In addition to the Silvadene cream, there are silver-containing wound dressings that are touted for their antimicrobial activity. Again, in these cases systemic absorption of the silver is supposed to be minimal-to-zero.
Hey, thanks for using my suggestions!
He doesn’t sound like the sort who would understand scientific testing, but you could try:
If you take numerous medicines, how can you tell which ones work?
If you’re not sick, how can you tell if any treatment works?
If something works, why aren’t companies making lots of money out of it?
(This one is a bit dangerous, since copper bracelets sell :rolleyes: )
If something works, why doesn’t the medical profession recommend it?
If you want to, I would try to find out exactly what he says this works against.
And tell him about the man walking along(in the city you live in), while tearing up money and chanting “Wild elephants away!”.
“Why do you do that?”
“It keeps wild elephants away!”
"No it doesn’t. "
“It certainly does - do you see any wild elephants around here?!” :smack:
I had a friend with large-area third-degree burns back in the '70s. (gasoline fire) He was covered in thin bandages and what I recall as being silver-nitrate. He did indeed get skin discoloration. Over the course of a day, the light would turn his skin coal-black. It had to wear off, as well. Rinsing didn’t help at all.
