 New to the list--don't know exactly what the Gatorade test is for??? 
 Would like to volunteer though, especially since I don't know how to make
 CS as yet.  Gladys

Gladys: Thanks for volunteering. I just completed an abstract which I've 
included below. In a separate email, I'll send you additional material that 
you'll be needing. Please read it thoroughly before make your final decision 
to become part of the test group. Thanks again. Roger

Dr. Roger Altman, President of Reclamation Research, Natural Bridge, NY 
[Reclamation Research, RR1 Box 102, Natural Bridge, NY 13665, Tel. 
315-644-4274] has been working with Mr. Robert Berger, of System Tech 
Engineering, Kansas City, MO [System Tech Engineering, 12303 E.89th St., 
Kansas city, MO 64138-5150, Tel. 816-313-7769, Fax 816-313-8760] to determine 
the relative in vivos germicidal activity of ionic silver. A second goal of 
this investigation is to determine if balanced fluid electrolytes can enhance 
the germicidal activity of ionic silver. The proposed procedure includes the 
following steps:

1) Select test subjects who have used colloidal silver to treat various 
ailments.

2) Produce colloidal silver test solutions that are 100% ionic as well as 
similar solutions that contain no silver at all.

3) Issue these test solutions to participants by means of a double blind 
distribution channel so that half receive the 100% ionic silver and the other 
half receive the placebo.

4) Provide instructions to dilute the test solution to 5 PPM silver, a 
concentration  similar to that used by most who take colloidal silver.

5) Instruct participants to compare the performance of the "as is" test 
solution to the colloidal silver they have been using.

6) Instruct participants to mix 2 parts of a balanced fluid electrolyte with 
one part of the test solution to determine if there is an improvement in the 
performance of the test solution relative to the test solution used "as is".

7) Request participants to keep separate written accounts of their 
observations for each infirmity treated, and each individual who takes part 
in this study.

8) After approximately 3-6 months of observations for a particular infirmity 
have been accumulated, participants are instructed to complete a brief survey 
which is designed to evaluate the performance of the test solution, relative 
to the colloidal silver they have been using, and the performance of the 
balanced fluid electrolyte plus test solution combination, relative to the 
test solution used "as is".

9) A Chi Square analysis will then be used to determine if there is any sign 
of relative incremental performance after eliminating statistically the 
placebo effect.

A final report will be issued at the completion of this study.
