Alternative Medicine Colloidal Natural Health: Colloidal Silver

Colloidal Silver Uses

Sponsored Links



On the Internet there is a lot of excitement about alternative medicine colloidal natural health. Alternative medicine using colloidal minerals is a very controversial alternative treatment. Apparently it is turning individuals skin the color gray, literally!

This article will explore just some of the controversy surrounding these minerals. Please do your own investigation before taking this controversial supplement.

Alternative Medicine Colloidal Natural Health: Colloidal Minerals

What are colloidal minerals? They are silver molecules highly promoted as containing seventy or more trace elements that our bodies need to be healthy. But researcher Dr. Alexander Schauss says that these minerals are actually different kinds of clays dispersed in water.

A study of seven of the colloidal minerals showed they only had fifteen elements each, and not seventy like they claimed. This is the first contradiction I found while doing my research on colloidal minerals.

There are toxic trace minerals found in colloidal, such as arsenic, barium, cadmium, mercury, and lead. This does not sound too good for the manufacturers of this supposed natural alternative medicine.

There are trace amounts of mercury in many popular fish as well, and that hasn’t stopped people from eating it.

Most people use colloidal silver as an antibiotic and healing agent. Some people tout it is a miracle alternative to treat many health ailments. But just as many people say it is a hoax and doesn’t work. Who can we believe?

Alternative Medicine Colloidal Natural Health: Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver has been used as a bactericide for 1200 years. Although Colloidal Silver has been controversial in the past, it has been proven to be effective against 650 different diseases.

Many elderly people have shown remarkable vigor and pep after taking colloidal silver on a daily basis. Silver is especially good for parasitic diseases and other intestinal tract issues.

The controversial aspect of colloidal silver are the symptoms when it is taken in large doses. It often kills the good bacteria and beneficial flora in your stomach, which causes diarrhea.

When taken orally in larger amounts, and when put directly on the skin, it will give your skin a blue-gray tinge color. I don’t think I would like that too much.

Alternative Medicine Colloidal Natural Health: Dosage Amounts of Silver

One person may need far less colloidal silver than another person. It all depends on what you are using it for. Colloidal silver can be taken orally in small amounts several times a day, or in large amounts once a day.

Most often two or three tablespoons are taken orally every day. But some people who tout silver as a cure-all alternative treatment may drink up to two glasses of colloidal silver every single day!

Experts in the healing treatment of silver say that it is important to hold the silver in your mouth so it may absorb into your system under your tongue.

Experts agree, a few sips taken this way is far better for your health than drinking large doses quickly. Listen to your body. It will let you know how much you need to treat illness with.

Alternative Medicine Colloidal Natural Health: Colloidal vs. Ionic Minerals

Please do your own research. I would never promote something that I have not used myself. Therefore, I cannot tell you to use colloidal supplements or drinks. There is also controversy about whether or not colloidal products are actually as beneficial as they are advertised on the Internet.

According to Chris Meletis N. D, colloidal minerals do not absorb properly into the system like ionic minerals do. He also states that there is no evidence to support that colloidal minerals work!

This is just some of the controversy surrounding colloidal minerals. Some folks say colloidal works and others don’t. If you would like to know more about colloidal minerals, click on the sources below.
