Dale, I've honestly never heard of it...well, maybe "heard" of it, but have not read a thing about it.
I found these, of course they're conflicting...not a surprise there though. ;)

Colloidal Silver Helps Improve Antibiotic's Effectiveness

Colloidal silver: Is it safe or effective? - Mayo Clinic

http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=92463

The negatives come from the Mayo clinic and FDA. It is VERY hard for me to believe anything they say, especially because of their stance on ecigs. I'm sorry but I just can't take what they say with any trust whatsoever.

Oh wow, that's really chilly for May 1st.

....did you read that the stuff could turn you permanently blue/grey??

Also, just FYI, the FDA banned it in 1999 in OTC drug products, however not in the nutritional supplements category.

I just hate it when there are WONDERFUL success stories/experiences regarding treatments, and then conflicting articles. It's just so irritating!!

I know you have to be near your wits end with your mouth issues, so you will just have to weigh it all for yourself.

Personally, I'd prob pass, I tend to lean towards the OVERLY cautious side most of the time, but that's just me. However, if my mouth was as torn up as yours has been, it might be a different story. Just being honest.

Cautious is good but sometimes when all else fails..... ;)

....here's one for Robin....or you can use it Dale next time we have to start a new one.

...it's kind of long...to watch from start to finish.

That(!) is totally COOL!!! When I get back home I will have to find that site and put it in my favorites! I've gotten such a kick looking at all those new emoticons.

    I say make them stop eating all the food up :)
    Wish I could just send them to the store-but they bring home junk ...
    Wouldn't that be nice? :laugh:
    Yeah, DH is pretty much the same ... or he only buys stuff he eats :facepalm:

    Oh! Good morning lovely Robinator! :wub:
    I kind of have to agree with you about the silver ... ironic who claims it's so bad for you huh? :?:

    I'm feeling pretty good right now. I can find positions to sit where I don't have any pain. I only have been taking pain meds to sleep. I might get the IV off today. :thumbs:
    Eeee! Wonderful hon! So glad you're not suffering too much, hope you get to go home soon :)

    I know, and I don't disagree at all. They BOTH continue to fail us!!
    The thing is, and trust me, I am NO fan of the FDA, but...when they do ban something, there has to be clinical evidence of harm...that SAD part is that the ban is usually LONG after VERY MUCH harm has already been done. That was really why I included it. I generally always trust Mercola, his was the positive. But I also try to gather info from a few different places, and weigh what they all say.
    Medicine today, as we know it, is actually "new" in relative terms. For instance Ayurvedic medicine has been around for some 3000 years.

    So happy for the good report!!! I actually stalked your posts yesterday to get the most current info. :wub:

    That's purrrtay Jeff, how's it vape? :?:

    It vapes pretty good but I'm waiting on my 186500 battery so that I can use the kick that came with it. Then it'll vape great :thumbup:

    I really like it but I don't think I could vape it in public cause of all the colors. I wanted something different and that's what I got lol. It's a beautiful mod though

    FDA will also ban when unsubstanciated claims are made, which was I believe the case with the C.Silver. ;)
    The problem with that is often that there are no extensive studies done on natural remedies. No $$ in something they can't patent.
    Which is absolute BS, if you ask me....!!!
    But Mercola was positive, in a few articles at his site.
    I just hope something will help, since everything else hasn't kicked it. :(

    Good day to you all!! And can I just say?!? God bless America!!!
    I am at the VA, today was the day to get my biopsy results today....hour drive and they aren't even in! Grrr. It is alright though because I had a really great interaction with an anesthesiologist that works here. I get into the elevator, request floor 3, and he looks at me and asks...you going to GI clinic? I say, yes, I am supposed to find out if I have Barrett's esophagus today. He asks if I have Gerd pretty bad, and I tell him yes. So, we get to floor 3, and he asks if he can speak to me for a minute. I say sure. So he tells me that the doc will probably put me on antacids and that I should be respectful and nod my head, but don't take them. They will make the gerd worse. Instead, he tells me to get some apple cider vinegar and take 2 tsp. A day mixed with water, and thus will reverse the Gerd and heal my esophagus. This was like an answer to prayer because I have been reading a lot lately about how a t acids actually make Gerd worse not better, and I had been trying to decide whether to go the apple cider vinegar route. He said not only has he read the studies, it healed him of his own very bad gerd. Yay!!!

    So I thank him, and I say let me do you a good turn too. You can quit smoking! I showed him the itaste vv with protank attached. He got very excited and says that this looks better than blu. So I get a piece of paper and write down the ecf and casaa websites, as well as th delaware vapor, which is 20 minutes from this hospital. He then made me write down the name of my device and clearomizer, and tells me he is going to try, and he wants to do it right or not at all. He thanked me profusely... we shake hands and part ways, and then I hear someone ask him what he is doing there....He tells them he wasn't scheduled, it was supposed to be his day off but he got called in. Serendipitous?
