 What is he talking about? Put a silver bandage on a gouge, cut, ulcer
 etc. and the result is the accelerated growth of properly differentiated
 tissue. Does he mean that fibroblasts are inhibited in favour of stem
 cells or what?

 Silver kills bugs, it has little effect on mamalian tissue. The fact
 that prokaryotic (bacteria) cells are injured by silver cannot be
 transposed to eukaryotic (mamalian) cells, which are completed different
 physically.
 There has been no reports (that I am aware of) of silver injuring
 healthy tissue or being mutagenic, indeed most studies conclude the
 opposite.
 
 Flick's products are licenced by the FDA (not that that is much of a
 recomendation!)
 
 Is this guy a stooge or naturally ignorant?
 
 Ivan.
