Product reviews of Ultra Pure Colloidal Silver Natures Best Antibiotic 8.45 oz/250ml Review: Can Cause Argyria Beauty product: 1 Stars
I don't often post negative reviews (and I doubt it will get many "helpful" ratings) but if this review encourages anyone who uses silver to do a little more research, it's worth it.
Please take just a second to do a web search for ARGYRIA before taking any product containing silver. Taking silver causes permanent gray skin coloration (argyria) in many people. It is irreversible. Some studies suggest it is also a neurological toxin. Furthermore, no legitimate published study has ever proven silver to be therapeutic for any condition.
A technical but comprehensive report:
Fung MC, Bowen DL (1996). "Silver products for medical indications: risk-benefit assessment". Journal of Toxicology. Clinical Toxicology 34 (1): 119-26.
Wikipedia's short, easy-to-read article:
[...]
You may also look up Rosemary Jacobs, who suffers from argyria from silver supplements and is now a patient advocate.
Do not rely on testimonials or "studies" provided by those who are asking for your money. Based on the totality of evidence, any oral silver product on the market must be sold by people who are either unscrupulous or uneducated.
Make a quick phone call to your own doctor before taking silver or any other oral supplement.

Review: colloidal silver for dogs Beauty product: 5 Stars
My dog had a ear infection that I couldn't clear up with antibiotics. The colloidal silver cleared it up in a couple of days. Good stuff!
