I felt the pre feeling of the runs. anyway I won't do In my neck of the woods, what you get from Giardia is referred to as Beaver Fever and it will definately give you a case of the Hershey Squirts. :o) I am glad to hear CS works so well on Giardia. I will for sure put some bottles of CS in my jump off kit. I have a portable handpump filter system that filters out Giardia that is good for 600 gallons of drinking water but after that if necessary, the CS will go into play. A ounce per gallon of water should take care of it. That is the ratio I have been using in stored water. If you have any cuts or abrasions on your body and you bath in the water that has Giardia in it, you can become infected through breaks in you skin. It is said that Giardia is caused by animals urinating and dumping along and in streams and ponds.

Re: giardia and cryptosporidium treatable by cs?
Peter, I had an unusual feeling in my gut yesterday, due to I believe some reverse osmosis but giardia infected Sydney water. I drank from the filtered water quite accidently, and without thinking etc. although I have a distiller and all my CS and drinking water comes normally from this source. Anyway I was rushing out to drive 120 kms to a meeting - being a pleasant Saturday. I felt the pre feeling of the runs. anyway I won't do into any more detail. I put off my immediate departure, drank 130mls of distilled water with maybe 5 or 10 mls of 5 or 10ppm cs. Within two hours I felt comfortable enough to start on my drive. I believe the cs did the trick. The drive and the afternood was pleasantly without incidence! One still had the later sensation of some thing amiss in the digestive area and tract, but, it was definitely neutralised 95%. Of course I will now have to change the filters and clean the holding tank if one is going to drink from this source. I usually fill the distillers boiler from this system, purely because one gets much less mineral residue from the RO system. Better still I have to devise a way of introducing cs ato an area before the water starts on its filtering journey. Yes - I wonder if the cs particles are fine enough and will pass thru the filters?? I should ask the list this question!! Douglas Haack, Greenwich Village, Oz -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

giardia and cryptosporidium treatable by cs?
Dear silver colloiders, I posted a query regarding these two water borne parasites to the rife list,and was suggested to refer to you.Does anyone have info on cs effect upon giardia and cryptosporidium ?Apparently they survive chlorine & UV exposure undeterred,but can be boiled to death.There is a major concern in Sydney,Australia regarding the city water supply which has been found to be contaminated by the above critters. My guess is that ozonating might be effective,as this has been in use by local public swimming pools since a recent scare(same bugs).Hey,maybe there's a challenge for measuring cs "kill" using these 'strong' bugs?
