And in your comment would you explain why East Indians have been eating silver foil for thousands of years without any harm that I know of? Thanks.

List, One of my respected colleagues recently wrote the following about colloidal silver: "It usually does not muscle test as good for people. It certainly is an effective pathogen killer. On the other hand, it is not in an organic form and it does not appear to be a nutrient in the metallic form. The body may treat it as a toxic metal." My understanding is that "organic" versus "inorganic" means that a mineral is BOUND to something else. However, I also know that silver is not "metallic" in the sense I think he is using the term. I would think that the EIS we all make is more ELEMENTAL silver. Besides, according to my research, silver is an essential nutrient-though it's unclear in what form it must be in order for the body to use it as an essential nutrient. Can someone who is better versed in chemistry than I am please comment? Thanks. Nenah
