I've read most of the 32 page study and wouldn't try to discredit it but just try to put it into perspective. How accurately does this lab test represent a real life situation? They used DNA cells floating in a bath of 'pure' silver water' (not blood or plasma). At 'high concentrations' the silver was toxic. At very low concentrations it seemed to protect the cells. (At least thats how it appeared to me.)

Perhaps I missed it but I couldn't find any description of what type of silver it was or how it was prepared or how the strength was determined. (Was it silver salt, electrolytic silver etc).

The big question I think is ... 'Could a daily mouthful of EIS by a pregnant woman ever accumulate enough silver in the fetus to impair neuro development?'

The answer probably is 'We are still a long way from knowing ... but just to be on the safe side a pregnant women should probably abstain from EVERYTHING!!'

I hope other listers will read the study and comment. It makes some interesting suggestions about how silver works.

Finally, I'm not a scientist so I could be misunderstanding the study entirely.

Can anyone discredit that study, how it was performed, and its conclusions? Here is the link again:

I mean aside from saying "it ain't true" can someone really deconstruct it scientifically?
thanks,
