What Kind of Acid Is Found in Colloidal Silver?
- There are three types of colloidal silver: ionic silver, silver protein and true colloidal silver.
- Colloidal silver particles absorb light by blocking the light from passing through, making the liquid appear darker. Colloidal silver has high levels of electric conductivity and low pH levels.
- Silver has been used as a natural antibiotic for thousands of years. Silver kills more than 650 different disease organisms. An antibiotic kills only about six types of disease organisms. Silver is nontoxic.
Colloidal silver can be used to treat various ailments, including respiratory infections, balanitis, yeast infections, cellulitis, bronchitis, sinus infections, and colds and flu, and can help relieve symptoms of hepatitis C. - Silver sulfadiazine is used in hospital burn units to prevent bacterial infections in burn patients. Bandages saturated with silver particles can speed the healing of wounds.
- True colloidal silver has no acid, only water and silver particles. It is also more resistant to breakdown by stomach acids. All true colloidal silver has ionic silver present in it.
- New studies are being done to observe the effects of colloidal silver mixed with various types of acids. One idea is to mix the colloidal silver with citric acid to increase the health benefits of the antibiotic. The use of silver nitrate solutions can lead to the formation of nitric acid.
