<A HREF="http://www.quackwatch.org/";>Quackwatch Home Page</A> Hi, I was alarmed by a friend who sent me this link above. Scroll down to Colloidal Silver. Then her letter of personal health problems. See Below. What are your opinions please? I honestly, have felt worst & have more medical issues over the past 4 years since CS usage. Muscle aches, frozen shoulder, chest pain, leg pain...... Nancy
Dear Nancy, This was a website that was reccommended to me by the Radiologist that did my chest xray series last week. She found a cloudy appearance all OVER my soft tissues that indicated multiple small metal deposits. She asked me many questions concerning where I could have gotten such a high level of metal. I told her that I have been taking CS occasionally for the past 5 years., She felt, very alarmingly, that this was what the deposits might be. She gave me a few websites to check out. I was reccomended to get chelation therapy.. this is the only FDA approved treatment for removing excess metal in suspension from the body. She also said that infrequently, she has noticed a few other series on different people that had the same appearance on the films.. She said that many of them were older people that were exposed to lead based paint, or worked with metal for a living. She is beginning to suspect that some of the other people that had no idea, might be involved with ingesting CS also.. This is something that she is planning on looking into. She also made a statement that metal stays in the body FOREVER, and if a tiny dose of silver can cure everything, why didn't continue to work as it becomes a permanent fixture in the body. NOW, I am still haveing the constrictive chest pains, that was the purpose of the initial DR visit and xrays.. NOW, because.. If you understand how an MRI works off of the available iron, and mineral metals in the body to get an image with varying degrees of resonance and magnetic levels.. How is this excessive metal in my body going to affect my MRI when I have to go for that series for diagnostics for my soft tissue that the xrays couldnt see???? I am VERY upset about this situation.. I have also done even more research and found a lot more than I expected on the negative aspect of CS in the body.. Like I said.. the one thing that stands out the most in my mind.,. is if they claim that only a few grains of silver will do the trick, and its in your body forver, why doesn't it continue to work forever or at least as long as the silver remains in your body, why would you have to continue upping the dosage.. Not only that.. I might also have to be subjected to a needle biopsy to identify positively what this metal is.. but the signs all ;oint tp silver.. Chelation is the ONLY way to remove metal from the body.. when I did research on what it takes.. it takes 20-30 treatments at 2 -3 hours each time with a IV in your arm.. and the costs are in the thousands Per treatment.. I am NOT interested in doing CS anymore.. I find that there is a GOOD chance that trhe time that I took it, the power of suggestion healled me before the actuall CS did,.. I have a gut feeling that CS was doing me more harm than good... I am getting tired of all the bullshit snake oil remedies that peiople claim cure everything.. I have to be honest.. I still have stomach trouble from the bug I caught in Tahiti.. It did NOT treat it.. I had to do traditional meds and antibiotics and anti parasytics.. and it still isn't cured.. controlled, but not cured. I have other problems, and I have friends that I now feel like I lead them astray touting the virtues of CS... Knowing that some would rather take it for serious things rather than see a real DR and get treated. I feel guilty, and would even feel guiltier if somethinmg bad happened because they didCS and not see a DR. I'm sure that there are a LOT of people on your CS list that will claim what I am saying as BS, but how many have had a complete chest xray series since they started.. AND a series to compare them too BEFORE they started ???? I am scared to death.. so, I have since trashed my generator and boxed up my ingots.. I am sworn off anything that would last permanently in my system.. Judy has had Cancer for years.. 18 different KINDS in separate areas of her body.. boobs, ovaries, uterus, colon, lymph glands.. all over.. she's had surgeries every year since Kathy and I have known her.. in fact, last year she said " I am notaccepting anything that says no food or water from midnight on",,.. She refused to hear those words until her Gall bladder was killing her.. Kathi and I had turned her on to CS a few years back.. Now , I don't know how often she was taking it, But, I do know she was desparate never to have to go through the pain of surgery again.. She is still haveing problems.. How can that be? What about Kathis problems??? Her ears, her boobs, her lumpy lymph glands, her fibroid, painful breasts? She takes CS daily in Ounces!!!! I am no longer sold on this stuff that might possibly prevent me from getting the MRI I need to diagnose my lung pain because of the excessive metal in my body.. I'm sorry this is so long, but it takes a hit too close to home to make somepeople open their eyes to the truth, and the truth is, I am a believer that CS is NOT a cureall, nore is it a replacement for traditional medicine.. and I also believe that I can never be convinced otherwise.. Love, Laurelle
