MCT Fund Update 7/31 AM
There were no updates on 7/30. More funds have been pledged. They are shown below. First, however, an editorial comment in response to bjs' concerns (which I appreciate): >There are those that want other people to tell them what >to do with their money, and there are those that would >like to make that decision for themselves. We should >error on the safe side. Just think of it as a little tax cut for >the already over exceeded goal. I guess this is unpopular >with the higher ups around here. It is really starting to turn >me off to be honest. We as a group can do anything we >want, and we will. Once they start controlling the money, >there will be none. Let's keep it clean as we can. >bjs As the instigator of the MCT idea, and having inherited the responsibility to track the pledges, my policy is the following: The pledges being listed as part of an MCT Fund are for the purpose of testing home brewed colloidal silver (possibly compared to a commercial brand) for either bacteriostatic properties (limiting growth/reproduction of bacteria) or for bactericidal properties (ability to kill bacteria). Pledges can be made or withdrawn at any time until a decision is made and money is sent. Decisions will be made by unanimous vote. Anyone not voting or disenting, when the time comes, will be considered to have withdrawn their pledge. Lab tests will not be done and checks will not be cashed until the final committed amount has been received. I will publicly disclose what funds have been received once we get to that point. I will respect anyone's desires to remain anonymous, but will still disclose the amounts accordingly. Therefore, I concur with M. Devour's opinion that funds for different purposes be kept separate. I don't want to be involved in collecting or reallocating money for Jim's efforts, mostly because it could be too complicated and messy. I've put my money where my mouth is. I think Jim's work is valuable. I think it deserves to be supported financially. I've sent $50 to Jim Einert and I've restated my $50 pledge to the Microbial Challenge Test. I recommit myself to obtaining solid proposals for the MCT from one or more labs. Although it appears that there is evidence that some silver products either kill bacteria or limit its growth, I want to know how a home-made brew stacks up. I agree that we need to define the manufacturing process and quality standards of what we test. Please, don't anyone feel forced or coerced to support any efforts by members of this group in any particular direction. When the time comes, you'll do your real voting with your checkbook, after using your brain and your heart. Until then, all pledges are simply an indication of the level of support you feel you can give, assuming you agree with the direction most of us choose to go in. Based on responses to date, the support for a microbial test is clear. Before anyone sends a red cent, I'll give you enough information to hang me high if I'm irresponsible with your precious resources, and I promise to account publicly and meticulously for every penny. I will also report the results publicly for everyone's benefit. Bob Wells The latest MCT pledge is now $635: Bob Leel...@fbtc.net$20.00 Tom Young tyo...@esslink.com $20.00 Bruce K.

Closing in on the mark folks! Just absolutely wonderful. Lets bring it on home. The tentative target is $400.00 based on Bob Well's original contact.

Put me down for $10 as that's all I can afford right now; wish it could be more. Let me know where to send my check.

MCT Fund Update
For CHC and any other newcomers: We are collecting pledges to handle the cost of laboratory testing of CS at different concentrations against different pathogens Are we talking about in petri dishes? Like doing Lab Culture & Sensitivity studies??? Who will do the tests? Thanks for the clarification guys. I am just trying to get up to speed. Does anyone know, or has anyone read anything about HOW the CS works? Colloidal Silver was used for years for different problems, infections, diseases, etc, do you think dosage and treatment info would be available in archives somewhere Does anyone have any ideas about this???. Thank you in advance. chc -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

MCT Fund Update
OK, it seems that we have at least some interest in getting our own testing done, so for now let's press on. Thanks to all who've pledged. Almost half way there already!!

Maybe after this is done we could have a volunteer take a very specific dose on a daily basis for a month then have their blood tested for CS levels.
