Colloidal silver

Colloidal silver is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used for centuries as an antimicrobial agent. It kills bacteria on contact and has a long shelf life, so it can be stored in a cool, dark place.  The evidence is clear that there are many benefits of using this product: -It kills MRSA on contact -It is non-toxic to humans and pets -It has a long shelf life (it will last for years) -It can be stored in a cool, dark place

Colloidal silver was used in hospitals like Listerine (commonly known as mouth wash) and was used to cleanse hospital wards. Given that most antibiotics are treatment resistant is colloidal silver the way forward? As microbiology advances and counter measures are made redundant should microbiologists deploy colloidal silver so as to save  life and limb?I knew a bloke whom had his arm chopped off due to MRSA. Is thinking rationally dangerous?
