CS>Alchoholism treatments?
This may be off-topic, but I figure y'all may be interested in other innovative therapies and can direct me properly. A long time ago, I remember reading that some big rock star (I think he was one of Chicago, but can't be certain) attributed his recovery from drug addiction to some innovative medical device, and was very vocal about it. Either he or someone else tried to approach some of those fancy rehab centers, but were rebuffed. Finally, someone told him that they agreed the device probably worked, but they would never use it because it would put these rehab centers out of business. Back then, drug and alchohol rehab wasn't a topic I had much interest in, but it turns out we have a family member who is now afflicted. I'd like to find that info on the medical device, since the detox centers sure aren't working Thanks Linda

CS>OT maybe - rash
I'm hoping some of you people can help me solve a problem I'm having. It seems that I'm a bug magnet, and now that we've decided to spend more time outdoors, I get bitten all the time. I'm searching for solutions - first, to stop the bites, and secondly, to deal with them in the aftermath. A few years ago, something bit my wrist, and within 24 hours, my arm up to my elbow was hard and red and hot. About a month ago, I again got bitten in a couple of places, and got a terrible rash in three spots. While the scabs have finally all healed, the areas are still red and bumpy. I'm looking for something to do that will help me heal faster, and am open to all suggestions. I'm also trying to research what I can do in my diet or supplement regimen to maybe make me less attractive to these pests. We're planning on spending several years full-time in an RV, and I just don't want to live with these angry rashes and bug bites everywhere! Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: CS>making cs by the gallon cheaply
I still would like to know how to make CS by the gallon, because I want to use it not just internally, but I want to start using it instead of, or added to, other household products. With so many potential uses, it just makes sense that making it by the gallon would be better. Which brings up another question - is there a "shelf life" for CS?

CS>Colloid Master 777 or Silvergen SG6???
Okay, I've been lurking here for awhile, and I'm now ALMOST ready to make the leap to buying my first CS generator. While I'll eventually buy a combo unit BEer/CS maker from Alvin or SOTA, I've decided to go ahead right now with a dedicated CS generator. I think I've narrowed it down to these two units, but I'm having a tough time deciding. I'd love to hear opinions from some veterans out there. I like the Colloid Master 777s price ($50 less) and all the info on the site leads me to beleive these guys know their stuff. Also like that I can get a combo with a distiller and all the adapters (to use in our RV or dry camping), and a nice carrying case. The front panel of the unit seems more user-friendly to me, also. The SG6 is more expensive, but he has shown the guts, and it sure looks well-made. The big feature I like here is that it appears to screw right onto the receptacle jar. Price is not going to be the deciding factor here. I'm really interested in others' experience with ease of use, how long it takes to make a batch (say, 32 oz.), and quality.

CS>More water questions, please
Just when I think I've got this issue settled, you guys start giving me all kinds of new things to think about! Here's what I had JUST YESTERDAY decided to do for home water: Buy a whole-house purifying system that would take out chlorine and fluoride and other stuff. Just had the yellow pages out to call local companies and start investigating that. ON TOP OF THAT, get a small distiller to make my own distilled water for sprouting, CS making, etc. Having made those decisions, this morning I turn on the computer and there are all these messages about Prill Water, which I now think I misunderstood, and using MAGNETS at the water supply! Okay, I'm off researching again, but would appreciate comments LASTLY, we're getting our little camper ready for the summer, and I want to add a purifying system to that, also. I seem to recall seeing something that would connect right into the hose before it hits the camper, and I'm off looking for that. However, I get the feeling that there are a lot of people on this list who may already have solutions to this... Thanks!

CS>New topic - Survival plans.....
Okay, maybe I'm a little obsessive, but I must make a confession here. While I was mildly interested in checking out CS and other "home" remedies I could do myself, our health is pretty good at this time, so I was moving at a pretty slow pace. Until September 11. As those towers were coming down in NYC, I was driving into Chicago with the radio on, with the Sears Tower in my windshield the whole way. As the morning progressed, we had a lot of reports that there were still planes missing, and on flight patterns that would take them over Chicago The way I cope with stress best in cases like this is to make an assessment of my personal risks, figure out all the possible scenarios that may threaten me personally, and work out plans for what we'd do IF. In our case, risk assessment includes job sites within spitting distance of many high-profile locations in Chicago, home two blocks from a railroad track that regularly transports freight (including toxic/hazardous), a fuel storage facility between us and the nearest expressway entrance, and several nuclear plants and nuclear waste storage facilities "upwind" of us. Not to mention I had no idea how close we were to several "charities" that have been implicated in Al Qaeda. That guy that was arrested a couple of weeks ago? I drive right past his office building and apartment all the time. In putting together our personal survival gear, I decided to speed up my learn ing curve on alternative remedies to combat various potential problems. Have stocked sufficient Potassium Iodide, and am slowly putting together our personal "natural" first aid kit. Tea Tree Oil, H2O2, Oil of Oregano, garlic, and so on. In my view, these are all things I was slowly working on anyway. I've just factored in the potential of an imminent threat, and have decided to work gradually towards total self-control over life-preserving matters like water quality, food supply, etc. I've even learned to sprout, with good success (besides, it's healthier for us!) As I've spent time on this list, it would seem that many others are out there who are far ahead of me on the self-sufficiency line. If this topic is appropriate for this list, I'd love to hear if others are doing anything, or be referred to a forum where this topic may be discussed more. Thanks!

CS>Just Got my ZBB4!
Okay, my brand-new SOTA BEer is here, and I'm ready to try my first shot at making my own CS. I have a few questions: Per recommendations, I will use Walgreen's distilled water, until I get my own distiller. I will try two cups first, just to see if I can, and hopefully to make a "starter" for larger batches. I went to pull something out in which to make the CS, and realized that I don't know what to do to completely clean the glass without leaving a residue. My drinking glasses have all gone through a dishwasher with liquid dishwasing detergent. Is that sufficient? Or, I could use H2O2 or common chlorine bleach to clean the glass, but I don't know if either of these would impact the process. I eagerly await a response so I can get started! I'm SO excited!

I have a ZBB4 from SOTA to make the CS, what I'm looking for now is, once I have it, what do I do with it besides swallowing it? If I want to use it topically, do I add it to a cream? Dilute it with regular water and spray it, or spray it straight? If I want to use it to disinfect countertops, do I use it full-strength? If I dilute it, how much do I add to water? If I want to use it to get mold and mildew off the canvas of our camping gear, what do I do? Just spray it on straight, or mix it with a cleaning solution of some kind and scrub? You say to add a "dollop" to milk to keep it fresh. What's a "dollop?" Does it matter? If I want to use it to clean vegetables, do I just add some (how much) to the soak water? If I'm already adding H2O2, am I being redundant in adding the CS? THOSE are the kinds of recipes I was referring to

No, I don't mean a water softener. I've been realizing that, given my affection for whirlpool baths (long ones!), I would like to get as much junk out of all house water as I can, so I'm not sitting and soaking it in through my skin. Somewhere I read an experiment to try, to see how fast you absorb through the skin. I think it goes: purchase chlorine measuring stuff from a pool supply house. Pour a gallon of water and test its chlorine level. Then put your hand in the water for a count of 30 and retest the water. I'm still investigating purifiers for the house, so it wouldn't surprise me if I ended up with a countertop model for the kitchen, as well. Or maybe to take along RVing... Linda

Re: CS>West Nile Virus - Speaking of mosquitoes....
I seem to be a magnet for mosquitoes, spiders, and other little biting critters every time we go camping. Last weekend, I ended up with 6 nasty welts, mostly quarter-size, with one about the size of a deck of cards. Since my husband and I are planning to retire to a full-time RV life and spend a lot of time in the woods, I'm actively seeking solutions to make the bugs hate me without having to slather myself in DEET every minute of the day. The only thing off-limits are those noisy bug zappers - banned by most campgrounds. I'm trying to come up with an electronic repellant or a natural supplement or lotion that will repel bugs. If it works on raccoons, also, that would be a plus. We had an especially brave raccoon couple join us at our campfire one night - and I mean right at my elbow before I realized they were there!

My dentist > in > > Tijuana removed all at $25 a tooth. > I can't speak to the specifics of the cost difference here - Mexico does do a lot of things cheaper than in the U.S., so this may be legit. However, for those looking to have mercury fillings removed and replaced, I would caution that you interview your dentist very carefully to make sure s/he knows the proper procedure to do this without causing further damage. I have had all mine removed, but I had to switch dentists. My friendly neighborhood dentist continued to assert that mercury fillings were inert (question: what does the dentist do with the filling once it's out? He has to dispose of it as hazardous waste!). But, if it would make me feel better (I had already been told by my doctor that I had a mercury toxicity problem), he would just drill them out. My doctor had cautioned me to ask if he had received the special training to do this. When I asked, the dentist just laughed at me and said "how do you get them out except drill them?" Just drilling without taking proper precautions can cause more damage. The small particles end up down your throat and in your sinuses. The dentist who did the removal placed a rubber dam in my mouth to prevent particles from going down my throat, and gave me air over my nose to breathe through a mask so I wouldn't breathe in particles. He and his assistant came in fully masked (with those haz-mat masks, not the little paper ones) and goggled and rubber gloved. Then he prescribed chlorella and a bunch of other things to chelate the mercury out of my system. I haven't been back to be retested yet, but I feel confident that this dentist did it right. By the way, most insurance companies won't pay to have the fillings changed just because you want to, or even if your doctor says to have it done because of a known mercury toxicity. But a dentist who does this regularly will know how to complete a superbill to maximize insurance payments. Mine was almost all covered (not the supplements, just the procedure), because all my fillings were so old he got them to pay to have them replaced due to wear & tear (I don't know the technical way he wrote it up, but that was the upshot).

Re: CS>CS Lotion - Jean
I'd be interested in making a lotion for my mother-in-law to try. She has developed a case of psoriasis, and the prescription cream is $800/MONTH! I have been hesitant to suggest any alternatives, since a) she has ultimate faith in all these "expert" doctors who keep experimenting on her and my father-in-law, as long as the insurance company keeps paying, and b) her oldest daughter is now freeloading (oops, excuse me, living) there, and she is a self-proclaimed "expert" on alternatives, so I don't know how well my suggestion will be received. But, I'm willing to try. So, Jean, if you hit on a formula that works, could you share it? Also, for your information, my local health food store did have a cream on its shelf, which I tried to buy, but the owner insisted on opening it to check it before he rang it up. He said he had been having a lot of trouble with the cream drying up and turning into a little ball in the jar. Don't know if there's a problem with shelf life or something that you might need to consider if marketing it. He tried all the jars while I stood there, and all of them had the same problem.

I can't believe that what just came out of my mouth is EXPANSION of a government agency in any way, shape, or form. Those who know me would find this astounding! But what we're dealing with here are substances and therapies which are cheap, easy to administer, and impossible to patent or control in most cases. Mike is right, that profit-motivated companies and the research institutions they control aren't going to be interested in "discovering" cheap, non-toxic methods of curing illness, which have the potential of rendering many more expensive, patentable, and toxic therapies obsolete. So, the only place to get that work done, if what we want are documentable studies, is the government, under the guise of searching for less expensive alternatives to control the spiraling cost of health care.. Of course, I bet a whole lot of pharmaceutical and medical lobbyists will have a lot to say, and a lot of money to distribute to kill that idea Linda
CS>Character map - OT need help
I think it was on this list that someone described how to access the character map in windows. I did that, and I think I have lost the character map entirely. I know I had one - I have used it, but I followed the procedure of "start-run-charmap" and also tried a "find file or folder" and can't find the character map at all. I've tried going to a few Windows help sites, but I couldn't find out how to reinstall character map, and the MS site itself is overwhelming to try to get to Is there a computer guru out there who can help me figure out how to get my character map back?

CS>OT - Need help recovering data!
I figure that, if there is any way to repair my goof, someone on one of these lists will know where to go! I just returned from a breathtaking trip to Barcelona, and had taken hundreds of pics with my Sony Cybershot. In the confusion of trying to remember how to download directly to my photo program, I accidentally hit the "format - ok" button while one memory stick (nearly 100 pics) was in the camera I realized my mistake INSTANTLY, and popped the stick out within a fraction of a second, but now that stick reads "not formatted." I can't believe that it had time to erase all 128 mg of memory in that tiny fraction of a second, and wonder if there is anybody out there who might be able to recover my pics. Does anybody know of a tecchie out there who can do this? I'll gladly pay.. Thanks, Linda Ellis -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

CS>Nebulizer....
I'm adding to my arsenal of equipment here, and decided the next pieces will be a nebulizer and a humidifier for the bedroom - in part because DH has had a bit of sinus congestion that has been hanging on for a few weeks. When I plug it in tonite, what would you suggest I add to the humidifier to help break up this congestion. I should add that he spent the day yesterday in bed, feeling a bit weak - like maybe a flu was coming on, though he clearly doesn't have the flu yet, if it's even coming. Might also have been my announcement at breakfast that we needed to clean the basement..:-) Linda -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

CS>New CS question
I've been away from making CS for a little while, and yesterday I decided to make up a batch. I took out my mason jar, swished some distilled water around to clean it out, and then used my Walgreen's distilled water for the CS. I don't have a Hanna tester yet (I'm working on that!), so I've been kind of gauging that it was "done" when the color was a little golden. Well, last night, I saw no visible change in color in FIVE HOURS of "cooking" (using the SOTA unit). I finally fell asleep, and woke up this morning to realize that I had left the unit running for twelve hours. The silver wires were "bearded," but the color is still pretty clear. What did I do wrong? Linda -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
