List Members,

It was said by another list member that Duncan is sort of a loose cannon.  Not 
one to jump on anyone else unless they need it, I usually hold my tongue.  
However, some of the things Duncan says are so far left of center, I think we 
should all look very closely at what he has to say.  Some of it is dangerous as 
in his wall current bridge rectifier circuit which is not only electrically 
dangerous to your health if you weren't very careful to steer clear of any 
earth ground while touching the hot portion of the circuit but would have also 
produced colloidal copper instead of colloidal silver.  Perhaps the copper 
would be good for one, but I don't know for sure.  It may have its place in the 
scheme of health but it sure isn't CS.

He probably has good intentions but be careful in your assessments of his 
posts.  Robert is correct in his questioning of Duncan and for Duncan to 
retaliate with "bullsh*t" is totally inappropriate.  Perhaps it's inappropriate 
of me to say anything but it's hard to watch so much "bull" being spread around 
without him being called on it.

We're all looking for answers, not vindictiveness and arrogance.

Right on Robert!

  Robert, 

  Your bullsh*t doesn't baffle me.  Do your own searches. I don't have time for 
you.

  ciao

      Unless you're eating powdered silver, the particles are so small, 
particularly WRT CS, it's all absorbed by your bloodstream before it gets very 
far down your digestive tract. In a dog for example, the CS is detectable 33 
seconds from the time it is infused into the (presumably empty) stomach.
      Whooa ... where are you coming from with this? Like referrences or 
documentation?  Red flags are up here!
      But if you were sick with the 'flu and your system was empty anyway, you 
could control the intestinal portion of the flu by drinking very large 
quantities of CS.  Sheer volume may get it there.
      Flu is divided into different "portions"? Flu is a virus .... period, 
regardless of where it locates in the body and the anti-viral modality of CS 
lies in its smallest particles being able to circumnavigate the immune system 
to reach the virus anywhere and everywhere at the cellular level.
      It's true that silver is ineffective in a nonliquid meduim, but the 
intestine is a primarily liquid medium, that is, it has enough liquid present 
to produce ionic reactions. That's how the bloodstream picks up the silver ions.
      How about sublingual absorbtion?
      But if the chunks were large enough, like powdered silver, the ionic 
effect would continue down inside your bowel until the silver was used up. 
Which would depend on your intestine's PH and any other reactivity. That would 
correlate roughly to powdered silver safely being injected IV in the 1920's.  
It will eventually dissolve in an acidic environment.
      Wrong!  Blood circulating particles that are too large will deposit them 
in tissues close to the surface of the skin resulting in the infamous 
discoloration of Argyria.  These particles do not "ionize" and disappear. Where 
did you get the information that "powdered silver" was "safely being injected 
intravenously" in the 1920's?  If that indeed happened, I'm sure that ... in 
hindsight .... there had to have been horribly adverse effects!

      fair enough?
      No!  We need to get on the same page!  Where are you getting this 
information from?
