As recommended by the manufacturer, colloidal silver should be stored in a capped, ambercolored glass bottle to prevent direct contact with light. Contact with plastic also triggers an ionic reaction, causing particles of silver to start binding to each other instead of being dispersed in the aqueous medium. This clumping together of the silver particles produces an inferior-quality colloidal-silver solution as evidenced by a change in its color from light yellow to brownish.
At this condition, the therapeutic action of colloidal silver is compromised. Clinical observation suggests that our laboratory technique may have contributed to the negative results in ABAT. In the Kirby Bauer disc-diffusion test, the solution was absorbed by the sensitivity disc, thereby prolonging the action of colloidal silver over the agar plate by extending its evaporation time in contrast to ABAT, where the solution was dropped in a well on the agar plate.
Future studies should, therefore, address the factors affecting the stability of colloidal silver. In summary, this study demonstrated that the conflicting results regarding the antimicrobial activity of colloidal silver may be due to differences in study design and factors affecting the stability of the colloidal-silver solution. The authors thank Vicente O. Santos Jr. Concepcion, MD, Lee G. Nuevo, RMT, MA SINCE the early s, medical practitioners have used colloidal silver orally, topically, and intravenously as treatment for various conditions caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
Drug sensitivity was subsequently assessed by measuring the area of clearing in millimeters around the antimicrobial tested or the zone of inhibition Table 1 , Table 2.
Antibacterial-activity testing. References 1. Wadhera A, Fung M. Systemic argyria associated with ingestion of colloidal silver. Dermatol Online J ; What is colloidal silver? Colloidal silver is a liquid solution containing suspended silver nanoparticles. Due to the minute nature of the particles, gravity has no impact allowing for an even distribution throughout the water solution.
For this reason, you should expect to see no sediment at the bottom of a container of colloidal silver. It is thought that due to this amazingly minute particle size, the body is able to absorb the silver easily without any tissue damage. It's important to note that these findings were found at low doses. The potent nature of colloidal silver may help with eye infections while being gentle enough to leave healthy cells and tissue undamaged. She has allergies and they get gunky.
After the 2nd use her eyes were much better and I put the drops in as and when needed now. However, medicinal silver has found its niche in the supplement realm. This supplementation, in addition to exposure to silver through trauma, surgery and occupational means can lead to deposition of silver granules in structures of the eye, known as ocular argyrosis.
Silver can also deposit throughout the body and cause a variety of systemic side affects. The examination revealed slate-grey-brown pigment deposition in the inferior palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva of both eyes, extending into the fornicies. All other parts of the examination were unremarkable. The patient admitted to occasional topical use of colloidal silver drops for dry eye and to treat a previous "eye infection. Colloidal Silver can be an inexpensive alternative to drugs like antibiotics and steroids.
What is Colloidal Silver? Colloidal silver is a liquid antibiotic, anti-viral and anti-fungal that has been touted as treating and preventing an assortment of conditions in both humans and animals. Colloidal silver, as opposed to just plain silver, means that submicroscopic silver particles are suspended in a liquid base. Because the silver particles are so tiny, they are thought to penetrate cells and kill pathogens.
Colloidal Silver tastes almost like pure water with just a slight mineral taste, so it is easily administered orally to rabbits, goats, dogs, cats, horses, birds, ferrets, people, and other beings.
Colloidal silver can be administered orally, in the eyes for eye allergies, conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc. There is no natural antibiotic alternative like it for ease of administration and effectiveness.
