Some, among those of a more secular turn, may find
this little book to be of interest. I found it to be
well written
and, obviously, well thought-out. I am not "shilling"
for this gentleman's view ..but found his presentation to
be of genuine value----for me. Additionally, for a
treatise written so long ago, it almost "shames" the
current New Age authors------a majority of who (in my
view) cannot hold a candle to this person's rhetoric and
composition.. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

Although I do not know Eve Hillary, or am
aware of her personal
credentials I believe the List Members may find this
interesting reading-----in view of the recent postings
regarding the difficulties of alternative supplements and
vitamins, in Australia. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

From: Brooks Bradley
We have determined that the simple expedient of using
undiluted 100 ppm colloidal silver (with as much particulate
content as is practical to generate) as the thinning agent
for water-base paints [both exterior and interior] furnishes
an excellent barrier/neutralizer for a majority of infective
pathogens comining in contact with the painted surface.
Interestingly, even if the infective agent dries and is
later translocated to living organisms (e.g. human skin
surfaces), a minute silver component is carried with it.
Upon contact with moisture (a condition which normally
revitalizes the pathogen), the particulate colloidal silver
expresses its capabilities for pathogen control as it is
re-moisturized. The actual degree of effectiveness depends
upon several conditions, but the experimental protocol for
transmission prevention demonstrates to be a worthwhile
methodology for pursuit.
Even under conditions of accelerated oxidation of the
painted surface, mild abrasion....through vigorous
wiping---restores the surface to effectiveness. Under
conditions of high humidity, where moisture is precipitated
upon the surfaces (e.g. hand rails) the pathogens are,
immediately, subjected to the control effects of the silver
component.
Sincerely,
Brooks Bradley
