RE: Colloidal Silver Is Antibacterial, Antiviral, and Safe Treatment for Pink Eye
"We'll continue to share our first hand experience with this product, historical testimonials, and hundreds of scientific studies that have proven the efficacy and safety of colloidal silver--we have compiled far too much research to release in a single post or comment."
Well a web page with all those scientific studies you've compiled could be shared in one link. Do you have one?
@gardenofeden - you do know that a good number of these links you've posted say that the use of silver is unsubstantiated and not safe, right? Just trying to impress us with the volume of links you've collected? And many of them aren't even about silver.
Here's the first thing that pops up on the NIH link you posted. You are literally making my case for me.
https://nccih.nih.gov/health/silver
Colloidal silver isn't endorsed because there is no solid evidence that it is safe or effective. Why did you provide the link if it says the opposite of what you are trying to convince me of?
That link is from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. If anyone is going to endorse something that Big Pharma doesn't have their hand in it would be them.

From this study you linked, here's the conclusion paragraph in the abstract.
"The interactions of inorganic nanoparticles with biosystems are just beginning to be understood, and potential applications are being discovered at an increasing rate. However, in order to realize the future promise of nanoscience, it is imperative that the toxicity and long-term health effects of exposure to nanomaterials be fully explored. "
