In theory that sounds great, but it's only half true. Thinking I would preserve some Kombucha tea (?sp), I added silver to the tea. This prevented the growth of fungi-bacteria for a while, but the organisms made a comeback. (Kombucha is a tea which is reputed to have healing properties when fungi-bacteria are gown in a tea-sugar mixture. Russians in high-radiation areas apparently had lower incidences of cancer attributable to this tea. I once bought some, but did not find much therapeutic value when compared to designer foods on the market. It's easier to take nice sanitary capsulated antioxidants to help prevent cancer. Besides, it wasn't too appetizing to see the slimy, gooey, white mass of fungi-bacteria growing above the tea water.) Here's some interesting information--There are now super strains of bacteria growing in high radiation areas--these bacteria produce high levels of antioxidants to survive. :) Joyce Inouye <jinou...@hills.ccsf.cc.ca.us> -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
