We have several lotions and creams on the market here. They can be mixed with
the CS water and are easier to apply to the skin and stay there longer then
just spraying the water on the skin.
Some even use a cocoa butter lotion the same way.
Try that and see if it helps.

Testing CS or other anti-microbials

1998-07-01 Thread robert . wells
I called a friend of mine yesterday who I remembered develops
microorganisms for industrial purposes.  He needs to be able to develop
them and then he has to be able to kill them to stop their action.
Therefore, anti-microbials are important to him and he works with them
frequently.  I asked him about testing CS and other substances and he was
of the opinion that the process is fairly standardized.  He said that he
simply sends his stopping solutions out to a reputable lab to be tested in
what he called a microbial challenge.  In a microbial challenge, as I
understood him, a predetermined number of bacteria are placed in a test
tube along with a predetermined amount of the anti-microbial material (CS,
GSE, antibiotic, etc.).  The kill rate can then be tested and measured.  He
thought that the cost for a microbial challenge test should be about $400.
Not chicken feed, but not outrageous either considering that the lab has to
maintain cultures of bacteria.

The above information corresponded with the information I got from the
company that makes the grapefruit seed extract.  Given bjs' response, I
thought the question was worth asking so I wrote to the salesman to ask the
question.  bjs said:

Comparing it to CS seems to be marketing. 100 times, 10 times, on
average, what kind of a study produces that kind of precise numbers?

Sam Allen at the company responded with the following:

Again, I'm no expert.  For the record, my business is finance, not science.
I work for a bank.  But the above sounds pretty reasonable to me.  Of
course, no lab test can tell us exactly how a substance works in the body.
They only know what it does in the test tube.  Still, it is a start.  I'm
not yet ready to spend that much of my personal dollars, but I am
considering it.

 mailto:lullw...@flash.net


I was plateaued at about 90% better from Lyme disease as a
result of 26 months antibiotic treatment.  After that I
started taking CS and continued to get another 5%+  better.
Wish I had started the CS sooner, but then I wouldn't have
known what was helping me.

At the time I quit abx, I was still experiencing ear
buzzing, cognitive problems (memory loss, finger confusion
on the keyboard), constant aches in my feet  hands (no
swelling though), occasional bone pain (like a waxing/waning
tooth ache occurring at least weekly-- I imagined a little
spirochete drilling into a nerve ending!) and different
degrees of muscle/joint pain on and off.  I also still had
some brain fog, but didn't realize it (thought it was just
me) as the abx had helped so much already.  Something was
always present at any given time.

But when I took CS, within days, I started feeling even
better.  I was amazed to finally attain days on end without
the pain in my hands  feet, without a twinge of bone pain;
with no buzzing in my ears-- not even hissing!  I finally
had days on end without cognitive challenges, and I was full
of energy and ideas, indicating brain fog I was unaware of
was lifting.

I only experienced this sort of thing once on antibiotics;
at that time, I took a 3 week breather only for the symptoms
to return.

I have faced the fact that I may always need a maintenance
dose of CS.  Lyme disease is tough to totally get rid of.

That's not my point, though.  My point is that in my
experience, CS has helped tremendously to alleviate both
physical and neurological manifestations of Lyme disease.  I
do think CS passes the blood brain barrier, unlike many
large antibiotics.  Of course I can't prove this, but what
I've personally experienced tells me so.

Thanks for clarifying about grapefruit (Vs grape) seed
extract too, Debbie.  I for one didn't pick up on that till
you mentioned it in your post.

Sincerely,
Nancy

 What is the difference between silver list and silver digest?  I
 just subscribed to silver list, and wonder if I should connect with
 silver digest in addition or instead?

The silver-digest takes all the postings made to the silver-list and 
packages them up as a single, multi-part message once each day, or 
whenever the messages add up to more than 40 kilobytes. It's most 
helpful in managing in-basket madness for people who get a lot of 
e-mail. There are no differences in *content*, however.

Personally, I use the filtering feature in my mail program to sort
incoming messages into different folders, so I don't get them all
jumbled together.

 I was thinking today about a more organized database for
 alternate/complementary medical experimentation.  Would a
 programmed format help researchers?

What do you mean, programmed format?

  I noted Reid Smith's recommendations to use only distilled water,
 and keep the electrodes away from the glass ... use of baking soda
 to start things off.  Is this a safe concept?

Start with distilled water. Baking soda or NaCl additives have both 
been used. There are objections to salt, since it should form silver 
chloride, which is toxic. Calcium bicarb shouldn't do that. 

The other objection, which we haven't proved one way or the other,
is that using these electrolytes to jump-start the process yields
larger particle sizes than we want to have. People have used it with
no apparent harm observed as of yet.

 I would prefer to use only distilled water, but it might be
 difficult to get the process started, and I'm not sure how long it
 would take to get the desired ppm.  Stenulson recommends using 1/4
 of the previous batch as a starter, but no baking soda, salt or
 any other additives.

That's the other school of thought. The starter idea works just fine. 
The first batch you make might take a half hour or more just getting 
started, but then it perks right along, although much slower than 
using electrolyte. 

The objection to *this* method, which we haven't proved one way or
the other either, is that doing things so slowly, the silver *must*
be forming other compounds, since it usually turns out a golden
color, and silver should be clear.  People have used it with no
apparent harm observed as of yet.

 The silvery color in the zapper runs was consistent throughout the
 batch. This led me to believe that my zapper batches were producing
 true colloid, but since I used well water, I'm not so certain.  I'm
 also not sure of the ppm of the batches.

I agree with Reid. Use distilled water to start with, even if you 
then add electrolyte. Your well water contains a smorgasbord of 
salts, minerals, organic pollutants, and who-knows-what. Your 
water may be safe to drink, but you'd like to have better control 
over what you're making here!

 I have been using hydrogen peroxide for several weeks, and have been
 trying combinations of peroxide and silver.  Would you advise adding
 peroxide before starting the silver process, or after?  Dr. Beck
 ozonates his water during the silver process, which led me to think
 that adding h2o2 would have similar results.[Most responses to this
 question are negative.]

We recently talked about H2O2 and ozone water. Maybe someone would 
like to chip in. I'm not up to speed on this.

 Some thoughts on distilled water.  ... The nutritionist advocates
 ozone generators and distilled water, the naturopath is against

*Another* spirited debate we had recently. Anybody like to make a 
quick recap of the two sides? I'm not sure we actually agreed on it 
after all... grin

 How does Dr. Joel Wallach's colloidal mineral concept match up to
 colloidal silver?  To hear him tell it, Plant Derived Colloidal
 Minerals Purchased Only From His Company Are The Only Hope For
 Longevity.  He says some very interesting things, and has
 excellent credentials, but seems to really hype the whole thing to
 unreal limits.

Actually, I've used plant derived colloidal minerals from both the
TJ Clark people and the Rockland Corp. They seem to work as a decent
mineral supplement. Both are from the compressed plant material found
in certain mineral deposits in Utah. Other products derived from
various clay's or de-salinated seawater I haven't tried.

The ONE AND ONLY SOURCE tactic is the typical hype.

 Any small gas engine puts out a strong dc pulse at frequencies from
 2000 to 8000 hz.  This is what the Amazon Indians are reported to
 use for snakebite.  

I've no comment on Zapper tech. I have no experience with it.
Somewhere I read an article debunking the idea of trying to zap
venom with any kind of electrical discharge, but I couldn't tell you 
where.

It is very good.  I have herxed with it.  I do not know if it is better
that the CS.  Seems the CS helps me more than the GsE but that is my body.\

Like CS you can take a dilute solution with you on vacation and put several
drops in everything you drink and not get montezuma's revenge.  Cs in
higher ppm's will also do that.

CS made at home is less expensive.  However GsE is one of the first line
things I do.  Helped tremendously with sinus headaches--the nose drops just
cause everything to drain out of yolur head.  I also use CS for this.  GcE
won however in this instance.

Oh and last summer I cured ring worm with it and the RB device I have.  I
think it is the GfE that did the deal on that Took about a month I think of
daily application and covering with a band aid.

Be great if these two would work synergistically wouldn't it.  GsE is
bacteriocidal and CS is not so get them coming and going.

In my opinion, Silver Colloid should be taken only when needed--that is,
when our immune system is not capable of fighting off germs.  If we
concentrate only on the antibiotic, we'll be doing what traditional
doctors do, and never give our bodies a chance to heal itself. 

Take something that will clean your digestive tube.

I heard New Vision's products are good -- Minerals, Pig Arthritis, dried
juice of fruits and vegetables.  Juice Plus helps, too (O.J.  Simpson took
it.) Also, Mannatech's products-- PLUS (a hormone support), and Ambrotose
(cellular communicator).  When I took plus, my fingers became more
flexible.  People with rheumatoid may benefit from Ambrotose because they
may have abnormal carbohydrates. Also, immune supports are good, or a
powdered meal supplement. Try different ones and see what works.

 Subject:   CS in the intestine
 Reply-to:  silver-list@eskimo.com

 
 Hi,
 
 CS that is ingested and absorbed from the stomach will indeed reach the
 intestines via the blood stream.
 
 If CS is absorbed from the stomach, it then reaches the blood stream and
 is carried throughout the body.  The Villi in the intestine are always
 passing things back and forth, selectively in a more or less healthy body.
 We do not know if CS is going through the villi in the intestine, but it
 would be reasonable at this time to say that it does as the villi are not
 as selective as say other barriers like the brain, if the particle size is
 small enough.
 
 CS is an undifferentiating antiseptic solution that can be made in
 different strengths called in this case parts per million.  The particle
 size of the colloid in solution depends on the way it is made and can vary
 widely.  The smaller the particle size the better perfusion.
 
 A red blood cell is 7mm large.  The CS we are trying to make is 0.015mm
 large or so. To find this out you must send your solution away to be
 tested.  Several labs have been mentioned here.  There is a water quality
 lab in every state--several.  They can generally do this work.
 
 Weight is a factor is dosing this.
 
 Most of us make CS without salt.  Some use a starter from a previous
 batch.  Most have found that CS made in exactly the same way each time is
 nearly the same in ppm and particle size.
 
 So far none of us is blue.  Cs is great for sensitive teeth and then
 swallow it and in a week or so you will become uncomfortable and this is
 the herxheimer reaction--that is of course if you have yeast or other
 microbes that leave a toxin when they die.
 
 On the bright side, I just looked out and saw a mother black bear with her
 baby cub going for the raspberry patch.  She is a young mother, a yearling
 most likely.  Guess the big guy that got the fruit last year was pretty
 busy!  She doesn't like it when you go out and threaten her with her
 baby--he is a doll!!  About the size of a young husky dog.

 is of interst.  Sam Allen (sal...@nutriteam.com) gave me permission to copy
 the test results from their web page for posting on the list.  Since it
 comes directly from their web page, you should consider it advertising, but
 it has interesting information.  For example, it claims to be on average 10
 times more effective than CS against some of the pathogens tested.  Please

 Test Results, Lab Studies Promote Use of GSE!
 
 In November of 1994, the Southern Research Institute completed a study that
  compared grapefruit extract as a disinfectant to a leading commercial disi
 nfectant.
 The following pathogens were involved in the test:
 
  Staphylococcus aureus
  Streptococcus pyrogenes
  Streptococcus fecalis
  Streptococcus pneumonia
  Klebsiella pheumonia
  Proteus vulgaris
  Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  Salmonella choleraesuis
  Escherichia coli
  Candida albicans
  Trichophyton mentagrophytes
  Herpes simplex virus type 1
  Influenza virus type A2
 
 The study concluded that grapefruit extract was twice as effective as the c
 ommercial formula for inhibiting the above microorganisms.
 
 Similiar results were obtained when grapefruit extract was compared wit
 h isopropyl alcohol, which is often the disinfectant of choice in hospitals
 .
 
 The most impressive comparisons were between grapefruit extract and chl
 orine bleach, and colloidal silver.  Bio Research Laboratories of Redmond,
 Washington, USA, tested GSE, a commercial chlorine bleach, and colloidal si
 lver against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi,
 Streptococcus faecium, and E. coli.  Again, grapefruit extract proved super
 ior, the test report concluding:
 
  All microorganisms tested were inhibited with moderate levels of GSE l
 iquid disinfectant.  High levels of chlorine bleach inhibited the test
  organisms, but moderate levels were not effective.  Because the GSE li
 quid was inhibitory at much lower levels, it may be assumed that it is ten
 to
  one hundred times more effective than chlorine against the organisms u
 sed in this study.  On average, GSE proved to be ten times more effective
  than the colloidal silver.
 
 
 
 The Arthritis Connection
 
 Researchers have long postulated that some forms of arthritis, especially r
 heumatoid arthritis, may be related to bacterial strep infection.  New
 evidence suggests that several other bacteria may also be implicated, two o
 f which are Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella pneumonia.  Both of
 these are commonly found in the digestive tract.  Here's the connection:
 
  The research suggests that antibodies are produced to neutralize antig
 ens produced by bacteria.  These antibody-antigen complexes
  may be absorbed through the intestinal lining and thus enter the blood
 stream.  Normally, these complexes are filtered by the liver, kidneys,
  and lymphatic systems, but in some individuals, a serious complication
  can arise.
 
  With Klebsiella pneumonia, this reaction usually occurs in the spinal
 column.  A debilitating condition known as ankylosing spodolytis may
  develop, resulting in immobilization of segments of the spinal column,
  resulting in drastic loss of flexibility and consequent problems.
 
  In the case of Proteus vulgaris complexes, inflammatory responses can
 occur in any joint.  Left unchecked, this can produce the swelling,
  pain, deformity, and other signs of rheumatoid arthritis.
 
 In some patients who are using GSE to reduce symptoms of Candida or dysente
 ry, there has been a marked improvement in arthritis
 symptoms.  And while relief may have been brought about by a reduction in C
 andida yeast colonization, it is very likely that the reduction in
 population of other, alllergy-causing bacteria is also responsible for the
 improvement.

 Bob, 
 
 You are absolutely correct. The situation is even even worse than you
 describe though. I don't believe that people on the list are even
 talking about the same substance half the time. Is CS clear? Is it
 golden? How many microns in size will pass into the blood steam? What is
 the concentration of biologically active CS? Is it 5 ppm or 150 ppm? Is
 it the same if produced by AC or DC currents? Etc. etc. etc.

Hi Doug,
I seem to have stirred up a hornet's nest! That is great. My 
beginnings here at looking at CS and bacteria is the start of what 
needs to be a lot of different research by a lot of different people. 
We do need to research CS as much as possible, so we have an idea of 
why it works and exactly what it does. But remember, things work not 
because we understand them. It really doesn't matter if we know or 
not as long as it works. I don't know how this computer I am using 
works, but it doesn't keep me from useing it and getting the benefits 
from it.
 
 I am personally convinced that there is indeed substantial beneficial
 effects from the use of CS and I too am frustrated at the lack of
 scientific understanding regarding its nature and effects. Controlled
 laboratory study is the only way this will come about. Until that is
 done CS should rightly be thought of as a tonic with all the ambiguity
 that is implied in its use and effects. It is only after the substance
 itself is defined, its behavior and effects predictable, and its
 mechanism at least somewhat formulated based on scientific
 experimentation that it should approach the status of a medicine.

I would just as soon CS not have a status of medicine. That is not 
the reason for my research. I am just seeking answers to many 
questions. If it becomes a researched medicine, then it will be more 
controlled, and maybe even taken away, so lets just let that part of 
it alone!
God Bless you all!
Jim Einert, N.D.
 
 Best wishes to all,
 
 Doug.

Silver levels in Feces

1998-07-01 Thread Daniel F. Smith
I am the man that had the silver levels in feces as tested by
Biospectron.  The PPM was 4.324, which when compared to 'normal' of .016
PPM makes the percent difference an astounding 26,925% above normal!!

I think that the colloid I was making and taking for the previous 2-3
month, was about 10-20PPM with a teaspoon each morning and evening, but
have not had it checked, so it does look like 'input=output == no
storage.
