Awesome!!! That's a great success story. I guess I need to persevere... :-)
Somebody once told me that changing the way people thing is like trying to change the course of the Queen Mary: You can turn the rudder, but it takes a long time for the ship to respond. Or in some cases I suppose it is like trying to change the course of the Titanic... :-) Dick ________________________________ Fm: Silver Smith <cag....@gmail.com> To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 8:18:14 PM Subject: Re: CS>spreading the word Dick, I agree. There seems to be universal "resistance" or deception maybe be a better term. I did stint as a Lab Manager for a hospital lab in the Duke Healthcare System. Shortly after I arrived, we began having a personnel shortage due to sickness. I decided to pull out my "CS solution" for the personnel shortage and began to offer it to people. Several were "game" and had almost miraculous responses. One lady that was sick that I offered it to looked at me as if I was from another planet. However, two wweks later she was still sick. So I asked her IF she wanted to get well? (Remember she was right in the middle of the Duke Healthcare System but nothing they tried worked) She said yes so I went and got her some. She was well in two days and singing the CS praises. I think the "misery factor" opens people up to it? After that I began to have people show up at my door asking for "some of that silver stuff". When I left there were over 20 employees of the Duke System that were using CS. We even did some testing with CS in the Micro Dept. And it did great in MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureaus).
