Hello to Everyone on the Silver List, I'm new to the list, but I've been reading the archives and all the recent links posted by many of you for the last few weeks. What a great group of folks! You've brought up many of my questions as a new experimenter and made me really think about the nature of health and disease. My background is in psychology and economics (BA) and business (MBA) but I've always been interested in the hard sciences. I like hands-on projects, and like to prove things for myself, so here I am!
I'm thrilled to say that I'm at this moment creating my FIRST batch of CS using a basic 27-volt set up I've seen recommended here. I had a fun time today at Radio Shack. :) I nearly whooped when my little 40mA bulb actually lit up when I touched my two alligator clips together! I'm really excited about testing different strengths of my CS on plates of gelatin/sugar/cornstarch. I intend to send out some samples and will keep close tabs on timing and procedures so I'll be able to know what PPM I'm probably making. I'm much more comfortable with statistical analyses than with electonics, but I like to stretch my horizons. Thankfully, I don't have any major health concerns at the moment, but my ancient dog is on a second antibiotic to try to get rid of a urinary tract infection. I hope silver will be helpful to him. I have a toddler who is amazingly healthy and I want to keep him that way. My husband is a natural skeptic, so I'll need to prove the value of this concoction to him with our own experiences. I've studied homeopathy in depth, but I prefer simple solutions to problems. I've recently discovered Reiki healing, but haven't been able to demonstrate its effectiveness yet, but it's nice to do. I'm not really religious, but I recently discovered scientific studies that demonstrate the efficacy of prayer, so I'm all for that too. (Please see my .sig for a great site that links to the article.) I guess that my natural inclination to be pro-active in regards to my health has led me to this list. I look forward to contributing my own insights once I gain some! I've been curious as to what sorts of bottles most of you use to store your CS? I hit on the idea of using corked amber beer bottles and have been patting myself on the back all week. Anyone know of reactions of CS to corks? I've also prepared a nice amber rum bottle and a wine bottle! I finally found out the reason that people say not to refrigerate CS. It's the electric field of the fridge itself that may interfere with the charge of the colloid. Any comments/additions? :) Thanks in advance! I'm so glad to have found you all and I'm sure I'll be writing again soon with a technical question or two for the gurus of the group. I've followed the URLS you have in your .sigs and am pleased with finding so much interesting information on this amazing substance. I was a bit confused by some of the statements made on some silver web pages when I first started doing searches on the subject. I'm so grateful to this group for helping to clear up much of the murk and shed some real light on a process that is not likely to have many "reputable studies" funded by the major pharmaceutical firms. (I caught that slam over on the bionet newsgroup.) And Mike, you're one of the best moderators I've ever seen on a list. Thanks for your kindness and thoroughness! And thanks to all of you for inspiring me to go ahead and make some colloidal silver for myself! To good health for one and all! Cheers!
