Hi, All.
Thanks to my husband, and to Reid Smith and another Internet contact,
I've been able to produce my own CS with a homemade CS generator. It's
pretty much the one described on the Rife list last fall, but my husband
modified it by using a 24 volt ac-dc converter rather than 3 nine volt
batteries.
I found a particular booklet for $3.50 quite informative on CS. It
doesn't tell you how to make your own generator, but discusses just
about every aspect of CS, including methods, tests for it for ppm and
particle size, and what they mean, and more. Based on other studies,
research and old documents, "Colloidal Silver, the Natural Antibiotic
Alternative," by Zane Baranowski (ZB), CN (certified nutritionist) was
available at a nature food/health supplements store near me.
Regarding particle size, ZB indicates that colloidal silver by
definition should be 0.01 to 0.001 of a micron in diameter. If the
solution requires a stabilizer, then the particles are probably too
big. The process of making CS by electrolysis (non-chemical method)
produces particles that range in size from 0.005-0.015 microns n
diameter (p.11). And, according to the chart on p.3, true colloidal
particles will pass through ordinary filter paper whereas CS particles
slightly above .001 microns will not.
So it would seem that running your CS through filter paper would
eliminate most of the particles slightly above .001 ppm. I filter mine
anyway to catch any possible large silver oxide or other precipitates
> from silver chloride. Of course, it would be wise to test for the
particle size if CS someone's injecting it.
I wouldn't use my CS (orally) until it was tested at a local lab for
ppm. The first batch (only a 5 minute process of 250 cc distilled H2O
and 1 granule sea salt plus Ag wire .999) produced not .02 as I
mis-typed to Reid, but even less, .012 ppm (parts per million)! I next
processed it for 30 minutes and got a respectable 3.03 ppm, which was
worth using for treatment of my chronic Lyme disease. I still would
like to get it up into the 10-20 ppm range, and will test a 60 minute
process 0f 325 ml at a later date.
In closely watching the process, I observed that as time went on, more
particles came off the lead at a more rapid rate, so based on the big
difference between test 1 (5 min.) and test 2, (30 min.) it appears that
ppm increase does not correlate additively minute by minute. In other
words, I don't think, based on 3ppm for 30 minutes, that I'll get 6 ppm
in 60 minutes, but most likely even more ppm. I think it will be
greater, because I think that the more silver there is in solution, the
faster the particles leave the silver wire and go into solution. Even
for oral use, I would not recommend anybody using their homemade
solution without testing it at least once by a lab for ppm.
My lab report indicates the ppm in terms of mg/L, but it is represents
the equivalent measure in ppm. And the cost range I heard of for the
test is $15-$20, the higher figure is what mine costs at the nearest lab
that can test for silver. I also ran a test for nickel to make sure I
wasn't ripped off by the silver wire co., and that was "BDL," below
detection limit. Small price to pay considering what commercial CS
would cost.
Any comments/suggestions?
As far as any effects from taking CS, I've had some but I interpret them
as good signs that it is killing off LD candida, and common viral
germs. When I increased the quantity I was taking (once I was making my
own economical brew) I got reactions I interpret as Herxes as they often
occur about 3 hours after I take CS. I frequently experience mild,
overall pain in my large muscles, fatigue, and a "sick," sometimes
slightly nauseous feeling long after the CS has entered my system. This
only happened since I started taking the equivalent of 30ppm daily at
the end of December. Also, I find it necessary to supplement my diet
with acidophilus as there is apparently some kill off of it along with
the candida; perhaps I don't keep it in my mouth long enough.
Ear buzzing that plagued me with LD is gone, and I have an overall
feeling of wellness that has matched my response to the best oral
antibiotics I've been on for LD. I had monthly depression due to LD &
hormone dips, but that's gone too, since I started CS this fall. I
still get milder LD relapses: aches and have trouble spelling & typing
(didn't before LD) recalling names & choosing words occasionally (could
be permanent damage), but it is very satifying to feel I might not need
to depend on harsh, commercial, expensive abx indefinitely, and maybe
over time I'll be cured. CS is doing as well as those abx. I haven't
had any colds or flu or secondary bacterial infections (sinus or
otherwise) since I stopped abx in Oct and started on CS (storebought
5ppm at that time.) I used to get at least one in the fall, and one in
the spring, followed by sinus infections.) If I don't get my annual
week-long bout of laryngitis (L) doesn't kick in this mo. or next, I'll
know why. I've only been hoarse part of a day here or there, and had
slight sniffles (mostly after eating soup!); no full blown colds or L!
I attribute slight post nasal drip to local candida, which I haven't
quite gotten over yet. CS is amazing!
A couple tsps of CS, one dose only, has kept my asthmatic son from
heading into a serious cold twice after having 3 already with asthma
since fall.
I am happy to see that the atmosphere of this group has stabilized.
Thanks to Gary exercising control! His idea of temporary
suspension seems fair. There certainly are polite ways of disagreeing &
correcting misconceptions, and agitation & namecalling as children do,
serves no purpose except to show our weaknesses, no matter how it
starts.
