However, the amount of DEAs and similiar substances that the average person exposes to their body on a daily basis is hudreds of times more than the diluted cream after it is made. Not shampooing the hair one day that one normally would makes up for the "increased" exposure by far. Not to discount your points, because they are extremely valid. That's why I referred to the biotone as a lesser of evils. That's also one reason why I don't sell a cream. I would use jojoba oil, which is my favorite massage oil of choice, but it frankly doesn't work. It works great for massage and as a standard carrier, but performs extremely poorly where dermal infections are concerned. I cannot stress the fact enough that one does not want any substance sitting on top of the skin unless one has a specific reason for it. What you do to see how things really work, is you strip-clean the skin of it's natural balancing oils, and then you see what these products really do. The best creams in the world, that I have found, come in very, very small containers where a half-ounce is a six month supply. I worked with an Australian Botanist a few years ago who developed the most extraordinary cream ( coined Omnicron ). Although he did receive USP approval, our US government told him to never put it on the common market, that he would be permitted to sell it underground only. This after a fight about disclosure of how the cream was made. The prime principle of this particular cream was developed after the botonist spent six months in the mojave desert studying a very rare cactus which thrived in environments where there was NO rainfall. The cream used NO hydrating additives. Instead, it pulled pure water in minute quanties from the surrounding air. It is possible that the government was interested in the cream for defense projects. During the period where he was being harrassed, we had to grant him safe solace on a private peice of property where the arms of these particular thugs could not reach ( it should be noted, however, that this botonist had little to no diplomatic disposition, although in the end I really don't think that should matter ). I don't think I will ever be able to re-develop that exact cream, but I strive to apply the principles I've learned through the experience. It should be stated, however, that all my own personal work is geared toward allowing a person to freely operate in the world without great fear of every substance one touches. If the body is restored to optimal functionality, then one has little fear of more common environmental exposures. If one's body is not in optimal condition, no amount of careful practices beyond the absolute extreme will prevent the body from adsorbing these substances which consequently will do harm. If one has to think about their healthcare every moment of the day, then one is only a slave ( this, speaking, for the average person and not those on special programs to combat specific disease ). Today's world is what it is. Perhaps the world of the future will be a more favorable place, it is something worth working towards. The greatest successes I've had is where a problem is identified, dealt with, eliminated, and the person can get back to LIFE, without another thought about the condition, but perhaps with a bit more consciousness awareness of how nature and the world works. But fear, in any form, is the great killer of spirit. > > Biotone happens to be one of the better brands of skin creams available. > Massage practitioners like it because it absorbs so well into the skin. > Oleth 3 is the eighth out of ten ingredients that comprise Biotone.

I have a hard time believing that any ingredients in Biotone cream are genetically engineered, but stranger things have happened and I'm going to try to do some research on the subject. <snip> > Peace to you all. > Nina Silver > > > -- -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
