In the time before antibiotics, people did have the ability to fight some infections and prevent some diseases. Rather than turn to chemical compounds, they used natural remedies that were known for their healing and/or preventative qualities. One such remedy was colloidal silver. This product remains in popular use today and other forms of silver treatments are widely used in the medical community.

The actual dating of colloidal silver’s history entry on the curative scene is a little murky. What is clear, however, is that it was widely used in the 1800s to treat such things as colds, skin infections, disease and more. The use of silver, in fact, remains strong today. In many states, for example, a different formulation is used to protect newborns’ eyes.

So, what is colloidal silver and how does it get the job done?

Colloidal silver is a natural remedy that mixes microscopic pure silver particles with water. Once the mixture is formed, it is given a positive electrical charge to bind the two ingredients. The end result is a consumable liquid that can fight off infection, boost immune system function and even reduce stress and improve skin conditions.

In regard to germ fighting, colloidal silver works on the cellular level. When colloidal silver comes in contact with certain bugs and bacteria, it chokes out their ability to metabolize oxygen. By attacking a bug’s enzyme based respiration, colloidal silver in effect kills off the invader without harming the human involved.

Colloidal silver is a tried and tested remedy and preventative that has been in use for ages. While it does pay to make sure products purchased are of the highest quality, this agent can have very positive effects on the body.
