The Hunza are considered one of the healthest people on earth and are known for their mental, physical, and emotional superiority. ("The Wonders of Colloidal Silver", Dhyana L. Coburn and Partick D.

(Secrets of the Soil by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird). So we have a society that drank large amounts of silver in colloidal form all their life, and what was the result. They are considered the healthiest people on earth. I do believe that this shows that long term use of CS is not a problem. Marshall >>
Marshall: Well, that hardly constitutes proof considering all of the confounding variables within their lifestyle. Hey, look, if I didn't FEEL that there was an acceptable risk that CS intake is harmless, I would never have undertaken my 5 month ingestion/retention study. But to extrapolate our collective exposure to CS out to 15, 30 or more years, is not based on science, but hope. I, for one, HOPE you're right, but until I see real data, the question remains unanswered. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
