How to Prevent Problems From Colloidal Silver



Colloidal silver has been used as a medical treatment since the 8th Century. Today proponents suggest that colloidal silver may benefit people with diseases, such as cancer, tuberculosis, syphilis, herpes and prostate enlargement. Unfortunately, the use of colloidal silver has potentially harmful side effects.









1


Observe your skin for a bluish-gray tinge, indicative of a disease known as argyria. While this condition is not treatable, you can prevent further damage by ceasing use of colloidal silver.





2


Monitor your kidneys for signs of dysfunction, such as metallic taste in mouth, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, shortness of breath and back pain. Colloidal silver has been associated with kidney problems.





3


Notice any changes in digestion including stomach ache, nausea and vomiting. While improved digestion is purported to be one of the benefits of colloidal silver, it can also hinder your digestion.





4


Track frequency of headaches. If you start getting more headaches than usual, you may be experiencing side effects of colloidal silver.





5


Know that one of the potential side effects of colloidal silver is seizures. Seek medical attention immediately if you've experienced a seizure while taking colloidal silver.





6


Use extreme caution if you are taking certain drugs, such as penacillamine, quinolones, tetracyclines and thyroxine. Colloidal silver may interfere with the effectiveness of these drugs.








Tips & Warnings










Notify all of your doctors that you are taking colloidal silver.








Take the minimum amount of colloidal silver possible. Increased amounts lead to increased risks.
