Due to the focus on having a more sterile gut in the Peat community, I would think colloidal silver would get more attention. The general claims describe it as an antibiotic able to kill bacteria without harming other cells.
A few questions for our discussion:
Why is colloidal silver safe to ingest? Are we just taking it in quantities so small we do not notice its toxicity? Why does this have a lower chance of absorption than other heavy metals we ingest? What about the side effects often listed by colloidal silver opponents?
Another claim is that it works just on "single celled pathogens" - which doesn't make sense because most bacteria (especially in the gut) effective at affecting health create biofilms (allowing them the defenses of larger organisms and more).
Thoughts?
