The following is a post I sent to the Yeast list.
Rosemary's page is http://homepages.together.net/~rjstan/
She states in her FAQ section:
FAQs
What exactly was in the nose drops that
you took?
What was the brand name?
Did they contain silver salts, nitrates,
protein binders or were they small particles of silver
suspended in water?
How much did you take?
As I explain on my web page, I do not know
the answers to these questions. All I know is that
they contained silver. However, my case is
just one of many.
Her law suit is mentioned on:
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html
Rosemary Jacobs, an argyria victim, has made a detailed study of the
colloidal silver marketplace and is willing to answer questions. In
March 1998, she filed suit charging that a
California-based colloidal silver marketer and other unnamed defendants
had falsely advertised their product(s). The suit was brought under a
special California law that permits an
individual to act as a "private attorney general."
That is all I know about the law suit.--- Begin Message ---
That is Rosemary I referred to in a previous post. She does not know the
composition of the nose drops. She was given those drops by a doctor and
they were probably silver nitrate or another silver compound since they
were prescribed by her doctor. You don't need a prescription for
Colloidal silver.
It is interesting to see the two pictures side by side. Is the one on
the right the before and the one on the left the after picture? If so
then she
was a very mature 11 year old. She was given the nose drops when she was
11 and developed the coloration when she was 14.
I looked in quackwatch and noticed that Rosemary has a law suit against
a colloidal silver maker so she now has a vested interest in blaming
colloidal silver for her problems.
I think that the NEJM article is a sham(e) and shows a lack of
expertise. The jump from "nose drops of unknown composition" to
Colloidal silver is an unwarranted one. This article is an airing of the
medical professions
dirty laundry. It was a doctor who prescribed the nose drops, it was a
doctor who performed dermabrasion so disastrously. Now they are trying
to blame someone else (Colloidal Silver) for their misdeeds.
