Hi folks, Could I ask a few of you to do a favor for me, and please forward this message to John Stevens? I'll let each of you decide for yourselves if you'd like to assist. Feel free to cc: me on your message. I'm beginning to fear he really does have the list owner in his kill- file, and thus never actually sees my attempts to encourage improvement in his attitude or behavior. Either that, or he simply wants his opinions to be meekly accepted without debate, or he will mock and belittle anyone who doesn't toe his line -- and apparently considers the wishes of his host in this matter to be beneath his notice. The number of people who are such misfits as to actually fail to get along in this environment is satisfyingly small. I'm truly hoping he's not going to choose to be one of the elite few... <sigh> Thank you, Mike Devour silver-list owner ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date forwarded: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 10:32:45 -0800 From: "M.

Seems like the gang mentality is > back and no one is thinking for themselves. It's not an either-or thing, folks. John, the "Blue Man" is so irrelevant to what MaryAnn was saying that what you said *does* sound like Quackwatch scare tactics; just as your unqualified statement that daily use *will* harm the flora both contradicts extensive experience and was potentially harmful. Far more relevant are the solid, informative discussions we've had in the last few weeks, documenting and analyzing two real, live cases of generalized argyria. These gentlemen used CS that appears to fit our definition of "good" in such large amounts for so long that it obviously overcame their bodies' ability to excrete it. Somewhere between the demonstrably harmless 'swig-a-day' and 'a half- liter a day for 2 years' now known to have caused at least one or two cases of argyria, we have resolved a threshold, one that we formerly did not recognize. That's where MaryAnn's comments show that we still need to adjust our thinking to include this new information. "Careful" now needs to apply to very aggressive EIS use, MaryAnn, sadly enough. This news enhances the importance of the advice to supplement with selenium and vitamin E to support elimination when using silver in large amounts, just as we acknowledge that probiotics will be helpful when enough silver *is* being taken for it to harm the flora. Simple disagreement with your opinions is not justification for accusing other members of "gang mentality," [edit: add "know-it-all" and "slipshod"...] John. Your opinions are welcome, but do not demand immunity from dissent. Finally, I wish to deal with a minor issue: John Stevens: Just to be sure, I want to mention that on a few occasions in the last several weeks, I've made postings like this one, intended to referee these minor disputes *and* encourage improvement in the behavior of those involved, e.g., my remark addressed to you just above. Your lack of response to some of these makes me worry that you might have added my address to your kill-file or are experiencing some other technical difficulty that prevents you seeing messages from me. So, please let me know that you have seen and read this message? Thank you very much!
