They totally scoff at the idea of CS, as if we are talking about
voodoo or witchdoctors or something.
It's a common misconception that the use of colloidal silver is based
on some pagan cult worship of silver. Or that its a homeopathic
remedy. Neither of these are true of course. The use of silver had,
and continues to have, a very substantial scientific and medical
background. (Just look up colloidal silver in Wikipedia).
So at one end of the story we have silver's proven in-vitro
antibiotic properties, and at the other end we have a mountain of
anecdotal evidence that it works in real life. The 'missing link'
that is required to convince the skeptics is 'evidence based in-vivo
studies.' (In other words, credible human trials.) Unfortunately
we'll probably never have those unless someone like Bill Gates gets
interested, or the NCCAM funds a trial. (As, according to their
charter, they should. Instead they seem intent on researching rubbish
that is doomed to failure, further proving the lack of effectiveness
of alternative medicine.)
Heres a site that has a heap of scientific research about silver.

By the way, you can't pay to get a website to the top of a google
search (other than the obvious paid Google Adwords spots). Those
sites that you mention rate highly because they have a lot of words,
they get clicked a lot, and because so many other sites link to them.

Subject: CS>spreading the word
One funny thing I have noticed is how difficult it is to convince
anybody who doesn't already know about CS how amazing it is.
Both of my groan, er, I mean, grown kids have worked at the New
England Journal of Medicine, and they are "True Believers" in the
AMA, FDA, and all things traditional western medicine. And they
steadfastly refuse to believe in anything else. These are 30-
somethings. At the moment. They totally scoff at the idea of CS,
as if we are talking about voodoo or witchdoctors or something.
Same reaction with people at work. So now I just don't bother
much. I hear them coughing and sniffing, taking off sick, talking
about the flu, getting their flu shots, getting colds, etc., and
think how nice it is not to have to deal with any of that any
more. But even when they are sick, they don't want to hear about CS.
Of course it doesn't help that the powers that are against it have
websites that they pay to keep at the front of google searches,
that put down CS and try to scare people away from it. A friend of
mine did a google search on it, and the first 3 or 4 items were
quackwatch, some site from a university, the standard blue man and
gray people pictures, etc. It's no wonder people get turned off to
it. I looked into quackwatch, and found references to the guy who
owns it having received awards from the FDA. No surprises there.
The university sites were AMA connected. You have to pay to get
your website up front on google like that, and I'll bet I know
exactly who is paying in this case.
Anyhow, interesting phenomenon, the resistance to learning about
something new like this, or maybe it is just resistance to learning
about anything that doesn't come from one's own doctor?
