Silver is not toxic BECAUSE it isn't a nutrient.
There is no nutritional niche or function for it to overload.

"Organic" means something is bound to carbon. [and occurs in nature? ]

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 organicversus inorganicmeans that a mineral is BOUND to something else. However, I also know that silver is not metallicin 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 nutrientthough its 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.
