#93 Nature’s Secret Medicine (Colloidal Silver Science, Safety & Uses) | Steve @ Silver Biotics
Immune health and rapid wound regeneration have become touchy topics. Although it has a long history of safe & effective use, newer research has highlighted potential dangers of using colloidal silver supplements. I wouldn't touch most products. Today, we're discussing the one exception. A product cleared by the FDA for use in hospitals due to its safety and effectiveness. It beats out conventional options like antibiotic creams, all without the downsides.
Meet our guest
Steve joined American Biotech Labs/Manufacturing after retiring from 30 years in science and health education. During Steve's tenure at ABL he has helped the company develop antimicrobial cosmetics and wound care products. Steve's passion has always been to educate people about their health and wellness!
