Colloidal silver

by Bluebird52 on Mon Sep 16, 2013 11:36 pm

I'd like to ask if anyone may know if using colloidal silver might be detrimental to myeloma? The Silvercillin info says it "stimulates stem cells". Is this a good or bad thing for the myeloma, does anyone know?

My naturopath is prescribing this to deal with viruses, which is good, but I had to pause when I saw it stimulated stem cells. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks so much.

I would not use it at all.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/colloidal-silver/AN01682

Key excerpts:

"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." ...

"Rarely, excessive doses of colloidal silver can cause possibly irreversible serious health problems ..."

I would agree with the previous post. Data on silver being beneficial does not exist.
