Remember, silver is a MINERAL, like iron or potassium or selenium. It is not a drug, it is a natural substance that our body needs, it is actually a form of FOOD, or what is found in food (the same as any other mineral). You don't have to tippy-toe around CS, it won't blow up or spoil or turn into a monster in your body. We ingest all kinds of things that are far more dangerous than CS could ever be, and don't give it a thought. There are 100+ deaths every year in the US from aspirin overdose, but people gobble it like candy anyway. Anytime a doctor presribes a drug that damages your liver or kidneys, we toss it down our throats without a hesitation. (I use the generic WE here, not the silver-list WE.) In order to be objective here, I will allow that drinking one gallon of 20 ppm CS each day for 20 years might (I say, MIGHT) be a bit too much (though personally, I don't believe it), but it would still be far less dangerous than the accumulative damage caused by the regular (even prescribed) usage of aspirin. Dr. Reams' son told me that every time you ingest aspirin, you bleed internally somewhere in your body. The body is quite efficient at healing those little, unnoticed bleedings, so we don't worry about it. Why am I singling out aspirin? Actually, I'm not. Aspirin is merely representative of a whole list of toxic substances we eat, drink, breathe and spread on our skin each day. Of all the substances you might be careful about using, CS is last on the list." Some of the stuff listed contains a fair amount of salt. Put CS in and what do you suppose will happen? That's right - the ionic portion (probably at least 80%) turns to silver chloride. Stuff like tomato juice, orange juice, soup etc also contains lots of organic material that CS probably binds with to some degree. According to Mark Metcalf, CS in mild silver protein form is only 1/8th as effective as unbound CS. If the CS is still effective after all that premixing with who knows how many substances, how much better would it be if not mixed? All in all, surely the sensible approach, especially if you buy CS, is to take it straight and get the best possible bang for your bucks. Kevin Nolan
