Mainstream medicine does not like the helpfull substances that cannot be patented - not as much profits to be made from them - and so there is an effort to malign all the products that use naturally occuring substances, no matter how effective they are.
Colloidal Silver [CS] is one of those - it is an effective anti-bacterial, and it works for many things where bacteria are a problem. So, Health Canada, and their minions at CBC, put out some warnings about CS occaisionally. The most common "problem" cited is "Agryia", but there has not been a case of that in many many years, because the new "electro-colloids" will not build up in the body. Ancient cases of agryria were only from taking huge amounts of silver minerals, not colloidal silver. And yet, they still talk about them as it is were a problem of CS.
to wit:
Sept 2007: CBC put out TWO stories about CS and the Health Canada recall of a CS product, citing the unacceptable levels of silver they could produce in consumers of it.
One was about an infection risk, and there could be a validity to that but it is so highly unlikley because colloidal silver is an effective antibiotic, so how could it contain bacertia?
The other article is about AGRYIA, the problem where a blue-gray coloring of the skin occurs in people exposed to high amounts of silver ; some groups are trying to say colloidal silver [CS] has been purported to cause agryia, but it has not ever occured in modern times with the "electro-colloidal silver" because of the small particle size and the ability of the human body to eliminate excess.
In recent years, millions of people have been using CS and NONE have reported this problem [I am one of them].
Dr. Altman tried to make it happen with huge doses of CS, but it would not happen - see link below.
Health Canada does not even have any data about what those "unacceptable levels of colloidal silver particles" are, other than a total amount of actual silver mineral [1000mg daily] From the H.C. website, a 1986 notice: "The exact quantity of silver required to produce argyria is unknown, but it is believed to be in the order of 1000 mg" [K - daily, yearly, lifetime? - they did not say!! ha ha ha, what a joke].
The CS I make is about 200ppm, and I take about 20ml. topically on a daily basis to control body odur [armpits] [yes, it works]. Oral dosing would range from about 10ml. to perhaps 50ml. daily for internal infections. These levels of dosing would not come anywhere near the
