Thank you everyone for the smooth running list of the last couple of weeks. All your efforts are having an effect on the momentum we're feeling. A couple of topics are coming up that might upset some folks and I'd like to comment on one of them here...
What I have to say is *for the sake of the skeptics* that we certainly have on the list, more than anyone else. You're here to find out about CS. Like me you've heard things that make you think it could be an effective substance. But what's all this other stuff? For myself, although I have no personal experience with muscle testing, I have no problem with it being mentioned or offered as an option for those who are interested. If we were just a bunch of alternative types preaching to the choir here, there'd be no problem. But, we're reaching people like you who are *sure* that we must be a bunch of loons for discussing such bizarre stuff. If this drives you away before you learn what you wanted to know about CS, then we've hurt you *and* ourselves. This is a fear with all of the more unlikely sounding ideas: lunar influences, aura's and fields, synchrometers, even tried and true subjects like homeopathy. This week's example is muscle testing. I try to make it clear that whatever is brought up, we all have the right to our beliefs and nobody should be attacked for them. The makeup of this group puts those like you and me, with orthodox beliefs, in the uncomfortable position of being just *one* of many possible views of reality, with no particular standing except a reputation for arrogance! <grin> So when subjects come up that are "in your face" unconventional, I would like you to know you needn't fear for our sanity and you don't have to believe everything you hear to be one of us, benefit from CS or to help us in our study. *I* won't try to predict where the next great breakthrough will come from. For that reason I won't try to stop folks from sharing their unconventional ideas, any more than I'll censure you for choosing not to believe them. I just ask all to treat one another with civility and respect. Diversity of opinion is inevitable on this list. If it's not central to Colloidal Silver, we must agree to disagree. When we're on topic, let's work toward consensus, and hopefully, the truth. I for one am glad chc is with us. His enthusiasm is obvious and contagious. I hope we'll be able to produce results that will help him in his Lyme research. Be well, my friends.
