Thank-you for posting these tips, Joyce.

We should add a warning that colloidal silver has to be used with caution.
Excessive intake can result in "argyria", one symptom of which is blue or gray
discoloration of the skin. The discoloration occurs when silver is deposited in
the skin and then darkened by sunlight, just as silver particles in photographic
film darken when exposed to sunlight. Argyria is usually permanent, and there is
no known effective treatment.

Many of us are already taking in a small dose of silver via jug water filters,

While colloidal silver is highly effective against many bugs outside of the
body, its effectiveness in the body is somewhat controversial, see
