Reid: I've done a bit of further research concerning ceramic filters, and I do understand that using a low PPM silver product would not be adequate for such a purpose. I've seen a study where a 50 PPM high quality CS was used for such a purpose, and the results were not satisfactory.
As far as the MD's go, my personal opinion is that anyone could use any substance safely ( provided it could be used safely! ) with proper product knowledge... But it is apparently contrary to successful business practices for some of these companies to fully disclose information to their customers. Thus, the ethical solution is to have MD's purchase the substance and supervise use. I would love to see the MD's role switched more to the role of an educator and advisor as far as general health goes. Of course, critical care is an entirely different ball game.
