Q:
Is it safe to give a baby (she's 6 months old) colloidal silver?

A:
Hi Samantha,
Unless there is some therapeutic purpose for a short time, such as a virus or infection, I would limit any regular silver use until a child is at least 1-1/2 or 2 years. It’s not that it is harmful; in fact it is probably the least toxic of all metals, but silver kills all one-celled organisms, including colon flora. Without proper amounts of colon bacteria, food will not digest and absorb properly and a baby’s digestive system simply is not as developed or resilient as an adult. If a child or adult is using silver therapeutically, always take Probiotics and Acidophilus or eat live culture yogurt an hour or two after silver consumption.
Thanks for the question,
Ben
