Hi!
My boyfriends' mom gave me a bottle of colloidal silver and asked me to make it into a soap. For those of you who have never heard or used liquid silver, it CLAIMS to boost your immune system while being an anti bacterial, super fungus busting, overall health booster.
NOW, before we get any deeper into the claims of liquid silver lets get something straight.... I am by NO means a silver pusher. Personally, I am a skeptic. However, I will say that I have taken it a few times on an on set of a cold and by either luck or the silver gods, I did not get sick after taking it. Let's also not forget the news story that happened last year about a man who took so much silver over the course of a year that his skin turned blue and had a pretty serious case of silver poisoning. That being said, I started to look around on the web for silver bars and found quite a few claiming lofty, beneficial properties. Again, I take this with a grain of salt but who am I to judge since I've never tried it!
OK so now that we've got the disclaimer out of the way, has anyone ever tried one or made one? If it has been done successfully without any strange side effects, would you recommend it?
Here are my concerns: I worry about allergic reactions, it's reaction to lye, the amount of silver to actually make it a beneficial product, the amount of silver it would take to make it a dangerous product, and if it could go rancid.
I'm not particularly ready to dive into such a project, this is more of a theoretical discussion. I'd love to hear what the community has to say about this! And if you are a super silver fan, I want to hear from you!!! I'm on the fence with silver for health, convince me!
And at worst, we could use them to ward off vampires
(True Blood fans anyone?)
