Colloidal Silver has many great uses in cleaning out your system. Silver and Gold are the only heavy metals our bodies can digest and process. All other metals give us heavy metal poisoning. I hate to say it, but CS does not cure herpes. I went through 4 bottles of various OTC CS and I even made my own using 99.9% pure silver, distilled water, a fish air pump, and a 9V battery. However, in the end it had very little effect and certainly did not cure my herpes. Yes, your mileage will vary. Perhaps the CS for this user killed enough bacteria and other virii in their system to enable their immune system to keep the herpes in check. However, herpes is not gone by a long shot.
