The above is another perfect example of silver nitrate being utilized, across the board, as a representative of all states of silver. I can perform the same type of science right here. I hereby make the following observation. Potassium ions are LETHAL! I just proved this by performing a study, using potassium ions as provided by potassium cyanide. All test subjects immediately fell over dead, therefore proving without doubt that potassium, in its ionic form, is lethal. See what I mean??? So, in other words, no one can find a shred of evidence that elemental silver is toxic to brain cells. I would think that, if that WERE the case, we would have reams of information on silver miners over the years that would at least give us SOME indication! My whole point was.... Read carefully, and don't jump to make outlandish statements. -- Best regards, Solar -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
