If you have evidence from the scientific literature showing that silver taken internally works as an antibiotic, I, the FDA, and the medical and scientific community would love to see it.<br /><br />Like alcohol, clorox, peroxide, ect., silver is a disinfectant that kills many pathogens on contact which is why there are approved topical drugs that contain it. They have been used in hospital burn units for decades. But there are no approved silver drugs intended to be taken internally because silver is not an antibiotic. Desperate people tried using it that way before the advent of antibiotics. It didn't work although it discolored many.<br /><br />And in spite of the fact that silver is a disinfectant I know several scientists who have tested many brands of CS, including the homemade kind, and found that none killed any common bacteria in test tubes meaning that none even worked as disinfectants.

I ha...Excuse me but you are jumping to conclusions. I have no objections whatsoever to people choosing their own remedies or doctors as long as they don’t ask me to help pickup the tab for treatment when they injure themselves. I have never wanted silver supplements banned and don’t think that anyone could do that with a substance so easy to obtain anyway.<br /><br />However, I want to educate the public. I want to give them information that includes references so that they can review them and draw their own conclusions. And I do want anyone who sells silver, or any unregulated remedy, who makes claims about its safety and efficacy prosecuted for fraud in advertising if they are unable to present solid objective evidence showing that their claims are accurate. I have been asking silver promoters for over twenty years for their evidence showing that their claims of safety and efficacy are true. So far they haven’t given me any. One admitted that they don’t have any. If you have objective evidence that can be independently verified, as opposed to testimonials, regarding the safety and efficacy of silver or any other dietary supplement, please give me your references. <br /><br />If you study the history of civilization or do genealogical research, you will see that our ancestors, as well as people alive today who don’t have access to evidence-based medicine, suffer and die from diseases that are routinely treated by those who practice scientific medicine.

There are people who wouldn't be alive without natural medicine. I happen to love someone who is in that position. He actually had to leave the US to be treated because of big pharma and people like you who want regulations to dictate and restrict what people can choose to treat themselves with! All medicinal substances either main stream accepted or natural or experimental should be available to all people for use!!! All substances can be overused and abused or imperfectly manufactured!! Why be so bitter and try to prevent people from having access to any substance they choose to use???? Why not just make sure you don't use that substance and let others do as they see fit?? We should each have the ability to prescribe our own treatment and go buy it. Evidence based studies show colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic!
