I have just spoken to Gary Warke, manager of SBA Amalgamated in Melbourne who is being inundated with calls after a rather damaging article in today's Herald Sun here in Australia.He desperately needs the articles on the blue senator. I recall reading some emails/correspondence directly with the senator in which was explained how he made his CS (tapwater in paper cup etc). As there are so many articles on this topic could someone, perhaps the original author please send a copy to Gary directly, or anyone who can support him right now. His email address is [email protected] He would be eternally grateful for any info.
The article I'm referring to is pasted below: Cure-all warning By Nick Papps November 19, 2002 A TOXIC cure-all that turns your face blue is being sold by a Melbourne company. SBA Amalgamated Pty Ltd is being investigated by the corporate watchdog after selling colloidal silver as a cure for 640 different diseases. Health authorities have warned using the product can cause brain and kidney damage and turn skin blue permanently. Several people in the United States, including a politician, now have blue skin after taking colloidal silver in a liquid solution. But a website run by the Bayswater company claims colloidal silver has no side effects and is "safe for all ages to use". SBA Amalgamated is selling a colloidal machine for $150 from an office at the front of its Bayswater factory. Advertised in the company catalogue, the "basic colloidal machine" plugs into a power point and consists of two silver anodes that are placed in water to create silver particles in the liquid, which is then drunk. This week, the Herald Sun visited SBA Amalgamated, was shown a machine and told it would cost $150. But yesterday SBA Amalgamated sales manager Gary Warke denied the company was selling colloidal machines "on a commercial basis". "We might have a few odd ones - on a commercial basis we aren't selling them," Mr Warke said. "A few of the staff have bought them." Mr Warke said he and his wife drank colloidal on a "regular basis". But the company was not selling the machines as "we felt we didn't have the knowledge that would require us to sell them". The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is investigating SBA over alleged breaches of the Trade Practices Act. The Federal Government's Therapeutic Goods Administration plans to outlaw the sale of colloidal silver as a cure-all by year's end. The director of the TGA's office of complimentary medicines, Dr Fiona Cumming, said drinking the product posed a significant health risk. Herald Sun --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
