Tel: Very Interesting, thanks for the post. It seems that their response was both reasonable and cordial. I never expect MD's, without any experience and only brief research, to have any other position on colloidal silver. What seperates the thinkers from the perpetually ignorant is a willingness to investigate further.

I shot back to them with my disgust, they responded. I think you should write to them too, if you have anything to say. This is a group of retired Dr.so running this company now, and they should be held responsible for what they report. At least with opposition. Their address is below Silver list guy Tel Tofflemire Dewey, AZ (gu...@ourhealthcoop.com)! COLLOIDAL SILVER - A WARNING! A lot of you write asking about how to make colloidal silver at home. Think again fair members! According to the FDA, no over-the-counter colloidal silver products are generally recognized as safe! In fact, Aldo cautions that overdosing can cause a condition called 'argyria,' which is a permanent, non-reversible bluish discoloration of the skin! Alchemists beware! Woof, woof! You've gotten introduced to the dog's wisdom. Please feel free to ask Aldo questions -- through moi (gu...@ourhealthcoop.com)! While I can't promise to get every question answered, yours may be one that we pick for a future newsletter! Cheerio, Guido The COOP had a reply below... Meow Tel, We'll be issuing an update shortly - apologies on the colloidal silver caution without enough context. Some newbies were sending some notes with some things that scared us that they weren't being careful. Re the Red Rice Yeast, we'll take another look. I have a note into the consulting firm and have called into question the guy assigned to us on this last set of questions. The owner is first rate and I sent the note to him. Stay tuned. We are working hard to support the Co-op members with quality and low prices. We will be sure to give conflicting sides fair play. And, I'm thinking about creating a members' council of sorts, to preview things from the Co-op. Thanks for taking the time to write - I appreciate it, even if it stings a bit sometimes! Yours truly, Guido
