Hypocrisy & double-standards! Side effects of ANY substance are weighed RELATIVE to their benefits, and CS's side effects must be evaluated RELATIVE to those of alopathic alternatives. In general, pharmaceutical's short-term side effects compare *pathetically*; and in practice, the industry keeps their long-term effects a "dirty little secret"! (Remember the Harvard study earlier this year identifiying doctor-prescibed drugs as the 2nd leading cause of US deaths.)
The fact CS's long term side effects are thus far "unproven" (after 80 years!) simply means that industry-sponsored studies haven't yet proven the *desired* results. The very dearth of negative results speaks for itself, when you RELATE this to how *readily* proven the hazardous & toxic side effects of most pharmaceuticals are! Moreover, given the hostility the FDA/AMA/PMA bloc has demonstrated toward CS, and their history of requisitioning & manipulating studies to discredit their chosen targets, you can bet that ANY NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS OF CS WOULD BE FRONT PAGE NEWS *IF* THEY COULD BE "PROVEN"! --Russ -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
