I had a telephone conversation with Frank Key.  He told me that ionic colloidal silver - the type of CS that is made by all home CS generators, was basically useless according to his laboratory dish studies because silver ions bind with sodium inside our bodies and become silver chloride, which is ineffective.  His position, and his credentials, dissuaded me from believing I could buy a generator and make effective CS myself at home.  That - was before I joined this list, learned otherwise, and had a weird feeling about the whole thing.  I didn't get the impression from Professor Key that he was being dishonest when I spoke with him, but he does sell Mesosilver, which is brown, mostly silver "particles" and therefore, according to him, the only type of silver  that is effective inside of the body, as shown by his out-of-the-body laboratory dish tests.  Professor Key may really believe what he's saying, but then again, maybe not...(?)  He seems too smart to me *not* to know about metalloproteins and how they bind the silver ions for safe transport throughout the body.  It would certainly serve the pharma-cartel and FDA's interests if people didn't believe in ionic silver's effectiveness, wouldn't it?  Because then everyone would buy a generator and stop getting sick, and conventional antibiotics would become obsolete.  Why doesn't the FDA appear to be restricting or harassing Professor Key or his company's presence, sales and claims online?  Is that another "Hmmm..." ??  Gee, I don't know.  Maybe I'm just going off the deep end here.  Just ignore me.  (I mean no offense Professor Key - if you're out there.  Just dismiss me as a paranoid conspiracy theorist.)

About Rosemary Jacobs.  I agree with Ode that she must be getting compensated somehow for her major presence.  It's just too strange to me that her argyria website was so high in the search results months ago when researching CS. 

This is interesting though.  The following is copied from Ode's website at www.silverpuppy.com.   Read below for what Stan Jacobs has to say.
