Silver can kill some tumours better than chemotherapy with fewer side effects

There's been some discussion of semantics upthread. Silver is certainly a metal and it certainly is heavy (as opposed to metals like aluminum.)

That is not semantics it is science.

What is a heavy metal? It depends on who you ask!
According to Chemistry International Vol 23, No.6 November 2001 - "Heavy Metals" - A Meaningless Term
Def 1.) A generalized definition in common use: One of 23 chemical elements that has a specific gravity (a measure of density) at least five times that of water. Def 2.) Definition according to OSHA - The term "Heavy Metals" is generally interpreted to include those metals from periodic table groups IIA through VIA. The semi-metallic elements boron, arsenic, selenium, and tellurium are often included in this classification. At trace levels, many of these elements are necessary to support life. However, at elevated levels they become toxic, may build up in biological systems, and become a significant health hazard. Def 3.) Definition used by many - The term heavy metal refers to any metallic chemical element that has a relatively high density and is toxic, highly toxic or poisonous at low concentrations. Examples of heavy metals include mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), thallium (Tl), and lead (Pb).

Instead of trying to confuse people with your semantics you might define your terms in a way that is scientific and at the same time relevant to people's concerns re this subject matter.

Thanks, pandy. I know you have impressed your doctors greatly with the results you have achieved on your Hep-C and MRSA. You were lucky to find a doctor who doesn’t feel threatened by successes that fall outside his paradigm of healing. Thankfully more and more MDs realize that they don’t have all the answers.
