Greetings to the Silver List,

The similarities between creating colloidal silver and colloidal gold are
so great that we may greatly expand our capabilities with just a minimum of
effort in the direction of colloidal gold. I am hoping this will be of
interest to our list. I have been making this for a couple of years now and
the solution really is quite interesting. Due to illness in our family and
congregation I have been improving productions techniques and resumed
production. The use of the solution is described at the end of the article.
 Use ONLY the purest gold, and NO salt or electrolyte. A 24 volt DC source
works just fine. Gaps between the electrodes should be adjusted for maximum
output (mine are placed aprox 1/32 inch apart). It is a long process like
this, even when heating the solution continually. But it works well, and
requires almost no supervision. Will talk later on this.

For those of us using the DC adaptors, make sure they are ventilated well.
I took a dremel tool and cut air vents in the cases of mine and now there
is no heat build-up and they can run continually without burning up. The
factory has somehow managed to "overlook" the need for cooling air in these
devices. 


God Bless,


Scott

The following is an article that was published in Clin.Med.and Surgery,
July, 1935. Some of the text was somewhat obscured due to the age of the
copy. Please forgive any oddities resultant thereof. This was written in
the days
of Royal Rife and the development of his devices (prior to the attack by
the "mainstream medical" cartel which virtually destroyed him AND his
work), and just prior to the advent of modern antibiotics. Silver was
pushed out of the "main stream" shortly thereafter. There are quite a few
sites on the web with info. on colloidal gold.

COLLOIDAL GOLD IN INOPERABLE CANCER
By Edward H.Ochsner,M.D., B.S.,F.A.C.S., Chicago
Consulting Surgeon, Augustine Hospital

When a patient with inoperable cancer seeks medical aid, there are three
main problems which confront his medical adviser:

1)-- What, if anything, can be done to cure this patient?

2)--If cure is impossible, what can be done to prolong the life, strength
and vitality of the patient, so as to make it possible for him to continue
his ordinary vocation for a time, at least?

3)--If neither cure nor prolongation of life can be accomplished, how can
the remaining days of the unfortunate victim of this dread disease be made
as comfortable as possible?

During 1924 and 1928 I read three papers on the use of colloidal gold in
inoperable cancer, before three medical societies (Also, before the Chicago
Medical Society, March 20, 1935). In all of these articles I stressed the
following points: That, in all cases where the tumor is accessible to the
knife or cautery, it should be removed surgically; that, when the condition
is hopeless, colloidal gold helps to prolong life and makes life much more
bearable, both to the patient and to those about him, because it shortens
the period of terminal cachexia and greatly reduces pain and discomfort and
the need of opiates, in a majority of instances.

In all of my articles I further took the precaution to state, in
unmistakable terms, that the remedy was not a cure-all, but that, in my
opinion, it exerted a selective action upon the cancer tissue and that it
would occasionally save the life of a patient who was suffering from cancer
and who was otherside doomed.

Since 1926, my experience with considerable number of patients suffering
from inoperable carcinoma convinces me that the statements made in these
articles are very conservative and all well within the facts. This opinion
is fully substantiated by scores of unsolicited letters from physicians
from every section of this country and Canada, who have written me personal
letters at various times stating their experience with colloidal gold in
such cases. In making a careful analysis of fifty of these letters, the
following interesting facts are disclosed: Twenty (20) letters stated that
there was a reduction in the size of the tumor or it's disappearance; 30
reported reduction of pain and a considerable number stated that at no time
were opiates necessary; 18 stated that the appetite and digestion improved
under treatment; 20 reported a gain in weight and strength; 15 believed
that it had definately prolonged the life of the patient; and 6 said that
the remedy had apparently resulted in a cure of the condition.

In this connection it is to be specifically noted that the foregoing facts
and figures were not taken from answers in a questionaire, but from general
letters written to me by physicians, asking for suggestions regarding
patients then under treatment, and incidentally reporting on patients
previously treated. If a questionaire had been sent out, it is evident that
a larger number of answers reporting general improvements would probably
have been sent in , as is evidenced by the following short abstracts and
quotations from various other letters:

CASE REPORTS

Dr.P.J.M. reports the following: "The patient is doing well, eating well,
gaining weight and strength. The blood picture is much better-white blood
corpuscles increased, and hemoglobin higher. Without question his life has
been prolonged."

Here is a report from Dr.C.F.S., from far-off Guatemala, Central America:
"The patient had inoperable carcinoma of the throat, with excruciating head
pains, complete anorexia and insomnia. Shortly after beginning treatment
with colloidal gold the headache ceased; the appetite returned; sleep
became normal; hemorrhages, which had been severe, ceased; the foul odor
disappeared and the progress of the disease in the throat was suspended.
The patient subsequently died from a hemorrhage."

Dr.C.L.W. makes the following comment: "I have had the opportunity of using
colloidal gold in two cases. One has cancer of the breast and the other has
cancer involving the right side of the face. Both are about eighty years of
age. In both the destruction of tissue has continued, yet I am sure that it
has been retarded. The special benefit received by  these old patients has
been their freedom from pain. In
all such cases that I have treated before, morphine had to play an
important part. No morphine has been used at any time with either of these
patients. This has greatly relieved the anxiety of the family, as well as
being a great comfort to the patients."

Dr.L.H.N. reported a case of papillary adenocarcinoma of the ovary in the
Wisconsin Medical Journal of March, 192; operated upon Feb. 18,1925. From
his published report I take the following: "Surgical treatment consisted in
loosening of surrounding adhesions and removal of every part of the tumor
mass that it was safe to remove." Fifty-one days after the operation he
states that anorexia and constipation were still present, requiring two or
three enemas and 1/4 to 1/2 grain (16 to 32 mg.) of morphine daily. The
patient was very much emaciated and cachectic and a tumor mass about the
size of a large grapefruit was again palpable to the right of the median
line. The weight of the patient was less that 100 pounds at the time be
started using colloidal gold, which was continued for two years.

One year ago, or nine years after the operation, I received the following
letter from the doctor: "Mrs.H. is apparently cured. She weighs 180 pounds
and works for others, besides doing her own housework."

Dr.K.F.S. reports the following: "I operated upon a patient for carcinoma
of the stomach, doing a gastroenterostomy merely as a paliative, the growth
having become too large and with too much involvement of the mesentaric
glands to make it possible to do a recection fo the sotmach. This growth
was not only macroscopically a carcinoma of the pylorus, extending over the
lesser curvature and into the gastrocolic ligaments, but a microscopic
examination proved it to be a glandular carcinoma of a rapidly
proliferating type. This finding was extremely interesting to me, as the
stomach was so badly involved that there was barely room to do a
gastroenterostomy, and a resection was entirely out of the question. About
a year later the patient died from and intercurrent affection. The
postmortem examination of the abdomen showed the gastroenterostomy
functioning perfectly and complete disappearance of the cancerous growth."

Such evidence, of which the forgoing is only a small portion of the letters
received, simply cannot be dispensed of with a leer and a smirk, or a
"smart-alecky" remark. Can there be any question whose opinion is more
trustworthy in such a matter: that of scores of practicing physicians with
large clinical experience, or that of one whose clinical knowledge of
cancer seems to have been very largely, if not exclusively, acquired by
absorption while sitting in a well-cushioned office chair?

And now I wish to report a few of my own cases.

Mrs.E.M. age 50 was first seen in October, 1927, and operated upon six days
later- a low median laperotomy. Both ovaries were nodular, the size of a
large grapefruit, and were removed. Several surgically inaccessible
carcinomatous nodules were found in the parietal peritoneum. Microscopic
diagnosis: papillocarcinoma of the ovaries. She was given colloidal gold
for two years. When last examined, seven years after the operation, she was
found to be in excellent health. No recurrence has appeared.

Every practicing physician knows that whenever there are inaccessible
carcinomatous retroperitoneal lymph glands, surgery alone is practically
hopeless.

Mrs.M.L.M. was first seen in August 1922, at the age of 56 years, when she
gave the following history: Nine years previously she had a complete right
mamectomy, which was followed by radium and deep x-ray therapy: one year
later the entire area was covered with nodules, which were excised: six
years ago the nodules reappeared. I started using colloidal gold and the
nodules gradually disappeared and ramained absent until two years ago, when
they again reappeared and were again removed. All three operations were
performed by prominent, capable, nationally known surgeons. In each case
the diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic examination.

When I first examined the patient on this latest occasion, numerous nodules
had appeared again. Colloidal gold treatment was started again, and for the
past eighteen months the nodules have remained stationary.

>From a letter dated February 11, 1935, I quote the following: "The nodules
are about the same. I feel well and my friends say I look extremely well."
Dr.C.E.S., the physicain who referred this patient to me, makes this
ovservation: "My personal feeling is that Mrs.M. owes her life and present
good condition to colloidal gold."

In addition to this case, I have at least four others in whom recurrent
carcinomatous nodules disappeared, either temporarily or permanently, under
colloidal gold treatment. Every surgeon of large experience knows how fatal
recurrent carcinoma of the breast is, under any form of treatment. The
absorption of these carcinomatous nodules in such a considerable number of
patients is, I believe, positive proof that colloidal gold has a selective
inhibitory action upon cancer cells.

Miss R.C., age 41 years, apppeared for examination in May, 1929, and the
following history was supplied by the patient: My mother had bronchitis six
weeks before I was born. At birth I was "choked up" and was ill much of the
first three years of my life. At one month of age I had scarlet fever or
measels- the doctors disagreed as to the diagnosis- and chicken pox as a
baby; measles at 13. I was vaccinated at 14 and was very ill for three
days; had German measles at 16; mumps at 37; and was subject to colds
repeatedly, coughing for from four to eight weeks each time. At 20, a
suitcase fell on my head from a rack in a railway train."

"At 21 I began to have glandular trouble; at 23 removal of glands of the
side of my neck and an operation on the left scapula, for tuberculosis,
were done. At 26 there was an injury to my little finger, which became
markedly swollen. At the same time a pimple appeared on the end of my nose
and on the chin. At 27 I was referred by my local physcian to the then
probably most prominent internist in Chicago, for diagnosis and advice. He
diagnosed tuberculosis of the left lung and ordered open windows;
tuberculosis of the left little finger, and ordered amputation; and
tuberculosis of the skin on my nose and chin. He said that a few x-ray
treatments should cure that, and also advised tuberculosis serum once a week."

"During the following three months I had thirteen x-ray treatments without
lead covers for my eyes or face. Several months later, I had the little
finger amputated and an area of my left shoulder excised. A few months
later I was sent to a prominent Chicago dermatologist, who diagnosed lupus
vulgaria, and I was treated with Alpine light, x-rays, carbonic acid snow,
etc. The pain was excruciating and the skin was much worse after these
applications, until my whole face, cheeks and chin were raw. During these
years, my weight varied between 120- and 130 pounds. One year before seeing
you, an ulcer developed on my left cheek and I again consulted a
dermatologist, who diagnosed the condition as malignant."

When I first saw this patient there was an irregular indurated ulcer, about
five centimeters in each diameter, involving the left cheek and extending
up the side of the nose, complicated by lupus vulgaris of the whole face,
small area in the lumbar region, one on the gluteal region and one on the
left chest. Her whole face was markedly swollen and livid, with fissures
about the nose and lips. Her weight was about 158 1/2 pounds.

The indurated ulcer was excised and the area covered with dry Thiersch skin
grafts. The wound healed promptly. Microscopic diagnosis, by one
pathologist, was reported as basal-cell carcinoma; by another, prickle-cell
epithelioma.

I started colloidal gold treatment at once. There has been no recurrrence
of the carcinoma, and the lupus is apparently checked. The malady of the
skin and face has practically disappeared, although the skin is very
atrophic and scaling. Her general health and condition are greatly
improved, her present weight being 173 pounds. The present condition of the
patient can scarcely give an idea of the deplorable state she was in when I
saw her for the first time. In this instance, colloidal gold seems
certainly to have greatly imporved the lupus and possibly to have
prrevented a recurrence of the carcinoma.

CONCLUSION

One of the purposes of this paper is to repeat the statement previously
made that colloidal gold has an inhibitory effect upon cancer growths; and
even if our diagnostic methods may, in the course of time, be greatly
perfected, there will probably always be hundreds of patients who will
delay consulting their physicains until surgical intervention is no longer
possible.

IN ORDER TO SECURE MAXIMUM RESULTS WITH COLLOIDAL GOLD IN THE TREATMENT OF
INOPERABLE CARCINOMA, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE FULFILLED: THE
PREPARATION USED MUST BE STABLE, OF DEFINATELY KNOWN STRENGTH AND THE
PARTICLES OF GOLD MUST BE SMALL AND OF FAIRLY UNIFORM SIZE; THE GOLD MUST
NOT BE HELD IN SUSPENSION BY THE USE OF A STABILIZER, SUCH AS GUM ARABIC,
OR SOLUBLE GOLD SALTS, SUCH AS CHLORIDE OF GOLD. STABILIZERS SEEM TO COAT
THE PARTICLES OF GOLD AND THIS RENDERS THE GOLD LESS ACTIVE; MOREOVER, THE
SOLUBLE GOLD SALTS ARE TOXIC, WHILE PURE COLLOIDAL GOLD IS NON-TOXIC, IN
SUITABLE DOSES.

In all the cases reported in this article, a colloidal gold preparation
which fulfilled the foregoing requirements and which contained 1/55 grain
of metalic gold to ten drops was employed. The initial dose was 30 drops in
a wineglassful of water one-half hour gefore each meal three times a day.
This was increased one drop daily to 60 drops at each dose. Nearly all
patients tolerated this amount without gastric disturbances. If the tongue
became beefy or if the patient complained of burning in the stomach, the
dose was reduced 10 drops. This reduction in doses was continued as long as
the patient needed colloidal gold. In some cases it has seemed desirable to
use the remedy intravenously, in addition to the oral administration. The
intravenous dose is 1-5 cc, twice a week.

I wish again to emphasize the fact tha colloidal gold is not a cure-all,
and never was the claim put forward that was a cure-all, or even a
thoroughly astisfactory specific. However, when all other remedies have
failed, it will occasionally save a life; if not, it will often prolong
life and, still more often, make the last days bearable and quite
comfortable for the patient, without the use of narcotics. I maintain that
these things are quite worth while.
