Colloidal silver cures strep throat.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Colloidal silver cures strep throat?

Unclear. Several sources indicate that antibiotics, not colloidal silver, are the standard treatment for strep throat, and one FDA warning letter quotes a marketer's unsubstantiated claim that colloidal silver is effective against strep throat. No retrieved source directly tests or confirms colloidal silver as a cure for strep throat.
