also sell colloidal silver products for you to take. The alternative health industry has lots of contradictions like that. Buyer beware with all health claims from internet websites. Just because a site says it's about "natural" products doesn't mean that its products are necessarily good for you. Lots of them simply aren't, or are useless.

Colloidal silver is a health fad of long-standing. It's bogus.
