Hi folks, I've been pretty quiet lately. It's been because you've afforded me the luxury of watching you manage yourselves quite nicely.
A big THANK YOU!!! <grin> ** Just to review a couple of points, so you know for *sure* what's what: Yes, according to the people who like the therapeutic value of the "North" side of a magnet, the side that they are talking about is the one that is exactly the same as the North magnetic pole of the earth. So, if you suspend your magnet from a string and let it settle, the side which points to geomagnetic south is the so-called north, beneficial pole of the magnet. South-seeking is the good one. The compass will point to it just like if it was pointing to the earth's North pole. Some magnets are marked opposite to this, and you'll usually see this in Physics textbooks. FOR OUR PURPOSES, those are wrong. They're using a differenc convention, useful in that context, but not for what we're doing. To Wayne: Also for our purposes, magnetic declination is really not relevant, 'kay? <grin> If you happen to live near the arctic circle, folks, you'll have to be aware that your compass will be pointing to magnetic north, which is significantly displaced from the geographic north pole. For those of us in more temperate regions, it's not a big issue. Chuck: Looks like it'll be done in about a week. How 'bout that, eh? <SMILE> ** Lastly, I think the comments on toxicity should be viewed with some skepticism, as, so far, nobody we know has gotten argyric or been harmed in any other way from taking 20ppm or less "colloidal silver" that's been made in distilled water without additives. This, and no other, is the kind of "CS" that we have discussed the most here for a very long time. That's been the consensus and will be the focus of most of the advice you'll receive from this community. If you make something other than this, by using tap water, salt or other additives, for instance, then perhaps you should worry. As for doses, people have most certainly taken 8 ounces per day and more when treating acute disorders. It's not uncommon to take a swallow or two a day, which will be several ounces, as a preventative. Folks taking silver regularly are those that most often report going for extended periods without catching colds or other minor afflictions. Again, if it's 20 ppm or less, you're not likely to swamp your body's ability to excrete it, and continued consumption is required if you're going to maintain useful levels in the bloodstream. Naturally, all these comments are simply opinions, however well settled, and are subject to change in light of new data and future experience. You are responsible for learning and understanding the basis of any alternative treatment you wish to experiment with. We are not doctors. Thanks for keeping the list going well, folks. Any reasonable question may be asked. Any reasonable answer may be given. CS related things can go on until you're satisfied with them. Non-CS related things should be taken off list or wound down after a day or three... That's all for now!
