Hi all, If the bacterial balance in the body is good to start with, one really has no concern about overly disturbing it without taking very high amounts of CS. This is only common sense. If the bacterial balance is disturbed, then a positive action was needed regardless of the use of colloidal silver.
I agree Janis, you ought to stick around! Although this deals with another substance used in the intestines, the reasoning is the same: ( quoting from the Eytons' Earth website ): COMMENTS: While the bentonite is working to remove the undesirable bacteria it could also remove an equal number of desirable bacteria, but when one realizes the large difference in the relative population of the this may not present a problem. In a normal healthy individual the population of desirable bacteria can run from 100,000 to 100,000,000 per cubic centimeter while the undesirable will generally run only 1/10 of one percent to 1% ( .001 to .01 ) of that number. However, when the population of undesirable bacteria gets up to 2% or 3%, the individual may be in real trouble and may perhaps have as, cramps, or serious diarrhea. To illustrate, assume a desirable population of 50,000 organisms with 1% undesirable or 500,000, assuming that the undesirable population increases to 2% or 1,000,000 and by increasing the quantity of bentonite suppose we removed 500,000 of each within 2 hours, we then would get: Desirable 50,000,000 But, Undesirable 1,000,000 Removed 500,000 Removed 500,000 Balance 49,500,000 We now have 500,000 or a reduction of only 1% which should be rapidly replaced with or a reduction of 50% in this category, bringing the population back to a more normal state, where it should stay if conditions of normal good health prevail. Note: In this summary Dr. Lind stated, "It also appears that if one wishes to accurately determine that a specific organism will be removed or sorbed from the gut by bentonite, one must set up "in vivo" experiments in animals. This would involve oral administration of the specific organism in question and following its path through the gut in the presence of a bentonite preparation." The clinical work done by Dr. Damrau's group mentioned in the first paragraph of this article, seems to have already demonstrated this "in vivo" ( in the body ) within the scope of the matters under investigation. In that research results in the treatment of diarrhea in humans were indicated as 97% satisfactory and had the dosage been raised as per Dr. Lind's procedures, the results might have been more impressive. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
