The question of whether electrically generated Colloidal Silver works in-vivo (in humans) can be settled once and for all if credible clinical trials are conducted. The National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is a US Federal Government Agency with a charter that includes the provision of funding for such research. They have a hefty budget for this.

If you have any relationship with a school, university, or any other institute that could qualify for the first ever clinical in-vivo trials of CS then I urge you to look into this. (And what institute doesnt want funds?) There have been no in-vivo clinical trials into the use of CS so a study would be ground breaking and high profile - two more reasons that should make it attractive to an institution.

The NCCAM is often referrenced as a site that's 'anti' colloidal silver so this would perhaps be an ideal test of their bias on this. If they refuse to fund the research it would be interesting to read their reasoning.

So, how about it. Has anyone on the list got any contacts with institutions that could consider this?

"NCCAM only awards funding in response to grant applications sent to NIH. NCCAM, like other NIH institutes and centers, accepts investigator- initiated applications that are based on ideas formulated by the applicant. Researchers may refer to Types of Grants and Active Funding Announcements to find grant opportunities that may be appropriate for them. Scientific review groups at the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR) or NCCAM Special Emphasis Panels provide peer review by assessing the scientific merit of all applications. The funding process is competitive. Applications with the best ratings are considered for funding.In fiscal year 2008, NCCAM funded 12% of applications received. The Funding Strategy explains how NCCAM funds applications."
