***PS to parts list: Dear List Members. I failed to include a suggestion, which some may find of critical importance. If you do not have immediate access to an O2 supply, and encounter an EMERGENCY experiment, you can connect into any available air compressor outlet (however, you may have to change out the Compressor-side fitting). To be safe, let the air compressor charge to 35 psi and disconnect it from the power grid. There will be ample air pressure to execute your protocol. The air-brush will function quite well to below 20 psi. Although your air-supply may be contaminated....the alternative to getting CS into the VOLUNTEER animal/pet may a much more grave situation, We had excellent, but less spectacular results using compressed air as the driving medium in some animal experiments in 1998.......when addressing some serious pulmonary compromises involving felines. Sincerely. Brooks Bradley.
***Further to assembly: To all interested list members. Since I posted the original information about the air-brush nebulizer (as developed and employed by one of our technicians) I do feel constrained to answer the question as to why use a two-stage regulator. Please recall my original post was designed to allow persons with access to welding equipment, to capitalize on this without further expense. Furthermore, most commercial oxygen bottles are charged to a VERY HIGH pressure (in the neighborhood of 2000-3000 psi). Safety precautions, alone, recommend that a two-stage regulator is a wise precaution. In case of a regulator malfunction wherein the safety burst-disc failed to rupture, the down-stream portion of your system would be exposed---instantly---to system pressure......if only a single-stage was employed. Not a very desirable circumstance involving O2 at 2000 psi. Two-stage regulation mitigates against this. Additionally, I was never recommending this economical little system to replace or compete with ANYTHING. I am somewhat dismayed that some of the newer membership seems to have seized upon such a probability. My original intent was to encourage those among you----who desired--- to experiment with a very economical and useful methodology providing some characteristics not readily available at low cost. To wit: small particle size; and compatibility with pressurized fluid systems supplied by non-dependent accessories. We gained comparable performance from this little system that equated---very well---to a $650.00 hospital-approved system (which required special demand-type regulators, a separate pumping/pressurization system, etc.) The original cost of the air-brush assembly, plus fittings and hoses, was under $20.00 U.S. Additionally, for those having access to a conventional air compressor system, they may avail themselves of this option at NO REGULATOR system cost. This may be achieved, simply, by charging the air tank to 35 psi and cutting it off. The system will work quite well---in a declining pressure mode, down to 20 psi. I hope this information is of some value. Sincerely. Brooks Bradley. ***Efficiency of this nebulizer To interest list members. I believe it to be worth commenting on, that during our more intense researches in this area (1997-1998), we were unable to generate useful results from ANY type of conventional vaporizer......REGARDLESS OF COST of the device. The mist-particles were just too large and the mist-cloud concentrations too sparsely populated.....to give the desired result. Well-designed nebulizers, used in a concentrated-delivery mode were the only methodology which yielded satisfactory results-----for us! In the near future I will post a simple, but I believe useful----explanation of what actually happens (the physics of venturi action, turbulence, changes in static and ram pressure in the mouth, throat, and upper lungs). Such information may prove useful in understanding some of the problems involved in transporting entrained substances into the pulmonary tract. I must leave now. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. . ***The silver transport vehicle: Janine, and all interested list members. Please be advised this is a circumstance I can not address professionally, as we do not give medical advice or any form of medical consultation. I can, however, make a few observations that may be of some value to you in your personal researches. First, we have found that several factors have to be in place....and acting in concert, to yield satisfactory results----from among our volunteer experimental populations. We found it essential that: (1) The colloidal silver employed MUST be of the proper particle size ( the ppm concentration was less of a factor). (2) A MSM/DMSO mixture of approximately 80% MSM and 20% DMSO was needed as an effective penetration/transport mechanism. (3) Pure oxygen was required as the gas-drive. (4) The mist-particle size was of consequence, also. The finer mist clouds, driven at higher pressures (30 to 35 psi) seemed to carry further into the lower pulmonary regions before terminal attachment. In all circumstances where we were unable to get the CS solution into direct contact (across the mucous-ladened barrier), we had only limited success. Assuming you successfully generated a CS x pathogen interface, I am deeply puzzled by your announced results. I can offer no further comment on this circumstance. Sympathetically yours. Brooks Bradley. p.s. The inhalation technique was, also, of some consequence. Deep, slow inhalations where the volunteer discharged the mist for approximately 4 or 5 seconds, shutting it off while continuing the inhalation to the count of 8.....seemed the ideal. If the volunteer had insufficient lung capacity to maintain an 8 second inhalation, the ratio should be maintained at 50% airbrush ON and 5O% Off for scavenge breathing (completing the inhalation) for whatever their inhalation time constant is. e.g. 6 seconds> 3 seconds on for airbrush discharge, and 3 seconds continued inhalation after airbrush shut-down. ***Case study: Dear Mr. Bassett. I have just read your posts; I have a little comment that may be of value to you in your experimental research. We have evaluated CS, and many methods of its employment. Only one was ever rapidly effective in an "essentially terminal" evaluation. This involved a volunteer (male, 72 yrs.), during the winter of 1998. He was suffering from late-stage bi-lateral bacterial pneumonia. The methodology employed in these experiments included the following protocol: Using a very fine particle nebulizer, a 25 psi to 35 psi, regulated O2 supply as the gas drive and a colloidal silver mixture---compounded as follows: Starting with 8 ounces of 10 ppm CS (warmed to approx. 105 degrees F.) dissolve methyl sulphonyl methane (MSM) in this solution to the point of saturation (until no more will go into solution); he next added 20%--by volume--(approximately 2 fluid ounces of DMSO, undiluted) to the parent mixture. Using this material in a very simple nebulizer fashioned from an artist's airbrush, we were able.....in this case....to witness an astonishing, rapid, recovery from this moribund individual. The patient used approximately 3/4 of an ounce of liquid (in the smaller of the airbrush fluid supply vials). every 4 hours. Within 48 hours his lungs started to clear (his lung capacity was around 25% when this protocol was instituted and his attending physicians had openly resigned themselves to his immediate demise). The rapid onset of pus and mucous-bound bacterial debris did, indeed, place a biological challenge on him. The volume of this material was astonishing. We believe that the accompanying oxygen, plus the transporting capability of the MSM/DMSO combination.....were critical to this splendid outcome. We do not prescribe medicine....or give any type of medical advice, being , STRICTLY, an experimental research organization. I am, simply, relating a case in which a non-toxic protocol seemed to be of efficacy in a very CHALLENGING circumstance. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.. At 09:58 AM 7/25/2008, you wrote:
