Colloidal silver, how can we tell if the bottle we bought is genuine?!
Question: Just bought some colloidal silver for our daughters molloscums but the bottle arrived without a seal around the cap and worse still, the water smells musty..
Does anyone know of a simple test we can perform to authenticate the liquid as genuine colloidal silver and not just musty water?
No nonsense replies please, this is a serious issue. Thank you.

I buy a brand called Natural Path Silver Wings. It is 500 ppm colloidal silver and it is quite brown. I get it at my local health food store. It has a faint metallic smell but not musty.

There are many small scale home producers of what is claimed to be colloidal silver.
Have a look at this web site for some debunking.

How dare you give this to your children.
I can't give you an opinion on the condition of the colloidal silver, however I think that you would be justified in returning this.
I use colloidal silver for numerous things, consequently I make my own. I bought an implement for doing this, it's the size of a cigarette packet, it is battery powered and has two prongs. I submerge the prongs in water for twenty minutes and it produces fresh colloidal silver. I think that mine was about
