Mike,

Current / recent discussion on excess current causing a 'cloudy'
resulting product should be taken into consideration in defining your
recommended 'standard' setup... in light of comments (with which I
agree) that limiting current may produce a better product, I would
suggest that 36 volts with no current limiting (ballast bulb) may run at
an undesirably high current level; it is not a system I would personally
presently use or suggest as a standard - but then, it's not me who's
moderating this list or defining your tests.. 

I'd like to suggest that having some samples examined initially from
some various setups before trying to define a "standard setup" might
serve the purposes more closely; then proceed to define this 'standard
setup' based on test results / observations. If a product made with a 36
volt no-ballast/current limiting can test best, then recommend it after
the tests. 

Just my thoughts... good to see a lot of interest!

Bruce

I've been working with pulsing the current to minimize certain
undesirable effects of the constant current process; I personally have
reservations, however, about reversing the polarity...

The assumption here is that agglomerations of silver particles, which
have made contact with the negatively charged electrode and consequently
gained an electron / been stripped of their positive ionic charge, might
revert into very small, positively charged ionic silver particles
again but will the ideal actually happen? 

The thought that occurs to me is: It's also possible that all that would
result is that *the weak attraction* between the negatively charged
electrode and the particles of reduced 'silver sludge', which holds them
in place, would be reversed, repelling this residue back into the water
in it's charge-stripped state... 

IF positively charged silver ions, of a very small particle size, are
what Becker's work seems to indicate are the most biologically active
form of silver for our use, then suspended non-charged particles may not
be quite as desirable in our product...  Considering that silver
chloride and silver carbonate solutions are still being made and used by
many, who still seem to report positive effects, we're left with the
underlying question, "IS the positively charged ionic silver particle
the most desirable to produce *exclusively* in our 'home brew' efforts?

The positively charged electrode forms a black (silver oxide?) coating;
will changing the charge on the electrode cause the oxygen to un-bond
with the silver, or will it instead simply repel smaller silver oxide
particles (too fine to easily identify) back into the water? I tend to
expect that the latter is the case.

Avoiding re-dispersal of accumulated products from the surface of the
electrodes seems advisable; once they've gone through a reaction in
contact with one of the electrodes, current reversal may *not* provide
the desired reversal of that reaction, but instead simply propel them
away from those surfaces, to be suspended in the water.

This subject, therefore, may need further study. I'm inclined personally
to not reverse the polarity at this time. If a methodology is available
to analyze the resulting product, this would be interesting to
investigate further, but I am unsure what means for testing would
actually be required...

John,
If you are actually acid then the ion mineral water will help, if
you are already alkaline, it will only make you worse. If you have pH
paper, test your urine and saliva 2 hours after eating. You can drink
water up to about 30 minutes before testing, but don't eat or drink
anything else for two hours. Don't chew gum, or kiss a woman who is
wearing lipstick. That will alter the saliva pH.
Now, both the urine and saliva reading should be in the range of 6.3
to 6.6, if they are not, you need to work on it. If you can do the pH
test, and you get some other reading, let me know and I'll tell you
how to fix it.
Hope this helps!
Jim Einert, N.D.

Build a device to do this, and send me a sample of the silver, and I 
will take a look at it in the darkfield microscope and see what it 
looks like. If it is not working right, we may be able to see a

It's an interesting idea, Bill, and I think Bruce Stenulson has done
something with it recently. (Bruce, you there?)  It's easy to
implement with a 555 timer chip and a small relay. (A couple of
switching transistors could do the job for less, if you were building

This is a well put statement of the possible advantage. That would be 
a great benefit, if it worked that way.

Since we've yet to make the "standard" CS that standard, we're not 
really ready to check out more complicated options like this. My 
first goal is to understand and document the *simplest* system. Later 
I fully hope to compare various techniques like switching, current 
limiting, and that sort of thing. 

So you're on the right track. We've got plenty to learn.

Thank you very much for that info. I'll give it a try and see what

   If it makes the bacteria more active then I "think" that might
be a good sign. The reason is that each bacteria has a life cycle.
Say one bacteria's life cycle is 3 days. That is from birth, reproduction,
and death in a time span of 3 days. So what happens if you speed up that
cycle to 1 day. You have birth and death so fast that it doesn't have
time to reproduce. Some of the articals that I have talk about certian RF 
frequencys doing the same thing.

   On the other hand though, it could be a bad thing if they are fast
enough to reproduce in that time frame.

   Keep up the good work Jim and thank you for your efforts.

Why stop the process, when a timer chip could switch electrode 
polarity automatically, as used in Bob Beck's circuit ?  And if
you wanted to try it manually, you could use a DPDT switch.

If you did build a 'Beck device', did you use it to make CS ?
If yes, did the electrodes stay 'cleaner' ?


> What would you be making
> if you had some of the black buildup on both electrodes???

How do you know there would be _any_ black buildup -- the
reversal of polarity might 'unbuild' the black buildup, 
molecule by molecule, while you relax.  All I'm suggesting
is that nobody seems to have investigated, or at least 
reported, on this.

And even if there was some amount of black buildup on two
electrodes, there still may be significant advantages.
(Is there a reason it should be hazardous to have silver
oxide on two electrodes, rather than only one ?)

It seems possible that some of the gray silver particles which
collect on the cathode would be quickly converted to CS, each 
time the cathode switched and became the anode -- thus improving 
the net efficiency of CS production by up to several hundred 
percent.

Likewise, the black silver oxide on the 'anode' (now cathode) 
might be rapidly converted into CS plus H2O.

Thus leaving both electrodes relatively 'clean'.

Seems worth a try.  I'd like to see test results to compare
the resulting CS vs. 'standard' CS.

High Potency CS and Lyme

1998-07-19 Thread chc
Dear John J;   I have been using commercial 30 ppm CS from Source
Naturals for my Lyme, which I have had for 39 yrs. When I muscle test,
it tests strong on the Lyme point. When I try our homemade (And we are
rank amateurs at this) it does not make the reflex strong. In fact it
weakens other reflexes on my body, indicating possible contaminates. I
amnow taking  1 swig of 30 ppm every 6 hours and have been doing that,
building up gradually, because I was Herxing at 2 teaspoons 2 x a day
when I started nearly 2 weeks ago on the CS only. (I would not take CS
with antibiotics, IMHO)

I believe I will need 100 ppm every 4 hours for a month or two to remove
most of the Lyme. (I am not sure it will remove the Lyme in the brain
and CNS or kill off the dormant phase Lyme either) But until I get a
darkfield microscope, I may never know for sure.

Although I am not into herbs, I have always had great results with
homeopathics, a colleague of mine put together some herbs, that were
tested using infected ticks. That formula, I'm being a guinea pig here,
made me herz so bad, after about 10 days, I became seriously depressed
and suicidal. (Don't remember feeling that bad when I was paralyzed by
Lyme before.) I am studying it and seeing what I can do to balance out
the diruption of the brain chemistry to see how to allay that serious
side effect.

I have ordered 100 ppm Ionic Silver from waterOZ. I will be testing and
scoring it this week on my Lyme reflex. I will keep you posted if it is
good.

In the meantime, I am posting this openly hoping that someone out there
will be able to help us in making high potency CS, instead of having to
shell out $1000 for a machine that I do not even can deliver!!!  Most
people with Lyme do not have the money to risk the $1000. Let's pray.

Take Care,

chc
