Some more Colloidal Silver Info

[Guest guest]

Whew! I sure stirred up a lively discussion. My intent was to provide info

for each person to study and come to their own conclusions. I did not

intend to insult anyone's postion - just provide info. Here is some more

stuff I found. The first is the FDA Final Rule that was the death knell to

OTC CS sales. The second is a letter from a doctor who says he's seen 2

cases of argyria recently. His address and phone number are on the

letterhead for verification if anyone thinks he isn't real. (running and

ducking) Next is an abstract of a Nov 2000 article which someone could also

use for reference as it also has an address attached. Then there is a

transcript of Rosemary s testimony before the FDA Pharmacy Compounding

Advisory Committee on May 9, 1999. Next is an article by a naturopath

sympathetic to the use of CS which I found very interesting and with which I

am in full agreement. And finally the COMPASSION RESPONSE NETWORK'S

Recommendations for Safe Use of Colloidal Silver.

COMPASSION RESPONSE NETWORK'S Recommendations for Safe Use of Colloidal

Silver

We therefore recommend the taking of colloidal silver products in this way;

Firstly, be sure that the colloidal silver solution you are taking is of a

concentration of about 5ppm, and definitely no more than 20 ppm, and does

not have any dangerous silver compounds, such as silver nitrate. A good

guide to determining the toxicity of silver compounds is through the Agency

for Toxic Substances and Diseases Registry, which has an on-line information

service (http://atsdr1.atsdr.cdc.gov:8080/ToxProfiles). EPA (Environmental

Protection Authority) issues a control code for each toxic substance it

tracks that can cause human illness. Silver nitrate and silver sulphate have

control codes, but silver chloride does not.

Secondly, take no more than 5mls (a plastic teaspoon or small capful) at a

time for an adult, correspondingly less for a child. Abstain from food and

drink for several hours beforehand for best results, and do not take with

any other drink or food. If there is a condition of fever or acute illness,

4 or 5 doses of 5 mls at concentration 5 ppm or one 5 mls dose at 20 ppm may

be taken in the one day, for a few days until the fever subsides, after

which time the dose reverts to just 5 mls a day at 5 ppm. When taking more

than one 5ml dose in a single day, be sure to wait a minute at least between

administering each dose, so to ensure there is time for the previous dose to

be adsorbed.

Thirdly, when administering the 5ml dose, ask the recipient to hold the

solution under the tongue for a minute, so that it can more easily and

quickly be adsorbed into the blood stream.

Caution should be taken, not to immediately swallow the colloidal silver

dose, as it may then start to harm the friendly intestinal flora. Swallowing

after a minute should cause no problem, as most of the silver content would

have been adsorbed by then. If the occasional dose is swallowed

accidentally, it will not be of major concern, provided the single dosage

does not exceed 5 mls at 5 ppm.
