There is a fairly scathing analysis of colloidal silver's effectiveness at
Quackwatch.com. Quackwatch is an excellent resource.

Here is a story about a woman who was prescribed colloidal silver in the
fifties. She is now an outspoken opponent of it. Take a look at her and
you'll see why.

FWIW I am a biochemist and the healing properties of silver are indeed
"news" to me too. I wouldn't waste your money on these products, which seem
to be in the same category as magnetic insoles.

Read the links, they are very interesting.

Cheers,
Matt
