Colloidal Silver
G'day, just noticed your colloidal silver page backup and wanted to point out some stuff for your sake in case you actually believe that nonsense.

'Supplements' are the biggest money spinning industry in multi-level marketing scams globally. Of these quack products and snake oils are a majority market share, from acai berry, herbal remedies, folk remedies, to 'detox,' none have any proven efficacy. By logical deduction alone one can guard against such con artistry on the grounds that 'if alternative medicine worked it wouldn't be alternative, it would just be medicine' however the majority of believers in such woo find it integral within their Grand Conspiracy of Everything to have some belief system whereby 'big pharma' are some illuminati / reptilian run organisation (I kid you not, dig a little deeper in ANY anti-vaccination or alternative medicine type persons blogs or thoughts and you WILL find references to reptilian aliens and the illuminati, whack as it sounds!)

Colloidal silver ceased to be used in the 1930's in any way, shape or form. As an anti-bacterial topical treatment it actually causes wounds to heal slower than control elements in a systematic examination (Aziz 2012, et al) and there are some pretty well written articles explaining just how dangerous this--of all the snake oils--really is. Here are a couple of great ones:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Colloidal_silver

http://whatstheharm.net/colloidalsilver.html

The top one points out how they target survivalists too, which make up the others who aren't crazy conspiracy nuts; people with either poor educations or an earnest psychological concern for survival of some upcoming disaster they are worried about, or the minority of sane rational individuals who just don't know any better. The easy way to tell what demographic constituents and believers in woo fall into is the manner in which they react to information to the contrary of one or multiple elements of their belief system. If they plug their ears and scream loudly, well, you know you have a conspiretard on your hands.

I hope this helps you work out why the colloidal silver page was purged from Wiki; conspiracy nuts (and I mean nuts) with crazy agendas (specifically those selling snake oils on their websites) were using Wiki as a marketing tool and refusing to accept that 100% of all educated persons who have EVER conducted even remedial experimentations on silver and it's application within medicine and healthcare have unanimously agreed it is of no benefit. Besides silver tool surfaces being better than some metals (but nowhere near stainless steel; we're just talking compared to old iron tools or wooden material catching bacteria and all kinds of nasty in it's grain) it is not used in medicine at all since 1930. For good reason too. If you google around you'll find what happens to long term users of colloidal silver. They turn into smurfs!
