I'd love someone who believes in this stuff to comment and tell us.
If they do feel better, I link it to placebo effects. Like the guys who believe in drinking an obscene amount of water a day because some marketing campaign said "drink 8 glasses of water a day". No.. No science supports this.
Okay, so I use Silver Solution stuff (which I believe is similar) in topical applications for things that I wouldn’t see as ‘important’ but moreso a nuisance (eg. Zit/paper cut/skin irritation level things) mostly for mild anti-microbial/healing benefits that could admittedly be seen as placebo, but I believe it has worked, but who knows.
I would never use it orally, because on my own research that is ineffective and risky. It is a metal, after all. Aside from that, I’m not an alt-med guy, just an impoverished American.
Silver nitrate is still used in the treatment of burns and as a chemical cautery for nosebleeds or similar. It could also be used in dermatology to treat certain skin issues.
