Thanks very much David for taking the time and trouble (not to
mention cost) to get this report and posting it for us all. Another
one for our arsenal.
Cheers, Roger

Some of you may have seen in Wikipedia (Colloidal silver), or other
places, the reference to the death of a 71 year old man after
ingesting CS. Specifically the title of the reference is...
"Myoclonic status epilepticus following repeated oral ingestion of
colloidal silver".
I've purchased the article ($20). For your information, heres my
summary of the case...
1... Man aged about 70 finds out he has prostate cancer.
2... Takes Bicaltamide (a prescribed drug with a few side effects)
for 3 months.
3... Following this he tried "various nutritional and vitamin
supplements, homeopathic remedies such as PC-SPES and essiac tea, and
colloidal silver". (Its claimed his CS machine produced 4 litres of
10ppm in 30 minutes). He drinks at least a ONE OUNCE a day for 4
months. (Yep, you heard right, a whole ounce!)
4... Wife and daughter confiscate his CS machine and give it to
doctors. (Presumably this ended his CS intake)
5... His prostate antigen level increases so he ceases all
unconventional treatment and undergoes 7 weeks (35 cycles) of
radiation therapy.
6... Seizures begin 1 month after radio therapy ceases. (This
appears to be about 3 MONTHS AFTER CEASING CS INGESTION)
7... He goes into 'Myoclonic status epilepticus' (a constant seizure)
so Doctors put him into an INDUCED COMA and pump him with various drugs.
8... Patient deteriorates to a persistant vegetative condition.
9... Patient is shifted to his home town hospital where he dies of
PNEUMONIA 5.5 months after seizures begin.
At the time of 'his admission' blood tests revealed 'high levels of
silver'. (The article does not really clarify at which admission the
blood samples were taken. It could have been back when his prostate
antigen levels were tested. Following death, an autopsy revealed
'elevated silver in the grey matter'. (I don't think either of these
findings are particularly surprising.)
OK folks, heres the rub...
Is the focus of article about who or what killed him? No, its about
what caused the seizures!
Quote.."His (the patients) extensive investigations (tests),
including cranial MRIs, somatosensory evoked potentials, routine and
special CSF studies for viruses or other microorganisms, porphyria,
Hashimoto thyroiditis, connective tissue disease, and anti-Hu
antibodies, WERE NORMAL. Patient’s liver function was also NORMAL.
Therefore, we hypothesized the patient’s condition was caused by
silver toxicity. Plasmapheresis resulted in significant improvement
in his plasma (1.9 nmol/L), erythrocytes (2.2 nmol/L), and CSF (1.04
nmol/L) silver levels without any associated neurologic recovery.
In other words... "We checked everything and all we could find was
silver, so we are HYPOTHESIZING the silver (that he stopped taking 3
MONTHS before the siezures) must have done it! Sorry Mum and
Daughter, its not our fault. He's dead because of that damned silver!"
If I was a cynic I could suggest conventional medicine killed him,
and colloidal silver became a convenient scapegoat.

David
