Q: Are colloidal silver and colloidal gold “drugs” or do they interact with drugs?

A: Our Colloidal Silver and Colloidal Gold products are mineral and water dietary supplements, not drugs. Supplementing your diet with colloidal silver or gold should be approached no differently than taking other vitamin and mineral supplements. We have seen no reports of, nor evidence of, any adverse silver or gold interaction or reaction with patented "drugs", any other element, compound, or food.

There is a common practice by “governmental agencies” to define as a “new drug” anything that is claimed by anyone (user, marketer, or producer) as being of some benefit. This is nothing more than a transparent attempt to regulate that which by law and common sense cannot be regulated. The implication that only “drugs” are beneficial flies in the face of not only of common sense, but science. This is the modern day equivalent of claiming that the Earth is flat or that the Earth is the center of the Universe.

By this bureaucratic logic, since water cures and prevents dehydration, then it must be a “drug”. It is simply scientific and medical fact that a deficiency of any given vitamin or mineral can be the root cause of any number of illnesses and when these vitamins or minerals are replaced, a particular disease may be either prevented or cured. Two of the most common examples are the relationship between Vitamin C and Scurvy and Vitamin D and Rickets.
