Colloidal Silver

What is Colloidal Silver?

Colloidal silver is a suspension of fine silver particles in liquid, often promoted for its antimicrobial properties. Historically, silver has been used as an antiseptic and to prevent infections due to its ability to kill bacteria and fungi. Colloidal silver is available in liquid form and is sometimes touted as a natural remedy for various ailments, including respiratory infections and skin conditions.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to colloidal silver may result from allergic reactions or the body’s sensitivity to silver particles. Symptoms can include skin irritation, gastrointestinal upset, or even argyria, a condition that causes a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin due to excessive silver accumulation.

What can I do about it?

If you suspect an intolerance, it’s best to stop using colloidal silver immediately. To support immune health, consider exploring alternatives like oregano oil or garlic, which also have antimicrobial properties. If you choose to reintroduce colloidal silver, do so gradually and in small amounts, monitoring for any adverse reactions.
