...one on his list has been ripped to shreds by medical science...
Colloidal silver isn't considered safe or effective for any of the health claims manufacturers make.
However, no sound scientific studies to evaluate these health claims have been published in reputable medical journals. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has taken action against some manufacturers of colloidal silver products for making unproven health claims.
Silver has no known purpose in the body....
Nor is it an essential mineral, as some sellers of silver products claim.
The medical uses of silver include its use in wound dressings, creams, and as an antibiotic coating on medical devices. Wound dressings containing silver sulfadiazine or silver nanomaterials may be used on external infections. The limited evidence available shows that silver coatings on endotracheal breathing tubes may reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. There is tentative evidence that using silver-alloy indwelling catheters for short-term catheterizing will reduce the risk of catheter-acquired urinary tract infections.
Silver generally has low toxicity, and minimal risk is expected when silver is used in approved medical applications. Alternative medicine products such as colloidal silver are not safe or effective.
The use of metal nanoparticles provides an interesting opportunity for novel antiviral therapies. Since metals may attack a broad range of targets in the virus there is a lower possibility to develop resistance as compared to conventional antivirals. The present review focuses on the development of methods for the production of silver nanoparticles and on their use as antiviral therapeutics against pathogenic viruses.
Virus infections pose significant global health challenges, especially in view of the fact that the emergence of resistant viral strains and the adverse side effects associated with prolonged use continue to slow down the application of effective antiviral therapies. This makes imperative the need for the development of safe and potent alternatives to conventional antiviral drugs. In the present scenario, nanoscale materials have emerged as novel antiviral agents for the possibilities offered by their unique chemical and physical properties. Silver nanoparticles have mainly been studied for their antimicrobial potential against bacteria, but have also proven to be active against several types of viruses including human imunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, herpes simplex virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and monkey pox virus.

There is a good documentary I saw and I don't remember where. About the 'war' that took place about 100 yrs ago between the "allopaths" and the "naturopaths/holistic".
Allopaths obviously won the war. But it was interesting and made you think.

I think I saw that! I saw something like that... might not have been the same one. But yes, it sure made me think.
I read a fascinating book once about a similar "war" in the Renaissance Age between the wise women with their herbs and tonics and potions, and the men of "learning" who knew better. The men won.

Thanks for the great info...
I've always hung onto my grandfather's coin collection just in case the SHTF. It's only silver coins though...wish there was some gold. But now I have another possible use for it and will keep your advisement about ensuring it gets to whatever infection site in mind.

I remember, 100 yrs ago, both allopathic medicine and nature based medicine were considered valid and equal.

And think about this... How many people will use one of the oldest and trusted natural medicine in this oh-so-modern pandemic: Vicks! Simple menthol, camphor and eucalyptus essential oils in petroleum jelly (aka Vaseline).
It's calming. It's soothing. It's healing.
I love me some Vicks when I have a chest cold.

I don't think it helped that the wise women got a tarnished reputation for all the poisonings that were going on.
He, of course, doesn’t claim this is any prescription for stopping the virus but only a scientifically proven way to powerfully enhance the immune system. He gives the studies and the particular elements in the supplement that works to enhance the immune system.
