Sorry for the caps if it was offensive to anyone. This IS a community of caring individuals otherwise we wouldn't be privy to the vast knowledge and "testing" from several individuals on this list. The "intellects" (and us "not-so-intellects") of this list DO care very much about the well-being of people and animals. And if we lived in a perfect world, we could have doctors recommending CS (but then would Big Pharma be there too, to try and ban CS because "they" can't profit from it like they can synthetic antibiotics?).
As to the "Who cares... What difference does it make"... Well, I DO care, but I "trust" what I've learned and what I have experienced over the last several years. Guess it's like owning a car - I don't know all the workings, etc. of the thing, but if I go to those in the know and learn from various experiences I've had using it, I don't actually have to BE a mechanic. Anti-intellectualism was not an issue in my post.

Proof or no proof, WHO CARES... WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT > MAKE? > WHY ALL THE CAPS, LOL? Seriously, it may make a vast difference if one cares about the well-being of people in general. Like my Mother, for whom "the doctor said so" is right up there with "it's in the bible". Or my best friend, dead now because the doctors were "the authority", and I with my silver was "crazy" and "probably experiencing a placebo effect". Yes, I'd like to see a community of caring people who are not anti-intellectuals attempt to nail down enough credible, scientifically-oriented evidence to make a compelling case that could then be taken seriously enough to prompt some federal grant for further investigation which might yield some compelling scientific facts. I'd like to see people come away from the doctor's office with knowledge of CS rather than a prescription for some corrosive chemical concoction which will do harm for which they will require another visit, another prescription... Of course, some people don't care about all that. The planet's over-populated anyway, right? I'm healthy; screw them, right? But for those of us who do care, anti-intellectualism is not the answer. indi -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
