Medicinal Question

I own a beautiful plant full of resin, but I gave her colloidal silver a couple of times (not spraying on her, feeding). I think I can't consume the plant, but what if I make some alcohol with it? Of course not for consumption, just for external use because my gandma suffers a lot of pain in the knees. I want to know if the colloidal silver will do some harm on her if I make this alcohol.

Thanks!
 
Mate ... people eat colloidal silver because they think it protects them from cancer. if too much is eaten the person develops blue skin! but they don't get sick or die. so you should be right to try whatever you want. cheers!
 
You can still get Silver poisoning from rubbing on the skin. Colodial Silvers chemical composition allows it to be absorbed through the dermal layer. I would avoid this especially since you fed it silver you have no idea is the levels that are in that plant
 
Hi,I I just goggle colloidal silver on the web and I have to ask why would u water your plant with It? The only thing I can come up with is it’s a antifungel ?
 
Collodial silver in too high of levels will cause kidney shutdown and partial blindness. Especially at night. You basically go blind at night.
 
I have taken colloidal silver and applied it to wounds, taken it sublingually without any negative effects. It was sold for this purpose. Perhaps the concentration is different?
 
The most common health effects associated with prolonged exposure to silver are the development of a characteristic, irreversible pigmentation of the skin (argyria) and/or the eyes (argyrosis). The affected area becomes bluish-gray or ash gray and is most prominent in areas of the body exposed to sunlight (Shelley et al., 1987; ATSDR, 1990; Gulbranson et al., 2000). Argyria and argyrosis have been reported during placement of silver-containing solid materials into the skin or body (Espinal et al., 1996); inhalation in occupational settings (Barrie and Harding, 1947; Rosenman et al., 1979); and from the use of colloidal silver and silver-containing medicinals (Fung and Bowen, 1996;
 
Actually it wasn't on purpose. When I was spraying only one branch , the colloidal silver dropped several times into the soil so....
 
My moms an LPN. Stands for Liscensed Practitioning Nurse. Been one for 30 Years. Seen It all.

My Grandmother is an RN at at The VA been a nurse for 50 years.

My moms twin is also a nurse but she does internal medicine study now at the university of New Zeeland.

My aunt Is also a PA. Physician's Assistant. Baisically a doctor.

I come from a medical backgrounded family.

All I know cuz I'm pretty sure this is your third seperate post on the Forum asking the same thing. You seem like you're going to go for it either way. Like I said you have no idea what you did to that plant
 
I am not doubting what you are saying is true. Is there a threshold for these negative effects? A concentration that is hazardous? The internal dose I have taken was 50mcg a few times daily for a week or 2 at a time without ill effects.

Inhalation hazard is far different than oral or topical.
Thanks for sharing your input.

At 125 LBS 1 teaspoon of 10 PPM a day of silver is considered safe, from what I've gathered.

I don't know if you can find out the levels of silver in the plant without sending it to a lab to be tested.

How man times did you apply it? Did you dilute at all? If so how much at what concentration?

Knowing that I would examine how much would/could be present. It sounds minimal but only you know that.
 
There is silver in medical products like anti-infection burn treatment or treatment for MRSA. Its actually a common tool in western medicine. Just kept quiet because you can't profit from it like other pharmaceuticals and would put a wrench in the works for those that profit from antibiotics.
The people that make it at home with subpar practices and consume large quantities run risk of side effects. Otherwise quite safe in my experience.
 
I just read a few scientific journals about Silver's absorption through the skin. Apparently it does soak through the lowest level of skin but at a nanoparticle level they find it not to be dangerous used this way. But this again all goes to closely tested scientific studies. They were using much more control doses.

Even though it says it's safe I think it all still comes down to the levels in the product you using. Apparently all the danger is mainly focused at internal consumption by eating or inhaling. That completely changes the chemical makeup compared to putting it on the skin

I'm only speaking from my experiences. I'm not in any way speaking to contradict what you are saying, only to figure out what is most accurate. I respect your experience as a grower. I hope I didn't offend/irritate you, it wasn't my intention. Cheers
 
No no offense taken. You just asked if I was a doctor. While I am not, coming from a family all in the medical field you could not imagine all the stories. A lot having to do with people's home remedies or trying things not proven safe, experimenting, ect.

To be honest what worries me most is the negative impact that could be done by this. With all the strides that have been taken to legalize MJ anything negative should be avoided.

For instance more and more places are legalizing it. That means more and more people will try growing. Some will also try these methods to feminize plants. The less people going to the ER for silver poisoning the better. All anti-marijuana supporters need is an uprise in illnesses directly correlating to the industry to use it against pro-marijuana issues.

Any negative stigmas towards what we are trying to achieve should be avoided if at all possible. At least until proven to be safe.
