I've been having to monitor my blood through the eye piece on the m-scope and it's really taking a toll on my eyes. By the way you can tell when your eyes are getting bad when your arms arn't long enough to move a piece of paper away from your face so you can read it. :] Only kidding that's just old age. Just to let you and the rest of the list know I got some paramicium in today and they sent me 4 times what I ordered and don't think they will charge me for it since they took 3 weeks to get it here. I promised Jim I'd send him some for testing plus some 100 proof :} (PPM) store bought CS to look at (made by wateroz). Now insted of having to split one I can send him a full one and we can see how it that CS effects the little bugs. Plus there's enough there to test many other brews. I just put a drop of paramicium on a slide and looked at the little bugs under the m-scope at low power. They were moving as the normally do. So I put a drop of 100ppm CS in there. They went nuts, spinning and running like there tails were on fire. In less than 30 seconds there was no movement at all. :] Just to make sure that what I saw was what happened maybe Jim will repeat and see if he gets the same results. Maybe another good test would be to mix good bacteria with the paramicium and drop in a drop of CS to see what happens. Also something else every one might be interested in. I just got a letter from a friend that is a cellular biologist and has access to a research lab. Are you setting down for this one? He said they are in the procress of getting an electron microscope. It gets better he offered to do the disk testing in his spare time for practically nothing!!! Take Care Reid -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
