Hi Malcolm. Ya know, you're right, the topic has left the realm of reason. Regardless of warnings to be careful, or cautious, people are gonna do what they do, just because it seems to works and its what they've always done. Lot of things work...how is the question. Smear yourself with WD40 or diesel fuel if it works for you. Someone told me that WD40 has ingredients that are not listed because it is proprietory and patented. Now, iffen you ever find out the entire list of ingredients, please....feel free to post them.
Malcolm Stebbins <[email protected]> wrote: "Known Toxins"?????????? Considering the Extremely common use of WD 40 for its intended purposes and the so-far Total lack of cites ( "... other than hearsay testimonials", of course) for its imputed toxicity, coupled with the many claims for damages brought against manufacturers of "safer choices" for arthritic insults, the topic has left the realm of reason for the arena of the language wars. Its location on the silver list is moot.

It would be prudent for anyone suggesting or condoning such a remedy to provide something, anything, other than heresay testimonials that would refute the obvious danger of using known toxins to improve a condition that is treatable with safer choices.

People and good intending folks should freely hear and discuss all matters including urban legends. I find it commendable that someone fires a warning shot when they suspect another is not acting reasonable. We should not be afraid of discussions, and opinions, no matter how long winded, boring and irrelevant I may think they are... Ed Kasper LAc.

I can not image anyone using a product with petroleum distillates on the skin for medical purposes, and particularly not on a routine basis. We need to be careful about discussions of this kind, which should go on the Off Topic list. JBB -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
