Not come across these sites before Lon? This crowd is a member of the medical and orthodox science apologists club. The catch cry is heard: Free thinkers need not apply. If it is new, unusual and anecdotal it cannot work. The word of the FDA is infallible...and so on.
They exist as a counter balance to the wild and irresponsible claims of a part of the alt health brigade, and as such can be ignored.

Thanks, Lon Colloidal silver is being touted as a "natural universal antibiotic." It is also said to (guess what) "enhance the immune system" (which seems to have become the universal claim for contemporary quackery!). Promoters claim colloidal silver is useful for HIV/AIDS, cancer, herpes, candidasis, stap h & strep infections, shingles, TB, diabetes, as an antiparasitic medication, and more. The FDA is not aware of any substantial evidence which demonstrates that colloidal silver solution is useful to prevent or treat any serious condition, or that it is safe. The substance has not been proved safe or effective. FDA warns that the indiscriminate use of colloidal silver solutions can result in argyria which includes a permanent ashen-gray discoloration of the skin.
