More serious than the attacks on CS by that obsessive MD who runs Quackwatch
is this opinion in the current issue of the respected alternative health
newsletter Second Opinion, which is run by William Campbell Douglass.
In response to a reader's query about hearing that CS is valuable as an
antibiotic which kills a wide variety of bad things, Douglass replied:
"Everything you say about CS is true, but only if it is applied externally;
it should not be taken by mouth (emphasis in the original). We've written
about this many times in Second Opinion, but need to remind folks every now
and then. The marketing blitz, which claims this "nutrient" is good for you
when taken internally, is persuasive, but don't believe it.
"Silver, if absorbed through the intestinal tract, stores in the gums,
giving an unattractive bluish appearance. Fortunately, little of the oral
products are absorbed because of the size of the CS molecule. It's okay to
use it as a topical antibiotic, as it's been used by the medical profession
for 40 years in that way. In my experience, I've found that three-percent
hydrogen peroxide on infected wounds is much more effective and it will cost
you only pennies per treatment. Another excellent use for H202 is for sore
throats. Gargle and spit it out. Caught early, and treated three times a
day, 95 percent of sore throats can be nipped in the bud. Silver, in any
form, is not this versatile and since we have H202, is seldom needed except
for the treatment of burns."
