Do you/ have you used colloidal silver?? Opinions??

Hi mamas

I have been using colloidal silver for a couple years for this and that. I have always found it to be very effective against infection. The only downside being it gives the ladies yeast infections, so we are sure to consume lots of probiotics.

I am just wondering if any of you other mamas have used it before, and maybe noticed some side effects?

I don't think it's anything to be concerned about... I think it is a completely diff situation that has me concerned, I just thought it would be helpful to get some feedback from others who use it/have used it.

So any input is very much appreciated!

Personally I don't use it. I feel it kills too much (good and bad) and I don't like that in my body. If I have an infection, I would prefer gentle herbs and/or clay. Homeopathy is great too, but don't ask me a specific remedy as I would wait for the need to decide which one to use.

Can you recommend some herbs that perform the same function as an antibiotic?

First it isn't always the same for what we are dealing with. Like lyme disease, people take abx for that, but teasel root works to kill the lyme, but is safe and gentle to the rest of the body.

Garlic is great internally, dandelion strengthens the liver so one can deal with whatever is happening more effectively. Several teaspoons of clay per day helps to flush out toxins.

If dealing with topical infection, honey is great, breastmilk, plantain...

I remembered in a previous thread you were dealing with a lymph infection. How is it going with that?
Have you tried apple cider vinegar or applying lavender oil directly?
Are you taking extra vit C?

(sorry if I don't answer right away as I am moving and internet is getting shut of very soon and I may not have access for a few days...)
