I am from Kentucky and I don't think that the use of silver can ever come close to the ecological damage caused by mountain top strip mines. Both to the environment ant to the health of the residents near, and sometimes not so near, the strip mine. While that does not justify potential damage by silver, I think it puts it better into perspective. And the state and federal agencies do nothing about strip mining. Not a damn thing. - Steve N

You can't know that it hasn't harmed anything John, you are only assuming that it hasn't. Who knows what happened round silver mines etc., no data was kept I presume. And most things in a natural environment and not concentrated, *don't* harm things on any sort of scale. It is only when anything becomes popular and all of a sudden *everyone* is jumping on the band wagon to put it in their products, that the trouble starts. You are right about Big Pharma doing *far* more damage with their drugs and plant, and also that they are probably at the bottom of the FDA's stance in this matter. I don't agree about Mercola though, he is just ignorant of the good that silver can do, but he doesn't condemn it outright, just voices concerns. dee On 2 Feb 2010, at 14:42, John E.

There are too many tons of King Pharma's drugs flushed down the toilets by not only individuals, but hospitals, too, that get into the ground water. And there are tons of oil based pesticides and oil based fertilizers that get into ground water, too. I'd look at those aspects first before declaring silver is a danger to anything. Silver is natural. It never harmed fish or other wildlife for thousands of years. Why would it be doing it now? Seems like another eventual FDA and EPA plot to ban CSW making machines down the road. Samsung includes a CSW maker in their washing machines because they know it kills off harmful bacteria. > > John > -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
