<< Yet Dr. Barrett spews forth opinions also without substantiation. For example, he mixes statements for "silver preparations" with colloidal silver -- hoping the reader will assume that they are the same (they aren't). He also ignores the scores of research reports in acknowledged scientific and medical publications that show the effectiveness of colloidal silver. The anecdotal research (about killing staph bacteria in petri dishes) he does cite is probably correct (but his opinion about the results is spurious) given that there is little quality control for retail colloidal silver products. If you make CS yourself, you can control your own quality. Then run your own tests (on plants, animals and yourself). >> Amen! I watch this going on all the time. They use to say herbs did nothing. They where useless. As soon as it became a little wider spread in their usage and help from them was recognized, then they say that they can interfere with the use of other drugs. That they are potent to us. Please oh wise people, make up your minds before you open your mouths. Do you not understand that your credibility is suffering? And when one then brings up that may medicines are derived from these plants and act much like them, what about the use by the medical profession of these together also, then you stand there looking stupid again. I am not saying that I don't respect them, I do when I see caring and good sense medicine. But the opening of ones mouth from ego and without good backing of the facts, one can sure damage ones reputation fast.
