Re: Cs>Off Topic/Head

1999-10-10 Thread KIM BROWN
Hi guys,

This is certainly off topic, sorry.  I don't know who else to ask.  Even
though it seems silly, please no jokes.

What would cause a child's head to be large?  This boy was a premature birth
and has just turned 3.  His head is almost the size of an adults.  Now, he
is a big stocky boy but the first thing people notice is his head size.  He
doesn't seem to have any other physical ailments, should this be a concern?
Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks,
Kim

Re: CS>new person questions

1999-10-10 Thread Scharbach

Hi Minerva,

Just a personal opinion.I started out using my own homemade CS (3 9V
batteries, silver wires, etc)   I noticed
that  I didn't seem to see consistant results.   Being too brain fogged to
figure out any of our "techie" posts, I started
buying CS.

It seemed to me that I noticed less ebb and flow of my Lyme symptoms on it,
and instead got steadily better.   However,
there are others on the list, who have cured themselves of Lyme using the 9V
battery method.   I think this, like everything
else with Lyme, seems to depend on the person in question.   Perhaps some
have better immune systems already, or
maybe the Lyme isn't as entrenched.   Not sure.

The CS I bought was WaterOZ.  You can get 4 gallons for $124 bucks.
I started out with 1/4 cup twice a day, and got a really really bad herx
when I jumped to 1/2 cup twice a day, which
scared me, and I ended up back on antiobiotics.

So you can start out with a couple tablespoons a couple times a day, and
build up.   It's all pretty subjective to your
own body.   (Marsha says, "a goodly swallow several times a day", that seems
to be a pretty good start!)

Hope that helps

Sparrow, Fellow Lymie.


HI.  I am conidering using CS to treat my Lyme instead of the more
traditional doxy.  I am also on various Rx for candida.  One reason for
my probable change is the cost of all of these meds.
Q.. Is the store bought version better than the homemade type?
Q..Is there a better store version?
Q..What is the dosage for lyme...

Thank you so much

Re: CS>HV AC/DC Tech Questions

1999-10-10 Thread boberger
Jeff;

Stay away from the 380 vdc. I was the one that mentioned it. It was used last 
year
during my early studies in making CS.
I had an S.E.M. made of one of my runs at a Texas univ. and the photos of the
particles showed brickbats. Actually the particle size was 18 to 80 nm. (which 
is
huge). Now it is interesting in that I have saved samples of much of my work 
and I
find now  almost a year later the Tyndall is very weak and the PPM has increased
greatly. This is not a one time fluke as I have gone back and rechecked other 
sample
made by parameters and find the same.

I my many years in manufacturing engineering in the electron device field I have
learned not to argue with success, but some factor has caused the particles to
dis-agglomerate 

Lvdc (28-36v) makes excellent CS, if you use continually stirring and polarity
switching solves the cathode treeing and reduces the sludge.

Memory tells me that Fred said to use demineralized water, but when I have 
tried it
the CS is always milky in color. That does not happen with DW.

If you are not properly trained in high voltage then stay away from it. It can 
kill or
burn your house down. (during my nine year in Centrally America I ran an 
electrical
utility, and I know high voltage hazards.)

The first time you draw an two foot arc with that 20 Kv it will scare the 
"hell" out
of you.

I plan on one more entry in this is then I must check out to get ready for the 
coming
disasters.

Re: CS>FAQ needs you!!!

1999-10-10 Thread Terry Dickinson
OK Katerina - here's one:

Maureen and I have two dogs and eighteen months ago one, Chips, normally
a very happy and playful character in spite of his then approximate 11
year age, began to get very upset, got into very bad moods and started
to growl and snap at anyone who touched him.  The problem seemed to be
mainly with his back and we eventually asked the vet to Xray it.  
The result was that the dog was suffering from spondylitis - an
irreversible condition where the disks between the vertebrae become
damaged and spurs of bone grow across the vertebrae and obviously
causing the dog considerable discomfort.
Veterinary treatment was to put him on a pain-killing drug with the
instructions that if he coughed up blood, was sick or stopped eating
then to contact the vet again.  
This treatment was continued for four months with no apparent success
(and fortunately no obvious adverse effects) when Maureen read a
reference that spondylitis was caused by bacteria so she put Chips  on a
tablespoon of CS a day in his evening meal.  Three weeks later as he
seemed to be improving she reduced the drug treatment by one half and
three weeks after that took him off the drug completely.
Three months later we took him to the vet for an annual check-up and the
vet commented that Chips no longer growled at him even when his back was
felt and that he was looking fine and in fit condition. Maureen told him
that he hadn't been on the drug for three months but had been having CS
instead which information appeared to mean absolutely nothing to the
vet.
It is now another three months later, we continue the CS, the dog is in
very good form, has lost the stiffness in his back and is fit and agile
again.

Instead of

Sinus infections:
Jane put CS in a pump nasal spray bottle, preferably a glass one as found in
health food stores for other nasal preparations. Jane initially used
Innovative Natural Products Extra Strength Colloidal silver, which is rated
at 500ppm but is probably much lower. She sprayed this into her nostrils as
often as she felt like during the day. Sometimes she would hang her head
upside down after spraying to let the CS get into her frontal sinuses. She
also took the same CS and held a dropperful on her tongue against the roof
of her mouth until she could feel her sinuses beginning to tingle. She would
then swallow or spit out that mouthful, depending on if she felt she had had
enough cs in her system and didn't want more. She would repeat the process
until she really felt her sinuses draining. Her sinus infection went away in
38 hrs. She later found that putting a few drops in her eyes helped in
getting it into her sinuses. Two drops in each ear (not more or ears got
clogged) also helped with the stuffiness in her ears. She now uses a mix of
the extra strength from INP and her own homemade and it seems to work as
well.
Do a search under sinus for more information.

CS>HV AC/DC Tech Questions

1999-10-10 Thread Jeffrey A. Madore
Hi folks,

My name is Jeff. I believe I've posted only once or twice before and
I very much appreciate the helpful replies. I've been down flat with
Lyme Disease lately so have been mostly reading the mail.

I have a few questions pertaining to CS generating that I would
appreciate your opinions on.

I'm planning to use HVAC at 20KV for my generator. My understanding is
that the typical setup consists of one electrode in the water and the other
slightly above the water by some dimension. The electrode that is not in contact
with the water, is it parallel to the water or is it vertical with the gap 
between
it's end and the water?  How large a volume of water is most practical with this
type of setup?

I noticed the use of higher voltages in DC setups...I believe approximately 
380V.
Can you tell me the advantage of the higher voltage?  I assume both electrodes
are submerged?  Would there be more of an advantage in using even higher
DC voltages, say 1kv or more?

Thank you for assistance. May God Bless you all!

Respectfully,

Jeff Madore

A single ion, if it stays a single ion, could be considered to be
dissolved. Groups of ions would be colloidal. Silver salts can be
dissolved or colloidal.

 I think this is not strictly true. Some silver will remain as ions, but
many ions will be attracted to each other under the influence of Van Der
Waals force and will aggrigate into larger charged particles.

Again the flocculates are not necessarily large enough to scatter light
or appear coloured but are multi-ion particles non the less.
These particle are extremely small, much smaller than virus' and blood
cells, and actually carry more electrical energy than single ions.

When measuring silver ions I make the the TDS factor 0.93 (100 divided
by the equivalent weight of silver) which makes 1.08uS/cm = 1ppm as
silver. Do you have different info?

Yes indeed. I have just purchased a conductivity meter with a 1-199
range, and am in the middle of conducting tests vs my silver ion
selective electrode. Results so far show a good correlation during clear
CS production.

CS>Meters - Your need to know!

1999-10-10 Thread Fred
This "meter discussion" is getting a little wild! I waited 24 hours,
to cool down, so here is my "calm" reply!

You have a need to meter "to know what the hell you are drinking"!

Slamming anything but a back yard modified multimeter (which the
"educated" admit means almost nothing to them) is not a lucid
discussion or of any benefit to anyone! And since when did science
become unable to measure the PPM of colloidal silver - did the
presence of ions, dissolved solids, etc. cease effecting conductivity?

To be technical, PPM is a stupid measure of  "PPM by weight", and
why so many false claims are not false - it is a measure by weight!
Drop a dime in your jar and you got 50PPM, no battery, no wires no
magic - parts by weight! That is why it is important to measure TDS
(total dissolved solids) - now, don't try to tell me an ion of silver is not
a solid (not dissolved, but certainly a solid and effects the conductivity)!
By the way, lets get one thing clear - most of you are not making a
colloid of silver! Use lousy water and you make compounds of silver!
These are dissolved, absolutely not  a colloid!!!

Yes, the Hanna TDS-1 and its knockoff are of small technical value!
But, wouldn't it be nice to dip it in and see if your distilled water is
really as bad as you can get and all you can make is large molecule
silver compounds? We do remember that the smallest silver particle
is the ion and if your water is pure it stays as a free ion in the water -
the most reactive form of silver, the most bio-available and the most
stable (like charges repel - they can not join together!). 

Sure, if you use a back yard battery project, you may be making silver
crystals! It is very simple though, if the water is good and you got color,
you got crystals! If the water is lousy, you get color and compounds of 
silver - no free ions (sob) and no crystals (great) but no potentency
against most virus (oops)!

That brings up the heated blasts of it "being a ripoff if it costs over
$40". Well, may God be kind if your health has a value limit of $40!

Some Facts:
A TDS-1 meter (Hanna or knockoff) has a range of 0-999 PPM
and an accuracy of +-2% or +-20PPM. Pretty useless  to measure or
certify 5PPM. They also need a correction for the microseimens/PPM
conversion, as calibration is usually based on CACO3 with 2us/cm
equal to 1PPM while colloidal silver uses 1.6us/cm equal to 1PPM.
(An introduced error of 20%, but if all you make are silver compounds
it will be pretty close)!

A smarter choice is the pure water tester with a range of 0-99 us/cm
(0-61PPM) or worse case error of +-2us/cm (1.2PPM). About $50 but
sadly, that may be a ripoff to most ears out there!

You are a great person because you give away gallons of your sludge??
Just who are you helping - your saving grace is that any form of silver
has some benefits. If you wish to be technically correct and accurate you
must buy the 4 ring potentiometric type for about $140, but then that is 
surely a "ripoff" because it is over $40. Damn the body, save the pennies!

Pissed, Yes! What is the benefit of using a freely provided forum, designed
to educate and help those interested in their health, if it becomes the soap
box for hate! I checked the "Hanna knockoff" site and see nothing wrong and
in fact if their claim of "temperature compensated" refers to the solution
under
test, they have the best bargain I have seen this month. I hope they go after
anyone that tries to slander them!

By the way, I have no relationship with Hanna or their "ripoff?", but I do
sell a 
colloidal silver generator which is "my ripoff at $295", but it includes a
built-in
PPM meter (TDS) and other features no other units have! The funny thing is that
many customers come back and buy more units - is that a double rippoff?
 
Cordially, Fred Peschel

RE: CS>Sauerkraut

1999-10-10 Thread Robert Ratliff
If there is mold on top, just scrape it off and eat the rest. It will do
better if you press the cabbage firmly and let the juice fill the jar. You
can use the same recipe but put the shredded cabbage in a large container,
after the 3rd day it will make a sour juice that can be drained off and
drank. BTY, home made kraut tastes much better than the store bought kraut.
I suggest everyone give it a try at least once.

  Here's the recipe:  Shred 5 pounds of cabbage into a large bowl or kettle.
Sprinkle it with AT LEAST 1/2 cup of salt.  (If you skimp on the salt, your
batch will spoil, so it's better to err on the side of generosity. Salt is a
preservative and keeps the kraut from spoiling while it's fermenting.)  Toss
the two ingredients together until the cabbage is well salted.  Press the
salted cabbage into canning jars and put the lids on loosely so the gases
can escape.  Let it work at room temperature for about 10 days.  That's all
there is to it.  Test by taste.

  Spread the word!  Sauerkraut is REAL FOOD!!

CS>Off Topic - Magnet purchase info???

1999-10-10 Thread Katarina Wittich
Hey everyone,

I want to make magnetized water and just relized that the magnets I have are
too small to work properly with the litre bottles I want to use..
It is utterly overwhelming looking for magnets on the web -- and they are
all absurdly expensive!!

So does anyone have info on a cheap source of circular magnets with a 8 to
10 cm diameter and around 3,000 gauss?

Thanks,
Katarina

Re: CS>rose color cs

1999-10-10 Thread Britta Jones
Deborah,
Although I am new at experimenting with CS I have done weeks of studies
reading and trying  out just about every
recommendation , on the internet, about how to make CS, there are over 300
sites and I lost track after 140 of them, but sorted through everything I
printed out, read the
articles a second and even a third time, highlighted the most *important*
aspects and put it all in two notebooks
for reference.

I can tell you that the general consensus is that the color
should be if not *clear* then a *light yellow* to *pale amber*.  A few
recommendations are for *white* CS, which always has added salt or baking
soda.  I have made and tasted all types.  The *clear* and the *white*
tastes like clean water,  from *pale/light yellow* onwards
it tastes a little bitter and has a mild sting to it, but it works and is
palatable.  It is claimed by  many that the darker the color the bigger are
the particles and the less
accessible to the body-cells, and that makes sense when
you consider that a particle that can't penetrate the cell walls is either
useless or can even be harmful in large amounts/over long period of time.
If the *amber* CS you are buying doesn't have a slightly
bitter/metallic taste it could mean the product is mislabeled, is filtered
or has an additive.  I personnally
would not feel comfortable with that.
I probably should add that I do not make CS commercially and have no intent
to do so. Since one of
the most important points is that the particles carry a tiny electric charge
in order to do the most good, but that this charge can be lost, or at least
diminished over a very short period, or through exposure to light, heat, or
cold temperatures, I believe that in order to be sure and have
confidence in the goodness or effectiveness of a product, wherever possible
I try to produce it for myself,
and it's well worth it with even the most basic generator
and good grade of pure silver wires or strips and the
best distilled water you can find (it pays to read the labels), and also
very important to be able to, sometime,
be able to pick the brain of someone who's been there, done that, (like this
forum). Thanks guys and girls.
