American Biotech is a big bullshitter...one of the best. BUT, they do make very good "EIS" ..it's just not different from good home made. ode At 05:07 PM 2/4/2007 -0500, you wrote:

Anything you think you are getting out of it is purely a placebo effect.< When I first began to research the topic of colloidal silver, I ran into two kinds of info sources. One was from vendors who made preposterous claims with no valid sources to support those claims. The other was from legitimate scientific sources reporting research findings from Doctors, medical clinics and University laboratories. There were not many of these at first, but as the years have gone by, the published research reports have increased. When I discover that the EPA has granted licenses to American Biotech to sell colloidal silver as a dental mouthwash and a hospital disinfectant, that catches my attention. www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/May2002/28/c9786.html www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/April2003/30/c5804.html www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/March2002/21/c2806.html When I read that American Biotech was "chosen by the United States Senate Committee for Homeland Defense as one of a few companies 'that can and does make important contributions to homeland security'", that certainly seems to be significant. www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/August2002/21/c4351.html Since American Biotech, in my understanding, has only one product, colloidal silver, I find very significant their reports that colloidal silver has been found to be 98-99.9% effective against malaria, tuberculosis, bubonic plague, Resistant Hospital Staff Infection and anthrax. See: www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/September2002/16/c1055.html www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/September2003/04/c7099.html www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/June2002/19/c7794.html www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/February2003/24/c3100.html www.cliftonmining.com/ann0.htm Brigham Young University's Microbiology Department tested colloidal silver and found it to be extremely effective against a wide range of bacteria. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2002/3/prweb34782.php A recent study, published in the Journal of Nanotechnology, was a joint project between the University of Texas, Austin and Mexico University, Nuevo Leon, to study the effect of silver nanosilver particles against the HIV virus. Quoting from the article, "Scientists are also studying other uses for silver nanoparticles. We're testing against other viruses and the 'super bug (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus).' Our preliminary results indicate that silver nanoparticles can effectively attack other micro-organisms. During the study, researchers used three different methods of limiting the size of the silver nanoparticles by using capping agents. The capping agents were foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The particles ranged in size from 1 to 10 nanometers depending on the method of capping. After incubating the HIV-1 virus at 37 C, the silver particles killed 100% of the virus within 3 hours for all three methods. Already used as a topical antibiotic in the medical industry, silver may now come under consideration as an alternative to drugs when it comes to fighting previously untreatable viruses such as the Tamiflu resistant avian flu." http://www.physorg.com/printnews.php?newsid=7264 http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=1401 Notice: "Research to be carried out at the University of Leicester will develop silver nanoparticles, in a form which can play a significant role in combating MRSA, Cystic Fibrosis and AIDS, as well as the treatment of wounds." www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=40586 Notice: "Silver Helps Regrow Human Tissue" http://www.perutechnologies.com/sipr2.html Notice: "Silver in the Treatment of Osteomyelitis" http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/545270_1 Lastly, notice these letters: The following two letters to and from the USFDA are most informative: October 14th, 1999 Food and Drug Administration U.S. Department Of Health and Human Services Public Health Service 5600 Fishers Lane Rockville, MD 20857 Dear Sirs/Madam, Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act and in regard your August 17th, 1999 ruling regarding colloidal silver, could you please supply the following documentation on which you based your decision? 1. The number of deaths related to the consumption of colloidal silver. 2. The number of allergic reactions to the consumption of colloidal silver. 3. The number of harmful drug interactions from both OTC and prescription drugs when combined with colloidal silver. 4. The number of reported cases of Argyria from colloidal silver made with the AC or DC electrical process. 5. The number of cases of Argyria from colloidal silver that did not contain protein stabilizers. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. Sincerely, Brent Finnegan The FDA response: Public Health Service Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Office of Training and Communication Freedom of Information Staff HFD-205 5600 Fishers Lane 12 B 05 Rockville, Maryland 20857 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES November 3, 1999 In Response Refer to File: F99-22589 Brent Finnigan Takoma (sic), WA 98408 Dear Mr. Finnigan: This is in response to your request of 10/14/99, in which you requested adverse events associated with the use of Colloidal Silver. Your request was received in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research on 10/25/99. We have searched the records from FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) and have been unable to locate any cases that would be responsive to your request. Charges of $3.50 (Search $3.50, Review $0, Reproduction $0, Computer time $0) will be included in a monthly invoice. DO NOT SEND ANY PAYMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN INVOICE. If there are any problems with this response, please notify us in writing of your specific problem(s). Please reference the above file number. Sincerely, Hal Stepper Freedom of Information Technician Office of Training and Communications Freedom of Information Staff, HFD-205 Now, ArgyriaVictim, I have supplied you with just a few of the sources that convince me that colloidal silver is a viable and effective approach to combatting disease. Please supply the sources of the info concerning those numerous cases of harm from colloidal silver that you refer to. Our attitude is that yes, any mineral is unhealthy at levels beyond what our bodies can handle. Iron and selenium, both minerals our bodies need, are toxic in high doses. We have seen no evidence that a few ounces of 10 ppm colloidal silver/day can possibly hurt anyone. Nor have we read about any of those cases of damage from colloidal silver you refer to. The tone in your posts was very confrontive, but we are not trying to hurt anyone. We are not villains, out to deceive others. We make our own colloidal silver and have many, many experiences that convince us that what we are doing is safe and effective. If we are wrong, we would certainly want to know. If you have specific info to the contrary of our understanding, please enlighten us, but do try to communicate with courtesy.
