Colloidal Silver May Be Able To Give You A health Boost

Silver colloidal is one of the world's growing health trends this year; in fact a lot of online and local health food stores carry products that have silver colloidal in them. Silver colloidal usually comes in a form of a liquid or suspension. The microscopic particles of silver are manufactured with pure or distilled water in a controlled environment. There is such a vast body of medical and individual reports on its effectiveness in killing bacteria over such a long period of time that it would be very difficult not to take the potential beneficial effects of this material seriously.

Very little is precisely known about how the silver colloid manages to kill bacteria, whether it is because the particles are electrically charged and attach to the bacteria and compete with sites that would normally attach to and impair the function of the CD4 cells in the body's immune system, or maybe they interact with the microorganism's enzyme systems and control its growth or reproduction capabilities, it is not certain. But whatever the mechanism by which the silver colloid is effective there is a vast amount of data, much of which has come from professional or medical sources, that Silver colloidal can be exceptionally effective in controlling infection and relieving or sharing the load on the immune system during infectious episodes.
