Dear Theo,
You said: <<Catherine and others, What can we beginners believe? Where do we go for the real truth and evidence that a product really does what people say it does? Even here people don't agree, so who do we believe? I want to believe all the good things said about Cs, that it can cure almost everything but I know better, but what is the scientific truth? Right now I'm trying to find real information about coral calcium. I'm lost ! >> ** You're watching the process of scientific discovery. Interestingly, this substance is also available to the public if they are at least smart enough to hook together a few batteries and attach some silver wire. Then, you have those who have more knowledge and can create something more sophisticated. What ends up happening is you get those with professional scientific equipment reporting their findings, those with some scientific equipment and good sense of the empirical, and those who have no science background and make it or buy it, find it helps them with something, so begin singing the praises of CS. In one way, you don't have to worry about where the truth is for simple everyday applications. It all works fairly well. When it comes to more sophisticated applications, I'll go with those with the equipment, knowledge and intellectual curiosity. Some of the disagreement here right now has nothing to do with CS. It has to do with marketing. There is also an element of competition involved. There are several people here with a vast fund of knowledge about CS. It doesn't concern me when some of them disagree. It does concern me when one dismisses another's knowledge and work. I am less likely to trust what this person says even though I may know that certain things they are saying are correct. I would be less likely to trust other things they say that I cannot investigate due to lack of equipment. When emotions enter into the equation, they displace science and intellect. I feel I can no longer trust what is being termed "science" under these conditions. Ideally, the scientific community, both pro and semi-pro, would put aside personality conflicts, marketing issues, envy, and other pettiness and work together to provide solid information to the public. But it is seldom that we get what is ideal. Ultimately, we all need to use our own discernment. For me, for everyday applications, I'll go with something I can produce. But if I am going to use it for more serious applications I will go with the scientist who endeavors at all times to sort out the truth without needing to insult or discredit others while in the course of seeking the truth. It's no secret here that I am partial to Mesosilver. The science behind it makes sense to me, and the knowledge and integrity of the scientists appeals to me. Anybody who manufactures CS that is considered expensive (though of excellent quality), and tells me a home set up with a fish tank pump used for stirring can make a viable product (perhaps not appropriate for more serious applications), even if it doesn't remain stable for long, is a winner in my book. That being said, there are several others here who have this level of integrity. I trust them, as well.
