I had seen this site previously and found it to be superficial at best. >From the site home page:
"The purpose of this site is to examine the credibility of these claims from the standpoint of our present-day understanding of science. The latter, of course, is always evolving and is never complete, but it makes an excellent "B.S. filter" that is almost always reliable." I like those words but he doesn't fulfill them. From the page you cited below: "The Journal of Medicinal Food seems to be a favorite place to publish stuff whose authors place degrees (often phony ones) after their names. The second article, whose senior author has a Ph.D. in physical education and who appears to be the only legitimate faculty researcher cited in any of the references, reports a double-blind study of six subjects in which reduced blood lactate concentrations were observed following 40-km simulated bicycling trials. I'll leave it to those more knowledgable about physiology than me to evaluate these papers." Not exactly a science based evaluation. Regarding the study he did mention above, here is what Ray Sahelian, M.D, says at http://www.raysahelian.com/silica.html: "Effects of microhydrin supplementation on endurance performance and metabolism in well-trained cyclists. Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 2004 Oct;14(5):560-73. Dept of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1. This study investigated whether the supplement Microhydrin contains silica hydride bonds (Si-H) and if Microhydrin supplementation increased performance or altered metabolism compared to placebo during prolonged endurance cycling. Seven endurance-trained male cyclists consumed 9.6 g of Microhydrin or placebo over 48 h in a randomized, double-blind, crossover design. The results indicate that oral Microhydrin supplementation does not enhance cycling time trial performance or alter metabolism during prolonged submaximal exercise in endurance-trained cyclists" Frankly, I don't think much about the accuracy of the site or the technical competence of the site owner. - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: muk...@mail.bg [mailto:muk...@mail.bg] Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 2:00 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>Migraines See also http://www.chem1.com/CQ/FlanBunk.html ------------------------------------- Powered by Mail.BG - http://mail.bg -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
