Well, to be clear Roger, this is my view : 1.The best protection from pathogens and toxins is a healthy immune system.
2. Silver is not an immune system booster but rather an adjunct to it. 3. Silver works by disabling pathogens so that they may not proliferate, thus lessening the work required by the immune system to clear the infection. 4. The metallothioneins which the body uses to chelate and eliminate toxic metals are used to eliminate silver also. If high doses of silver are present these proteins may not be able to eliminate toxic metals as readily, and if overwhelmed, may result in the deposition of silver in the tissue. 5. I would use silver in fairly large doses at the onset and throughout the course of an infection, split into many small doses during the day, and discontinue silver use once the infection has passed. 6. I would use silver as a preventative before eating suspect food, close contact with infectious persons etc., and as a disinfective in the kitchen (notably inside the refrigerator) and bathroom.
