Re: CS>Re: Thoughts and comments

2001-10-06 Thread A.V.R.A.
According to Peter Lindemann ( whom I personally view as a good source of
information for more than just CS ), adding salt as a primer results in
particles sized from .05 to .14 microns, as determined from electon
microscope photography.  Particles this size, according to Peter, are too
large to form a colloidal suspension.

"Also, silver salts are often not as effective as colloidal Silver or Silver
proteins. For example, Simonetti and colleagues tested extremely dilute
solutions of electro-colloidal Silver [Ag(e)] and Silver nitrate [Ag N03]
against culture of two bacteria (E. coli and P. aeruginosa), a yeast (C.
albicans) and a mould (A. niger). The levels of Silver ion tested were
incredibly low: 108 PPB (0.108mcg/ml) and 10.8PPB (0.0108 mcg/ml). Simonetti
et al concluded "Our experiments showed that the contact antimicrobial
activity of Ag(e) was superior to that of AgNO3 against gram-positive and
negative bacteria, C. albicans, and a filamentous mycete. Our contact tests
confirmed the excellent antibacterial spectrum and the high potency of
electrically generated silver demonstrated previously Anodic silver ions
are very effective agents at low concentrations without any detrimental
effect upon normal mammalian cells, and the [low] concentrations needed to
inhibit the bacteria in invitro experiments have been confirmed clinical
data." (23)"
   23) N. Simonetti et al (1992) "Electrochemical Ag+ for Preservative
Use" Appl Environ Microbiol 58, 3834-36.

The above taken from International Anti-Aging systems...  The opinion stated
is that silver salts are corrosive, and act as astringents and irritants.
In their opinion, mild silver protein is better than silver salts.

A further quote:  "Electrically prepared colloidal silver [Ag(e)] is
currently available from many sources, in potencies ranging from 3-5 PPM up
to 500 PPM. Equally (or more) important than the silver level is the
particle size and degree of dispersion. In a liquid colloid, the Silver does
not actually dissolve in the liquid; rather, it exists as a suspension of
microscopic particles floating around in the liquid medium. Properly made
Ag(e) should contain particles approximately 0.01 to 0.001 microns in
diameter (1 micron=one millionth of a meter, or 4/100,000 inch). At this
tiny size, each particle is a cluster of perhaps 5-20 Silver atoms, with a
positive electric charge."

Also taken from International Anti-Aging Systems.

Correct me if I'm wrong ( and I could be ) but most people started using
salt in CS preparations because of an article written and widely publicized
by Mark Metcalf.  That article is still widely publicized, even though Mark
later admitted that it was true that avoiding creating silver salts in the
generator process was more desireable over the quick fix of adding salt,
which only added the benefit of decreasing the amount of time of brew.

>From AHP ( brand ):

"Although there have been a number of different techniques developed in an
attempt to achieve a true silver colloid, the best and most effective method
is the electrical process since it is the only method which preserves the
necessary homogeneity, minuteness of granules, purity and stability to
create a true colloid. [Examples of other methods which have been employed
are mechanical grind, ultrasonic and chemical-Ed.]. A true colloid of silver
is composed of particles of ultrafine, 99.999% silver, electrically charged
and held in suspension in a solution of deionized water. According to the
Colloid Research Foundation, the highest quality colloidal silver consists
of the maximum number of particles of the minimum possible size with the
ultimate solution having a huge number of particles of one atom, each
carrying an electrical charge."

"Researcher Leonard Hirschberg A.M., M.D. (Johns Hopkins) says: 'From a
therapeutical point of view I need only deal with the electric colloid
metals ... Only these present the necessary homogeneity, purity and
stability.'"


According to Dr. Ronald J Gibbs, the ideal colloidal silver contains
particles ranging from .01 microns to .001.  In his book, Dr. Gibbs clearly
demonstrates a relationship between particle size and effectiveness against
bacteria, demonstrating this via in-vitro experiments.  Dr. Gibbs considers
safe ranges of colloidal silver to up to 12ppm.  Interesting to note that
Gibbs says that a 1 to 9 ratio must be used ( in-vitro) for true efficacy
against bacteria ( bacteria:colloidal silver in measured in drops ).  He
studied time periods  up to 11.5 hours.  Of course, in the body, the process
works differently, very differently.

After spending a few minutes researching the matter, in the spirit of
open-mindedness, I can't imagine why one would want to create larger
particles, nor why one would want to purposefully create compounds, when it
is relatively easy to avoid both.  It seems like a case of reinventing the
wheel square.

As to why solutions made with salts still work, there could be any number

  List: Thanks to Quackwatch I got a rare look at what a modern day physician

  "Physicians can be as gullible as anyone else.  It takes time and energy to 
think critically about a subject and physicians are just as eager to find a

don't think you can understand who emotionally draining it is to be unable to 
solve difficult health problems.  There is a nice editorial in this week's 
Annals of Internal Medicine that compares published criticism of the Lancet 
homeopathy meta-analysis to the more muted criticisms of drug company sponsored 
RCTs. 

  I am not sure what to do when patients ask for referrals to alt providers.  I 
work in a multi-specialty group and one of my partners has recently completed 
an accupuncture course.  There are two physicians in the group who will 
recommend questionable diets, Great Smoky Mtns Lab tests, and make questionable 
diagnoses.  On two occasions I have sent "worried well" patients who were 
verbally abusive to me about "Western medicine" to these physicians.  I don't 
know what else to do.  I do refer patients who ask for chiropractor referrals 
to PT, but that's easy because insurance will always cover the PT and that is 
an excellent sales point!  I innocently sent one patient to our rehab doc for 
his tendonitis, but he freaked out and left when the guy offered him 
accupuncture (I didn't know this MD was now performing it).  Now I am reluctant 
to send patients to the rehab specialist. 

  I personally recommend a number of "complementary" therapies: exercise, 
soluble fiber drinks (e.g. Metamucil), exercise, calcium supplements, exercise, 
physical therapy (in our area all PTs seem to perform craniosacral therapy), 
exercise, folate/B12/B6, exercise, enteric coated peppermint oil, and exercise. 

  Just for the record: (although it's not strictly health fraud) I make as much 
per hour as I made 8 years ago as an engineer. I make a higher total amount 
than I did 8 years ago, but work more hours.  I would easily make 33% more and 
work fewer hours at today's wages as a programmer.  My husband who is not a

Terry, great questions...

Terry, to a greater or lesser extent, yes, I believe particle size does
matter.  There is plenty of scientific data to suggest it ( I don't have
anything handy at the moment, but I'll start looking ), although the data is
not specific to silver itself.  Bioavailability is the greatest issue.
There is little doubt that any "decent" colloidal silver will be effective
to a certain degree - WHERE it reaches.  Now, how the body deals with CS, I
think is still very much in question.  It has been measured how small a
"particle" must be for sublingual adsorption, for instance.  Ionic
substances ( as long as they remain ionic ) are more bioavailable than
non-ionic substances, so I think the question is far more important when
considering particle silver.  When I find some references, I will forward
them.

For instance, according to a recent material datasheet I was reviewing,
over-exposure to silver particles in the lungs can cause lung damage and
pulmonary edema.  Therefore, it is a wise consideration to apply caution.

The reason for the caution here is one of common sense.  Isolate any
variables as much as possible, so one knows what they ARE making.  I know of
quite a few silver compounds that are easy to "accidently" make.  I'm
certain there are many possible  complex compounds one can create which
haven't been studied at all concerning health effects.

AgBr
AgI
AgCl
AgOh
AgNO3

Now, these are very simple chemical combinations that are easy to predict.
If one wants to make these, it is far less expensive to buy them directly in
bulk - if you find a wholesale supplier or manufacturer, it can even be
cheaper than making colloidal silver.  Silver Bromide is not toxic, unless
one considers Bromide as an undesireable substance in the body in excess
 which I do ).  Silver Iodide is certainly a beneficial substance, but I
wouldn't want to drink it as a part of diet.  Silver Nitrate is the big
kicker, and I think it is worth taking pains to try to avoid its production.

When one spikes their water with salts, one creates an abundance of Silver
Chloride.  Why would one want to do this on purpose?  The primary object
here is to create a substance which contains pure silver, in a form that can
be used in the body, and a form which is effective for treating conditions
of health.  Again, if one is wanting compounds, it can be cheaper to just
buy the compounds rather than making them via the electrolysis process.  The
common sense is to create the desired product using the desired method.  The
electrolysis process was designed ( in our case ) to try and create pure
silver.

On the other hand, I would not hesitate to even use tap water if I did not
have distilled water available.  I personally would never use such a
substance long term, simply because the long term effects are unknown.  I
believe I can prove that silver is toxic, even electro-colloidal silver, if
used in a certain manner ( which isn't drinking it ).  I can consistantly
reproduce negative symptoms when using a nebulizer, and treatments are done
excessively over a 72 hour period.  It is one of the things I am studying.
The symptoms are very short term, and subside rapidly, I believe BECAUSE
silver is not being used in a form that remains in the body for long
 reference Roger Altman's excellent toxicity study ).  The toxicity is very
similiar to garlic.  Skin oils are changed, the nervous system is definitely
affected, and a rash can be induced.  These manifestations are not negative
in themselves, I have come across similiar reactions with other substances.
The fact remains that a toxic reaction is provoked.  These reactions are not
of a concern to me, since they can be harnessed, used as a diagnostic tool,
and can indicate when a maximum dose has been achieved.  But I, for one,
would feel incredibly uncomfortable if I was pumping the lungs full of
excess silver compounds, of the unknown variety.

Over the next few days I'm going to organize the FAQ suggestions I've

willing to make an attempt to draft answers to those FAQs that fall under their 
area of expertise.

To eliminate the possibility of anyone becoming offended, NO PROPOSED FAQ 
answer will be published to the list. Instead, all proposed answers should be 
sent back to me for editing. After that, I will post ANONYMOUSLY each FAQ 
answer for final review by the entire List, and incorporate additional 
suggestions that make sense. Keep in mind that brevity will be an important 
factor. So some useful information cannot always be included.

In order to get the best answers, I'm going to need help from two groups of 
people. The first group of volunteers will write the first draft of answers. 
Let me know what are your areas of expertise. Ideally, the second group would 
have the broadest knowledge of CS, and would help me finalize and edit each 
answer after getting additional suggestions from the entire list. So please 
identify which group you are volunteering for. BTW, I see no problem in being 
in both groups as long as you are editing FAQs that you DID NOT help write.

OK, I'm open to receive volunteers. The more people we have helping the 
better the final product, and the faster we can get it out to the newbies.

Re: CS>List Management Redux... Please Read

2001-10-05 Thread A.V.R.A.
I do have some extra bandwidth available in the event that a FAQ needs 
hosting...  In fact, I could set it up so that the url would be something like 
this:

http://silverlistfaq.u4l.com

this would redirect the link to the faq, which would presumably actually be:  
http://silverdata.20m.com/silverfaq.html

I could also add URL cloaking, so that visitors ( who are not technically savy 
) would only ever see the silverlistfaq.u4l.com ( and not the 
silverdata.20m.com ).

I pay for my webhosting, which includes a very nice set of tracking statistics 
that are available as well.  Of course, the FAQ would be formatted in html 
only, so that any type of OS/computer/system could view it without difficulty.  
Currently, my site utilizes Flash 5 and dhtml ( the problems I've been working 
out are one reason it's been awhile since we've done an update ).  I have 
plenty of space, and could even dedicate 50 megs to such a project.

I could also format the document in both .txt and .doc, and have these files 
available to download for printing or use offline.

The server I use is high speed, so there would be no inconvenient lag as well.

  I'd be glad to host it on my website and have it on anyone elses website too, 
of course. But probably better, one of the free website available, placed there 
and updated by a non vendor so that a vendor could link to it if they wanted. 
It's not hard.
  The page must be non edited if hosted on a vendor website...like, no added 
comments etc.
  A vendor could defend his product on his own website, at the risk of 
appearing 'pissy', especially if it is done by cutting another down...no way to 
control that.

  There was a website at www.colloidal-silver.com that promised to do an 
evaluation every month...but never evaluated anything but Robey even though 
several vendors sent samples to be evaluated [I for one with no results 
what-so-ever]... and the site had a manufacturers resource listing but it was 
completely co-opted by Robey..turned worthless for comparative value.
  Alas, It could have been good and had a high search engine rating too. 
[probably because of all the other sites that linked to it]

Re: CS>Fwd: [healthfraud] Computer Viruses

2001-10-03 Thread A.V.R.A.
Yes Roger, it is true and has been for some time.

As far as I know, every single web-based virus and e-mail based viruses that 
use active X controls and loopholes in the windows explorer program, can be 
fixed by downloading the patch directly from microsoft.  When one stumbles upon 
these kind of viruses, they still infect the computer, but they are unable to 
execute the commands that make a virus a virus... including replication.

Many of the viruses will mask themselves with confusion.  If you accidently 
click on a link, a "million" windows will open up, and you may not even see the 
"downloading" message on the screen.  These sites often include multiple 
exploit attempts, many of which require user input to perform.  Watch those 
little boxes that pop with "Yes" and "No" action prompts.  I've STILL seen the 
virus out there, where if you click "yes" to download and auto-install 
software, the virus will wait until activity on your computer subsides, and 
then attempt to dial out of the country on your modem.  There are lots of 
tricks out there, most of them can be satisfactorily handled by simply paying 
attention.

Re: CS>List Management Redux... Please Read

2001-10-03 Thread A.V.R.A.
Coyote:

I've been building a standard for the Colloidal Silver Database Website for
quite some time.  While it has certainly been an enjoyable project ( and
this will result in a vendor awards page on our website ), very few actually
qualify for consideration.

You have to be VERY careful when undertaking a list-sponsored project -
there are many aspects to consider.

Some of the guidelines I've developed...

Authenticity of information displayed on website from the public's
viewpoint.  In our view, even if an incredible "fact" is true, if 80% of
visitors to a website leave with a bad impression, than this hurts colloidal
silver as a whole.  Presentation and authenticity is a must.  Perception
rules the world, not truth, and the gateway to truth must address
perspectivity.

Vendor Bashing - If any vendor says their product is the best, without
substantial documentation, reasoning, and CLASS, they are not considered.
Life is governed by dynamics, and these dynamics must be considered if
benefit to the people is truly the motive.

Component Quality and design consideration - Regardless of the simplicity of
the device ( or the complexity ), rather than choosing one process over
another ( this takes the choice out of the public's hands ), consideration
is given to design and quality.  Anything below 18 gauge silver is not
considered, because a vendor, being a "professional", should be able to
achieve a higher standard, and pass this on to customers.  Preferred are
rods, because there is a signficant quality difference, and it certainly
increases the happiness of the end user.  Balancing this with cost vs. sale
price is considered as well.  If someone is charging a fortune for colloidal
silver ( relatively speaking ) they better be supporting a full lab.

Consideration of Legal Pursuits - Although I admire the mavericks that
recklessly charge forth against the current regimes, because of their
well-founded passion, this is not necessarily in the public's best interest.
If a vendor breaks the law, he'd better fully explain his/her actions, and
fully outline what the law supposedly requires of him/her.  That way, 80% of
the visitors don't end up carrying a resentment when they get an education.
If a site still carries the "pre-1938" clause on their site, not only do I
question their commitment to their products, but also their commitment to
responsible honesty.

Singleness of Purpose - Many vendors sell so many products they can't
possibly keep informed.  While I don't view this as bad, it is the pursuit
of excellence that that pushes things beyond current limits.  It is our
intention to support these types of people.  If multiple products are
carried, an extensive section outlining their colloidal silver views is
required.

Answering Correspondence - Even in light of the current world structure, we
still believe in personalized customer service, especially in matters of
health.

Turning over such an endevour to a commitee is a very poor idea.  Commitee =
Politics.  No committee is necessary if a clear, concise, and posted set of
principles is used to gauge qualifications.  The audience will make any
discrepencies cleaer, if given enough information.  An auditor can soley be
responsible for addressing suggestions and complaints.  If one has problems
with subjective requirements, then one can set up a blind democracy of
parties whom have NO interest in colloidal silver, and a full-vote can be
taken to determine grey areas.

Strategies for Integrity ( as I call them ) is a wonderful area of thought.
There is incredible room for growth in such managements.

CS>Colloidal Silver & List

2001-10-02 Thread A.V.R.A.
Things are beginning to feel good Mike et al...  Adversity can do that -
polarize change, and hopefully toward the primary purpose!

For the new people on the list, and the ones that have always been there:

I've been studying colloidal silver for roughly three years now.  When I
started, I had a small amount of information which I had no choice but to
accept as solid and definative, having only limited sources of information
and a limited time in which to act.  The colloidal silver list, upon
discovery, took all of my absolutes and turned them into doubts.  This
turned out to be a great thing due to the fact that I chose to accept a
fundamental truth ( which had more than adequately been demonstrated
personally ) and weather through the doubts that had been raised in my own
mind.  The fundamental truth was the undisputable fact that colloidal silver
had health-impacting benefits.  The doubts had to do with processes of
creation, safety, dosage levels, the efficacy against specific afflictions,
and the way colloidal silver works in the body.

This is the place I found where I could watch, learn, and trust that those
involved had a purity of purpose, and that purpose was shared, despite,
because of, or irregardless of financial, moral, political, or spiritual
motives and preferences.  All similiarities past this point?  There were
none universal to all.  And that is the exact gift that this list presents
to those who choose to view.  I have seen two other colloidal silver lists,
and they do not compare, not in the least, to this list.  I subscribe to
well over 20 lists, and most, frankly, are near worthless.  Why?  Because
most of the information shared on the others are readily found in other
places, and the listers simply pass this information back and forth, and
perhaps boast a few experts, who seldom have the time to fully expound upon
their formulations.  Often, the "passed on" information is not fully
adsorbed by the persons passing it on, and errors often result - time
consuming errors.  Personal testimonials can be found, and yet, one can find
testimonials to almost anything - and in abundance! - anywhere on the net,
and at personal convenience.

Many people seek effectiveness, but few have learned the value of seeking
understanding.  Many people seek answers, but fewer have been taught the
value of seeking different questions.  Many people seek to challenge, but
few really pursue the truth over the thrill of the power of contention, or
the power of being right.

That's what makes this list so different.  1) It contains extraordinary
diversity that is often so involved in the positive ( even if the "positive"
comes out with an unpolished expression once in awhile ) that it forgets
that many in normal walks of life would not associate with each other,
having met in the real world.  2)  It possesses a pool of talent that is
willing to spend YEARS dedicated to a SINGLE subject, and openly share their
experiences, sometimes as if it were their personal journal.  3)  A
flexibility that can only be found under wise management, a tolerant
membership, and an environment that dares to accept challenges.

Nearly every single one of us agrees that if one starts from the very
basics, one is light years ahead of the general population.  If you are new,
hold on to that one concept.  There is no risk, and there is everything to
gain.  Nearly every one of us agrees that there are significant questions
that have not been answered satisfactorily.  That, indeed, is a measure of
the lists honesty.  This list has not degraded into a social club, nor has
it succumbed to cultish behavior.

Having said that there are questions which remain unanswered, I'd like to
qualify that safety of use is not one of them, provided your colloidal
silver is made in lower concentrations OR via the electrolysis method.
That's not to say that other types of colloidal silver ARE harmful, only
that there are questions that remain unanswered.  This means that you have
time to explore for yourself the many facets of colloidal silver as a beginn
er.

Now for some experience:

I found colloidal silver with less than twenty dollars to my name, and a
loved one dying in the hospital, with everyone powerless to stop it.  I
spent countless hours day in and day out researching any possible treatment
that I could somehow apply to a hospital setting where I had no real power.
I wrote research institutions getting no return response.  Then I found
colloidal silver.  I located the only supplier in the area that carries
higher grade silver, and proceeded to make the simple nine-volt battery
generator with two silver 18 gauge wires in 8 ounces of distilled water.  I
created and drank about 1 liter myself to see if I would keel over.  When I
didn't, I made 16 ounces, and snuck it into the hospital in an blue glass
Arizona Ice Tea bottle.

My situation was a blessing in disguise.  My loved one had not eaten in over
twenty days ( probably closer to thirty ).  I

I have not commented on your chemistry equation because frankly it has been

  Ken: 

  You said, "And dissolved oxygen/ozone, some nitrates, CO2 and such are always 
present to some small degree to account for being able to go over the limit a 
bit." 

  My calculations clearly indicate that this conclusion is false. Professor 
Maass arrived at an incorrect conclusion because he initiated his calculations 
at an incorrect starting point. The CORRECT starting point is to ASSUME that a 
typical LVDC product is in equilibrium with air, and the pH of the CS product 
is representative of this TOTAL equilibrium (This is how I INITIATED my earlier 
calculations). THEN you set up your RELEVANT equations and solve them. 

  I would love to conduct a tutorial about how to determine the solubility of 
ionic silver in a typical LVDC product. At the moment I feel totally frustrated 
that not one person on this list knows what the hell I'm talking about. Any 
thoughts about how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated. Roger

I'm sorry you have such a hard time.  It has never been difficult for me to
convince anyone of the benefits, and a clear understanding ( although a
limited understanding ) of how colloidal silver is beneficial, nor has it
been difficult to demonstrate with even the most rudimentary CS setup.
Throw the neophyte into a subject, and act as a guide.  I don't view such
people as initiates, because that implies that there is a complete body of
knowledge ( to the letter ) that is has ben passed on in entirety ( thus the
person is initiated, and no longer suseciptible to false ideas, and has a
complete command over the material at hand ).  Some people make up words,
other people misuse them, such is the way of life.  People have managed to
survive in the world without a mind-policeman so far.

I'm sorry you don't see the benefits of hydrogen peroxide for use with
colloidal silver, DMSO or even Gatorade.  The testimonials that you've
shared with the list ( I'm sure all would agree ) are valueable additions.

I'm glad your customers have a positive experience with your product.  You

On my sites, I generate thousands upon thousands of hits, and I do it with
almost no capital.  I could increase that number ten-fold, viritually
overnight, by offering to sell SOMEthing ( even T-shirts ).  People are
generally more inclined to buy than to reach to understand.  The idea of
purchasing generates its own energy in our modern world.  This is a well
studied phenominon.

As far as colloidal silver goes, I talk with many customers that are
purchasers of vendor products on this list, as well as doctors, chemists,
electricians, engineers, and the general public.  One usually finds our
website when they seek balance, and a broader understanding of the
controversies at hand ( which they seldom ever get from any one particular
vendor ).  I treat each one as if they are an intelligent person capable of

...Not only that, but it is literally impossible to treat a part without
influencing the whole.

It is worthy to consider that colloidal silver rarely treats a cause.In
many cases, the causes for ailments lie in an overtaxed immune system.
Colloidal silver works excellent in these cases, because when effective, it
supports the immune system.  In ideal situations, the immune system recovers
quickly, and the problem is irradicated.

In other cases, like the gentleman with the dandruff problem, colloidal
silver can eliminate the manifestation of symptoms, and do it ( it is my
strong presumption ) without suppressing the symptoms ( if one is dropping
the count of bacteria/viri/funi one is not supressing a natural body
function to achieve results ).

Antibiotics can be wonderful.  It is, however, erroneous to presume they
treat the whole body.  An unavoidable effect can hardly be viewed as a
"treatment".  Something which treats the whole body has a positive effect on
the whole body, such as a sea salt bath.  It has been proven that treating
the mind and the emotional body also greatly assists the healing process.

I remember reading the true story of an Australian who spent months begging
one of his professors to begin I.V. adminstration of colloidal silver.  The
professor at first refused to take this type of responsibility.  The
individual was HIV positive with "full blown" AIDS.  As his condition
deteriorated, the Professor reportedly finally gave in.  The treatment,
evidently, was highly successful ( the CS used was from an Australian lab,
ionic silver ).

My point here is not about the treatment of HIV via a high quality silver
product.  The point is that first, the patient's mind had to be treated, in
this case, by himself.  Only the mind doubts.  A state of doubt seldom leads
to perseverance.  Certainty, even if misplaced, always leads to very unique
places.  We used to train in what we called Certainty without Expectation.
Certainty, in this light, is ONLY a method of travel for the mind.

The professor's heart needed a dose of treatment.  The question?  Can a
convinced mind stand up to watching, slowly, a dear person die in agony?  In
this case, no.

Re: CS>Biological, chemical and nuclear warfare

One thing to keep in mind is that I don't usually a powder, unless I'm
testing a manufacturer's processed bentonite.  I use the raw stuff directly
from a subterranean vein, which is almost in rock form.

When using the powder, it's best to start with hot water added to a large
glass container ( this simply makes mixing a bit easier ).  Then, add the
equivalent of 1 tablespoon of bentonite power per 8 ounces of water, as a
minimum amount.  Mix thoroughly.  After time, with such little bentonite in
the water, the bentonite may settle toward the bottom of the container.  It
is a simple matter to remix the sol in a time of need ( by simply aggitating
the container ).  However, if one continues to add more bentonite,
tablespoon by tablespoon, there will come a point when the solutions becomes
uniform - a point where settling will not occur, and yet the product is
still aqueous.  This is ideal, and the exact point where the crystalline
properties of clay begin to be harnessed.  Each clay is a bit different,
some requiring more and some requiring less water to achieve this state.

However, if one has never used bentonite internally, it is best to use
bentonite diluted until the body adjusts to its use.

Of course, the highest quality water is always desireable.  Still, there is
no reason not to use tap water, or even colloidal silver.

Speaking of which, I'm still puzzled as to exactly how healing clays and
colloidal silver work together, but there is no longer any doubt in my mind
that they work together well.

For instance, cold sores, I have found, are eliminated more than 50% more
rapidly than with healing clay alone, or colloidal silver alone ( both
solutions work days faster than the best OC drug on today's market ).  In
fact, if treated within the first six hours or so of noticeable
manifestation, they can be arrested within the first few hours of treatment,
and be eliminated by the next day ( a key note is not to allow the
bentonite/silver magma dry, for this can cause needless tissue irritation,
with no added benefit ).

The base substance of bentonite clay ( which in reality comes nowhere near
the actual natural substance ) is Al2 SiO5.  Upon hydration, bentonite
becomes negatively charged.  Theoretically, it is my supposition that ionic
silver would be sorpted to the wide surface areas of the clay, and exchanged
later when the clay comes in contact with other organic matter ( as this
organic matter is also sorpted ).  However, this is only a theory, and
chemists who specialize in layer charge characteristics, and other
specialties specific to crystalline/clay substances are rather hard to come
by!

CS>Biological, chemical and nuclear warfare

2001-09-19 Thread A.V.R.A.
Greetings, all...

I am by no means an expert in chemical or biological warfare.  The thought
alone simply defies description, although I have no doubt that humanity is
capable of developing a substance that would successfully thwart all efforts
for recovery.  However, dealing with the present concerns, it is unlikely
that such a wicked substance - if one type could be described more wicked
than another - would be deployed.  Ideally, this suggests that victims of
such misfortune may have a chance to recover.

I was hesistant to write this email for several reasons.  First and
foremost, I have no direct data to support my ideas.  In fact, few do, since
it is technically against international law to test such weapons ( and
therefore any efficacy of a treatment ) on humans.  This is a good thing, no
doubt.  Secondly, a strong background is undoubtedly required to use these
ideas with confidence and responsibility.

To attempt to find a justification for my ideas, I did a bit of research,
trying to find any correlating data.  Surprisingly, I found two references
that lend credence to my ideas.

In the  of Molecular Toxicology 12:  11-15, Zhai, H., D.J.
Bubbras, et al. report that quaternium-18 bentonite gel acts as a
protectant, and significantly decreased levels of sodium Lauryl Sulfate in
skin tissues.  This was taken from Strategies to Protect the Health of
Deployed U.S. Forces: Force Protection and Decontamination (2000) by the
Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems.  Presumably, Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate mimicks some of the key properties of biological and/or chemical
agents.  Ironically, I also learned that bentonite can be used as a carrier
for spores in biological warfare, which clearly demonstrates the two
distinct and opposite characteristics of the same substance.

Also, taken from the Dennis J. Reimer Training and Doctrine Digital Library
( United States Army ):

Bentonite is listed as a primary counter-measure for livestock in the event
of a nuclear disaster.  The suggested dose listed for a cow was 300 grams.

Water purification via silver ( and other ) filtration devices is a great
idea.  Ingesting colloidal silver in larger quantities when a direct risk is
present is also undoubtedly  a great idea.  That this protection alone is
insufficient, especially in the face of chemical or nuclear warfare, is
clear.

Seconds count.  Let me describe:

About four weeks ago, stumbling around one morning, I poured my morning
coffee into a coffee cup that contained ( estimated ) 50 ml of bleach.  I
sat down at my computer to check email, and took a few very generous
swallows.  I just about threw myself out of my chair gagging.  Instantly I
jumped up and ran to the cubbard where I keep an ample supply of clay water.
I drank almost a liter.  By the time I returned to my chair, the sense of
needing to vomit had passed.  Three minutes later, all queasiness had left,
and I never gave it a second thought - I just returned to my business at
hand.  While the amount of bleach I had consumed was hardly life
threatening, I knew that the bentonite would protect my stomach and safely
evacuate the bleach with no further action needed.

In the event of over-exposure to toxic substances where an individual is
unable to take immediate action, several serious concerns must be addressed
when using bentonite.  The strength of the individual is of paramount
concern.  Bentonite used externally with extremely weakened individuals can
theoretically be lethal, especially considering the extent of treatment that
is required ( and as soon as possible ).  The body can enter a state of
shock, and the functions of the body can be arrested rather than stimulated.

The Gerson Institute ( among others ) successfully employs a very safe and
effective protocol using external clay to stimulate the body's natural
elimination facilities, in treatment of such severe conditions as pancreatic
cancer.  A cheese-cloth dressing is used, and a very thin strip of clay is
added to the dressing, and this is applied to the liver as a poultice with
the hydrated clay side up and left on for no more than four hours.

This is a highly conservative approach, no doubt developed for people who
are too weak to even walk.

Another suggestion is to employ sea salt and clay in hot baths - hot to
tolerance.  Although a standard recommendation of one cup of sea salt and
one cup of bentonite per bath is often recommended, this is not nearly
enough bentonite to use in a crisis situation.  More like 40 to 50 cups of
bentonite - an inconvenient proposition in the light of modern plumbing, yet
a good thing to keep in mind.  The body is submerged in this bath for as
long as a person can tolerate it.  The longest I've come in contact with is
a treatment that lasted three days, although it was only one leg being
treated, and a plastic garbage container was used ( nothing else was readily
available ).

However, the amount of DEAs and similiar substances that the average person
exposes to their body on a daily basis is hudreds of times more than the
diluted cream after it is made.  Not shampooing the hair one day that one
normally would makes up for the "increased" exposure by far.  Not to
discount your points, because they are extremely valid.  That's why I
referred to the biotone as a lesser of evils.  That's also one reason why I
don't sell a cream.  I would use jojoba oil, which is my favorite massage
oil of choice, but it frankly doesn't work.  It works great for massage and
as a standard carrier, but performs extremely poorly where dermal infections
are concerned.  I cannot stress the fact enough that one does not want any
substance sitting on top of the skin unless one has a specific reason for
it.  What you do to see how things really work, is you strip-clean the skin
of it's natural balancing oils, and then you see what these products really
do.

The best creams in the world, that I have found, come in very, very small
containers where a half-ounce is a six month supply.  I worked with an
Australian Botanist a few years ago who developed the most extraordinary
cream ( coined Omnicron ).  Although he did receive USP approval, our US
government told him to never put it on the common market, that he would be
permitted to sell it underground only.  This after a fight about disclosure
of how the cream was made.  The prime principle of this particular cream was
developed after the botonist spent six months in the mojave desert studying
a very rare cactus which thrived in environments where there was NO
rainfall.  The cream used NO hydrating additives.  Instead, it pulled pure
water in minute quanties from the surrounding air.  It is possible that the
government was interested in the cream for defense projects.  During the
period where he was being harrassed, we had to grant him safe solace on a
private peice of property where the arms of these particular thugs could not
reach ( it should be noted, however, that this botonist had little to no
diplomatic disposition, although in the end I really don't think that should
matter ).

I don't think I will ever be able to re-develop that exact cream, but I
strive to apply the principles I've learned through the experience.

It should be stated, however, that all my own personal work is geared toward
allowing a person to freely operate in the world without great fear of every
substance one touches.  If the body is restored to optimal functionality,
then one has little fear of more common environmental exposures.  If one's
body is not in optimal condition, no amount of careful practices beyond the
absolute extreme will prevent the body from adsorbing these substances which
consequently will do harm.  If one has to think about their healthcare every
moment of the day, then one is only a slave ( this, speaking, for the
average person and not those on special programs to combat specific
disease ).  Today's world is what it is.  Perhaps the world of the future
will be a more favorable place, it is something worth working towards.

The greatest successes I've had is where a problem is identified, dealt
with, eliminated, and the person can get back to LIFE, without another
thought about the condition, but perhaps with a bit more consciousness
awareness of how nature and the world works.

But fear, in any form, is the great killer of spirit.

Tel:

Are you referring to bentonite powder?

Indeed, I have found an extraordinary amount of success using healing clays
with psorasis.  In fact, on a list dedicated to the condition, I volunteered
at one point to completely fund a private study, contrasting the
effectiveness of a standard 325 mesh industrial grade bentonite with a
healing grade clay. I was certain that both would yield favorable results if
used correctly, yet was highly interested in trying to determine the true
quality difference, and modifying the treatment in cases where no clear
effect was experienced.

Par for the course?

Only two people were interested in participating.

Sometimes the paradox of life is truely amazing.  On a constant basis, we
turn down requests from individuals willing to pay top dollar for a high
quality clay.  And on the other hand, I can't give it away to a targeted
group of people for a study!

( incidently, it was later determined that such a study should be done on a
local basis ).

Eventually we'll get some of this stuff done.

Re: CS>Athletes foot

2001-09-14 Thread A.V.R.A.
Thank you all for your interest in the cream.  Sadly, I do not nor cannot sell 
any products at this time.  It REALLY is not difficult to produce.  Biotone 
cream can usually be purchased from a massage resale store ( make sure to get 
the cream and not the oil ).  When acquiring essential oils, make sure that 
they are pure, and if at all possible not extracted using alcohol.

Terry, I'm sorry to hear about the sensitivity to the biotone cream, it is 
rare.  Keep in mind ( for yourself ) that there is a big difference between 
using biotone cream straight and biotone cream as a base.  The developed end 
product is extremely watery - moreso than the average soup.  An ounce of the 
final product can last a month, even if used daily for the hands and face.  A 
"drop" is placed on the finger and massaged into the skin - this process is 
repeated for a uniform "coat".  For the feet, it is lightly coated on.

My choice for the biotone cream is currently a default choice.  It's the lesser 
of the "evils" that I've tested.  I needed to develop a cream that did not 
promote the spread of bacteria 20 minutes after application as it began to 
break down, one that did not clog pores nor overly irritate the skin ( the 
essential oils are a very light irritant when used properly, but the effect 
subsides about three minutes after application as the essential oils are 
adsorbed and is part of the desired effect ), and one did not just sit on top 
of the skin and attract dirt ( which in turn irritates the skin which in turn 
creates a favorable environment for bacteria ).

The finest formula I've been able to develop I cannot currently create due to 
cost of raw materials.  The prime emulsifying and binding agent is chitosan, 
the secondary ingredient is real crushed pearls - possibly with some natural 
moss used for thickness.  It, of course, is imperative that the end formula be 
created without the use of heat, which rules out all of the "common" agents, 
even if they WERE desireable agents.  Even the really fine oils such as olive 
oil, jajoba, almond and grapeseed, all tend to have less than desireable 
effects after being on the skin for an extended period of time ( when dealing 
with incredibly sensitive skin ).

Biotone cream does have a fragrance from the essential oils and plant extracts 
that are used.

Futhermore, my original design ideas had to fullfill the prerequisite of the 
substance being able to be applied under makeup.  The people I worked with at 
the time were serious public performers who constantly dealt with skin problems 
due to the high amount of makeup that the profession requires be applied.  

Although I did not succeed to my satisfaction at that time, later work with 
extremely severe adult onset acne placed me in a catch 22 position.  With 
intensive healing clay treatments, I could pull much of the infection out of 
the skin in a relatively short period of time.  However, a byproduct of using 
too much clay to the face ( over and over again during the day ), is the 
dehydration of the skin, which in turn creates the ideal environment for the 
bacteria to reinfect the tissues.  The treatment of both boils and cysts is not 
rapid, and skin infections of these types tend to be cyclic.  Because of this 
problem, the best I could achieve  was extreme reduction in pain and a gradual 
cessation of the condition, with the infection losing hold a bit more after 
each cycle ( all these in situations where it was not possible to do two to 
three clay packs daily because of circumstances ).

Re: CS>Athletes foot

2001-09-13 Thread A.V.R.A.
Terry et al:

A possible explanation for the occurence of athletes foot under these
circumstances can be derived from a principle of natural medicine.  A
phenomenon often called the "exteriorization" of symptoms/illness is quite
often a byproduct of truly natural therapy, which seeks not to suppress a
condition but to release it.  One thing that is often affected is the
acid/basic balance of the body when one undergoes any type of internal
cleansing.  Many people believe that fungal conditions thrive when the body
becomes overly acidic.

In my own experience, I've seen lesions, rashes, immense swelling and severe
( albeit temporary ) flulike symptoms, depending on the initial conditions
being addressed.  Thankfully, these exteriorizations usually depart, never
to return, upon successful treatment of the initial problem ( when they were
never present to begin with ).

For atheletes foot and other skin conditions of fungal origin, and for skin
that for one reason or another becomes dry but not oily, I developed the
following formula ingredients:

I use biotone cream as a cream base, and dilute it about 100% - 300%
 sometimes more and sometimes less, depending on skin condition ) with
colloidal silver ( I run long batches for external use to increase the
amount of actual silver particle content ).  I add various pure essential
oils to the blend depending on the use.  For athletes foot, I certainly
include eucalyptus, and I use myrrh and frankincense in all blends.  Tee
trea essential oil is a fantastic addition, although both tee trea oil and
eucalyptus oil can really only be used in extreme moderation for any part of
the body BUT the feet.  The idea is to create a cream that is extremely
dilute and that doesn't sit on top of the skin.  In order for a blend to be
successful in my book, one applies the cream, waits about three minutes, and
washes the hands in hot water.  No cream should be sitting on the skin, and
yet the soft fragrance of the essential oils should still be evident.

Unfortunately, the cream works so well on severe athletes foot - providing
extremely rapid relief - that I haven't been able to get anyone to keep
applying it long enough to see if it would eradicate the condition
completely.  I don't believe per se that athletes foot can be CURED via
external means alone, since I believe it is symptomatic of conditions in the
body which must be remedied.

Re: CS>To A.V.R.A. on bentonite

2001-09-12 Thread A.V.R.A.
Dear Stephen:

That is an excellent concern, one which I don't believe has been dealt with
to my COMPLETE satisfaction, but one which none-the-less can be dealt with
successfully despite concerns.

I believe it was UCLA that performed studies on how bentonite taken
internally affected the "good" bacteria count as well as the "bad" bacteria
count that resides in the intenstines, and this is the only scientific model
I'm aware of that even addresses sorption rates in the body at a scientific
level.  However, the conclusions derived from the study provide some clues
as to how bentonite works in the digestive system.

First and foremost, let's address the surface area of hydrated clay
particles and consider the amount of clay that is ingested to achieve good
results.  The average gram of clay has a surface area of 400 to 800 square
meters.  While it is true that bentonite is incredibly dense, and the
surface area of the particles is extraordinary, even 1000 grams of bentonite
would not be able to sorpt even a fraction of the nutrients in one meal.
Furthermore, bentonite acts against postively charged substances first and
foremost.  The clay will act first against radiation, then against toxic
substances in the body, primarily those substances that carry a postive
charge.  Furthermore, once clay reaches it's limit of adsorption ,the effect
is reversed, ie. the clay begins to eminate substances.  In fact, I believe
that there is always an exchange going on between clay and the body.

Second, clay, once it is no longer in a magma state, reacts differently.
It's "mass" sorption rate declines significantly, and it appears to act more
as a catalyst in the body.  Therefore, a clay fluid reacts very differently
even upon initial consumption then a clay gel or magma.

On a less scientific note, Weston Price drew the conclusion that clay
increases the body's ability to adsorb nutrients.  He drew this conclusion
from studying cultures that used clay as a daily part of their diet.
Whether in fact this is due to the cleansing and purifiying affect of clays,
or a whole combination of related actions in the body, is unknown.

What is certain is that beyond the digestive tract, clay does not leech
valueable vitamins and minerals from the body.  Of further note, Raymond
Dextreit, after 50 years of clinical research in natural medicine, has found
no indication that clay negatively affects the nutritional system, although
it CAN interfere with drugs being taken internally.

However, one can never be too careful in matters of health.  In the case
where an individual has severe dietary deficiencies, the way to minimize any
possible consequence is to begin taking clay internally at night, before
bed, when the body begins its cleansing cycle.  In the average person, even
clay used several times daily will not "get past" the liver for months, so
any concern of an effect outside the digestive tract is actually moot.
Start with a protocol of one tablespoon of clay powder in an eight ounce
glass of water.  With this amount of clay, even if clay were to attempt to
eliminate all of the vital nutrients in the diet, it would only suceed in
removing an unmeasurable amount.  And yet, almost paradoxially, acting as a
catalyst, even this small amount of clay will have a noticeable detoxifying
effect within 72 hours.

I hope these comments help!

Re: CS contraindications?

2001-09-04 Thread A.V.R.A.
Listers...

The only cited reference that really appears interesting is the 7th in the
list:

7.   Levine SA, Smith JA: Argyria confused with heart disease. N Eng I Med
226:682-684,1942, p. 682.

Although my guess would be that this reference is a citation for extremely
high doses of silver nitrate, it would be interesting to examine the
findings.

As far as I've been able to determine, ALL the nasal medications that were
"prescribed" were either silver proteins or silver nitrates.  I don't see
any obvious reference that would even remotely apply to "our" colloidal
silver on this list.  The very fact that both sides of the "story" are not
examined equally discounts the entire Rosemary story in my view.  I
personally have absolutely no respect for Rosemary's position, nor Rosemary
as a person.  Being single-minded is one thing.  Being single-minded in the
the spotlight of the public, intentionally misleading people, is
irresponsible and can be categorized as nothing more than pop journalism.
Rosemary has even stated that proof that colloidal silver doesn't work lies
in the fact that she, decades later, was diagnosed with breast cancer.  The
depth of ignorance knows no end!

Re: CS>Where to find 50 ppm......

2001-08-02 Thread A.V.R.A.
Forgive me if I am being presumptious Frank, but exactly how many people are
making pure particle silver solutions?  I'm aware of two people.  I've
always been incredibly interested in particle silver research. However, I've
seen no reports of efficacy, and the science I've seen ( that I've been able
to understand, not being a specialist in chemistry ) has been sloppy.

For example, the "scientific experiment" where ionic silver is added to
saliva and silver chloride is produces disproving protein adsorption of
ionic silver is borderline negligance.

I think you are being extremely unfair in stating that those using ionic
silver ignore the silver chloride issue.  The archives prove differently.  I
will remind you yet again that ionic silver products HAVE received FDA
approval, and there are a few companies spending an incredible amount of
money learning how to deliver ionic silver successfully into the body.
These same companies could far spend less money  learning how to deliver
particle silver into the body, yet the predominant viewpoint among silver
professionals is that ionic silver is ideal if there is a guarantee that the
ionic silver will reach the site of an infection.

I think that by taking the stance in the manner that you do, you not only
misrepresent the scientific ideals you apparently hold so highly, but also
do science itself an injustice.

Personally, I use a high particle concentration for external applications
because silver is silver, and higher concentrations externally have proven
 to me ) to be more effective with no added risk.  However, I'm working on a
simple method that will allow ionic silver to remain ionic for extended
periods of time.  In cases where this method is feasible, I will then opt
for a "more" ionic silver solution.

The majority of the work I've seen is a futile attempt to prove that ionic
silver does not work, and that particle silver is theoretically the better
alternative.  I've seen very little on the practical application of a pure
particle silver solution in the human body and what it can or cannot do.

The only thing that has stopped me from doing some clinical research on the
real efficacy of ionic silver is the fact that I don't have the equipment to
control ionic silver production to standards, nor do I have the funds to
purchase the colloidal silver at this time for use in such an endevour.

I would ask you to realize that your words have the potential to bring harm
to those people new to silver.  Having an extraordinary amount of respect
for scientific professionals, had I met you and heard your words about ionic
silver, my wife very well could be dead as the result.  Fortunately, I "met"
Lindeman instead.  Scientific ethics were developed to preserve the value of
science itself.  While it is true that every person must accept personal
responsibility for their choices, is it really your intention to bring
possible harm to others based on what is clearly some vendetta?

I have never seen a post where you describe how your colloidal silver has
actually worked against any condition.  Yet you criticize those who report
and are working to achieve a greater understanding through practical
application.  I think your theoretical base for the efficacy of particle
silver is excellent, and I always have.

Why not simply take your particle silver solution, put it to WORK, and let
the results speak for themselves?  Why not focus on the IS of your own work?

Re: CS not working on a leg infection

2001-06-18 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings Stephen...

Excellent suggestion using bentonite in the treatment.  I've been
researching healing clays for many years, and I have a few questions to
pose:

What is the purpose of the charcoal in the treatment, and do you know the
origin of using charcoal?

When using cayenne pepper ( something I have not done with healing clays )
do you notice an increase in tissue irritation?

That's an extremely wise combination that you've put together there.  I'd
like to remind others who are experimenting with healing clays to be
extremely cautious with additives when using bentonite and other haling
clayes.  When in doubt, it is wisest not to do it!

I'd certainly be interested in discussing healing clays further ( perhaps
off-list since it's off-topic ) Stephen...

Re: CS not working on a leg infection

2001-06-17 Thread A.V.R.A
Steve:

Treating a non-healing wound in a diabetic patient is not easy.  Spraying
colloidal silver on it is not usually going to do the trick.  Remember, the
primary issue we are dealing with is lack of oxygen to the wound site.  The
colloidal silver might be reducing the bacterial count on the surface
temporarily.  Once the silver is "deactivated", the infection simply
continues.

There are a number of ways to approach such an infection.  Most of them take
a good deal of work to implement.

One idea is to drink a large amount of colloidal silver several times daily.
I say idea because the effectiveness of this method is in question.  If
enough silver can be delivered via the blood to the site, this will have an
impact on the infection.  More importantly, it will help reduce the chance
that the infection enters the bloodstream.

Brooks also recently posted a method to simulate a hyperbaric treatment by
pressurizing a bag sealed over the appendage in question.  This treatment
forces oxygen into the tissues.

To use silver externally to assist in the infection two things must be
accomplished.  1)  The silver must reach the "seat" of the infection and 2)
the silver must maintain contact with the tissues long enough to continue to
reduce the bacterial count.

The wound type is important here.  Is it an open gaping wound?  What is the
diamater of the exposed tissue?  How deep is the wound?

Spraying the colloidal silver on the wound, or even soaking a dressing and
applying it to the wound would be largely ineffective if the wound is deep.

While it is encouraging that your friend's MD recognizes the benefit of
silver as an infection fighting agent, Silvadine ( Silver Sulfadiazine ) is
primarily used to prevent infections on exposed tissue, such as a severe
burn or a skin graft donor site.  The cream is also unlikely to reach the
root of a deep infection.

If the infection has become septic,

Re: CS>Silver Cream

2001-06-12 Thread A.V.R.A
I should do a PH test  I think I will next time I shop ( need strips ).
Under normal circumstances, it is not appararent that colloidal silver is an
irritant.  That however, in my personal experience, is inconclusive.  As
long as the skin is in relatively healthy condition, the irritation is not
apparent and most likely completely inconsequential.  However, find someone
with incredibly sensitive skin ( who cannot normally place such things as
creams on, say, their face without adverse consequences ) and the signs
become apparent.  Infection growth becomes rapid within two hours of
colloidal silver application, because the benefits of the silver are long
gone and the irritation of the tissues is conducive to bacterial infection.

How purely particle silver responds I do not know, except by the reports
from the company that manufactures Silvadine.  "Large" amounts of silver on
the body in cream form over long periods of time is contra-indicated.  Of
course, their silver is in a compound form, and is ( if I remember from the
container ) measured in grams.

If one REALLY wants to see the effect of colloidal silver on sensitive skin,
then one can severely dehydrate the face and then apply it.  Many creams
made with silver have the same effect ( partially due to the nature of the
ingredients in the creams ).

Although I am certainly not a chemist, I did work for quite awhile for a
major US cosmetics company ( same company that manufactures Redkin
products ) whereby I learned more than I ever wanted too about the real
effect of skin/body cosmetics.

My philosophy is that if you really want to see how a "product" works, you
must test it at the extremes.  A good cream, for instance, will work fine on
the most sensitive skin.  However, there really is NOT a good cream on the
common market.  Why?  Because a good cream is against the law ( perhaps a
slight overstatement ).  In order to market a good cream, one must comply
with standards, and the standards force companies to use ingredients that
are not beneficial or spend a whole lot of money proving their methods work,
which is certainly not justified given the level of public awareness and
increased ingredient cost.

The key is to 1) not drug the skin 2) not preserve the skin  3) not drench
the skin.

If the PH balance of the silver I'm using is "off", it's now a price I'm
willing to pay for the benefit.  Whatever the cause, the Biotone cream base
has solved the problem.  I've used things such as Aloe Vera, exotic ( and
expensive ) base oils, honey, and much more, with results that were usually
good but nowhere near the prime quality I've been trying to achieve.

Perhaps it was a error to say that silver itself is a skin irritant.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that the process of using colloidal
silver on the skin can be a skin irritant.

CS>Silver Cream

2001-06-12 Thread A.V.R.A
I've been playing around with creating various silver-rich creams for about
two years now.  While I have found some combinations that work fairly well,
I have been dissatisfied with any end result I've been able to achieve -
until now.

The primary problem with skin care creams is how they are adsorbed, what
part of them is and is NOT adsorbed, and the actual ingredients that do get
adsorbed.  Most non-medical creams are only antibacterial for a very short
time after application.  Many marketed skin care creams actually dry the
skin out, although as long as you apply the cream it appears as if the skin
is well cared for.

Another problem is the method of creation.  Some nice creams can be made,
but the process requires applying a great deal of heat to combined
ingredients, something I've been trying to avoid ( so I can use high quality
essential oils in the formulas ).  I have designed one cream that is
exceptional.  However, the cost of the ingredients is astronomical.
Designing a creme without mineral oil or unnatural binders is quite an
interesting experience!

My goal in working with colloidal silver and cream was simply to find a
"healthy" cream that can be used for external applications without causing
skin irritation and without clogging pores.  Colloidal silver used alone is
a skin irritant, although a very, very mild one.

Recently, my wife came up with a great suggestion:  Why not try using
Biotone cream as a base?

This turned out to be a fantastic suggestion.  While I am as of yet
uncertain how well the silver works in the cream, the cream works fantastic.
Diluting the cream by adding about 50% colloidal silver ( high PPM ) by
volume, one achieves a very light cream that has an incredible adsorbtion
without skin irritation or buildup on the surface of the skin - ideal for
facial use.  Diluting it more or less simply gives the cream a different
texture for different applications.

One can add secondary ingredients such as very small amounts of high grade
essential oils.  It appears the Biotone cream does a great job in preserving
their effects.

Biotone cream can be purchased at any massage supply store ( most any )...
There are Biotone oils and a Biotone cream available ( so be sure if your
interesting in experimenting one gets the cream ).

Re: CS Questions

2001-06-01 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings, Bill!

You've found about the best resource available for information on colloidal
silver.  However, Mike is certainly correct about "peer reviewable" studies.
There are very few ( that I've found ) out there.

However, a little diligent research will certainly show that many companies
are heavily researching silver.  Browsing the website
www.silverinstitute.org is a great starting place for this information, or
you can gain an overview of a few particularly interesting articles @
http://silverdata.20m.com/commercial2.html

Perhaps this might be a great direction to begin the approach of your
writing?  The question is:  Why are RX companies spending millions of
dollars developing hospital use ionic silver equipment if ionic silver is
not effective?  Why are these same companies NOT planning on marketing a
colloidal silver for public use?

The answers are of course very simple, and can be summed up with the post
80's corporate philosophy.  It is not enough to make a profit; shareholders
want to see high profit margins.  The FDA is even approving colloidal silver
generators that go into the body.  Companies are researching patentable
silver protein combinations.

If you explore this angel in your opening ( of course I'm certainly not
trying to tell you how to write!!! ), you can document the effectiveness of
silver use from "non-questionable" sources.  If you can hit on this angle,
then tie it in with the theory of colloidal silver efficacy, you then may be
substantiated enough to hit where it "hurts" - human interest.

Re: CS>Saliva Experiment Results

2001-05-22 Thread A.V.R.A
Ivan,

( You probably have a much larger audience than you realize )

You bring up a great point about the amount of colloidal silver ingested
through protein binding.  However, I think even these small amounts ingested
via this method can prove significant over long term use, and therefore
believe that the idea is still worthy of consideration.  I don't believe,
when speaking "in vitro", that large amounts of colloidal silver are needed
IF the colloidal silver is reaching the desired location in the body.  If an
"infection" in the body is being managed by the immune system but not
eliminated ( as is the case with many infections, else one would not live
very long ) then a one percent increase in the elimination of the infection
can very well "turn the tide".  Of course, this IS simplified.

I believe there is a VERY significant difference in how colloidal silver
works in a test tube, when placed ON the body, and when used IN the body.

I am convinced that SOMETHING must be occuring that we haven't isolated yet.
Even if colloidal silver is adsorbed through the upper intestinal tract,
Frank et al is correct in questioning how colloidal silver retains its
effectiveness once hitting the blood stream ( of course their is the ammonia
hypothesis, which I really need to explore further to achieve a full
understanding ).

I know that if the stomach is not producing stomach acids, that the
effectiveness of colloidal silver ingested is greatly improved ( as in the
case when someone has not ingested foods for a long period of time ).
However, this does not alone explain an increase in efficacy.

Where else can colloidal silver "bind" with these protein chains?

I know that on this list, side effect reports are scarce ( it is the nature
of this list ).

However, in the short time my website has been up, I've received a few
correspondences ( and eventually anticipate more ) that are quite
interesting.  Of course, I strongly encourage people to speak up about any
interesting effects.

In particular, one individual started using a few SPRAYS per day in the
mouth, and shortly thereafter discovered that using any brand of blond hair
dye turned her hair orange.  Upon stopping use for about a month, the hair
dye's effect returned to the expected norm.  This was from less than a
teaspoon of colloidal silver use per day.  Of course, there are valid
questions about the type of colloidal silver, ect.

If we start with the assumption that the information reported was accurate,
then it is clear that a very strong metabolic effect was induced through the
colloidal silver use ( obviously, the colloidal silver itself did not cause
this condition ).  I certainly haven't been able to reproduce such an
effect.

Wouldn't it be relatively easy to create these protein chains which preserve
the ionic silver?

This suggested experiment is not scientific, and would be largely a waste of
time.

Of course not ALL the ionic silver is going to be protected by the proteins
in the saliva.  Of course one is going to get silver chloride.  I certainly
hope not all of one's scientific work is done in this manner.

Re: CS>Athlete's Feet

2001-05-15 Thread A.V.R.A
Craig:

Bentonite is not known for its ability to eliminate fungal conditions.
However, that said, many secondary problems associated with irritated
atheletes foot often occur.  These, bentonite handles well, and handles
quickly.

Coincidently, a recent "non-standard" treatment was done on an individual,
diabetic, with several small infections that had been progressing for
several weeks.  Finally, the individual was in enough pain to where it
interfered with the ability to sleep.  An overnight treatment was done.  All
pain was removed within five minutes of application.  Two superficial
infections were completely eliminated.  One deep infection was pulled to the
surface ( the infection was under the skin ).  Healing of the tissues in
question has improved drastically ( as apposed to worsening ).  The
infection that lay beneath the surface of the skin is now visible as a
surface fungal infection.  It is being watched as a learning process without
further intervention.

Pain resumed about midway through the next day, primarily due to the dry
skin that often accompanies severe athletes foot.  One can make a light
ointment or cream out of colloidal silver ( or at least, take one's favorite
good cream, and add CS ).

The infection sites on the surface of the skin remain infection free. The
small infection that is visible in the photos ( see below ) was actually
deep enough to call for direct formation of granular tissue ( it is hard to
tell the depth of the injury in the photos ).

Because of the nature of the tissues themselves, any solution will take some
time of continual repeated treatment.

The photos ( and commentary )of this treatment can be seen at:
http://www20.brinkster.com/eytonsearth/forum

One must either login to the forum as guest, guest, or sign up for a user
name.

The photos are in the "photos" section.

The bentonite was prepared with a combination of natural hotsprings water
which was partially dried then re-hydrated with colloidal silver.  A small
amount of Eucalyptus ( pure ) essential oil was added as well.

To download all three files, simply click here:

This will open a directory, where you can choose
1) to download all three files in zip format ( kakpatch&repair.zip)
2) to download only the patch (Outlook_Express_Q240308i.exe)
3) either of the fix files ( or both ).

To use the Outlook express patch, simply download the file and double click
on it.

To use the fix files, download and double click on the file, then select

colloid  which looked like grape juice at the rate of two quarts a day during a 
pseudomonas infection and other ramifications.  He said that he would drink the 
colloid and the wound which was left open for debridement would soon begin 
running and soaked the bed evidently washing the leg from the inside out.  They 
wouldn't let us dress the wound.  Got rid of the infection and with Divine 
intervention/help he is out of the hosp and still has both legs.  h...@mcmo.net




Re: CS>Flesh eating bacteria

H2O2 might work well on such wounds except for one problem...  When you are 
dealing with such a condition, the infection runs through the tissues.  The 
H2O2, and even colloidal silver might do well on the surface, but will not 
touch the deeper infection.  It's the deeper infection that will kill you.  
Theoretically, if you are able to surgically remove all of the infectious 
tissues so that one can apply colloidal silver and/or H2O2 to the remaining 
tissue, it might be effective.

I have some personal experience with flesh eating bacteria.  It is not a pretty 
condition.  By the grace of Divine Intervention and probably a set of very 
unique circumstances, the infection was handled successfully.  The individual 
is the only one ever recorded to have survived ( so far ) a flesh eating 
bacterial infection in the deep abdominal region ( this the surgeon and lawyers 
told us ).  To top it off, the infection was a hospital-only strain.

One's best bet is to FLOOD the body with colloidal silver used internally.  In 
the above case, the one lucky circumstance was the fact that the individual had 
not taken any substances in the stomach for about thirty days - therefore, the 
stomach had stopped producing acid.  I can only attribute recovery to the 
colloidal silver taken internally, because the medical staff had long since 
stopped IV antibiotics due to the fact that they had no effect.  I believe the 
colloidal silver was far more effective than would normally be due to the 
stomach's lack of acid.  One cannot amputate the abdomen - the choice was 
either recover or die.

Infections such as these become septic very rapidly.  One will notice that the 
standard choice these days to treat such infections is simply to briefly try to 
see if the infection can be controlled, and if not, rapidly amputate the area 
if possible.

If you or a loved one finds oneself in a position of developing a flesh eating 
bacterial condition and in the hospital, you need to be pre-educated and 
assertive.  Not every hospital doctor will know the best protocols to follow 
right off the bat.  If the infection is in an area of the body that is not 
amputatable, you need to strongly suggest that blood transfusions be prepared ( 
in some cases, as in rare blood types, this can take a bit of time ).  You 
might strongly consider Trovan as the first antibiotic choice, followed closely 
by the "Gorilla Three" ( instead of vice versa - hopefully, Trovan has been on 
the market long enough for most hospital MD's to have experience with it ).  
One might get lucky, and get a fast response from the Trovan ( hospital derived 
infections are developing a strong resistance to the "Gorilla Three" antibiotic 
protocol ).  You need to get alot of colloidal silver into the body, and I'd 
strongly suggest you not tell the medical staff you are doing so.

One probably would not be able to convince the medical staff to put the 
individual on oxygen, but if one is able to do so, this can be beneficial.  
Usually, they wait until the oxygen count in the blood drops - which is often 
too late.

Rosemary is a victim of her own ignorance and anger.  In my opinion, neither

There are no cases of Argyria that I have found that can be attributed to
colloidal silver as it is made today.  Silver Nitrate, indeed, is the most
likely cause of Rosemary's predicament.

Dear Brooks et al:

Your findings are excellent!  Thank you for sharing this simple protocol...

Two years ago I got in a severe fight ( not really a fight fight ) with a 
talented and highly respected surgeon over just this issue.  He kept screaming 
back at me ( I was trying to help save a life - the individual was critically 
hospitalized with just such an infection and dying, I was trying to get the 
individual into a hyperbaric chamber ) "There just isn't enough evidence to 
warrant it!" over and over again.

At the time I thought he was being very stubborn and closed-minded - every 
single alternative had been attempted with dismal failure.  However, in 
retrospect, I realized that he didn't want to spell the truth out:  That 
critical care hyperbaric chamber treatments are expensive and often not covered 
by insurance - he had felt as powerless as I.

It is excellent to know that minor modifications in such environmental 
conditions can make a difference!



  Dear Gage, 
  Almost without exception, cases of this type (most especially in the 
elderly) involve some form of veinous stasis or similar 
  circulatory insufficiency.  We conducted some rather extensive evaluations of 
lower extremity circulation experimentations/evaluations during 
1999-2000...almost exclusively on geriatric group volunteers.  In the most 
serious challenges, multiple protocols were requiredespecially 
hyperbaric-type environmental modifications.  One, very simple, technique 
involved the utilization of  clear plastic "garbage bags".  The entire lower 
legup to the kneewas encased in the bag and suitable taping or pressure 
was applied to the top edges to maintain a very low---or NO---pressure loss.  
Using a small plastic tube, 02 was used to inflate the bag to its full capacity 
(high pressures WERE  NOT required for acceptable results).  We found that 20 
to 30 minute applications, executed approximately every 4 hours during the day 
period were (in a majority of cases)  sufficient to MAKE THE DIFFERENCE between 
complete remission.and "control". 
  This modality proved to be very economical, simple, and is 
certainly within the reach of even the most "financially stressed" 
experimenter. 
  For a more complete explanation of the "exactly" how we 
conducted these evaluations..contact me "off-list". 
  I must go now.   Sincerely,  Brooks Bradley.

Re: CS>elderly client

2001-05-10 Thread A.V.R.A
Gage:

About the highest ( estimated ) strength CS I've used is 50ppm.  I don't think 
sludge is necessary.  Wounds that refuse to heal are "a different kind of 
animal".  I'm not certain if this is an open wound, or how deep it is, but the 
key here is to take a soaked dressing, apply it to the entire wound, and keep 
it saturated with CS.  Especially if it is a deep wound, don't let this 
dressing dry!

Alternately, a rather thin cylinderal container that will completely cover the 
wound with about 1/6" diameter "left over" can be filled, to the absolute rim ( 
this is important ), and applied with light pressure.  The idea here, of 
course, is to be sure the container itself is not touching any damaged tissue.  
It must be filled virtually to the point of overflowing, with no air at all in 
the container once it is applied.  What one is after here is increased forced 
adsorption of the CS. ( hmm 3 inches in diameter?  might not be feasible )

For external use, I've always been of the mind that a higher PPM solution might 
be more effective.  However, somewhere one must reach a balance - one doesn't 
want such a strong solution that one is left without ions.

If these wounds are a byproduct of a diabetic condition, or low oxygen content 
in the bloodstream, than patience will certainly be called for.  It is also 
wise to start using the colloidal silver internally as well.

The type, depth of the wound, and the state of the diseased tissue, are 
variables that help determine how long a single application should be 
sustained. I'm operating almost off of the assumption here that these wounds 
are open.  A dressing will need to be changed relatively often if the wound 
drains.  One wants to avoid having the dressing adhere to tissues.  This can be 
avoided by prompt dressing changes, and keeping the dressing itself moist.

The idea here, at any rate, is that simply spraying colloidal silver every once 
in awhile is not likely to do the trick.

  Dear List members
   
  I have been a bit out of it lately, so please excuse me if this is already 
water undr the bridge.
   
  The following relates to Frank Keys claim that ionic silver does not survive 
to enter the body due to chloride compounding. I do not recall the 
metalloprotein counter-arguement being raised. If not, any comments, especially 
from Frank, and if its already been dealt with, please advise as to when. The 
summary and URL follow:
   
  "In order to move mineral ions about your body, for delivery to the area 
where needed, your body uses proteins to envelope the ions and render them 
inactive, until they are delivered to the cell or area needing them. Numerous 
essential biological functions require metal ions, and most of these metal ion 
functions involve metalloproteins. One-third of all proteins are 
"metalloproteins", chemical combinations of protein atoms (carbon, nitrogen, 
oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur) with ions of metals such as iron, calcium, copper, 
zinc, etc. If this were not the case, few minerals would remain useable by your 
body, including essentials like calcium, iron, etc. as they would join other 
free ions and in many cases make insoluable salts (no bio-availability). Your 
saliva has over 200 different proteins and thus they can capture metallic ions 
before they get near the stomach acid! Also, silver ions are so small they can 
be absorbed sublingually, thru your skin, to directly enter the blood stream, 
with the help of proteins."

Greetings, Beverle ( thanks for your thoughts! ):

Dr. Jon has no such excuse.  Over the last few years, I have emailed him
personally on several occasions.  First, when he was claiming there was no
benefit in colloidal silver use.  THEN, when he discovered this mysterious
magical process.  I pointed him in excellent directions.

I respect Dr. Jon for actually doing the research, and drawing true
conclusions.  That, in my opinion, is the mark of a good researcher -
despite pre-conceived ideas, demonstration of fact through experimentation
resulted in a change of perception.

However, I still consider Dr. Jon's editorials to be poor journalism.  Does
Dr. Jon pause and wonder on the ramifications of his actions?  Evidently
not.  Apparently, he enjoys writing  these up and down swing editorials.  In
fact, it's the oldest method in the world for pop journalism.

If Dr. Jon really wanted to do his audience justice, he'd take the time to
fully research an item - by listening carefully to those with years or
decades of experience - before writing his articles.

Personally, I didn't have much to say at all about colloidal silver during
1.5 years of experience off-list, until I felt that my grasp on the subject
matter warranted it.  And I recieved this "grasp" by listening carefully to
those whom so graciously have been willing to take the time to share it!

Caring takes time - isn't that one of its hallmarks?

For the newcomers, one never has to be intimidated about asking questions!

As far as step by step instructions to make a current limited device, I plan
on beginning filming in mid-june.

The format will be similiar to the basic generator tutorial that can be

Via sorption, the clay holds the substances to it's own surface, and 
carries it out of the body - that is why it is often effective at curtailing a 
herx effect.  The body's immune system/elimination system does not then have to 
deal with the substance, and bentonite is inert unless it's acting on organs.  
When it does act on organs, the action is a detoxification.

Dr. Christopher at one time, in order to answer questions about the

bentonite as

USP processed clay is almost a compromise between a natural clay,

Back in the mid-eighties, a young gentleman, motor cycle racing 
enthusiast, 
had a fairly severe accident in a race.  He was rushed to the hospital 
with 
a leg partially torn to shreds.  In short order he developed an 
infection 
which turned gangrene, and as time passed, the infection began to 
spread and 
worsen. 

One night, the doctor in charge of the case made the decision that the 
leg 
needed to be removed, and scheduled surgery for the next morning. 

Meanwhile, the gentleman's father finally arrived from out of town.  
The 
father, that same evening ( upon seeing the condition of the leg and 
hearing 
of the doctor's decision ), picked his son up and stole him away from 
the 
hospital ( didn't even check him out! ).  They drove about 1/2 way 
across 
the country to the west coast, where a particular noteworthy bentonite 
deposit which the father was familiar with was located.

Greetings Jules:

For interesting information on the natural treatement of fibroids, please
reference the following URL:
http://www.natmedpro.com/nmp/Uterfibr.htm

You'll notice that the authors suggest a hair analysis/lab work for heavy
metal toxicity.

SYMPTOMS of fibroids could very well respond favorably to external clay
treatments. Although, sadly, I have no personal experience to draw from,
there is certainly nothing to lose from trying.  You would most likely know
within 48 to 72 hours.  I've seen internal cancers eliminated in short
order, as well as cysts and skin cancers that hardly respond at all.

A clay magma is pre-prepared, usually by mixing about four parts water with
one part bentonite.  Store the clay in glass container if possible ( we use
20 gallon glass containers ).  The ideal mixture should bounce when one taps
the container ( by holding the container in one and hand, and tapping it
with the other or at least placing one hand on the other side of the
container and tapping it ).  It can take 72 hours for the mixture to "set"
to get this effect.

Take a clean, non-reactive dressing  ( or t-shirt, folded sheet, etc. ) that
is large enough to cover the area to be treated plus about an inch on each
side.  Treatment areas when dealing with internal organ healing, etc. are
quite often about eight square inches.  One can first add the clay to the
body, but it is often easier to eyeball the treatment area, and place 3/4"
inches of clay uniformly on the dressing itself  ( careful not to
over-compact the clay upon application ).  Then apply the dressing with the
clay on it over the treatment area.  The idea is that the dressing covers
the clay entirely with a little bit of slack left over.  The clay MUST be
covered.

Be forewarned of POSSIBLE reactions, which may or may not manifest about
twelve minutes into treatment:

A spiking pain, often described "lightening like" that either shoots into
the chest or through the feet.  This is nothing to be concerned about ( it
can be very surprising to the unaware individual who experiences it ) and
indeed is every indication that fantastic results will be experienced.

Severe chills throughout the body:  This is an indication that the clay pack
should be removed immediately.  Wait 24 to 48 hours and continue.

Increase in pain localized to the region being treated:  If this occurs, one
is BEST advised to continue with treatments, daily, until this stops
occuring, usually within 72 hours.  What is most likely occuring is that
cancerous tissues are expanding - a needed step in such treatments. In these
cases, any cancerous tissue that actually responds in this manner
 certainly not all forms by any means ) will be completely eliminated.

The first treatment should last 30 minutes, unless the feeling described is
one of greatly increased comfort and reduction of pain, in which case one
can go a full hour.  Drink plenty of fluids.  The clay should quickly warm,
and if one is sensitive enough, one should feel a significant increase in
heat above the dressing ( by running one's hand over the body, then the
dressing ).

The second day, provided that no unpleasant effects have been observed, the
pack should be left on for one hour.  The third day, if, again, the response
is either uneventful or favorable, the pack can remain on for one hour or
overnight, depending on convenience ( there is really nothing convenient per
se about such things! ).

At this point, one can re-evaluate the experience.  The clay itself when
used in this manner is only a catalyst that induces a response in the body.
A good idea is to watch for two things:  1) pause a few minutes after
removing the clay pack and observe the skin:  Is it whitish or redish, or
normal skin color? - one must give just enough time for the effects of the
pressure of the pack to normalize.  A redish color tone indicates a strong
exothermic reaction.  Most likely, the individual will have felt the effects
of the pack.  If the skin is whitish, this is an indication of severe immune
system supression.  Diligence is called for, as well as warmed clay packs.
If one carefully removes the pack ( it should come off in one peice )
examine the clay itself for perfectly concentric circles that penetrate the
clay.  I call these ( for lack of a better idea ) venting holes, and they
provide a strong indication that a favorable action is occuring, reducing
inflammation.  I've seen some dime sized.  Also, observe the skin for for
red, highly defined indents in the skin that stay on the skin for up to an
hour.  If one sees these indents, it is highly adviseable to repeat the
treatment whether one is convinced that anything is really happening or not.

It is wonderous to see fantastic results quickly using clay, although this
is NOT always the reality.  72 hours will give the explorer a very good idea
whether any benefit is being experienced ( accept in the case of severe
spinal and trauma induced chronic muscular injuries - some

Via sorption, the clay holds the substances to it's own surface, and carries it 
out of the body - that is why it is often effective at curtailing a herx 
effect.  The body's immune system/elimination system does not then have to deal 
with the substance, and bentonite is inert unless it's acting on organs.  When 
it does act on organs, the action is a detoxification.

Dr. Christopher at one time, in order to answer questions about the possibility 
of aluminum contamination from bentonite, ingested fairly large amounts of 
bentonite over a period of time, and then had blood work/hair analysis done.  
Not only was there no aluminum, but ZERO other heavy metals as well.

Of course, under certain circumstances the clays action is reversed.  If a clay 
becomes over-contaminated with substances, it "eminates them" ( for lack of a 
better word ).  This effect can be harnessed in natural medicine as well.  The

to put his LEG in this this drum of mud, the son strongly resisted, and it 
took six men to force the poor chap's leg into the drum. 

The resistance didn't last long - bentonite often has a tendency to remove 
pain in short order.  They left the leg in the clay for four days. 

When they removed his leg from the solution, not only was the infection 
completely gone, but tissue healing had already advanced at a very rapid 
rate.  Within two weeks, this lucky chap was back on the race course, leg 
healed.  His initial infection was most likely a hospital derived 
antibiotic 
resistant infection ( such occurences are becoming more and more common as 
time passes ). 

This is not an exception to the rule.  Morey ( the gentleman whom oversaw 
this small miracle ) and the others involved had the complete confidence in 
this treatment because they'd seen the same thing happen over and over

for twenty plus years.

  Subject: CS>Does Ozonation of Water Produce Hydrogen Peroxide


  Dear Marshall, Frank, Ivan and list members

  Here is a contrary post, or possibly even better, a "middle way" explaining 
both points of view: 
  http://www.ozonet.com/Ozone_applications.html

  Hydrogen Peroxide VS. Ozone

  Hydrogen Peroxide is basically water with an additional molecule of oxygen. 
When it is solubilized in water it combines with H2O to equate to H2O + H2O2. 
Eventually the H2O2 looses its extra oxygen mole. Its reaction forms H2O + O. 
This oxygen radical (unstable) will then either combine with another free 
oxygen molecule to form O2 or H2O + O2 which is highly stable however the water 
will only maintain so much oxygen until it naturally liberates itself. 

  As compared with Ozone or O3 your are initiating O2 PLUS another oxygen 
Molecule. Ozone is several more times more soluble in water than oxygen. The 
initial reaction is H2O2 + O (H2O3) then it converts to H2O2 plus O. Since the 
charge of the third molecule includes more energy it has the capability of 
combining with H2O to form H2O2. At that time the reaction is very similar to 
that of Hydrogen Peroxide.

  Basically, due to the increase of solubility of ozone and the extra molecule 
of oxygen the eventual breakdown to H2O is slower, thus the oxidation power 
(energy) last longer in the water. You test this by adding H2O2 to water and 
measuring the H2O2 and then later test again, you will find that the peroxide 
will last only a short while. However, if you were to supply ozone to the water 
containing H2O2, you will measure H2O2 significantly longer if not indefinitely.

  H2O + O3 = H2O2 + O = O + H2O = H2O2 + H2O2 (OZONE) H2O + H2O2 = H2O2 + O = 
H2O + O2 
   
  ST: By extention, I would expect the disputed phenomenon to be explained by 
the above described phenomenon, with the length of the process and nature of 
the equipment determining whether sufficient H2O2 will be formed early enough 
in the process to influence a later stage of the process, so that in effect 
"you 'might'  (were to) supply ozone to the water containing H2O2, you 'could'  
(will) measure H2O2 significantly longer if not indefinitely" as concluded in 
the above quite reasonable explanation.
   
  Let's consider this possibility with an open mind in an effort to establish 
the facts, rather than partially informed opinions, and as a positive means of 
"conflict resolution".

I wish I could sell the stuff we use currently...  Sadly, the quarry is only
large enough for about a lifetime supply for the very few who know of its
location.  We mine it ourselves from a extremely pure subterranean vein.
Since I'm "so far from home" currently, we usually resupply about once a
year, which requires about a 700 mile drive.  Well worth it though.

I would say that four teaspoons of hydrated bentonite would be about the
equivalent of one teaspoon of powder ( the average bentonite swells to four
times its volume, the average gram of bentonite actually covers a surface
area of over 400 square meters ).

Interesting... on looking up Yerba Primara's website, they also market
Psyllum tusks - a great addition to liquid bentonite for anyone who has any
constipation problems through bentonite use ( a normal digestive system,
however, does not respond in this manner to clay ).  They also state that
the surface area of their particular clay covers 900 square yards per
tablespoon.  That's a pretty dense clay - one tablespoon may be enough,
depending on your purpose for using the clay.  To correct digestive
problems, it really should be used during or just after meals, once the body

Yerba Prima markets a USP grade bentonite, which is certainly, in my
opinion, a better choice than the FDA grade alternatives.  $10.95 is a bit
steep in price for 1 pint - I can at times go through a pint for various
applications easily in a day, but this is typical in alt med marketing.

If I remember correctly, Great Plains clay is a Wyoming Clay, similiar to
American Colloid's brand.

They recommend a dose of one tablespoonful per day, which is a bit low ( the
actual recommended dose is one tablespoonful of powder to a glass of
water ), but still useful I'm certain.

I know it's probably hard to imagine, at 10.95 a bottle, using bentonite
three to four times daily as a part of one's lifestyle ( with cyclic breaks

Re: CS>Normal / bentonite

Normally speaking, the liver does not initially process bentonite - it
rejects it.  That is probably why none of the formalized studies have picked
up on this ( of course, scientific studies are quite rare to begin with on
this subject ).

The liver, apparently, must first be restored to optimum health.  My
understanding of the dynamics come from Raymond Dextreit's Earth Cures
handbook.

A semi-healthy liver ( void of disease such as sclerosis, hepatitis, ect. )
takes at least 30 days of internal use, WITH home-brewed herbal teas to
assist liver/kidney functions.  Until that point is reached, the bentonite
acts on the liver but is not processed BY the liver.

However, this changes.

Although I certainly cannot provide a scientific explanation, this can be
practically demostrated with enough patience.  Once the liver DOES start
processing bentonite, in short order a fairly drastic change occurs in the
blood itself.  I have not had lab work done - however, the effect is quite
visible, because the blood becomes so enriched that it changes several
shades of color...  In fact, if you were to accidently cut yourself in front
of a group of people ( which is how I discovered this neat phenominon ) the
response would be uniform gasps.

It took me personally about six months of excessive detoxification to reach
this level.

Often times, external treatments of a good healing clay are necessary if a
liver is in bad shape.  It may not, at first, make any sense, but the
results are very easily demonstratable.

The PH balance is indeed affected.  This goes beyond the stomach and
digestive system as well.  This can be demonstrated through long term use of
bentonite internally on a daily basis.  Unlike colloidal silver, most
healing clays have very little effect on fungi itself.  However, prolonged
use, even without diet changes, slowly starts to eliminate fungal
infections.  My only explanation for this is a gradual restoration of the
acid/basic system of the body.

I think some of the latest formalized research was done by UCLA, and their
studies were very poorly done.  Perhaps this is due to the fact that they
really didn't understand the nature of the substance.

Keep in mind that bentonite operates to detoxify the body via sorption.  So,
we're not really talking about a binding agent per se.  It also works when
used on the outside of the body.

I'll never forget one experience I had with a skin graft donor site.  There
were I would say about 30 staples left that were embedded in new granular
tissue, and I felt it was a bit barbaric to use pliers to pull them out.
Instead, we simply used a clay pack to remove the staples.  Most came out
within about 72 hours.  The last stubborn few which were completely imbedded
under the skin took about six days.  None of them needed to be removed with
pliers.  The experiment was done without without the clay ever touching the
body.  A thin dressing was applied uniformly to the site, the clay was
applied to this dressing, then covered with a second dressing.

Bentonite is proving very EXCELLENT in the treatment of radiation poisoning.
I wish I had more solid data on this, since radiation comes in many forms,
but I've lost contact with the group that was shipping healing clay by the
1000's of gallons to Prussia ( if I remember correctly ), for assistance to
those who had radiation poisoning from a contaminated water supply resulting
from the Cheranobyl disaster.

Needless to say one certainly does NOT want to use bentonite while
undergoing chemotherapy or other such treatments.

One day I certainly plan to do more formalized research - when I have the
resources available.

On a last note, while bentonite IS an aluminum silicate, it is NOT simply
aluminum silicate.  As far as I know, the FDA approved purified bentonites
may not respond the same as a natural bentonite.  I personally have only
tried the FDA grade bentonite once - couldn't stand it.

Re: CS>Normal

2001-05-05 Thread A.V.R.A
Very interesting description Suzy!

It's the temperature that you are running that gives me pause.  Do you think, 
in the past, that your immune system has been a) normal or b) supressed?

Sometimes when the body receives a needed boost, the immune system itself will 
activate, and begin to eliminate conditions that had pre-existed without a 
strong immune response.

However, from the available information it is certainly hard to tell for sure!  
If it were me, I'd let the regime continue for between 3 - 8 days.  A 102 
temperature, while unpleasant, is not really a concern in itself.  If the 
diahrrea is severe, and has continued for more than 72 hours, the body is in 
risk of dehydration.  I'd cut all of my doses by half ( accept the vitamin C, 
which should really be decreased at a slightly slower rate, tapering down over 
a few days to 50% ).  If I had to lay money on the table, I would say it's 
probably the vitamin C that is causing the cramping/diarrea.  It is my 
understanding that long term use of 1+ grams of vitamin C depends on the 
tolerance of the individual, and the body's need.  Always watch your body for a 
signs of a BRIEF skin rash, usually very localized, to let you know when 
substances have reached a maximum tolerance level.

Also keep in mind that when making extreme changes to diet, especially when 
ingesting pure substances ( such as vitamin C and MSM ) that the body is going 
to go through changes - not all of which are going to be totally predictable in 
every case - and it's often helpful and wise to assist the body in key organ 
functions.  Very gentle herbal teas, home-brewed, are often a great way to do 
this.  In particular, dandelion root tea is an excellent addition for liver 
support. Vitamin C in pure form and in large amounts can be very rough on the 
digestive system.  I know no better way to overcome the unpleasant side effects 
than the use of bentonite/healing clays, which will also eliminate in rapid 
order any herximer effect the body experiences with intense therapies. I 
personally have ingested up to six grams daily of pure vitamin C powder with no 
unpleasant side effects by waiting about 45 minutes and ingesting a liter or so 
of clay water ( not recommended if one has not gently adjusted to internal use 
of clays ).

The clays added to the diet also help to avoid the possible pitfall of an 
inbalance of free radicals in the body.  Once the liver begins to process the 
clays ( this can take a minimum of four weeks of usage, with a maximum 
dependant directly upon the condition of the liver ), bentonite fixes free 
oxygen in the blood stream.

At any rate, these are my thoughts - I certainly hope you are able to determine 
a working solution!

Re: CS>high blood pressure

2001-05-03 Thread A.V.R.A
Very interesting description, Martin...

I cannot fathom colloidal silver itself being the direct cause of the
hypertension/blood pressure.  Assuming for the moment that your observations
between colloidal silver and your blood pressure are accurate, there must be
something else going on.

Questions:

How much colloidal silver were you using, and how many times daily?

Do you know the quality of the colloidal silver you are using?

Are you taking any prescription drugs?

Is there the possibility of any strong stimulants built up in your body
tissues ( not caffeine, ect - stronger )?

Are you having an skin reactions?

Temporary high blood pressure/hypertension is SOMETIMES a byproduct of
natural medicine treatments.  However, on the same note, it is never
anything to play around with!

Operating under the assumption that the colloidal silver's action in the
body is producing this effect, my initial thought is to first stablize the
blood pressure/hypertension.  Then, once these conditions are normal, intake
a very small amount of colloidal silver, and monitor your blood pressure.

Ideally, you should easily be able to find a dosage level that does not
produce symptoms.  Unless what is actually occuring is an allergic reaction
( which doesn't seem to be the case ), your body should adjust and normalize
through time.  With care, you should be able to slowly, over a period of
months, increase the amount of colloidal silver.  Consume plenty of liquids.

Personally, I would not continue taking the colloidal silver at levels where
high blood pressure is sustained, without coming to an exact understanding
of what is occuring.  Err on the side of caution, be gentle with yourself,
and hopefully you can find a way to continue to reap the benefits of CS
usage without any risk of compromising your health

sfropeem64


One researcher out of BYU is conducting animal studies to determine if
silver
colloids do anything in the body. Already The University of the Pacific has
conducted studies that show that a specific silver colloid solution seems to
be effective on sinus infections. Another study out of BYU found just ONE
commercially available product to be standardized and effective on killing
some types of bacteria in petri dishes. That product was the only one that
has a patent on it's manufacture and is standardized. This is interesting
because one of the things that was repeated to me by the colloidal silver
true believers over and over was that there can be no patents on silver
colloids. Again it was obvious that many people making and using their own
colloidal silver that are on colloidal silver lists are ignorant and lazy
and
misinforming people; I was able to find research on it, patents, and
scientific evidence that one type of standardized, patented colloidal silver
solution seems to work on specific problems. Why nobody else could be
bothered to get off their lazy asses and make a few phone calls and write a
few emails and letters I do not know. Why they consistently denied that
there
were patents on making silver colloid and that any current scientific
research existed showing it worked is another bizarre mystery of the
colloidal silver cultists. They seemed to all be too busy congratulating
themselves on how smart and innovative they were, when in reality they have
been giving out loads of bad "information" and creating a silly little cult.
They have found their "miracle" (a word frequently used) in silver colloid,
but their "miracle" could have just as easily been found in potato peels by
naive and ignorant people.

American Silver makes a "ASAP Colloidal Silver Solution" that is the only
product I am aware of that is standardized, has a patented process, and has
been proven by researchers to do anything at all.

You can try making colloidal silver on your own with distilled water, silver
electrodes, and nine volt batteries; or you can by a proven standardized
solution that is patented. I've tried several different products as well as
made my own and have yet to find that colloidal silver does anything for me,
my pets, or plants. Still I am hoping we'll know more as the BYU animal
studies and other research continues. I think the issue is one of
standardization and method of application as well as knowing and proving
what
colloidal silver works and does not work on. This can and will eventually be
worked out in the lab and in studies that are happening now.

People claim colloidal silver kills 650 different types of bacteria and
pathogens; yet they also claim it does not kill off the natural beneficial
flora that live in the gut and are needed to be there for optimal health.
Well, newsflash, you can't have it both ways. You can't claim that colloidal
silver selectively kills only the "bad" bacteria and leaves the beneficial
bacteria alone. Antibiotics don't do this, and colloidal silver does not do
it in the lab in petri dishes. So there's an obvious inconsistency in the
claims made by the people that insist that colloidal silver is a "cure" for
everything from asthma to athlete's foot to body odor to plaque, and claims
that it is "a natural antibiotic" that somehow only kills off the "bad"
bacteria. So the truth about colloidal silver is going to be gradual and
probably obscured and maligned to a great extent by these foolish and
idiotic
miracle seekers that are lying about aspects of colloidal silver and are
interested not in any kind of truth, but in something to cling to as a
"miracle". It's all pretty sickening and dreadful.

I am grateful that there are honest researchers who are working hard to give
us honest answers, and that they are ready and willing to talk to people, if
people would just bother to contact them.

Simply create a txt file on your desktop, such as test.txt.  Then, select
Tools ( at the top of the Outlook express ), then options, then signatures.
At the bottom, one shall see a radio button titled File.  choose this, and
then browse to find your test.txt file.  Select ok.  Once one is out of the
options, delete the test.txt file.

Now every time one sends a message through email, this annoying box will pop

By the way, I thought I would mention, for Outlook Explorer users, there is
a way to crash these email viruses so that in the event one gets one and is
unaware of it, the virus will not be able to send outbound mail.

What one does, is in the preferences for outlook express, one adds a
signature file that doesn't exist.  Every time one sends a new email
message, a dialog box will appear warning you that it could not find the
signature file.  These email viruses aren't programmed for that eventuality.
When it tries to send outbound mail with the attachment, the virus crashes
due to that extra step, and the email is never sent.

Looks like we all will have to start spraying our computers with colloidal
silver...

As some of you might have noticed through watching the news, last week ( and
perhaps still? ), a huge cloud from Mongolia ( of all places! ) reached the
Western United States, spanning all the way to ( you guessed it ) right here
in Albuquerque.

Heavy winds and ongoing construction has really effected the air quality,
and we've been particularly faithful in using colloidal silver in the lungs.
I am certainly not sure what is capable of travelling in such a dust cloud,
but I'm certain if nothing else, at least spores survived the long trip.

In fact, between the dust cloud, the construction, the high winds, and the
spring pollen in the air, my allergies kicked in for the first time in about
7 years.  To further complicate things, our home has zero insulation.

I find it amazing the colloidal silver soothes the mucus membranes so well!
Twenty minutes with the humidifier, and the relief is astounding.  For those
with various lung conditions, it is certainly worth looking into.  I've
found that one must be diligent in application, using the
nebulizer/humidifer sometimes as much as every five to ten minutes for an
hour.

Is there anyone on the list familiar with coning?  Has anyone tried
delivering colloidal silver into the body through coning?  I know this
method is supposed to be excellent for use with ozone.  In fact, the next
thing on our purchase list is an ozone sauna.

One must simply terminate the active process before one can alter the .exe
file...  As mentioned previously, the shareware program dll demon will allow
one complete command over processes ( programs ) running in active memory!

Re: CS>VIRUS

2001-04-23 Thread A.V.R.A
Not from the list Mike...

This virus is a very clever new virus - the damage it could do was only
recently theoretical.  The file extension is masked by a class ID, making it
appear that it is a text file, image file, movie file, or other safe media.
However, the file is actually a DOS executable.  It auto-replies to any
messages that are received.

Some of these viruses ( like this one ) aren't picked up by the major virus
scanning software yet.  If one gets infected, and one is baffled at the
inability to find the virus, one needs to do several things:  1) download
the shareware program called Dll Demon 1.0 from any shareware site, such as
Tucows.   Demon Dll will allow you to see and kill any single process that
is running on your computer, including those programs which one cannot see
by using ctrl+alt+del.  Since this is a memory resident virus, there will be
ONE .exe running in DOS mode which is monitoring email, and perhaps
infecting other files in real time.

One needs to identify which file it is...  by careful examination of all
processes running.  When one identifies the exact .exe of the virus, one
needs to send it to Norton Antivirus ( or McAfee, ect. ).  Sadly, this virus
is a bit buggy, and did not infect my machine, although I was able to
examine some of the code from three seperate emails I received.  The name of
the "virus" file that is infected in the attachment is variable, it
changes...  It probably self-extracts an executable that always has the same
name, but maybe not.

Once one sends it to Norton, one can then kill the process using dll demon.
One highlights the .exe file, presses Options and then Processes, then
chooses Terminate.  This forces the program to stop running INSTANTLY,
unloading it from memory.  Make sure to make note of the .exe.

If one doesn't know how to send a virus to a virus company, then one can do
a file search for the exact file name with the windows search feature.  Upon
locating the file, change the file name, ONLY changing the extention, ie the
.exe to something like .vir.  This will prevent the registry from being able
to find the virus and loading it into memory when you reboot your machine
 it will also prevent the autoexec.bat file from finding it as well ).  You
can then, if you wish, send that file to me at this email address.  The
three files I received that were a part of the virus were corrupt, so I
cannot do this.

However, the battle is not yet won.  The virus could be multi-staged and
morphogenic.  Chances are, this one action will inactive the virus.
However, one then needs to search all of one's startup files for any
reference to the original file name, ie the registry, the autoexec.bat
files, ect.  Eliminate any line commands that one finds with this file name
in it.  It appears to use the E switch to execute, so one will probably find
filename.ext /e in any windows files that load the virus.

Then, one reboots one's machine.  Use dll demon to look at all active
processes once again.  Careful analysis of each process will show whether it
is a program you want to be running or not!  Often times, even if you don't
have a virus, you will be surprised at the files running on your machine
that you didn't know about.  Don't panic!  Go to altavista.com or
Google.com.  In the search box, type the exact file name in quotes ie
"injection.exe" ( a common valid file that runs in norton applications).
Your search will more than likely give you a clue to what the file is, and
whether or not it should be running on your machine.

This is an exercise everyone SHOULD do to become familiar with the programs
loaded and running on one's machine.  No memory resident virus can escape
dll demon.  If it is running on your machine, you will be able to see it!
Gone will be the fear of trusting antivirus companies exclusively for virus
protection.  Of course, not ALL viruses run as memory resident.  Some load,
do their deeds, then unload themselves to stay in hiding.  However, you've
now become familiar with everything that should be loading on your machine,
and one can then notice any anomolies in one's startup files, one's
autoexec.bat, windows.ini, control.ini, ect...



If you use outlook express, or other software that saves a copy  of your
outgoing messages, you can check to see if you're infected.  Look for
messages sent by you that you didn't send.  The files, as I've examined
them, are not large enough to contain their own email server, so they must
be using an existing email package to send the message replies out.

CS>Conversions H2O2 and CS

2001-04-22 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings, all:

For those interested, the second form program I've written has been modified
to optionally calculate the amount of silver in milligrams of a colloidal
silver solution, and display the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide in mg ( when a
H2O2 solution is used ).

For instance, currently, on this form one can choose 3 drops of a 35% H2O2
solution added to eight ounces of water, select that the CS solution is
about 10ppm, and the answer will display:

The exact concentration of the hydrogen peroxide in the end solution
 .0288% )

The amount of silver in the end solution ( 2.366 mg ).

The amount of hydrogen peroxide in the end solution ( .068 grams ).

I will be adding the H2O2 parts per million, as soon as my function
functions properly.

Aztec Secret CAN be used internally.  Many people do so.  However, please
keep in mind that their clay is not USP or FDA rated.  I've been to the
quarry where they mine their clay, and the quality is fair.  Aztec simply
purchases bulk clay directly from the quarry for under 10.00 per 50lb bag,
and re-packages it with their own label.  It is an industrial grade clay.

I mine my own bentonite about 180 miles from the location where Aztec gets
their clay.

The only benefit one is achieving over a USP or high grade natural clay is
the price.

Compared to an FDA rated bentonite, though, I think I'd even prefer Aztec
clay.

CS>More chemistry conversion questions...

2001-04-21 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings, all:

I'm trying to improve the functionality of some form programs I'm creating.

1 ppm = 1 mg / 1 L of water, right?

So a 5ppm solution would be 5mg of silver for every liter of water.  And, if
a 5% concentration = 5g/100ml, then a 5 parts per million colloidal silver
solution would actually be a .0005% solution, right?

Conversely, a 3% H2O2 solution would then be 3 grams / 100ml, or 3000mg /
.10L.  Which would then be equivalent to 30,000 parts per million.

If so, then I can simplify and automate the process by developing a simple
algebra equation/function.  The material that I'm drawing from is located @
http://www.civil.mtu.edu/~reh/courses/ce251/251_notes_dir/node2.html

Re: CS>Caution using H2O2/CS Inhalation Therapy

2001-04-17 Thread A.V.R.A
I'd love to give that a try, the biggest problem is finding smokers willing
to take such a risk...

I'm sure my one experimentee would be willing to try a diluted solution.
Perhaps next month I will at least attempt what you suggest with one person.
It certainly would be worthwhile to obtain better data than simply one
person.

Stuart:  Thanks for CS/H2O2 information!

Re: CS>Caution using H2O2/CS Inhalation Therapy

2001-04-17 Thread A.V.R.A


Yes, the subject had full knowledge.  I could never do a blind study, nor
could I personally do a study on animals.  If I have something I believe
works, there's no way I could not give it to the other 50% of the willing
test group.

Anyone I work work with is always given full knowledge of the possible
consequences, even if I don't believe that they are real ( in the case of
possible adverse reactions ).

The reason the individual wanted to try the H2O2 CS combination was because
of good results previously achieved with colloidal silver alone.  The
operative idea was to try to get some good skin results through the use of
H2O2 used interally, that has been reported through IV use.  Healthier skin
eventually translates into a more effective immune system.

It's true that something else could be occuring...  But it is evident that
some type of stimulant was being released into the bloodstream.

Aye, I agree...  No adverse reaction was experienced in non-smoking lungs.

I'm under the understanding that in order for H2O2 to benefit emphysema, it
must be injected.   The H2O2 has to hit the lungs from "the other side".
I'm nowhere near ready to undertake THAT study, but reportedly there are
doctors who will treat emphysema via intravenous H2O2.

I won't say completely clean, but the individidual was lightly coughing up 
mucus ( individual does not have a chronic cough ) and reported that it was a 
bit easier to breath.

In the future, I probably will, but I'm very leary.  I'll probably try diluting 
the solution even further, probably an additional 70% or so.  Although the 
effect described didn't occur when used with non-smoking lungs, how does one

Greetings, all: 

The combination of hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver is fascinating. 
According to a few ambigious sources I've run across, hydrogen peroxide 
stabilizes ionic silver, and it certainly appears that Ivan's earlier 
comments are right on...  It certainly appears that hydrogen peroxide 
ionizes small silver particles.  About a week ago, I took about a 10ppm 
colloidal silver solution as my based, and created a 3% H2O2 solution.  Two 
weeks later, the solution is still very active ( if I leave the container 
sealed for a few days and then open it, built up pressure is released along 
with a vaporous white cloud ). 

It's taken quite awhile to build up the courage to start experimenting with 
H2O2 in the lungs.  However, after finding several references ( equally 
ambigious ) about the safety of such a practice, I decided to personally 
investigate. 

I approached the subject with due caution. 

To create my base 3% H2O2 colloidal silver solution, I added about 40.6 CCs 
(ml) to ~ 14.6 ounces of colloidal silver ( both together exactly filled a 
16 ounce amber glass container ).  For this type of conversion, I used a 
javascript program I wrote @ 
http://silverdata.20m.com/conversion%20form.html 

Then, I added 3 drops of this 3% solution to 8 ounces of distilled water to 
achieve a 0.0025% H2O2 solution.  I used a second program I wrote for the 
calcuation @ http://silverdata.20m.com/conversionform2.html 

I figured such a dilution would be a safe starting to point to start to 
examine any effects of this combination. 

I've initially discovered some interesting things that are worth a moments 
thought for anyone who might be considering experimentation. 

With healthy relatively healthy lungs, I have not been able to discover any 
negative effects ( with my very limited experience to date ).  The H2O2 
certainly stimulates the cleaning of lung tissues; of that there is no 
doubt!  In the .0025% dilution, there is no direct irritation to the lungs 
that manifests any symptoms such as burning sensations, ect...  Quite a 
pleasant experience, in fact. 

However, with lungs that are NOT so healthy, the story changes.  It seems 
that it is very wise to pause and consider what the lungs have been subject 
to before approaching H2O2 inhalation therapy. 

After having determined that the H2O2 CS solution appeared to be safe, the 
treatment via ultrasonic humidifier was attempted with a smoker.  The 
effect 
was a dangerous and mixed blessing. 

Only three breaths of the mist was used.  Initial report of "feeling 
strange" occured within 30 seconds.  At one minute, the individual's heart 
rate began to increase.  It continued to climb over the next two minutes to 
the point where the individual's hands started shaking uncontrollably, 
vision began to blur, and the initial tingling-numbness began to set in. 
Luckily, at about 4.5 minutes the heart rate stabilized and then slowly 
dropped down to normal.  The individual was left feeling perfectly fine, 
with clearer lungs. 

It took me awhile to determine exactly what happened.  The action of the 
hydrogen peroxide apparently, while clearing the lungs, released large 
amounts of accumulated nicotine directly into the blood stream, resulting 
in 
a nicotine overdose, which can easily be deadly. 

It is a safe assumption that a similiar effect could occur with anything 
that has accumulated in the lungs, including perhaps perscription 
inhalation 
drugs and other toxic substances. 

I'm certainly very grateful today that it is my practice to err on the side 
of caution!

CS>New solution conversion form for CS and H2O2

2001-04-13 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings all!

For anyone interested in such things, a new acid conversion form is
available for use http://silverdata.20m.com/conversionform2.html

This form ( one of three ) allows one to enter the amount of H2O2 and the
amount of Colloidal Silver or Distilled water, allows one to select the
units of measurement ( ounces, drops, CCs ( ml ) or cups ) for each
solution, and then calculates the resulting concentration, ie one can enter
3 drops of 35% H2O2, 5 ounces of CS, whereby the form will calculate the
resulting solution strength ( .046% ).  The form makes it very simple to
accurately gauge various dilution strengths.

The first form is still available at
http://silverdata.20m.com/conversion%20form.html
This form allows one to enter the amount of the final solution quantity in
ounces, the ending strength and the starting strength of the H2O2, then
calculates how much H2O2 and distilled water/CS to use.

2001-04-10 Thread A.V.R.A
No doubt.  There's a lot of truth in the article, despite a Phd BS opinion.
Aspartame is a great example of short term "comfort" for long term trouble.
My mother started to use the stuff because she was concerned about a bit of
added weight.  Her and all her "friends" started to.

They all started the same weekly excercise program.  About six months into
it, weight gain, in the form of fat, had increased.  Finally, I was able to
convince my mother, about a year into use, to stop it.  Much better to use
sugar, and just put an extra emphasis on cleaning the body.

In three months, she was able to drop all the "extra" weight.  Her friends,
on the same excercise regime, continue to either maintain or gain.  They all
work 12 hour shifts, four to six days a week, on their feet all day, and
they all work out three times weekly.

I'm constantly amazed how chemists seem know so little about the body.  I'm
constantly amazed how people turn to "authority figures" for their answers
 instead of better questions ).

As far as I'm concerned, use of aspartame falls into the "pill popping" cure
category - in fact, into the pill popping that doesn't work category.

Fantastic Ole' Bob!

I wonder - is there any chance of us getting to see a TEM on this?  I'd
really be interested to see how the particles "size out".

I remain heartily unconvinced that such a turbid solution contains the
"smallest" particles, but I'm certainly willing to be proven wrong.  Perhaps
now we may get an opportunity to start to see the efficacy of ionic vs.
particle silver?

I'm certainly not qualified to make any real educated guesses on the
process.  However, ultimately, it's the end results that are going to count!

CS>Calculated H2O2 concentrations for use in distilled water or colloidal silver

2001-04-06 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings all...

Having triple checked the math, and being reasonably certain of the formula
employed, I have added a conversion form that automatically calculates H2O2
dilutions for use in distilled water,colloidal silver, ect.

Of course, this function would work for any two solution combinations for
strength calculations.

Feel free to check out the form directly:

Thanks for the response Frank, but I need to check the validity of the
actual algebra formula - I'm writing a simple form-based converter that
would allow one to simply punch in the container size and desired
strength

CS>Chemistry/Algebra Equation

2001-04-05 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings all!

Would someone mind checking my equation?

Taking a one ounce 35% H2O2 solution and diluting down to a 3% solution is
taking 11 ounces of water and adding roughly one ounce of 35% H2O2...  This
is ROUGHLY a 11:1 ratio, right?

The formula I'm using to try to be a bit more accurate for concentrations
is:

For a ~ four ounce container:

Amount of distilled water = y
Amount of 35% H2O2 = 4- y
Final Solution = 4 ounces

Equation:  % solution 1 X ( amount ) + % solution 2 X (amount) = % ending
solution X ending amount

.35(4-y) + 0y = 4 X .03

1.4 - .35y = .12

-.35y = -1.28

y = 3.65 ounces ( amount of distilled water )
amount of H2O2 = .343 ounces

Right?

Thanks...

You would not believe the real advances in anti-aging drugs.  I doubt that the 
people whom I'm referring to actually attend these conferences, but I have an 
associate who is one of ten thousand people in the world on a specific protocol.

It's taken 40 years off.  If you were to see a picture of him at age 35 and one 
at age 75, you would think that the 35 year old was the older man.  Whoever he 
is actually going through, those guys don't NEED to promote, their waiting list 
is extraordinary.  It's all illegal in the US, so he has to fly to, I believe, 
South America, where the European doctors operate out of.  The protocol is VERY 
expensive ( not necessarily the drugs themselves, but the conjunctant lifestyle 
that MUST be developed as a part of the protocol ).

It's highly unlikely that these people will offer their services to the mass 
market.  When I first met this associate, I was 25 years old and in relatively 
good shape, but this 70 year old individual could outperform me in every 
physical activity with the exception, MAYBE, of long distance running.  He's 
gotten younger and more fit since then.
 
quote from Alphaville:

"Let's dance in style, let's dance for awhile
Heaven can wait we're only watching the sky
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the Bomb or not?

"Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit life is a short trip
The Music's for the sad men.

"Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen.

"Forever young, I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever Young."

"Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody
And some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamond's are forever.

So many adventures couldn't happen today 
So many songs we forgot to play 
So many dreams swinging out of the blue 
We'll let them come true..."

  I don't know if any of you caught Dateline the other evening.  They did a 
  "hidden camera" piece on the Anti Aging Conferences (LasVegas and elsewhere). 
   They only revealed a few anti aging modalities which I thought for sure CS 
  would be one. 
  The TV crew spoke with everyone with the hidden camera then came back with a 
  very evident camera in tow, looking to interview these same people and 
  discuss there wonderful products.   
  As soon as the vendors saw the camera, most would not comment. Not the fellow 
  with the Rife machine though, he kept right on touting the benefits of his 
  equipment. 
  I had not heard of the Anti Aging Conferences, I guess you have to get on a 
  mailing list. Still wondering if someone might have had a CS booth there, as 
  there were so many alternative modalities.

Re: CS>Proof of homeopathy?

2001-03-29 Thread A.V.R.A
Greetings all...

That's an excellent point about frequencies.  Here is where the realm of
mysticism and the realm of science briefly brush shoulders, though it often
( and quite sadly ) repels them both.

Here is one extremely important reason why it might prove unwise to throw
away ionic silver for particle silver, even though a high quality batch of
particle silver might prove more useful MEDICALLY under some, if not many,
circumstances ( great work on your website Frank! ).

Let's consider:

A properly asked question answers itself.

Most modalities that attempt to address phenominon about frequency control,
healing, and other phenominon are working from the WRONG perspective.

>From a scientific viewpoint, one must be clear on the point that time and
space are not constants but variable conditions.  The proof if this, which
has stemmed primarily from Einstein's theories of relativity, has been
established as fact through experimentation though it is not understood at
all.  The most recent experiments in the European super-colloider have
demonstrated an "impossible" connection between substances that have no
detectable physical bonds.  The two facts which can be readily stated from
this experimentation is that 1) No detectable bond exists yet 2) There is a
demonstratable relationship that does exist.

An in depth study of extreme mysticism reveals a very interesting
observation:  In the beginning of the universe, the first principle to
emerge is Energy ( I say IS, because time is a variable condition, a field,
and not a line ), "followed" by Space, followed by Time.  Therefore, Time is
a function of Space which is a function of energy.  Energy is the only truly
quantifiable principle in this ternary ( Which is why, upon manifestation of
space, space becomes infinite, and which is why upon the manifestation of
Time, time becomes infinite, it's also why linear based mathmatics is only
"correct" in two dimensional thinking ( which can express, but not
encompass, a three dimensional model ) ).

Rather than get DEEPLY off topic, I'd briefly like to make the point of two
STATES of energy that are important to the discussion:  1) projection,
whereby lower forms of energy appear to move from point a to point b, like
electrons traveling through a wire, or photons travelling through fiber
optic lines and 2) emination, whereby energy manifests in a field ( the only
example that is readily available through a scientific standpoint is gravity
or magnetism ).

Now, when a TRUE healer ( there are several different forms ) heals by the
"laying on of hands", the researchers are wrong about what is happening.
Although it might APPEAR that energy is going from the healer to the
"patient", what is actually occuring is that a field is being established
and extended, and the patient's body begins to eminate in resonance with
this field.  The difference, while at first it might appear to be
inconsequential, is quite significant.

To look at a different example, with practioners of Qi Gong and other
related physical practices, kenetic energy is generated and transferred.  A
highly, highly trained practioner of advanced Haikido and Qi Gong can
actually render someone unconscious using these methods in healing
practices.

To make a long story short, when one uses frequencies to treat conditions,
what one is actually doing is creating a standing wave.  It's not the
frequencies that are significant ( although they, in this case, are the
catalyst ), but the standing wave itself.

Since the basic nature of the universe itself is ONE system, it IN REALITY
is harder to create the forms of energy we use on a daily basis than to
create standing waveforms IN the SPACE/time field THROUGH subtle
manipulation of energy.

To demonstrate to ONESELF how a similiar principle works, take a large bowl
of processed sea salt, put a non-reactive THIN glove on one hand, and
submerge it completely into the dry sea salt.  See how long you can keep
your hand there, and be observant to the physical feelings one experiences.
Now, there is no chemical reaction occuring.  If one properly preserves the
sea salt, ten thousand people can experience the same thing, and the sea
salt remains ( more or less ) unchanged from a scientific standpoint.

Take the glove off of the hand and repeat the same thing for an increased
effect.

Now, where all of this just might apply to colloidal silver:  the higher the
energy potential of a substance, the more one theoretically can pre-pattern
standing wave forms.  This CANNOT be easily scientifically studied.  If you
fire morphine into the blood stream, it's going to always have a measurable
effect, because the action is physical and chemical.  Not the case with such
substances, because most people have no idea the variables that must be
accounted for, yet alone have the ability to quantify them.  We just don't
have the technology at this time ( the closest we can come is to measure the
by-products of such things )

HOWEVER,

Using a salt or saline solution primer also produces a milky white
