Anybody have a better memory than me? sol Hi sol, As far as I recall, HVAC can make various nitrous oxides, some of which are toxic. I'm not sure if any nitrates are generated, which would be needed for nitric acid, which would be needed to make silver nitrate. We would need a real good chemist to sort this out, but I think it's pretty safe to say nobody uses HVAC for homemade cs any more. The ion concentration is too low - maybe less than 3 nines. Everyone I know who was using abandoned it long ago. One company may still use a special HVAC generator where the electrode is above the surface of the water and forms an electric arc. Frank analyzed their product and posted the results on his web site. I recall it makes about 20ppm, but I don't think Frank measures any nitrogen byproducts. I have the patent around somewhere but can't locate it at the moment. One thing I remember clearly is the patent stated the operator had to continuously adjust the spacing of the rods, and that it was fairly difficult to see the small arc. This means there would be large variations in product quality as the operator became fatigued. This seems like such a waste of effort when we can make equal or better ion concentration with LVDC, with no risk of unwanted nitrogen products. I still have two flat silver electrodes Ole Bob gave me to do comparison tests with 12 ga wire. He had used them for HVAC production, and you can see etching along the water line where the high voltage caused some arcing. I was thinking of firing them up this weekend to see if there was any change in performance with my new conductance plotting process, but it looks like the ozone machine will burn up all the available time.

HI Deborah, I can't tell you much about it. I'm just taking the Matrix supplements I got from Huggins and crew after my dental revision based on their analysis of my blood chemistry, and not really bothering to analyze them yet. Their claim is that the minerals they sell are each in several different bioavailable chemical forms so that, no matter what's wrong with you, at least *one* of them will be absorbed and used by your system. I think the good forms are mostly organic chelates. The non- bioavailable forms generally are inorganic. In the case of calcium, mostly rocks, like dolomite. The Huggins supplements are usually rather low potency and used sparingly compared to what we're used to. This is supposed to be because they are so bioavailable you don't need as much.

Re: CSRoot Canals
At the Dr. Huggins website, he says root canals are very bad. So, what is one to do? Hi Pat, I went to the clinic believing (or hoping, might be the better word) that I would be spared any surgery on my gums. I had a mouth full of fillings, but no extraction sites, root canals, crowns, or anything else complicated. As it turns out, they've learned in the last 3 years or so that even un- nucleated wisdom tooth sites can harbor a void in the bone filled by material that can trigger an autoimmune response. The pivotal case that brought this to their attention was a woman with a *perfectly* healthy mouth who nonetheless suffered from ... MS, I think. (I'm going from memory here, so may not get the details of the story right.) The only thing she had was wisdom teeth that hadn't formed. At the urging of the desparate husband, they explored those sites and found what they usually see at cavitation sites. Removal of the material produced significant improvement in her condition. Since then they have explored many such sites and found cavitations in all but a few. This was enough to convince me to let them go ahead with the oral surgery I had hoped to avoid, despite the fact that I had not read about it in their publications beforehand and I wasn't as prepared for it as the rest of what I knew had to be done. Now, to the point of my recollections, I was still the simplest case there. Some folks were having several teeth removed, bridges made, crowns replaced... Boy, there was a lot of dentistry going on! The story with root canals is that they know of no way to make them safe. They *always* harbor anaerobic bacteria that produce dangerous toxins, despite the claims of conventional dental authorities to the contrary. So a root canal means the tooth has to go. Which is not a happy thing. My wife has a root canal, two crowns, and 4 wisdom tooth extraction sites that have to be cleaned out. She's not happy with the notion that there's no alternative but an extraction and bridge. In fact, the other crown is on a post that may have to be removed as well, so she may need two bridges. sigh All that is daunting, and it's going to be a while before she is going to be willing to do that, if ever. There's a lot of experience to back up the asserted dangers of root canals. The controversy surrounding the procedure, like the safety of mercury fillings, goes back over a hundred years. They are no more willing to admit to it than in the case of amalgams. So your dentist will not hear about it from any reputable source, no matter how well intentioned he may be. I'm fortunate and grateful that I still have all my own teeth. My wisdom tooth sites are healed over, and the sensitivity to temperature and chewing is starting to subside in all of my molars. I now have to wait and see if my health problems are going to improve significantly. Since I didn't walk in the door with a single, serious diagnosis, the long term results will likely be less obvious or measurable than for others. I'll be detoxing for a while as the easily mobilized mercury comes out of me and my body adapts to the absence of my recommended daily allowance of new mercury. At the same time we're slowly adjusting my blood chemistries by diet and supplementation. So, I may not start to feel better for a while. You're going to have to decide what to believe. Research the subject from all sides. When you're ready to make your decision you'll know. Be well, Mike D.

CSRoot Canals
At the Dr. Huggins website, he says root canals are very bad. So, what is one to do? I have a molar, bottom, second from back, that is broken, had a filling down to the root, and is now covered with a crown to hold it all together. If I chew on it, it sends an electric shock type pain occassionally. I discussed options with my dentist. He said you can't just pull it because then all the other teeth would shift to fill up the space. To put an artificial tooth in there, he'd have to grind down the teeth next to it to attach anchors, but he's unwilling to do that since one is a perfect tooth that's never had a filling. To put an implanted tooth in, first he has to pull the tooth, after that's healed months later, surgically implant the base, and then about 6 months after all that you get a tooth attached. He recommends root canal, ...he said it has a very high success rate. He said they don't remove the crown, just drill through it and then fill it up afterwards. I said I've read things that say they're not good for you and I know a couple people who've had problems with pain afterwards, but he said things are so exaggerated on the internet and that most people never have a problem. I've been going to him since '89 and I know he wants what's best for me. He doesn't even do root canals himself...sends people to an endodontist. For now, I'll just keep chewing on one side mostly, although it's sometimes difficult to do. So, what would YOU do if it was your bad tooth? Pat __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: CSHoney as an antibiotic - heat
Osiyo Nigadv! Hello Everyone! Honey of any purity will crystallize over time. Different flower nectars can cause longer or shorter crystallization times. Honey taste goes from very mild like orange and clover to a heavy flavor as in Horehound. Crystallization or granulation begins as the water content continues to evaporate and the glucose sets as the monohydrate. The color will also darken. Raw unfiltered honey may contain bits and pieces of body parts, wax, and propolis. This is the real stuff and will not sell in the grocery stores. Typical honey analysis: Fructose: 38%, Glucose: 31%, Sucrose: 1%, Water: 17%, Other sugars: 9% (maltose, melezitose), Ash: 0.17% .. Source: Sugar Alliance Commercial honey may have additives and filtration to reduce viscosity and lengthen granulation time. Some mix different nectar honeys in a blend to reduce strong flavors. Raw unfiltered honey is normally very thick. You can prove this to yourself by looking at the viscosity of raw unfiltered honey and the commercial brands. To return to liquid just gentle heat in a warm water bath, never boiling hot tho as heat will kill the beneficial enzymes. Never in the microwave either. My Dad was a commercial apiarists and I was myself for many years as a hobby. It is hard to make a living harvesting honey now-a-days. Bee stings cured me of arthritis in my back. X-rays showed bone spurs on L4 and L5 and the only thing it could have been was the continual bee stings that caused the spurs to disappear... Giving honey to infants can be hazardous because some infants can develop the disease known as infant botulism. This occurs because there is a natural bacteria in the honey which cannot be filtered out. The bacteria then produces a toxin, known as botulin, in the infant's intestines. After the infant has become more than a year old, the intestine has matured and the bacteria cannot grow. Even the honey in some processed foods can cause botulism. After an infant ingests this bacteria, the disease can occur within a few hours or even up to a week.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey Love Bob Adageyudi Staya Udanvti - Original Message - From: John McLean h...@bigpond.net.au To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2006 6:22 PM Subject: Re: CSHoney as an antibiotic - heat An other thing, I remember was that if honey candied it was impure honey, and I can't remember what caused it to candy.

Re: CSHoney as an antibiotic - heat
There may be something in this - I recall in Wales, 50 years ago, Mum complaining that a local beekeeper fed his bees with sugar, and I recall that honey was set pretty hard. Where can we find a tame beekeeper to quiz? But certainly what I have heard from the beekeepers I've bought off and people who talk as if they know a thing or two is that the honey that sets has not been heated (overheated). R http://www.capilano.com.au/education/facts-about-honey.aspx says Q: Why does honey go 'candied' or 'sugary' or 'lumpy'? A: Honey that has 'candied' is still in top condition. It has simply gone through a natural process due to many factors, such as temperature conditions and the ratio of the naturally occurring sugars in honey. All honey will candy eventually, but some will candy very quickly - some will even candy in the frame in the hive before the beekeeper is able to extract the honey - and some honey will take many years to candy. The exact composition of honey depends from which type of flowers the honeybee has been collecting the nectar. Q: What should I do when honey is candied? A: 1) Spoon honey into a microwave safe container or heat resistant bowl and place in the microwave. Heat the honey in 30 second increments on a medium heat and stir at each stage (ensuring you remove the spoon between mixes) (R says: Not happy about anything in the microwave, let alone honey) or 2) Place squeeze pack in a container or bowl of hot tap water until the honey becomes liquid again (make sure the lid is exposed out of the water to ensure that no water leaks into the pack).

It has simply gone through a natural process due to many factors, such as temperature conditions and the ratio of the naturally occurring sugars in honey.

The exact composition of honey depends from which type of flowers the honeybee has been collecting the nectar. Q:What is creamed honey? A: This is pure honey (with very fine grained crystallised or candied honey added) and is whipped which adds air bubbles. This gives the honey a creamy look and a smooth, velvety taste. Pure honey is the only ingredient - nothing else is added. It is the process of whipping that gives its unique texture. Creamed honey is thicker than liquid honey and is ideal for spreading on toast and crumpets. http://www.xs4all.nl/~jtemp/RawHoney.html note that (probably in the USA!) honey heated to 140 instead of 160 degrees is being labelled raw. with note added to post saying *In discussions on this topic with Honey Board Staff, it was determined that, indeed, no single definition for raw honey exists. For commercially raw honey, the standards are set between buyer and seller, and a standard minimum processing temperature does not exist. We agree that it is time to define these standards, and support any action by beekeeping organizations and others to do so. However, until such are in force, we do not believe that packers using the term on their labels are fradulent nor unscrupulous. Opportunistic may be a better term. Ed. . http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060627035558AAqYgmK - feeding them sugar will ruin the honey. If you've ever bought honey in a grocery store and after a month or two, you get a build up around the top, that's because sugar was fed to the bees. It does nothing but ruin the honey. Let them do their own thing. http://www.sugarindia.com/invert_syrup_honey_bee.htm interesting stuff about sugars that feed and sugars that kill bees. M well all I can say is that Dad used to own 600 beehives, he always maintained that if your honey candied it wasn't, but he isn't alive now for me to ask him. I do remember that he always used to extract the honey when it was below a 20% moisture content, how he measured it I don't know.

There is nothing unusual about life forms that lack a true cell wall. Instead, they have a membrane to keep everything in. Mycoplasma is one example. Here's a partial description. The actual article is much longer. Background: Mycoplasmal organisms are the smallest known free-living life forms. They are nearly ubiquitous in both the plant and animal kingdoms as colonizers and pathogens. They are prokaryotes but lack a cell wall; however, they have a unique cell membrane that contains sterols, which are not present in either bacteria or viruses. Mycoplasma organisms are small (150-250 nm) and have deformable membranes. The name Mycoplasma refers to the plasticity of the bacterial forms resembling fungal elements. When they were first discovered, mycoplasmal organisms were believed to be viruses because they pass through filters that retain bacteria. However, unlike viruses, they are able to grow in cell-free media and contain both ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Mycoplasma species have also been mistakenly believed to be L-forms of bacteria, which also lack cell walls. Unlike mycoplasmal organisms, L-form bacteria do not have sterols in the cell membranes, and they can revert to their walled parental forms. The following summary is modified from Baum's Introduction to Mycoplasma Diseases in Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases (2000) (see Image 1). The general characteristics of Mycoplasma species include the following: Prokaryotic Size of 150-250 nm Lack of a cell wall Sterol-containing cell membrane Fastidious growth requirements Fried-egg or mulberry colonies on agar Mycoplasma species differ from viruses in the following ways: They grow on cell-free media in vitro They contain both RNA and DNA They have both intracellular and extracellular parasitism in vivo Mycoplasma species differ from bacteria (including L-forms) in the following ways: They have sterols in the cell membrane They share no DNA homology with known bacteria They have low guanine levels plus cytosine content Their genome has a low molecular weight They exhibit no reversion to walled forms Pathophysiology: Mycoplasma organisms cause infection primarily as extracellular parasites, attaching to the surface of ciliated and nonciliated epithelial cells. The attachment site, or receptor, is a complex carbohydrate structurally akin to antigen I of red blood cells. The antibody response to this receptor results in production of the anti-I antibody or cold agglutinin, which acts as an autoantibody. Following attachment, mycoplasmal organisms may cause direct cytotoxic damage to epithelial cells because of hydrogen peroxide generation or cytolysis via an inflammatory response mediated by mononuclear cells or antigen-antibody reactions. Systemic spread of the bacterium is rare. Most Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated illnesses are confined to the respiratory tract (see Extrarespiratory manifestations for M pneumoniae infection). Genital mycoplasmal organisms are associated with a number of genitourinary tract and reproductive diseases but also can cause infections at other sites. Mycoplasmal organisms commonly contaminate tissue cultures, in which they act as intracellular parasites and alter both cellular and viral molecular events. They are difficult to eliminate, and they raise questions regarding the validity of molecular biology results from tissue-culture experiments. http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1524.htm Note the last paragraph about contamination.

Re: CSRoot Canals
Dear Pat, Ok, I can believe that maybe root canals could have a pocket for germs or whatever. But, I'm wondering...when you first have the 4 wisdom teeth extracted, and they're very careful about bacteria and clean healinghow will it be different if they open up those sites and do it all over again? When conventional dentists pull teeth, they routinely leave behind the ligament that connects the tooth with the gums. The gum heals over, and a cap of bone forms over the cavity where the tooth was. What's left does not have good circulation and eventually tissues die, bacteria grow and turn anaerobic, and this toxic soup diffuses slowly into the lymphatic system and from there to the rest of the body. Go in there, clean out the socket and grind away a millimeter or two of bone, and as it re-heals (if you're careful not to dislodge the blood clot in the first day or two) the bone fills in and there's no longer anyplace for anything to grow. That's the theory, anyway. Some of the folks at the clinic I went through are already seeing improvements, so I'm optimistic that they're not making it *all* up out of whole cloth. grin Sure hope yours heal fast Mike, ...what a nightmare to go through. Did they do that over a period of days? Healing from the dental work is coming along fine, one month out. Detox and long term improvement are a work in progress. Nothing exciting to report, but no serious complications either. They did it all in one sitting for me, under conscious sedation. Umm, I went to sleep and don't remember a thing! grin Others had to have two sessions to get all the work in. Many were in the chair longer than the 3 1/2 hours that I was. They do a lot of things to speed healing and minimize pain -- some kind of insulin injection near the surgical sites, magnets, a painkiller, massage and accupressure treatments... I'm surprised, actually, how well the discomfort was managed. We did pretty well, actually. They'd have to just put me to sleep and do it all. I can't stand dental nerve pain. Once I was trembling so bad when getting a filling done that they put my coat over me and waited a bit before they could do it. I sure wouldn't voluntarily go through changing fillings. Well, it's not something you do on a lark! I thought it over for a long while, believe me. I finally decided that if I'm going to fully regain my health and stamina I'm going to *have* to remove the burden of heavy metal poisoning and let my body heal itself. If I didn't, everything I'd ever try would be handicapped. Enough other people I've talked to have seen their health improve after amalgam removal, that I had a pretty high level of confidence going in. We'll see how it goes over the next few months.

So, what is one to do? Hi Pat, I went to the clinic believing (or hoping, might be the better word) that I would be spared any surgery on my gums. I had a mouth full of fillings, but no extraction sites, root canals, crowns, or anything else complicated. As it turns out, they've learned in the last 3 years or so that even un- nucleated wisdom tooth sites can harbor a void in the bone filled by material that can trigger an autoimmune response. The pivotal case that brought this to their attention was a woman with a *perfectly* healthy mouth who nonetheless suffered from ... MS, I think. (I'm going from memory here, so may not get the details of the story right.) The only thing she had was wisdom teeth that hadn't formed. At the urging of the desparate husband, they explored those sites and found what they usually see at cavitation sites. Removal of the material produced significant improvement in her condition. Since then they have explored many such sites and found cavitations in all but a few. This was enough to convince me to let them go ahead with the oral surgery I had hoped to avoid, despite the fact that I had not read about it in their publications beforehand and I wasn't as prepared for it as the rest of what I knew had to be done. Now, to the point of my recollections, I was still the simplest case there. Some folks were having several teeth removed, bridges made, crowns replaced... Boy, there was a lot of dentistry going on! The story with root canals is that they know of no way to make them safe. They *always* harbor anaerobic bacteria that produce dangerous toxins, despite the claims of conventional dental authorities to the contrary. So a root canal means the tooth has to go. Which is not a happy thing. My wife has a root canal, two crowns, and 4 wisdom tooth extraction sites that have to be cleaned out. She's not happy with the notion that there's no alternative but an extraction and bridge. In fact, the other crown is on a post that may have to be removed as well, so she may need two bridges. sigh All that is daunting, and it's going to be a while before she is going to be willing to do that, if ever. There's a lot of experience to back up the asserted dangers of root canals. The controversy surrounding the procedure, like the safety of mercury fillings, goes back over a hundred years. They are no more willing to admit to it than in the case of amalgams. So your dentist will not hear about it from any reputable source, no matter how well intentioned he may be. I'm fortunate and grateful that I still have all my own teeth. My wisdom tooth sites are healed over, and the sensitivity to temperature and chewing is starting to subside in all of my molars. I now have to wait and see if my health problems are going to improve significantly. Since I didn't walk in the door with a single, serious diagnosis, the long term results will likely be less obvious or measurable than for others. I'll be detoxing for a while as the easily mobilized mercury comes out of me and my body adapts to the absence of my recommended daily allowance of new mercury. At the same time we're slowly adjusting my blood chemistries by diet and supplementation. So, I may not start to feel better for a while. You're going to have to decide what to believe. Research the subject from all sides. When you're ready to make your decision you'll know. Be well, Mike D.

Re: CSRoot Canals
well, i take a different approach to teeth. teeth are batteries for organs. removal imho should be a last resort. years ago hubby had an ingrown wisdom tooth that erupted into an abscess over night. his jaw got huge. we knew it would be several weeks before we could even find an oral surgeon...having to wade thru so many charlatans and pick the lesser of evils. hubby mixed dmso and tea tree oil and applied several times a day. in 24 hours the area had returned to normal. since he doesn't like surgery he left the tooth in for almost a year. i have a crown some 42 years. over time the tooth has been sensitive on occasion...and painful. the dmso tea tree oil is very effective. when the tooth flares i look for the organ associated with the tooth as an indicator the problem behind the symptom. presently studying rife technology. if you know of anyone who has a rife, good rife, i would start there. it is also possible that a simple electronic device (have not studied the others) may benefit. pulling the tooth would be my last resort, and only after i had tried everything else. for me it becomes do i remove the tooth and deal with the permanent diminished battery source and early warning system for the organ or do i deal with occasional bacterial conditions that i have always been able to successfully address. rose

CSbody chemistry, mineral imbalances, was Re: CSbest vitamin c
Body chemistry is further confused by the fact that the body has a set point for blood levels of calcium, and if you don't get enough or what you take in is not properly utilized the body will remove calcium from the bones to maintain the blood levels. So I believe that blood levels of calcium and other minerals are not a very good indicator of what is really going on, or what the state of calcium in the body really is. Blood levels are therefore not totally reliable, but a poor tool is better than none, maybe.

CSNanobacteria
Reading Mike MonetÂ’s opinions regarding nanobacteria, I did my own research. What I found caused me to conclude differently than Mike. The following sites have specific information on the topic: www.joimr.org/phorum/read.php?f=2i=42t=42 www.crohns.org/articles/2000_10_185-95_jmm.htm www.personalconsult.com/articles/lymecellwalldeficiency.html The next site is rather technical, but very enlightening. The Th1 (T-helper) inflammatory response occurs in reaction to the invasion of cells by extremely tiny bacteria. These parasitic bacteria are also called pleomorphic (many shapes) or L-form (Lister) or Cell Wall Deficient (CWD) or cell wall divergent or nanobacteria. It goes on further to make the point that, far from being effective, some antibiotics actually cause CWD bacteria. www.arrowheadhealthworks.com/Mattmnbk.htm The next site states, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis--The Cause May Be in the Blood. Since many folks are having good success fighting MS with generous amounts of CS, the implications are positive. The term stealth pathogens refers to bacteria that have cell walls that are deficient in shape, structure, rigidity, and/or layering. This feature enables such bacteria (CWD, or cell wall deficient) to easily move DNA between cells and for groups of CWD bacteria to fuse together and facilitate genetic experiments, explains microbiologist Lida Holmes Mattman, Ph.D., a leading authority in this field. Such genetic experiments can include many of today's more baffling autoimmune diseases such as MS and rheumatoid arthritis, along with other forms of arthritis, septicemia, meningitis, urinary tract infections, heart valve infection, eye inflammations, and a host of other maladies, says Dr. Mattman. These organisms are clandestine, almost unrecognizable, and omnipresent, says Dr. Mattman. They are capable of considerable shape-changing and growth resulting in disease-hence the apt term, stealth pathogens. In fact, the cell shapes produced by a diminished, discontinuous, or absent cell wall are almost endlessly variegated and work their way into all aspects of microbe participation in life. They're known by various technical names, according to the degree to which they've lost their cell wall: spheroplast, protoplast, L-phase, L-forms, transitionals, and mycoplasma. According to some physicians, mycoplasma, which are unable to make any cell wall whatsoever and are highly divergent in type, may be involved in the initiation of cancer. The definition/description of 'mycoplasma' would apply as well to 'nanobacteria'. www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/6412/stealth.htm __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: CSbody chemistry, mineral imbalances, was Re: CSbest vitamin c
I earned my Certificate in Nutrition for the most part by learning/studying the works of Melvin Page, DDS. (I think the Weston Price site may have info on Page, also the Price Pottenger site). Page taught that the ideal blood levels of CA and P (phosphorus) are 10 and 4.5. It is the ratio, however, that is the most important factor, he said. CA should always be 2 and a half times the P. For a long time, I'd check the routine blood work my doc ordered and I'd make adjustments to my supplements based on this ratio. About 10 yrs ago my blood work came back absent the P. I asked my doc what happened and was told that the insurance companies decided to go by the Medicare guidelines and Medicare had decided that P was irrelevant! (stifling rant) Now when I walk out of doc's office with lab slip in hand, I just check off Phosphorus before I go to the lab. I did ask my doc if this would be okjust in case the PTB would throw me in jail or something. G. It was P that got me over a horrible fibromyalgia attack back in the late 90s. I don't remember now if I had a current lab report when I took the P. What I have discovered is that when my P gets low or out of ratio to CA, my teeth will start staining. This could be just an overly alkaline condition systemically, but P is an acid mineral and it always works for me. At that time my neck was so tight that I had pain from the trapezius all the way up the side of my head, and I was immobilized---couldn't drive or even sleep anywhere but a reclining chair. Then I noticed my darkening teeth. P cured me of that bout in a few weeks. It's not easy to find phosphorus. Any practitioner that carries Standard Process products could provide their Phosfood.

Re: CSRoot Canals
I had a root canal 30 years ago, which after 8 years I started to get abscesses just below it. Got antibiotic, went away, only to return again 2 months later. This went on for approx. 1 year when I said pull the tooth, I'd rather an empty space. We'll work on a partial later. Well, it healed and not more than 3 months later, another abscess. I would literally pop the abscess through the gum. Finally, after much time and pain, I went to an oral surgeon, who said they didn't see much through the X-ray, he just thought he'd have to scrap the bone. Ha Ha Ha on meonce he opened up the gum, I had an infection in my jawbone that they couldn't see in the X-ray (it just looked like a shadow). Well, it turned into a 3 hour surgery. Scared the hell out of my mom who had come with me. From that point on, I refused any root canals until this past year. I was a child of the early 60's and every pin hole cavity the dentist drilled out the hole tooth. Partials (removable) don't work. Very uncomfortable. Permanent bridges are good unless there is nothing to anchor into. Then you have to look to the dental implant. I haven't done that as of yet but someday I might.

There are many criticisms of NASA, and many obviously justified.

Re: CSHoney as an antibiotic - heat
Do you know about creamy white unpasteurized honey? I bought this once -- from the refrigerated foods section -- and liked it. From Canada as I recall. What makes the white creamy texture I know not. Regarding buckwheat honey, mentioned in another message, I heard on PBS that this is one of the most powerful antioxidant foods known.

CS[RE]CSsinus infection Brooks B.
Dear Shirley, I will try, briefly, to give a quick summary of the protocol I used. I employed the general suggestions given in Gary Craig's EFT Manual. I used direct statements which included the brief identity of the affected part/condition. I used the unmodified basic protocol (all of it) two or three times dailybut being sure to have one of them the last thing before going to sleep at night. I repeated the tapping procedure (together with the mantra) three times for each location (using a minimum of seven tapes for each location---each time the procedure was employed. I was "shocked" at the degree of relief...and the speed of the occurrence of the improvementof my insomnia (three days for SIGNIFICANT improvement). This condition had been manifest for the immediately past 10 years.and NOTHING attempted yielded any measurable...realcorrection, prior to applying this extraordinarily simplistic protocol. I was even more impressed by the improvement ! in my chronic sinus drainageas no drug-based therapy had ever successfully addressed that issue. I am not recommending EFT as a treatment for anything-just relating my personal experience. If it was a PLACEBO EFFECT, it was the most powerful of which I have ever heard. Do understand, a majority of our staff are DEEPLY involved in the more CONVENTIONAL aspects of the mainstream scientific/medical paradigmthan am Iconsequently, a significant number consider "spontaneous correction" a more tenable explanationthan assigning any credible effect to the EFT protocols. Their intellectual predications are of no real moment to mehowever. Personal experience displays the highest flag.at least to me. [ As a matter of record, few of them enjoy more extensive academic/professional qualificationsthan do I.] I hope these comments are of some value to you. I must go now.

Re: CSNanobacteria
Interesting that Dr. Robert O. Becker proposed a crystalline origin of life which somewhat later was clad in protein, in his book Body Electric, which was published I think in 1985. He said it was the most probable because it provides the necessary structure, the mechanism to self repair, and a variable current carrying ability are built in properties, or words to that effect. Duncan Later studies by another group reached different results, suggesting peculiar yet inanimate etiology of the disease. A paper published in 2000 by a team led by John Cisar of the US National Institutes of Health proposed that the self-replication was, in fact, an unusual form of crystaline growth, and that contamination may have been the source of the DNA. However, the Cisar group did not as part of their study examine nanobacteria samples from the Kajander group, therefore critics observed that without such a control sample the assertion that these were self-replicating crystals or contamination had not been substantiated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobacteria Nanobacteria have no relation to the pathogens you discussed.

Duncan 1. Nanobacteria are clad in apatite, not protein. 2. Body Electric is a misnomer. Electrons do not flow in electrolytes. The current flow in electrolytes, including our bodies, is via anions and cations. As shown in the Theory section on my web site, the movement of charge carriers is dominated by diffusion and convection. In fact, the direction of charge flow may be at right angles, or even opposite to, the direction of an applied electric field. 3. There is no evidence that nanobacteria self-repair. 4. Dunan, earlier, you stated: Mike, I consider that if a few bacterial contaminants might replicate enough to cause symptoms in 35-40 years, decreasing the time to symptoms can be accomplished also by increasing these contaminants through a program of repeated exposure. Double the contaminants, half the time to symptoms, and 40 times the contaminants in a short program could produce symptoms in as little as a bit more than a year.

Re: CSThe Immune System ( 20 % )Thymic protein A
Jonathan B. Britten jbrit...@cc.nakamura-u.ac.jp wrote: There are many criticisms of NASA, and many obviously justified. But the research on nanobacteria stemmed from verifiable changes in the health of astronauts - dramatically increased calcification in the body - and the search for the cause and solution. Maybe nanobacteria research is barking up the wrong tree, but I don't have enough knowledge about the topic to say so. It certainly sounds plausible. Hi Jonathan, I believe NASA showed long ago that zero gravity was responsible for loss of calcium from the bones. This is why astronauts go through hours of exercise each day. As far as the nanobaceria research being conducted at NASA, I posted Nanobac Life Sciences press release earlier: NASA's Johnson Space Center to Study Nanobacteria Nanobac Life Sciences, Inc. (OTCPK: NNBP) is pleased to announce the signing of a Space Act Agreement with NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston Texas, to collaborate on research on Nanobacteria and its nature and role in pathological calcification, including the detection and treatment of the pathogen. Since Astronauts may be more prone to an increased rate of pathological calcification while in a zero gravity environment, the collaboration will bring a new approach to NASA's need to better understand the effects of long- term space travel on humans. In addition, Nanobac's work provides a model for studying mineralized organic matters that could aid NASA in the search for extraterrestrial life. Nanobac co-founder and Director of Science, Neva Ciftcioglu, Ph.D. will remain at NASA JSC as Senior Scientist and principal researcher. Under the agreement, NASA will provide workspace at JSC for Nanobac's personnel located at JSC. The agreement further provides Nanobac the opportunity to work together with a multidisciplinary team of NASA researchers while having access to basic laboratory services for nanobacteria science, including electron microscopy, molecular biology and geology-mineralogy research facilities. Projects ranging from searching for nanobacteria biosignatures in earth fossils and in Mars meteorites to diagnosing and treating nanobacteria infection are anticipated. Nanobac will provide JSC with equipment and specialty supplies for nanobacteria research and apply its pioneering diagnostic and treatment experience in the field. We are pleased to be able to provide our Director of Science to NASA for these important projects, commented John Stanton, Nanobac's President and Chief Executive Officer. We look forward to a very rich and rewarding research collaboration with NASA. We appreciate the opportunity to work with some of the country's most talented scientists. This announcement shall not be construed to imply that NASA currently or in the future endorses or sponsors any NANOBAC product or service. http://www.comspacewatch.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=15024 Nanobac is owned by the Finnish researches who published the first report. Their company is conducting the experiments, and supplying the materials including the methods and products needed to detect nanobacteria. What probability would you extend to the possibility that they won't be able to find any nanobactera? My guess is zero. In fact, they will probably come to the conclusion there is far more than expected, and more studies are needed. Oops - that has already come true: (NB = nanobacteria) To further comprehend the implications of NB, trials were conducted at NASA to examine NB, in a bioreactor chamber which simulates conditions of space travel. In this microgravity environment, NB was found to multiply five times faster compared to normal gravity on Earth, supporting earlier discoveries that microbes have radically different behavior in weightless environments. NB is also shown to possibly be an infectious risk for crew members living in close quarters. http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2005/03/17/nasa_links_nanobacteria_to_kidney_stones_and_other_diseases.html I wonder how they managed to simulate a microgravity environment in a bioreactor chamber that is bolted to the ground?

Maybe it was nitric something, or nitrous something I was thinking of, or thought I remembered. oh, well, not important, as I sure don't intend to mess with HVAC. sol Hi sol, You are a genius and don't know it. You were right all along. Nitric acid is formed from nitrogen dioxide in the arc dissolving in water. Did you miss my reply showing an experiment with an arc and moist blue litmus paper? Just in case, here it is again: You can duplicate the process on a small scale with the apparatus shown at the top of this page. Bend the lower ends of the stiff iron wires so they form a spark gap with about 2 between the points. Hang a moist strip of blue litmus paper over one. Connect the two wires to the high-voltage terminals of the spark coil. Let the spark jump the gap continuously for several minutes. The spark produces nitrogen dioxide. This in turn reacts with the moisture in the litmus paper. The litmus turns pink, indicating nitric acid has formed. http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/03/07/the-gas-that-makes-you-laugh/ The nitrogen dioxide dissolves in the water and dissociates to form nitric acid much like carbon dioxide. But the dissociation is probably much greater. The nitric acid combines with silver ions to form silver nitrate. This is a very small concentration, to be sure, but the silver nitrate is much less effective than silver ions. So you were right all along! Good idea to not mess with HVAC. Besides not working very well for making cs, it can be lethal!

CS
Most of my friends and relatives accept without question that vitamins and minerals (including metals like iron) are safe to consume in moderate doses and are essential for good health. Yet when I suggest to some of them that silver is a safe mineral that kills germs I'm usually greeted with a look of amusement that visibly turns to horror as it dawns on them that I'm serious. You can just about see the cogs turning over. (My God... he's a fruitcake and I never realised it! How many other signs have I missed? Where's the exit?) If they can't escape, or say what they really think because we are in mixed company, they try to debate or reason with me using the intuitive arguments of the skeptic. The link below lists the usual 'tricks' of the skeptic, and its pretty entertaining. http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/comment/skeptictricks.htm I recommend you go to the site and read the whole thing because it's not too long and I didn't write it. But here's my poorly condensed version with some, occasionally silly, comment added. Regards David TRICKS OF SKEPTICS 1) RAISING THE BAR , Or IMPOSSIBLE PERFECTION: This trick consists of demanding a new, higher and more difficult standard of evidence. (A mountain of testimonials and lab tests will never be enough). 2.) SOCK 'EM WITH OCCAM: Occam's Razor, a principle of knowledge theory states that the simplest explanation which fits all the facts is to be preferred. (If you haven't had a cold in 4 years its just because you've been lucky). 3.) EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS: Extraordinary claims, say the skeptic, require extraordinary evidence. (Why is the claim that silver kills germs so extraordinary?) 4.) STUPID, CRAZY LIARS: Researchers who report anything which displeases the skeptic will be accused of incompetence, mental illness or dishonesty, or some combination of the three. (You've fallen for a scam.) 5.) THE SANTA CLAUS GAMBIT: (Goes like this. Oh so you probably believe in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny too. Foul language is the only reasonable answer to that one). 6.) SHIFTING THE BURDEN OF EVIDENCE: The skeptic insists that he doesn't have to provide evidence to support his side of the argument. (You're crazy if you believe that, but my evidence is indisputable... its common knowledge... it comes from ...er watching TV.) 7.) YOU CAN'T PROVE A NEGATIVE: The skeptic may insist that he is relieved of the burden of evidence and argument because you can't prove a negative. (Well actually theres a ton of evidence proving a lot of approved drugs are much less effective and far more dangerous dangerous than silver but YOU won't read it. ) 8.) THE BIG LIE: (The skeptic says he doesn't take silver but he's perfectly healthy.) 9.) DOUBT CASTING: This trick consists of dwelling on minor or trivial flaws in the evidence. (But interestingly this trick doesn't carry any weight when you try it in reverse, e.g... The Rosemary Jacobs case is over 50 years old and she never drank colloidal silver in here life but try convincing them of that.) 10.) THE SNEER: (A good time to end the discussion and get another beer) * * *
