CSStudy Shows Silver Nanoparticles Attach to HIV-1 virus
Don't know if this has made the silver list, since it is a few years old... Study Shows Silver Nanoparticles Attach to HIV-1 virus In the first-ever study of metal nanoparticles' interaction with HIV-1, silver nanoparticles of sizes 1-10nm attached to HIV-1 and prevented the virus from bonding to host cells. The study, published in the Journal of Nanotechnology, was a joint project between the University of Texas, Austin and Mexico Univeristy, Nuevo Leon. Our article opens an important avenue for research, said Miguel Jose Yacaman, from University of Texas, Department of Engineering and one of the study's authors. In this study, scientists mixed silver nanoparticles with three different capping agents: foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum albumin (BSA).Not using a capping agent could result in the synthesis of big crystals instead of nanocrystals, explained Yacaman. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed the silver nanoparticles in the foamy carbon matrix were joined together, but an ultrasonic bath in deionized water released a significant number of nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were of size 16.19 (+-8.69)nm and had the greatest variety of shapes, such as icosahedral, decahedral, and elongated. Because of the synthesis procedure, the foamy carbon-coated naoparticles are more likely to have broad shape distribution, said Yacaman. Scientists used the electron beam to release the remainder of the nanoparticles from the joined bundle. For the PVP-coated silver nanoparticles, scientists used glycerine as a dissolving agent. These particles were of size 6.53 (+-2.41). In the third preparation, scientists used serum albumin, the most common protein in blood plasma. The sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen chemicals in BSA stabilized the nanoparticles, which were in the range of 3.12 (+-2.00) nm. Scientists studied the absorption spectra of the different preparations to pinpoint their shapes. Spherical nanoparticles absorbed in the blue region of the spectrum, for example, Yacaman said. Also, the UV-Visible spectra graphs helped the group determine nanoparticle sizes. The surface plasmon resonance peak wavelength increased with size, explained Yacaman. Scientists tested, in vitro, each of three silver nanoparticle-preparations in HIV-1 cells. Yacaman and his colleagues incubated the samples at 37 C. After three hours and 24 hours, respectively, 0% of the cells were living. The results showed that a silver nanoparticle concentration greater than 25 ug/mL worked more effectively at inhibiting HIV-1 cells. Plus, the foamy carbon was a slightly-better capping agent because of its free surface area. Size also played a role since none of the attached nanoparticles were greater than 10nm. Scientists think the nanoparticles bonded through the gp120 glycoprotein knobs on HIV-1, using the sulfur residues on the knobs. The spacing between the knobs of ~22nm matched the center-to-center nanoparticle spacing. Although this study shows silver nanoparticles may treat HIV-1, scientists need to research this relationship further. We lack information regarding the long-term effects of metal nanoparticles, cautioned Yacaman. Scientists are forming a preventive cream for HIV-1, which they will test on humans. Scientists are also studying other uses for silver nanoparticles. We're testing against other viruses and the 'super bug (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus).' Our preliminary results indicate that silver nanoparticles can effectively attack other micro-organisms, Yacaman said. By Syeda Z.

Re: CSCS - malaria - and MMS
I think your memory of CS working against malaria may come from some of my older posts, regarding how effective CS is working against Dengue Fever, which is a close relative of malaria, and is also mosquito borne. I lived in Southern Mexico, and I've had the dreaded Dengue at least 25 times. But I did not have a single case for the seven years I took CS (Microdyn at 90 ppm) on a daily basis. However, I stopped the CS after my nails turned blue (from using an off-brand product, not Microdyn) and caught my first case of Dengue in seven years. This occurred several years ago. CS both prevents and quickly cures Dengue. I also believe it also prevents/cures malaria, but do not have any proof, since I've never contracted malaria. I also believe I've read posts about the World Health Organization (or some such international body) testing CS against malaria in West Africa, but haven't read any followup posts regarding the effectiveness of CS against malaria.

We live in a rural area with adjacent fields where bulls, cows, horses, goats, etc. are frequent. The ticks are terrible, and our pets suffer.

RE: CS20 ppm CS
Buy 1 liter bottle of 3200 ppm Microdyn, and add 160 liters of pure water and you have 161 liters of 20 ppm.

I make 5 ppm normally and have made 10 by making two passes through our machine. But I don't think I can get 20 that way, the particle size simply gets way too large. Anyone have any good methods for making large quantites of 20 ppm CS? I would like to be able to produce at least 3 or 4 gallons an hour. LVDC I believe would be too slow. HVAC gets it too hot unless using multiple passes. Bob, you have played with underwater sputtering I think. How does that work? How does the microwave HVDC work?

Re: CS[List Owner] Comment...,
Dear Mike: You said: Let me reassure you, Bill, that I include myself firmly in the ranks of that same lunatic fringe whenever I make such a comment. Like so many of you here, I've come a *long* way in what I will admit to the realm of possibility, since coming aboard the internet a dozen or so years ago. Thus, even if I poke a little fun at us, it's with respect and fondness. Well said, Mike! I'm firmly there myself, and see the OT list as the place where we can spout til we drop on any fringe belief we might entertain. You have once again proven why you are our respected OO. With regards, Bill Missett LOL!!! I think this thread illustrates aptly just how *impossible* it is to communicate succinctly in an all-text medium such as this! Was I casting aspersions on all of our alternative thinkers? Was Bill's post *really* tongue-in-cheek? Am I insulted by his OT Loony Bin remark? dum dum dum... (Organ music, with lots of tremolo!) The reason for my original post was to encourage you all to keep the more speculative stuff short, or move it to the OT list. The fact is, I'm not so many years removed from my pre-awakened state that I've forgotten how *I* would have reacted to chemtrails, pyramids, orgone or the persecution of Tesla, if early on I had stumbled into a forum like this looking for information about colloidal silver. When deciding about topics I always visualize somebody arriving, relatively new to the net, a bit nervous about this alternative medicine stuff, and ultimately skeptical about anything that's not been blessed by coverage on the evening news. Do we want to help them or scare them away? What we have here is a balancing act. I don't want to stop everybody from enjoying the discussion, but for the sake of the mission we have to be sure that the crazy sounding stuff stays to a small-ish fraction of the content. That way folks will see that there *is* worthwhile information to be found here despite the handful of crackpots and lunatics who believe in all that other junk... In time, of course, they'll begin to realize that we're practically *all* crackpots and loonies by those standards -- and hopefully they'll balance that against the solid things they've learned about CS and maybe, just maybe, start to re-examine their assumptions about what they think is real. As I see it, CS is an easy first step on the road to waking up. It works, it's easy and cheap (or should be anyway), and it can be explained in pretty conventional scientific terms. It'll *also* get them rubbing elbows with all of us kooks who've decided to stop believing everything our doctors say and taken personal responsibility for our health. Can you imagine a better way to get through to people? Let me reassure you, Bill, that I include myself firmly in the ranks of that same lunatic fringe whenever I make such a comment. Like so many of you here, I've come a *long* way in what I will admit to the realm of possibility, since coming aboard the internet a dozen or so years ago.
