Just a few minor points if I may. An opinion from a different perspective. 

Dispute is a pugilistic term signifying an argument. I don't know if it is 
intended that way. I think that an unsubstantiated claim is an opinion and an 
unsubstantiated counter claim is also an opinion. And yes you should feel free 
to express your opinion but it need not become a dispute. 

Relative to silver poisoning, there is a medically documented instance of 
silver poisoning. As I recall, the person accidentally drank a large amount of 
silver nitrate and died quite rapidly. Silver can also, in some instances cause 
a selenium deficiency that over the long term can lead to liver failure and 
death. It probably has never happened because the person would turn blue first 
and get medical help in time. 

If someone says they drank silver and got blue moons I believe that almost 100 
percent of the time they are correct. What part of their statement do think 
they got incorrect? That they did not drink silver or that they do not have 
blue moons? 

It is fine if you choose to place no value on anecdotal information but your 
choice to not believe it does not make it not true. 

Regards,
Steve N

How about, 'Any info that supports this claim?'   My problem is that all kinds 
of people make all kinds of claims.  If I believe someone just because they are 
fervent and are sincere I'll go around in circles because I hear and read 
things that conflict with each other.

My basic stance in life that if someone makes an unsubstantiated claim, I can 
dispute it without any substantiation for my position.   If someone presents 
rationale, information from a study, then I must consider their rationale or 
study to see if it appears to be solid before I can dispute it.

There are some very fervent and sincere people on the internet pushing the 
notion that you can get 'silver poisoning.'   I don't believe them.  They have 
yet to provide meaningful support for their position.   

When someone says they drank colloidal silver and got blue moons, I don't 
accept it at face value.  I need to know how their 'colloidal silver' was made 
or from whom it was acquired.   I am open to the idea that perhaps someone can 
get blue moons from colloidal silver, but I want to know exactly how this 
happened so I can figure out what is going on and what I should do.

And on a final note, the credentials of the person making such claims isn't 
worth that much to me.   They can be mistaken or have made poor assumptions 
just as easily as I can.
