    For internal infection I agree wholeheartedly. It does help, in a topical form, with wound care.

    Could also help if nebulized to assist with lung infection caused after the virus, what I would be worried about is people that try to take it daily to prevent infection - I would not recommend someone take antibiotics daily to prevent infection either, people have to use things properly

    that said, most infections can be quickly and effectively be killed off with antibiotics, these are more of a last resort when modern medicine fails

    Its worth noting that there aren't any silver-resistant bacteria, despite silver being used as an antibacterial for at least centuries.

    edit: I stand corrected!

    In any con game, they have to have some on the inside and some on the outside to fool the rubes more effectively. The collusion between trump and the right-wing media and snake oil preachers is part of the scam.

    Can't antibiotics kill off the good alimentary bacT in the gut, a factor in itself that can make a person sick, even chronically sick and sickly?
