But if you accidentally slip and fall into a prostitute who has VD, then you will be forgiven if you use my silver gel.

Syphilis has been the bane of civilization since there was civilization. Now, with Bakker's magic elixir, we can state with God's authority that syphilis is cured! Millions are dancing in the streets!

from a man who applied a few drops and his genital warts just dropped right off.

What are you looking for FDA approval? Don't you think it is a little blasphemous to even consider subjecting the snake oil that man of God is selling to FDA scrutiny?

This is a matter of faith, damnit!

Silver sulfadiazine, sold under the brand Silvadene among others, is a topical antibiotic used in partial thickness and full thickness burns to prevent infection.


This is a public health hazard, whether it is Silvadene or not. Someone might believe they have cured their VD, and not get it treated properly. Then they go spread it around. Another VD epidemic.

They slathered it on my 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Don't know if it was all that good, but I was in tremendous pain so would let them do anything.

Did it cure my VD? Oh, didn't have any. LOL
