She also said all the info she had read about it suggested NOT to take it as a preventative long term as it kills intestinal flora. I know this discussion has come up before, but I am wondering if anyone has any actual proof this doesn't happen, or proof that it does. Either way, I would like to know so I can make an informed choice as to give it as a preventative. Thanks Tracy >>
Tracy: A couple of months ago a conducted a survey of CS users on this forum as well as other CS users directly known to those who responded. Overall, I had 230 responses from people who have been using CS for an average of 2 1/2 years. Over 96% of this group suffered no side effects whether they used CS every day or only when they were beginning to feel ill. The majority of the remainder did experience some level of intestinal discomfort when they attempted to use CS on a daily basis. Most either reduced CS intake (since a significant number were taking a pint to a quart a day), stopped taking it for a while, or simply noticed that their intestinal problems went away with time. In any case, of those affected, I don't recall anyone complaining of long term intestinal problems. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
