Hi Ivan
My understanding of Colloidal Silver is that it disables the pathogen's
breathing mechanism or chemical lung thus killing them in 7 minutes
or so on contact..They are still in the blood but killed and have to be
removed by the immune system..Is your theory different from this.
also Wayne Mosley claims he learned that Silver can poison the liver and
kidneys
if vitamin E is not present. Have you heard of this..It would be interesting

to learn where he got this info..He didn't reply to my email on this one.
Wayne would you tell us where we can find it.
