Wow!!  I've been in electronics for 50 years and hadn't heard of these

Now all we have to do is come up with a device that will shut off the

I'm with you, Diane, I mostly stay away from the

Vicodin for kidney stones along with Chinese 
herbs and acupuncturekept me out of the

Not sure about pets, but allergies in people generally 
mean depleted adrenals.  Babies can even be born 
with depleted adrenals if the mother is depleted and 
has been 'sucking the fetus' dry in the third trimester.  
This all lowers immunity, and, CS is going to help kill 
what the immune system would normally have to 
deal with, so you're right it, it could only help.
Maybe you'd like to pass this alt-treatment for 
allergies to your friend...not sure it is available 
near her. Hopefully, she'll get back with the CS
and will pressure her vet for answers!

he was allergic to a certain brand of food and the CS had nothing to do

Subject: CSSimple Current Limiting CS Generator



 Fellow CS brewers,

 Not well known is the fact that for about $5 you can easily convert your
 constant voltage CS generator (e.g. a three nine-volt battery setup) to
one
 that limits the current to assure small particle production and prevent
 current run-away.  Thus your unit would then function the same as the
 better constant current commercial units.  I will try to describe this
in
 non-technical terms so many can take advantage of this.

 There is a device called a silicon FET current regulator diode that does
the
 trick.  This is really a small integrated circuit, shaped like a small
 rectifier diode, that limits current flow to a set value.  The regulator
 diodes are small cylinders with about a 1 inch wire coming out of each end
 of the cylinder.  One end of the cylinder is marked with a band around it.

 The part numbers are the series 1N5283 through 1N5314, with the current
 limits in the range of 0.22 ma thru 4.7 ma, respectively.  Probably the
one
 of most interest to us is the 1N5297 that limits the current to 1.0 ma.
One
 manufacturer is Central Semiconductor Corp.  Go to www.centralsemi.com and
 search for 1N5297 if you want to see the specifications and a drawing of
the
 device.

 Using them is super simple.  For example, for a three nine-volt battery
 system, just cut the wire between the minus terminal of the battery and
the
 silver electrode.  Connect the wire from the battery minus-terminal to the
 banded regulator diode wire.  Connect the wire from the silver electrode
 to the other non-banded regulator diode wire.  One can use 2 small wire
 nuts, available at any hardware store, to make the connections, alligator
 clips, or solder and tape them.  Congratulations - you now have a
 sophisticated constant current CS generator!

 When brewing a new batch, the current will start out very small as
before --
 a few microamps--depending on water purity.  As silver production
proceeds,
 the current will rise until it reaches the value set into the regulator
 diode.  Then it will stay constant (e.g. at 1.0 ma for a 1N5297) for the
 remainder of the brew time.  It is impossible for the current to run
away
 and increase beyond the set point, even if the electrodes accidently
short
 together.

 These regulator diodes are rated to a maximum of 100 volts.  That means
one
 could use a higher starting voltage (e.g. 54 volts from six nine-volt
 batteries) and reduce the brew time (it will take less time for the
current
 to reach 1.0 ma).  Again, the higher voltage is perfectly safe as the
 current cannot run away because of the current limiting effect of the
 regulator diode.

 These devices are not widely used so they are not available from many
 sources such as Radio Shack.  One source that sells them is Mouser
 Electronics.  Go to www.mouser.com and search for the part # 1N5297 and
you
 will see the information.  When I checked recently, they had about 1,500
of
 them in stock for a price of $4.29 each.  I suppose they have a minimum
 order, so it would be a good idea for someone to volunteer to order a
batch
 of them for those that express an interest in a group buy.  (I don't have
 time to do this - sorry).

 I believe the use of a 1N5297 along with a few nine-volt batteries is by
far
 simplest, goof-proof way to make a constant current CS generator.  If you
 give it a try, please let us know how your results.

Re: CSRe:Making your own brew.............. help!!!!!!!!!!

2002-12-29 Thread Ode Coyote

 Ionic content and particulate content don't necessarily have a fixed
relationship. Color and particle size does.
 As you make CS stronger the 'dissolved ions in solution' start crowding
the saturation point of the water which is temperature dependant for the
most part [with a few other crazy hard to nail down details like the
effects of hydration thrown in].
 Some say the saturation point of room temperature water is around 10 to 13
PPM. So, somewhere around in there you should start to get a noticeable TE.

 At some point silver crystals start to form [particles in suspension].
 So, the stronger you make the CS, the more particles will form...but the
more likely they will clump together and make larger particles of color.
 The trick is to make a lot of small colorless particles as opposed to
fewer big yellow, violet or red ones that reflect more light per particle.
   It's sort of like making rock candy except the goal is to make candy for
very very small people. [Trick or treat, you little microbes!]

 What is the maximum saturation point of water before ALL silver beyond
that forms particles?  I dunno. I've go up to 50 PPM as measured by a meter
[which ONLY registers ionic content] with a very heavy and fine TE that
might indicate a total of 80 to 100 PPM...and still stable with no color.
[the stronger you make it, the more sensitive to contamination it is.  Just
one little smattering of spit or whatever..and/ or a fast temperature
shift.. can make it go through colors like a rainbow]
 I've also made black CS at 30 PPM and yellow at 10.
 I've made yellow CS with a light TE and clear CS with a heavy TE.

Every now and then, someone with the very best setup just can't make CS at
20 PPM that stays colorless.  Why?..when with the same setup, I can't make
colored CS at a higher PPM?
 Usually it's the water , something local, but it could include other
factors like electromagnetic fields, the Northern Lights, sunspots, phase
of the moon.  Who knows!!??

So, bottom line is that particle size and TE are not directly related
except that large particles reflect more light in a visible range and can
make a TE appear to be heavier regardless of what color the CS is. The
light reflections may have a somewhat grainy appearance in laser light too.
[heavy course TE vs heavy fine TE] If you have a heavy fine TE in a batch
of no color, you have a very strong brew that might be up to twice the
actual content that a meter will read. If it's heavy course TE...it will be
a bit less strong total PPM wise.

Generally speaking as per Trems lab tests, CS at a meter reading of 20 PPM
will be 80% ionic, so, the fudge factor is meter reading times 1.2 to
include the particulate content that a meter won't read but shows up as TE.
 It follows that if the PPM meter reading is lower and the TE less
pronounced, the meter reading will be closer to actual silver content.
 In other words, the more pronounced and finer the TE, the higher the fudge
factor.
 Unfortunately, there's no way that I know of to quantify TE other than
forming a visual opinion based on, Gee, that looks strong and fine...or
medium and fine..or heavy and course etc.
 How heavy, how fine, is a matter of personal comparisons with no way to
place numbers on the visual observations.
..and then there's murky [There's another word commonly used here to
denote murky, but I forgot what it is]

 The upside is that no matter what the brew looks like, there's still going
to be some percentage of ions and small particles that do the best job of
entering [and leaving] cellular structures and penetrating memberbrains.
[oops, that's membranes]
 There is some speculation that larger particles have some advantage in
some instances but by and large [or hello and small?] it's generally agreed
that smallest is bestest.
 It's also considered that ions have a fairly short life in the blood
stream...about 7 minutes? [there's a lot of salt in there] and particles
are very chemically stable and long lived...and smallest is also most
easily eliminated. [and has the most surface area, so, is the most powerful
in effect]
 Of course, if it was too big to get in...it doesn't have to get out. So,
chunks, sparklies and oxides are considered to be harmless because they
just pass through. [Probably don't want to inject them though]
 It is a known thing [by someone other than me] just how big a particle can
pass through what membrains...membranes...
 My assumption is that anything smaller than a virus can go anywhere.
Since autopsies have found silver in the brain and nerves, I assume that
the blood brain barrier will not stop a small silver particle or ion. [It
was also found that it took an enormous amount of silver to harm the
nervous system]

 But here's a tidbit that's most interesting.
 It was found that a dose of inhaled silver dust was 94% elimimated through
the bowl within 24 hours in dogs and monkeys.
 Dust is huge particles! ...comparative cannon balls with no way out but
through the blood

CSpost traumatic injuries

2002-12-29 Thread Nicole K
Just wanted to say thanks to whoever posted the info about MSM being good
for post traumatic injury.  
I fell off my scooter while braking slightly to make a turn off a large
metal plate covering the road surface on a very stormy rainy day and
immediately went down.  My scooter landed on my leg and I sustained painful
bruising to my shin and both ankles.  
The shin injury left my leg completely numb for about a week until the
swelling started to decrease at which point it became very painful.  After
reading that MSM is helpful for post traumatic injury I started taking 1000
mg about 3 times a day and it has made a significant difference in the pain
level and rate of healing.
So, thank you, for that information. 
I wanted to ask, as well, about how CS affects the immune system's work. 
Normally, the immune system would be fighting the bugs that CS kills so I
wonder what it does to the immune system's effectiveness if CS is doing it's
work.   Will the immune system still make antibodies and continue doing what
it's supposed to do on its own?  How does CS interact with the immune system
s normal activity?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

very true!

Chinese med., is a wholistic med., and deals with 
the patient as a whole, not the symptom.   
When you read about taking capsicum, it is 
for a symptom.  (It's use for hypertension is by 
dilating the blood vessels) 
The doc sees the person.  You may 
have a Heat condition (Chinese med. term) that would 
make capsicum (very hot) contraindicated for you, the person. 
It is not like Western med. where 'one size' fits all. 
If you want to use capsicum I would suggest making 
a paste/plaster (a little in vaseline)and taping it to your feet 
in the center just below the ball of your footnot too strong...don't 
want to cause blisters!

CSRe: cats with ringworm

2002-12-29 Thread Nicole K
I adopted a little homeless cat years ago that I contracted ringworm from
(in my scalp).  

The first indication I had when I started using CS that it works was that
the ringworm cleared up within about 2 days.  I had to keep my scalp clean
at all times all these years to avoid flareups of the ringworm.  If i didn't
wash my hair at least every two days, the ringworm spots would start to
swell and itch.

Haven't had any trouble since using CS.  

I also give CS to my llittle birds, cockatiel and canary.  They are both
fine - it keeps the parasites and bird bacteria away from them.  The canary
is 15 years old, has cataracts on his eyes, and arthritis in his feet.  Wish
I'd known about CS years ago - could probably have prevented both conditions
  I put some CS into their drinking water - they never get just straight CS
and they never drink all their water but I think they get enough CS to keep
their systems clean.  I don't give it all the time - only intermittently.

Would probably be just fine for your cats - birds are pretty fragile little
critters.  I would try the CS for a few weeks on the kitties to see if it
helps.

 with it and may actually have helped him had she continued to give it to
 him.

Re: CSpost traumatic injuries

2002-12-29 Thread Ode Coyote

  There are some who say that CS stimulates the production of stem cells in
an injured area.
 Experience with ripping off a big chunk of skin, pasting it back on with
CS and keeping the area covered with a piece of paper towel kept wet with
CS till the bleeding stopped leads me to concur.

 Where normally the area would have swelled up and be puss filled and most
would not have reattached, all of the replaced skin turned pink and grew
back in a matter of a few days.  Only the places that the skin wouldn't
stretch to cover developed a scab and took a while to grow back.
 No sign of it now.
 I did the same thing last year but the skin would still cover the hole.
In 2 days, it was a thin pink line around the patch, reattached skin turned
a slightly different shade of pink and so sign of injury in 6 days.

 
 Normally, this would take a few weeks. This Old skin comes off a lot
easier than it used to and grows back slower.
 I would know. I take a few square inches off every year.  I used to just
throw the pieces away because putting them back didn't work.
 If I ever rip off a finger, I'm gonna give it a try. ;-)

  In both cases I was so amazed that I tried to document it with photos.
They didn't turn out.  I guess my hand was too close.

bruising to my shin and both ankles.  
The shin injury left my leg completely numb for about a week until the
swelling started to decrease at which point it became very painful.  After
reading that MSM is helpful for post traumatic injury I started taking 1000
mg about 3 times a day and it has made a significant difference in the pain
level and rate of healing.
So, thank you, for that information. 
I wanted to ask, as well, about how CS affects the immune system's work. 
Normally, the immune system would be fighting the bugs that CS kills so I
wonder what it does to the immune system's effectiveness if CS is doing it's
work.   Will the immune system still make antibodies and continue doing what
it's supposed to do on its own?  How does CS interact with the immune system
s normal activity?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Fellow CS brewers,

Not well known is the fact that for about $5 you can easily convert your
constant voltage CS generator (e.g. a three nine-volt battery setup) to one
that limits the current to assure small particle production and prevent
current run-away.  Thus your unit would then function the same as the
better constant current commercial units.  I will try to describe this in
non-technical terms so many can take advantage of this.

There is a device called a silicon FET current regulator diode that does the
trick.  This is really a small integrated circuit, shaped like a small
rectifier diode, that limits current flow to a set value.  The regulator
diodes are small cylinders with about a 1 inch wire coming out of each end
of the cylinder.  One end of the cylinder is marked with a band around it.

The part numbers are the series 1N5283 through 1N5314, with the current
limits in the range of 0.22 ma thru 4.7 ma, respectively.  Probably the one
of most interest to us is the 1N5297 that limits the current to 1.0 ma.  One
manufacturer is Central Semiconductor Corp.  Go to www.centralsemi.com and
search for 1N5297 if you want to see the specifications and a drawing of the
device.

Using them is super simple.  For example, for a three nine-volt battery
system, just cut the wire between the minus terminal of the battery and the
silver electrode.  Connect the wire from the battery minus-terminal to the
banded regulator diode wire.  Connect the wire from the silver electrode
to the other non-banded regulator diode wire.  One can use 2 small wire
nuts, available at any hardware store, to make the connections, alligator
clips, or solder and tape them.  Congratulations - you now have a
sophisticated constant current CS generator!

When brewing a new batch, the current will start out very small as before --
a few microamps--depending on water purity.  As silver production proceeds,
the current will rise until it reaches the value set into the regulator
diode.  Then it will stay constant (e.g. at 1.0 ma for a 1N5297) for the
remainder of the brew time.  It is impossible for the current to run away
and increase beyond the set point, even if the electrodes accidently short
together.

These regulator diodes are rated to a maximum of 100 volts.  That means one
could use a higher starting voltage (e.g. 54 volts from six nine-volt
batteries) and reduce the brew time (it will take less time for the current
to reach 1.0 ma).  Again, the higher voltage is perfectly safe as the
current cannot run away because of the current limiting effect of the
regulator diode.

These devices are not widely used so they are not available from many
sources such as Radio Shack.  One source that sells them is Mouser
Electronics.  Go to www.mouser.com and search for the part # 1N5297 and you
will see the information.  When I checked recently, they had about 1,500 of
them in stock for a price of $4.29 each.  I suppose they have a minimum
order, so it would be a good idea for someone to volunteer to order a batch
of them for those that express an interest in a group buy.  (I don't have
time to do this - sorry).

I believe the use of a 1N5297 along with a few nine-volt batteries is by far
simplest, goof-proof way to make a constant current CS generator.  If you
give it a try, please let us know how your results.

CSI'm going to ask again...

2002-12-29 Thread June Narber
Hi. I've been on this list for a while. I used to make/take CS everyday.

After my last set of rods stopped making CS, I never got around to
replacing them.
Several colds, flues and sick cats later, I realize I need to make the
time to do this again.
I only have a small, battery, hand help unit. I need to purchase some
wire to make this work. Can someone give me a direct link to a page that
sells what I need and clearly tell me what I'm looking for? Last page I
was directed to had a dozen different kind of silver wire and I don't
know what is best or needed.

Second, does the hand help unit really even do anything? I used to think
it did, but I know all about the placebo influence. A few of you speak
about this unit or that unit you've made or rigged up but I can't find
the lists that had all the details, and besides, I am not mechanically
inclined (I'm into research, teaching, writing in the humanities).
Making a unit, rigging one together from this and that is just out of my
skill set.

Can any one please advise me?

Much thanks,

June N.

The easiest solution for me was to go to a jewelry supply store and ask for 
.999 fine silver bezel. I even told the clerk it was for making CS and he

Ron,

The 1N5295 at 0.82 ma would be a good choice.

Yeah, the LM334Z with a single resistor approach is much cheaper, and the
parts are much more available.  However, I was trying to introduce the
non-techies to a method that was so simple and foolproof (a single
two-terminal device) that they would not feel intimidated with more
complicated approaches.  Also, the LM334Z is only good for about 35 volts
max, so that would limit it to setups with four or less nine-volt batteries
(not a serious limitation.)

Subject: CSSimple Current Limiting CS Generator



 Fellow CS brewers,

 Not well known is the fact that for about $5 you can easily convert your
 constant voltage CS generator (e.g. a three nine-volt battery setup) to
one
 that limits the current to assure small particle production and prevent
 current run-away.  Thus your unit would then function the same as the
 better constant current commercial units.  I will try to describe this
in
 non-technical terms so many can take advantage of this.

 There is a device called a silicon FET current regulator diode that does
the
 trick.  This is really a small integrated circuit, shaped like a small
 rectifier diode, that limits current flow to a set value.  The regulator
 diodes are small cylinders with about a 1 inch wire coming out of each end
 of the cylinder.  One end of the cylinder is marked with a band around it.

 The part numbers are the series 1N5283 through 1N5314, with the current
 limits in the range of 0.22 ma thru 4.7 ma, respectively.  Probably the
one
 of most interest to us is the 1N5297 that limits the current to 1.0 ma.
One
 manufacturer is Central Semiconductor Corp.  Go to www.centralsemi.com and
 search for 1N5297 if you want to see the specifications and a drawing of
the
 device.

 Using them is super simple.  For example, for a three nine-volt battery
 system, just cut the wire between the minus terminal of the battery and
the
 silver electrode.  Connect the wire from the battery minus-terminal to the
 banded regulator diode wire.  Connect the wire from the silver electrode
 to the other non-banded regulator diode wire.  One can use 2 small wire
 nuts, available at any hardware store, to make the connections, alligator
 clips, or solder and tape them.  Congratulations - you now have a
 sophisticated constant current CS generator!

 When brewing a new batch, the current will start out very small as
before --
 a few microamps--depending on water purity.  As silver production
proceeds,
 the current will rise until it reaches the value set into the regulator
 diode.  Then it will stay constant (e.g. at 1.0 ma for a 1N5297) for the
 remainder of the brew time.  It is impossible for the current to run
away
 and increase beyond the set point, even if the electrodes accidently
short
 together.

 These regulator diodes are rated to a maximum of 100 volts.  That means
one
 could use a higher starting voltage (e.g. 54 volts from six nine-volt
 batteries) and reduce the brew time (it will take less time for the
current
 to reach 1.0 ma).  Again, the higher voltage is perfectly safe as the
 current cannot run away because of the current limiting effect of the
 regulator diode.

 These devices are not widely used so they are not available from many
 sources such as Radio Shack.  One source that sells them is Mouser
 Electronics.  Go to www.mouser.com and search for the part # 1N5297 and
you
 will see the information.  When I checked recently, they had about 1,500
of
 them in stock for a price of $4.29 each.  I suppose they have a minimum
 order, so it would be a good idea for someone to volunteer to order a
batch
 of them for those that express an interest in a group buy.  (I don't have
 time to do this - sorry).

 I believe the use of a 1N5297 along with a few nine-volt batteries is by
far
 simplest, goof-proof way to make a constant current CS generator.  If you
 give it a try, please let us know how your results.

Steve, presently I am using a 110 VAC with a DC Bridge. The electronic guy 
that set it up said that the output was 54 VDC. I draw off a very little 
with a small motor hooked up as a stirrer. What do you think about the # 
1N5297 set up with this.


Also how do you know when it has reached the 1.0 ma ?

Ed Kasper, Santa Cruz, Ca.


I'm not Steve, but there are couple of points to consider:

1) My 110VAC system with a full-wave DC bridge rectifier,
capacitive ripple filtering and current limiting puts out
155VDC without connection to any load.

2) The system output voltage drops to 120VDC when initially
connected to distilled water, 7 submerged silver
electrodes and a current limit of 3 milliamps. A current
limit of 1ma (the 1N5297 value) would allow output voltage
to rise to about 145VDC.

3) The specs on the 1N5297 say that the Peak Operating
Voltage (POV) is 100 volts, which would be DC volts for
this case.

If your system really does output 54VDC, using the 1N5297
would be fine. If your system is like mine, and it should
be unless there is some special voltage regulator in the
circuit, using the 1N5297 as a current limiter would
destroy it by exceeding the POV rating of the diode.

Just my 2 cents,

Jimmy Joe

Hi Ken,  thanks for your reply.  What are you doing that rips chunks of skin

There are some who say that CS stimulates the production of stem cells in
an injured area.
Experience with ripping off a big chunk of skin, pasting it back on with
CS and keeping the area covered with a piece of paper towel kept wet with
CS till the bleeding stopped leads me to concur.

Where normally the area would have swelled up and be puss filled and most
would not have reattached, all of the replaced skin turned pink and grew
back in a matter of a few days. Only the places that the skin wouldn't
stretch to cover developed a scab and took a while to grow back.
No sign of it now.
I did the same thing last year but the skin would still cover the hole.
In 2 days, it was a thin pink line around the patch, reattached skin turned
a slightly different shade of pink and so sign of injury in 6 days.


Normally, this would take a few weeks. This Old skin comes off a lot
easier than it used to and grows back slower.
I would know. I take a few square inches off every year. I used to just
throw the pieces away because putting them back didn't work.
If I ever rip off a finger, I'm gonna give it a try. ;-)

In both cases I was so amazed that I tried to document it with photos.
They didn't turn out. I guess my hand was too close.

Just wanted to say thanks to whoever posted the info about MSM being good
for post traumatic injury. 
I fell off my scooter while braking slightly to make a turn off a large
metal plate covering the road surface on a very stormy rainy day and
immediately went down. My scooter landed on my leg and I sustained painful
bruising to my shin and both ankles. 
The shin injury left my leg completely numb for about a week until the
swelling started to decrease at which point it became very painful. After
reading that MSM is helpful for post traumatic injury I started taking 1000
mg about 3 times a day and it has made a significant difference in the pain
level and rate of healing.
So, thank you, for that information. 
I wanted to ask, as well, about how CS affects the immune system's work. 
Normally, the immune system would be fighting the bugs that CS kills so I
wonder what it does to the immune system's effectiveness if CS is doing it
s
work. Will the immune system still make antibodies and continue doing what
it's supposed to do on its own? How does CS interact with the immune system
s normal activity?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Re: CSSimple Current Limiting CS Generator

2002-12-29 Thread AScottSilver
Hi Steve,

I checked out the data sheet but I don't understand it. At the top it says 
the device will dissipate 600 mW. That's good. But there is a parameter 
called Limiting Voltage. It is described as Vl x Il = .8 Ip. and says it is 
1.35 volts for that device (1N5297). I read it as the load voltage time the 
load current (wattage) is equal to 800 microamps. That's bad. Can you drop 
more than 1.35 volts across the device before it becomes hot and doesn't work 
anymore? Thanks for your help.
