Thomas, Facinating reading. I'd heard of using silver before (and copper and gold too) but never anything as extensive as this. No wonder they are called "Noble Metals". As I was reading it, I had the thought that a pharma would never do the clinicals because they couldn't protect it (ala. marijuana, echinacea, bee propolis, pollen, etc...). Then they brought it up in the article. I found the approach of American Silver in publicizing this to be pretty ballsy, and would bet it pisses off the FDA, who are more concerned with protecting their petty bureaucratic fiefdom than actually helping people. It would be interesting to pull up some of the actual data and studies to confirm what they say, but to be honest, I find it pretty damn truthful sounding. What's a bottle of their stuff go for, any idea?

Thomas, this is really cool:
<<How it works

The Northern Miner article referenced above explains how the process works. It states,
"Single-charged silver replaces hydrogen atoms, which supply energy to bacteria and
extra-cellular viruses. Blocking the energy supply renders such viruses inactive." In other
words, the silver particles block the energy flow to the bacteria and viruses.>>

Any idea what does that mean?<g>
