   It's very possible that it added to the amount of disease there is 
now. Some other things to consider. Doctors don't check for diseases 
anymore. Not only that they rely on tests like the alisa, gunderson, 
wester blot and PCR that are as reliable as flipping a coin. AND
that's the only tests that doctors rely on now. If they run one 
of thoses tests then find nothing it's PROZAC TIME. 

   Something that I posted  to the Rife list a few days ago you should
read also. Dr. Rife found that the viruses that cause cancer come from
the E-coli bacteria.  There are two and he called them the BX and BY 
virus. He found that when the E-coli bacteria was in the right medium
it produced these viruses. When in one medium it produced the BX and when
in another it produced the BY. These are the two that causes the two
different types of cancer.

   Now I'm sure you've all seen the E-coli scares that have happened
in the past year or so. This wasn't a problem years ago because they
used to cure their meat with salt in a smoke house. My grandfather 
even had one. Salt will kill almost any bacteria-virus that it comes 
in contact with. 

   Something else to think about. When the E-coli is in the right
medium to produce these viruses it doesn't die it just keeps on 
producing. Kinda like a mother having childern or a virus factory. 
Not only that it keeps on  multiplying. Now they use chemo and other 
things to try and control the viruses that it produces but they never 
use antobotics to get rid of the virus factorys.
 




Take Care

BTW  Yellow dock grows everywhere, and its not too late to harvest
it, thought it is all brown and dead on top. Pull it up, and make a tea
(boil for about 20 minutes) using about 1-2 tablespoons. The amount in a
capsule is not likely to do you much good unless you take a heap of
them.

While 5-HTP is apparently some great stuff, beware as most of it has
stearic acid or magnesium stearate in it, which I have been told is very
hard on the immune system. If anyone on the list has any knowledge about

Re: Provocative thoughts

1998-07-05 Thread Charles L. Church
Hi Debbie,

GSE, Grapefruit seed extract, also called "standardized extract of
grapefruit", is a powerful antimicrobial agent that is effective against
yeast and protazoans. However MANY people who take it get severe brain
fog such as myself. One list subscriber recently posted an excellent
link to a page about excitotoxins, which are toxins which excite never
cells, (i.e., primarily brain cells) to DEATH. Aspartame, "Nurti-sweet"
is the prime culprit. But there are a great many of them, and they are
allowed to be labeled under nearly any description, such as "natural
flavors"! Watch what you eat! Anyway I thoguht to ask this question,
which is probably erroneous, but I thought I would see what people on
the list may think. Is. GSE an excitotoxin, seeing as it has this
peculiar effect in so many people?

Hi all,
 I have been here for a while. I was all for silver a first. I am not now. I 
owe an explanation. 
 (1) Silver is questionable in it's effectiveness.
 (2)Silver may have after effects...(turning blue)...I don't want itDo you?
 (3) There are better alternatives.olive leaf extract...grapefruit seed 
extract..no side effects!!!
 Thats it! My two cents worth. I suspect I will be flamed for this. That's 
okay..I enjoy it.

Re: Doctor bashing

1998-07-05 Thread likowski
Hi all.

I agree with Mike D, W. D. Cavanaugh and all the rest who rallied in
defense of those in the medical establishment who are possibly willing
to cross the line into this/our dimension. My perspective/attitude on
doctors in general is quite tainted because of having had to deal with
them on a continual basis since I was 4 years old. I doubt that there
are many on the list that can claim the same amount of experience. This
does not make me an "expert" on ALL of them, but I can surely attest
with great accuarcy to the high degree of hypocracy and lack of *real*
concern for The Truth, whatever that may be -- at least in the field of
Cystic Fibrosis research. It's like that old joke: A scientist puts a
frog on a table and takes note of how far the frog jumped with all 4
legs -- after alarming it with a sound -- writing, "Frog jumped 3 feet
with 4 legs". Then he removes 1 leg and presses the alarm again
observing, "Frog jumped 2 feet with 2 legs". Then he removes another
leg, presses the alarm and observes, "Frog jumped 6 inches with 1 leg".
Finally, removing the 4th leg and pressing the alarm he writes, "Frog
goes deaf". If the "doctors" are committed to *really* healing the sick,
why are they barking up so many wrong trees to begin with? A perfect
example of what I'm talking about is the fact that Joyce Inouye
 has posted on her site PROOF that Colloidal
Silver KILLS THE VERY BACTERIA THAT KILL MOST OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS
VICTIMS!! Studies done by an actual lab and even earlier reports from
DECADES ago have confirmed it for all the doubters, not to mention my
own experience! So why are these "healers" and supposedly truthful
"doctors" with a mission to help humanity ignoring this information? Why
is a friend of mine with the same disease not expected to live past the
next week because all the drugs they've been giving him FOR THIS VERY
SAME BACTERIA have ruined his kidneys and liver and other systems are
now shutting down? That's where my attitude stems from. I *used* to
blindly trust them [like most people] and now I'm paying for it. Most
people with marginal "doctor" experience may not feel the same way, and
-- as I said in my first "doctor-bashing" agreement -- there *are* some
good ones out there who *are* just plain ignorant of these options [like
CS] and *may* be willing to learn and *maybe* even risk their career
JUST to help people, but they're so few and far between that I wouldn't
hold my breath. Most wouldn't risk their entire schooling and
high-paying career to start replacing their drugs with Colloidal Silver.
They may *want* to or feel a sincere desire to do so, but sayin' ain't
doin'. So they stay close to the security of their AMA masters while
continuing to use many of the poisons they really don't need to and
getting paid well for it. If *YOU* had invested in a long/expensive
medical education and someone proved that half [or more] of the drugs
you were prescribing and treatments you were getting paid for doing
could cease because of a substance that can be made in someone's
kitchen, would you cross that line? Move to Mexico? End up like Wilhelm
Reich or Ruth Drown [and they weren't even "doctors"]? Most AMA
"doctors" remind me of that scene from the film COOL HAND LUKE where
Paul Newman is being put in "the box" for solitary confinement and the
jailer apologizes because he's "just doing his job"; Luke says to him,
"Callin' it a job don't make it right". I salute any doctor couragious
enough to rebel against the mighty force of The Dark Gods, but the sad
truth is that 98% of them simply won't.

Thanks for the intro reprint.  As a new subscriber, I find this info. very

to sound that dumb, but there it is.

I am subscribing to the oxylist also, and I intended my Doctor bashing
posting to respond to someone's expression in the oxylist postings of
irritation with IBOM's policy of charging for a list of their registered
practioners.[I think they charge 5 bucks, which probably just covers their
mailing and office costs.  I suspect they have to cover legal fees to fight
the AMA and pharmaceuticals also.] It sounded appropriate to the silver

Doctor bashing

1998-07-05 Thread John and Valerie Surgeon
A number of derogatory statements have been made about physicians and their
power trips/moneygrubbing.  Let's try to keep some perspective on this.
There are a lot of docs out there who aren't bad guys, and they're fighting
constantly to get alternate therapies available.  I'm thinking in
particular of Drs. William C. Douglass II and III, and the many other
physicians of the IBOM and the ACAM.  

By the way, in speaking up for alternate medicine practicioners, I need to
emphasize that I may be a Surgeon, but am not licensed to practice
medicine.  I do consider myself to be pretty sharp-get the point?  I've
been known to cut to the heart of the matter, and make some incisive
remarks.  My slice is pretty bad, too, so I keep off the links.  You're
probably tired of all this cutting up, so suture self.

Re: Doctors

1998-07-05 Thread W. D. Cavanaugh
Mike,
The applause you hear in the background is mine.  Probably a host
of others, as well.  When a person of a different ethnic background
makes me angry, I don't indict their ancestors.

Our doctor doesn't run the AMA.  Many priests I have known (though
I'm not Catholic) have VERY different opinions than their church.
Were they to make that common knowledge, they'd lose not only their
credibility with the masses ('scuse the pun,) but very possibly
their jobs.  My brother is CEO of a large corporation, but with
politics involved I feel reasonably sure he bridles his tongue
(and his practice.)  There IS a place for politics.  It keeps us
from devolving into "is not..." "is,too..." incoherency.  We
want to get our point across as efficiently and acceptably as
possible.  And I believe that to be true of those doctors who
KNOW about good alternative treatments, yet who have been hired
under the constraints that don't allow them to openly use unapproved
methods.

BLESS 'EM.  Many of them are doing the best that they can, with what
they have, where they are.  We are doing the same.  I, for one,
agree with Mike that we need to get along (and cut some slack.)

Wil C.

Intro and Overview FAQ

1998-07-05 Thread M. G. Devour
Hi all!  Marsh asked me to re-post this...

-

Greetings and welcome to the silver-list. This FAQ will give you a
brief introduction to the world of Colloidal Silver and an overview by
way of a few decent web sites.

INTRODUCTION:

First, please understand that a *lot* of what you'll find online
about colloidal silver (CS) is imprecise, unscientific, and hype.
There are almost no controlled studies of any kind. There is precious
little objective data to back up even the most fundamental claims.

Also, there is a backlash against colloidal silver from "debunkers"
who will do everything in their power to scare you away through
exaggeration and fear. They dismiss *all* favorable evidence and
results in apparent overreaction to the plentiful CS hype. Their
claims do not hold up in the face of readily available facts. 

Most of the information you receive will be anecdotal testimony, to be
taken on faith or common sense until you can verify it yourself. And
be forewarned, you'll find yourself rubbing shoulders with advocates
of every kind of "alternative" medicine, from time honored to wildly
speculative.

What persists, when all is said and done, are the compelling
accounts of people who have successfully treated some very serious
conditions. They are not trying to sell you anything, but only want
others to be helped as they have been. It is these people that have
made me want to discover the truth about colloidal silver.

A WEB OVERVIEW:

A good jumping off point is this article by Peter Lindemann which lays
the groundwork and points out some of the mythology that confuses the
issue:

   http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm

Commercial CS Generators:

These sites are good sources of CS information and low voltage
direct current CS generators:

   Elixa, http://www.elixa.com
   Sota Instruments, http://www.sota-inc.com/index.html

A variety of more sophisticated high-voltage AC and DC generators are
offered by:

   CS Pro Systems, http://www.csprosystems.com/

Build Your Own CS Generators:

It's easy and inexpensive to build your own CS generator. Plans and
instructions as well as kits and pre-wired units can be found at these
individuals' web sites:

   Mark Metcalf, http://www.silversolutions.com/ 
  Read his Article One and Article Two, linked at the bottom of
  the left-hand frame

   Thomas Miller, http://www.bioelectrifier.com/
  The link to the CS generator is near the bottom of the page.

Other Information And Product Sources:

   http://www.wwmagic.com/clearlake/index.html 
  They sell an interesting sounding book by a "Dr. Hill." They
  have excerpts on line.

   http://www.escape.ca/~revive/  and 
   http://www.xpressnet.com/bhealthy
  These folks sell a mild silver protien product that is quite
  carefully made. A lot of good silver info on their site. 

   http://www.wishgranted.com/
  The online version of a booklet about CS. The author indulges in
  a couple of radically speculative scientific theories, but the
  information on CS is helpful.

CONCLUSION:

When you browse these sites you will inevitably find conflicting
information about different products or methods. Especially, many
vendors will claim their products are "unique" or "superior" or the
"only safe and effective CS." Take such claims with a grain of salt!

There are also many other sites and resources. In no way do I wish to
imply by the inclusion or exclusion of any site that this is the best
there is. Nor do I endorse everything, or necessarily anything, you
will find in them.

I hope that exploring these sites will give you an idea of what CS is,
how it is made and used, and some of the issues that are being debated
among different vendors and experimentors. 

If you have more questions or need help getting started, feel free to
ask for help on the silver-list.

The silver-list is a moderated, non-commercial forum for discussion of
Colloidal Silver and related topics. We steer clear of religious and
political topics, and stay close to our central mission of learning
about CS, helping interested newcomers get started, and supporting our
efforts to be healthier.

Thank you for reading this far. I hope to get to know you on the
list.

Be well,

Doctors

1998-07-05 Thread M. G. Devour
Hi everybody!

I'd like to make a comment about doctors, as it applies to this 
list...

On  4 Jul 98 at 16:45, Dameon wrote:

It worries me to see this sentiment expressed by so many folks on
the list. We *all* have had bad experiences, and some nothing but.
I've got no problem seeing that. If the MD's, the AMA (or equivalent
in your country) and the pharmaceutical companies had even most of 
the answers, none of us would need to be here. I'm sure every epithet 
you can dream up may be rightly applied to some doctors. 

But, as Dameon admits, sometimes they *do* save lives. Probably
more often then we would like to admit. I would have been a widower
with two small babies to raise were it not for modern antibiotics and
the diagnostic and treatment skills of a particularly *good*
obstetrician. 

I only feel the need to defend doctors because I think it's necessary
that at least *some* of them be willing to help us. And I would go so 
far as to say that some are victims of the "system" as much as we 
would be if we didn't fight back. Any doctor asking us for info on 
alternative treatments faces *far* more hostile regulatory, 
political, and economic threats than any of us do.

We had a bad time with Tom Clayton, who was on the list for a while
back in Dec-Feb. He was undiplomatic and too impatient to deal with
us and it didn't work out.

On the other hand, we've got Doc V. in Italy (Hi Raul!) who's posted
to the list several times and been well recieved. Further, I have no
idea who's reading this right now that won't post for fear of attack,
from us or within his/her own profession.

I say any physician or scientist willing to share knowledge with us
and meet us half way ought to be welcomed, or at least tolerated. If
they're civil, I don't *care* if it's hard for you, but be civil 
back. It would help if they would leave their "authority" at the door 
and meet us as intellectual equals. I hope at least a *few* will be 
able to do that! 

I don't know what kind of ground rules we need. But I think the list
is evenly divided between those who have no use for doctors at all 
and those who, like me, would appreciate any help that's freely 
given (and the rest could probably care less!). 

I'm open to your thoughts and ideas on this. Anybody wanting to 
correspond in e-mail or on the list is welcomed to do so.

Be well,

Mike D.

Re: The size of things

1998-07-05 Thread W. D. Cavanaugh
See what I mean by a slipping I.Q.?  I never caught the mm, and 
probably would have quoted the mm, instead of um.  Then everyone
I know would've said, "See, I told you they were fringe nitwits,"
thus including all of you in my new non-proofing persona.
Thanks again, Bob.

Re: The size of things

1998-07-05 Thread M. G. Devour
I noticed the same thing, but I wasn't going to say anything.  
I figured Susan was intending to say micrometers, or microns, so I 
mentally corrected it and read on.

A good way to write micrometers would be to use "um". The "u" is 
the closest thing in the standard ascii character set for the greek 
lower case micron. So the ideal range of silver particle is something 
like .001-.0015um, or 1 to 15 nanometers.

Oh well!

Mike D.

Re: Testing CS/grapefruit seed extract

1998-07-05 Thread Brooks Bradley
   Unfortunately, we do not know of any alternative Internet source beyond
the one I listed earlier.  However, there is a possible course open to you.
 One of our staff members has obtained a copy of Dr. Blaylock's book on the
subject, entitled, "Excitotoxins:The Taste That Kills".  He has read it and
informs me that it covers, essentially, the majority of the data we have
learned from Dr. Blaylock.  The book is, he states, superbly documented
with approximately 500 source references for about a 300 page book. Our
staff member said he purchased the book from Amazon Books, on the Internet.
 He paid around $14 or $15, plus shipping.  I have not, personally, read
the book, but this engineer---one of our brightest---declares it to be a
superb and sobering revelation.  I hope this is of help to you.  Brooks
