Book Reviews of Silver Colloids - Do They Work?

Book Review: Great News if You Have a Diseased Petrie Dish!
Summary: 1 Stars

Gibbs' monograph is a novel contribution to the swelling "Barnum-Bunkum" literature of colloidal silver products. Unlike Farber, Gibbs does not claim that he was personally deputized by Yahweh to bring this "healing news" to the world. And, unlike the majority of vo-tech drop-outs and assorted hoodoos who quibble about the nuances of coloration, particle size, voltage levels and AC vs. DC power supplies, Gibbs' credentials suggest that he would actually recognize a true colloid if he saw one, and be able to differentiate it from the other varieties of chemical suspension/solution. Even more admirably, Gibbs rigorously defines the properties of an "ideal" silver colloid, without ever once suggesting that a sane human being should actually DRINK this stuff, or that his collection of hoary, well-trod data on silver's antibacterial impact on in vitro cultures makes it any more desirable a nutritional supplement than Clorox or Bactine.

Sure, he points out that silver compounds make a swell mouthwash or a topical burn treatment, and he raises the predictable red herring of the "post-antibiotic" apocalypse. That's pretty much the party line for the New Age generation of super-slick nostrum-hustlers. But, nonetheless, he graciously -- and one thinks wisely -- stops short of exhorting the innocent, the deluded and the justifiably desperate to place their hope for a cure in this expensive, unproven and (even by Gibbs' own assessment) largely tainted, mislabeled or mismanufactured tap-water substitute.

Granted, there may in fact be a worldwide conspiracy by the conventional medical establishment to suppress knowledge of miraculous disease treatments, even denying this information to thousands of physicians (and their families) who must also, sadly, be sacrified to terminal illness in order to protect the secret. However, on the off-chance that there isn't, I recommend reviewing the QuackWatch take on silver colloids at http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html

Summary of Silver Colloids - Do They Work?

The objective of this book is to provide a clear, thorough understanding of what to look for and what to avoid in choosing good colloidal silver products. Do they work? & which ones? The growing threat of multi-drug resistant bacteria is good reason to think about colloidal silver. Information presently available about colloidal silver products is sometimes confusing and is often misleading. Much of the advertising and "literature" about colloidal silver is written by non-experts & is slanted toward promoting a particular product or devices to make it.
