In haste - for the legal case against Colloidal Silver. I've not had a chance to wade through and find who exactly was looking for references.
References I've come across on the Internet: By the way I found the whole article "Silver Our Mightiest Germ Fighter" on the Internet - I'll try and re-locate it! ECHO Newsletteer - A WORD WITH WALTER GROTZ : Report on Colloidal Silver - no date unfortunately - The Body Electric by Dr Robert O Becker ....... ".... states that silver does more than kill disease-causing organisms; it also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients ... According to Dr Becker, all strains of pathogens resistant to other antibiotics are killed by the silver element. He even discovered that it may help change cancer cells back to normal!" I believe it's a recognised form of treatment in India, but don't have anything in writing on this. "Colloidal silver has proven particularly effective in cases of intestinal trouobles. Dr Henry Crooks found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely nontoxic. Rather than in a chemical compound, silver, in the colloidal state, may be applied in a more concentrated form, with correspondingly better results. All fungus, virus, bacteria, streptococcus, staphylococcuis, and other pathogenic organisms are killed in three or four minutes. In fact there is no microbe known that is not killed by colloidal silver in six minutes or less, in a dilution of as little as five parts per million. There are no side effects whatsoever from high concentrations." "Use of Colloid in health and Disease". quoted in "Report: Colloidal Silver" Health Consciousness, Vol 15, No. 4 OUR MIGHTIEST GERM FIGHTER - Science Digest, march 1978 UCLA Medical labs found it (silver) effective on every virus they tested it on - no date or name referenced here. Dr Henry Crooks (Use of Colloids in Health-Disease) found that silver iin the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he concluded, "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six minutes". Dr Bjorn Nordenstrom of the Larolinska (Karolinska?) Institute, Sweden, has successfully used silver as a component in his cancer treatments for many years. EPA's Poison Control Centre reports no toxicity listing fror Colloidal Silver, considering it harmless in any concentration. Hope these help - I'm sure there are more I can scout through if needed. All obtained on the Internet. Please keep us posted on progress of the case - could be an important precedent. My very best wishes ................
