There is simply no mechanism to support the expense of a thorough investigation into the effectiveness or lack thereof as a method of dealing with various bacteria, viruses or fungi. It is extremely easy for anyone to make colloidal silver, which is eighty percent Ionic and fifteen to twenty percent particulate. It is also a fact that it does not lend itself to shipment and storage after being made. The particles are held in suspension by Brownian motion and the Ionic portion exists in solution due to a mutually repulsive electrical charge of individual atoms. Vibration or external stimulus including photons tends to cause these particles to agglomerate and fall out of solution. All that being said, it is still a very useful product. We will probably never know precisely why it works as it does as there is simply no money in it. And money, after all, is what makes the world go round. "And what would anyone expect from a mainline medical establishment?" If you are ever so unfortunate as to have a serious illness that chug-a lugging CS doesn't fix, you might be grateful they exist. "The FDA is a branch of Big Pharma" If this were true I doubt that our toddlers would now be chewing on lead painted toys from China. "The information from this list is much more valuable." We can certainly agree on that. One of the most useful functions of the list is the de-bunking of items such as "Molecula Silver", that is supposed to be smaller than a single atom, LOL.

The key to this statement is: "Although no human clinical data support the use of oral colloidal silver, it is being promoted as a cure for AIDS, cancer, and diabetes." Of course there is no clinical data, what Big Pharma company would spend the money to do clinical studies when they could not patent the product and make money off of it? This says nothing about the effectiveness of CS. No one on this list wants to spend the money to collect clinical data, so there is no data. The FDA is a branch of Big Pharma, so they are not going to say anything good about CS. And the examples tell nothing about what the CS product was that they site. The information from this list is much more valuable. Gene At 06:13 PM 5/18/2008, you wrote: The link you sent said not found.
