When I first started checking into all this about a month ago. I was
confused about a lot of things.  I am thankful for this site. One company
that is selling so called CS is claiming that you need 5000ppm to treat
severe   chronic illesses.  (Which I have, Lyme Disease) They claim to sell
this and even say that they offer 10,000 ppm, but can only be purchased by a
physician.  Anybody know what I'm talking about?  Heidi


Sounds like an ad for [MSP] Mild Silver Protein from http://www.invive.com/.
 MSP is the stuff that sometimes has mold and bacterium growing in it.
This is possible because the protein stabilizer coats the silver and protects the contaminants from contact...and also why it takes so much of it to do anything.

They talk of "Pharmaceutical Grade", but CS has never been in an official pharmacopeia and no doctor I know of is "prescribing" it in any form from any source. [Whispered asides? Maybe.] Are they still recommending a 20 PPM concentration in the 'bloodstream' when 20 Parts Per Billion [available silver] will sterilize sewer water?
Yup

"If the solution is not at least500 p.p.m. you will not be able to achieve a 2 p.p.m. to 20 p.p.m. concentration of silver in the bloodstream to address most common pathogens, let alone the current mutated pathogens."

..sounds really dangerous.  I'm amazed they're still around.

Unless...[conspiracy ahead] Invive is being protected in order to produce some negative press down the road. CS is not a grandfathered item as a "drug" which is defined , by the FDA, as something that cures or treats a disease.
 It can only be sold as a supplement.
 The FDA has made that pretty clear.
In the copy, Invive makes blatant cure claims complete with dosage regimes, then discounts them in the disclaimer as well as saying they aren't allowed to do what they did. There have been numerous websites that haven't gotten away with that, sometimes even getting "the letter" demanding removal of links to mere testimonials.

I like this... [doubletalk]

"The product falls within the guidelines as they existed before the 1938 Federal Regulatory take-over of our food and drug supply. Therefore we can distribute "THIS pre 1938 ORIGINAL FORMULA" without FDA "new" drug approval, in order to make this powerful completely non toxic mild silver protein formulation available to the people of America as a dietary supplement. "

So, now we can sell this "drug" as a supplement.
But, NOTHING was classified as a drug, or not a drug, before 1938.
Cocaine, heroin, arsenic and mercury compounds were in the same catalogue and everything was sold over the counter.

Many of the statements concerning ionic silver [even silver chloride] are, simply put....patently untrue. [Silver chloride does kill germs, just not very well in comparison.] "Ionic silver precipitates out" ??? "Ionic silver is toxic" ??? [surprise surprise]

[Not that many things claimed by "ionic" silver sellers ARE true, or ionic silver is being properly or clearly defined as it really is, or that the whole truth is even known.]
If ions can clump and settle, they aren't "ions".

If what they say about the purity of silver bullion is true, where do they get different silver that's more pure than the 4 nines that many home generator people use? Even at 3 nines, the contaminants added to distilled water are far far...far... less than that in average tap water or one bite of food. You probably get more stray metals from breathing.

..too much BS to even sort it all out.
I've known people who switched from MSP to "ionic" cheap home brew and washed their moldy shower curtains with the high dollar store bought. [They didn't say if that worked or not, just that they decided the pricey store bought MSP wasn't fit to use on themselves.]
