Stomach Flu
Though many people know the term “stomach flu”, any stomach infection are really caused by food poisoning bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Rotavirus or Norovirus, the latter two of which are not related to the flu virus.
That said, a stomach infection can be a set back for one, with symptoms such as nausea, cramps, vomiting and running stomach (diarrhea).
Colloidal Silver For A Sore Stomach
Although there’s no official clinical evidence suggesting colloidal silver can be used as a remedy for a sore stomach, running stomach, stomach ulcers, food poisoning or other stomach infections, many people none the less testified to it being effective against all sorts of stomach.
Also, doctors and scientists have now discovered that the microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract or gut accounts for 75% to 85% of our immune system!
Our research shows that Silverlab Liquid, even when taken in excessive quantities of up to 1 litre per day, do not negatively impact our intestinal flora (our probiotics in the gut), proving that colloidal silver indeed kill all of the disease-causing bacteria that we have tested.
Colloidal silver have also proven to be excellent for colon infection and other colon problems.
