If you go to Rosemarys links and read the documents carefully, you'll
find that rather than supporting her case, they disprove it. There's
some pretty slick distractive and context shifting techniques used to make
studies "look" like they are about colloidal silver but turn out be be
about massive doses of silver compounds...and I mean MASSIVE! They were
trying to induce silver poisoning and argyria in animals and pretty much
failed to do so at any dose level of any compound. NONE of the studies had
anything to do with electrocolloidal silver despite the header at the top
of the collection of studies.
One researcher expressed frustration over the difficulty in producing
argyria no matter how hard he tried, no matter what he used. One went
looking for cases and found that only about 1 in 1000 silver miners and
other silver workers that inhaled a lot of silver dust every day developed
argyria. [and silver workers rarely got sick]
It's such an extremely rare condition that even in worst case scenerios
it's difficult to produce enough cases to study it.
Now, two questions:
If doctors used to prescribe whatever it was [certainly not
electrocolloidal Bredig sol silver] that Rosemary used at the doses that
she used it at, for the period of time she used it ...where are all the
other cases? Only one case out of how many thousand possibles?
If it, whatever it was, doesn't work, why did she take it for so many years?
One of the list members made a FOIA request of the FDA for any
cases linked to colloidal silver not long ago. They had ZERO.
The Canadian version of the EPA has determined that silver is 1000 times
more toxic to microbes than it is to mammals.
The USA EPA s [conservative] max recommended level of silver [in any
form] in daily drinking water exceeds what a normal amount would be for
people who make their own CS and use it regularly.
That said, check out Stan Jones. He did manage to turn himself a little
bit blue, but he had to practice a total lack of caution with bad
information in order to do so. He was making his own in tap water. No
telling what it was he made or how strong it was [he doesn't know
either]...and he drank a LOT of it for years.
Even then, one case out of how many thousand people who may have been
throwing caution to the wind over the past 20 years or so? It's probable
that there are other factors involved.

Yes, we all know about Rosemary. She was given silver compounds by a quack
doctor, and it gave her argyria. For some odd reason she has joined
forces with
the phams and doctors who gave this to her, and claims that it was caused by
colloidal silver, which is patentedly false. Everyone on this list is still
looking for one single case of Argyria caused by properly made CS. I
suspect she
is on the take from the pharms for her assistance in stopping this from
putting
the pharms out of business. There is a lot of money at stake, and a lot
to lose
when people are no longer perpertually sick.
