Argyria
and the "Quackbusters"
Fraudulent
information is being circulated about Colloidal Silver in an effort
to discredit both the product and those who produce it. In some cases people have
unwittingly contaminated themselves with Silver Chlorides, having
been led to believe they were making Colloidal Silver in their
homes. Silver Chloride contamination causes a condition called
argyria, which is irreversible. There are NO KNOWN cases of
pure Colloidal Silver causing Argyria, neither it is possible to get
argyria from Colloidal Silver.
Argyria is the
result of ingesting large quantities of toxic silver into the body
which then causes the skin to
turn grey or grey-blue. Toxic Silver substances like Silver Chlorides
or Nitrates photo-reduce (activated by sunlight) and appear as a
permanent stain
on the skin. Silver Chloride and Nitrates were once widely used
Pharmaceutical products, doctors prescribed these in low concentrations
so as not to cause dreaded argyria. As with many other
products people overdosed on these silver based products and
developed argyria. Today, uniformed medical professionals in
and outside the Natural Health community have suggested Colloidal Silver
may be in the same category as Chlorides or Nitrates, which is
a false conclusion. Pure Colloidal Silver will not cause argyria
regardless of how much a person ingests. It is physically
impossible to drink such a large quantity of Colloidal Silver to
cause argyria.
Many people
have also been misinformed by do-it-yourself "Colloidal Silver" Makers
who are making Chlorides instead of Colloids. Many problems
and complications arise when attempting to make Colloidal Silver at home, the air
environment, quality of water, silver supply and other variables
greatly effect the end result. Although equipment to
make Colloidal Silver is relatively inexpensive, the equipment to
test the quality of Colloidal Silver is not. Most people are
unwilling to pay lab and research fees to determine the quality of
their product, so they gamble
and risk their health.
Pharmaceutical
grade Colloidal Silver is made in a controlled environment, each
batch is monitored and tested ensuring purity,
all variables are carefully monitored to supply
consistent and pure product. Rapha Laboratories products are
made from pure pharmaceutical grade Colloidal Silver which contain
no toxins whatsoever.
The pharmaceutical giants tend to undermine
the simplicity of Natural Health products and methodology, malicious
and fraudulent tactics have been used to speak evil of Colloidal
Silver.
Consumer advocate
Tim Bolen
has been following
the activities of a group of called the
"Quackbusters" when they came up against one of his
clients in California. He
first asked the question "why
would this group be using a doctor from Pennsylvania, as their
witness, when there are 300,000 health professionals in this State?"
Tim states, "thus began my education. Now I'm going to
educate YOU..."
Tim and thousands of others
have discovered the "Quackbusters" have been making false and
misleading statements about Colloidal Silver. Tim states, "It is a propaganda
enterprise, one part crackpot, two parts evil. It's sole purpose is
to discredit, and suppress, in an "anything goes"
attack mode, what is wrongfully named "Alternative Medicine."
It has declared war on reality. The conspirators are acting in the
interests of, and are being paid, directly and indirectly, by the
"conventional" medical-industrial complex." To learn more
