Subject: CS>silver allergy and fluoride
How would a person know if they were in fact allergic
to silver? I have a friend that can wear some silver
jewelry but other silver jewelry makes her itch
terribly? She would like to try silver but is afraid
of allergic reactions. I am not sure how an allergic
reaction would manifest internally. With silver rings,
her fingers turn red,itchy and bumpy. But other rings
that are silver, she has no problems with.
Also regarding fluoride, they added it to our water
several years ago and now alot of people(self
included)are drinking bottled water. We really dont
know what is in bottled water either though. Isnt a
form of fluoride in the drug cipro and also prozac?
Betsy,
One thing to realize is that jewelry presumably made of "silver" is mixed
with nickel and other metals. This includes "sterling" silver, which is not
pure enough to be used for making CS. So-called "Mexican silver" is not even
silver at all.
Add to the mix the fact that excess acidity on the skin can make jewelry
tarnish. Now you really have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what's
going on! Is your friend truly allergic to silver? Or is it the other metals
mixed in *with* the silver? Or, is it the interaction of toxins excreted by
the skin that are interacting with the jewelry she's wearing?
You give us clues by telling us that she can wear some "silver" jewelry but
not other jewelry. I would *guess* (and this is my opinion ONLY) that she's
not allergic to silver, but that she is reacting to some of the other
metals.
I would also *guess* that silver in its ionic or even colloidal (larger
particles) form might induce a different response than silver worn on the
skin.
It might be worth taking a tiny amount of CS -- say, 1/4 teaspoon -- in 8
ounces of good water and seeing if there are any negative reactions. If not,
your friend can build up to larger, more concentated doses. CS is such a
valuable healing tool that it might be worth the slight risk of itching.
