I've never used it but I just saw an add for new curad bandaid with 'active silver' in the pads as an antibacterial and to aid in healing so if something mainstream is picking it up, it must work!

I have used it.<br><br>
It was at one time the treatment of choice for tuberculosis.<br><br>
It worked for me o.k.<br><br>
A caveat: if you take too much over a long period of time, it can actually change your skin color to "blue", permanently! This actually happened to a Montana or Idaho legislator.<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/biglaugh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="laugh">::LOL No, his name is not "Papa Smurf".<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/ROTFLMAO.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="rotflmao"><br><br>
