As a jeweler for 12 years, I found out that silver poisoning has the same
symptoms as mercury. Gold on the other hand, has no effects if ingested.

I have done some research on the production of colloidal silver and
gold.  It is an incredibly cheap process of running  an electric current
through distilled water with an electrode of either silver or gold. It's
end product is in the millions parts X to part water.   If you do a search
engine query, you will find that you can buy the machines (generator) for
making it as low as $50. Then you could make gallons for
pennies.   Unfortunately, you will not find enough information to back up
the claims made by the promoters of this (cheap) product.  There is
reference to treatments in the early part of this century (20th), but these
are vague and have never been qualified.

This is not to say I discount it totally, but I do have serious doubts as
to the current marketers of this product.  I had done some deeper research
into colloidal gold,  which also had many early century claims.  A few
companies had offered this as a product, then just as fast, took it off the
market.  I have not been able to learn why.  But, I have my suspicions.

I consider myself a very open minded person. In fact, I will go way out of
my way to research an item that may have been overlooked because of current
beliefs, based on current dogmas.  However!

I have been on the Paleo diet and am a convinced it will eliminate through
it's restrictions, many of todays more puzzling afflictions. Although, I
can not say to anyone that it is a cure, or certain relief to problems they
may have.  But I will make suggestions.

I realize I am rambling at this point.  But I do see a danger in people
finding a new cause (religious, maybe), and then leaving themselves open to
anything that may support that belief.

I too would like to believe!  But, we must question always.

Paleo seems to work for me, and it may for you, but, does that mean that
everything non paleo (by who ever's definition) is the only truth.  I don't
think it's as simple as that.  But I do think we are closer to a true
outlook on diet and nutrition
