Mercola goes on to state:

Colloidal Silver has many antibacterial properties and is commonly used in hospitals to treat wounds and burns. It has even reached the mainstream in the form of a silver bandage line from Curad. According to the bandage company:

“Laboratory testing showed that silver reduced bacterial growth like Staph. aureaus, E. coli, E. hirae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa -- a powerful germ that does not respond to many antibacterials -- in the dressing for 24 hours.”

Even washing machines are now, for better or worse, using silver ions to kill bacteria.

Meanwhile, silver-coated urinary catheters are used to help reduce urinary tract infections (UTIs) -- studies showed they reduced the incidence of UTI by 47 percent -- and historically, Colloidal Silver has been used internally as a natural antibiotic.

However, while it certainly has some benefits, Paul Karason’s skin discoloration is an important reminder that even natural treatments can carry side effects, and taking large amounts of any supplement, even a natural one, has the potential to throw your body out of balance.

Colloidal Silver has also become very popular on the Internet, and you must be very careful to avoid counterfeit, sub-par, or contaminated versions.

Because there are risks involved, I’d encourage anyone thinking of using colloidal silver to do so only under the care of a knowledgeable natural health clinician.

And as for Karason’s first problem, the dermatitis that prompted him to use the silver, getting some safe sun exposure on your skin is an ideal way to clear up this skin problem.

Remember also that most of the infections you acquire are not the result of some pernicious germ that is out to get you. Rather, most frequently it is because your immune system was impaired because you violated one or more of the following three basic health principles:

* Getting enough sleep.

* Having good tools to cope properly with stress. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has proven to be an extremely effective stress-relief technique for many patients in my clinic. You can view the free EFT manual for more information.

* Eating a healthy diet, tailored to your nutritional type, with little or no Sugar or grains.

If you follow these three tips, your risk of infection, and need for an Antibiotic (natural or otherwise), will be greatly decreased.

----------------------------------------------------

This does serve the purpose of showing not only CS usefulness, but also its use in everyday applications.

I am leaning towards this point of view...

If we get sick, and the illness is not life threatening, we should ride it out... perhaps use a food, herb, or modality, such as a vaporizer (perhaps with a bit of h2o2 in it), to ease symptoms, however let the body fight it off on its own. No internal Antibiotic use of ANY kind; nothing to ward off the infection(s) save for the immune system.

I am beginning to see where taking this track would result in a favorable system wide immune boosting mutation, protecting the individual, or reducing the effects of, a subsequent future attack from the same, or a similar "bug".

Of course, if this healing method is employed, people would have to be willing to take a little more sick time off of work perhaps for an illness. Or, if not given a choice, work sick... then one must deal with the constant badgering from others to "see a doctor" and risk infecting their fellow co-workers.
