CS Enthusiasts J Britten has a legitimate concern regarding the need for good research, but I am uncomfortable with the implication that there is some problem with not "..... exploring the potential risks of CS.......(and) merely extolling its benefits." This suggests an irresponsible approach and I do not believe this to be fair. Being new here I am very pleased to see that there are indeed a lot of very effective remedies against many illnesses, and many of these remedies are on a sort of FDA blacklist. So we are living in a culture of dishonesty where we are compelled to speculate. Quite the contrary of JBB's suggestion I think our behavior is admireable.
I also looked into Nick's post to speculate as to what it might be that JBritten considers responsible on Nick's part, something that he is doing that others of us are not. The only reference I could find seems to be where Nick refers to his concern that his daughter's having taken CS might have masked the symptoms of the brochitis. I can imagine a similar problem would have occurred if a parent had irresponsibly put a child on penecilin, without a doctor's prescription. But then connvetional doctors do not prescribe CS. Again, we are in a culture where we have to do this for ourselves. By the way Nick, we are all pulling for your daughter, and thanks for the message.

Britten) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Thanks to Nick Grant for this thoughtful post, one of the first I have read exploring the potential risks of CS, rather than merely extolling its benefits. Nick, I hope for the complete recovery of your daughter, and thank you for sharing you valid concerns during a time of terrible stress in your family. As a mere dabbler with CS and electromedicine, I can not answer the question, and only the kind of long-term, expensive controlled studies we are unlikely ever to see could provide answers. That is at the core of the problem all of us on this list face. It seems to me that some kind of organized project, by which a group of volunteeers who are not taking CS have their blood tested, and then tested again after a period of using CS, would be most useful. Perhaps such are already identified in the archives? JBB -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
