RE: CSTesting pH?
Continued reading up on ph testing is gradually steering me towards either test strips or those el cheapo type meters similar to soil moisture testers, just a long prong you stick in the dirt {or in this case, water}, either of the above seems like the best 'less fuss' option for my purpose.

Hi Neville, The keeping wet instruction is to prevent premature death of the pH probe. they go for years if looked after properly . Some probes may go down, never to recover, in a month or so if not cared for. OK, Tony On 5 Jul 2010 at 10:57, Neville Munn wrote about : Subject : RE: CSTesting pH?

Buffers, as you say, are designed to adjust the pH to a particular value, and don't necessarily have anything to do with measuring the pH.

Acne is primarily a condition caused by liver congestion. There is often a relationship between acne and acidic body conditions. David's earlier advice was about the best I've seen. Taking colloidal silver will not cure severe acne. It can help to control it. The first thing that needs to be done is a complete bowel cleanse. You need to test the PH levels of the body, and if the ph level of your saliva is 6.5 or below, you need to correct this. You may find that your PH level is between 4.5 - 5.1. When the PH level of the fluids in the soft tissues is more acidic than the normal range of your skin, no treatment will be successful. Your elimination system needs to be stimulated. Your colon must be restored. This alone can take a substantial amount of time. Then, the liver must be restored to health. Many of the supplements on the market today are not easy on the liver. So taking mass supplements without a targeted purpose for each one can result in the exact opposite: An increase in the exteriorization of the condition. Any established and chronic infection can be tough to wipe out, even when the conditions that cause the problem are reversed. Colloidal silver may start to become more effective as the conditions in your body are corrected. Keep in mind that chronic acne is cyclic. Colloidal silver used topically can do two things: stop the spreading of bacteria on the surface of your skin, or increase the spread... Depending on how dry your skin is. Better to make a very light gel with CS and aloe vera. MSM added is beneficial. Taking extremely large quantities of colloidal silver ( orally ) may effectively treat the condition. However, this is not adviseable, as if you don't identify and correct the cause, you'll be setting yourself up for some severe problems. Some very tough conditions, such, as nuero-syphilis, can take as much as 32 ounces of colloidal silver daily to cure. There are many avenu bacteria problem (acne) 2 years. i am hungry but i just take a look at food and nothing is appetizeing. foods i once liked don't even taste good. it's all just food. i have no food i like any more. its a battery operated colloidal silver generator. very basic. $40.00 i guess i will get a ppm tester. does price have anything to do with quality when buying a ppm tester.j e82...@aol.com wrote:Honey, it sounds like you are definitely overdoing it a tad on everything. Just how long have you had this bacteria problem? If you are using JUST CS and nothing else...like the peroxide in the CS...you should NOT have any acne problem. The youghurt is not for the acne...it is to try and calm down your digestive system which at this point sounds like it's in deep trouble if you are not hungry. If I were you (this is just if I were you and NOT to be considered medical advice) I would just back it down with the vitamins, grapefruit pills, etc. and just clean out my system and give it a rest. You sound like you are bombarding your system right now and it's doing what it should - violently react to everything. I have this virus and I tried to knock it out of my system by taking ! about 10 oz of CS every day. The only thing it did was make the virus mad and made me feel worse!!! I stopped the CS for a few days and then gradually (and I do mean gradually) started taking one oz a day and now I feel better. You need to remember the CS is just like a drug...but it is nature's drug...and you don't have to overdo it to get the benefits. I, too, thought that more was betterNO it it no How are you making your CS? What kind of generator are you using? Is it electric or battery? The battery ones tend to get a bit weak and your mixture would therefore be weak also. I use the Silver Generator from Silver Puppy. That is the best. I also spent about $20 some dollars and bought a PPM tester (Hanna) off Ebay. Now I don't have to guess my strengthI test it. I definitely would recommend stopping the peroxide immediately. Make up a brand new batch of CS right now and throw the o! ld batches away. They are not doing you any good and maybe they are harming you. You are not supposed to ingest stuff like peroxide and that could possibly be causing your problems. Hey, it's worth a try, yes? This way you can eliminate everything and then very gradually start adding things back to your body gradually... What originally started this bacteria thing anyway? Was it a cut or something like that on your face...or are you just being
