Re: sulfa drugs. Sulfa has one great advantage over colloidal silver: it's an organic compound. That means it generally is broken down and excreted out of your body a LOT more easily than colloidal silver. It wasn't a conspiracy--sulfa and antibiotics work a LOT better than colloidal silver (if they didn't, you'd be able to buy antibiotics and sulfa from the health food store, and you could only get colloidal silver by prescription :o)
Colloidal silver is my personal "final protective fire" before going to the doctor.
I don't know where you got the image of a cell turning itself inside out as a defense--a cell that did that would be dead (some defense :o)
Re: rattlesnake venom. It's an organic compound, so it definitely has carbon in it. I do not know if it has copper in it or not. But the story sounds fishy. Also, zinc helps prevent things like dandruff.
One of the colloidal silver websites described the cell resorting to a primative state as turning inside out to expose the virus or bacteria. I repeat what they say the best I can to try and get to the truth. Hoping that other people will share what they know about the subject so everyone reading can learn. I'm never afraid to say I don't know everything, but I'm always willing to learn so I can do better next time.
