This action has made colloidal silver an effective ally in the fight against over 650 disease causing organisms. Colloidal silver is also an agent that aids in the regrowth of injured tissues. It has been useful in cases of severe burns and broken bones. Elderly people have noted positive effects on healing. There is also promising research in progress that colloidal silver may be used to help cancer patients.
Colloidal silver is considered to be extremely nontoxic and safe for human consumption.
It may not be recommended along with intravenous EDTA chelation becauase EDTA absorbs metals from the blood, making colloidal silver useless. The only side effect of using colloidal silver is a condition known as agyria , a grey discoloration of heavy folds of skin, such as knuckles. Agyria is harmless but not very attractive. This condition has occured in instances of prolonged use of over-concentrated colloidal silver solutions. To safeguard against inferior products consumers should look to see if particles have settled out of solution and should also make certain that the liquid is nearly clear in color.
