You might want to read this before you use products with Colloidal Silver. Remember, everything has some side effect.
Quote:
The people who promote colloidal silver claim their products are safe because their silver is "different." The people who promote silver proteins and metallic silver say the same thing about their products. Think about these claims in the context of the previous paragraph. Whether the silver enters the body as a colloid in suspension or as metallic silver or as integrated into a protein, the human body treats it the same way - as a foreign object made of a toxic heavy metal - and the removal process is the same.
Silver causes immune dysfunction
When the human immune and detoxification system encounters a heavy metal such as silver, it goes into overdrive in its attempt to detoxify and remove it, as described above. Glutathione, the primary detoxifying antioxidant, is utilized in this process. If the person has a chronic illness such as hepatitis C, the glutathione that had been utilized in detoxifying viral free radical toxins and killing viruses is now siphoned off into silver detoxification. The result could be a sudden progression of the disease, the exact opposite of what the silver proponents claim. This actually happened to one of my clients: he took colloidal silver and his hepatitis viral load and ALT and AST counts suddenly increased, indicating disease progression. . . This is one of the few times when I believe the government should act to ban a health "supplement." . . . silver compounds should not be sold in products that people consume. I believe silver is a clear and present danger to anyone who consumes it Silver - The Dark Side of a New Health Craze |
