Very well said Brooks! I can attest to our son's continued excellent health, in part due to small amounts of colloidal silver as an actual part of his diet. The high levels of iron has always been a concern.
I'm actually going on three years of steady colloidal silver use myself. Sadly, I have not turned blue yet... And so I cannot fulfill my fantasy of tatooing my entire body and joining some artistic colony, travelling the desert gleening mystical messages from the wind swept landscapes. Ah well. On another note, I've been experimenting with bentonite and colloidal silver the past several months. Sadly, I have not the funds to do some lab analysis that might be fascinating. My primary concern with the use of colloidal silver externally is twofold: 1) Colloidal Silver is obviously most effective when it remains colloidal. Any solution applied to the skin dries through evaporation very quickly. 2) It has been my experience that colloidal silver can be an irritant when applied to very sensitive skin types with various chronic skin infections. My best guess has always been that the distilled water evaporating disturbs the PH balance of the skin. The CS reaches a level of ineffectiveness, and yet the tissue irritation remains which can lead to a spreading of the infection. Of course, the biggest problem here is that these infections are usually a symptom and not a cause. Creating a bentonite/colloidal silver solution has proved advantageous. Roughly, an seven parts colloidal silver ( about 30ppm ) to one part bentonite solution can be used in a dressing treatment. The dressing is thoroughly soaked with the solution and applied topically. The dressing can easily remain wet for an hour, and careful observation of tissues following treatment shows a marked change. Roughly, a five parts to one part concoction forms a salve which can be applied to the skin, left to air OR covered with a dressing. My greatest concern with this method is the potential for the bentonite to actually deposit the silver in the deeper layers of tissue ( not a factor with the 7-1 solution ). ..Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: BROOKS BRADLEY To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, November 06, 2000 2:18 PM Subject: CS>Possible, Useful CS Prophylactic A recent review of some interesting literature sources reminded me of a, possibly, useful application of CS as a prophylactic. Very young children of parents exhibiting hemochromatosis (excessive iron storage) appear to be at a very pronounced risk---if they contract disease organisms and/or cancer microbe exposure. A majority of these organisms appear to feed on iron---a powerful catalyst for generating damaging free radicals; but they starve without it. Additionally, babies on high-iron formulas (am/or iron drops) can, apparently, encounter a very sudden death---in event of botulism . Since both hemochromatosis aggravation and the possibility of encountering botulinum are chance events, it would appear judicious to consider controllable alternatives.. Were my wife and I still in our child-bearing years, we would SERIOUSLY consider employing CS prophylactically (in our infant's diet).....as a mitigating factor against these very real potential risks. Colloidal silver is the only non-toxic substance we have ever found that gives, safe, immediate control of botulinum. It does so in very small concentrations. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
