Consumers who self-treat using alternative medicine need to learn about nutrients, dietary supplements, and the health food industry. This basic knowledge is necessary to make wise choices of products and treatments. Since no supplement or substance is absolutely fool proof - even water can be taken to excess, for instance - users need to proceed with caution and common sense. The correct colloidal silver dosage can work wonders, while taking too much or too little can only disappoint.
Experts say that ionic and protein formulas are not as desirable as the particulate suspension that is truly colloidal silver. The suspensions vary in strength, with the 'active ingredient' measured in parts per million. Reputable companies voluntarily subject their products to third party testing for purity, truth in labeling, and potency.
Silver is not an essential mineral, like calcium, iron, and magnesium. This means that it does not need to be provided in the diet. People have used it for centuries, however, for its antibiotic action against bacteria, yeasts, and germs. Millions all over the world take it as a supplement and benefit from its use in water purification systems.
The Silver Safety Committee is dedicated to helping people know how to use this beneficial mineral safely and effectively. They have a website with information, FAQs, and an interactive tool to determine the proper dose for daily use (to ward off illness) or as a short-term remedy for various ills. The tool uses total body weight and the ppm strength of any formula to determine how many drops should be taken. The Committee's recommendations are far weaker than 'safe' levels set by the US EPA.
Some formulas are pure colloidal mineral suspensions, while others may contain other substances as well. Most are designed for oral intake, but many are topical. Consumers should always start by following the manufacturer's directions, which should make the product safe and effective.
As with any supplement, there are standard dosages and uses as well as extreme methods practiced by those who may or may not know what they are doing. The advice of health professionals and of reputable manufacturers is generally more to be trusted than anecdotal or 'fringe' advice.
Most solutions contain 10 ppm, although strengths from 5 to 500 are offered. When the body is 'saturated' - or provided with all the mineral it can absorb and use - continued use may cause skin rashes and irritations. Simply reducing the dosage slightly should clear things up.
When taken properly, this mineral does good, not harm. Many people never want to be without it to treat sore throats, fungus infections, yeast infections, burns, eye problems, and staph infections. It is reported to fight SARS, the 'bird flu', MRSA, and even Ebola. Manufacturers add it to shampoos and soaps, to skin salves, and to pet products. It is used in ceramic water filters around the world, and helps many cities provide safe drinking water to their inhabitants.
