CS>Best type of Vitamin C to buy
Hi Richard - I've decided that taking something like the Super Quercitin formulated by Bluebonnet is best for me since its the best sort of "C Complex" I can come up with. Lots of people follow Linus Pauling's work on L-ascorbic acid xclusively and he was an awfully smart guy. However I'm increasingly convinced by holistic argunments that the body needs a complex of VitCs to assimilate properly. I am a bit concerned though about whatever degree of heat might be used in the processing, since heat tends to destroy VitC. Its pretty hard to find information on how vitamins are processed, in my experience. my 2cents, DByron -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

CS>generator repair question
I want to thank everyone who responded. One person suggested that the downside of thermal stirring is that the water actually moves too fast in the jar which causes fuzzy deposits on the electrodes. If that's true then it seems a bubbler would move water even faster, thus causing more deposits. I hope Brooks will comment on whether he's seen this. I'd also like to mention that I never stored a generator unless completely dry and never set it upside down so that water could run into the motor - these units are expensive and I'm meticulous about maintenance. When the problem initially showed up last year, I did reposition the plastic tube covering the motor shaft which worked for a while - then it just burned out completely. A couple of experts have opined that corrosion is inevitable when such a motor operates that close to water. All the suggestions are very much appreciated - its hard being without CS/EIS for very long. There are now several options and I'm going to focus on finding the best alternative stirring method - either heat, magnetic or bubbler.

I'm hoping someone knowledgeable about CS generators might be able to help me with a repair question. The stirring motor on my SG-6 has gone out and the quote for fixing/replacing it is one third the original price I paid about 2 years ago. I've made around 10 gallons of CS during that time. At least one other person with an identical unit reports having the same problem, had the stirring motor replaced, and had that motor burn out as well.

Re: CS>Tooth Pain
Greetings everyone - I posted this once before but will mention it again in case it was skimmed over, because I know how bad dental problems can be. Its what I would do first: dip a Q-tip into diluted dmso, then into tea tree oil and rub directly onto the affected area - repeat. Swish and hold EIS/CS in your mouth several times a day, then drink a little as well. Take mega doses of VitC - up to 10K units at at time until it produces the runs, then back off a bit, keep it up for a few days. Drink lots of water.

CS>Kennedy Seeks to Prohibit Much Alternative Medicine
This is an urgent message to engage your support to stop planned legislation that could eliminate compounding pharmacies in the U.S. Basically the legislation, sponsored by Senator Kennedy, would place control of compounding in the hands of the FDA, which wants to severely restrict what pharmacists can do. This compounding legislation being drafted by Senators Kennedy, Burr and Roberts is the biggest threat that pharmacists have seen to their compounding practices. The implications are disastrous and would impact all compounders - big, small, urban, rural, hospital, community and more. The stakes are truly high. Fortunately there is an affiliate patient and physician advocacy organization - P2C2 - with more than 25,000 members. To defeat this legislation we are going to need hundreds of thousands of patients calling on their members of Congress.

Here's another testimonial... A few weeks ago both my husband and my elderly mother had the beginnings of dental infections/abscesses underneath their bridgework. My mother's condition was most serious by far with significant pain and a great deal of swelling in one jaw. Both of them knocked the infections out in very short order by taking mega-doses of vitamin C powder (calcium ascorbate), swabbing the affected area with a Q-tip soaked in Tea Tree Oil/DMSO, and swishing/holding CS in their mouths several times a day. Both of them would have been subject to very expensive and invasive bridge replacements if they had rushed to the dentist. Instead they were pain-free and asymptomatic within THREE DAYS with no dental visits necessary. Both are continuing to take reduced amts. of VitC and are paying close attention to the problem areas but were just amazed.

CS>grapefruit seed extract
This information came up on a cosmetics list where lots of attention is given to how substances are extracted and preserved. It looks by these studies as if the antimicrobial action commonly attributed to GSE is in fact caused by chemicals used to process it. I don't like it either, but people need accurate information. Deborah * Identification of benzethonium chloride in commercial grapefruit seed extracts. Takeoka G, Dao L, Wong RY, Lundin R, Mahoney N. J Agric Food Chem. 2001 Jul;49(7):3316-20. Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, California 94710, USA. g...@pw.usda.gov Commercial grapefruit seed extracts (GSE) were extracted with chloroform. The solvent was evaporated, and the resulting solid was subsequently analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis (by proton-induced X-ray emission [PIXE] analysis). The main constituent was identified as benzethonium chloride, a synthetic antimicrobial agent commonly used in cosmetics and other topical applications. This compound comprised 8.03% (n = 2) of the liquid GSE sample. Higher amounts of benzethonium chloride were found in powder GSE samples. -- Aspects of the antimicrobial efficacy of grapefruit seed extract and its relation to preservative substances contained. von Woedtke T, Schluter B, Pflegel P, Lindequist U, Julich WD. Pharmazie. 1999 Jun;54(6):452-6. Institute of Pharmacy, Ernst Moritz Arndt University, Greifswald, Germany. The antimicrobial efficacy as well as the content of preservative agents of six commercially available grapefruit seed extracts were examined. Five of the six extracts showed a high growth inhibiting activity against the test germs Bacillus subtilis SBUG 14, Micrococcus flavus SBUG 16, Staphylococcus aureus SBUG 11, Serratia marcescens SBUG 9, Escherichia coli SBUG 17, Proteus mirabilis SBUG 47, and Candida maltosa SBUG 700. In all of the antimicrobial active grapefruit seed extracts, the preservative benzethonium chloride was detected by thin layer chromatography. Additionally, three extracts contained the preserving substances triclosan and methyl parabene. In only one of the grapefruit seed extracts tested no preservative agent was found. However, with this extract as well as with several self-made extracts from seed and juiceless pulp of grapefruits (Citrus paradisi) no antimicrobial activity could be detected (standard serial broth dilution assay, agar diffusion test). Thus, it is concluded that the potent as well as nearly universal antimicrobial activity being attributed to grapefruit seed extract is merely due to the synthetic preservative agents contained within. Natural products with antimicrobial activity do not appear to be present. -- [Analysis of components in natural food additive "grapefruit seed extract" by HPLC and LC/MS] Sakamoto S, Sato K, Maitani T, Yamada T. Eisei Shikenjo Hokoku. 1996;(114):38-42. The components in a commercial natural food additive "Grapefruit seed extract" and the ethanol extract of grapefruit seeds were analyzed by HPLC and LC/MS. The HPLC chromatogram of the commercial grapefruit seed extract was quite different from that of the ethanol extract of grapefruit seeds. Three main peaks were observed in the chromatogram of the commercial grapefruit seed extract. By comparison of the retention times and the absorption spectra with those of authentic samples, two peaks were ascribed to methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate and 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenylether (triclosan). Triclosan was also identified by LC/MS by using the negative electrospray ionization method. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

Re: CS>msp to mike monet
So I stopped using dw in HDPE containers, and switched to PET. This works a lot better. Regards, Mike M. Hi Mike - I've never seen dw sold in PET, only the 'milk jug' plastic. Do you mean that you transfer it to a PET container after purchase...or maybe you have a distiller? thx, Deborah -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

CS>inner ear infection/EIS
This is a situation a friend is going through that involves the inner ear, which I don't recall being addressed on the list. To make a somewhat long story short, she has wound up with a bad irritation (which has probably now progressed to an infection) in one inner ear that is sending her to the MD's office. When she asked this morning about the use of CS/EIS, I got to thinking what I might have tired was 1) before it got so bad, fill the ear canal with some warmed EIS or EIS/GSE and lie on my side so that it would remain there for several minutes before turning over and draining it out...or 2) to address an actual infection, add a couple drops of DMSO and use the same method. I know inner ear infections are very painful and said to be potentially quite serious in terms of hearing loss, so hitting it ASAP is critical. I'd like to know for my own information whether anyone has tried this method or a similar one that worked and allowed them to avoid antibiotics.

CS>Silver product claims
Companies marketing these types of bandages apparently have no qualms about making claims. I wonder if its because their claims don't involve 'colloidal' silver. http://www.elastoplast.ca/index.php?p=73&lang=2 DByron -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

Re: CS>apricot seeds,milk based probiotics
Is it true that bitter almonds are not allowed to be sold here in the US, as I've seen mentioned on-line? I'd like to know a source for ordering.

Re: CS>FresherLonger Miracle Food Storage
Is this use of silver embedded into plastic likely to be effective--Doesn't EIS need to be in solution (water) in order to work?

Re: CS>Welcome Ann!
Ann--Everything about kefir and the so-called grains (the living organisms that do the culturing) is on this website. Kefir made this way is different and better than commercial pasturized products, yummy though they may be. http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

Re: CS>Welcome Ann!
Dear Ann, You mention having allergies--wondering if you've heard that there is in fact a link between damaged intestinal flora (the kind of damage done by antibiotics) and allergies. Poor flora leads to incompletely digested material entering the blood stream which are then treated as foreign bodies by the immune system--thus the tendency to allergies. Besides using CS, you could look into making your own kefir as a way of restoring balance in the gut. Best, DByron -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

Re: CS>Oh, nooooo
I heard on last night's news that the horse had surgery and was up and walking on the leg almost immediately. So, good news...however, imo there should be a hefty fine, criminal charges and sanctions for owners who run an injured horse, if that is in fact what happened.
