Hi, before the political comments broke in, John had raised some good questions. He asked me if I'd reprise his message...

Working from memory now, I think there was a study back in the forties that measured dietary silver intake, among many other minerals, indicating that it was some several tens of micrograms of silver per day at that time. The research was attempting to measure the effects of soil depletion on the food supply. It's only gotten worse since then. There is a pretty basic distinction to be made between supplementation and/or prophylactic use of CS and "therapeutic" doses that clearly act in ways apart from normal bodily function. I suspect that there *is* an unacknowledged component of silver deficiency in some health problems. Excellent question. I tend to agree with John's other points, below.
