Good question, Nina! I'm sure for a lot of folks it's just the way 
they learned and they don't know why, for sure.

Using a consistent spacing and allignment allows for more repeatable
results and keeping the electrodes away from the glass prevents 
silver plating out on those surfaces. Of course, if it plates out on 
the glass, it's not in the CS, plus having a lot of stray metal 
around may effect the electric field and flow of current in the cell.

There's probably not anything wrong with what you're doing, and if 
your CS works you *know* that.

Be well,

Dear Christy, It is the sci.med.diseases.lyme group. Only one I know of.
 My homemade CS is about 18 PPM, and I still use it all the time.
I recently went deaf in one ear for about 2 weeks, I found out it was fluid
buildup from allergies. No wonder my CS didn`t affect it! Neither did the
doc`s abx, it was the nasal spray with prednisone in it that worked!
It is OK again, thank Goodness, boy was it a nasty feeling.
 I`m sorry I know of no docs in St. Louis, but that is where I get my silver
from!
Have a super day, today!
Marsha

No one has yet answered WHY it is necessary to prevent the electrodes from
touching the sides or the bottom. To reiterate, My electrodes touch the
sides of the pyrex glass container in which I make my CS, and the silver
comes out just fine.

Nina:

The only reason I can think of to avoid having the electrodes touch the sides 
of the container in that you are inadvertantly increasing the current 
density. If the current density gets too high your CS brew will suffer in 
quality. Whether or not CS quality suffers in actuality depends on the setup 
you are using. In your cas there appears to be no problem, but that doesn't 
mean that everyone will be so fortunate.

Re: CS>Dysbiosis and CS?

I am not seeing much results really. I am on the
probiotics about 3-4 weeks now, but I know it
takes time and I have a LOT wrong. Plus I have
had some stress lately which doesn't help...but I
am sure the probiotics will help. Eat right for
your blood type diet is very important too I
believe. I was a vegetarian for 14 years and am
lacking protein and amino acids, as well as we
now suspect a possible celisc disease too thanks
to some helpful people on this list. ;0) I am O
for those familiar with the diet...grains are not
my friend! :0( DARN! hehe

I think I will stick with the Olive leaf for my
lyme though, I have read great things about it as
I feel it is more safe and works better for "me"
in my oppinion. Not to mention I think it is
causing a die off of things..I assume the bad
bacteria can cause detox symptoms right? As well
as the lyme I'd think! But maybe occassionally I
will take a few sips of CS held in my mouth
though and see if it helps.. but I am wary to do
that right now since I don't think it helped me
as much as I had hoped since my problems are
deeper than lyme disease.

Thanks!

 There is, or should be no effect from electrodes touching the bottom of the
container as long as
 the container is glass or plastic and is non-conductive. With your pyrex
container, it is totally
 a non-issue!

if vitamin E is not present"  If it's on the internet can you

you're looking for.

hi marsha, 

I am new here but am learning alot since I started doing my own research
on the medline.  At first I got no hits (articles).  Then I changed my
tactics.  I used silver and nutrition and came up with 95 articles.
Several are not available in abstract form but are there at the
universities and can be ordered.  I found out that silver can poison the
liver and kidneys if vitamin E is not present.  Practical stuff like
that as well as Copper blocks some of those toxic effects and is also
better than silver as an anti plaque medication and had the added
benefit of being an essential nutrient.  I am still trying to find out
if and how much silver is recognized as an essential micronutrient.  Can
anyone here answer that?  Also if silver can be "classified" as a
nutrient then the NIH (national institutes of health) can award a grant
for research studies on its value for treating various conditions.  If
some of the side benefits turn out to be antiviral, antibacterial as
well then thats another issue and I believe falls under a different
category, BUT a few emails should find out.   I'll let you guys now.
Please take glutathione peroxidase in a few substances like schizandra
berries, beets and others but the point is that the body can synthesize
it from glutathione and selenium.  The body has a genetic functionality
which requires selenium as part of its antioxidant defense mechanisms.
Vitamine E is just one such antioxidant.  The better one of late is
alpha lipoic acid (potatoes and others) which is involved with the Krebs
energy cycle of the cell.  It keeps the other antioxidants in a ready
state to do their job.  Now, if anyone wants to pursue this line of
reasoning please contact me as I have contact with the NIH.  It is a sad
day people give up hopes.  I am glad that this is working for you.  What
concentration do you use?  I have a friend that will be very
interested...

Hi Nina;

For short time brewing no problem with the electrodes touching the bottom.

For long time brew that can be another story, As I have had sliver bridging
across plastic spacers, znd forming a conductive path that screwed up my current
raedings.

You might get by with it many times but it will bite you when you are not aware
of it. The conductive path might not even be very visible to conduct current so
why tempt fate???

CS>"Innoculating" Ourselves with CS

2000-06-04 Thread ROGALTMAN
Silver list:

I'm hoping that list subscribers could give me some feed-back with regard to 
determining the best CS dosage for someone who is already sick and is about 
to begin taking CS.

Most of the time the body's immune system is in a sort of equilibrium with 
various types of pathogens. Since we are constantly bombarded by one type of 
microbe or another, we are never really free of them. Instead, the body has 
to maintain a never-ending defense to keep any of them from multiplying 
significantly. 

When we do get sick, the equilibrium between our immune system and the 
disease-causing pathogen may be only somewhat tipped in favor of the pathogen 
so that it can multiply. Now the question is how much CS should we take to 
fight off the disease?

If we were to take mega-doses of CS these's a reasonable chance that we may 
regain our health as quickly as possible. However, there may be a rational to 
take JUST ENOUGH CS to tip the scales in our favor so that our immune system 
can respond almost naturally. If we were to follow this practice, wouldn't 
the body have a better chance to develop its own antibodies that will provide 
a long term defense against this particular illness? Taking CS in this 
manner, would emulate how innoculations are supposed to work.

Any thoughts?

Thank you, Mike, for answering Nina's (and I had the same question)  about 
the silver "plating out" by touching the bottom and sides.  So in other 
words, you are saying that the silver which does end up "plating out' could 
be more useful ending up in the solution, instead of settling at the bottom?  
Makes sense.

Re: CS>Silver Electrodes touching sides/bottom

2000-06-04 Thread Ted Windsor
I use a vision ware pot and the electrodes touch the bottom, I have used this 
same
pot for the past four years, the meter I use for testing PPM shows between 4 to 
6
PPM each time, so I cannot agree with the following statement.

Hi Mary,

Please let us know which list you think is better in terms of 
infotreatment info

 I also just signed up on Lyme-Aid.  I would sign up on both but I can barley 
handle all the lists I am on now.  If you have a chance and its not too much 
trouble could you ask on the sci.med one if they know of any lyme literate 
docs in St. Louis, MO or nearby?  Recently, I got postiive lyme tests.

thanks,

CS>OT lymeliteratedocSt.Louis?Disabilityetc.

2000-06-04 Thread Ritz3131
Hi to the lyme people.  I am forwarding this email to fill you in on my 
situation.Some forms of mycoplamsa do not cause serious problems but 
Mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus strain) is the strain that Dr. Lo of the 
Armed Forces has the United States patent on which states when it was 
injected into monkeys they died in 7 to 9 months.  It is being found in 1/2 
of the sick Gulf War vets and a smaller percentage I believe of CFS and Fibro 
people.  It can cause many of the same symptoms as lyme.  That's why I 
thought the odds were against me having both.  It is air borne according to 
Dr. Garth Nicolson (www.immed.org) and also spread through saliva, sex, and I 
believe sweat.  Is the lyme contagious also and if so how is it transmitted?

Also, is headaches on the top of the head espeically in warm environments 
known to be a symptom of lyme?

Also, I am doing my own alternative therapy but I guess it may be good for me 
to have a doc who is lyme literate if there are any in my area.  Do you know 
of any in St. Louis, MO or nearby?

Also, is it hard for lyme people to get disability?

Thanks,

Christy

Hi guys!  Yes, I do think the dna helper is on to something and   I do 
appreciate all the work the DNA helper is doing.  I was going over an email 
post to the list from the helper from about March with some numbers for 
Borrelia Burgdorfi (it's down stairs) the other day and noticed that a bunch 
of the numbers (or very close numbers) are also listed on the Dan Tracy/Jim 
Bare list I printed off of Turf's site and/or on a list that Don Tunney's 
assistant sent me of freqs used for Lyme that they found some of their CFS 
volunteers where having hits with.  Anyway, I found that quite 
interesting...smile!!!  Also, I have been having hits with those numbers from 
the email that I have done...mostly strong tostrong underlined.

A couple weeks ago I took a week (or 6 days) off of all supplements and 
rifing (I felt worse during that time...starting a few days after stopping 
the stuff).  Anyway, I then had my blood shipped to Dr. Lidda Mattmann 
(spelling??) in  Michigan and a lab in Floridia...Bowen Research and Training 
Institute and I got all my results in now.  They both tested for Borrelia 
Borgdorfi and said I was positive.  Mattman does a blood culture from your 
blood and sends pictures of the spirochetes.  The other lab did rapid 
fluorescent antibody technique for Borrelia.  Bowen also said peripheral 
blood smear suggests:
Human Granulocytic Erhlichia (HGE) and Babesia...confirmation of indicated.  
Well, I am sick of paying for and getting blood drawn and sent to labs etc. 
so i will just assume I may have those so if you have any freqs for those let 
me know.  I really don't know a whole lot about these labs or tests but a few 
weeks  or so ago I started wondering if I could have lyme in addition to the 
Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus.  In the past I have talked to like Dan 
tracy for instance and he went through like a list of 30 symptoms with me 
asking me if I had them and I kept saying yes, yes, yes, etc. and he kept 
saying you have Lyme and I kept saying but you don't understand I have 
Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus and it can cause about all the same symtpoms 
and the whole illness started with a bad case of mycoplasma pneumonia so it 
makes sense that since I developed chronic symptoms the whole thing was 
caused by the Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus which can cause systemic and 
chronic illness.  He just kept saying I had Lyme but it never occured to me I 
could be unlucky enough to have both.  But, one thing I do remember is ever 
since like around maybe 5th or 6th grade or so I would get real bad headaches 
if out in the sun and heat for hours.  And, this lady said she thought that 
could be from the lyme.  Anyway I prayed to God to send me a sign or help me 
know if I had lyme.  Well, the next day or so I had a dream in which I was at 
like a dance and I was wearing a bright lyme green real fancy dress and so 
was another lady in the dream.  Then when I woke up I thought boy was that 
weird nobody wears that color...that lyme green, anymore...how weird...nobody 
has worn anything like that for years since like the 80's.  But, at the time 
that's all I thought about it...didn't get the lyme as in borrelia yet at 
that point.  Then that night my dad was watching Lawrence Welk and I was 
watching it...ugghh!!...LOL!!! while eating dinner and out comes this woman 
in a real fancy dress that was bright lyme green.  Then comes out another 
woman in a another fancy lyme green dresssame color but different style 
(as in my dream) and then I think the  third lady came out like that also but 
again different style...same color.  And, I thought boy that's weird and 
mentioned my dream to my dad.  And, ht Lawrence Welk show looked like it was 
made in like the 80's (early I guess) by the hair styles/feathered hair, etc. 
and of course

Good Evening Roger;

Just queery about HVAC  cs. I made some using the arc method and had a 17.6 ppm
and a conductance of 1125  in 3 hours!
The pH is about 4, and when I sniffed the containor is smelled like nitric acid.
I covered the container with a white paper
table napkin and in about 3 hours the portion over the CS had taken on a light
brown color. The CS is crystal clear with a very weak T.E.

What do I have???

Re: CS>PPM

2000-06-04 Thread Ivan Anderson
Hi folks,

The difference in uS reading to ppm that various folks have noted is why
I did not mention a correlation factor, but advised that one should have
their product tested to provide a relationship for their particular
output.

The discrepancies in conductivity vs. concentration reflect the
condition of the colloid, it would seem (particle size, charge, etc.).

The colloid as produced by my little generators show a 1 : 1
relationship uS : ppm, which agrees with Trems results.

Ivan.

Re: CS>"Innoculating" Ourselves with CS

2000-06-04 Thread Ivan Anderson
Hello Roger,

As silver disables pathogens rather than destroying them, ie prevents
their reproduction or ability process energy, the immune system
(antibodies et al) is still required to latch onto and break the
pathogenic cells apart and eliminate them.

As I see it, silver stops or slows the proliferation of infectious
agents (the cells of which may divide every 20mins) and allows the
immune system to catch up to and clear the infection in a shorter time
frame than otherwise would have occurred.

Far better to be healthy and to have an efficient immune system, than to
rely on silver to 'protect' you IMO, and only use silver when required.

Ivan.

Re: CS> HVAC

2000-06-04 Thread Ivan Anderson
Hi there Bob,

If one strikes an arc in moist air (as found above a body of water),
ozone and nitric acid are formed. If you use silver electrodes the
silver will be sputtered as silver ions and silver oxide. The ozone will
most likely become H2O2 where it reacts with water, nitric acid will
dissolve into the water and these plus the silver and silver oxide will
all add to the conductivity reading, I should think.

So based on your reasoning, taking large doses on CS (only at the onset of 
illness) would be a better strategy than just trying to take the minimum 
amount of CS under the same conditions since the body's own immune system is 
needed for the final elimination of these microbes.

<< Hi there Bob,

Ivan:

You said,
 
 "If one strikes an arc in moist air (as found above a body of water),
 ozone and nitric acid are formed."

During sputtering I smell virtually no ozone. I am interested in your idea 
about nitric acid though. I may submit a sample for analysis. But before I 
do, I'd like you to tell me the difference in taste between my HVAC CS with a 
pH of 4 or so, and a sample of laboratory grade nitric acid made to pH ~4. If 
you agree to a taste test, I'll submit my HVAC CS for nitric acid analysis. 

Then you said,

"If you use silver electrodes the silver will be sputtered as silver ions and 
silver oxide."

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree here as well. It can be demonstrated quite 
easily that silver oxide is unstable at sputtering temperatures. As far a 
producing silver ions in the arc goes, I have not run across any evidence 
that an electropotential that is barely high enough to ionize air, is 
anywhere near the electropotential required to ionize silver. If you have 
some data that confirms the production of silver ions at ~10,000 volts please 
pass it along. 

And finally you said,

 "The ozone will most likely become H2O2 where it reacts with water,..."

Oh boy, I know I'm on thin ice now, but I'm not likely to agree with you here 
as well. I sampled a very small amount of 3% H2O2 in my mouth a few weeks 
ago. A very ugly experience. Again, my HVAC CS tastes a lot like water. So 
how much H2O2 could I have made, particularly when I never smelled any ozone 
in the first place?

CS>Introducing Myself--Lisa Henderson

2000-06-04 Thread Lisa Henderson

Hello to Everyone on the Silver List,

I'm new to the list, but I've been reading the archives and all the
recent links posted by many of you for the last few weeks. What a great
group of folks! You've brought up many of my questions as a new
experimenter and made me really think about the nature of health and
disease. My background is in psychology and economics (BA) and business
(MBA) but I've always been interested in the hard sciences. I like
hands-on projects, and like to prove things for myself, so here I am!

I'm thrilled to say that I'm at this moment creating my FIRST batch of CS
using a basic 27-volt set up I've seen recommended here. I had a fun time
today at Radio Shack. :) I nearly whooped when my little 40mA bulb
actually lit up when I touched my two alligator clips together! I'm really
excited about testing different strengths of my CS on plates of
gelatin/sugar/cornstarch. I intend to send out some samples and will keep 
close tabs on timing and procedures so I'll be able to know what PPM I'm
probably making. I'm much more comfortable with statistical analyses than
with electonics, but I like to stretch my horizons.

Thankfully, I don't have any major health concerns at the moment, but my
ancient dog is on a second antibiotic to try to get rid of a urinary tract
infection. I hope silver will be helpful to him. I have a toddler who is
amazingly healthy and I want to keep him that way. My husband is a natural
skeptic, so I'll need to prove the value of this concoction to him with
our own experiences. I've studied homeopathy in depth, but I prefer simple
solutions to problems.  I've recently discovered Reiki healing, but
haven't been able to demonstrate its effectiveness yet, but it's nice to
do. I'm not really religious, but I recently discovered scientific studies
that demonstrate the efficacy of prayer, so I'm all for that too. (Please
see my .sig for a great site that links to the article.) I guess that my
natural inclination to be pro-active in regards to my health has led me to
this list. I look forward to contributing my own insights once I gain
some!

I've been curious as to what sorts of bottles most of you use to store
your CS? I hit on the idea of using corked amber beer bottles and have
been patting myself on the back all week. Anyone know of reactions of CS
to corks? I've also prepared a nice amber rum bottle and a wine bottle! 
I finally found out the reason that people say not to refrigerate CS. It's
the electric field of the fridge itself that may interfere with the charge
of the colloid. Any comments/additions? :) Thanks in advance!

I'm so glad to have found you all and I'm sure I'll be writing again soon
with a technical question or two for the gurus of the group. I've followed
the URLS you have in your .sigs and am pleased with finding so much
interesting information on this amazing substance. I was a bit confused

CS>Find that MSDS

2000-06-04 Thread Brad Kirby
Has any one on this list found a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) on CS
. You can not have employees or transport any material without one. I
think it is very strange for the EPA to have any numbers on CS. In my
dealing with the EPA.  They did not care how many dead humans you had,
just as long as the environment was not polluted. OSHA on the other hand
did not care what you buried in the back yard, just as long as no
employees where exposed to any thing that the employees didn't know the
risks for. OSHA should be the agency that has the pertinent information,
but so far I can not find it. Dos anyone have any feed back.

Re: CS>"Innoculating" Ourselves with CS

2000-06-04 Thread Ivan Anderson
Well, to be clear Roger, this is my view :

1.The best protection from pathogens and toxins is a healthy immune
system.

2. Silver is not an immune system booster but rather an adjunct to it.

3. Silver works by disabling pathogens so that they may not proliferate,
thus lessening the work required by the immune system to clear the
infection.

4. The metallothioneins which the body uses to chelate and eliminate
toxic metals are used to eliminate silver also. If high doses of silver
are present these proteins may not be able to eliminate toxic metals as
readily, and if overwhelmed, may result in the deposition of silver in
the tissue.

5. I would use silver in fairly large doses at the onset and throughout
the course of an infection, split into many small doses during the day,
and discontinue silver use once the infection has passed.

6. I would use silver as a preventative before eating suspect food,
close contact with infectious persons etc., and as a disinfective in the
kitchen (notably inside the refrigerator) and bathroom.

Regards,
Ivan.

Dear Christy, It means so many parts of silver per parts of distilled water;
18 PPM is 18 parts of silver to a million parts of water.
5 PPM in my opinion isn`t enough. You have to have enough to go all over the

RE: CS>PPM, Lyme

2000-06-04 Thread Robert Ratliff
1 ppm should be enough. If you drink 18 times as much of 1 ppm then you have
ingested the equivalent of 18 ppm.
Every talks as if ppm is the key. Amount and ppm should always be stated
together to convey any meaningful information.
The doctor always tells me how many pills per day when he proscribes meds.
Of course he knows the meds. strength.
Strength plus amount = recommended dosage per day.

Hi to all... I just subscribed to this list because I found colloidal silver
(again).  A few years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, after spending
3 years being misdiagnosed and almost crippled.  After finally receiving
antibiotic therapy and my body not tolerating such after a couple of years,
I turned to alternative medicine.  Several homeopaths and nutritionists had
told me about colloidal silver, so I began to do my own investigation on the
limited literature available at the time.

I found that it really helped me alot and after about a year, I fell off the
wagon (so to speak) because I was feeling pretty good.  About 8 months ago,
I started slipping again into a stupor, double vision, trouble with speech
and gait and once again started on the travails to find out what was wrong.

It again is a question mark between MS and CNS Lyme Disease.. I guess my
question right now is, if it is MS, will taking the Colloidal Silver hurt me
in any way.  Does anyone know anything about this?

Thank you and good health to all of you,

I'm not familiar with symptoms of Lyme disease. Are these a part of the
symptoms?

I don't think it will hurt you and it could help. There are many who
take CS who also have Lyme Disease. I'd like to ask if in the past or
even now have you ingested aspartame/Nutrasweet? We recently had a
discussion about MS symptoms and aspartame. 

I'm sorry you didn't get answers to your questions. I'm glad you are
here anyway because someone may have experienced similar problems as you
have and may be able to be of help to you.

The fact that you have generated an arc necessarily means that you have
ionised the air. This can be achieved by as little as 50 V. By ionising
air you are creating ozone. Whether you can smell it or not is not a
reliable guage of its production or concentration.
It is a fact that the biggest problem that faces ozone generators using
undried atmospheric air is the production of nitric acid.
I have no desire to experience the taste of dilute nitric acid :-b
Whether you test for nitric acid is up to you.

The 1st ionization potential of silver (7.576 eV) is less than that of
oxygen (13.618 eV).
Yes, silver oxide is unstable at >150 degC, but the silver oxide which
contacts the water is from then on stable. Furthermore, "The pH of
silver colloids should fall between 6.5 and 8 because increasing amounts
of silver oxide will appear as the pH of the solution falls below 6.5
and silver oxide is a less effective bactericide than pure silver." (The
Silver Institute).

I don't know Roger. I answered Bob's question about what might be
causing such a high conductivity reading with a comparatively low silver
content. Something is also causing the low pH (assuming he started with
~pH7 water), I suggest that H2O2 and nitric acid may be contributing
factors.

BTW, I regularly use 3% H2O2 to clean my teeth ;-)

Re: CS>Silver Electrodes touching sides/bottom

2000-06-04 Thread Trem

Hi List,

There can be a downside to letting electrodes touch the glass.  It can 
plate out onto the glass and the next time you use the vessel, the plating 
can allow some of the current to flow from the electrodes to the plated 
portions which will then provide a current path and that will reduce the 
current flow between the electrodes.  The result is you won't get as strong 
CS as you had thought.  Best to clean the plating off the glass before 
using the vessel again or use a new one every once in a while.


You can clean the plating off your vessel with 3% hydrogen peroxide.

 There is, or should be no effect from electrodes touching the bottom of the

 the container is glass or plastic and is non-conductive. With your pyrex

Re: CS>Silver Electrodes touching sides/bottom

2000-06-04 Thread Trem

Hi Ted,

Well what I actually meant to say was it could plate out on the sides of 
the vessel if the electrodes lay against the glass or are near it.  It has 
sometimes caused me a bit of confusion when the CS wasn't as strong as I 
had thought it should be.  I really don't know about the conductivity of 
the stuff that falls to the bottom of the vessel.  Our electrodes are an 
inch or so off the bottom so plating doesn't occur there very often.  It is 
mostly on the sides and for sure that can influence current flow.


As far as the vessel you're using, it might be that no plating occurs 
because of its smoothness or something I'm not aware of.  But it will 
definitely plate onto glass.  I have seen it many times.  Usually under 
long process times.
