The NCCAM is the US National Centre for Complementary and Alternative
Medicine. Most of you have probably heard of it. They spend MILLIONS
OF YOUR DOLLARS funding research into alternative health products.
(http://nccam.nih.gov/ http://nccam.nih.gov/grants/)
It appears they have never conducted or funded any original research
into Colloidal Silver. I'd like to know why. (Yes I know they have
a 'Backgrounder' but that's not what I'm looking for.)
My request is that one or more of you 'Silverlisters' will send the
following brief email to NACCM. I think the appropriate contact to
start with would be this person..
Carol Pontzer, Ph.D. E-mail: pontz...@mail.nih.gov
(http://nccam.nih.gov/grants/contact/#jg)
"Dear Dr Pontzer,
Could you please advise me if NCCAM has ever received an application
for a grant to conduct research into the medicinal use of Colloidal
Silver? If so, could you please advise me of your response to that
request.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Your name, address, phone, etc."
(As an Australian I think it would probably be useless to ask NCCAM
myself. I doubt I would even get a response. So I'm hoping one of you
US TAXPAYERS will take up the task and get back to the group.)
Please note that I'm not interested in getting funding myself. I just
think the answer to this question could be quite enlightening. It
looks to me like the vast bulk of NCCAM research funding goes to
medical schools and universities who know that its a bad idea to
rattle Big Pharma's chain, so consequently they research stuff that
the big drug companies couldn't care less about. (See completed NACCM
trials here... http://tiny.cc/hmsb0 ).
If no research has been done simply because no-one has asked for
funding then maybe thats something we should make widely known.
So, will someone do this for me and the silverlist team.
Cheers,
David
