"Hi, I've used colloidal silver for about 6 months, It's cured my nail fungus and athlete’s foot. The nail fungus was only on my big toe to one side. I trimmed that portion off, exposing the nail bed. I soaked my feet in a baking dish full of colloidal silver. The athlete's foot problem was on the other foot, so it took care of both problems at the same time. I could feel the colloidal silver working on the fungus toe almost immediately and continued this for about a week and half. It took a while for my nail to grow, now I can wear sandals again."
