Medicine has existed as long as creatures. The pharmaceutical industry is overwhelmingly a late 20th century creation of capitalism.

Colloidal generally is understood to mean "solution"....as in particles suspended in a solution. Silver colloidal is a suspension of silver particles evenly distributed...in solution...
Silver (in non toxic amounts) is known to increase the effectiveness of antibiotics...which in an increasingly drug resistant environment is a welcome contribution.
Silver Makes Antibiotics Thousands of Times More Effective
I've seen people with MRSA infections wearing pyjamas with silver threaded through the material...in hospital. Not a gimmick either.

Acording to the research above..... silver...and colloidal silver are known to damage bacteria at a cellular level...which is good news for those treating antibiotic resistant bacteria.

No, the research shows that for most medical uses silver does nothing.

are we there yet?
Not sure about that sweeping statement ...
From http://www.midlandsburnnetwork.nhs.uk/Library/WoundInternationalBestPracticeGuidelinesNonComplex.pdf
Best practise guidelines indicate the use of silver sulfadiazine for non-complex burns
"The most commonly used topical antimicrobial in burn wounds is silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream (Flamazine‰). This is a broadspectrum agent, which is effective against Gram-negative bacteria (e.g. Pseudomonas). It can be applied as a 1cm thick layer and needs to be washed off and redressed daily. However, SSD cream may itself delay healing due to a toxic effect60. Impregnated dressings or pastes, using other forms of silver, most notably elemental silver or in the ionic state (Ag+), have been demonstrated to have a broad antimicrobial effect65–67 and may have some benefit over SSD dressings in terms of time to healing"

Did I say it that it was for "most medical uses"?

No you did not, and I agree that my post was perhaps poorly worded. That said you did seem to big up colloidal silver, which has time after time been proven to have no clinically proven effects. Also silver is not an antibiotic, it is an antiseptic.

I didn't say it was antibiotic.
I referenced research that stated it supported the antibiotic process and I distinctly referenced this as the impact silver has at a cellular level.....
There is no equation of silver, colloidal or otherwise as an actual antibiotic.
Read my post again.

Lol
I'm not peddling anything.
I replied to someone else who mentioned colloidal silver.. and I explained that colloidal means "in solution".
But ... as you seem interested...have a look at this...
Silver shines as antibacterial for medical implants
