Is It Safe To Buy Colloidal Silver Online

By Allyson Burke


The internet is a great place to buy supplements. As long as you are willing to do the research, there is no reason not to buy colloidal silver online. It is important to realize that posted information is not necessarily true, complete, or up-to-date. However, many reputable companies offer their products on the web, either directly or through online distributors.

Proceed with caution, just as you should in any of your life decisions. Remember all those TV ads from lawyers asking if you suffered damage from one of the recalled pharmaceutical drugs. Think about the lipstick and toys that contained lead, the dog food that was poison to pets, or the toxic peanut butter that was put into food even though the producer was aware of the problem. The health food industry is no different. Whenever there is money to be made, unscrupulous people will try to cheat consumers.

So what are you to do? You can ask your doctor, if he or she is knowledgeable about holistic matters. You can consult a naturopath, who is a doctor trained in natural healing. Many midwives are learned enough to recommend products and manufacturers. You can read books by recognized authorities, many of whom will be medical doctors who have broadened their protocol to include natural healing.

You'll need to understand what exactly colloidal silver is and how it works. By definition, the supplement is a liquid with suspended particles of the pure, precious metal. There are other silver products - ionic and proteins - that might claim to be as effective and as safe, but there's little scientific support for that (if any). The colloidal suspension kills single-cell pathogens like bacteria and fungi, as does a pharmaceutical antibiotic.

This metal has been used as a healing agent for centuries in one form or another. Suspending particles in a solution is a relatively modern way of administering the metal for its healing properties. Many people swear by it and use it both topically and internally. As when using an antibiotic, remember that beneficial bacteria in your gut might need to be replenished.

As with any supplement, you should check several sources to find out if experts agree on the beneficial nature of the product and if there are any warnings attached to its use. You need to be careful that the information you are reading is not really a cleverly worded advertisement. The internet makes it possible to actually read the results of research, if you want to make the effort.

One way to be safe is to rely on well-known companies that have a track record of purity, potency, and quality control. A few years ago L-tryptophan, a popular relaxation aid, was withdrawn from the market after several consumers had problems. It turned out not to be the active ingredient but the filler that one obscure producer had used to make their tablets. This kind of mistake is rare with manufacturers that have earned the respect of the industry. Many brand-name supplements can be found at discount distributors online.

It can be both safe and economical to buy colloidal silver online. Just be sure that you can trust the producer and that you are ordering the real thing, not a cheap imitation.
