I thought the colloidal silver thread was declared over a couple of weeks ago? Zen, I DEEPLY resent your repeated assertions that nobody has ever sent you any documentation on colloidal silver's efficacy, though. I have done so several times, and each time you claim never to have received them (while at the same time declaring these documents - which you supposedly "never received" - to be "purely anecdotal" How did you come to that conclusion based on the fact that you'd "never received them", anyway?) I HAVE sent you information in the past. Whether you choose to read it or pay attention to it is your own business, but to repeatedly declare that you haven't received it is not quite accurate. Colloidal silver saved my Paddington Bear's life a couple of years ago, as my own veterinarian acknowledged. So, I am forever grateful for the kind people here who gave me documentation on it in the first place, and to my vet. for being open-minded enough to prescribe it for my Paddington. It gave me two more wonderful years with him which I otherwise would not have had. - Ela Ela Heyn Harborside Mail Stop 3024 201-860-3336 [log in to unmask] [Moderator's note: I believe Zen means to say that they don't consider the submitted evidence to be authoritative enough to accept as real studies. I haven't paid much attention and am forming no opinion of it myself. Yes, the topic as an ongoing discussion has been closed. Now and then it pops up anew with a different intro, but I don't feel ongoing discussion is of much value. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 2905]
