Silver has anti-microbial properties when used topically.

When ingested it can turn you blue.

Kinda like how you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean a cut but probably shouldn't drink it unless you want to go blind.

Yea, I personally believe it has minimal antimicrobial properties but he's set so much that he drinks the stuff daily.

Says he started a couple decades ago because it cured some nasty sores in his mouth that the doctors could not. Cites that NASA uses it and that the FDA just wants to hide it from the public. Sounds sketchy.

Colloidal silver is 100% pseudoscientific bullshit, up there with acupuncture and chiropractic shit.

It's used in bandages because it does kill bacteria.

There is minor data showing it can help with things like mouth sores. It would be just as effective, if not more so, for him to use an anti-microbial mouthwash. Also less risky with regards to the whole "turning blue" and unknown/unregulated side effects.

You're thinking of methanol dumdum. That's what makes you go blind. Isopropanol metabolizes to acetone. Which does not cause blindness

google argyria and download some pics to show him

Oh. He insists that only occurs if you guzzle it down, but he's been doing it for 20 years!

Why don't boomers ever seem to suffer from their actions?

If he's dead set on silver specifically show him data and/or explain how heavy metals aren't really processed well by living organisms and that's why it's anti-microbial. If he's open to alternative medicine shit generally, garlic does the same shit and doesn't turn you blue, and if he just wants to ingest dissolved jewelry amber won't build up in the body.

it has antibacterial properties, so yeah it can help with some certain conditions. not all problems are caused by bacteria, you could just fix everything with antibiotics if that was the case, lol. also antibiotics are more effective than silver when used internally

Why don't newfags know how to reply to people?

It takes a 10 second search to figure this shit out you fucking retard.

So I looked into this a while ago. It will kill microbes and all that but it will also permanently tattoo you blue. So there’s that. Some dude on dr oz is fully blue because he has been drinking this for years.

If i'm ever constipated I spray a small amount of silver water in my mouth and it softens my shit immediately

Have more respect for your based sounding grandpa, anon. I saved a puppy dying from Parvo with water enema, colloidal silver dosing, and affection.

>why yes, i do regularly ingest heavy metals, how could you tell?

Had one of my buddies. Smart guy, very smart and informative as much as he is informed and stays informed of stuff. I remember despite his engineering endeavours his pride was his ability to make different sorts of colloidal silvers, pastes etc. He was a sex addict and perhaps slept around too much. When you’d go into his room you’d see bunches of colloidals and some he used to perhaps inject. He swore by it. He never talked much about it as engineering and building. All you had to say what’s that. He’d just quickly say colloidal. And not get too in depth.

He’d consume colloidal then turn on his high powered Tesla coils that would make some of his neighbors panic. Some would even question him what was it that he was doing.

Why would you do this to yourself?

>>11081099
He said it was better than coffee or red bulls in the mornings. Perhaps it’s the massive smell of ozone. Maybe a placebo effect maybe not.

Why they turn you into a Smurf?
