Colloidal Silver group, This is an old article, but not sure if everyone has seen it. I had not until this evening. It is too bad that the Mayor had to lose his position as Mayor because he advocated using Colloidal Silver. I am an advocate for colloidal silver and believe that it does have some medicinal qualities. I am sold on it!
here's the article Reporter-News Archives Thursday, December 13, 2001 Small-town mayor who touted silver as anthrax cure resigns, calls himself victim of 'jihad' HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. (AP) The mayor of this central Florida town has resigned two months after proclaiming a silver-laced liquid could cure anthrax and other ills. Greg Bittner stepped down Monday night during a Town Council meeting, saying he was the victim of a holy war. We've sort of had a Jihad in this town for about a year now against the mayor, Bittner said before walking out of the meeting to applause from citizens who packed the council chambers. Bittner refused to comment Tuesday on his resignation. The town's new mayor said the uproar over Bittner's touting of colloidal silver an elixir dismissed as ineffective by doctors and the government and the council's subsequent public rejection of the proposed cure-all led to the resignation. He really wouldn't let that go, Mayor Pro Tem Scott Kearney said. Bittner first advocated the use of the elixir at a council meeting on Oct. 8, during the anthrax-by-mail scare. He expounded on his beliefs in the town newsletter and even proposed buying a colloidal silver generator for the town of 956 residents, located 30 miles northwest of Orlando. This is probably one of the greatest medicinal items to ever come along, he said. Other council members used the town's newsletter to rebuke Bittner in November. The town council of Howey-in-the-Hills does not endorse or encourage the use of colloidal silver, the statement said. If you are sick, your doctor should prescribe the medication best for you. Bittner had served on the Town Council for four years, two in the $200-a-month position of mayor. Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission officials criticized Bittner's promotion of colloidal silver's supposed healing powers. A ban on marketing it as a remedy for any disease was put in place two years ago, with a warning that it can it turn human skin permanently blue and gray-End of article -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
