"Colloidal Silver: Risk Without Benefit" - OR "Moths, rats, nicks and soylent"

I will also post only 2 posts per week in Monday, because I want to focus more on the community and some interesting things.

I promise the next set will not include anything silver, toxic, moths, rat's asses and ingenious nicknames. All strictly business - one tech post, one reward post.

Next topic will be "How to train your girlfriend to live only on soylent and water". Useful. Fart-itious as well.

The only reason why I didn't do this post before is that I didn't want to insult the intelligence of my audience and the Whalesharians. I believed that a full grown up doesn't need a basic chem class. Maybe I was wrong.

There is one guy, I nicked-named him NICELY - Hemloch Elder- and he sells an idea and a product on the Whaleshares about that colloidal silver. He is no authority of any kind and nobody should even think to discuss anything about it to him or even worse, to submit any sort of evidence against his product for him to "review". The only reason I am doing this is still of course unclear, but maybe it has to do something with my name being mentioned googol times multiplied by infinity in his pleas (he also edited it to make sure I get a bing) and his comments previously were spamming my completely unrelated posts, trolling me for attention when I didn't even mentioned his username in any of my posts ( I did not, I wouldn't even mention him ever again if he didn't choose on his own to superimpose himself on a pike) , plus insisting he has no intention to fancy me but wants to be pals...??? I am confused. Nefarious mentions of a slander were also served as "relevant", m-hmmm, really. So, who will do that Ugly Aunty Sue ( because I like Black Betty more)? "Easter Bunny sues Krampus for calling bollocks on his chocolate eggs." Too much "sugar" in a toll. Also, going after me with a 3 months inactive account recycled from a kindergarten manual "how to annoy your caring nanny" is absurd. No, a common interests and having a pretty admirable brain and skills - doesn't rattle my peach, because I don't like your hand job. Can you design a coconut with the quartz finish and Vaseline shine up so I can entertain while mob hungrily hurls to reward-attack screaming diamond ( head)?

Even my new friend who has been my right arm through the whole January thinks this is quite ridiculous: " Why are you doing this? Who cares! Why do you care? Let it go! " he says while tapping on some unfinished projects we have to do - " Just leave that loser to his custom made johns, and pay attention to our thing. Don't you have enough of this? You already smash that topic, defecate all over him, stuck your fangs into him and locked on, - you are like that mini rooster who pecks a dead hen... do you know that ??? - but no, no, you just have to stuff him a magnum, don't you! Let him sell it. Let them drink the battery juice. It is healthy!!" Well, fine, my pal might be right. but I always thought the End of Days will go down in a blood shed saluted by the large caliber gun fire... not silently by the emperor's favorite lucusta...

This is what he wrote on my re-paid troll comments. The most bullshit explanation that I saw about what inert means.

"This is because solid silver is almost completely biologically inert, and even if ingested, would pass through the human body without being absorbed into tissues."

If a substance of any kind is said to be effective to kill any sort of a pest inside of a human body or on the surface of it, this is said to be a bactericide - like he claims, that means it is not INERT. It is very active.

Also, the term colloidal silver is not used that often - because we are not in the middle ages - that's why you can't find any confirmed valuable studies about it ( you can) . Most of the studies are the repetition of ones from the 90's, and that was 20+ years ago. Just saying.

Do you know how many of these false claims and imaginary things you can find online? Try the Flat Earth conspiracy theory. It is very convincing.

We are about to make a Pan-Earth Society, guess who will be a mascot...

Under this are some examples of the things you can find on your own by simply searching through the Google but be free to ignore it, but believe ridicule he posted as a "proof".

There are more than this, just Google it.

Abstract

Orally administered silver has been described to be absorbed in a range of 0.4–18% in mammals with a human value of 18%. Based on findings in animals, silver seems to be distributed to all of the organs investigated, with the highest levels being observed in the intestine and stomach. In the skin, silver induces a blue–grey discoloration termed argyria. Excretion occurs via the bile and urine. The following dose-dependent animal toxicity findings have been reported: death, weight loss, hypoactivity, altered neurotransmitter levels, altered liver enzymes, altered blood values, enlarged hearts and immunological effects. Substantial evidence exists suggesting that the effects induced by particulate silver are mediated via silver ions that are released from the particle surface. With the current data regarding toxicity and average human dietary exposure, a Margin of Safety calculation indicates at least a factor of five before a level of concern to the general population is reached.

The toxic effects of silver nanoparticles on blood mononuclear cells.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25027045

METHODS:
In this in vitro experimental study, suspensions of blood mononuclear cells from 10 young healthy men were incubated with 10-nm silver nanoparticles in different concentrations (range: 1-500 μg/mL) for 6 and 24 hours by MTT assay. Positive and negative controls were used for comparison.
RESULTS:
After 6 hours of exposure, 10.9% to 48.4% of the cells died. After 24 hours of exposure, the rate ranged from 56.8% to 86.3%. Regardless of the exposure time, the maximum cytotoxicity was observed at the concentration of 500 μg/mL of silver nanoparticles. By increasing the exposure time to 24 hours, the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles substantially increased at all concentrations. Cell death was significantly higher when compared to the controls (p<0.01).
CONCLUSION:
Silver nanoparticles possess both time- and dose-dependent cytotoxicity and can thus be considered as very toxic for mononuclear cells.

However, no sound scientific studies to evaluate these health claims have been published in reputable medical journals. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has taken action against some manufacturers of colloidal silver products for making unproven health claims.

Rarely, excessive doses of colloidal silver can cause possibly irreversible serious health problems, including kidney damage and neurological problems such as seizures.
Colloidal silver products may also interact with medications, including penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen), quinolone antibiotics, tetracycline and thyroxine (Unithroid, Levoxyl, Synthroid) medications.

Colloidal silver is a classic example of anecdotal evidence that differs drastically from research. Always remember that colloidal silver isn’t a product that’s regulated by the FDA. Companies that claim that colloidal silver is a miracle cure for diseases such as cancer and HIV are doing so without any clinical proof. There are many other safe options for staying healthy, preventing disease, and getting better from illness.

So, whoever thinks that silver is for anything else but a topical ( external ) application, congratulations, you just won a Darwin award.
