Colloidal Minerals

Question: Colloidal Silver or Angstrom Minerals - Which is better? From experience or atleast some knowledge on these supplements - Is one more effecient then the other or are they basically the same?

Answer: And to actually answer your question, they are very similar nutrients, either one will be just as effective in the body. According to http://www.kornax.com/Merchant2/Angstrom_Minerals.htm the Angstrom Minerals are actually similar to Colloidal minerals in the fact that they are almost pure, in a liquid suspension, ionic, and based on small particle size. However, one big difference is listed on http://www.watershed.net/angstrom_minerals2.aspx The Angstrom Minerals seem to have a much higher potency of some of the lesser trace minerals (especially Silver) than may be healthy alone. I can't find a listing of potency for most of their products so I would be careful about taking any of those without taking a closer look. One of the other answers is right in the fact that you need to be careful about how much Silver you take because too much is very bad for you, but the proper amount of Silver is very beneficial for the immune system. As far as the skin turning grey or blue, that only happens if you take too much or use it improperly as most of the "well advertised" cases did. If you'd like more information on that, I've done a lot of research on it that I can send you. It's perfectly safe as long as you use it properly. Good luck!

Question: Any Mary Kay consultants know if colloidal is an ingredient in Timewise oily skin combination or cover-up? I had a terrible reaction to Mary Kay Timewise oily skin & now I'm trying to figure out if colloidal (silver minerals) is in any of these products?? Thanks

Answer: I looked up the product on the EWG database and it does not contain colloidal silver, however, several other ingredients that could have caused your allergic reaction. Mary Kay products are generally ranked a moderate to high hazard, based on the ingredients. I'm including the link, so you can read more about the product and which substances might be responsible for your experience.

Question: What is the difference between ionic silver and colloidal silver? I realise both are suspensions of silver as a mineral supplement - but are they the same thing?

Answer: You know, I was wondering the same thing when a co-worker of mine, also into the healty lifestyle mentioned to me the wonders of Collodial Silver. I started searching the web and came across this site: http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html It explains in full detail the differences between ionic silver solutions , silver protein, and true colloidal silver. If also gives you the results of scientific trials ran on several brand so that you can make an informed decision on which brand to buy.

Question: Does anybody out there know anything about the benefits of colloidal silver? Silver is a mineral and a friend of mind told me that it has lots of benefits. Is this true? I don't think colloidal silver does any harm but, I think there too many different kinds of colloidal silver causing a lot of confusion about the real benefits of silver.

Answer: The toxic scares are overblown and about a few isolated caes. One of the people was drinking massive doses of silver every day for years, and he had turned blue in places. You can get some really good info on this site, including what to look for and the history of silver as an anti-bacterial. http://www.suttonssolutions.com.au/ I've used it and it works really well. To get the benefits, you need to hold it under your tongue for a few minutes. There are a lot of people promoting nano silver now, saying it is also good for viral infections. It is much more expensive. I haven't tried it, but two of the people promoting it are medical doctors with excellent credentials.

Question: Anybody here tried, Colloidal Silver, Miracle Mineral, New Silver Solution, ETC.?

Answer: Colloidal silver is a very powerful bacteriostatic agent that is supposed to be capable of killing 650 pathogens. It is a natural antibiotic. You can find further information in a web search for "colloidal silver" + "health benefits".

Question: Will this stuff boost my immune system? My grandmall was talking about getting colloidal silver, But instead she got multi colloidal minerals, Shes worried about the swine flu and the vaccines. i dont know much about this product or even what it dose. It says dietary on the front. So is this just something for a diet? I have no idea. Please help.. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=multi+colloidal+minerals+&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=multi+colloidal+minerals+&fp=c9fe100d9e542c1e

Answer: Well, it depends on which formulation of Colloidal Minerals. Colloidal Silver is very good for boosting the immune system and some other minerals are very good for overall health, but if you got a formula that wasn't enough Colloidal Silver or too much of the others, it may not be as beneficial as the straight Colloidal Silver for boosting the immune system. The most ideal dosage is typically 10 ppm, which should give around 50 mcg of Silver per dosage... if it has that much, it should be a good option. Without knowing which formulation of the Colloidal Minerals, it would be like asking if a fruit was good enough... information about a combination of anything is pointless without knowing how much of each item is in the combination. I hope I helped!

Question: My cat Moses is FIV positive. Having heart tbl and running temp? He was still eating well, on baby food or canned food. Took him to vet, she put him on lasix-showed a lot of fluid in chest-2days ago. Breathing somewhat better but has temp 103.3. I have him on hawthorne berry and coQ10. I do a lot of herb stuff, have very limited income 2 purchase much more for him. On internet i see 2 things that I was trying to find if anyone has used on FIV cats with any success. One is ES Clear, which is basically essiac tea in potent liquid formula for animals. The other is called Supa Immuno Support by Hampl Natural Medicines for animals. That one has many great things, like maritime pine bark (which I have read many excellent things about), colloidal minerals, mushroom extract, Acemannan (which I have read really good stuff about that as well), selenium, amino acids, garlic, echinacea, etc. I can only purchase one more item, about $30-40 and I want something that may really help him. Plus I am treating a female cat that has 2 tumors on her back leg from vaccines with Paw Paw, and was figuring whatever I get for Moses, I could give them both.

Answer: I would start by feeding your cat fresh fish and get away from all processed foods. James Wellbeloved is an organic dry cat food, but you can't substitute Fresh Fish with maybe luke warm milk to bring out the calcium. To reduce the temperature, the best remedy I have found is Herbalife Lifeline, which is a high quality, bit like the Rolls Royce of Fish Oils. Herbalife Lifeline contains properties that somehow reduce any inflammation and fever in a cat. Sometimes, 3 capsules will show an enormous difference, but it is not cheap and you need to get it through a distributor. The cheap version is cod liver oil and since you already give all those other minerals, maybe that would suffice. If your cat would eat live yoghurt, that may help also. As to the other cat with the tumours. Sounds nasty, but perhaps gentle massage with warm cloth may help. If it is from a vaccine, obviously the liquid of the vaccine has not dissolved and somehow you need to soften that up. There is a cream made of chamomile, which name escapes me or perhaps some aloe vera gel, if she lets you apply that to her leg. Sounds like you are having a hard time with it all. I hope this will provide some further insight. Thumbs up for the natural medicines. Seems you are taking all the right precautions. It seems your other cat may benefit from those herbs also.

Question: Colloidal Silver for Viral Ear Infection - Is it safe? Hi guys. I have done extensive research in colloidal silver but am so confused becuase so many sites say different things. Commonly, it says if you take this daily for many years, you will turn blue (argyria). Another says you HAVE to take it daily otherwise infection returns due to silver deficiency in your body, etc etc etc! But i want to know does anyone know where to get a True Colloidal Silver or Ionic Silver Drops for ears to cure a viral inner ear infection that causes dizziness almost everyday consistency. Also, what is PPM? Is the less the ppm the better or more the better? I got this extract from a site, is it safe? "Sovereign silver is a uniquely refined mineral product of the highest purity and consistency. It is the most dynamic form of supplemental trace silver available. Particle size is 0.0006 to 0.003 microns and a total dispersion suggests 100% bio-availability." Is the VERY small particle size a good thing and extremely safe? Plz any help. Thanks

Answer: You are right that it can turn you blue. We don't really need that in our diets. For that ear infection you need to go see an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat doctor). PPM - parts per million. The more PPM, means the more solute or product in the solution. So in this case, the more PPM is more true silver, so better. Honestly, it's more risky to take the colloidal silver than it is to not do it. I really recommend going to an otolaryngologist.

Question: Are liquid vitamin & mineral supplements better for us than vitamin & mineral pills? Internet marketers and MLM distributors like to promote liquid vitamin & mineral formulas and claim that colloidal, sub-colloidal and now micro-colloidal liquid formulas are far easier for the body to absorb than multi-vit & mineral tablets? Is there any truth in this, or is a liquid formula just another over-hyped "snake oil"? Tell me more about your experience with them. Tablets become liquid when digested in the gastro-intestinal tract (or gut if you prefer).Surely they will then absorb quickly after they are liquefied? And what about the so-called natural ingredients mined from primeval forests discovered in Utah, then turned into liquid form by the Dead Doctor story-teller's company? Are they any better than the "artificial" synthesized ingredients in tablets?

Answer: The absorption rate will obviously be quicker with the liquid form but the content is the same whether in liquid or pill form.

Electrolytes Electrolytes support the healthy electrical integrity of the body's natural colloidal systems, including the blood itself. They impart a negative charge to the red blood cells, separating them to restore their maximum functioning. Calcium: Builds and maintains bones and teeth; helps blood to clot; aids vitality and endurance; regulates heart rhythm. Without sufficient calcium, nerves cannot send messages and therefore cause tension. Calcium also maintains the delicate acid-alkaline body balanced (ph). Chromium: is a trace mineral that may help stabilize blood sugar. Chromium enables the body to burn sugar, providing energy while preventing damage to blood vessels and organs. Cobalt: Stimulant to production of read blood cells; component of vitamin B12; necessary for normal graowht and appetite. Copper: Necessary for absorption and utilization of iron; formation of red blood cells and connective tissue. Fluorine: An element that helps protect teeth from decay. Hydrogen: Plays a vital role in the electron transport chain. It builds cells, and if left unmodulated, makes them hard and brittle. These effects are balanced by the action of oxygen. Hydrogen is needed by the body to build

Answer: JUST FINISH YOU ANTI BIOTICS AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE THE OTHER STUFF JUST TO BE SAFE YOU CAN HAVE A CHEMICAL REACTION.

Question: If nutritional supplements are "dangerous", then where are the bodies? A counter-question to Dave question. (OMNS, January 19, 2010) There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin. Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John's wort, valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines, ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, melatonin, or any homeopathic remedies. Furthermore, there were zero deaths in 2008 from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, colloidal silver, selenium, iron, or multi-mineral supplements. Two children died as a result of medical use of the antacid sodium bicarbonate. The other "Electrolyte and Mineral" category death was due to a man accidentally drinking sodium hydroxide, a highly toxic degreaser and drain-opener. No man, woman or child died from nutritional supplements. Period. http://orthomolecul ar.org/subscribe .html http://orthomolecul ar.org/resources /omns/index. shtml

Answer: Dave? . "homeopathy was responsible for over 500 hospitalizations in that year" ????? You mean 500 hospitalizations from ingesting water? 500 hospitalizations from placebo effect? If homeopathic remedies have "nothing" in them as you claim, you are contradicting yourself. edit: Dave, I checked out the references and cannot find what you are referring to. Do you have the exact page it is on or link? Thanks Edit: Dave, on page 929 I did find a chart that showed a 1.5% of incidents (which includes telephone calls) to the Poison Control regarding children ingesting Vitamins/Dietary/Homeopathy, (kids will pop just about anything into their mouths and their parents naturally call Poison Control....parents call Poison Control even if their kid gnaws on a dog bisquit) but I cannot find where Homeopathy is sorted out from the others and specifically resulting in hospitalization. Page please? Thanks.
