Zen, You are beating a dead horse. We have been over this debate many times before, and I've posted citations from sources at NASA, Syracuce University, and others in support of colloidal silver. This is not even to mention that silver itself has been in use as a medicine for hundreds of years. Colloidal silver was the preeminent antibiotic in use in the United States - in hospitals, homes, and doctor's offices - before the invention of penicillin earlier this century. My vet. recommends it, my doctor recommends it, and my ferret's life was saved by it. I urge anyone interested in it to go to the FML Archive Search Engine (URL is in the header of each FML, look up there ^ ), and read the evidence yourself. (I posted some rather extensive research on it earlier this year, and others have posted their experiences with it over the past 11 years. When I did the search, I got over 100 "hits" on this topic). Don't be so quick to dismiss it; you may need it some day to save your animal's life, as I did. Then you'll be glad you read about it, and you know the facts. - Ela (000)___(000) Ela Heyn / @ @ \ [log in to unmask] | | ======@====== http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5483 [Posted in FML issue 2757]
