Re: Here's my thinking... thats nice but it doesn't even address my question
well i agree with about 99% of what you said. i too took CS at one time, and i too ultimately concluded that its not a good thing to take on a regular basis for a long time. i developed bowel problems (very slow digestion, constipation, etc) and eventually decided it was the CS that was killing off my healthy bowel bacteria. when i stopped the CS my bowels immediately improved. however, if somoen was suffering some life threatening disease or some very serious illness i think CS could save their life. like spinal meningitis, or the flesh eating bacteria. i think CS could save lives if used for those conditions.
but i think its a "big gun" and should be used sparingly. trapper, however, believes it can help on a dna level, and help with dna replication. i won't speak for him, but as i understand his posiiton he believes the silver has more properties than just anti-bacteria or anti-virus.
this is why i personally don't make braod statements like "all non-organic minerals are bad" i take it one issue at a time. i DO say that organic based minerals are FAR superior and should always be preferred. but sometimes you can't get around using non-organic minerals, be it CS or CH.
as far as immune boosting goes, my preferred method is ozonated water. it works wonders as far as i am concerned. and with no negative side affect whatsoever. basically when i stopped the CS i started the ozone. i have not been sick in over 5 years. i have had problems but haven't had a cough, fever, soar throat, headache, congestion, etc.
