I have two questions concerning Colloidal Silver. The first question deals with immunity and CS. I know from experience and research that heavy use of antibiotics results in a compromised immune system. The immune system comes to depend heavily on the antibiotics to fight disease and soon the antibiotics become necessary to fight off even the simplest of germs. Does this happen with CS? Why or why not?
I have heard comments from several friends about colloidal silver having a shelf life or losing its potency. A friend that has made CS for years states that towards the end of his bottle (8 ounces) he can tell the CS is not as potent anymore, like it has lost its charge. He notices that it is not as effective. A friend that owns an herb shop says the CS is susceptible to light and must be in a dark glass container and must be handled carefully. I have read online that the CS does NOT need to be in a dark or amber colored glass. My question is.. Does CS have a shelf life? How long is it? What things besides freezing effect CS? Why would CS become "contaminated" and not useful anymore? If CS kills whatever germs it comes into contact with, how could CS possibly get contaminated by a Q-tip or cotton ball coming into contact with it? I have searched online for these answers and I will have to tell you the information out there is varied and contradictive. I value the opinions and findings of the many learned people here on list. Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer. Lori -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
