Greetings, Bill! You've found about the best resource available for information on colloidal silver. However, Mike is certainly correct about "peer reviewable" studies. There are very few ( that I've found ) out there.
However, a little diligent research will certainly show that many companies are heavily researching silver. Browsing the website www.silverinstitute.org is a great starting place for this information, or you can gain an overview of a few particularly interesting articles @ http://silverdata.20m.com/commercial2.html Perhaps this might be a great direction to begin the approach of your writing? The question is: Why are RX companies spending millions of dollars developing hospital use ionic silver equipment if ionic silver is not effective? Why are these same companies NOT planning on marketing a colloidal silver for public use? The answers are of course very simple, and can be summed up with the post 80's corporate philosophy. It is not enough to make a profit; shareholders want to see high profit margins. The FDA is even approving colloidal silver generators that go into the body. Companies are researching patentable silver protein combinations. If you explore this angel in your opening ( of course I'm certainly not trying to tell you how to write!!! ), you can document the effectiveness of silver use from "non-questionable" sources. If you can hit on this angle, then tie it in with the theory of colloidal silver efficacy, you then may be substantiated enough to hit where it "hurts" - human interest. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Missett <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 6:12 AM Subject: Re: CS Questions > Dear Mike: > > Thank you for putting things in perspective. > > I can see from the "chat" (hope that wasn't offensive to the chatees) that > the forum members are not casual experimenters. > > I may opt to tap their individual expertise for story purposes, but right > now I have more angles than I can possibly cover in one article.
