Like the black sheep whose wool is every bit as warm and useful as that of the white sheep, colloidal silver is often shunned, though safe and effective for a number of applications. For centuries, silver's health-giving properties were known to fight infections, whether they were bacterial or viral. Silver's safety and compatibility with the human body was recognized also.
Current Research
Current research shows that colloidal silver continues to fight viruses and infections effectively.
One such study, done in 1991 by Brigham Young University researchers,
showed that colloidal silver is lethal to bacteria and viruses, but
safe for the human body. That study, which eventually extended to UCLA
Medical Laboratories, showed that colloidal silver killed every
pathogen in the laboratories, including staph, pseudomonas, anthrax,
and HIV.

Let me say at the outset that there continues to be much discussion about colloidal silver's benefits or lack of benefits. Nonetheless, the USFDA's recent steps make such discussion important.
Colloidal silver has a wealth of reputed health benefits. In the 19th Century, colloidal silver's benefits were thought to range from skin infection cures to common cold cures. It was used to treat all manner of illness and disease. This universal use continued until 1983.
In 1983, the FDA launched an attack against the use of medicinal silver. Perhaps the FDA was pressured to protect the highly lucrative pharmaceutical industry, which colloidal silver might negatively affect. Whatever the motives, all silver-based products had to be classified as pre-1938 drugs until recently.
Now, the FDA has begun to approve of certain uses of medicinal silver,
making room for a growing number of colloidal silver benefits.

Colloidal silver benefits are found in the uncanny ability of silver to disable oxygen-metabolizing enzymes needed by one-celled bacteria, fungi, and viruses for survival. This unique action of colloidal silver allows it to destroy harmful organisms in the body while leaving untouched human enzymes and other substances essential for health.
Colloidal Silver History
Colloidal silver benefits have been known for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks, one of the most advanced civilizations during their time, used to line their utensils and drinking vessels with silver. This was mainly to get the colloidal silver benefits. Romans and Egyptians also made wide use of silver, not restricting its uses to kitchen utensils but adding small quantities of it as treatment for various ills and in purification of water. Colloidal silver benefits were well-known to these civilizations.
