Hi group. I need some advice from the knowledgeable folks here. I
own/moderate a chat group dedicated to the use of CS to treat primarily EPM in
horses. Many of us on the list have been using CS successfully for up to ten
years, at the rate of two to four cups per day of CS on an ongoing basis. Some
people have been able to discontinue CS altogether -- most have not, as
discontinuing it results in a recurrence of symptoms. One of the women on the
list has been told by her *acupuncture vet* to discontinue the CS because of
the "accumulation of heavy metals over such a long period of use (10 years in
this case)" and has suggested that instead she switch to "homeopathic silver"
which she said "his body would recognize and respond to". I Googled
homeopathic silver, and all I can seem to come up with is *colloidal silver*
and *silver nitrate*. What I'm reading sounds like misinformation to me. I
know that the EIS that we make is not comprised
of heavy metals -- don't think that silver qualifies as such anyway -- and the
woman who owns the EPM horse knows that as well. But it is difficult for
people to respond when confronted by an authority figure such as a vet. What I
need is a concise response for her regarding *homeopathic silver* that she can
understand herself, and that she can pass along to her vet in response to this
claim. I'll appreciate any responses. Thanks. MA
