<< For
 instance, many believe that CS alone is a fine treatment for acne.  However,
 some of us believe quite the opposite.  In cases of true acne, the problem
 is not in the skin, but the liver.  CS in distilled water disturbs the PH
 balance of the skin, and therefore acts as an irritant to normal tissue that
 is inflamed.  The benefit of colloidal silver ( in it's "ionic" state )
 lasts for about thirty seconds.  The residual silver left on/in the tissue
 is not a sufficient quantity to continue to kill replicating bacteria, and
 the PH balance remains disturbed.  In my experience, three out of three
 people with chronic acne experienced no improvement and increased
 irritation, using three different types of colloidal silver.  However,
 colloidal silver used internally may certainly have a positive benefit on
 the condition. >>


After reading so many reports of how cs helped acne, I just suggested that my 
daughter try it yesterday.  Now the above statement really has me puzzeled.  
Could it depend on whether it is really acne or just a few pimples. Are acne 
and a few pimples different with different causes and cures?  Were the people 
who had success with cs refering to a few pimples or to real acne?
