Since I started this, I'm certainly good for $50. I'll let Doug keep the tally of commitments and will be happy to follow up on the lab side. What I think I'd like to do is talk to several labs to make sure we understand what we are paying for and what we expect to get. This will happen before any money gets collected. I think that all those making a monetary contribution ought to agree on the lab choice and on the procedure.
By the way, I received a fax from Nutri Team, the company that makes the GfSE. It includes test results on Nutri Biotic Liquid Disinfectant (GfSE), Microdyn Silver Oxide Suspension (I presume this is CS, but somebody help me out here), Suprayod Germicide (anybody know what this is?), Melaleuca Alternifolia, Aroma Vera Brand (again, I'm clueless here) and Clorox Bleach (I do know what this is <grin>. The tests were run by Bio Research Laboratories, Inc. in Redmond, WA. Some of the results appear to be from 1995 and others from 1998. I don't think I have all the pages I need to make an informed assessment of the information. I'll try to call them later today to discuss these results and talk to them about running our test for us. This should begin to get us some useful information about testing. I'll be happy to forward a copy of the fax to a few of you, but for cost reasons I reserve the right to send it only to those who are willing to make a commitment of at least $10 to helping pay for lab tests. I'll pay for all phone charges for faxing so no committed funds will be used to pay for faxing, but I think it only fair that I not have to fax it to everyone. It does get expensive to fax 8 pages. <grin>. Again, no money will be collected until we agree on the lab, the testing process, etc. If you want the fax, make your financial commitment publicly to the list or to Doug and then send me your fax and phone number privately. I'll make sure you get my numbers in the fax. Are we creating a team, or what!

Bob Wells had received an estimated cost of $400.00 to have the testing done. Maybe we can proceed like this. We'll keep a running list of pledges and when we hit the mark then we can send the funds to one person who could then pay the company. I'll repost the list every few days until either we get the funds pledged or interest is lost. Perhaps Bob Wells would consider being the final facilitator when we get the funds collected since he did the original research and made the necessary contacts at the lab? A firm number on cost would also be helpful. Whaddaya say Bob? Between now and then there are some additional issues to consider as Dameon so rightly points out. The basic question is "What should we test?" i.e. what source of CS, concentration, etc. Thoughts on this please. For now the fund stands as follows: Marsha Hallett <liah...@pacbell.net> - $20.00 Dameon likow...@earthlink.net - $10.00 Douglas McMurtrie <dmcmu...@bellatlantic.net> - $50.00 ______ Total to Date $80.00 Note to Wil, Thanks for your kind message. I'm taking your wise advice. Best to all, Doug. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
