Congratulations Lawrence, you just contradicted your self, yet once again. 
If the only two possibilities are "utilized" and "excreted"....THEN where
is the awesome and terrible "storage" of the silver particles in the
body's epidermal layers...as in agyria????? IF you are right, it does not
exist. 

Also, what does a "maximum rate" have to do with the previous statement in
regard to excretion of the silver from the body? You do not state what
this "maximum rate" is! What is this "maximum rate" Lawrence? Do you even
know? Even if your statement is correct, the "maximum rate", if low
enough, would certainly substantiate the theory of using low
concentrations for the sake of a cumulitave effect , a gradual increase of
the presence of colloidal silver in the body. This is acheived by using a
solution of low concentration, as opposed to a your method of using
high concentrations.

So if we are not using an electrolyte, and we are getting a beautiful
yellow-golden solution (indicating small particle size), then we need not
fear the dreaded agyria.  It is only the "poorly prepared silver solutions
and the silver salts that bring on agyria" according to Lawrence.

Then, Lawrence, WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BY
CLAIMING WE WERE ALL IN DANGER OF GETTING AGYRIA AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
DEBATE??? If this has been your position all along, you are guilty of
needlessly sowing the seed of fear. What would possibly motivate you, or
anyone for that matter, to do such a thing??? ($$$$$????)

Nonsense. It is not the volume of the solution that can potentially effect
the enzyme systems (which is debatable whether this actually takes place,
btw), it is the concentration of the colloidal particles in the system. If
this theory is correct, destabilazation of the enzyme systems due to high
concentrations of colloidal silver in the body, then it has nothing to do
with "contaminants in homemade silver preparations", which do not
deactivate the enzymes. It is the colloidal silver itself that is said to
deactivate the enzymes. You shot yourself in the foot again Lawrence. If
you have research data to the contrary, please post it. This subject has
been covered from Rife-List discussions. Here is a link for a site that
claims colloidal silver (the very best of solutions) is destructive to
the enzyme systems, and therefore should be avoided. 
<http://www.europa.com/~rcs> It is not the contaminants that are claimed
to be the destructive element, but the colloidal silver itself.
I have not visited this site lately, but about a year ago I asked the
owner of the site to support his data. I told him, if he was right, I
would sincerely recant my position on colloidal silver. The data was not
forthcoming. Another member of the list posted a rebutal to his claims, I
probably have it on disk somewhere....I think it may have been Mr.Beasley?
It was some time ago, though a memorable posting indeed!!

THREE BOTTLES A DAY .....at $33.99 a bottle= $103.00 a day!! Outrageous!!
And from just ONE customer. ($$$$!!!!)

Lawrence...you give us so much credit! Have you taken a poll of those
making CS on the list? You will not find a 1 ppm solution "typical" here.
We have the ability to make solutions concentrated 10 X higher than yours,
without batting an eye. I make solution near 200 ppm as a matter of
course. I then dilute it to create 5ppm solution. I do this on purpose
Lawrence, because taking more of a lower concentration is better than
taking less of a higher, from my understanding. Anyone can have high
concentrations in their solutions, but they are not the best way accross
the board (Perhaps topically) I still hold to the position that it is the
amount of silver introduced into the system that is the key factor...not
the concentration.

Lawrence, your data is askew! Yet once again! You have not proved the
presence of silver salts in my solution. I have no silver salts. Others,
who do not use an electrolyte, have no silver salts as well.

If a person needed a higher concentration of solution, it is easily
accomplished. One need not go through all these gymnastics to acheive it.
Not to mention the incredible expense of using your product ...over $100 a
day...$3000 a month for one person.

Lawrence, my solution is made by concentrating 8 ozs. of solution to the
level of aprox. 160ppm. This is 8 times more concentrated than your
solution. I would need 8 times less of this solution than your solution.
But then this does not line up your idea of "typical".  Anyone can do this
same thing. Anyone can make a pure-safe solution. Just listen to those who
are already doing it, who have had tests run, who have used it over years
and seen the benefits...and the lack of negative side-effects (as claimed
by Lawrence).

If an antibiotic causes kidney failure, it seems it just might. Some
people have reactions to ...pennicillin...and don't live through them.
But then that is another story.

Rates? No doubt this will vary between individuals. No doubt,
illness/health will be factors in this rate. You know....the 
rate that is "always MAXIMUM".

There is also cell permeability, Lawrence. If the cells are not permeable,
the silver will not be able to enter them, and thus destroy the pathogens
within....is this not a factor?

Bob Beck has designed electrical units that increace the permeability of
the cells aproximately 20 times their normal rate. Needless to say, when
combined with the use of a good colloidal silver solution (homemade) these
two approaches work exceptionally well together!! I have discussed the
matter of cell permeability with a Doctor friend  and he believes the data
to support the position that the "Mild Silver Protein" is less able to be
utilized by the cells, due to the necessity of reducing it to a single
silver particle by removing the protein it is bonded to. They must be
separate for the silver to be utilized. This is the Doctor's position. 
I am waiting on research to back this, though it seems logical.

In any case...it is not necessary to buy high priced MSP...for any reason!

With HIV this is not a matter of hypothetical theorizing. For the immune
system to "recognize" the virus, the protein coating must be altered. The
use of the Beck device does just that, it alters the exterior protein
layer of the HIV virus and makes it identifiable. The immune system then
collects the viruses (which can no longer replicate due to the alteration
of the protein layer) and excretes them. Nice work Dr.Beck!!!

Well, that all depends on the method one uses. In some cases it requires a
lot less silver to do the same work, and better. 

Nice to hear from you Lawrence!

God Bless,

Scott
