting as a catalyst on the metabolism of oxygen within living organisms. Because of its natural components, it does not interact with other medicines or herbal supplements that have been developed and used for hundreds, even thousands of years. The chemical nature and properties of silver don’t affect other enzymes, proteins or other components of bodily tissues to cause harmful side effects or symptoms.
Colloidal silver can be used topically or orally, and is ingested by those suffering from a variety of illnesses caused by invisible germs and bacteria, as well as injuries to body tissues resulting from burns or infection. A teaspoon is considered to be an adequate daily amount, and has been proven safe to use for extended periods of time, though higher doses should be taken on a short-term basis only. Use of colloidal silver doesn’t harm or destroy body tissues cells, and provides long-term immune benefits after being ingested for a period of four to six weeks.
Today’s busy people want fast acting and effective products that will help keep illnesses at bay, and the resurgence of colloidal silver in that regard is fast gaining popularity among users around the country. It’s not surprising that our grandparents, and theirs, understood and accepted the effectiveness of such an all around product, and kept supplies of colloidal silver on hand to treat not only human illnesses, but for a variety of other uses as well.
