Re: CS>RE: Urea for dry skin RE: Urea for dry skin - and hair

[Gail Rice]

Steve
Thanks for this interesting post. I love the idea of making my own remedies
for my skin. I live in the US and I'm not sure how to source urea. Do you
think the stuff they sell for purifying gold is ok to use?
http://tinyurl.com/prill
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280502502969&rvr_id=124177288541&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=M*S%3F&GUID=e086f76a1260a02653759325fff7b7e0&itemid=280502502969&ff4=263602_263622#ht_1318wt_936


Would that be something that I could safely grind up and use? If so, is it
"clean" enough to use in EIS/DMSO formulas?  When I use DMSO I avoid other
people because I worry that it will make some sensitive person feel ill from
the smell. I'd love to be able to make a remedy that still allows me to
relax and enjoy being with other people.

Re: CS>Pau D'arco - Need source for the inner bark

[Gail Rice]

Hi Joy,

I'm not an herbalist but I've bought herbs from this company
http://rain-tree.com/
I'm happy with their stated goals and practices and was satisfied with their
service and with what I bought.

I've never bought their Pau D'arco but they do sell powdered inner bark by
the pound here - http://rain-tree.com/pau-darco-powder.htm

I notice by Googling, however that many places sell inner bark Pau D'arco.
So, I'm guessing you've rejected all these other easy to find sources. How
do you know when you have or have not found the "good stuff"?

good luck, Gail

Re: CS>(LL) Is it ok to use DMSO or MSM in a nebulizer with CS ??

[Gail Rice]

James Lembeck said:...DMSO is a great product, however the quality of some

sells pharma grade material is the US, most of the rest comes from China (or
else where)...

What company is that?

Re: CS>oreganol

[Gail Rice]

Kathy,
Some people do take it on or in their food. Other people put it in capsules,
others only inhale!  It needs to be *DILUTED* a lot. I have put a drop
or 2 in my lentil soup when I've felt a cold coming on and then not
gotten sick numerous times. Again, I really recommend the
oils_herbs_etc archives
for oregano info.

Re: CS>oreganol

[Gail Rice]

http://www.av-at.com/

Are you looking for herb or oil?

If you are looking for wild grown oregano oil, this is an excellent source.
I've
ordered from them for several years and find them trustworthy (which
is saying a lot in the aromatherapy business.)
and their prices are excellent.

Their oil is not diluted. You can join oils_herbs_etc at yahoo groups and
access their archives to learn a lot about oregano oils.  If you search for
posts by Butch about oregano you will find a lot of info.

Re: CS>Supporting Information: Liposomal Encapsulation Techniques

[Gail Rice]

Thanks Brooks! This is very helpful. I'd like to  to begin experimenting
with this process for GSH. Do you have any successes with or tips for this
material? Do you know of a good source for glutathione that would be
appropriate for encapsulation?

--Gail Rice

Re: CS>IMPORTANT COMMENT; Liposomal Encapsulation

[Gail Rice]

I tried the protocol again - this time with a new Ultrasonic cleaner. It
worked beautifully! There was no visible separation after sitting overnight.
I did the baking soda test because I hadn't read Brooks's email yet and just
by luck, it barely foamed at all, so I was satisfied and drank it
immediately.
I repeated the protocol (after reading this newer post) in the original
ultrasonic cleaner but sure enough, although the mixture looked
encouragingly milky, it began to separate within a minute and by about 10
minutes has a thick dark yellow layer on the bottom. So, I don't know why
this first U S cleaner does less well, but it does. So, I'll use the
replacement cleaner and make the excellent encapsulated Vitamin C. I don't
understand how these machines actually work or why this would happen.  -Gail

Re: CS>Liposomal Encapsulation

[Gail Rice]

Paul, I also made a batch of unencapsulated vitimin C. I have reread
the suggested protocol and am sure I didn't vary any step except that
my machine cycled for two 3min cycles instead of three 2min cycles.. I
did use distilled water. I made sure all equipment was clean and dry
before I began. I used a new pkg. of lecithin granules. They dissolved
well into the water after several minutes. I used new ascorbic acid
and it also disolved well into its water. I combined them in a brand
new clean U S cleaner.  (stirred slowly w/straw) When I tested a 4 oz
sample in a 12 oz tumbler, it foamed like mad (about 2 inches).

I tried re-running the U S cleaner on the remaining solution - still
no noticable encapsulation.

I wondered if there was a problem with my U S cleaner or one of the
ingredients.

Tonight I will try again with a different ultrasonic cleaner.
If that fails, I will try a new package of lecithin.
If that fails, I'll have to try new vitamin C.

If I succeed at any point, I will inform you with details.
Gail

So true.
Wayne was interested in a lot of things and his curiosity wasn't idle. He
informed himself about many things and then was so generous to share his
insights and opinions with others.
For our newer members, here is a link to his website -
http://www.fugitt.com/   Don't miss his colliodal silver link on the left
under "odds & ends."
and here is a link to his mini archive of the silver list -

Thanks, Wayne.

CS>nebulizer

[Gail Rice]

I don't have any info on nebulizers archived and I have questions for the
more experienced/better informed among us.
I remember someone mentioning metal parts - maybe a screen? - being a
problem in a nebulizer - as if the metal would cause the silver to fall out
of the EIS and one would only be inhaling water vapor. Does this sound
familiar?

Does metal in a container cause changes in EIS?

Someone in the past recommended a particular portable nebulizer as being
handy and effective for him. Does this sound familiar or does anyone of us
reading today have any info or opinion about using a nebulizer? What
protocol or device would you consider or have you used? If you used one,
what were your results?
