I know, it takes a leap of faith and is said tongue in cheek, but if you gather 
enough anecdotal evidence; then you would have data..

  I believe anecdotal is an adjective, and thus has no plural.  That would be 
like saying the plural of blue or big.

      Subject: CS anectdotal evidence?
       I'm really frustrated. I have searched the net and found everything I 
could find on colloidal silver and all it's benefits and there is lots of great 
info. I am trying to prove to my father inlaw that the claims about cs are 
true. He says all you have is anecdotal evidence and no "clinical proof". I 
tried to explain to him that the pharmaceutical companies won't pay millions 
for clinical trials for something they can't patent. He says he trusts what Dr 
Andy Weil says about cs and which is that there is no clinical proof that it 
works. I sent him the testimonies, UCLA tests and BYU tests but these were done 
in petri dishes and test tubes. Are there any cs clinical trials that have been 
done out there, maybe in Europe ? 
      Thanks
