The Hepatitis researcher that used to post on the forum said that he had colloidal silver tested against the virus in a lab and it showed absolutely no effect . This particular Dr. was very open minded about natural supplements that might help but he didn't think the silver would do anything to stop HCV.
NYgirl - after reading a lot of posts in this thread and others it is not hard to see why FIGuy is a respected poster.
Is that really all you can come up with? I clearly stated I don't know if it's effective for Hep C. Sorry, just the research I've read shows it's effective against viral diseases. The research is out there. I will give one quote from Larry C. Ford from UCLA
Based on laboratory tests with colloidal silver, destructive bacteria, virus, and fungus organisms are killed within minutes of contact, Larry C. Ford, M.D, of the Department of Ohstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, Center For The Health Sciences reported in a letter dated November 1, 1988, "I tested them (the silver solutions) using standard antimicrobial tests for disinfectants. The silver solutions were antibacterial for concentrations of 10' organisms per ml. of Streptococcus Pyogenes, Staphylococcus Aurcus, Neisseria Gonorrhea, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Salmonella Typhi, and other enteric pathogens, and fungicidal for Candida Albicans, Candida Globata, and M. Furfur."
The research is out there and has been for a long time. It doesn't matter how old this thread is the issue is still relevant and still subject to a lot of misinformation.
This post is ancient.
I think the collodial silver thing is a scam.
I also believe in the power of belief.
Placebos work because people believe they do.
As for me, I'm sticking to drinking coffee:)
OH
The onothread is back up... Let's go and gobble the stuff and become a smurf...
Who wants to be which smurf?
I'll be sleepy smurf
You're correct in stating that silver is a proven, effective, approved anti-bacterial and is extremely useful in burn treatmet centers. To state that "colloidal silver is as effective against viral infections as bacterial and fungi" loses you credibility.
