Dear Bernadette, I am dismayed to hear you required surgery for the sinus condition. EIS has demonstrated to be of excellent value among all our volunteers who encountered post-surgical conditions, such as you report. The most effective protocol turned out to be one involving the use of 10 ppm CS (95% by volume) and DMSO (5% by volume) administered (warmed to body temperature) every 3 to 4 hours...during the daylight hours. Care had to be taken in those cases exhibiting extra-sensitive epithelial tissue linings. In those cases every other administration substituted a weak saline solution in place of the CS X DMSO protocol which favorably resolved a majority of these more challenging presentations. In some few cases the pain-sensitivity threshold was so quickly encountered and persisted to such a degree, that 1% (by volume) of 2% Lidocaine was included in the spray mix - which yielded favorable results in all of those experimental cases due to the anaesthetic effect of the Lidocaine. Your case presents an especially interesting one, to me, as I have "enjoyed" similar sinus challenges resulting from a continual sinus drainage, throughout a majority of my adult life. Quite serendipitously, I allowd one of our younger staff members to "goad" me into addressing this problem through an unusual (for me) type of address. To wit, a very simple system originally designed to treat chronic, non-responding, psychiatric presentations. The system is one well-known to list members as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The system I used was the one designed by Gary Craig not the more elaborate procedure designed by Dr. Callahan. Within 6 days of beginning the very simple regimen I achieved results one can only describe as spectacular. My sinuses are dry---day and night---for the first time in 50 years! Since I am not a believer in "NO-CAUSE" spontaneous remission I am left with no alternative but the beneficial effects of the EFT protocol. Additionally, being a chronic sufferer of insomina I tried it on that also with equally satisfying results. The demonstrated effectiveness of such a seemingly "scientifically junvenile" procedure has left me rather stupified - but convinced enough that we are now inaugurating a formal evaluation of the system. I am not prescribing, or announcing that such a procedure will favorably resolve the root-cause of your current disorder but relating a personal experience. By-the-way, personal experience is the ONLY thing for which I allow dogmatism by another. My apologies for the accompanying diatribe but I offer it only as enforcement to my comments. Be well, my best personal regards, Brooks. --- Dear Shirley, I will try, briefly, to give a quick summary of the protocol I used. I employed the general suggestions given in Gary Craig's EFT Manual. I used direct statements which included the brief identity of the affected part/condition. I used the unmodified basic protocol (all of it) two or three times daily but being sure to have one of them the last thing before going to sleep at night. I repeated the tapping procedure (together with the mantra) three times for each location (using a minimum of seven tapes for each location---each time the procedure was employed. I was "shocked" at the degree of relief...and the speed of the occurrence of the improvement - of my insomnia (three days for SIGNIFICANT improvement). This condition had been manifest for the immediately past 10 years and NOTHING attempted yielded any measurable real correction, prior to applying this extraordinarily simplistic protocol. I was even more impressed by the improvement in my chronic sinus drainage - as no drug-based therapy had ever successfully addressed that issue. I am not recommending EFT as a treatment for anything - just relating my personal experience. If it was a PLACEBO EFFECT, it was the most powerful of which I have ever heard. Do understand, a majority of our staff are DEEPLY involved in the more CONVENTIONAL aspects of the mainstream scientific/medical paradigm than am I - consequently, a significant number consider "spontaneous correction" a more tenable explanation than assigning any credible effect to the EFT protocols. Their intellectual predications are of no real moment to me however. Personal experience displays the highest flag at least to me. [ As a matter of record, few of them enjoy more extensive academic/professional qualifications than do I.] I hope these comments are of some value to you. I must go now. My Best Regards and Good Wishes to You, Brooks Bradley.
This post addresses the recent inquiry relating to home-type water filtering system. My comments are addressed to drinking-water quantities 0NLY. We have, several times in past years, evaluated multiple units provided by OEMs. A majority of all yielded acceptable results especially as regards solids and larger-particle (15 micron +) removal. However, one unit stood out above all others. It was manufactured by Doulton. They are an older, established supplier of water filtration/disinfection systems. Our staff was so impressed with our original evaluations that a majority of them now use one of the family-size units for home drinking water supplies. In fact, so do I...plus I have supplied the families of all three of my sons, with the same unit. Some of the advantages of this system are: It is very effective in controlling pathogens of all types; provides a very acceptable level of toxicity control for many common chemical pollutants; provides excellent taste modification effects; the silver impregnated ceramic cartridge is easily cleaned and provides a very long life. We have staff members using their original cartridges four years after purchase. The particular unit we use is CCP207 Super-Steryl. It costs about $180.00 American. The replacement cartridge # is CS0700 and costs about $30.00 each. We have no financial interest, whatsoever, in this firm. I do not, as a general rule recommend products of one supplier over another but there is such a wide difference in effectivity in this case, I feel an exeption is in order. The pathogenic component control, alone, makes it a superior address to the healthy drinking water problem. We evaluated units costing almost three times as much which revealed to be orders-of-magnitude less effective. I suggest interested parties Google for the Doulton website in order to gain more specific information. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. We have, over the immediately past 14 years, conducted over 15 separate experimental investigations/trials involving effects of the mineral spectrum upon domestic large-animals and human beings. I have made summary comments relating to our results multiple times, on this list. Since our archives are at present, unavailable, I will restate our general findings (repeated multiple times earlier). NOTHING we evaluated equalled in degree or speed the effectiveness of granulated sea kelp. There were measurable differences in degree but ALL were effective in the general sense. I remind our members---yet again---that after the serum fraction and partial red-cell removal from human blood the remainder constituent is ESSENTIALLY SEA WATER. Kelp sequesters the entire mineral spectrum of the ocean and dutifully reflects it within the internal plant structure. Bottom line: Supplementing (daily) with granulated kelp comes very close to BULLET-PROOFING all large animals (especially humans) against any known mineral deficiency caused by UNAVAILABILITY. While it is true that some individuals present with biological proclivities which prevent them from properly assimilating/processing certain minerals under special conditions such circumstances are so rare as to be disregarded for general considerations of the topic at hand. I contend that it is CRIMINAL in nature and intent to allow the fiction to perpetuate - that varieties of segregated, percentage-balanced, specially compounded, synthetically manufactured or altered manipulated minerals are necessary for insuring proper human health. However, an entire industry has arisen...and prospers...as a result this regrettable condition continuing. We have been unable throughout the history of our researches involving mineral utilization in humans to be able to induce ANY FORM of ANY MINERAL deficiency (from among the ocean-borne spectrum) from among our experimental volunteer populations. Additionally, we have been unable to isolate or define ANY mineral not present in sea water, to be CRITICAL to the maintenance of proper health in human beings. Others may have encountered different results. If so, we would be profoundly interested in knowing of them. Every member of our staff (and adult family members) include at least one heaping tablespoon of granulated marine kelp daily, among their supplements. My apologies for this lengthy post. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. Harborne Research Foundation. P.S. For those interested in conducting their own "experimental investigations" to easily/satisfactorily ingest a heaping tablespoon of granulated kelp, divide into three quantities and consume as follows: take 1 teaspoon of granulated lecithin (an emulsified phospholipid derived from soy) place in the mouth and add a couple of teaspoons of water...swish lightly to mix well and add one teaspoon of granulated kelp and dilute with additional water until an acceptable mixture obtains. Next, wash it all down with a glass of plain water. This approach allows individuals having a pronounced gag reflex to easily swallow a mixture they would, otherwise, be unable to do. One very useful side benefit is the wonderful effect of lecithin, both as a splendid emulsifier and an outstanding source of assimilable phosphorous (an extremely important mineral difficult to obtain in adequate amounts in modern diets). Lecithin also aids greatly in assisting removal of atherosclerotic deposits from the cardio-vascular system. Note: I advise against attempting to swallow these amounts (especially a heaping tablespoon) of kelp - without mixing it with lecithin. The main reason being that kelp is very hygroscopic and will absorb the water fraction so rapidly that a majority of persons will gag. Kelp will even initiate a demand on the moisture lining the epithelial tissue of the mouth. Mixed with lecithin the emulsified compound goes down beautifully and makes a MARVELOUS adjunct to protocols such as Mathias Rath's vitamin C based cardio-vascular health protocol. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
