1. When will people learn that they can just take collodial silver?

Cures everything, and big pharma isn't involved.

[IrishBuckeye]

4. ? What

Never heard of it. Wiki says FDA and it's Australian counterpart claim there is no evidence of it helping anything, sounds like snake water...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. You're obviously a shill for big pharma.

You don't want people getting healthy. You just want your pay check from Donald Rumsfeld.

7. Wow, I repeat what wiki says and I'm obviously a shrill for big pharma?

Tinfoil hats much friend? Woudl you liek to sell me some magnetic bracelets too?

And the mystic leads for plugging into healing outlets.

2. Where do they get these drug names? PROVENGE!!!!!

Professional REVENGE!!! PROstate REVENGE!!! Revenge of the prostate cancer!!! Attack of the Killer tomatoes....

I really think they should come out with a REAL "Fukitol!!"

I have a friend with inoperable prostate cancer. He's undergoing chemo and radiation - not at the same time - and it's rough. But I'd love to have Tom healed..............................
