Colloidal Silver for Viral Ear Infection - Is it safe?

Question

Hi guys. I have done extensive research in colloidal silver but am so confused becuase so many sites say different things. Commonly, it says if you take this daily for many years, you will turn blue (argyria). Another says you HAVE to take it daily otherwise infection returns due to silver deficiency in your body, etc etc etc!

But i want to know does anyone know where to get a True Colloidal Silver or Ionic Silver Drops for ears to cure a viral inner ear infection that causes dizziness almost everyday consistency.

Also, what is PPM? Is the less the ppm the better or more the better?

I got this extract from a site, is it safe?

"Sovereign silver is a uniquely refined mineral product of the highest purity and consistency. It is the most dynamic form of supplemental trace silver available. Particle size is 0.0006 to 0.003 microns and a total dispersion suggests 100% bio-availability."

Is the VERY small particle size a good thing and extremely safe?

Plz any help.

Thanks

"you HAVE to take it daily otherwise infection returns due to silver deficiency "

This is utter Bulls#!t.  Silver is not an essential mineral and there is NO SUCH THING as a "silver deficiency".

Do not do health research on sites that are trying to SELL you something.  They are not afraid to lie in order to get your money.

If you research this on reputable sites, you will see that you can save your money.  It is NOT recommended.

Edit: "it's a NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC!!"  

Ummm, no.  It does not exist in nature.  There is nothing "natural" about it.

I tried it on my ear infection few years ago and did not do me any good, if anything it got worse and have to go the ear specialist for proper treatment.

Answer 3

Argyria occurs if Colloidal Silver is ingested in large amounts over a long period of time.  I have used it topically for several problems and it is very effective and does not cause Argyria. I make my own with a battery operated appliance which cost about £80. I bought from a man called James Keith 01757 268999, it's a UK telephone number.

You are right that it can turn you blue.

We don't really need that in our diets.  For that ear infection you need to go see an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat doctor).  

PPM - parts per million.  The more PPM, means the more solute or product in the solution.  So in this case, the more PPM is more true silver, so better.

Honestly, it's more risky to take the colloidal silver than it is to not do it.  I really recommend going to an otolaryngologist.

Answer 6

It typically only turns people blue when they try to make it themselves. There are colloidal silver products on the market that you can buy at your Vitamin store. They are typically safe. No one needs silver in their diet. HOWEVER colloidal silver was used as a natural antibiotic till the 1940's and recently Bandaid has used it in their bandages. I myself have an ear infection at this very moment. My advice to you is to try Garlic. Google it. It is safer than putting a metal in your ear that may scratch or get trapped in your eardrum even in PPM's.

Answer 7

Maybe you could try some herbal anti-viral ear drops that don't contain any silver. Or you could buy a small bottle of pharmaceutical grade olive oil from your pharmacist and add a small amount of garlic oil to this and add a few drops of this to your ear. Don't forget also to take Echinacea, which helps fight viruses from within, unless you have an auto-immune disease then stay well away.

Colloidal silver is AMAZING for any kind of infection - it's a NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC!  Particle size and purity is where you are getting confused, the more pure like Sovereign is the good stuff.  You can find it a health, natural/organic food store.  Safe stuff, I give it to my children when they get green snotty noses, clears right up.  Oh and why do people answer Q's in an ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE FORUM w/ "go to the Doctor!" ?!! WTF?!  Go to another forum...
