<< Did any of you hear the news report on National Public Radio yesterday (October 23rd) which was highly, highly critical of CS? I didn't hear all of it since I never listen to the radio during working hours, but one of my staff members alerted me to it about halfway through the news item. A reporter told the story of the mayor of a small town somewhere (didn't catch the name of the town) who believed that CS consumption would protect him from anthrax. He bought CS generators -- one for himself and one to keep at city hall to continually brew CS for citizens of the town who could stop in for a drink if they were inclined to do that. The NPR reporter recited that she had checked with the know-it-alls at the FDA who had pontifically declared that CS was worthless as a preventive or curative measure for anthrax infection. In fact, she elaborated, it was worse than worthless because internal consumption of CS would cause your skin to irreversibly turn blue or ashen gray. (The word "argyria" was never mentioned, incidentally.) The reporter also declared that a certain lady who had consumed CS and whose skin had turned gray as a result thereof had set up a web site to "expose" the CS scam, and that pictures of this unfortunately lady are posted on her web site. Unfortunately, neither the lady's name nor the URL was mentioned in the news report (or at least not in the portion that I heard). Well, everybody in my office knows that I brew and drink CS and once word got out that a negative news item was airing on NPR, they hit the appropriate button on their phones to bring in the radio program. One of my employees later told me that she always knew that CS was a fraud and that if I had any sense at all, I would steer clear of it. So, folks, did any of you happen to hear that news item on NPR? If so, I'd like to know the name of the town whose mayor was ridiculed in the program and would also like to know the web site address of the poor lass who's been cosmetically ruined by CS consumption. >>
I had that info! May still have it somewhere... the town is in Florida here and the article was posted on another egroup. I think the town is "Howey in the Hills" (believe it or not) What a shame that poor mayor was so badly criticised. :/ The lady you mention I had emailed back and forth a bit about CS a couple weeks ago. She was all "nicey" with me while I was looking into any risks of CS, but when I started to defend it along with other alternative health methods she grew fangs and was very bitter in emails. As long as she thought I was on her "side" she was nice. I ended up blocking her so she couldn't write anymore lengthy, spiteful emails. Before doing that I told her I could understand her bitterness due to her unfortunate experience and that I may be every bit as spiteful had such a thing happened to me. However, what she didn't seem to see that I DID see in just a couple days of web searches on argyria was that the cases of it I found mention of on the net all had to do with 'saline nasal drops.' Isn't that a bit suspicious? I figured it could easily have something to do with silver chloride rather than pure colloidal silver which causes the argyria. I feel that the warnings some people / sites make available (don't take it daily long term; use as an antibiotic rather than a daily supplement etc) is sufficient to avoid the skin discoloration. Wouldn't you think? Here's the woman's site: http://homepages.together.net/~rjstan/rose1.html I didn't have a website for the article about the mayor - the text had been posted in an egroup. I'll post the link if I come across it. Cheers. Laura -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
