Hello,

        The more I read about the disinformation on silver, the madder I get. 
For what its worth, here are my thoughts:
        I have been using silver every day for over a year now. I got
started when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I began an intensive
study of alternative therapies, and thats how I found silver. No, I dont't
believe silver cures cancer! But it does help with the immune system. 

        I read all of Dr Bob Becks material. I studied Dr. Robert O.
Becker's material. (two different guys), plus many others. I got mad when I
found out you can make the highest quality silver available anywhere
YOURSELF, for pennies a gallon. MLM companies have been selling the stuff
for upwards of $20 an ounce. 
        
        A lot of this disinformation comes from them: "We use a highly
technical electro colloidal process." Thats crap. They make it the same way
we do at home. Putting current through two pure silver wires. Plus, they use
gelatins, preservatives, proteins, etc and other products to stabilize the
silver so it will have a longer shelf life. 

        It is ridiculous to pay these high prices, when you can make it
yourself at home. You can take your batch to any lab and compare the
quality. Dr. Beck did this and found his homemade stuff to be even superior
to a lot of the top silver sold in the marketplace. 

        ARGYRIA: Here's a quote from an article by Mark Metcalf on silver
> from Perceptions magazine May 1996 "There is no record of anyone ever
contracting argyria from colloidal silver made by the electrolytic method.
Argyria is a harmless and infrequent cosmetic condition in which some body
parts take on a slight bluish cast due to the presence of chemical compunds
of which silver is only a component". End quote.

        Scaring people with argyria is another ploy by the fat cats to scam
people into buying their  high priced product. Another report says that
you'd have to drink an enormous amount (like 50 gallons a day) for months to
even have the CHANCE of contracting argyria. Of course youd have to take all
the other compounds which cause it. 

        By the way, the method found by Beck to be the best is the one with
3 nine volt batteries and pure silver wires. If anyone wants, I'll send
instructions on how to make em. 

        Silver IS a powerful germ fighter. It can be 'hawked' as such
because it is! If you really want to find out what happened to silver look
up what Rockerfeller did when synthetic antibiotics came out. And see how
Dr. Nordstrom (Nobel prize winner) cured cancer with a 9volt battery and
pure silver. Try and find his papers today, you can't.

        Somebody said something about not knowing the long term effects of
silver, or that it hasnt been tested. Silver has been around for thousands
of years. It's been tested in many, many labs. UCLA tested it against
viruses, germs, etc, and it killed EVERY single one of them. It passed every
test given to it. 

        There is only one negative side effect I have ever seen or heard of
with silver. If you drink a LOT, you can detox rapidly, and feel sluggish or
lethargic for a day or so. Thats it.  

        I made silver generators for friends and family. One friend had
chronic fatigue syndrome for five years. She led her life from bed, except
when she could afford to buy silver from a mlm company. Three days later,
she was back at work full time. She still is. Nobody can tell me silver is
bad, not even the FDA. I've seen it work. I drink a glass every day. I've
studied it, not going into 'miracle cures' blind. There have been so many
benefits from this simple device, that I will use it forever. 

        Sorry I got on a soapbox, and I'm sure many will disagree, but so
what!:)
