In the "Reverso World of FFL" Internet crapola trumps personal &
verifiable experience EVERYTIME. That's the whole fkn premise of this
"Group". Nothing matters here, because no one uses their real name, or
their own words, or their primary personality. Some, in fact, have
lost their personality.And a personality is a terrible thing to waste.

What I find strange is that Salyavin seems intent on completely
discounting my experience with it, chalking it up to a placebo effect,

It doesn't bother me. It just seems a symptom of a closed mind.

Much as I love Sal's posts this is one I don't agree on - I use
colloidal silver from time to time and placebo or not, it is good stuff.

I get the feeling that you are not joking. That for whatever reason,
you are chalking this up to a placebo effect?
I mean, I've had this condition for twenty years. I had really gotten
used to it. I mentioned it in passing on FFL. Ann offered to send me
this 1 oz. container of colloidal silver . It arrived, I started
putting it on, and one day later the dead skin starts flaking off. I
continue to apply a small dab twice a day, and the dry skin stays
away, but the area remains red.
I start to get lazy, thinking that I don't really mind the red area,
just happy that the dry skin hasn't come back, but still putting the
ointment on, whenever I would remember, maybe a couple times a week.
Then, one day I notice that even the red spot was gone.
And according to you, it is a placebo effect?
I guess, for whatever reason, this incident, as I've described it,
upends some belief system you have.
Rather strange I'd say.
BTW, I just looked at the little container. It is two thirds full.
All this from maybe 1/3 oz.

Damn, that power of attention thing must be better than I thought.
The placebo effect has nothing to do with your conscious mind or
attention.

Whatever it was/is, or shall be, the psoriasis is gone.
Now, from a scientific pov, I can't say with absolute certainty that
it was the colloidal silver that was responsible, but the gradual
improvement, and eventual elimination of the psoriasis, did coincide
exactly with the application of the colloidal silver. (-:
It's a placebo:
"*Colloidal silver* (a colloid
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid> consisting of silver particles
suspended in liquid) and formulations containing silver salts were
used by physicians in the early 20th century, but their use was
largely discontinued in the 1940s following the development of safer
and effective modern antibiotics.^[9]

Since the 1990s, colloidal silver has again been marketed as an
alternative medicine
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine>, often with
extensive "cure-all" claims. Colloidal silver products remain
available in many countries as dietary supplements
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_supplement> and homeopathic
remedies, although they are not effective in treating any known
condition and carry the risk of both permanent cosmetic side effects
such as argyria <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria> and more
serious ones such as allergic reactions, and interactions with
prescription medications"
