Q. What is colloidal silver?
Colloidal silver is a suspension of tiny silver particles in a medium. The silver particles in colloidal silver are typically in the nanometer size range, ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter. The term “colloidal” refers to the fact that the silver particles do not dissolve but remain suspended in the medium.
Q. Is colloidal silver safe?
While silver is generally considered safe in certain forms and at low concentrations, colloidal silver poses specific risks that warrant caution, such as prolonged or excessive consumption of colloidal silver can lead to a condition called argyria. Also, in rare cases, too many doses can cause long-lasting severe health problems, such as kidney damage and seizures. It can also interact with certain medications such as some antibiotics and levothyroxine.
Q. What is colloidal silver good for?
As a topical treatment for skin infections and wounds, as well as for the treatment of burns, colloidal silver is approved for use in bandages and dressings.
Q. Can you put colloidal silver in your eye?
When it comes to eye care, it’s best to use products that are specifically formulated for eyes and approved by healthcare professionals. Colloidal silver is not formulated or tested for use in the eyes. Thus, kindly consult with an eye care professional or healthcare provider.
Q. Does colloidal silver kill fungus?
Although test-tube investigations have demonstrated the efficacy of colloidal silver in eradicating various bacteria, fungi, and viruses, human studies have yet to validate this claim owing to the inherent dangers associated with its ingestion.
Q. Is colloidal silver safe for dogs?
It is particularly detrimental to administer colloidal silver orally to a dog. Gut dysbiosis, organ damage, and developmental issues are all highly probable complications.
