Here is a patent that claims that combining EIS with Peppermint oil provides a timed release of silver ions (my words) thereby improving the effectiveness of EIS when used for gastrointestinal infections. Anyone familiar with this or have an opinion? - Steve N _http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/7153526/description.html_ (http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/7153526/description.html) "In accordance with preferred embodiments of the present invention, the pure ionic silver colloid is combined with peppermint oil. Laboratory testing has demonstrated that the addition of the peppermint oil to the pure ionic silver colloid produces a synergistic effect. Further, the peppermint oil provides a more palatable smell and taste.
The synergistic effect results from the fact that the oil does not bind with, nor render inactive, the colloid, but rather reduces the rate of inactivation in vivo and enhances the anti-microbial activity by a few orders of magnitude. As shown below, this has been demonstrated in laboratory testing in a bacteria friendly environment." Looks like EIS with peppermint might help with your ulcer. Steve N posted the above last January. I tried it with my weak home made EIS about 5 PPM. I have Barrets Esophagus and it seemed to help reduce my heartburn times. I also started the Fast-5 diet which also helps reduce heartburns. 22 weeks on the diet I have lost 20 pounds, just about one pound per week like the DR claims. I added a whey protein drink outside the 5 hour window which might slow the weight loss. Duncan Crow told me to drink the whey protein which I have finally been doing after all these years of not doing what he said. Brickey **************Need a job? Find employment help in your area.
