The study on colloids is extensive. It's wonderful how people choose to disregard the same science they have to thank for getting diagnosed and treated for basically
whatever they have- without bothering to get at least decently educated about it.
No one is forcing anyone to take anything or convincing people on subjects that lack proof. As stated, i have an interest. Obviously, some don't even have the interest
to do do a simple search before trashing medicine.
As for wanting to make sure there is academic research done on something before you put it in your body.- you people seem to disregard the fact that doctors use
colloidal gold (and more) to treat cancer and rheumatism in patients when all else has failed and these people have that exactly to thank for improved health and
quality of life. Or do they inject patients with mumbo jumbo they haven't done reasearch on??

Again (odd how this has to be repeated), I'm not claiming there's definite benefits for taking unprescribed colloids for any kind of diagnosis. The subject is interesting and promising.
I distinctly remember previously stating that.
Also, no, I did not ASK for ill-informed people to utter nonsense that clearly opposes science as well as simple biology.
Conductivity is not an issue with neurological disorders, seriously?? This is new both to me as to neuroscience. You cannot state something as blatantly erroneous as
that and expect that "opinion" to be respected.

Again, I don't know about the silver. It even seems to be responsible for some neuropathy, i.e. neurotoxicity resulting in epileptic seizures. Like I said, I'm interested
in the subject but never stated there is any actual, proven benefit in taking it- from the information I've gathered at least. It's interesting and I like to keep my
finger on the pulse with these thing as this is the same approach that I have to thank for not having ended up completely dysfunctional or paralyzed in the past 25 years.
I guess I took some more time and effort to explore
different strategies and approaches than most people take to investigate before they trash just to get a piece of their mind out there. I specifically asked for
EXPERIENCE with taking or making it, not ridiculous pseudo-intellectual remarks from people who make more of an effort to be cynical in a roundabout way then they do
to extend their general knowledge.

This thread, I'm hoping can get deleted as I see it serving no good purpose. And I'm bored to death with it and do not wish to provide more fodder for anyone who needs
an excuse to gain a sense of mental satisfaction via their limited interpretation of basic biology.
Anyone who shares my curiosity on colloids may do a search on nanoparticle permeability across the blood–brain barrier, methods used to determine
whether a treatment results in a change in hydraulic conductivity, colloid osmotic pressure in relation to brain compliance and brain hydraulic conductivity in vasogenic
brain edema (Yoji Hakamata, Umeo Ito, Shuji Hanyu, and Mitsuo Yoshida),

the danger of colloid cysts in neurosurgery ( pay attention to the explanations on how
and why they form),Possibilities of the therapeutic use of radioactive colloids in rheumatology (this one is a bit old but fun nevertheless),
yttrium-90 colloid as a local and minimally invasive therapy for inflammatory arthritis (both cirtate and resin forms), the same used in persistent synovitis of the knee,
colloidal forms of radiotherapy. An ancient albeit fun text exists by ALFRED B. SEARLE for those interested in the history of use ( i repeat, outdated theories but a nice read).
To name but a few. there are plenty of further references in any of the mentioned studies (conclusive and unconclusive) but for those who either lack the interest or ability to get some basic information about how their bodies work even I guess no amount of suggested material would do.

Oh, my lyme- medicated, thank you for the concern. I don't believe I need "snake oil". I'm following research, not drugging myself. Not every patient out there is dumb enough to
resort to taking just about anything- although
some are obviously going to greater lengths to be responsible and educated about their (or the future generations') illness and treatment options than others.
That being said, I didn't post to get into a debate about nanoscience or similar, I was more of hoping someone who makes colloids shares an interest in the field and has experience-based insight to provide and perhaps explain why they have that much trust in it regardless of academic data sometimes suggesting otherwise. In terms of medicinal use of colloids some use makes sense and some doesn't but we clearly lack the knowledge to determine what makes some use of it beneficial and some not- goes the same for any treatment. Seeing as there are clearly no people here with experience in the field I see no point in going on. Might be a question to pose at experimental labs ;-)
