Look who I found!
Dear Nancy, Hi, gal! Look at this letter! I sent her the FAQ and told her to join the list and talk to you. Cool, huh?? Her email is bellada...@aol.com Love, Marsha Marsha- would love the info you have on C. silver! I am a pediatric BSN (registered nurse) I bought colloidal silver a few yrs ago for his often red/conjuctival eyes... It was too much of a struggle to use it on him (3 yo then)so I started using the drops in my own eyes- it works nicely. End up using it ~1x a month... We all have Lyme in our household- Figured out that I had it when I read about it for my husband. He had the bull's eye ( a lucky man) four years ago, was treated with 3 weeks doxy orally--- lousy ever since---we are all recently seeing LYME specialists I am sure I originally gave it to Sam (now 5yo) but he has had 7 tick bites all together (over 3 yrs...) Bella hasn't had any tick bites, and for that matter hadn't had a mosquito bite either... Really irks me that women are screened for syphilis so many times- but not even a thought given to one test for Lyme- even with a hx of 4 tick bites... Have heard some "toxicity" problems with C silver - so we are using abx mainly- but I do take St J wort, have a bottle of Kava now...Got my mom off of Premarin and onto Promensil.>>> Would love your info...

In a few situations the bulb can influence the process. Specifically, for those who use salt or baking soda electrolyte to speed things up, or running the no-salt process a really long time trying to make high ppm. Enough current flows that the bulb begins to glow dimly. There is enough voltage drop across the bulb for the electrode voltage to drop considerably, towards 15 volts in my old setup as an example. We're talking currents about 20ma, which is pretty darn high. So it can serve as a really crude process current limiter for some setups. Be well, Mike D.

On 13 Jul 98 at 16:02, Bill wrote: > Is it possible to dissolve pure silver in distilled water ? I suspect that the *solubility* of silver in plain water is extremely low, akin to that of other metals. For practical purposes, I think silver would be classified as *IN*soluble. You just won't see a lot of silver atoms floating off into the water without some help. However, silver ions could be driven off by electrolytic action, leaving individual Ag+ ions floating around. Pushing enough current through that you produce so many Ag+ ions all at once that they clump together, or are driven off as charged clumps, and you're describing our process for making CS pretty closely.

Bob Beck's CS info
Also see this web site for Bob Beck's 'blood electrifier' and 'magnetic pulse generator' healing device plans. Home page: http://www.u36.com/~fredw/index.htm from: http://www.u36.com/~fredw/bobbeck/index.htm - Currently Preferred Silver Colloid Making Apparatus, Means and Method For information and educational purposes only, not medical advice. Copyright 1993 Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. Revision 28 February 1997 To easily and rapidly make unlimited quantities of good quality silver colloid concentrate for ~1 cents per gallon (plus water costs) you'll need three 9 volt type MN1604 regular alkaline transistor radio batteries, three battery snap-on lead connectors, 2 insulated alligator clips, 1 "grain-of-wheat" 24 volt 40 mA sub miniature incandescent bulb, a foot of 3/32" heat-shrink insulation tubing, 10" pure silver wire, and a foot of 2-conductor stranded insulated wire for clip-leads. This should cost under $20 maximum for everything and take about 35 minutes to assemble from scratch. This design is "idiot proof" and simple to use. It makes an odorless, tasteless, colorless fast and powerful antiseptic and one of the most remarkable healing agents known. The entire colloid making process takes about three minutes per 8 OZ batch for ~3 ppm laboratory tested concentration at room temperature. Use three snap-on connector clips for the batteries. Solder them in series (red to black) to provide 27 volts. Connect a 24 volt incandescent lamp in series with either (positive or negative) output lead. Solder a red insulated alligator clip to the positive (anode) and a black insulated clip to the negative (cathode) 2-conductor lead wires. Insulation is shrunk over soldered connections using a heat gun or match. Use ONLY pure silver (.999 fine) electrodes. #14 gauge (AWG) is the preferred size. Pure silver is sometimes available at electroplating supply companies, foundries, precious metals dealers, etc. Do NOT use "Sterling" silver (.9275 or other) since Sterling contains copper and nickel. Nickel can be toxic. WARNING Sterling is sometimes passed off for electrodes with commercial colloid makers through ignorance or by entrepreneurs who are trying to cut corners and save money. Discard them as hazardous. Use only triple distilled or de-ionized water for injectable colloid. Single distilled water makes the best transparent colloids BUT its higher resistance takes up to half an hour to make a 5 ppm concentration. Tap water is O.K. for most other uses but contains chlorine which may produce some AgCl which is harmless but gives a mirky appearance as will any salt (NaCl) which should be avoided. Bend top ends of silver electrode wires to clip over rim of plastic or glass container. Leave about 4 inches of bare electrodes submergible in the working solution (water). Spacing between electrodes is not critical. There is no on-off switch, so process starts immediately when alligator clips are both attached to submerged wires, however most commercial colloid makers do have switches which must be on when using. Process stops when either or both clips are disconnected. If bulb glows visibly, proceed and let current flow for about three minutes then remove clips, stir, and you are done. If bulb doesn't light or you see only a faint reddish glow, proceed longer. Do not add any salt. You may observe smoke-like plumes of pure white ultra fine grain silver against a dark background as colloid electrolytically sinters off the anode (positive polarity side of battery; red lead) and drifts into solution. Stir thoroughly before using or storing and shake each time before using. Three minutes activation of ~8 OZ of properly conductive water at ~72F gives ~3 ppm (parts per million) strength. Each additional 10 degrees F, will double ppm for a given time. Yield also depends on water conductivity, surface area of electrodes, amount of current, and time. ~3 minutes makes a stock solution which can be safely used full strength for anything. But its best to charge water by itself and add this to other foods or liquids as desired or drink it directly. Overdosing with any amount is considered unlikely for metallic Colloid, but silver PROTEINS can be harmful, toxic, and stain skin (Argyria). The 24 volt, 40 mA miniature bulb acts as an ideal ballast, current drain indicator, current limiter, and battery condition check for the apparatus. I found aircraft "grain-of-wheat" lamps (Precision Lamp, Inc. part #10238) in surplus for $0.50 each. You can momentarily short-circuit clip-leads together without harm; the bulb will simply light brightly. Also the visual brightness while operating gives an accurate indication of tap water conductivity. With distilled or de-ionized (high resistance) water, you will see no glow. Make and store colloids only in electrically non-conductive containers such

Colloidal or Ionic -- or Dissolved ?
Peter Lindemann's info (see below) clears up the question "Colloidal or Ionic?" -- but how do we know if there is dissolved silver (DS) in CS ? Is it possible to dissolve pure silver in distilled water ? Is there always some DS in properly made CS ? Is consuming too much dissolved silver unhealthy ? Is dissolved silver present in CS only, or primarily, when made using certain methods ? Do certain CS production methods produce excessively high levels of dissolved silver ? Does the level of DS increase over time, as CS ages ? Does the 'rate of conversion' to DS accelerate when CS is exposed to certain types of electric or magnetic fields, or heat, etc. ? When testing CS, is there a simple method to determine if dissolved silver is present ? When testing CS, is there a simple method to accurately quantify dissolved silver levels ? --Bill from: A Closer Look At Colloidal Silver By Peter A. Lindemann http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm >> Colloidal or Ionic? Another big controversy surrounds the question of whether this method produces "colloidal" silver or "ionic" silver. Most people have been told that colloidal silver is "good" and ionic silver is "bad." Once again, the truth might be unpopular. The word "colloidal" refers to a condition where, in this case, a solid particle is SUSPENDED in a liquid (silver in water). The solid particles are too large to be considered DISSOLVED, but are too small to be filtered out. This colloidal condition is most easily detected by what is called the "Tyndall effect", where a narrow beam of light is shined through the liquid to produce a cone shaped dispersion of the light. The particles so illuminated also exhibit a random, zig-zag activity called "Brownian motion" when observed under a microscope. When something is completely dissolved, both the Brownian and Tyndall effects disappear. The word "ionic" refers to a condition where a particle has an electric charge. In the case of "electro-colloidal" silver, this electric charge is ALWAYS positive. Silver will not form a negatively charged ion. So, the truth is that electro-colloidal silver is BOTH colloidal and ionic. It is considered colloidal because of the particle SIZE and it is considered ionic because of the particle CHARGE. In fact, most of the biological studies suggest it is colloidal silver's ionic characteristics that make it such a good germicide. It is also interesting to note that the old chemistry books make no distinction between the colloidal and ionic states of the electro-colloidal metals. << -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

NOTICE
With no apology, I launch into the personal here. If you don't want to share grief, please feel free to delete this very personal message to you who in such a short while have shared so much with me. Wil Cavanaugh She was one of our best friends. The people with whom she lived until 1993 called her Buddha-- the enlightened one. They were going to put her to sleep, because they suspected she had killed one of their ducks. Chuck loved her, and would not allow that, so he brought her home where she has been the kindest, happiest, most wonderful spirit around. She frequently had a rooster who walked beside her. She knew the peafowl well, while we had those birds. We had many waterfowl who trusted and loved her. She was a snake-killer, and she hunted with Merlin in her prime. Living in a Baptist enclave has its disadvantages. Chuck did not want to change Boo's name at her advanced age, but he did not want the locals to think ill of her, so he suggested a compromise. Why not change her name to "Bootiful?" And so we did. She knew her name, and she knew she was loved. We have many memories, many pictures. She was our friend. We think there was more wrong with her poor body at the end than just the heart failure, for which we were taking her to the vet. She would swell so big, and we'd have to have her drained. But she lost nearly all her fine musculature. Both Chuck and I knew last night that she had reached the end. Chuck sat in front of her on the floor in the dining room, in the full knowledge that she needed to leave. I will always believe that she was staying until Chuck was ready to release her. Gently, with tears coursing down his cheeks, he told her goodby. He told her that she was free to go when she was ready. Then we picked her up and put her on Chuck's pillow on the floor next to his side of the bed. Chuck lay awake most of the night, and he was with her when she passed over at 4:12 this morning. He got up and tended to her dishes and leftover food. I am grateful that he got to be with her. She loved me, but he was her special friend-- beloved above all. As you may imagine, we are in deep mourning. I knew she was not well. . . desperately ill, in fact; but we miss her so deeply it is beyond words. She is now at the heart of God, I know. She can talk, she can think as she never thought before, and she KNOWS she was loved-- still is. We will always be grateful to have spent 5 years with this wonderful person-- our friend. And if I might be so bold as to say: Our loss is Heaven's gain. They're going to have some fun up there, now that our Bootiful is there to liven the place up. I've often heard: If it's not beautiful, you're not dead. I believe that. It's the only thing that makes losing Bootiful bearable. I hope you will forgive us for sharing our pain-- that was not my intent. I simply did not want the passing of this most wonderful person to go by without remark. She deserves better than that.

Re: An observation...
This is Marsha's husband replying. My name is Chuck Hallett and my profession is Electrical Engineering. I am writing to hopefully describe the purpose of the light bulb in the silver generator circuit. The primary purpose of the bulb is to limit current in the event the electrodes touch each other (short circuit). When the wires touch, or your alligator clips touch, the current in the batteries and the wires is limited only by the internal resistance of the batteries and the connecting wires. Electrical Current generates heat. Lots of current generates lots of heat. Try this, take a single nine volt battery (a used but not totally dead one) and connect a spare alligator clip lead to each terminal. You should notice the wire getting anything from warm to hot enough to melt the insulation. The bulb limits the current to 40 milliamps which is a reasonable amount of current for the battery circuit, and far below what the colloidal silver process will use. If the leads short together, at best, your batteries ($4.95 retail each) will quickly discharge and you'll be out buying new ones. At worst the heat generated could cause the wires to melt, and at an extreme, cause a fire. Why a 28 volt 40 milliamp lamp? Answer: Economies of supply. 28 volts because we don't want the bult to burn out if we short the wires together. When this happens all you've done is closed the switch on what is now the equivalent of a flashlight. If a smaller voltage bulb were used, it would glow very brightly for a short period of time and burn out. Then it would act like a blown fuse, i.e. no silver generation until replaced with a new bulb. 40 milliamps because it is a reasonable limiting value for the circuit and more importantly it is a commonly available bulb (at Radio Shack anyway). Just like the light bulbs you put in your lamps, these small lamps come in standard sizes. You can get different sizes which would work, but they are harder to get and much more expensive. Lastly the bulb serves as a battery condition indicator. The bulb serves no purpose in the silver generation process, it is only there for the reasons stated, and you can make a perfectly functioning generator without the bulb, by connecting the silver electrodes directly to the batteries. You just run the risk of running your batteries down quickly. If you are worried about a fire, either make sure nothing combustible is near the batteries & wire, or don't do it. I hope this sheds some light (pun intended) on the situation.

I also have worked with less than the 28-36 volts commonly recommended, and commonly run at 15 volts with no current limiting, so thatr I can monitor the increasing current to determine the cutoff. I also use a pulsed DC, rather than a constat current. My theory is that by disrupting the current flow frequently (20KHz) that the tendancy for silver ions to be produced in larger'clumps' is less likely. Since I don't have access to a microscope to verify this, and financial resources need to be directed elswhere for now, this is still in the unproven "theory" stage. I use 8mA at 15 volts (meter averaged reading) as my cutoff, in hot distilled water, using 1/4 of a previous batch as a 'starter'. (Cuyrrent is directly related to electrode geometry, and is therefore relative to my setup: 3-1/4" wetted length, 14ga, 1/2" apart in an 8 oz container. I don't have occasion to use more than ~6 ounces per week to 10 days, so I don't make larger batches, preferring instead to make a new batch as I get down to the 1/4 level - using it to "start" my next batch. Even at the 120mW power level (8mA at 15 volts) I am just below where the product produced may begin to get a bit "cloudy" - seems that up to that current level, the resulting product is a very clear, deep golden yellow. At above 10 mA, however, a slight silvery hazyness begins to be detectable. Since the TDS1 reads 20PPM consistantly when the generating process is stopped at the 8mA reading at 15 volts, I have found it unnecessary to run beyond this point. While the silver "sludge" builds up on the negatively charged electrode (cathode), if the distilled water tests 000 or 001 on the TDS1 before starting, no precipitation is observed. Producing a pulsed DC CS generator supply is quite simple; a basic 555 timer astable circuit will produce more power than needed. Parts can be less than $25.00, including either a battery holder, or an AC plug in power supply; all available at Radio Shack. The 555 timer chip will tolerate up to 18 volts, which was a guideline in my early experimenting. If there's enough interest, I'll post a circuit diagram on my website for a 12 to 18 volt powered pulsed DC CS generator. If there's enough interest, I'll produce a PC board, parts list, and instructions for around $12.00. With enough interest, a full kit could be made available fairly reasonably. Generating your own quality CS doesn't have to be expensive! Let me know if anyone's interested; times are busy, but we can make it happen if there's an expressed interest. Otherwise, the circuit will sit on the 'back burner' for a while longer... Be Well! Bruce K.

Re: An observation...
I read that the 40 mA bulb was used to limit the current to 40 mA maximum -- and lower currents would be desirable, (if smaller bulbs were available) to minimize colloidal particle size. George's current is no where near 40 mA, and the results seem to be compromised or questionable, already (at 36 vdc). Does anyone know how to design a 5 mA current regulator ? (Any references or ideas appreciated.) Or, could one use 6 vdc, and keep a batch running 24 hours a day (in a dark place) ? --Bill At 10:10 AM 7-13-98 -5, Mike D. wrote: > >On 13 Jul 98 at 22:15, George Martin wrote: > >> When the current read 8.0 - 10.0 ma >> I noticed something different occur.

Hello George, Excellent set of observations. Your setup is very similar to mine. I see the same effect at about the same current. I wonder if those are larger particles. A long time ago Rose used a microscope at work to look at some CS I made that was run for a long time (different apparatus and recipe than I'm using now). She saw much larger particles mixed with the almost invisible smaller ones. Above a certain current, some people have talked about "burning" the silver particles. I doubt that's a proper description, but it conveys the notion that the particles made are different. So it makes sense to try current limiting at something below that at which the descending cloud of darker particles is seen. That's what I would try. I've long thought that current limiting schemes of various sort would emerge as the best strategy once we start to really study the process. I've also wondered if there is a calculable property that would let you predict that threshold level, such as current density (current flow vs. surface area of electrodes).

However, a few people over time have informed me that they can't read my messages when they are sent via Lotus Notes.

I think one of the problems is that Lotus sends e-mail in a MIME compliant fashion, but not everyone has software or networks which accept these files. If anyone has suggestions about how to deal with this issue, I'm very open to changes. Nevertheless, I'm informed that before too long, we are downgrading from Lotus Notes to Lotus CC Mail. I don't know what difference, if any, that will make to the problem some of you may be having in receiving my messages. If you have comments, please respond to me directly so as to avoid copying everyone on the LIST, most of whom don't care about my e-mail technical issues.

An observation...
Recently I had occasion to produce numerous batches of CS in a short period of time. Since I had several going at once I had to pay a bit more attention to the process then normal. What I noticed and would like to share with the list follows. My procedure is pretty much what I term 'list standard'. I start with 28 oz of distilled water (I use mason jars that I just happened to have sitting around). This is heated using a coffee cup warmer to approx 120 F. or so. The electrodes are two 5" lengths of .999 16 ga wire. Since I can't get Hanna Instruments to respond to my inquiries I usually process the CS until it turns a gentle amber color...about an hour after the first indications of CS production appear. I guess that this is probably in the range of 10-15 ppm based on list discussions. I am an electronics tech by trade and am curious about the goings on in my little circuit. So I have two digital multi-meters connected to analyze the process. One is in series with the voltage source to measure current and the other is connected across the electrodes to measure voltage. I have run this set up two ways; with three 9-volt batteries in series to give 27 VDC and with an old linear power supply I had on my work bench that supplies a fixed 36 VDC. The process didn't vary considerably when I used the higher voltage so that is what I usually do. Seems my wife always has a need for 9 volt batteries... At the beginning of the process the readings were on average 36 VDC at a current of .15 - .40 ma depending on the quality of the distilled water. Over the space of 20 to 30 minutes the voltage would drop a volt or so and the current would slowly increase. When the current reached approx. 3.0 ma the wispy discharge would become apparent. From this point on the current would increase at a quicker rate due of course to the increased conductivity of the CS solution. When the current read 8.0 - 10.0 ma I noticed something different occur. In addition to the CS 'floating' around in the vicinity of the electrodes there was also a rather thick 'stream' of CS that was sinking to the bottom of the container. This was in spite of the convection currents caused by the heating device. The 'stream' was eventually dispersed by the convection as it sank lower but this made me curious. I then ran a batch using the same setup as above with preheated water but no active heating device. This was to hopefully minimize the convection currents. I also let the process continue for about 2 hours. What I noticed was that the 'stream' of CS that sank seemed to pool in the bottom of the jar. There was a distinctly darker appearance to this and it was about 1/4" or so thick. After I terminated the process I let it set overnight in a dark cabinet and observed it the next day and noticed no change. I then gave it a stir and mixed everything up. I let it sit for an additional three days and didn't notice any settling with the exception of some of the sludge that had dropped off of the electrode during the proccessing. It looked like a regular (darker than usual due to the extra time cooking) jar of CS. This got me to thinking... I know that CS is produced at all times during the process. That is why the conductivity of the water slowly changes. I also had observed that at certain current levels different effects were seen. Next I modified my little circuit by adding some variable resistance. I then started another batch using essentially the same setup as before only this time the voltage was lowered to 9 VDC. No particular reason why I chose that value but it seemed appropriate since the standard is three 9-volt batteries... The initial current read .14 ma. (I think that this may be due to the failure of my particular meter to accurately indicate very low current values). and very slowly began to climb. I won't try to make a table of readings or anything but suffice to say that nothing really note worthy was happening for several hours with the exception of the currently slowly increasing and the negative electrode darkening. After five hours I observed a very faint tint to the water and a distinct Tyndal (sp) effect. The current had reached 2.45 ma and the negative electrode was also becoming fouled. I stopped the process and cleaned both electrodes. When I began again, the current had decreased to 2.16 ma. From this point on I cleaned the electrodes approximately every 45 minutes. I was trying to minimize the amount of "foreign" matter in the solution. I also began to adjust the voltage after every cleaning to keep the current in the vicinity of 2.0 - 2.5ma. I continued in this manner until 8 hours had passed and the CS was a very nice clear golden color. The voltage was 5.46 VDC. At no time during the entire eight hour process did I l

Maybe we'll win a few to our ranks, or to our way of thinking, and seed a few more agents of change inside the beast. Be well, Mike D.

COMFREY
Yes, it's back in health food stores. Years ago comfrey-pepsin was a wonderful GI (Gastrointestinal )healing agent. We used it to heal ulcers, to sooth the GI tract and it worked great. Who says you need antibitics to heal h.pylori?? Anyway, someone got a hairbrained idea to shove 1000 x the usual does into lab rats and i believe it caused cancer. (Duuuhhh, no kidding) So in all of their wisdom the FDA took it off the market. I do not know if it ever came back. Now we use "Okra Pepsin", which seems to work good too. So, Joyce if you have comfrey pepsin in your yard, do find out what, how, when and why, because it is valuable.

COMFREY: THE "BONEMENDER"
"W. D. Cavanaugh" : "My point is: almost nobody I know has any knowledge of comfrey..." COMFREY: One of the best weapons in herbal medicine; miraculous in it's ability to rapidly mend and heal broken bones and torn flesh. The Indians called it BONEMENDER and was wrapped around limbs with broken bones and other injuries to promote healing. Even the Egyptians knew of it's power. They would place the wet leaves over tumor areas. It grows all around the world in some form - even Siberia - like Nature's general medicine. One plant will quickly spread and they're very durable little buggers. The leaves are good, but the roots are also used for their magical active ingredient "allantoin". We have a huge patch growing in the middle of our garden every year and I've drank gallons of fresh comfrey tea. This year I'll be juicing the fresh leaves. For a long time my dad has been making a special comfrey liquid that he gives to people with arthritis and other problems; they rub it on the painful area and soon it's like new again. His aunt taught him how to make it; the roots and/or leaves have to soak in alcohol for months before it's ready. He preaches comfrey like "born agains" preach the Bible. Great stuff, that comfrey.

Re: Brain fog anecdotes
Don't be too concerned --- I can tell you that the only part that I didn't like was drinking the epsom salts. But even then, after a while I learned that if I made it with very cold water and "chugged it" real quick, the taste wasn't so bad. I had no trouble sleeping, no discomfort whatsoever. Also, I never felt the stones go rumbling through my bile ducts like Clark suggests, although I pushed out many of them (some as big as marbles). One thing I can stress is *don't eat any foods containing fats* the day you do it, or you won't build up enough bile pressure to push the stones out later. I've had good results eating oatmeal for breakfast and a salad (with no-fat dressing) for lunch on the day of the cleanse. Also highly recommended --- zap for a week (or take parasite herbs for three weeks) before the cleanse. Good luck! ...Tom Philip Collins wrote: > I also have all kinds of symptoms including "fog" and fatigue, and I think > I must to a "liver flush" or several.

Re: Provocative thoughts
That is an excellent question Whitney, certainly one I'd like to know the answer as well. I have fibromyalgia and candida. I've been taking only one capsule a day (in the AM) for the last two weeks now, specifically using it to try and clear up the candida. I also have the liquid GsE (glycerine based) which I occasionally use to gargle with (very infrequently and I don't swallow it). I've been thinking about all this "brain fog" talk here and I'm wondering if that is what is causing me to walk around like a veggie. No joke either. I just can't seem to think straight lately and my fibro symptoms have seemed to magnify itself. I've even developed swollen legs/feet that took a week to subside. Pretty painful getting around. Is it a herx? I wonder since this GsE kills off so much bacteria, etc. that it just might be. You think it may be a good idea to stop using it for awhile to see if my symptoms clear up? Also, I seem to be off-balance, meaning that I frequently stumble or lose my balance. If this stuff is not the culprit, I really wonder what's causing it. I take a lot of different herbs as well as CS. Maybe I'm overdosing or detoxing from too many things? I wonder and yet I've been too tired and foggy to figure it all out.

Re: To stir or not to stir...
Yes, Reid, but the E field that is producing the colloid is right against the wire, right?? I still don't see how a magnet of that level could disrupt. . . Nonetheless, I don't much like magnets. So, I'll change horses (maybe even Mike's famous dead one) midstream and vote (like that'll change anything) for the bubbles. Maybe even the ozone bubbles. hahahaha Wil C. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

One of the things that I considered doing was to put a small slow motor over the glass with the silver wire bent into a U shape sticking into the water. That would be connected to one side of the current and the other would be connected to a few silver wires around the inside of the glass. Also take your wires and touch them to the side or let them touch the bottom of the glass and watch the amp metter.
