Colloidal Silver is an incredible remedy and FREE!

I knew I would get a response from someone who is naive on the subject, and is subject to the BARRAGE of out and out lies put out by the FDA to try to convince all of us that somehow this miracle of science is false. NOTE : Wikipedia is NOT a complete or trustworthy source on most things the common cold is quite common, and there are more virulent forms of pneumonia which can be quite debilitating or deadly. Strep, E Coli and so on cause immense suffering and death yearly to millions, especially in the winter time. Now I will point out I have NO MOTIVE here financially speaking- I am not heavily invested in the Silver market (you only use like 1/4 OZ per year or 1$ worth of Silver) and I dont care if you buy or make a collidal silver generator or not you are free to buy the government DISINFORMATION , or look at the evidence I present here and the anectdotal eveidence, which you can believe or not. NOW TO YOUR POINT #1 - where you basically lose the debate ! Now, on to the substance of the debate. I concede a single point of yours: silver is capable of killing bacteria. In fact, silver nitrate (not colloidal silver) is still used in neonatal centers to prevent eye infection. Silver can interfere with certain pathways that bacteria use to produce ATP, the chemical used by cells to harness the energy derived from breaking down sugars, fats, and proteins. (If you have the background, my source is http://aem.asm.org......, but it's unfortunately rather technical.) To be perfectly clear, I concede nothing beyond what was in the previous paragraph. Now I am going to direct anyone here interested in the discussion further to read the paper by Yamanaka, Hara , and Kudo "Bactericidal Actions of a Silver Ion Solution on Eshchechila Coli..." APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY Nov 2005 p 7589 - 7593. link http://aem.asm.org... I am not going to assume your intelligence or ability to understand the concepts here, but read it anyway ! (from a Chem E) This proves the point that SILVER IONS ie. COLLOIDAL SILVER is a DEADLY FOE of the worst pathogens known to man I am going to put forth some more links here to buttress my case, but first and anecdotal story, from my life, totally true SOLARMANS ANECDOTAL STORY ABOUT MAKING HIS WIFE A BELIEVER When I was dating my wife, she didnt beleive me about Collidal Silver, and her Doctor dad convinced her it was quackery- like you assert She was coming down with Strep throat, which she commonly got before she met me, being a social worker in SF and dealing with sick people all the time. She had white bumbs all over one side of her throat- a sure sign, a fever, and aches. I told her to PLEASE ! PLEASE ! just drink som silver I made her. with my little hokey beat up homemade generator, consisting of 3 9V rechargable batteries (hot distilled water for 15 min) She said- well I am going to the doctor tomorow- I have nothing to lose I put some licorice tea in it to take away the metallic taste. 2 hours- 2 HOURS later the bumps were GONE the symptoms were gone completely the next morning and did not return. I have not had a cold or any other illness in 15 years. I regularly drink a glass every other day or soin the winter, and less so in the summer. My kid (6 months) just had a cold and we put some in his food and his cold is gone (took me a couple days to convince her it is safe for the baby) Dittos for my seven year old (I sneak it in her smoothies) NOW BACK TO SOME TECHNICAL STUFF Ok, so we have clearly establshed that Silver has excellent antibiotic properties, and that we understand the mechanism by which it works Now , cant there be something WRONG with it ? I mean, most other metals are TOXIC arent they? Well, not really, but thats a different discussion. For example, Magnesium, Iron and Selenum, Sodium and Potassium are critical Back to Silver. HISTORY OF HEALTH USES OF SILVER http://www.purestcolloids.com... please read this and get back to me Finally onto the STUPID ARYGRIA thing this is DISINFORMATION Please show me an example of someone who has blue skin from collidal silver. the cases you see, such as Rosemary whats her name, are FALSE. PERIOD. She was challenged to debate , and never showed. The FEDS spend an AMAZING amount of time on this CLEAR DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN YOU HERE SPREAD THE LIES by the FDA and others Third, silver is dangerous. ( a lie) There is a condition called argyria caused by too much exposure to silver. (not true) It is generally not life threatening. (doesnt exist) It simply causes you to irreversibly turn blue as silver accumulates in your skin, and can affect your vision as silver becomes deposited in the fluid inside of your eye. (There may actually be more serious effects. Since argyria is rare, few human studies have been done, but experiments on guinea pigs suggest that they may interfere with normal growth if used before maturity.) (please site REAL PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL ARTICLE to prove your not just repoeating crap you heard somewhere) This is REAL SCIENCE DEBATE HERE, not YOUR OPINION, undergrad. And, as a note specifically toward Solarman, making it on your own increases the chance of getting argyria compared to buying "professionally" made concoctions. (thanks, undergrad Biology Student ,for your condescending concern from a MSME in REAL SCIENCE Chemical and Mechanical Engineering) My sources were the Wikipedia articles on colloidal silver, argyria, and antiviral drugs this says it all - you just wiki'd "collidal siver" - nice try Heres your coups de gras of IGNORANCE In fact, not one study has ever shown it to be effective in treating, preventing, or otherwise benefiting people suffering from, any disease. In fact, colloidal silver has been shown to be largely ineffective against bacteria. In 1995, an advocate of colloidal silver tested various brands available. Only half of them showed any ability to halt bacterial growth on a petri dish, and none of them showed any strength beyond that of hand soap. Where is your 1995 PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE FROM A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL MORE SCIENCE SILVER IONS, COLLIDAL SILVER, SILVER NITRATE and other COMPOUNDS To be clear, Silver Nitrate will turn your skin BLACK. Other ionic compounds such as AGCl have little or no effectiveness and can be mildly toxic if ingested in LARGE quantities One needs to understand a bit of Chemistry to know the difference between different forms of silver and silver compounds- you are obviously confused here BOTTOM LINE You have read and I cite a detailed PEER REVIEWED article showing Silver's incredible antibiotic effects I also cite this NON TECHNICAL but very good article- take it for what its worth http://www.all-natural.com... I also cite my personal 15 year history with CS and witness its effectiveness I also point out : Why do you think the Royals invented SILVERWARE? I also point out- what do you or anyone have to lose by listening to me? And in order to win this debate, undergrad-peon-at-small-university-with healthy-skeptical-mind (AKA Dreaming Bearcat) You need to post a PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE FROM A REAL JOURNAL that DISPROVES MY THESIS that being : Colloidal Silver is an incredibly effective and safe home health remedy
