Dear Tom, I didn't mean to come across as a jerk. Sometime I do that without even realizing it.
The point I was trying to make is that there is a big difference between saying "colloidal silver has been proven to kill over 650 different pathogens" or saying "I believe that colloidal silver has been proven to kill over 650 different pathogens". Bold statements like that need to be qualified. I personally haven't seen the evidence to support the statement. If enough people repeat the quote, does it make it true? I don't think so. I could say the same thing about household bleach. It probably works better than CS for killing pathogens, but the statement is still speculation unless it is backed up with some kind of scientific study. The problem starts when the claims get convoluted with the testimonials. Someone will say; "I've used colloidal silver to ward off colds, re-grow amputated heads and it gives me 15 percent better gas mileage". The Fed's move in and impose a bunch of regulations. This screws it up for the honest merchants and hinders the cause in general. Anyhow, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, Best wishes, Andy
