CS[Fwd: CSIntestine, Pt 10]
Carmen, yes, watch for post. :-) -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast l...@fbtc.net ---BeginMessage--- To most beautiful and excellent of the CS art, ENZYMES, con`t Most of the studies concerning the nature of enzymes have been carried on in relation to enzymes having to do with digestion in the alimentary canal. These enzymes always give a protein reaction, and the activity of the enzyme is greatly reduced or lost if the material containing the enzyme has been coagulated or otherwise chemically changed. It has been demonstrated that an enzyme may exist in an inactive form within the cell producing it and when secreted may still be inactive. This inactive form is designated as a *proferment* or *zymogen*. The zymogen may be stored in the cell in the form of granules which are converted into active enzyme at the moment of secretion, or it may be secreted in inactive form and require the cooperation of some other substance before it is capable of effecting its normal reaction. In such cases the second substance is said to activate the enzyme. Inorganic substances causing activation are designated *activators*, and organic substances serving the same purpose are called *kinases*. There are some cases where the action of an enzyme is helped by, or dependent upon the presence of some other substance. These cases of *coactivity* are to be distinguished from activation by the fact that the combination may be made or unmade. Some enzymes require small molecules known as cofactors in order to demonstrate catalytic activity. Certain enzymes require specific mineral ions to complete their active site. In all the reactions that involve transfer of phosphate groups from one substrate molecules to another, the magnesium ion (Mg++) is required. In addition to the metallic cofactors, a variety of small organic compounds serve as cofactors. They are given the name *coenzymes*. Their effect on activity of their corresponding enzymes is similar to that of metallic cofactors. Many cellular reactions are controlled by the availability of essential coenzymes. Many enzymes have metal ions locked into their active sites, and these ions help draw electrons from the substrate molecules. The enzyme carboxypeptidase chops up proteins by using a zinc ion to draw electrons away from the bonds being broken. Many of the trace elements such as molybdenum and manganese, which are necessary for your health,also use metal ions in this way. A cofactor that is a nonprotein organic molecule is called a coenzyme. Many of the vitamins that your body requires are parts of coenzymes. In many enzyme-catalyzed oxidation-reduction reactions, energy bearing electrons are passed from the active site of the enzyme to a coenzyme that serves as the electron acceptor. The coenzyme then carries the electron to a different enzyme that is catalyzing another reaction, releases the electrons ( and their energy) to that reaction, and then return to the original enzyme for another load of electrons. In most cases the electrons are paired with protons as hydrogen atoms. Just as armored cars transport cash around a city, so coenzymes shuttle energy, in the form of hydrogen atoms from one place to another in a cell. One of the most important coenzymes is the hydrogen acceptor * nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide* called NAD+. When NAD+ acquires a hydrogen atom from the active site of an enzyme, it becomes reduced as NADH. The energetic electron of the hydrogen atom is then carried by the NADH molecule, like money in your pocket. The oxidation of foodstuffs in your body, from which you get the energy to drive your life, takes place by the cell`s stripping of electrons from food molecules and donating them to NAD+, thus forming a wealth of NADH. This NADH will be converted into ATP,*adenosine triphosphate*. The NADH energy resulting from the oxidation of foodstuffs is converted into ATP which the cells use to drive active transport across cell membranes, to power movement, to provide energy for chemical reactions, to grow; almost every energy requiring process that cells perform is powered by ATP. Cells contain a pool of ATP which is used to drive the endergonic, energy requiring processes of the cell. An individual on a typical diet of 2000 calories/day goes through about 125 pounds of ATP a day. But cells do not maintain large stockpiles of ATP, just as people do not carry large amounts of cash with them. Instead cells are constantly recycling their ATP, withdrawing from their reserves to restock more ATP from the NADH, which in turn is replenished by NAD+,using the energy stored in fats or starches which have been digested. If you could mark every ATP molecule in your body at one instant of time, and watch them, they would be gone in a flash only to be restocked and used over and over.

CS[Fwd: CS555 Timers, I limiters,]
For Kent, :-) -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast l...@fbtc.net ---BeginMessage--- Greetings all, Saw an interesting posting a while back (several) on timers and current limiting. The LM-555 first came out in 1969 as part of National Semiconductors line of *Monolithic* technology. When CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Substrate) was invented it was also produced in that technology. The LM-555 is now a standard workhorse in the electronic business. The design is such that it can be operated in the Standard 12 volt signal range or operated in the 5 volt TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) signal range. Most of the CS circuits I have seen are operating in the standard 12 volt signal range. The CMOS version can also operate in the Standard 12 volt signal range or the TTL signal range. The difference between the Monolithic and CMOS versions are the power dissipation. The Monolithic version uses 10 ma at 15 volts, while the CMOS version uses 400 ua at 12 volts. The CMOS power dissipation is under 1 mw. That makes it very good for battery operated circuits. The CMOS version in called LMC-555. Thats L for Linear, M for Monolithic, and C for CMOS. See how easy that is.:-) Max supply voltage for the LM-555 is +18 volts and max supply for the LMC-555 is +15 volts. Of course a good designer will never operate the ICs at maximun ratings,unless he wants many failures. Operating at 12 volts gives a 20% safety factor. A very easy to make adjustable current limiter can be made with only two parts. An LM-317 three terminal regulator and a 250 ohm potentiometer will do it. These are availible at any electronics place at low cost, typically about $2.50 for the LM-317 and about $2.00 for the petentiometer. The three terminals are Vin, Vout, and Adj. The Vin terminal connects to the power source, the Vout terminal goes to one end of the potentiometer,the Adj terminal goes to the other end of the potentiometer. (a potentiometer is a resistance element with a wiper that moves over the resistence element, it has three terminals). The end of the potentiometer that has the Adj wire attached to it goes to the silver electrodes (the load). The center potentiometer terminal (the wiper terminal) is connected to the Vout terminal. This mades the potentiometer into the same thing as a rheostat ( a two connection variable resister). To use it, place an milliamp meter in the cicuit and adjust the *pot*(slang for potentiometer) for the current you want, and thats where the current will stay. Of course there has to be current flowing to start with, so wait until you have a good current flow before you set it for what you want. The LM-117 can be used in place of the LM-317. This is a little known use of the three terminal regulator. Back to the LM-555. This timer has a dc coupled Darlington output amplifier (push-pull). It is basically independent of the main timer , and can source or sink about 200 ma of current. Safely that is. Normally we don`t push circuits close to max ratings, as stated before. Source means the output can supply the current and sink means the output can absorb ( receive) the current. In the source operation it is supplying current from the power source of the timer. In the sink operation it is receiving current from a separate supply thru a load. That feature makes the LM-317 very useful in a wide range of circuits.

CSMiniature Metal Detector
Hi Ho Silverees! While I was mulling over the structured water detector ideas, I came across the thought about a miniature metal detector that would have a container into which a specific amount of CS would be poured and we get a reading that varies with the amount of silver in the CS. The readings could (hopefully) correlate with PPM better than conductivity. It is conceivable that a few 555s and some other handy parts could be the core of this little jewel. Definitely gotta water the potted plant on that one. Later.

CS[Fwd: [Fwd: CS Mucous?]]
You wrote: ..the inefficient activity of cs when there is a mucous barrier!? In March ,1873, Dr. Schussler of Oldenburg, Germany, enunciated his new system of using The Twelve Tissue Salts,bringing physio-chemical and physio-pathological facts to bear on his therapuetic procedure. According to Dr. Schussler, disease is a result of a disturbance of the molecular motion of one of the 12 inorganic tissue salts. Rest- oration of health by supplying a minimal dose of the same inorganic salt to rectify the molecular configuration of the affected cell or tissue salt,constitutes a cure. Virchow defines disease as an altered state of the cell. Potassium Chloride [Kali Muriaticum], is one of the 12 tissue salts of Schussler.The pure chloride is prepared by trituration according to homeopathic pharmaceutical rules. A proving of the 6x dynamization is reported in the Homeopathic Recorder,1900. The 6x trituration caused a bad sore throat,pain on swallowing even water,tonsils inflammed,throat filled with tough ,stringy mucus,ankle joints puffy. The prover was perfectly well until he commenced to take the Kali Muriaticum [ Potassium Chloride ]. According to Dr. Schussler, the cell salt,potassium chloride has a significant biochemical role in the formation and production of fibrin. Fibrin is produced by the interaction of the chloride of potassium,with oxygen,on certain albuminoids. Biochemically, it has been demonstrated that fibrin cannot be synthesized in the absence of potassium chloride and that the fibrin cannot be held in proper solution in the blood without the correct balance of the cell salt. The white or grey coating on the tongue,mucous lining or tonsils, is the fibrin that has become non-functional because of a deficiency of potassium chloride and oxygen. Similar fibrinous exudations are also found in discharges or expectorations of a thick,white slime or phlegm,from any of the mucous membranes,or in flour-like scaling of the skin. When the epidermal cells are irritated, molecules of Kali mur are lost and fibrin in the form of a white or greyish exudation, is thrown off. This,in drying,becomes a mealy eruption. If the irritation extends to the tissues beneath the epidermis,both fibrin and serum will exude,and the involved part of the skin will be pushed up in the form of blisters. This is exactly what takes place in small-pox,cow-pox and vaccine disease. Similar processes can take place within and among epithelial cells in mucosal lining. When the integrity of the affected cells are restored by administration of Kali muriaticum molecules, a reabsorption or throwing off of the exudation [mucus] occurs. This is attained by the production of hydrochloric acid formed by one part of chlorine from K Cl with hydrogen. The hydrochloric acid formed ,dissolves the fibrin in its incipient stage of formation. This patho-physiological phenomenon corresponds to the second stage of inflammation of serous membranes. Comments: The mucous barrier is due to an exudation of a blood product called fibrin precipitated by a physio-chemical deficiency.The cause is an irritation with loss the molecular configuration of Kali mur in the cell or the cell salt.Its resolution can be activated by supplying the body a minimal dose of the appropriate cell salt of Schussler- Kali mur [potassium chloride]. The gastric juice in man is a strong acid with a pH [hydrogen ion concentration] of 1.6 - 2.0. The gastric walls are postulated to be covered and protected by the gastric mucosa which is derived from protein. Normally, proteins are dissolved in such strong acid. The moot point is: Why the gastric wall is not corroded? It is generally accepted that where microbes thrive and breed, decay sets in. This is not totally correct. The microbes have been found to reside only in the body system but not breed when the following principles are observed: We are what we eat We are what we breathe We are what we drink The immune surveillance system of the body merely tolerates their existence which can be beneficial to the body's economy. This is the rationale of symbiosis. The protective mechanism of the living body particularly for its protein component is the maintenance of the stereo orientation of the tissue, its 3 dimensional structure.When this 3 dimensional property is sustained in the tissue structure, the microbes will not attack and the gastric secretion [ HCL ] will not corrode. But, the moment, the tissue dies, that is when it loses its bioenergy or aura, its 3 dimensional structure collapses. As a result, the microbes will invade,causing putrefaction and the the hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice will corrode,giving rise to ulceration and ultimately perforation. Health is maintained by an optimum supply
CSElectrode Tank Geometry
Greetings and Salivations! (Hey,I'm hungry) Gotto know, has anyone experimented with changing the shape of the electrodes and the tank? I am curious if there is any advantage to using horizontal electrodes rather than vertical. It would be easy to find out. Bend the electrodes into an L shape, connect to the foot of the L and submerse the long part horizontally. Might there be difference in sludge? Tree-ing? particle size? Also, I am thinking that there may be some potential advantages in having the silver-releasing electrode in the center of the round production vessel and the other electrode as an inert (stainless steel) tube surrounding the silver electrode. This has the potential to cause the silver to be released more evenly around the electrode. Which may also mean the production time will be shorter because maximum electrical potential is applied all around, rather than to just the part of the electrodes that are facing each other. If nothing else, I think the electrode wear would be more even. Taking this on a tangent, what if the tube electrode was placed on the outside of the production vessel and a diode was placed in series with the center electrode? As the voltage applied to the tube is raised,there would be more of an electrical imbalance and electricity would flow out of the silver electrode to try and compensate. When the voltage is stabilized at some given voltage, the current stops. Raise the voltage a bit more, you get a bit more current and a bit more CS. So long as the voltage is on, we have CS. Turn the voltage off and the silver particles will make a mad dash for the electrode form where'st they came. That is why the diode is in series with the electrode. It allows the current to go to the silver electrode but does not allow it to come back. So, we can turn off the generator and remove the lid to find a batch of CS that is *REALLY* charged. Actually, it may be overly charged. It may want to do it's thing the first chance it gets.(Like a sailor on shore leave) If it works, it will not be based on the electrical conductivity of the water so much as the electrical field between the electrodes. One point being that for a given set of circumstances: electrode size,vessel size,etc., a given voltage probably will produce a given amount of CS. If we want higher PPM, we finish at a higher voltage. So maybe we will be able to say that X volts = x PPM. AHH, don'tcha just love theory! I definitely am going to play with this one. That's it for now. Seize the Day!

Re: CSRe: svortex question
Katarina Wittich wrote: Hi David, thanks so much for the info. My big question is how do you know if it's working - or working right??? Is there any way to test? Hello Katarina and fellow Listmates! Katarina, do you have any more BIG questions? Geesh. So far as I have found, there are 4 things that change when water is structured: Increased ultraviolet absorption Change in surface tension Change in dielectric constant Change in PH There are things germinating behind these beady eyes. (Grandma didn't like to waste anything and told me whenever I found empty space that I should put in some potting soil and plant something.) UV Absorption: I think it was Marshall Dudley who mentioned that he had experienced different patterns in water(using a spectro- photometer) that had been exposed to magnets, crystals,healing hands, etc. I am like everybody else, just when I need to analyze UV absorption, my Bat Spectrophotometer is in my Bat Utility Belt (BUB.) which is still at the cleaners.( Mom always said that when it comes to BUBs., cleanliness is next to Godliness.) There must be some way to correlate the UV absorption patterns with something easier for the folks at home to use. Sound absorption? Other ranges of electromagnetic energy absorption? Better tales of woe absorption? (becomes a better listener?) Ok, so part of the potted plant is working on that approach. Surface Tension: I thought Gee, maybe it could be as simple as having a piece of ceramic tile that could be acquired at almost any home improvement center (so it would be standardized) I was thinking that a water proof grid of lines could be applied so that we could put a drop of before water on the tile grid and see how many lines it spreads out after some standardized time. Then a drop of the after water to see how many more lines or less lines it spreads out. The difference could be an indication of degree of structure. However, at one site I visited, the experimenter had a brief blurb about putting cups of water on the magnets. He said that he had heard somewhere that the surface tension changes only about 2% and with one pole (I forget which) it goes up and with the other, it goes down. If that is close to true, then I suspect it is going to be difficult to see a 2% difference in how much the water spreads out. Dielectric Constant: For a given size and shape of a substance, the electrical capacity of that substance is apparently determined mostly by the dielectric constant. So,if we make a test cell (small plastic box, a vial, etc.) with flat electrodes on the outside (perhaps foil on the flat sides of the box) we have a capacitor. If we use that capacitor to to help tune an oscillator (555?), then as different liquids are put into the cell, their differing dielectric constants will be expressed as differing capacitances. That, in turn, would change the oscillator frequency accordingly. Now, the bottom line is that the less the dielectric constant changes,the more sensitive the apparatus has to be. The potted plant is working on that too. PH: This could be the easiest and simplest method. It seems to me that it depends on 2 things: How much the PH changes and where do we have to go to get a PH kit that is sensitive enough (not to mention how much?) If Murphy isn't involved this time, the better PH kits used for swimming pools or fish tanks might work. At least that is easy to check out. Alas, it will be two weeks before I have the funds to get rolling on this stuff, but then, the ol' potted plant will have grown two weeks wiser! Sorry for the long post, but I thought it best to take it in one chunk. Well, time to go water the plants.

Re: CSI found the spec sheet on the LM-317.
Hi Kent and Listmates, As I see it, the voltage regulator is still regulating the voltage but instead of monitoring the final output voltage to keep THAT constant, it is monitoring the voltage drop across the series resistor to keep the voltage drop constant. Current = voltage / resistance, so if the resistor doesn't and the voltage drop doesn't change, the current doesn't change. At least, if that is not how it works, it ought to work that way.

Max dosage is; under 5yrs none in 24 hrs 5 to 60 yrs, max of eight doses over 60 yrs, max of 4 doses The pH of ECF (extra cellular fluid) ranges between 7.35 and 7.45 in the healthy body. Acute pH changes due to acid or alkali loads or deficits (over eating) are immediately dampened by interaction with extracellular and intercellular buffer systems. Respiratory compensation (CO2 changes) further diminish pH aberrations. Ultimately, the kidneys maintain pH homeostasis by excretion or retention of hydrogen ions and regeneration of lost buffers. The bicarbonate buffer system (HCO3-), one of several body buffers, is of singular importance. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation explains the ratio of CO2 and HCO3-. At a pH of 7.4, the ratio is 20:1. Their ratio, rather than their concentrations, determines blood pH. The physiologic importance of this buffer system derives from the fact that two mechanisms (renal and respiratory) exist for adjusting the ratio of this major ECF buffer pair and thus the pH of the ECF. The CO2 is modified rapidly by the lungs and the HCO3- is controlled by the kidneys. Renal regulation of the HCO3- concentration of ECF is accomplished in several ways. Hydrogen (H) ion may be secreted into the renal tubular lumen in exchange for Na; for each H ion secreted, an HCO3- ion is added to the ECF. Thus net reabsorption of filtered HCO3- occurs. Since the pH of the fluid leaving the proximal tubule is about 6.5, most filtered HCO3- is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. In the distal tubule, H ion secretion, which is partially dependent upon aldosterone-mediated Na reabsorption, can lower the pH to as low as 4.5 to 5. Throughout the nephron, secreted H ion is buffered by urinary buffers such as PO4 (titratable acid) and ammonia. In this manner, filtered HCO3- operationally is reabsorbed, and also new HCO3- can be generated to replace that lost in body buffer reactions. As stated above we want the bicarbonate part since it yields the HCO3- ion, which is amphiprotic in character. This is done by hydrolysis and ionization. The hydrolysis tends to go on to a greater extent than the ionization, so that aqueous solutions of the bicarbonates of the alkali metals (sodium) are slightly alkaline. This fact accounts for the common use of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to relieve stomach acidity. Have never tried putting baking soda in the CS. Never had any reason to do so. Would not put it in the water while making CS.
