Tea tree oil is great... I use it also, but essentials oils like Tea Tree and Oregano are not recommended for internal use (unless you use a special type of carrier, or so I've heard).

I have used Tea tree oil topically on the inside of my mouth to help heal a wound (from biting my cheek while eating) that I was afraid was getting infected. Of course, it tastes awful, which is why I like using Colloidal Silver more. Plus, Colloidal Silver can be taken internally.

In earlier post, I forgot to mention I've also used colloidal silver for canker sores, cuts, wounds, sore throat (as a gargle), and a friend of mine used it in her children's ears to get rid of ear infections.

I can't really think of anything that you couldn't use colloidal silver for.

Anonymous, I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had success with it in the past. I think it's great. If you ever want to give the brand I use a try, let me know and I'll send you a bottle at my cost. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
