CS for Burns

1999-05-17 Thread Dean Woodward
Hi Listers:

My wife burned her hand rather severely while cooking. Since she is midway
through cemo therapy it scared us. We applied home-made (LVDC) CS, and the
pain stopped instantly. The burn healed well, with only a little topical
antibiotic for the last bit of healing. Bear in mind that the chemo has
reduced her white count to ZERO!

CSLess is Better?

1998-11-15 Thread Dean Woodward
Hi Mike, Bruce, Bob, etc. etc.

I have been experimenting with CS for awhile now, and found it very useful.
I don't (to my knowledge) have any major infections, so have been using CS
topically for athlete's foot and jock itch which I have fought most of my
life. It really helps. So, take what I say here as it applies to topical
uses - I don't know if the same thing would apply for internal use.

Recently I started making higher concentrations (usual 3 9-volt batteries,
wire from Marsha, current-limiting bulb, etc.) of 35to 40 ppm (Hanna
WP1), and started to see decreasing effectiveness in the CS. Recently was in
Needville and arranged to visit with Bob Lee (hi-Bob), who has authored so
many really well-thought-out posts on this list. Bob commented that lower
concentrations seem to work better. That, coupled with my recent experience
with less effectiveness from higher concentrations, led me to try very low
concentration. I made a batch that tested at 5 ppm, and barely made a
Tyndall trace with red laser pointer. Have tried it on the jock itch, and
the result has been startlingly good. Makes me wonder if less really is
better, and if so why. Could it be that the silver particles are far enough
apart in the colloid that they have less inclination to floculate, and
therefore are available to function.

I would be very interested in the experience of others in this regard, and
in any theories to support the observations.

 Hi Dean and list,

  Be careful now,we like you around.
  Had a problem once at Naval Station in Memphis Tenn. Built a new
 Technical training complex for Aviation Electronics schools.First class
 of students were getting shocked all over the place. Seems the wiring
 all over the place was wrong. We staff people said we could fix it
 right,but they forced the contractors to do it. They couldn`t fix it
 after three weeks. So the local SeaBee Reserve Unit was activated to do
 it. After a week they did ask us to help, week later all was well.:-)
   Seems the main power coming down the road was a old WW2 four phase
 system which was then ran into a new three phase Delta-Y system thru a
 polygon tranformer substation. We staff did all the phasing and wire
 IDing and the CB`s did the wiring. Did the whole complex in one week and
 had classes going again.
  Seems I have digressed here,back to Deans house.I will tell you what
 I`ve done in the past and you can do it if you want to.
  Take the cover off of you power panel and connect a long wire (so it
 will reach where ever you want it to) to the neutral buss and get the
 end of it into your kitchen. This wire is your house ground. Measure
 from it to your sink,should be zero volts(have seen hot sinks because of
 disposal problems). Next measure from the house ground wire (the one you
 brought to the kitchen)to your wall receptical to the round ground hole,
 should be zero volts. Next measure to the longer of the two slots, (its
 a system ground) should be zero volts. Next measure to the shorter of
 the two slots. Should be 115 to 120 volts. If all of this is good,
 problem is not the house wiring.
  Read from short slot to sink,should read line volts(115 to 120). Read
 long slot to sink, should be zero.
  Now plug in the distiller, leave top off (don`t plug it in),don`t push
 in the power switch (don`t want it on yet).Read from the neutral wire
 you brought into the kitchen to the pot,should be zero volts (maybe a
 few millivolts with a digital meter).If its not zero volts there is a
 problem in the distiller.
  The distiller has a nut on the bottom (just one nut).UNPLUG the
 distiller and remove the nut. This will let you take it apart. Check for
 any water inside the wiring. If its wet dry it with a hair drier. Make
 sure its dry where the heater wires are. After its dry and no wires are
 pinched put it back together. TEST from the neutral wire to the pot
 again (has to be plugged in). If its not zero volts,take it in for
 service.
  Hope this helps some. :-)
   Bless you  Bob  Lee

You are correct, Dean.  I first looked askance at the turn the plug
around idea because virtually all modern 2 wire power cords are polarised.
However the one on the Sears distiller is NOT polarised.  It can be easily
inverted. One direction I read 0.7 VAC in the other direction I read 24 VAC.
Guess you need to plug it in the right way and leave it there.

Incidentally, any of you who have the EcoWater portable distiller, it
is the same product.  If you look closely on the Sears package or on labels
it will say Manufacturer EcoWater.  It surprises me that a product that
pulls 5A can ship with a nonpolarised 2 wire plug AND still get the UL

 just checked the wall socket and have 120 volts ac from one connector

think that
 is normal. I don't have any idea where I am getting the 50 volts. If
the
 heating element is grounded at 50/120 of the way from one end, then
turning
 the plug around should make the reading 70 volts. But it doesn't. They

  Hi Joyce and listers,

  Sorry to hear about all your smell problems.
  In early posting I said I never let any thing touch or get into the pot
 ,only water and my stainless steel cleaning pad. Also dry it well before
 putting it away. Never had a smell or taste problem. Would suggest
 puting a pinch of baking soda in the water before distilling to help the
 taste. The baking soda will be left behind when done distilling.
  Always let it cool down before cleaning,just use tap water and the
 stainless pad. I never would use any organic substance for cleaning(
 lemon,apple,vineagar). :-)

CSWARNING: Shock Hazard, Sears Distiller

1998-09-17 Thread Dean Woodward
I have observed a potentially serious problem, at least in the Sears water
distiller which I have.

The problem: When the unit is plugged in the entire inner stainless steel
container carries full line voltage. I measured the voltage from the water
inside the shell to ground (stainless kitchen sink) and it was 123 volts ac.

In normal use this may not be a problem, as the plastic outer case of the
distiller insulates the inner container. However, if the unit is left
plugged in while refilling it there could be serious risk.

I don't know if this is a general problem, or just a problem with my unit. I
intend to ask Sears that question.

Meantime, be aware of a potential safety risk!

All the best,
Dean


RE: Measuring the particle size of CS

Sent:   Sunday, September 06, 1998 10:23 PM
To: Silver List
Subject:Measuring the particle size of CS

I would like to submit a possible approach to measuring the size of silver
particles in CS that does not require a microscope.  The method is drawn
from soil science, specifically, methods used to analyze particle sizes in
soil.

Particles of soil are routinely sized by passing a sample through a series
of sieves.  However, it is only practical to sieve particles down to a
diameter of about 50 microns.  Nearly all soils have particles smaller than
this.  In fact, clay particles are defined as particles with a diameter of 2
microns or less.  Beyond the sieving limit of 50 microns, a sedimentation
method is usually employed to determine silt and clay particle sizes.  These
methods rely on Stokes' Law, which can be used to calculate the settling
rate of various sizes of particles of known density in a fluid medium of
known viscosity.  I will give a version of Stokes' Law below in equation
form:


t =18hn/d^2g(ps-pf)

t = time in seconds
h = settling distance in centimeters
n = viscosity of the fluid in poise
d = the diameter of the particle in centimeters
ps = the density of the particle
pf = the density of the fluid
g = gravitational constant = 980.7 centimeters per second squared

now some values, all for a temperature of 20 degrees centigrade

viscosity of water = 0.01002 poise
density of silver = 10.5 grams per cubic centimeter
density of water = 0.998 grams per cubic centimeter

Suppose we do our measurements of settling in water at 20 degrees
centigrade.  Furthermore, we want to know how much time it will take a
silver particle of specific diameter to settle 10 centimeters in the fluid.
Then substituting the appropriate values into Stokes' equation ( I have
excluded the units for simplicity, they reduce to centimeters):

t = 1.8/(d^2)(9320)

Now suppose we want to know how long it will take silver particles of
various sizes to settle a distance of 10 cm in water.  All that is needed is
to enter the particle diameter (in centimeters) into the above equation and
solve for t.  (note that d^2 is my notation for d squared).  Now I will
solve the equation for particles of the following sizes: 10 microns (=0.001
cm), 1 micron (=0.0001 cm), 0.1 micron (=0.1 cm), 0.01 micron (=0.01
cm).  Then here are the settling times:

10 micron particles will settle 10 cm in 3.2 minutes

1 micron particles will settle 10 cm in 5.4 hours

0.1 micron particles will settle 10 cm in 22 days

0.01 micron particles will settle 10 cm in 6.1 years

There is one key assumption in these figures and that is that there is no
significant effect of thermal motion in the atoms of the fluid to keep
particles suspended, i.e. Brownian Motion.  Since I am not a physicist, I am
not able to comment specifically on this point.  I know from soil science
that the 1 micron particles will not be kept in suspension to any
significant degree by Brownian Motion.  However, Brownian Motion may have
some effect on the 0.1 and 0.01 micron particles.  If so, these particles
would stay in suspension longer than the figures given above, possibly an
indefinite amount of time.

So how can we use this information to measure the particle sizes of silver
in CS?  First you make up a fresh batch of CS and analyze it immediately for
PPM of silver.  You may need to shake the CS to suspend larger particles (if
you have particles in the 10 micron or higher size range).  Then suppose you
set the CS aside for 5.4 hours with the temperature at 20 degrees
centigrade.  After this time you carefully withdraw a sample with a pipet at
a depth of 10 cm from the liquid surface.  The amount of the sample must be
small compared to the total amount of CS.  Then you analyze this sample for
PPM.  The second sample should contain silver particles of 1 micron diameter
or less.  If the PPM of both samples are about the same, then you can assume
that your CS contains particles of 1 micron or less.  Now if you let your CS
sit for 22 days and take a third sample at 10 cm below the liquid surface,
you can determine how much of your silver is 0.1 micron or less in size
(this assumes that a 0.1 micron particle will indeed settle 10 cm in 22
days - a fact that I can't guarantee without further study).

There may be several pitfalls to this approach.  Nevertheless, I submit it
to you as food for thought.

Jeff La Favre

something in particular with the local water. Try distilling some bottled
spring water, and see if you can isolate the cause. Also, there are two
little carbon bags which go in the spout which do the final filtering. Be
sure those are in place.

Subject:Re: SEARS WATER DISTILLER

Hi Joyce and all -

I just got my SEARS DISTILLER but haven't tried it yet since I was
waiting to find out about the aluminum factor, so I can't comment on
the burnt taste. But I called KENMORE - who actually makes the machine
which SEARS only sells - and they checked with their tech dept and
assured me that it *was* stainless steel, then faxed me a copy of the
tech sheet with a description of the boiling pot as being stainless
steel. Then, I was re-reading the directions and noticed that they say
stainless steel boiling pot (which I'd missed the first time) in the
first time use and set-up section. Then someone on the list said that
there were 2 types of stainless steel and that a magnet would stick to
the safe one, so I took a little refridgerator magnet and it sticks just
fine! I guess it passes all tests for safety. I've noticed other
companies selling what looks like this model for A LOT MORE $$!
WaterWise has what looks like the exact same thing for $300 and a place
out of Australia is selling it for $500+! I paid $120 on sale!

Joyce: Did you sample water from the FIRST batch?? They say in the
directions that you have to break it in because there's factory
residue in it that will affect the taste!

Dameon

I tried the SEARS water distiller, but the water did NOT taste very
good--sort of burntish.  I tried adding Microhydrin to make it more
like
Hunza water, but the burnt taste was still there.  Drinking burnt
water
doesn't appeal to me very much.

Do any of you know how to clean up the taste of this water?

Also, the pot seems to be made of aluminum like Daemon mentioned, and I
noticed that although the aluminum content went down in the distilled
water, it did not go down as drastically as the other metals did.

:)  Joyce

P.S.  My school dumped my mail, so please re-send if you emailed me
anything between:

July 1 to July 7
July 18 to 20 Thank you!

inspections of existing literature/research results relating to
Excitotoxinsand their effect on the human brain.  Among our sources we
discovered the work of Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.  Our entire staff was
thunder-struck by the evidence Dr. Blaylock revealed.  I encourage all
members of this list to avail themselves  of a general review of his work.
This gentleman is a world-class  neurosurgeon/pathologist who
communicates quite understandably to the lay-person.  For a revealing,
shocking revelation of one of the most tragicand pressing problems

Subject:Doc stuff and more

Wil, Ted and other list members,

I appreciate all your thoughtful comments and I hope I was not taken to
be holding the position that doctors are infallable. Progress and truth
are perpetually moving targets that all are hopefully striving toward.
There is much to say on this whole issue and it touches on many
disparate but related things. I will try to stay focused.

My posting was in response to the doctor bashing and generally
negative view of what is called western medicine. Given the marvellous
history of western medicine this strikes me as something akin to
slapping your kid because he only got a B+ on his report card instead of
an A. Room for improvement. Absolutely. But not too shabby nonetheless.

I have great sympathy for Damien and his problem. My family lost a dear
friend last year to CF. A delightful young man of 21 years with much
promise and we are still saddened by the thought of it. I also have a
close friend, a 40 year old woman, who was saved from the ravages of
breast cancer by the same western medicine that failed our young friend.
I would be the last to deny that we as human beings have much to learn
but we is where we is.

Since beginning to look into CS about six or eight months ago I have
come to believe that there is the POSSIBILITY that this may be a
substance of serious importance that has been overlooked. The majority
of evidence presented on this list has been anecdotal in nature. This is
not to diminish it but the fact remains that this is not the strongest
form of evidence on which to conclude the truth of a thing. Wil, you are
right that it has much value as a feedback mechanism, serving to confirm
and bolster the confidence in conlusions drawn from experiment and
controlled study. An example. A friend of mine was suffering for months
from a sinus problem resulting in headaches, runny nose, and flu-like
symptoms. I gave her some of my homebrewed CS of indeterminate
concentration which she began to take. Within a week all the symptoms
that had plagued her for months were gone. Did the CS cure her? Damned
if I know. Maybe it was an allergy and she changed her shampoo. Maybe
she dropped something from her diet. Maybe it was only coincidence and
her immune system finally just caught up to the task. These are the kind
of problems that are presented with anecdotal evidence.  Well, you might
say, look at all the positive anecdotes presented here. Again, for
drawing scientific conclusions it is no more than suggestive. Maybe
those who try CS and get no results simply walk away without ever
reporting the negative results. It seems to me that much on the list is
asserted as fact e.g. that 650 known pathogens can be killed by CS, or
that CS is both bactericidal and virucidal, or that CS functions by
disrupting the metablic pathways of bacteria, etc, is really nothing
more than opinion, speculation, or the repetition of previously espoused
myth. This sort of talk is fine and fun but does nothing to move CS
closer to having a solid base of test evidence which might intrigue
mainstream researchers enough to take the ball and run with it.

About a week or so ago Bob Wells posted an interesting message about a
friend that put him in contact with a firm that specialized in doing
microbial challenge tests for industry. They were supposed to be quite
capable of determining the minimum inhibitory concentration of a
particular substance. The cost for testing was given at about $400. This
strikes me as exactly the kind of basic science that we should be
pursuing. I suggested at that time that we start a small fund to cover
the cost of such testing and that I would be happy to salt it with $20
to get started.  No response :( . I reopen the challenge now and I will
up the ante. With a positive response from the list I will throw in $50
to jump start it. Don't tell me that you all wouldn't love to see the
results of such a test! I know that I would.

Best to all,

Doug.

Subject:Just received my Hanna TDS-1!

I just received my Hanna TDS-1 yesterday.  It cost me $14.95
plus shipping. The first thing I did was to test the water
from my kitchen faucet.  We have our own well.  It tested at
78-79 ppm.  Then I tested the water from our Amway water
filter.  It registered 74-75 ppm.  I next tested distilled
water made by my Sears distiller.  It tested at 1ppm.  I
also tested the store-bought distilled water.  It also
tested 1-2 ppm.  So far, so good.  I tested my home-brewed
CS, and it tested at 18-20 ppm.  We make it with 3 9v
batteries hooked in series and attached to the silver wire.
We do not  have a light bulb connected to the series, though
I want to make this improvement soon.  The silver wire is
held in place by a board in which I drilled a couple of
small holes about half an inch apart.  I got the silver wire
(.999 pure) from a place suggested by Marsha (Liahona).  I
place the board over an 8 oz Kerr bottling jar relatively
full of distilled water.  I use the board mostly because
someone suggested that, ideally,  the wire shouldn't touch
the bottle, and it seems easier to manage the contraption
this way.  We let the thing run until one of the leads is
pretty gunky.  We haven't been very careful about timing.
We simply assume that when the annode is pretty covered with
flakes and the water seems yellowish in color we have an
adequate concentration of CS.  I'm pretty happy with the
18-20 ppm result of the last batch.  Just for fun, my wife
tested a commercial variety of CS that we have on hand.  It
claims to be 10 ppm.  You can imagine my surprise when it
tested at 98 ppm.  Now I'm confused.  Either my TDS-1 isn't
calibrated correctly (and therefore all of my measurements
are suspect) or the commercial brand I have is under-rated.
Maybe I should have both my home brew and the commercial
stuff tested at a lab?  What might this cost?  By the way,
one thing I've noticed is that when I drink colloidal
silver, I can't taste it with my tongue, but the taste buds
at the back of my throat sense a metallic type of flavor
that sticks for a bit.
Bob

I have purchased one of the 'Sears water distillers, and am extremely

As I have no knowledge of these machines, can anyone guide me as to what

Guess I will find out tomorrow, but are there any rubber hoses, or other

RE: More technical questions.

1998-05-26 Thread Dean Woodward
List: I heartily endorse that comment. I bought three different
steam-distilled waters at our local supermarket. Here are the
resistivities of these waters as measured by my (amateur) ohmmeter.

Tap Water: 376,000 Ohms
Reverse Osmosis Water: 690,000 Ohms
Janette Lee Distilled Water: 903,000 Ohms
Ozarka Distilled Water: 1,300,000 Ohms
Oasis Distilled Water: 2,000,000 Ohms

Now, I admit that my measurement techniques and equipment leave something to
be desired. However, I tried to keep the test conditions the same for all
tested samples. I am investigating acquiring a standard probe for measuring
resistivity, and when I do I will report back to the group.

In the meantime, use the very best distilled water you can find.

 By the way, a friend brought by a gallon of Sure- Fine Distilled

 whiteish cloudyness in CS generating process... Tested 17ppm of
 something = badly contaminated distilled water...  probably tells us we
 may not be able to trust the labels of all store bought water... if you
 find a brand that tests 0 to 1 ppm with the TDS1, stick with it.

I used a Hanna TDS1 to check some Sure-Fine Distilled Water',

bought at the same store, and got distilled water at 1ppm. So it
ain't all the same folks!!!

RE: American Cancer Society

1998-05-26 Thread Dean Woodward
I'm sure that there are some profit-motivated people in research who are
more interested in their income than they are in saving lives. I am also
sure that they are very much in the minority, and that more people in
research are as interested as you and I in seeing lives saved. My own son is
an MD, and I have been privvy to the extent to which he goes to protect the
lives entrusted to his care. I am 1000% sure that he would never suppress
information that would be of value to his patients in order to increase his
income.

So, please, let's not paint with so wide a brush that we tar those good
people who are devoting their lives to helping others live longer, more
comfortable, lives.

We don't need to do that. Let's concentrate on the positive, rather than the
negative.

The present positive is that we have access to what is arguably the most
positive force yet made available to man - that is colloidal silver. We can
never bring this development to the majority of the people without active,
knowing, convinced participation of the main-stream medical world. If you
doubt this please read the book A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked
by Jack Dreyfus. Or, even better, read his book The Lion of Wall Street by
the same author which details his efforts  to bring to the medical community
the truth - that Dilantin has a vast range of benefits apart from the
anticonvulsant role to which the medical establishment has relegated it. I
can personally attest to the truth of his mission in that thirty years ago
Jack Dreyfus' efforts saved my life. Thirty years later those efforts
continue to contribute to the quality of my life.

We need convinced people who will help us establish not the truth of our
position on CS, but the TRUTH ABOUT CS!  I believe that ultimately we must
form a non-profit, publicly-supported, corporation which will take CS
through the arduous process of testing and justification to our government,
in the form of the FDA. If we can do that it will be the first time in
history, and will be an historic event of the first order. Power to the
people will then be a reality.

RE: Finally - My first attempt ! How did I do ?

1998-05-21 Thread Dean Woodward
Frank and List:

I, too, lurked about a long time, and have finally gotten busy making CS. I
have used four different approaches, culminating this morning by actually
following Mike's instructions, and I can tell you that is a winner. I am
having lab tests done on all four products, and will post, in detail, what I
did, how I did it, and what the results were. When Aggie engineers move,
they move (just catch our baseball team!).

One thing is very clear, and amplifies what Mike has been saying about salt.
If you put a microampere meter in the circuit you will find that even the
purest distilled water you can find will carry a few hundred microamperes of
current from the outset. If you leave it running and meter it you will find
a continuous increase in current. So, not using salt (or previous batches as
seed simply stretches out the process a little. I don't find this a big
problem.

I don't know why no one I have read after ever mentioned the artistic beauty
of the filmy, diaphanous web of particles which comes off the cathode when
things really get going. I am going to try to create some art from this.

I am glad that things worked out well with your wife g.

G'day.

Subject:Finally - My first attempt ! How did I do ?

Well, after lurking for ages and humming and hahing, I finally got around to
making not only the generator but a first batch ! Tonight.

My generator is based on Tom Miller's design, 24 VAC rectified and using 20
Ma.

I  have 2.5mm fine silver wire electrodes. I decided on using the same on
both
trodes figuring I would simply alternate which was the anode. That way I
have
double the electrode life without worrying about whether a different metal
cathode would affect the quality of my brew. I had 6 cms (almost 2 1/2)
immersed into 250 ml (8 oz) of distilled water.

I haven't got around to making my own distilled water yet (not sure which
way
to go) so I bought some bottled stuff from the supermarket. There was
absolutely no reaction and I had to toss in about 10 ml 0.9% sodium chloride
solution (irrigation sachet from pharmacy) and it roared off. I used the
irrigation sachet because I assumed that being pharmaceutical grade it HAD
to
be pure NaCl and better than table salt.

So I let it brew for 10 mins. There were reasonable quantities of small
bubbles
coming from one electrode and there was a slight milky haze around the other
with it slowly building up a whitish/creamy surface. Towards the end a milky
tail was starting to drop down underneath it.

The solution itself, when completed, had a slight white opaque appearance to
it. I tasted it and there was a floury taste to it. Not unpleasant or
bitey,
just  -  something! The residue on the cathode was a creamy white on the
outer
surface to an almost grey close to the metal. It came off easily just by
rubbing my fingers over the wire.

My wife is uncomfortable with a bit of mastitis at the moment and I
remembered
reading something somewhere that it helps. But wouldn't you know it ! I
couldn't remember whether you had to drink it or rub it in. So being the
caring
husband that I am, I wanted to make sure I helped so I insisted on both
drinking and topical application. Naturally I volunteered to put it on. And
folks, I'm convinced this CS stuff must work because I feel better already
after putting it on for her! But I'll let you know later whether she does.

So what do you think? Am I off and running or did I just get a cheap thrill?

Regards...Frank

RE: second effort

1998-05-14 Thread Dean Woodward
The type of bulb you are looking for is one that will draw 40 milliamperes
of current at 28 Volts (in other words, if you hooked this bulb up to 3
9-volt batteries it would draw 40 milliamperes of current). If you hook it
up to 4 9-volt batteries you are putting it on 36 volts. This will draw more
current by the same ratio as the voltages, that is 36/27 times 40 = 53+
milliamperes. This bulb will glow very brightly, but probably will not burn
out.  So...it is ok to use. The only real purpose of the bulb is to limit
the current if your electrodes short out (as they probably will), and would
otherwise draw a lot of current and drag your batteries down. This is all
very simple stuff (for an Aggie Electrical Engineer) - I don't know why you
find it confusing - they teach it in Electrical Engineering 101! :)

RE: Abscessed tooth

1998-05-14 Thread Dean Woodward
Hello: I am no dentist, but I did publish patient educational audio/visual
materials in the dental field, and hence spent quite a bit of time with
dentists. Add to that the fact that my teeth were wrecked by the time I was
15 years old (no care), and I do know a bit about teeth. First of all, teeth
are generally lost because of periodontal disease, which destroys the bone,
loosens the tooth, and eventually it is lost. A nerve dying does not in
itself signify loss of the tooth - I have a mouth full of dead teeth which
work just fine (and no tooth ache!). Abscess is a threat, but antibiotics
can help control this and the body can usually defeat the infection which is
what an abscess is. After that it settles down.

I am using CS nightly rinse, and it is controlling my periodontal problem,
and my mouth is extremely comfortable - no pink tooth brush, and the placque
has just disappeared (placque is caused by bacteria, and the CS takes good
care of that).

Hope these thoughts help.

God Bless!

Hi Vern,

Right now, Claire Gilbert  I are involuntary experts on unhappy teeth.

Both of us are using 'Under the Gum', an herbal mixture that is used in 
a
waterpik device. It's from the Dental Herb Co, 1-800-747-4372, in
Northampton, MA. I've just used it twice, so I can't comment much, except
to say I like it.

Viktoras Kulvinskas, Survival in the 21st Century, was the only helpful
information I could find. He advocates using alkaline paste or seasalt for
brushing. Seawater or grass juice,  zone therapy in the knuckles of
fingers  toes will relieve a toothache.

To keep the tooth, he recommends reducing the acid condition of the 
body.
Use several enemas during the day (I've been finding colonics VERY
helpful). Eat alkaline juices, sprouts, sesame seed  sea vegetables. I
mostly eat fruits  vegetables, but I concentrated on taking chlorophyll,
barley grass powder, beet powder,  wheat grass.

I have an infection, so I've been using the zapper; I also had one
occasion to use it as a TENS type device to reduce the pain. Spot magnets
will aid circulation, healing  pain relief.

I also been using lots of bee pollen, with all the B vitamins. B's are 
for
the nerves, so it seemed logical, as well as lots of organic cheese. Claire
uses raw, unprocessed honey on her gums.

Basically, I would reduce any demands on your body--stress, toxins,
pollutants and increase all nutritive avenues--extra rest, power foods,
lots of purified water.

Here Goes!

1998-05-10 Thread Dean Woodward
Tired of standing on the sidelines and letting everyone else have all the
fun!

Today I built my generator, and just for fun, not having yet received my
silver I put copper wires into tap water (like Mike), and got exactly the
same reaction (i.e. a cloud of white coming off one electrode, and bubbles
off the other). Once again, not trying to be scientific, but curious, I put
the same electrodes into water from our reverse osmosis water system, and
the result was totally different. After a bit of time I started to see tiny
bubbles form on one electrode, but no cloud coming off the other. Now, I
have no idea how many ppm manages to get through the RO membrane, but I will
do some experiments and report back to the group. RO water is cheaper than
distilled water.

I agree that it is fun to watch things start to happen from something as
simple as 3- 9-volt batteries and a light bulb. How simple can you get?

This whole thing is mind-blowing. I have some ideas of how we might be able
to be the first in history to by-pass the drug industry and get something
approved (Power to the People!!!).

Dan and Doug are both correct, in that you can get by without solder.

Solder becomes *mandatory* when your connection will be subjected to
mechanical stress, bending, vibration, or corrosive environments.
Electronic equipment is soldered because it is assumed that it will
be subjected to *all* of these!

My only caution would be to check the resistance and/or re-make the

 Subject:Voltage  Current.

 I know there was a couple of articles recently about how much silver
 is in a CS solution based on calculations relating to current in the
 production process. These articles referred to current but not
 voltage. Can we assume that voltage is not relevant in any way to the
 production. (sorry for my electrical ignorance). I ask this because
 I've seen various devices described running from 1 X 9 volt battery, 3
 X 9volt batteries, plug packs supplying 30 volts etc.

 The Thomas Millar article (http://www.infocom/~thomil/silver.htm)
 suggests that the particles are produced by mechanical action, the
 current knocking off small particles of silver as it passes through
 the solution. If so then presumably the higher the current the bigger
 the particles. And this is where the colour comes into it
 (apparently). Another article states that the smaller the particles
 the lighter the colour. Clear for  best/smallest, light  yellow for
 acceptable, then onto to brown, green and gray for much bigger
 particles.

 However. Thomas Millar says that the longer you take to produce a
 solution, the more likely you are to form chemical compounds with any
 of the impurities or salts in the solution.  As I understand it pure
 distilled water is not conductive and at least a tiny amount of sodium
 chloride is required to allow current to pass thru it. So there will
 always be at least some silver chloride in with the colloidal.
 Apparently most silver compounds are described as being a pale yellow
 colour so I suppose it's hard to destinguish between optimum silver
 particle size and the amount of impurity in any given solution.

 I also presume that a larger electrode surface area would produce any
 given ppm concentration faster than a smaller one. eg a 1cm strip of
 silver would be faster than a 12 guage wire. Is this correct? And if
 so how can we calculate the difference?

 Does the conductivity of the solution change as the  ppm goes up? I
 ask this because Bob Lee mentioned in one of his posts that his
 current starts low and slowly rises as it goes along.

 Sorry to barge in with so many questions without so much as an intro
 from me :) But you guys have convinced me CS is worth a go and I'll be
 building a generator as soon as I clear up the above.

 Best regards ... Frank

RE: Voltage Current.

1998-04-28 Thread Dean Woodward
I am unable to access the Thomas Millar article cited here. It must have
been removed from the Infocom server. Does anyone have a copy I can borrow??

Subject:Voltage  Current.

I know there was a couple of articles recently about how much silver
is in a CS solution based on calculations relating to current in the
production process. These articles referred to current but not
voltage. Can we assume that voltage is not relevant in any way to the
production. (sorry for my electrical ignorance). I ask this because
I've seen various devices described running from 1 X 9 volt battery, 3
X 9volt batteries, plug packs supplying 30 volts etc.

The Thomas Millar article (http://www.infocom/~thomil/silver.htm)
suggests that the particles are produced by mechanical action, the
current knocking off small particles of silver as it passes through
the solution. If so then presumably the higher the current the bigger
the particles. And this is where the colour comes into it
(apparently). Another article states that the smaller the particles
the lighter the colour. Clear for  best/smallest, light  yellow for
acceptable, then onto to brown, green and gray for much bigger
particles.

However. Thomas Millar says that the longer you take to produce a
solution, the more likely you are to form chemical compounds with any
of the impurities or salts in the solution.  As I understand it pure
distilled water is not conductive and at least a tiny amount of sodium
chloride is required to allow current to pass thru it. So there will
always be at least some silver chloride in with the colloidal.
Apparently most silver compounds are described as being a pale yellow
colour so I suppose it's hard to destinguish between optimum silver
particle size and the amount of impurity in any given solution.

I also presume that a larger electrode surface area would produce any
given ppm concentration faster than a smaller one. eg a 1cm strip of
silver would be faster than a 12 guage wire. Is this correct? And if
so how can we calculate the difference?

Does the conductivity of the solution change as the  ppm goes up? I
ask this because Bob Lee mentioned in one of his posts that his
current starts low and slowly rises as it goes along.

Sorry to barge in with so many questions without so much as an intro
from me :) But you guys have convinced me CS is worth a go and I'll be
building a generator as soon as I clear up the above.

Best regards ... Frank

Personal Experience

1998-04-19 Thread Dean Woodward
 of the Prof's
here in Texas AM University to critique my work, and some of my lab friends
to run mass/Spec tests. We'll see. Meantime I'm kinda busy working with the
public schools, as you can see from my web site. I'm far from retired, and
may never!

Mike: Keep up the good work! You're very effective.  Hope to meet you
someday.

Regards to all,

RE: Web page prototype...

1998-03-08 Thread Dean Woodward
I am a new member of the list. I don't have Lyme (thanks be to God!), but my 
wife sure does, and I am doing everything in my power to help her. I'm in the 
listening mode at the moment, and certainly want to know a lot more about CS.

The only suggestion I would make is that your web page include citations and 
links to any formal research into use of CS for any disease, including Lyme. If 
this stuff is as good as it appears, then the world is going to find it out. We 
all know the old saw If it sounds to good to be true, it probably ain't 
grin. However, something in my personal experience makes me sit up and take 
notice when metals and health get involved. Briefly, when I was a kid back on 
the farm my father and I were having terrible boils - I mean really big, bad 
ones, and lots of them. A local country doc suggested that we take tin tablets. 
We did, and the boils immediately went away never to return during my father's 
lifetime, and so far during mine (I am 73). Coincidence? I think not!

Subject:Web page prototype...

I've published the rough framework of a web site for the silver list. 
For the time being the URL is as follows:

   http://www.eskimo.com/~mdevour/silver-list

I have a number of technical questions on web development and I'm 
sure some of you would like to contribute links and information to 
the content. I welcome any level of collaboration.

I don't want to clutter the list up with technical chatter, though. 
So if you'd like to work with me on finishing the web site, please 
let me know. I'll put together a distribution list so we can chat off 
list about the details.

On-list, I'd like to hear any comments and suggestions you all have 
for content, style, accessability, and organization. 

There is no real content yet. I'd like that to change! I need your 
help. Thank you!

Mike D.
