Has anyone ever used Colloidal Silver? The stuff appears to cure just about everything. I've always had very bad sinus problems that wake me up every night, unable to breath thru my nose. I live on Sudafed and Afrin. I got a bottle of this colloidal silver and started taking it 2 days ago. I don't know if this is a coincidence, but for the last 2 nights, I have not stopped up at all. That is a 1st in a very long time.

This stuff is also suppose to protect you from the flu, swine and bird. I've decided I'm NOT going to get the flu vaccine since there's so much talk about the dangers of vaccines. I'm giving this a try.

Anyone have experience using this and has it helped?

Thanks

Cured a cold I had once, but that's about it.

It's a natural Antibiotic so I'm sure it will work well for preventative measures. I've only heard good things about it & its effectiveness.

So far, so good. It's still keeping my sinuses wide open. It's hard to believe that this is working, but it's the only thing different that I'm taking. I've been able to cut back BIG time on the Afrin. Miracle!

Where do you get this product? I have to use Afrin most days more than once a day. Thanks

Not sure of the accuracy of this video, since people commenting have claimed that the silver was in a different form, but the element is still silver:



I wonder if he wears a matching shirt on purpose?

Colloidal Gold is said to have a lot of positive properties too. It's quite simple to make Colloidal siver. Otherwise, GNC carries it.

I bought it online. It's called Super Silver. You can hunt around for the best price. Just type in Super Silver.

I can't say for sure that it's this product that's helping, but I've had sinus trouble for a long time and was always taking Sudafed and using Afrin all day. After my 1st dose, I have only used my Afrin only 1 or maybe 2 times a day. That's a hugh improvement. All you do is take 2 tsp.'s a day and swish it around in your mouth for a few mins. before you swallow.

If you try it, I hope it works as well for you. A warning tho. Take it only as it says. Some people that have taken way more than they should have, have turned blue. Don't want that.

Thanks for putting the picture. I was just warning the poster above about taking too much.

I had a boss long ago who looked like this man. Too much silver I bet. He was a real germ freak. If you stood by him, he'd try to spray you with Lysol. Strange dude.

BTW, This condition is rare and happens when you take way too much. I heard they are trying to scare people with this guy because this stuff works. Pharmacutical companies are trying to discourage it's use. They want us to keep buying their useless drugs that cure nothing, only treat the symptoms.

It is sold to hepatitis patients and it does not work. It does not help the liver. It is bogus.

I suppose you need to be careful and buy products which are standardised, so you don't accidentally take too much.

Afrin I believe is oxymetazoline, and again you have to be careful and use it sparingly, otherwise the rebound congestion can be worse than the original complaint. I'm sure you know this, but a lot of people don't; since it works like magic some people squirt away like mad. Xylometazoline is almost identical.

Pseudoephedrine has less risk of rebound effects, but can keep you awake at night if taken too late in the day, and can cause impotence!

I am not going against you. I was posting on topic. The silver cr#p is worthless. A ripoff.

Debunked by the FDA? The people that allow Aspartame, fluoride, toxic products from China and many drugs and food additives that are very harmful.

Yeah, I'm gonna take what they have to say as gospel.

I've read testimony after testimony from people taking colloidal silver. Nothing but praise about it and not 1 problem.

No one is saying you have to take it. I'm only passing on info of how it is helping me. Do what you want.

Colloidal Silver is no joke and it's not bunk. At the same time it's not magic and some of the statements I've heard people make are uneducated completely.

It's been well known for many years a parent would give a baby a silver spoon to suck on and many negative symptoms would disappear.

If one expects it to be a miracle for everything under the sun then they will be let down.

I think the silver spoon thing is performing the actions of a dummy. If silver was absorbed into our bodies from silver spoons in quantities sufficient to have any effect on behaviour, the upper classes would be getting argyria from using them.

This site is an alternative therapy site, but won't recommend silver:

http://www.alternative-doctor.com/anti-ageing/heavy_metal.html

Yet the quackery goes on: this site:

http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/toxic_metal.htm

says that:

Quote:
The toxic effect of silver poisoning can be treated using the homeopathic remedy known as Nat mur.


And what is Nat mur? Sodium carbonate. Hmmm., very natural.

this site:

They also have a product called Natrum muriaticum, which they say can do all there things:

[quote]Homeopaths give this remedy for emotional problems, such as anxiety and depression, that are caused by suppressed grief and other emotions.

Natrum mur. is also used to treat conditions with a watery discharge, such as colds, and phlegm or profuse, clear mucus. Complaints that are generally worse with heat and that are often brought on by stuffy heat or exposure to hot sun are helped by this remedy. These include: migraines with zigzag lines in front of the eyes; eyestrain with aching eyes; headaches that come on after menstruation; and cold sores.

It is also good for mouth problems, for example, gingivitis (inflamed gums), dry, cracked lips, mouth ulcers, and bad breath (halitosis).

Skin complaints, for example, warts, dry cuticles, hangnails, boils, and painful acne are helped by Natrum mur. It is also effective for goiter; anemia; indigestion; constipation with dry, hard stools; bleeding anal fissures; backache; and delayed urine flow.

In women, Natrum mur. is given for absent menstruation induced by shock or grief; irregular menstruation; and a general feeling of being unwell both before and after menstruation. It is also good for a dry or sore vagina, vaginal discharge, and vaginismus (vaginal pain during sexual intercourse).

The magical ingredient? Salt. Sodium chloride. NaCl. What you put on your food.

I really don't know if it cures everything it claimes to. All I'm saying is that it appears to be working wonders on my sinus problems. All of the Afrin I use is not good. This product has allowed me to cut back drastically with the Afrin. That's gotta be a good thing. Plus, I'm not waking up every 2 or 3 hours, unable to breath thru my nose. I've been able to sleep all night and wake up breathing normally. That has not happened in many yrs.

Well said PoPo and kind of funny too. Made me smile, thanks.

Hey, Afrin is nasty stuff; but so is not being able to breathe out of your nose. I hate that when it happens which is not often to me.

Is there no issue of metal poisoning w/this stuff? As long as there are no probable serious side effect and it works, why not take it.

The blue thing is bizarre. I will watch the video later. Small house, young kid trying to sleep.

Thanks for sharing. And some folks just always have to be right. Don't worry about it. K?

Yes there is, but nobody seems to know what the safe limit is. It is hard to find a reliable source, because those which claim that the product is harmless are invariably trying to sell it to you, and those sources that claim it is useless and/or harmful are considered to be in league with the pharmaceutical companies.

Well I have heard that many are iodine deficient these days. And please don't even joke about MSG! That stuff is everywhere. Recently I read, that is it labeled as natural flavoring in organic products.

Bottom line though is that is this stuff works for whatever reason for the original OP, that shows us something.

In my book, anecdotal evidence has value.

I'm sure it does work, because it kills microbes. Unfortunately though, it isn't thought to be as safe as antimicrobial drugs, and even they have side-effects which can be quite unpleasant. It's a case of how much to take in order to kill your infection, but not do you any more harm than it is doing to the microbes.

I mean, you could eat, drink, breathe, and wash in bleach, and you won't get an infection!

I wanted to give an update on this CS. I'm starting to re-think how I feel about it's effectiveness. As I reported at first, it did seem to help my sinus problems and lower my use of the Afrin. I stopped taking it for about a week because I didn't want to use it too much. Well, my sinus trouble returned to the normal (for me) use of Afrin many times a day and waking up during the night all stuffed up again. I started taking the CS again 4 days ago, but it's not helping this time. I wonder now if my open sinuses was just a fluke or if it was mind over matter. I wanted it to work so much that maybe I willed it to be so. Who Knows? The mind is a powerful thing.

Maybe it did help, but it's not doing anything now. So, I just don't know about it now.

I will continue taking it for a few more days to see if it will kick in again, but I've been back on it for a few days and nothing.

I just wanted to let you know how it was going. If anyone has been trying it, I like to know if it's helping you and what you think.

I thought I'd found a miracle, but now I'm not so sure. DAMMIT!

Thanks

Po
