Hello to you all. I live in South Africa and we (my dad & I) have been studying the effects and workability CS for almost two years. I was surprised (and somewhat relieved) to find a group so large who find this product as effective and interesting as we do - my thanks to Mike for taking the initiative to set this up. We came across CS whilst searching the internet for information on the application of electrical impulses and how they may cure disease, particularly cancer.
We have visited almost every site and read almost every source to establish the safest and most effective way of producing CS. We initially made a unit (from batteries and silver rods) and began taking the solution to see if it was really as effective as those made it out to be. Well, WOW ! We gave it to everybody & everything (dogs, cats, plants) that was ill or dying with unbelievable results. Things went so well that we started to get orders for it, but did not have the setup to make high quality CS. The stuff we were making, we believed, was around 10ppm and filtering it through coffee filters to take some of the heavy particles out. After more research and tests with a TDS1 we found that we were actually making 27ppm solution - made sense since the solution was dark yellow in colour and as bitter as yuck !!! We put all that down as experience and managed to manufacture quality 10ppm CS using a 5 liter container, 27 volts for 10 hours - with regular, hourly cleaning of the electrodes. Interesting, though, we had the same feedback with 10ppm as with the 27ppm and felt better too since we knew we were distributing better quality CS. We decided that we would have to be more clever and devise a method of production that would produce the same quality in less the time, so we researched and tested more. We imported a CS production unit from the USA (Mike, not sure if I am allowed to mention the name) to see how they did it since they were recommended as being the best. This unit gave us 5ppm solution in a 5 liter container in 6 hours and measured the ppm at the same time, with an auto cutt-off when it hit 5ppm. This helped us greatly. It was not messy, did not need to be watched and produced good quality CS (a good thing to have whilst producing is a fish pump to circulate the water to prevent slag build-up on the electrodes). Something we observed, though, was the 5ppm was not as effective as the 10ppm, although we still received very good results. Now that we felt confident in producing probably the best quality CS we could, we looked into marketing the product commercially. As you are all probably aware, South Africa has a population of almost 40 million people with massive unemployment statistics, scarce medical facilities and therefore the need for low priced effective "OTC" medicines that assist with various diseases. We approached some of the larger non-pharmaceutical concerns (more like general outlets that sell food/provisions from used shipping containers in the townships) and gave out samples as a test run to survey the acceptance of the product in the market. We were producing 15 liters per day, which were being distributed in 100ml bottles. The results were amazing and greatly accepted. We had cured cases mainly of stomach complaints, flu/colds, acne, and arthritis with reported cures of gout, STD's (2 cases of AIDS - we didn't know why), women able to conceive who couldn't before, heart burn and intestinal problems. We were happy that we were able to help so many people who couldn't afford to see a doctor. Then disaster hit... The medical control council got wind of this and didn't like the fact that were jeopardizing the sales of suppressive drugs and have insisted that we have the product registered. We will face heavy charges if someone becomes ill or even dies whilst taking the product, even if it is non-related. We cannot mention that the product can cure, aid or assist any problem and have to market it as a miracle water and include all sorts of disclaimers, etc, etc. This has really slowed down sales as we are too worried to market the product in case we should be charged with selling an un-registered product. To register the product it will cost almost 1 million Rand (USD 155,000-00) and take 2-3 years - can you believe it. I have been onto the FDA to see what tests have been done on the product and looks like you have the same problem there. I can't understand why such a product has to be surpressed. Perhaps we should protest to get this product know world-wide. It is said that the side effects are grey/bluing of the skin. I have been on this product for 8 months now and still get dates, so what's the problem ??? By the way, there were some reports of diarrhea on first taking of the product, but my homeopath (who knows and is in favour of the product) advises that it is the body's way of getting rid of the toxins that the CS kills. Is this true ? If anyone can help, please let me have your comments on the following : 1. Please could you let me know where I can find ANY information on clinical tests that have been done on humans and the results of these tests. 2. Any contact at the FDA that is involved with CS that could assist with these tests. 3. Any suggestions how I could market the product without making any claim to be a medicine. 4. Any literature from a qualified doctor/homeopath/pharmacist that accepts/acknowledges the effectiveness of the product. We are really stuck and would honour any information that could get us out of this rut - I would imaging you guys in the US have been up against the FDA and would appreciate any loopholes that we could try here. If there is anything I can contribute to, please let me know. kind regards and wishes, Tchai
