"...however he stands by the claim of long term renal problems re ingesting silver compounds..."
It will be interesting to see how much it takes.

Strikes me as being up with it - from what he said making high quality CS (colloid - not ionic solution) is anything but simple. Turns out he disowns some of the claims (eg, kills 650 pathogens) made on the web site at Silver Colloid Australia. They, as a number of other companies do, use his services as a consultant. He is not directly involved with that company. However he stands by the claim of long term renal problems re ingesting silver compounds, but it does depend on quantity and quality. Apparently there are two studies published in the JAMA that bear on the matter. You should try e-mailing him if you wish to go further. The mail address earlier listed goes first through the company before being forwarded, so may take some time. His book (due for updating in around 6 months) "Silver Colloid - The True Picture"contains the references to the JAMA studies, but I have not received it yet. regards, Kevin Nolan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Chamberlin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 2:35 AM Subject: CS>CS & renal failure > Bill Briggs was quoted as saying: > "[concerning]...CS and the dangers of renal failure. > Said it might take as long as 20 years or more, but it > would happen." > > I am not impressed by anyone's qualifications, or > letters by their name, nor am I unimpressed by a lack > of them.
