Silver is antimicrobial. Unfortunately, those who try to "make" colloidal silver at home don't know how to produce the "micro-particle" colloidal silver solutions that actually work as an antibiotic, and don't know the right ratio suspensions.
This is not "homeopathy." It's not diluted to nothing, it's actual silver salts that have to be very tiny, and like 200 parts per million is effective enough to kill pathogens. You can get a colloidal silver generator that will create these solutions. I am not saying you should. I am not saying it works. Just answering the question from OP.
Colloidal silver does not cure AIDS. It does not cure COVID. It is not for viruses at all, if indeed it does anything, it only works to damage bacterial cell membranes, block cellular division, and disrupt metabolism of microbes and bacteria, not viruses.

And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue: like him inside and outside.
Blue his house, with the blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him,
And himself and everybody around,
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen…2

From Healthinc
Any company that produces silver products that are labeled or promoted to prevent or cure disease must undergo FDA approval prior to marketing. Otherwise, the product is considered misbranded and subject to regulatory action.
Consumption of colloidal silver is associated with many serious health risks, such as argyria (a permanent gray or blue discoloration of the skin), neurological damage, and liver and kidney harm. It also reduces the absorption and efficacy of certain drugs, such as antibiotics and the thyroid medication thyroxine.
Ultimately, any colloidal silver product intended for oral or topical use isn’t safe or

The human body can’t process it, so it builds up and causes damage all over the place, in the kidneys, liver, brain, and in the skin where it reacts to sunlight and turns them blue.

Not only consuming but using it on his skin as well, consuming it alone will change your skin color but not this drastically. This dude was all in.

Have hard time believing it, wouldn't it give him side effects or allergy when taking for a long time? As an allergic person I can't comprehend it
