Whilst I agree whole heartedly with the sentiment you express and have contributed to the good fight, and will continue to do so, I get somewhat annoyed with the vendors of these products making claims which they seem unable to support. Early in my silver colloid investigations I realised that most of what was claimed by commercial CS outlets was just a repetition of the juicy extracts of a few articles on the subject, with no references or serious attempts at research. These and further claims of effectiveness against all sorts of diseases etc. which may be true, without supporting data has finally had the inevitable effect of jeopardising the whole industry, including the livelihood of responsible vendors who make no such claims. Surely it is common sense that if one claims something, then one needs to be able to support that claim... or at least to couch the assertions in the ' anecdotal evidence suggests that CS may be of benefit...' jargon. Whether through naivety or greed, these people have done a major disservice to serious alternative health product suppliers, and if the article you posted is a true reflection of the facts, then their cases are hopeless, as I do not think that there is documented support for their claims. Having said that however, I can resend you... SILVER COLLOID BIBLIOGRAPHY prepared by Dr. A. Bart Flick ...if that would be of any help. Someone needs to get to a university library and dive into these references to extract the relevant passages and studies. Also :Colloidal Silver - the Natural Alternative to Antibiotics, by Martha M. Christy, 1998 has a lot of references.

Darryl John Jones has been taken to the Federal Court in relation to alleged breaches of sections 52 and 53 of the Trades Practices Act. Among the companies health devices are Colloidal Silver makers,which are marketed as producing 'sub-micron, ultra-fine colloidal silver' that allegedly kills all disease causing bacteria, fungi and viruses within six minutes of contact. The Vital Earth company product has been advertised as killing more than 650 disease organisms including, in less than a inute( I think this is the writers mistake) anthrax, tuberculosis, shingles etc. According to advertisements, colloidal silver can be used as an antibiotic for all the acquired diseases of active AIDS, has no side effects from regular use and has been used successfully against diabetes, leprosy, lupus, skin cancer,and syphilis. The Commission is tackling Colin Ronald Dixon For allegedly making false representations about Vital Earth products on the Internet. It has also challenged another company, Raylight Pty Ltd. In the Federal Court yesterday, Justice Antony Whitlam adjourned the commission's action against Raylight until Tuesday. Justice Whitlam produced short minutes of an order against Mr.Dixon. The 'orders of consent' said it had been found Mr. Dixon had engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and had falsely promoted the alleged benefits of Vital Silver 2000 and the Vital Silver 3000 Zapper.. A further directions hearing against Vital Earth has been scheduled for November 23 1999 (end of article) This is the first case of this kind in Australia, as you can see the 'screw' is about to be twisted if anyone out there can help these people with proof as we all know it would help fight the good fight.
