Correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the impression that CS is NOT an antibiotic. If I am not mistaken, antibiotics generally come from mold and bacteria. I'm not sure how you would classify CS, maybe antibiotic-like. More likely is that CS is in another class altogether. Antibiotics kill bacteria only. Apparently, CS can kill bacteria, virus, and any simple, single cell organism. > >How are we " made up of bacteria " ?... I have never heard of that before? > We may not be made up of bacteria, but no doubt bacteria are vital to our life processes. Bacteria are present in our mouths, on our skin, and in our digestive tracts to name a few. Lactobacillus Acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium Bifidum are a few that I take daily to keep my digestion functioning properly. And yes I can tell you from experience, you can kill off the good bacteria with CS. I use it sparingly, internally because it tends to mess up my digestion. By adding Acidophilus/Bifidum back to the system, I can counteract the effect somewhat. Others don't seem to have this problem and I really don't know why. Just a side note, in the absence of the proper intestinal floura, candida yeast can take over and make you pretty sick. I'm fighting something along this order right now I think. As for the whole argument about whether to apply CS to the soil, I think the truth lies somewhere between both opinions expressed. I see that CS could be useful to kill molds, fungus and etc., and I can also see that CS could ultimately cause some problems for the soil. It is bacteria that converts dead organisms into plant and animal usable molecules. Bacteria is also apparently responsible for nitrogen-fixing. To quote my trusty World Book Encyclopedia, "Without these bacteria, the soil and water would soon become poor in nitrogen, and all plants and animals would die." -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
