Hi, when you use colloidal silver to get rid of a cold (drops or spray up nose etc.) do you still get immune to that specific strain of cold virus the same way you do if you actually GOT the cold and your body fought it off? For example while you're using the silver is your body also fighting the virus so you become immune.
I am wondering if say someone at my work has a cold and I start getting it too, and I use the silver and the cold goes away. The next week someone at my house gets the same cold virus, would I start coming down with the same one again because my body didnt actually do the fighting because the silver killed all the germs? I want to use it but I dont want to keep fighting the same cold every time I'm around someone who has it, i'd rather get the cold once and be done with it.. if that makes sense.
If you are reacting to an infection using colloidal silver, your bodies immune system will have been exposed to the infection and will build immunities to it. In this case the colloidal silver is just speeding things along.
However, if you take colloidal silver every day, the infection may never register with the immune system and you wouldn't build up any immunity.
I seem to remember several people mentioning that after taking colloidal silver every day for an extended period of time, they caught a cold upon stopping the daily intake. You will have to check up on this.
I agree with Silver Fox. Colloidal silver will likely speed recovery but it will not prevent you body from having its own immune response. Regular use of colloidal silver does not result in the body itself having any natural immunity but it may provide immunity itself so long as it is present. For what its worth, I don't believe in daily prolonged use of colloidal (or ionic) silver, but rather believe that it works best with perhaps occasional use and use when needed. In my opinion, all supplements should be used therapeutically when needed but one should be careful to not rely too much on supplements on a regular basis (or at least take breaks now and then) so that the body is allowed to perform as it is naturally designed to do.
