Welcome, Max! You would probably like the book written by Dr.Robert Becker
entitled ""THE BODY ELECTRIC"". His work with cancer was most interesting. 
He claims that with the use of silver, the cancer cells actually cnanged
back to normal cells.

In vitro is not in vivo, as you go on to mention.

Perhaps he should try again without using an electrolyte? I would be very
interested if he would make the solution using my catalyst of H2O2. I will
send you my protocol, if you would like it.

I don't doubt it. But there are many honorable men who are still learning
about this substance.

It is used extensively in burn centers, as well.

Do you have any specific referances to research done on this?

So, is it your theory that it is the conversion of the silver particle to
silver oxide that has the antibiotic effect? Am I understanding your
meaning?

"Petri dishes don't have kidneys!", to coin a phrase! Do the organisms
have to actually eat the silver? It is my understanding that the silver
attacks and disables the enzymes used in "breathing". This way, it is
effective against fungi, bacteria, and viral agents. The need to "breath"
is the common denominator. Any microbiologists out there?

I have used it topically, and have seen tremendous results, as have
others. Unless there is an oxidizing agent on the skin, it is working
without one. It is used on burn victims, externally, and with wonderful
results.

Higher dose? higher than what? Also, a higher does does not necessarily
equate to a higher concentration. It can also be just a matter of using
more of a lesser concentration. IT is higher concentration you mean
though, correct? The findings of Dr.Henry Crook showed the increased
concentration of the colloidal solution had a correspondingly improved
effect, IN VITRO (petri dishes). This could also be applied to external
applications, apparently. Please note...this is not research being done
with "mild silver protein", it is pure colloid of silver.

Agreed, what I have said all along.

Do you have any documentation that the clear colloidal solution is clear
due to smaller particle size. Water is a clear solution, but no particles
of silver. The yellow gold color is said to be the best color by some
leading experts in the field, DR.DeLynn Hansen specifically (Silverado).

There have been studies done on the formation of silver salts in the
stomach. This is theoretical. I have heard medical opinions too, to the
contrary...that "colloidal silver passes unchanged through the stomach
and into the small intestine." Do you have research findings on this
occuring in the stomach itself?

The silver ions are the operative factor, and they will be most effective
in the smallest groupings (particle size). It is only in the colloidal
range .01-.001 micron where these particles have an antibiotic/antiseptic
effect, according to Hansens report "COLLOIDAL SILVER TYPES AND HISTORY"
in which he refers to the work of V.Henri and Kopaczewski. This report is
available therough his office..801-426-4586.

Probably ought to research this one a bit more. :-)

Any type! Silver has been used for thousands of years. The electrolytical
process has just been used in this century, and makes even better use of
this element. Mr.Nowell's boat does not fly, once again.

Let me just point out, in spite of Mr.Nowell's insistance that we can know
nothing without years of research and millions of dollars, etc., etc....
The clear fact is simply this, an eye witness account is EVIDENCE accepted
in any court of law. That is, if it is not a KANGAROO COURT. No pun
intended.

Sounds like a pre-1938 "mild silver protein". :-)

Verified BY INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY TESTS. And it is NOT a ""mild silver
protein""! Correct! 

Why , this is contrary to the incessant claims of Mr.Nowell. It is
impossible, unless.....Mr.Nowell is incorrect.  I hope we all know the
answer to this by now.

> Keep on researching,

Thanks Max! You too! Let us know how it goes! 

How much research do we need to do, when we have an excellent colloid,
that works wonderfully?  I think it is mainly others who require us to
prove to them, at our expense, what many of us already know. No offense,
but I'll pass. If people like Mr.Nowell are so oriented to research
findings, let them pay for them.  NO wonder Mr.Nowell is so peeved, his
company spent all that money, and we didn't have to. I am glad to share
what I have found through my work, with others, that they may have silver
for themselves. I personally got to the point in my research where I had
learned enough and I rest upon that which I have found. There are some
areas I will continue to experiment in, and will share much of what I find
with the list in general. Research, for the sake of research, is a
perpetual burden. I don't see the need to carry it. Why continue to seek,
when you have already found? That has theological applications as well! 


God Bless,

Scott
