Re: CS and herb teas

In theory that sounds great, but it's only half true. Thinking I would preserve some Kombucha tea (?sp), I added silver to the tea. This prevented the growth of fungi-bacteria for a while, but the organisms made a comeback. (Kombucha is a tea which is reputed to have healing properties when fungi-bacteria are gown in a tea-sugar mixture. Russians in high-radiation areas apparently had lower incidences of cancer attributable to this tea. I once bought some, but did not find much therapeutic value when compared to designer foods on the market. It's easier to take nice sanitary capsulated antioxidants to help prevent cancer. Besides, it wasn't too appetizing to see the slimy, gooey, white mass of fungi-bacteria growing above the tea water.) Here's some interesting information--There are now super strains of bacteria growing in high radiation areas--these bacteria produce high levels of antioxidants to survive. :) Joyce Inouye jinou...@hills.ccsf.cc.ca.us -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

Bought one yesterday, and starting with 359 ppm total dissolved solids (based on my new Hanna WP-1)(College Station water is notoriously high in nitrates), my first batch tested 001 ppm. Great! And it made wonderful coffee this morning. I did a little rough calculation of costs of producing the distilled water. This is rough, and if I screw it up don't flame me. The unit consumes just under 600 watts of electricity. So if you operated it 24 hours per day you would use 0.6 kilowatts X 24 hours = 14.4 kilowatt-hours (kWh). I think our electricity costs about $.07 per kWh (didn't take time to look up my last electric bill - but just use your own rate), so this is just about $1 per day. The unit is supposed to produce 4 gallons per day, so the cost per gallon is about 25 cents per gallon. Since I pay about $.79 for high (?) quality commercial distilled water, it seems to me this is a very cost-effective solution to my distilled water needs.

Went out and bought the* Kenmore Countertop Water Purifier*,thats what they call it. Have made several gallons of distilled water now and this is the result. All batches were started as tap water (city) with 231ppm readings on the TDS-1. After distilling readings were 001ppm on the TDS-1. This product works very well. Left the cap off of a gallon of new distilled water over night and it read 003ppm in the water at the top. Shook the bottle up a little bit and read it again, this time it read 001ppm . Seems the top layer of water in contact with the air became slightly carbonized with contact of the CO2 in the air. Lesson : Keep your water sealed when not in use. Now I`m not at the mercy of store bought distilled water. The instruction manual said it takes six hours to make one gallon , the one I have does it in 5 1/2 hours . Bless You Bob Lee -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast l...@fbtc.net -- Tai-Pan, If you don't mind me asking, what was the price of the distillation unit? Douglas, It was priced at $129 plus tax. Bob -- Joseph, Answers to questions: Sears did not give cost of making water, the electric power consumption is 585 watts,at 120 volts AC. It has an activated carbon filter at the outlet,its replacable every few months for $1.50. Price here locally was $129 plus tax. I filled it with one gallon of water and got one gallon of water out of it. After distilling a batch (one gallon) there was a wet sludge in the bottom of the tank. In my area it is mostly calcium, sulfer and some iron oxide. The wetness was mostly D2O (heavy water). Washed it all out after each batch. The distiller is certified by the California Department of Health. Amazingly it is approved by the IOWA State Department of Health. I say this because not a single camping or trail water purifier is approved by IOWA State. All the water purifiers in the Campmore catalog may NOT be sold in the State of IOWA. Iowa State has really tough standards. Good for them. The pamphlet with the machine lists 26 contaminants in removes as per EPA guide lines. Hope this answers your questions OK.

Re: Treating MS?
Mike and all, Forgive me to those that think this is not CS related but many are here for health reasons and so I send this just in case it clicks with someones symptoms and helps them. Delete now if not interested. Deb The MS/gluten/casein connection is mostly only anecdotal as it has never really been studied. This is what I have: (1) Roger MacDougall was a famous British playwright, who was diagnosed with MS in the 1950's. The doctors felt it was best to keep the information from him. They thought it was in his best interests not to tell him what he had. It was not until he was bedridden that he learned what illness he had. When he knew about it, he did some reading, and went on a gluten casein free diet. He recovered almost totally. This is from CAN A GLUTEN-FREE DIET HELP? HOW? by Lloyd Rosenvold, M.D., [Keats Publishing, 27 Pine Street (Box 876) New Canaan, CT 06840-0876, 1992, ISBN 0-87983-538-9]. MacDougall eventually wrote a pamphlet titled My Struggle Against Multiple Sclerosis, pub 1980 by Regenics Inc, Rt. 10, 2660 Touby Road, Mansfield Ohio 44903, Telephone (419) 756-2994 (Cost $2). Now an edited version is on the web at: http://aspin.asu.edu/msnews/mac.htm http://www.cris.com/~Debwalt/mylife/roger.shtml Rosenvold also includes some other anecdotes in his book. (2) In the Oct. 5, 1974, Lancet, Dr. Norman A. Matheson's letter Multiple Sclerosis and Diet was published on p. 831, wherein he outlined his having been diagnosed with MS and subsequently reading Roger MacDougall's story. He then described his return to good health and ended with: I thank Roger MacDougall, whose diet made it possible to carry out these observations. (3) Ashton Embry has written an article MS - probable cause and best-bet treatment in which he discusses the dietary and food allergy links to MS. The paper is available at: http://www.cris.com/~Debwalt/misc/embryess.shtml http://www.2cowherd.net/q/embry.htm or http://aspin.asu.edu/msnews/emb696.htm (old version) (4) In _Gluten Intolerance_ by Beatrice Trum Hunter, Keats Publishing Inc. New Canaan, CT. ISBN 0-87983435-8 She talks about a Dr. R. Shatin in Australia who has suggested that an inherited susceptibility to multiple sclerosis is from a primary lesion in the small intestine resulting from gluten intolerance, and that the demyelination is secondary. Shatin suggested that the high incidence of multiple sclerosis in Canada, Scotland and western Ireland may be related to the predominant consumption of Canadian hard wheat, which has the highest gluten content of all wheat varieties. In contrast, the incidence of multiple sclerosis is low among indigenous Equatorial Africans who mainly consume non-gluten containing grains such as millet. (5) In _Multiple Sclerosis_, by Jan de Vries, Mainstream Publishing, (Thorntons?) UK it recommends absolutely no gluten and very high reduction of dairy products, refined sugar, and saturated fats. He says that one of his most successful case studies, confirm that 'absolutely not one pinch if flour' i.e. absolutely no gluten at all... 'otherwise you are deceiving yourself.' (6) According to Dr. Joe Murray at the University of Iowa there is the possibility that the MS patient suffers from a neurologic complication of undiagnosed celiac disease. About 5% of celiac patients get nerve damage that can vary from tingling and numbness in the feet to confusion, memory loss, dizziness and loss of balance, visual abnormalities. This sometimes happen in the absence of GI symptoms. (7) Lutz, W.J., The Colonisation of Europe and Our Western Diseases, Medical Hypotheses, Vol. 45, pages 115-120, 1995 Dr. Lutz argues that there is a clear, inverse relationship between civilisatory diseases and the length of time the people of a given region of Europe have had to adapt to the high carbohydrate diet associated with the cultivation of cereal grains that was begun in the Near East, and spread very slowly through Europe. I quote from the first page of the article: In over thirty years of clinical practice, I have found, as published in numerous papers and several books (3, 4), that diet works well against Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, heart failure, acne and other problems. donwiss @ panix.com can e-mail a copy of the article text to those requesting. (8) There is a fellow named Dave Q that has recovered with a gluten-free diet and lots of supplements. He discusses this, along with other recovery stories, on his web site found at: http://www.2cowherd.net/q/ms.htm (9) There is a newsgroup for those interested in Natural Recovery of MS. It's alt.support.mult-sclerosis.alternatives. Ask your system administrator to add it if you can't find it. (10) A page on MS and Milk is from the Carbondale Center for Macrobiotic Studies and blames dairy for the distribution of MS. Visit:
