If it's not silver, then why take it?
Also. Looking at the EPA report, from your website even, (http://www.silvermedicine.org/safety.html), I would stay as far from this substance as possible. Look at the studies on the anti-bacterial effects, they are done in petri dishes, not in people.
Plus, looking at this statement...
<i>Hepatic necrosis and ultrastructural changes of the liver have been induced by silver administration to vitamin E and/or selenium deficient rats (Wagner et al., 1975; Diplock et al., 1967; Bunyan et al., 1968). Investigators have hypothesized that this toxicity is related to a silver-induced selenium deficiency that inhibits the synthesis of the seleno-enzyme glutathione peroxidase. In animals supplemented with selenium and/or vitamin E, exposures of silver as high as 140 mg/kg/day (100 mg Ag/L drinking water) were well-tolerated (Bunyan et al., 1968). </i>
Aren't PWCF selenium deficient? Also, don't PWCF have problems absorbing vitamin E? Aren't PWCF at risk for liver problems to begin with?
This tells me that PWCF sure as heck shouldn't mess with silver.
Also, they state <i>There is accumulating evidence which strongly suggests...</i> and then there is no evidence of this... evidence.
There are a number of other statements after this that are given with absolutely NO scientific basis. "We think" "we believe" - do you really want to risk liver problems and TURNING FREAKIN' GREY, over what some non-credible "scientist" supposes is true?
I sure as hell wouldn't.
