Yes, if you want irreversible metal poisoning. If you want to try poisoning yourself with an old fashioned treatment, then mercury -- at one time a treatment for syphillis -- is probably a better bet if only because there are well established chelation protocols for getting it out of your system. In contrast, I can find no well established, proven means to remove silver. And I have tried, repeatedly, since colloidal silver is a popular alternative treatment in the CF community and I wish I had something better to offer them than the bad news they are likely making their situation worse in the long run.
Ha.. Mercury? Really? You are right, mercury is poison. But...
there are too many people who have had spectacular results with colloidal silver, including myself, who would disagree with your post. Hospitals still use it in the eyes of newborns today to combat infections. Did you know that arsenic is not poison in the body if it is in organic form?
People also got "spectacular" results from antibiotics. Initially, optimists announced that we were ushering in an age free from disease. Fast forward a few decades and we now have frightening antibiotic resistant infections to contend with.
I am not claiming there are zero short term benefits to be had. I am only claiming there is a long term cost and I deem it to be too high since there is no known means to reverse silver poisoning. My genetic disorder is deemed to be degenerative and fatal. I have reversed a lot of the symptoms, gotten off eight prescription drugs and gotten my life back. I recommend against colloidal silver any time anyone asks me. I am clear the build up of poisons in the body is why my condition is degenerative.
