-Caveat Lector- Good site for info on colloidal silver:
http://www.silverfacts.org/index.html ----- Common questions and answers: http://www.pure-silver-colloid.com/faq.html excerpts: HOW DOES COLLOIDAL SILVER KILL PATHOGENS? HOW IS IT USED? Silver molecules attach to some types of single celled organisms at the enzyme receptor sites necessary for their respiration, therefore effectively preventing the pathogens from ‘breathing’. It is safe to apply to the skin, eyes, ears, mouth, throat, nose, sinuses, or to be taken orally for systemic and digestive tract infections, inhaled into the lungs for bronchitis and lung infections, and can be applied to other sensitive tissues of the body without odor, stain or pain. It feels like water, even in the eyes. It should be noted that even water has a temporary sting in the eyes because the salinity isn’t the same as the tears of the eye. However, Electro-Pure TM Colloidal Silver certainly isn’t uncomfortable to use anywhere you would put water. IS SILVER TOXIC, ISN’T IT A HEAVY METAL, AND DOES IT ACCUMULATE IN THE BODY? According to the Federal Government’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on silver, Silver is not toxic. That report also states that there are no targeted organs, nor is it carcinogenic. This means that silver does not accumulate in any particular organ in the body as do the toxic heavy metals Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, etc. The MSDS states that when test animals were fed silver, they passed it completely from their bodies within days of ingestion. This document includes LD results on mice and guinea pigs. The LD is the lowest dose that is toxic to the animal. When I calculated from this level to represent the toxic dose for a 150 pound human to take of Electro-Pure TM Colloidal Silver at 30 PPM, I concluded that an average sized human would have to drink 6,325 gallons a day to reach that same toxic level!!!! And even then they define "toxic" as causing a cosmetic effect known as Argyria. Technically speaking, silver is categorized as a ‘heavy metal’ because it exceeds the maximum of 5.0 specific gravity of metals that defines the light from heavy metals. Silver has a specific gravity of 10.5. Although some heavy metals are toxic to humans not all of the heavy metals are toxic. This is the case of silver. So, when the newscast states that the heavy metal lead was found to be toxic, it shouldn’t be assumed that all heavy metals are like lead. It happens that silver falls on the periodic chart near toxic heavy metals and unknowing people state that heavy metals are harmful. It has been historically documented that some clay pots, Pewter and similar soft metal alloys containing Lead or Mercury should not be used for cooking and serving food. Even Aluminum has been blamed for illnesses including Alzheimer’s disease. Some metals are useful however; many people wear Copper bracelets and take shots of Gold powder for arthritis. Have you ever taken Iron or Zinc supplements? If silver were toxic and indeed a dangerous substance to ingest, do you think that silverware and silver jewelry would be considered safe? If silver accumulates in our bodies why would silverware still be so commonplace and used as utensils and vessels for food and drink? Did you know that several foreign Airlines and cruise ships today use silver catalysts to purify the drinking water on board? Research has been performed on rats to monitor a measured dose of colloidal silver as it passed through their systems. Then all excrement was analyzed for silver; after as little as two weeks all the silver was accounted for in the animals excrement. --- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
