Colloidal silver according to Dr. Stephen Barrett is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles that is colloidal-based. The use of it for prolonged period of time can lead to argyria, a condition wherein silver salts are being deposited in the skin, eyes, and internal organs making the skin looks like ashen-gray. There are many cases of agryria during the pre-antibiotic period when silver is commonly found ingredient in nosedrops. When doctors discovered the cause of argyria, doctors stopped recommending their use and manufacturers stopped producing them too. The U.S. Pharmaceutical and National Formulary did not list silver products since the year 1975.

Dr. Bob Beck was a highly respected research physicist and was know for his leading-edge designs in measuring subtle magnetic fields and extremely low frequency fields. He once told his audience that they could produce a natural and powerful germ fighting mineral called "colloidal silver" by just hooking together three 9 volts batteries and two pieces of pure silver wire into a basic low voltage electrolysis circuit. Commercial suppliers were asking a $60-80 for a small 2 or 4 ounces bottle of colloidal silver in the early 90s while Dr. Beck said that it could be made for "pennies to the gallon."

This led in the 90s of some dubious ads about manufacturers who are promoting colloidal silver claiming that it is effective against AIDS, cancer, infectious diseases, parasites, chronic fatigue, acne, warts, hemorrhoids, enlarged prostate and many other diseases. Marketers said that colloidal silver is effective against hundred other diseases.

After comprehensive studies and research done by FDA, it proposed to ban the use of colloidal silver or silver salts in over-the counter products starting October 1996. And final banning was issued on August 17, 1999. However, silver products can still be sold as "dietary supplements" provided that no health claims are being made.
FDA also issued stringent warnings to more than 20 companies in 2000 whose web sites were making illegal therapeutic claims for colloidal silver products.

Colloidal Silver is a form of a natural remedy that is said to helpfully aid the body in fighting against infections. The product’s manufacturers market Colloidal Silver as an alternative to antibiotics. It is supposed to help boost the immune system and it is recommended that the product should be taken every day in order to be effecting against warding off infections

Doctor Bob Beck was a Bioenergetic Medicine Researcher 1925-2002. He developed four protocols including Colloidal Silver that allowed anyone to follow the path to a healthy life.

Some of the illnesses that Colloidal Silver is said to be effective against include acne, fungal infections, viral infections (such as the swine flu), bacterial infections, and many others as well.

As with any medications, there are potential side effects. A doctor at the Mayo Clinic believes that extended use of this product can lead to a buildup in the tissues causing the skin to turn blue, a condition that is irreversible. Taking too much of this product can also lead to seizures, kidney damage and skim irritation.

As is the case with any kind of new diet or medication, you should consider checking with your doctor before using it to make sure that is right for you.

Colloidal silver is straight quackery medicine. It is a scam. There is no scientific evidence that suggest ingesting sliver.. even suspended in a liquid is helpful to the human body in any way. In fact there are health consequences to taking Colloidal silver that may include kidney damage and neurological problems.

Dr. Bob Beck is dead. He was a self help guru and in relation to Colloidal silver..

"Beck informed his audiences that they could produce a natural and powerful germ fighting colloid mineral called "colloidal silver" by simply hooking together three 9 volt batteries and two pieces of pure silver wire into a basic low voltage electrolysis circuit. While commercial suppliers were asking $60-80 for a small 2 or 4 oz. bottle of colloidal silver in the early 90's, Bob Beck demonstrated to his audience that it could be made for "pennies to the gallon""

I do not trust 9 volt batteries to produce medicine of any kind in my home.
Dr. Beck also had other quackery like the Brain Tuner supposedly able to cure drug and alcohol addiction.. I wonder how many addicts he killed with this nonsense. I could find no reputable reference for any successes of this Brain Tuner. Only warnings.

This gentleman in the video below was a Colloidal silver user and he suffers from Argyria.
"Argyria results from prolonged contact with or ingestion of silver salts. Argyria is characterized by gray to gray-black staining of the skin and mucous membranes produced by silver deposition"

"No sound scientific studies to evaluate these health claims have been published in reputable medical journals. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has taken action against some manufacturers of colloidal silver products for making unproven health claims."

What dangers? Where are the Blue People? Where are the dead bodies? With almost 100 years of documented use and they can only come up with 3 Questionable Cases of people with Argyria, and a few 50 year old picture of people with argyria?

With the Billions of people that have existed since 1914, when a reported average of 10,000,000 people that use colloidal silver a year and they can only find 3 poorly documented cases of people with Argyria?

LOW Grade and LOW PPM products aka nanoparticle silver, silver nanoparticles, are made with chemicals, they are effective, but take a VERY Long time to achieve results, and counterproductive due to the chemical consumption.

You would have to drink a gallons of 8 - 20 PPM Colloidal Chemicals a day to have some kind of effect., Just as Paul Karason did. Notice how his beard and hair is now gray. Nobody in their right mind would drink horrific nitrates or other chemicals that would cause you to loose your hair or get premature gray much more, turn you blue, except for Paul Karason. He is forever a classic reason and example as to why you should NOT to make your own colloidal silver, and he is also proof that you have to consume gallons of nanoparticle products to have some kind of effect.

So, I ask again, where are the dead bodies? Or Where are the blue people, with over 10,000,000 Users of Colloidal Silver you would see blue people on every corner, maybe one out of 10.

You would be hearing News Reporters DAILY showing the deaths of blue people, but the TRUTH is you don’t. Because there are NO real dangers. You would have to be allergic to silver and or consume gallons upon gallons of low grade chemical colloidal silver, at time for it to be a real danger.

YOU have to remember, silver was heavily used before the 1940’s as an antiviral and antibacterial element by doctors, and published in medicinal books with applications and treatments.

Silver was replaced in the 1940’s by more “Patentable” drugs such as penicillin, and others, and was quickly forgotten about. But it has re-emerged as a notable antiviral antibacterial product due to the fact that modern viruses and bacteria have mutated into stronger strains that are no longer affected by the patentable drugs that USED to work.

HIGH GRADE REAL Colloidal Silver is non chemically made, has atom size particles and comes in 3000 PPM to 15000 PPM.

It is colorless and is resistant to UV Rays, and extreme heat or cold conditions, and it is CONFIDENTANTLY packaged in clear bottles.

High Grade Colloidal Silver Atoms are much more effective due to the fact that single colloidal silver atoms, that re 200 to 300 times smaller than nanoparticles, penetrate into the heart of viruses and bacteria much easier than low grade nano silver.

If you can picture 3000 to 15000 atoms penetrating a virus or bacteria, you would see total annihilation of the invaders, low grade low ppm colloidal silver nanoparticles would simply bounce off the viruses and possible only bruise the invaders.
