Re: CS, Lyme List versus Marsha

[Alvin Rose]

Hi Wayne. I am wondering if you can tell the list where you got the information that "Silver can poison the liver and kidneys if vitamin E is not present"  If it's on the internet can you please give us the URL...As you're new to the list It might be an idea for you to go back and read some of the earlier list archives in which you may find some of the answers you're looking for.

Several are not available in abstract form but are there at the universities and can be ordered.  I found out that silver can poison the liver and kidneys if vitamin E is not present.  Practical stuff like that as well as Copper blocks some of those toxic effects and is also better than silver as an anti plaque medication and had the added benefit of being an essential nutrient.  I am still trying to find out if and how much silver is recognized as an essential micronutrient.  Can anyone here answer that?  Also if silver can be "classified" as a nutrient then the NIH (national institutes of health) can award a grant for research studies on its value for treating various conditions.  If some of the side benefits turn out to be antiviral, antibacterial as well then thats another issue and I believe falls under a different category, BUT a few emails should find out.   I'll let you guys now. Please take glutathione peroxidase in a few substances like schizandra berries, beets and others but the point is that the body can synthesize it from glutathione and selenium.  The body has a genetic functionality which requires selenium as part of its antioxidant defense mechanisms. Vitamine E is just one such antioxidant.  The better one of late is alpha lipoic acid (potatoes and others) which is involved with the Krebs energy cycle of the cell.  It keeps the other antioxidants in a ready state to do their job.  Now, if anyone wants to pursue this line of reasoning please contact me as I have contact with the NIH.  It is a sad day people give up hopes.  I am glad that this is working for you.  What concentration do you use?  I have a friend that will be very interested...   thanks wayne realw...@webtv.net RealWort's Instant Pager
