Answer 1

Silver has been used extensively to disinfect external wounds, it is also used as internal bits and pieces. Including cardiac devices, catheters and many others. Silver is used extensively. Historically it was used to store milk and other perishable liquids to extend it's life. Oral silver was used to treat internal ailments from epilepsy, gonorrhea and the common cold. More recently electrolytically dissolved silver it has been used as a water disinfectant, called colloidal.

The typical alternative medicines use colloidal silver preparations which primarily deliver inactive metallic silver, rather than the active microbicidal silver ion. And it is still legal to sell the products in the United States, but after 1999 the FDA banned suppliers from marketing them as preventative or health claims.There is no current scientific bases of the benefit of ingesting colloidal silver. The side effects from silver is relative from person to person, with minor side effects of headaches, stomach distress, fatigue, and skin irritation or more seriously of some isolated reports of serious neurological (such as seizures), renal, or hepatic complication. iI's safe to ingest silver in occasional and small doses but extended and large amounts can cause complications.
