Hello, James, Thank you for the reference to myopathy. Searle mentions just topical use of colloidal iron against upper respiratory tract infections, though he alludes to internal use against chlorosis, anaemia, erysipelas and cellulitis. He warns against iron in compound form injected into the bloodstream because it can act as a coagulant. In very large amounts, iron in compound form can be tumorgenic. It would be interesting to see a comparison of colloidal iron with hydrogen peroxide as a topical treatment for URT infection.

Myopathy is one. Jim -----Original Message----- From: Matthew McCann [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CS>Sinus Infection On page 88 of Searle's text The Use Of Colloids In Health And Disease, he mentions that colloidal iron has particular bactericidal action "in cases of catarrh of the nose, larynx and pharynx" and that the colloidal form of iron is not affected by gastric juices, unlike iron compounds. Has anybody any experience with colloidal iron with upper respiratory infection? Can it be made by a LVDC method? What source of iron makes a good, pure electrode? Are there toxicity issues? Thanks in advance for your input. Matthew
