@yvonne55 and @gillysmom, please note:
According to Dr. Brent Bauer from Mayo Clinic says "Colloidal silver isn't considered safe or effective for any of the health claims manufacturers make. Silver has no known purpose in the body. Nor is it an essential mineral, as some sellers of silver products claim."
You can read more in this article:
– Colloidal silver: is it safe? https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/colloidal-silver/faq-20058061

When it comes to supplements and complementary medicine, I always refer to NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine to better understand the proven evidence. See this information:

– Colloidal Silver https://nccih.nih.gov/health/silver

I JOINED A fACEBOOK COLLODAL SILVER GROUP AFTER A FRIEND RECOMMENDED I TRY CS FOR DOUBLE KIDNEY, STOMACH, BLADDER, and other organ infectons that were slowly killing me. Wth my impaired immune system, I had been getting sicker and sicker for five years, my health and strength ebbing. Rx antibiotics were not helping. Friend said, "what do you haveto lose?" After joning the Facebook group, I read the success stories of hundreds of CS users and several months later, began my journey back to life. At first, I was afraid and cautious, usng the CS on packs on the outsde of my body. When I started using it internally. I had blood in my urine and couldn't stand straight because of infection through my abdominal, genital, and urinary systems. I believe he the gamma globulin Rx infusions I had been giving myself for 5 years were keeping me from sepsis. After drinking the CS, there were visible worms in my urine and less pain in my kidneys. The pink tinge in my urine began to lighten. I added Rx antibioics to the mix and gradually could stand straighter and feel less abdominal and bladder pain. What the docs called interstitial cystitis pain was dimnishing. The miracle was after 5 1/2 years of increasing body infection, I began to feel better slowly week by week. I stayed on the antibiotics plus colloidal silver for 7 months until the pain and infection were gone. Using a two week schedule, I weaned myself from all the Rx antibiotic meds and colloidal silver. I was still on probiotics, prebotics, and supplements that had not resolved any of my infections in 6 years previously, nor had the antibiotics alone resolved my infections. I still use CS for an occasional ear infection, one every 6 mos, lasting 2 days versus a lifetime of chronic ear infections. My left ear was one of my could-not-heal infections before CS, starting in early childhood with a mastoidectomy on my left ear at 14 months old. I have not used CS for any organ infections after the prolonged use, because I no longer feel infected. The 7 months of combined antibiotics and CS changed my life. I am no longer a walking infection factory. The treatment also cleared up my chronic left ear infection.

Hi Sue. Good to know. Thank you for the information. Is there anything out there besides a vaccine to help ensure my body doesnt go septic again? And is the pneumonia vaccine safe for someone that's just had pneumonia- twice? Thanks again!
