If colloidal silver can kill all pathogens (it's being used today topically), how can Hypocratically-oathed doctors deny it's value?

Silver salts are are larger clusters that can turn skin blue/gray, but colloidal silver is very small and safe, and kills all known pathogens/viruses, yet doctors still won't use it. WHY is that?

    Because physicians have this funny thing about hard, scientific evidence from reputable peer reviewed journals by qualified authors.

    In the Oath, there's a reference to a concept now referred to as "Primum non nocere". First do no harm. This also means don't use unproven therapies.
