The particles of silver are small enough to penetrate and destroy pathogens such as bacteria, fungal spores, parasites, and viruses. Its natural antibiotic, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties make it perfect to for both humans and animals.

Colloidal silver can be an inexpensive, holistic alternative to some antibiotics or steroids. It may be effective against up to 650 viral and bacterial organisms. Below are a few of the most common uses.
Infections
Colloidal silver can be used on bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Studies from Syracuse University and the UCLA School of Medicine show that colloidal silver can even be effective against conditions that have become resistant to antibiotics while there are no reports of resistance to silver solutions.

Apply colloidal silver directly to the skin to help with ringworm, cuts, wounds, and burns. It is soothing on the skin and assists in repairing tissue damage.
