Dear Allen,
This opinion, if quoted correctly, surprises me (especially if
rendered by the Senior Dr. Campbell). My reasoning is based upon the
consideration that--to my knowledge---William Douglass Campbell, Sr. has not
been a direct party to evaluations involving electrically-generated colloidal
silver. If, in fact, he has taken the second-hand, unresearched, opinion of
others....I am greatly saddened; as I have followed both the medical and
literary career of this person.....for many; years.
Almost without exception, I have found him to base his opinions on direct
knowledge or research; this type comment is quite uncharacteristic of him. I
would be surprised if someone else (possibly junior Dr. Campbell) was not the
progenitor of these comments----at least I certainly hope so.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley..
