I've been using it for about
two months but stopped as I didn't noticed anything special, no herxing, no improvement of symptoms. I used some local european brand. If you ask me I would say there are other more effective and safer therapies than colloidal silver like herbs, essential oils or rife machines.
This is what I wrote some time ago in another silver thread
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3677044"There are lots of issues with colloidal silver:
- you can't really tell what form of silver you have: is it ionic form or colloidal form. This two are completely different thing.
- you don't know how much of it is absorbed into your body
Because of that it's very difficult to say how much you shall take and if it's safe.

This is fragment from dr Rawls book regarding silver:
"Colloidal silver. Historically, silver was widely used both externally and internally prior to the discovery of synthetic antibiotics in the 1940s. It does have antimicrobial properties, but not as much as synthetic antibiotics. For suppressing hidden stealth microbes, it is certainly no better than herbal therapy and offers none of the other benefits inherent to herbs. The body does not use silver for any metabolic processes and has a hard time getting rid of it. Silver builds up in tissues with regular use, resulting in blue-gray discoloration of the skin known as argyria. Colloidal silver is classified by the FDA as being unsafe for internal use."
