It is of the opinion of most here that the actual CS does not react with the HCl
in the stomach, but that any ionic does. Then most of the silver chloride
precipitates out in the stomach.

Not a dumb question at all.

We all know that MSP and silver chloride can cause argyria. Do you know of any

I don't either, nor even an ounce.  But if you are talking about silver chloride
or MSP, that is another story.

Huh?  I though they all consumed either a silver salt or MSP.  Did you have one
that consumed true CS?  Was it true electrolytically made CS made with distilled
water? (If it was made with tap or spring water, then we would be back to the
silver salts again).  Do you have any additional details on this one?

I have been using 80PPM CS for two years now, at least thats what I
think it is as I have no PPM meter.  I usually take an ounce in am and Pm
also.  So far I have not turned any other color .
   I did have a client who started using CS and she got grey patches
on her elbows, however when she cut back the grey went away.  I later found
out that she was taking all kinds of drugs for something and I am sure that
caused a reaction.
   In two and a half years of using CS she is the only one who had

There seems to be a major shift in philosophy developing here. Until
this
discussion began, the dominant Silver List thought was that CS could
NOT
cause arygria. Now we are hearing that high strength CS CAN cause
argyria.
Is there any evidence to support this contention?

I have been consuming Microdyn CS, whatever its strength is, for six
years,
at times heavily, straight out of the bottle into my mouth.

During a bout of Australian flu three years ago, I drank 10 drops of
Microdyn every hour, right out of the bottle, for three straight
days.
(There were elderly people dying in NYC from that flu, and I didn't
want to
be one of them.)

Additionally, my drinking water is a prepared mix of sea salt,
bentonite
clay and Microdyn, which I consume daily.

I have never had any adverse reactions to this practice, and
consider
Microdyn safe for consumption undiluted.

If I turn blue, I'll let you know. So far the only part of me that's
blue is
my eyes.

I am not certain it has shifted.  The problem is likely that the 500 ppm CS that
is sold is really not cs, but MSP, and we do know that msp can cause argyria.
So if you call 500 ppm msp colloial silver, then yes it can, but if you say it
is not really CS, then I know of no known cases of it causing argyria.

I do believe that silver can deposit in growing tissue even when using fairly
large quantities of low ppm CS.  I have evidence of this in my finger nails
which are now growing out, and a blue area is growing out with them from when I
was drinking quarts a day for something for a week or so.  There are also
reports of gray hair darkening when taking CS, which is likely do to the same
thing, since hair and fingernails are almost identical composition.

Now that tends to raise the questions of whether some deposit may end up when
something is healing. I have never heard any evidence of this, but it does seem
possible.

The only place I have seen it show up is in the finger nails, and darkening of

I just read the last half of your message, and I dont think that's a bad
observation at all (about mixing CS and salt).   It may even be true.

 But it goes beyond what happens in the stomach, for I mix the two together
in a base mix which often takes months to deplete.  Maybe I am making silver
chloride by doing so.   It certainly is worth thinking about.

However, the issue is one best addressed by some of the finer minds on this
list, for my chemistry expertise is very limited.  Non-existent would be
more accurate.

Bentonite clay is used primarily (in the U.S. anyway) for facial clay beauty
pack application, because of its well-known ability to cleanse and detox
through its high absorption characteristic (which is the same way it
deodorizes cat boxes).

I use a variety made for beauty use, because it is ground to an extremely
fine powder.

Bill:

In my opinion, correct!

However, that said, I'm not exactly certain what Microdyn is, as I've never
researched it.  High PPM colloidal silvers are rarely "isolated" silver...
Usually they are compounds, either silver salts or silver proteins.  The
higher the PPM, the harder it is to stabilize CS without some sort of
stabilizer.

Bill:

I've corresponded with three individuals over the last year who have
developed Argyria, and I'm aware of two other cases.

The two other cases were caused by Mild Silver Protein.  One was caused
by the mass consumption of poorly made silver chloride for five years
daily. One actually posted to the list earlier this year, and the mild
Argyria was caused by Water Oz.  The third was also caused by consuming
Mild Silver Protein.

Not everyone, apparently, is at the same level of risk for Argyria.

I don't consider ten drops of CS excessive use, even undiluted.  The
individual whom developed severe Argyria consumed either eight or
sixteen ounces of CS daily, religously, for five years.

Those who consume bentonite regularly will likely have a metabolism that
is more capable of processing any number of toxic substances used in the
body; the body's elimination system is well cared for with such a habit,
and liver functions are greatly supported.

Bill:

I've corresponded with three individuals over the last year who have
developed Argyria, and I'm aware of two other cases.

The two other cases were caused by Mild Silver Protein.  One was caused by
the mass consumption of poorly made silver chloride for five years daily.
One actually posted to the list earlier this year, and the mild Argyria was
caused by Water Oz.  The third was also caused by consuming Mild Silver
Protein.

Not everyone, apparently, is at the same level of risk for Argyria.

I don't consider ten drops of CS excessive use, even undiluted.  The
individual whom developed severe Argyria consumed either eight or sixteen
ounces of CS daily, religously, for five years.

Those who consume bentonite regularly will likely have a metabolism that is
more capable of processing any number of toxic substances used in the body;
the body's elimination system is well cared for with such a habit, and liver
functions are greatly supported.

Kind Regards,

Jason

2002-09-29 Thread Bill Missett
I drink very mild mixture, with pure unprocessed sea salt for the 82
minerals and trace elements it contains, and bentonite clay to detox and
cleanse liver and kidneys.  (The mix is two tablespoons of each in two
liters of water, with two tablespoons of the mix diluted in two liters of
fresh water, so it is a very mild dose.)

I've been doing the bentonite for about five years, and am just about ready
to discontinue it, as soon as my supply is used up, because I think 5 years
of cleansing should make my liver and kidneys shine in the dark.

I have been using 80PPM CS for two years now, at least thats what I think 
it is as I have no PPM meter.  I usually take an ounce in am and Pm also.  So

  I did have a client who started using CS and she got grey patches on her 
elbows, however when she cut back the grey went away.  I later found out that 
she was taking all kinds of drugs for something and I am sure that caused a

There seems to be a major shift in philosophy developing here. Until this
discussion began, the dominant Silver List thought was that CS could NOT
cause arygria. Now we are hearing that high strength CS CAN cause argyria.
Is there any evidence to support this contention?

I have been consuming Microdyn CS, whatever its strength is, for six years,
at times heavily, straight out of the bottle into my mouth.

During a bout of Australian flu three years ago, I drank 10 drops of
Microdyn every hour, right out of the bottle, for three straight days.
(There were elderly people dying in NYC from that flu, and I didn't want to
be one of them.)

Additionally, my drinking water is a prepared mix of sea salt, bentonite
clay and Microdyn, which I consume daily.

I have never had any adverse reactions to this practice, and consider
Microdyn safe for consumption undiluted.

If I turn blue, I'll let you know. So far the only part of me that's blue is

Reid:

I've done a bit of further research concerning ceramic filters, and I do
understand that using a low PPM silver product would not be adequate for
such a purpose.  I've seen a study where a 50 PPM high quality CS was used
for such a purpose, and the results were not satisfactory.

As far as the MD's go, my personal opinion is that anyone could use any
substance safely ( provided it could be used safely! ) with proper product
knowledge...  But it is apparently contrary to successful business practices
for some of these companies to fully disclose information to their
customers.  Thus, the ethical solution is to have MD's purchase the
substance and supervise use.

I would love to see the MD's role switched more to the role of an educator
and advisor as far as general health goes.  Of course, critical care is an
entirely different ball game.

Warm Regards,

Jason

 Even the mudiest of muds still contains a great deal of ions and small

RE: CS>reply from a company selling 500ppm CS

2002-09-27 Thread James Osbourne, Holmes
I know little of zeta potential.  I think it has to with the sum of the
attractive and repulsive forces influencing colloids.  In silver sols, it
means the likleyhood of them combining into larger particles.  Most
commentators believe that the smaller particles are responsible for the
anti-pathogenic qualities.

The strength of that charge may also relate to the potency of a particle.

Some commercial makers also believe that  cooler water makes smaller
particles.

I use a HVAC generator, and when I run it for extended periods, the sol is
golden-tan.

Since it has been demonstrated that very low dilutions of fine-particle CS
are effective against most pathogens, I prefer a lower concentration of
small particles and large dosage volumes.

Thank you for the description of your generator, I have added it to my
collection.

Dear James-Osbourne: Holmes,
I am not familiar with the means by which Microdyn and others in Mexico
are making their concentrated CS, but am under the impression that they
could be making by the same means that I do.  Here are the basic
components of my generator (courtesy of educate-yourself.org):
1.  a two liter erlenmeyer flask with rubber stopper, through which is
set a thermometer and the two electrodes
2.  a double boiler into which the flask is set
3.  an electrical converter which outputs 27volts DC
During the process the temperature is kept just under boiling.  Polarity
is switched every minute, in order to prevent current runaway.  This
also minimizes the amount of silver oxide that collects on the
electrodes.  I generally run the generator for three or four hours which
yields ~200ppm, but if one were to run it for a couple of days they'd
get upto ppm in the thousands.  At 200ppm it looks like glorious *mud*
to reflected light, but put a strong light behind it and you'll see that
it's still clear.

I am unfamiliar with zeta potential so would welcome your observations
on that.
Reid

James-Osbourne: Holmes,
Are the very high concentrations made electolytically?  If they are made
by
precipitation, the Zeta potential may be very different.

Reid:

My greatest concern with the high PPM solutions is misuse.  You'll note that
in a previous message, the original company that manufactured what was
likely MSP only sold the product to doctors...  That this doctor then
decided to retail it to others is besides the point!

There are reasons for this.  I consider companies that only sell these high
PPM products to doctors ethical companies.  I consider companies that do
not, unethical, in that all the companies ( all that I have been able to
find with similiar products ) do not claim that there is no risk to use.
The fact of the matter is, there is no risk to use, provided that the
instructions on the label are followed.

Judging from the emails I've received over the last two years, there are
many people out there using high PPM MSP as if it were electro-colloidal
silver; undiluted, and taking amounts that certainly do produce a
considerable risk, even if only a cosmetic one.

I'm very certain that silver citrate is a bit different than many of the
products out there, including the one in a recent post... But the statement
that the "colloidal silver" was effective at 250 PPM + is frightening.  I'm
almost willing to bet that either someone didn't do the testing correctly,
or that someone crossed their information somewhere.

I certainly understand your point.  If I were in a third world country
without access to distilled water, I wouldn't hesitate to use what was at my
disposal, including tap water if necessary.

Have you considered having a comparison done on your product, to see how
effective it really is ( once diluted to useable )?

That might be revealing, and might either put your mind at ease, or give you
something more to shoot for...

Kind Regards,

Jason

PS:  Yes, I certainly agree and know that high concentrations of CS can be

testing
until the effectiveness drops off.  If you start with 5 to 20 ppm CS,
out tests
indicate that this does not occur until about a 10:1 dilution. IE. it is

Now if, as we believe, high ppm CS is not very effective becaue of the

I don't know this for a fact, just anecdotally.  When I joined the list
several years ago,  I made that claim and was immediately "corrected" by one
of the older hands on the list who informed me that to his knowledge,
Microdyn had never been tested for particle strength on a spectrograph.

He seemed to know the facts, and since my "3200ppm" claim was just my
extrapolation of the label claim, I adopted his explanation as truth.

I even inquired within the past year about getting Microdyn formally tested,
to put the question to rest, but since I'm living on SS down here, I didn't
have the $35 fee to contribute to the cause.

I'd love to know for sure myself.

Are the very high concentrations made electolytically?  If they are made by
precipitation, the Zeta potential may be very different.

Bill,
Good to hear from you, and I value your observations.  Can you tell me
what reason you may have to believe Microdyn is not 3200ppm?  And I do
know that Biopur states on the label that it is 1500ppm.  If Microdyn is
not 3200 I would imagine that at the very least it's well over the
500ppm we've been talking.  I do know that Microdyn is being used quite
successfully in silver saturating pottery water filtration elements
around Central America and the Carribean, removing 100% of fecal
coliforms. Some of these filters are still effective after seven years
of continuous use, and are yet another CS boon to the poor.  On the
other hand the manufacturers of the filters also advertise these as
being saturated with 3200ppm CS.

Can someone else on the list kindly help in putting to rest the very
misquided notion that concentrated CS is *not* a reality?
Namaste,
Reid

Apparently Microdyn and the others have not been officially tested by

The "3200ppm claim" comes from the fact that most of the commercial CS
brands (but not all) are rated as being "0.32 percent"  CS.  That would
be
3200 parts of a million, but not the 3200ppm we're talking about, as I
understand it.

But Mexican CS is very potent, works quickly and is cheap.  A 1.3 ounce
bottle costs less than a dollar and lasts at least a month with daily
usage.

The entire city of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, population 1 million, has
successfully used CS to purify the city's water supply for the past 40
years.

2002-09-26 Thread Ode Coyote

 The only real questions are
 How strong can you make it and still have small particles?
No one really knows and no one has had much success with very high
concentrations...mileage varies.

If it is 500 PPM, is it small colorless particles or does it look like
brown, black or green mud?
Anyone can make mud.

Yes.

I won't go into this, there are others more qualified then I that can
comment with, I assume, factual data.

I will contact them tomorrow.  We had CS tested by UT and they found
effectiveness in the less than 1 ppm range.
