Hi there, I wanted to let you know that yes indeed too much colloidal silver can change your skin to a blue/gray color. I have seen it firsthand and let me tell you, I was very startled! I used to work in a public agency (left in May '10) and one day I was covering the front reception desk for a coworker while she was on break. I was looking at the computer screen when a gentleman walked up to the desk and I looked up to say, "May I help you?" and lo and behold he was blue! More like a blue/gray, hard to describe but other than the coloring his skin looked great! He almost glowed and maybe that freaked me out intially because I had no idea what I was looking at; I wasn't processing what I was seeing right away. I regained my composure but I felt kind of bad for staring. When my coworker came back I asked her who the "Blue Guy" was and she said, "Oh, yeah he's the one that took too much silver." Now, I don't know how much is too much silver but in his case there definitely was an effect. I take colloidal minerals and swear by them. The dosing is 1 fluid ounce daily for adults and that's all I take. My advice to you would be to do some good research, especially with regards to your young child.

Hello
I have been using colloidal silver for about 4.5 years to good effect. It must boost the immune system for though I have a few major medical conditions I have not had a cold or flu in the interim. Mind, I eat rather strictly avoiding meats, fish, dairy products, grains (including the flours), all processed foods, sugar, honey, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs (legal and illegal), certain fruits and vegetables as well. Also take oil of oregano usually with the colloidal silver to keep parasites, viruses and fungi in check. Either of these are wonderful for aniseptic use as these do not kill off cells in and around the wound the way the chemical accepted treatments do. Rubbing alcohol has to be the worst for this tissue damage.
The silver will turn certain folk's skin blue (argyria) if consuming too much but methinks it also depends on the brand of colloidal silver water too and the method of manufacture.

A bit of trivia. You have heard of the term "blue bloods"? Wealthy personages, throughout the centuries, such as royalty, religious elite and landed aristocrats drank and ate from silver tankards, plates, cutlery, mugs and chalices. They also stored water in silver urns. The silver would erode and enter their bodies thereby turning the skin bluish. There are many thoughts on the term "blue blood" but this is the only one that makes sense to me.

I once read (though I cannot now prove it) that Alexander the Great would create medicinal silver water by filling his silver helmet with water and letting it steep for a period of time. This then would be used to wash out his battle wounds and to drink as an elixer.

Medical applications of silver were recognized by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and in the alchemical writings of Paracelsus. Following the discovery of bacteria as a cause of disease, several physicians discovered the antibacterial qualities of silver and applied them to their practice of medicine. They used silver nitrate successfully in the treatment of skin ulcers, compound fractures, and suppurating wounds. This was not the first time silver had been used for its antibacterial properties. In 4000 B.C. Persian records indicate that water was kept in silver vessels to produce antibacterial and disinfectant qualities in it. The Romans used silver compounds on the battle field to treat wounds as did the Crusaders in the Middle Ages.

In Ayurvedic medicine silver is used in small amounts as a tonic or elixir or rejuvenative agent for patients debilitated by age or disease. Silver was also used in homeopathic medicine. The dilute concentrations were in the same range as the modern low concentrations of colloidal silver.

Personally, I would highly recommend taking a few droppers of colloidal silver water daily as a tonic for its antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antibiotic, antiseptic and antiviral effects.

Take everything with a grain of salt my friend. What helps you one day can turn ugly the next. I would never put anything like colloidal silver in my immune system even though people use it. For boosting my immune system I work out and eat a clove of garlic a day. It works wonders.

But you have to do what works best for you. If colloidal silver is working for you than all the best. I simply try to eat healthy and hope for the best.

It is necessary to take some form of probiotics daily to ensure that good bacteria is replaced. This goes for ingestion of Oil of Oregano as well. Have taken silver and oil for years along with probiotics with no problem.

Best to take probiotics daily rather than yogurt which is animal protein and not created for human consumption.
