Hi Tracy,

If I read his message correctly, at one place in his message He says that
"Colloidal Silver has never
been researched..", Then later on in his message He says "... Since I
researched the issue.."

He does not seem to have any proof.  It might be interesting to ask him what
he has found in
his research...
