I have been asked if colloidal silver is effective in fighting flu and colds. After some research in the internet, the results have reported to be positive. While there are skeptics about colloidal silver as a treatment product, the natural health advocates believe that it is a powerful natural antibiotic to treat a host of ailments. Though I haven’t tried it personally (it is hard to find it in our local health stores), my UK friend has used colloidal silver to treat his allergies and skin problems. Whenever he experiences a stuffy nose, he would use colloidal silver as a nasal spray in the sinuses and nasal passages. He keeps a spray bottle for topical use on eyes, sore throat, itchy skinm cuts, burns or open wounds. For household hygiene, he uses the solution to disinfect kitchen table tops and surfaces.

As a matter of fact, I read in a report that colloidal silver can be used to purify water – just add one tablespoon per gallon, shake well and leave it to stand for few minutes. The reports also says that silver promotes faster healing even in severe burns. Since it is tasteless, it won’t sting on cuts or open wounds and won’t cause any stomach upsets.
