Your not telling me that Weston Price found folks doing this, right? This is

a new thing, as in the last 40-50 years?

Sounds like another fast cure for folks who don't eat real food.

I'm not all that knowledgable about colloidal silver personally.

However, I found this website (http://www.clspress.com/silver.html) that you

might find interesting. It discusses issues of historical use and potential

toxicity. It's been in use for much longer than 40-50 years, but it's not

exactly a " traditional remedy. " It appears that it's been used as a

deliberate medication for a little over 100 years. The issue of inadvertant

dosing via local food, water or even geological vapors is another issue. I

doubt if anybody really knows about that. I also ran across a website

(selling colloidal silver) that claimed that the Hunza population's supposed

health and longevity might be attributable to the unusually high

concentrations of silver in the region's water. I suspect that a critical

look at their diet and physical activities might have yielded more plausible

causes of any longevity, but hey...anything's possible.

Thanks -

I was led to believe that the silver in Seasilver was not colloidal, but some

form of ionic silver that was less potent. I definitely want to cut down on it

and find an alternative.
