Food authority warns against fake flu cures

More about:

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (VWA) has issued a warning against fake anti-flu drugs. The authority is investigating internet sellers of so-called "silverwater" as a safeguard against Mexican flu.

Silverwater, or colloidal silver, is water containing minute particles of silver, which is sometimes taken as a food supplement. VWA says it has no curative properties, and is advising against purchasing the concoction.

The US food authority has traced 127 different fake treatments of Mexican flu over the past three months.

Sounds like a scram by the mega-drug industry. The drug companies want the public to spend large amounts of money on vaccines and other drugs, that DO NOT work.
I have taken Colloidal Silver and it does work for everything I tried it for, including the flu.
