I started a thread on the GoldisMoney forum with the title "the art of making colloidal silver." It is still running and has over 64,000 views and over 855 replies. It is the only non-commercial and authoritative source of information about colloidal silver. The pharmaceutical industry dissuades the research community from even discussing the usefulness of silver in medicine. They cannot patent silver. Therefore there is no profit potential. They are commercial companies. All that matters to them is their profit.you have unscrupulous snake oil salesmen who will say anything in their quest for a quick buck. They make wild promises and fabricate endless testimonials. When you try to track them down, you find nothing but a PO Box. Few people are willing to make an effort to find out with whom they're dealing. There's nothing good or bad about this; it's a simple fact. We have to accept it.
The main problem is the fact that no standard exists for what we call "colloidal silver." There are all sorts of concoctions that can be made and legitimately called colloidal silver. The word colloidal only means suspended in liquid, that's all. For example, homogenized milk could be called colloidal butterfat. That's what it is, globules of fat suspended in the milk. It could be "whole milk," skim milk, and you would know the amount of fat within the milk. You can be confident that when you buy a certain kind of milk, it will contain a certain butterfat amount. That is far from true when you purchase so-called colloidal silver. There is some colloidal silver sold with instructions to "shake the bottle." The particles are so large, and this that they rest on the bottom until shaken. Many of these preparations have silver particles coated with substances which hold them in suspension. Silver ions kill viruses, fungi, and bacteria. The silver ion is a single atom of silver, positively charged. A single atom is also the smallest possible particle.
When a situation exists that a person cannot count on getting the same thing twice, you can't blame them for staying away. That's too bad because silver can improve people's quality of life in many ways. The fact that there is no money to be made from it as it cannot be patented prevents us from enjoying these benefits. That is one of the very few downsides to capitalism. There is an answer to this problem available to the few who are willing to understand a few principles and abide by them. It is to these people that "
the art of making colloidal silver" is addressed.
Does this add up?
