Faith... what is the source you quoted from? thanks, bobL -----Original Message----- From: Faith Gagne [mailto:jitte...@gis.net] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 11:38 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>Cloudy, Particles, whatever.......... Silver is a Nutrient
"Currently there is no federally recognized 'minimum daily requirement' for silver in the human body. In 1940, R.A. Kehoe reported that under normal circumstances, the average daily intake of fruits and vegetables would provide between 50 - 100 mcg of silver as a trace element. Since that time, the commercial farm soils of this country have become extremely deficient in trace minerals. According to the Earth Summit Report issued in 1992, the levels of soil based minerals in North America have dropped over 85% in the last 100 years. So, assuming that our ancestor's diet used to contain significant trace amounts of silver, and that our diet probably has greatly reduced levels today, there is a reasonable argument for supplementing with colloidal silver daily, in spite of the fact that there is no official 'recommended daily allowance' (RDA) rating for CS. Researchers say two teaspoons of 5 ppm colloidal silver provides about 50 mcg of silver and could be considered a 'nutritional' amount if taken on a daily basis. Additionally researchers say any amount above 4 teaspoons a day, or 100 mcg, should be considered a 'therapeutic' amount. That said, it should not be assumed that electro-colloidal silver is equivalent to or has the same metabolic effect as receiving trace silver from dietary plant sources. But since there are very few plant sources of trace silver left today, many researchers believe colloidal silver is probably the best substitute." Dr. Robert Becker, author of the best selling book THE BODY ELECTRIC, recognized a correlation between low silver levels in the human body and sickness. He said a silver deficiency in humans was responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. Faith G.
