Dear Roger,
Generalized conclusions relative to how the human (or
other higher mammalian) beings' immune system is affected by colloidal silver,
is
fraught with uncertainty. Primarily, because so very little is understood
relative to the actual activities of the various body processes actually
determining the "immune response". And most especially.... the synergistic
relationships effecting from related, but separate contributors. Most difficult
to determine are the dynamics of the endocrine system elements and enzyme
generators.....or the changing degree of their interaction.....under sudden and
varying challenges.
One thing I feel I can safely relate is-----we have encountered
no
evidence.....de facto or anecdotal, which demonstrates any immune system
compromises arising from the continual ingestion of moderate levels of colloidal
silver (.75 ounces per 100 lbs. body mass, daily average). Our controlled
studies
did not reach beyond 14 months. However, our uncontrolled, generalized
evaluations cover up to 4 years.
One circumstance you may find of interest is that.......from
among
the pronounced majority of subjects observed, pathogenic afflictions among those
individuals receiving "prophylactic"----or greater----dosages of CS.....was (on
average) less than 10% of that occurring among the non-treated controls. These
data included a number of twin siblings from among several different mammal
classes, including humans.
Unfortunately, I can offer no definitive, purely statistical,
evidence upon which you can establish a conclusive paradigm relating to the
human
"immune response", as modified by Colloidal Silver----one way or the other.
Our speculations toward such would only be counter-productive to your inquiry.
I wish I could have been of greater assistance in supplying you
a
more satisfactory answer to your inquiry.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
