Colloidal silver definitely has antibacterial/viral properties. The colloidal part is a fluid suspension, which can be taken orally or topically.

Doctors still use silver nitrate in babies eyes.

Cast iron leaches iron. Which is also necessary for good health. I'm not sure about it's virus and microbe killing effect. but I suspect not. Cooking of course kills virus due to heat.

Interesting how thought patterns change. I was on my way to a weekly card game with a near empty tank. Typically I would fill up on my way as the station is on that side of street. Due to handling of the pumps, then 52 cards for four hours, I waited until I was on my home where I could immediately wash up.

I fortunately have ready access to food handler's gloves. I put one on to pump gas, and trash it at the station before I leave. I can't think of anyplace more germ-ridden then a gas station pump handle (other than their bathrooms) that I willing venture into.

I have been using Colloidal silver for years....

When ever I feel a sore throat coming on, Ill gargle some a couple of times a day and it seems to help...

Back when I could, I would swig a table spoon of cider vinegar in a couple of fingers of warm water, with a swish of honey in it, then a couple of drops of colloidal silver in a 20 ounce bottle of water when the symptoms of a cold or scratchy throat showed up.

Can't do the acidic stuff anymore, but the colloidal silver helps keep my immune system a notch higher. During the current mess, I've upped the dosage to 6 drops of 250 ppm to a 20 ounce bottle of water.

I found some apple cider vinegar tablets at Sams Club that I now take instead of trying to swallow a small cup of vinegar laced water. It goes down much smoother and seems to be just as effective. Since my near death experience with pneumonia a few years back, I have had persistent lung and sinus issues. The apple cider vinegar has done more to help with that than any medications I have taken. I am now medication free.

I cannot tolerate anything acidic now, for my bladder's sake. Yes, TMI, but the pain isn't worth the benefit.

Now, if I could just shake this need for insulin, I'd be medication free also.
