Tell me, John, what do you think we come here for? Speaking for myself I came 
here to learn the proper way to make and take CS and can only assume that's why 
the majority of us are here...I cannot speak for why you might be here. If 
you're here to inform this forum of argyria, then It's pretty safe to say "we" 
are all aware of it. Not everyone who uses CS will suffer from it and the ones 
who do there are treatments they can use to take care of the problem.

Since this is a public forum and "we" are all reading it I think of it as a 
community of like minded individuals so feel I can speak with a certain amount 
of we-"ism" when addressing certain topics.

Have you considered the benefits of using CS far out weigh the prospects of 
getting argyria? Maybe you could speak to that? Tell us the risks of taking 
antibiotics? Personally speaking I have nearly died from taking Sulfa drugs for 
a urinary tract infection. However, I've never came close to dying from taking 
CS or getting argyria.

way home...  Incredible!

Hi John,

I do not believe anyone on this forum thinks of themselves as a "know it all." 
It's just that we all came here with the desire to make CS correctly so as not 
to be like the "blue man." Quite clearly the blue man was not making his CS 
correctly and was using it incorrectly. Not only did he consume it everyday for 
years and years he also rubbed it on his body. He knew it was making him blue 
but he continued to abuse it instead of finding out why this was happening. I 
believe he enjoyed the notoriety his blue condition was giving him. He did a 
great disservice to those of us who make our own CS by going on all the talk 
shows and claiming...this is what homemade colloidal silver did to me. 


We are careful, that's why we are here and hopefully why newbs come here...to 
learn the correct why of making CS so as not to turn blue. I do not know of
 one person here who makes their CS in a slip-shod method...course, I cannot 
speak for you. ;) 

I personally do not take CS everyday nor would I but I'm certainly not going to 
criticize anyone else who may. I have enough faith in this group that they make 
and take CS responsibly and will guide any newbs to do the same. 


Please calm down...no one is ganging up on you. We are giving our opinions just 
like you are.

Best regards,
Sandy

Everyone is a know-it-all.  Steve Barrett is no friend of mine!  Don't be 
careful - just do what you obviously wanna' do...  Use it slip-shod.  doesn't 
matter to me.  Seems like the gang mentality is back and no one is thinking for 
themselves.

Golly, I can't believe that a person who is supposed to know about CS and is on 
this list, could actually *say* this!  Sounds like Quackwatch!  dee

Not true, Maryann.  One does have to be careful - check out the "Blue-Man..."

If there's one thing that has been demonstrated, over and over on this list, 
it's that you don't have to "be careful" in the use of CS.  Not the kind that 
we make.  One should be careful of purchased CS, and one should be careful in 
the use of antibiotics, drugs, etc., but the hallmark of what we do here is 
"can't hurt, might help".  FWIW
