Colloidal Silver Generator

From WIKI:

Since the 1990s, "colloidal silver", a liquid suspension of microscopic silver particles, has been marketed as an alternative medicine, often claiming impressive "cure-all" qualities. The effectiveness of these products has never been scientifically proven, and in some jurisdictions, it is currently illegal to include such claims in product advertisements. Medical authorities and publications advise against the ingestion of colloidal silver preparations, because of their lack of proven effectiveness and because of the risk of adverse side effects, such as argyria. Historically, colloidal silver was also used as an internal medication to treat a variety of diseases. Their use was largely discontinued in the 1940s, due to the development of safe and effective modern antibiotics and concern about adverse side effects

Sound like your typical snake-oil. I wouldn't mess with it.

I do not know if you are a Doc. but the new modern antibiotic lowers imunity - has been used in all the wrong places -- your health is up to each person not a Doctor they fix what is broken - Doctors job is not to prevent - the idea of siver started in the Bible - the blue man drank a quart a day of 20ppm and changed back normal no lasting effect! you do undersand English but this does not = wisdom!

Mikerho, it looks like the score is, according to cal1159909:

Snake Oil - 1
Modern Medicine - 0

[edit] Wait... what? The blue man in the bible? I will freely admit I am not a biblical scholar... but what blue man? How in the... how do we know that he "...drank a quart a day of 20ppm..." This seems very a specific concentration. Are quarts the preferred measure of volume used in the bible?

I didn't really read it, just scanned earlier. Too busy at work making legitimate product snake oil. I know the bible fairly well, and you're right; no mention of a blue man.

The Imperial system of measurement had not yet been invented (so quarts is out) and they had absolutely no quantitative method for determining concentration (so ppm is out).

The old Testament units of liquid volume measure were the log, hin, bath and perhaps the omer, though translations have some difficulty in determining if it is a liquid or dry volume measure.

I know for sure that there is no passage about the man who - now I paraphrase: "Drank a quart of 20ppm colloidal silver a day for an undetermined number of days (the Bible is very specific about days!) and, after another undetermined number of days was not blue any more". Sounds more like something from science fiction or an acid trip (don't ask me how I know).

So, let the OP beware! I'm on to him.
