It was banned for human use when it was found in the 60's to have ocular effects in rabbits, the standard lab model for eyes. Well it does not do this to primates or humans. It is no longer banned. It is approved for use in animals for musculoskeletal disorders and in humans for interstitial cystitis (bladder thickening). Because it is approved it is legal everywhere and for any use. And it seems to me that humans are animals and it is animal models that are used to establish safety for humans in drug research. > It's NOT a mineral supplement because there's no RDA for silver and, > unlike copper or zinc, no known environmental niche in the body...which is > probably why it works and little has developed a resistance to it or use > for it...BECAUSE silver is not a part of that system and is ,therefore, > free to roam. The human body contains 2 mg of Silver in an average 70 kg person according to the standard lab reference Elements by John Elmsley, science writer at Cambridge University. Still looking for information on where this 2 mg is in body tissues. Anyone?? It is considered a trace mineral in the body. No RDA simply means the research has not been done. For years there was no RDA for Zinc, once someone developed the technology to measure it in the minute amounts it is present all the Vitamin companies were touting its benefit and even encouraging over dose amounts in throat lozenges. > I've never heard what it's for, only what it's NOT for...which is how it's > most commonly used, but definitely not labeled as such. A hardware store salesman once told me it is one of the ingredients in WD 40, could be, I dunno, I can't smell the garlic when I use WD. But it is used in industry as it is a very good solvent for oils. One of the reasons it penetrates skin and cell membranes so well. > Or, if you can't make sense, make nonsense and do it as though you're not. > It's just as useful, but you can't talk about it and make sense.
