Understood very clearly. Your message was nicely put. >*I* need to know which is "right". You will have to weigh the pros and cons of the differing opinions for yourself. You might consider going to some of the URLs cited by those of us who cite them. To me when the FDA and other scientific organizations clearly state the dnagers and lack of benefits while the proponents tend to brush aside the dangers with what seems nothing more than pseudo-scientific nonsensical babble its pretty clear. If you have specific questions about information from these web sites as long as BIG considers them on topic enough to get it straight there are several of us here who I am sure would be willing to explain the technical terms. Although I am specifically a computer scientist I have worked in several area where I have had to deal with these types of discussion. I've done chemical process control and spectroscopy applications that I have had to understand the process enough to make the software function with in that area. We have enough vets and vet students that I'm sure they can put a even more 'correct' explanation of what is meaningful and what is nonsensical. The more I resarch colloidal silver though the more I am opposed to even trying it in desparation. As I stated the Center for Veterinary Medicine with in the Food and Drug Administration is rather emphatically opposed to the use of colloidal silver as ferret medicine. The Environmental Protection Adminsitration is not in favor of colloidal silver even though its not exactly in their domain to be concerned. They merely have strong warnings about silver in the environment though they have not done their own research to determine a 'safe level'. -bill -- bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets http://www.zenferret.com/ mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2567]
