Colloidal silver – does it cure cancer or cause seizures?
By this time, there is a good chance you’ve heard about the reported health benefits of colloidal silver. Maybe you use it regularly as a supplement, or once in a while to treat a specific condition. You’ve probably also heard about the potential side effects of using colloidal silver, some of which are rather scary.
So, who should we believe? Should we take the word of people who want to sell this product to us, or should we trust the medical community that wants to protect itself from liability by saying that everything is bad for you? Are there actual health benefits to colloidal silver, and if so, do they outweigh the possible dangers?
First, let’s take a look at what colloidal silver is. Then we can examine both sides of this subject.
Colloidal silver products are made of tiny silver particles suspended in a liquid such as water or some gelatinous goo – the same type of precious metal that is used in jewelry, dental fillings, silverware and other consumer goods. They are usually marketed as dietary supplements that are taken by mouth.
These products also come in forms to be injected or applied to the skin. Colloidal silver is indeed silver – or at least a silver residue. A colloid is a particle of some substance, broken down and mixed into or suspended in liquid.
The medical community – including the Mayo Clinic and WebMD.com – has a number of things to say about colloidal silver, and none of them are very complimentary. Among them are:
• It is not an essential mineral supplement.
• It has no known function in the body.
• Its products that are marketed for medical purposes are now considered “misbranded” under the law.
• It is not considered safe or effective for any of the health claims that manufacturers make.
• No sound scientific studies to evaluate health claims made about it have been published in reputable medical journals.
• The Food and Drug Administration has taken action against some manufacturers of colloidal silver products for making unproven health claims.
• It can build up in your body’s tissues over months or years. Most commonly, this results in argyria, a blue-gray discoloration of skin, eyes, internal organs, nails and gums.
• Excessive doses of colloidal silver can cause possibly irreversible serious health problems, including kidney damage and neurological problems such as seizures.
• When taken orally, colloidal silver can also wreak havoc on proteins and make other medicines less effective. For pregnant women, colloidal silver poses risks to the unborn child, as fetal abnormalities may develop due to its use.
Now, those are strong accusations against a product that many other people say has wonderful beneficial properties. In my next blog, I’ll let you know some of the positive things people are saying about colloidal silver, as well as how they go about using it.
In the meantime, what are your thoughts about colloidal silver products? Have you tried them? Have you found them beneficial? Have you experienced any of the negative side effects that some people have reported?

I have used this for years on both my horses and myself. If you or your horse has an infection apply directly into eye using 3-4 drops in 1-3 days it clears up. I have used it on a friends horse which had a 14 inch laceration and the doctor told him it would be scared for life. First I removed all the big bandages that would not let the wound breath. Second applied colloidal silver and covered with light gaze bandage and sprayed 4 times a day for 5 days. Healing was now in place and applied only twice a day for 3 days then once a day for thee days and removed all bandages. I did remove stitches (18) and sprayed daily for three more days. in one month not only was the horse healed but the hair grew back in another two month you would not of known it even had an injury. I also use it for nose spray and have cured my granddaughter’s bronchitis using it through and atomizer. Any scratch or open sore on any animal spray it a forget it. Presently I donate some of the silver I make to a horse rescue. They are treating a big white horse who has some sort of the vet say unreachable skin problem. They claim it is working. I have never seen any side effect and have been using it for over 50 yrs. I am 77 so it has not killed me yet and have only been to a hospital twice in my life. This product is in my medical cabinet both in the barn and home at all times.
SIDE EFFECTS LISTED FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE HARMFUL DIRECT EFFECTS THAT YOU PAY FOR BUT MEDICOS HOPE YOU WONT QUESTION AND WONT SUE THEM WHEN THE SIDE EFFECT STRIKES.
THINK ABOUT ALL THE FOOD CONSUMED USING SILVER UTENSILS (IF ONE COULD AFFORD THEM).

DR GEORGE HERBAL CURE TO EPILEPSY
I was always praying to have a testimony when ever i saw people sharing their own testimonies which really took me years but today i am the happiest father on earth.
My son suffered EPILEPSY, for 20years after taken different kind of western medication without been cured.
All these years my son was like a death person but today he is been cured.and you do not know how i feel having my son back to life because it was not really easy for me having just two children and one been abnormal.
I took time to search internet which i found a lot of people thanking Dr. George concerning the same problem and i discussed it with my wife and she said we should give a try so we order his product which my son took for some months and he is very much okay now.
I will advise you stop wasting time on all these western medicine because they only work for some
days and the problem bounce back again.
Contact Dr. at [email protected] for advice and for his product and be the next to give testimony
My name is Florence form Canada I had a history of uncontrolled tonic clonic seizures for 20 years. I’ve tried many anticonvulsants and had never been able to stop the seizures. Surgery was not an option. My seizures worsened as I aged. Finally, i met a Doctor on the internet called Lawson . I ordered for the Herbal medication and used the medication for 6 months, after which I went for medical test, which has been confirmed cured completely. It worked! I’ve been seizure free for 12 months. contact him on via email [email protected]
About 20 years ago i had a massive seizure. It was so severe that the Dr. later told me if I had not been in the emergency room because my wife was concerned about my confusion, that it probably would have killed me. In the years since, I have had some minor events and confusion episodes. I have tried MANY seizure prescriptions since then. Enter Colloidal Silver… Since my wife & I started using it about 10 years ago, I have been, and still am seizure free! WITHOUT big pharma’s expensive medications. No wonder they are warning about the “dangers” of colloidal silvers “side effects.” I find it very ironic that one of those “dangers” they claim is that it may cause seizures. None of us are exactly the same, and it is vitally important for each individual to not only seek good medical advice, but it is equally, and perhaps more important that we seek help from above in making these decisions.
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
My daughter did a Science Fair project on Collidial Silver. Most people DO NOT know, that: 1.) Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used Silver Vessels to transport water, since the silver killed microbes in the water. 2.) Paint companys use Silver in Mold preventive paint to prevent Black Mold from forming. 3.) At least on Lock company Schlege made a School door knob with Silver Plating to prevent germs (cold & Flu) from being spread from hand contact. My daughter has psoriasis, and the CS has helped to clear up flame ups she has had. I would like to add this: After the Legionaires Diease outbreak in Vegas, most casinos now have silver plated ventilation for their Air Conditioning. And, the Major High End Appliance makers are using more and more Silver content for plating Stainless steel Apliances, such as Stoves, Refridgerators, and surfaces.
How did you use the CS for psoriasis? I use it for sore throats, eye infections, but have not tried it for my severe scalp psoriasis.
CS literally saved my wife’s life. She was given a massive overdose of antibiotics because of a lack of communication between some medical “professionals”. The result was destruction of the probiotics in her digestive system. I was thinking of taking her to the emergency room when the phone rang, and one of her good friends suggested we check with a lady at a local health food store. That lady had experienced the very same problem. Her suggestion: Drink 8 oz. of 10 ppm colloidal silver all at once, and then go on a high protein, no sugar, diet along with active probiotic supplements. What a blessing; The symptoms went away almost overnight, and 30 days later she is back to her old “keep up with me if you can” self. What had the doctors at the E.R. recommended? Another dose of antibiotics! Where is our modern medical society going? Oh, I forgot, they are “OWNED” and supported by big pharma and big government. GOD HELP US. It is always good to take a long look before you leap. P.S. — She now takes 2 tbs. of colloidal silver daily and has done for 3 months. NO, SHE IS NOT BLUE!!!
We started using colloidal silver 20 + years ago. In a nebulizer for lung bronchial infections, for colds, flu’s.
Our dog was nebulized for pneumonia and cured with no problem. I fill the nebulizer cup with colloidal silver, add 5 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 5 drops of nascent iodine (NOT lugols..lugols is too harsh for lung tissue), a pinch of baking soda and let these powerful cheap and effective ingredients heal my body. Dr. mark sircus details a nebulizer protocol on his website, using the above stated ingredients and a couple more (worth a search and read). We started using this for a 6month old (18 years ago) that had been diagnosed by our doctor (emergency room visit) with RSV. he gave us albuterol (which is horrible for your thyroid and overall boby), We used it (albuterol) to help with immediate opening of his airways. then started doing the colloidal silver, the doctor was amazed at his speed of recovery on his appointment visit two days later….doc said “what every your doing…keep it up, its working!”
Our family of 5 has not been to a doctor for ANY infections since we started incorporating this protocol into our health regiment.
As far as “turning blue” that only happens when the silver particle size is too large. I’ve seen cheap home made silver generators that will cause this problem (using 3 9v batteries hooked up inseries for a 27v system…these are the colloidal silver generators that are the cause of argyra discolorations…because the particle size of the silver is too large.
We purchased a silver generator that uses a 10,000v transformer for extracting the silver particles and it works wonderful. I put it in my water for animals, plants and man alike. Flood your sinus’s with this stuff and for me and everybody that has done this, I’ve seen sinus infections (cronic infections) go away in a few days of diligent usage. Yeast infections are a breeze to clear up almost instantly. Eye infections killed off just as fast. This stuff is good, works almost magical, that’s why the medical community hates this stuff. Oh and put some in your milk to extend its freshness ( or a cap full of hydrogen peroxide)
For me and my family and friends this stuff works exceedingly well….Cheers!
I came upon colloidal silver 6 years ago when my 16 year od daughter was diagnosed with a severe form of mono. She had turned yellow and every gland in her body was so swollen she could only drink from a straw and could not lift her head off the pillow. The medical community put her on an antibiotic to clear up the strep throat and severe sinusitis that occurred due to the mono. They told me she would be out of school for about 8 weeks as her spllen had tripled in size.
I did some research and found colloidal silver online and mono (a virus) was listed as responsive to colloidal silver. I took the silver first and had no side effects. I gave it to my daughter and the swelling and yellowing of her eyes and skin disappeared in 3 days and she was able to swallow food again. She responded so quickly she was back in school 1 week after diagnosis cutting recovery time by 7 weeks. Her spleen was back to normal in 5 weeks as we continued treatment . My pediatrician said that it was the worst case of mono he had seen in his practice of 30 years.
Ever since I have been using colloidal silver for my 4 teenagers and my husband for ear infections’ stomach virus, strep throat, and bronchitis, burns cuts, or any other ailment. The key to using silver is to use at the earliest sign of symptoms. This decreases the number of doses. Once symptoms dissapear discontinue use.
I do however think it is important to make sure there are no allergies to silver and you have to be careful if you are an epileptic or have other conditions that may react negatively to silver use. I think you also have to be cautious using it on kids under 15 or 16 depending on their body weight which would determine the strength needed.
My daughter was diagnosed with Epilepsy. The neurologist was very confident about the diagnosis based, my Daughter had an EEG (no idea if it showed anything; we were tired and may have misunderstood what he said about that). MRI was negative for problems. For the past 4 months or so, I have seen weekly occurrences, making strange faces (this involved cheek twitching and lip quivering). We did not realize it could be a serious problem until she had an obvious seizure (simple partial) last week. What is troubling about my daughter condition is that we have seen many daytime seizures, and that recently the seizures seem to cluster together. No idea if there are seizures occurring at night.
We were given a prescription for Kapra, but are still weighing the risk / rewards of giving the medication to a toddler. After returning from the hospital, my daughter experienced a round a vomiting lasting from 3 AM to 11 AM, followed by additional vomiting the following morning at around 2 AM. Nothing sense then. She has not had an appetite, is drinking fine, and otherwise appears healthy. I read a lot of blogs where people who shared their testimonies kept mentioning Anti-seizure Herbal medication. I searched for a website Herbalife cure I just followed the email address of Doctor Lawson that was shared on these testimonies; I got lucky when I got a reply from Dr. Lawson. I followed his instruction, used Herbal Medicine in less than 2 months, my daughter seizures reduced drastically. Within a period of 5 months, my daughter was cured. I went back to my neurologist, where my daughter checked up and marked epilepsy free. contact him at this website http://www.herbalifecure.jimdo.com.
I’m allergic to more antibiotics than the average person most could kill me. I had a homeopathic physician recommend this to me decades ago. So when I have a wound, sinus infection, bronchitis , etc… I do take colloidal silver as a broad spectrum antibiotic. Within a couple of days I am improving and within less than a week I am well.
Yes, if not taken in proper amounts and if taken for lengthy amounts of time it can be detrimental to ones health but for people such as myself it’s a blessing.
As proof in 5 plus decades I can count on my one hand the amount of times I’ve been truly in need of anything more and I’m so thankful. Can you say as much for western medicine?
Do you use it topically or ingest it? I’ve been having good success with this CS gel product I’ve been testing, but I really hate to see something that could be harmful if folks use in wrong.
Colloidal silver was a remedy used around 1880’s to present day. The Food and Drug Administration tends to look the other way when dealing with ole time remedies because they work although there maybe no scientific medical evidence to back the claims. The only thing that may be construed as medical evidence are the folks that have used these old fashion remedies. If the concentration of silver is too high or the level of concentration in the body is too high there is a chance of the person turning blue. A colour that can not be reversed. But that doesn’t make this remedy useless by any means. All you can do is to give it a try and see if your health is restored.
Let me drop a little knowledge on you folks. Back in 1650’s physicians accidentally realized that if you place silver coins on a wound that wound would heal faster and without infection. The silver would prevented infections so they would scrape silver shaving into the wounds. Just think what would happen if you took a solution of silver particles suspended in a water solution. There are concerns, but, perhaps the benefits out weigh the short comings. You can turn blue, get well, or nothing happens. Just as if you were taking a miracle drug that may have some sort of adverse effects.
The Food and Drug Administration is just doing their jobs – protecting the citizen from unsubstantiated claims of an old remedy. I just wish they would go after the larger drug companies for some of their claims.
Word of caution about colloidal silver, please do your research before using it. I would hate to see you turn blue in the face because you didn’t understand the amount to be taken and how long you should be on it.
I make and give away colloidal silver to guests, family, friends, and neighbors. All have reported good results from using CS. The best results have been from stopping ulcers/parasites in the gut, MRSA, helped with shingles, heartworms in dog, stys, pink eye, sinus, skin problems, et.
I have been using ionic silver for bladder cancer and the cancer did not reappear.
Just finished another bottle of Sovereign Silver Bio-active Silver Hydrosol Immune Support 10 ppm 2 teaspoon morning and night. According to EPA (CASRN 7440-22-4) daily Oral Silver Reference Dose (RfD) applied to 10 ppm, one may ingest 178,850 servings safely over 70 years. 99.999% pure no added salts or proteins, just silver and pure water.
— My gradmother used it on us 4 grandkids, we’re all still here. I do forget to take it sometimes and nose will run a little so I go take it nose stops running. Have not had a cold in very long time (69 now), stay active with lots of firewood ( stacks 12 x 6 x 30 and 10 x 6 x 60 gone) new 10 x 6 x 12 and garden 30 — 100 ft rows. Most of those reason listed are looking at no money being made by drug companies, wonder who gets the money drug companies pay FDA each year “” I would not be without it.
