I have made this statement before and it seems to really upset some people, but there is no " Real Reptile Medicine. " It is all hit and miss and there is no REAL money or for that matter Real interest being put forth by the medical community on health matters concerning our beloved creatures. Experiance and trial and error or still the mainstay on what should and can be done on most health matters concerning reptiles and most of this comes from keepers who have been around awhile and have tried different things. As I have said numerous of times; " Making mistakes early on in this Hobby IS what led me to have an understanding of what works and what does not. " I understand your concerns on minerals and silver, but colloidial silver is made by positively charging water and breaking down the molecuelar structure and the silver is present but in very small and absorbable amounts. " If Sea Silver bothers you, I have also used regular ole crushed centrum vitamins. I have never seen anything but benefit come from either one. Never, have I seen a ill effect or a change in defecation or urates as far as having a strong or weird smell or consistency. I have used either or for many years now.......John Johnson
