Dear Thom, Please do not be discouraged by the dialogues on "Ionic versus Particulate" silver..... both types have---beyond question----been confirmed to evince excellent control over a large number of pathogenic insults (both bacterial and viral), by our research staff. We have have access to and activities by, scholars, researchers, and academics equal to that of a consequential number of prestigious (by general acceptance) University staffs....currently extant. Our research has, categorically, confirmed that it is quite DIFFICULT to manufacture an electrically isolated colloidal silver THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE as a bacterial/viral control agent......even when using many "contaminated water sources". While certainly not a recommended procedure, I would not hesitate to use rain-based runoff water....if a life-threatening event left me no other viable choice. I do not wish to take sides in any adversarial exchange on this list, but feel compelled to say, "man should be allowed dogmatism on one basis, at least.....that being personal experience". We in the Academic/scientific community have too-long sequestered unto ourselves, via self-appointment, the position of sole-purveyors of superior knowledge (some even claim wisdom)....a dangerous activity at best. Ingersol, I believe, made an interesting comment (in one of his more iconoclastic moments) once....." Educated experts gather to declaim an invention or achievement is impossible, while the untaught genius accomplishes this impossibility-----if too many experts gather frequently enough; progress may cease altogether." I certainly do not mean to denigrate my chosen profession in this life, but do sometimes encounter sadness when my fellows choose to use their technical/educational advantage as a "Coward's Castle".....feeling supremely confident their intellectual superiority insures against any "real" reprisal---from lesser mortals. The failure in this situation, as I see it, is that we often (in academia) allow our subconscious desire to "impress", to overcome our declared purpose to "express" the knowledge we hold so dear. Those possessing useful knowledge are, forever, under a moral mandate to share it....in the most simple and direct terms available to them. You, Thom, are the one on the high ground.....if only because of your honest desire to learn....with no strings attached. This epistle comes by way of my personal apology for the times in life I have allowed personal imperfection to enable me in similar self-indulgences. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
