Dear Katerina,

I have developed a terrible spaciness and feeling of not quite being in my
body and problems with my eyes, which could be the damage that he warned me
about-I don't think so - but everyone has a different theory of what it is
and no-one knows for sure. So I wish there were enough studies to prove

There were times when I felt terribly let down by
my peers and teachers when confronted by professional challenges in life. I
felt then that they have deliberately held back some of the tutorials which
perhaps could have spared me some of the most embarrassing moments in my
life. I thought that schooling was hard enough but I realised that it was a
lot easier than growing up, professionally speaking.. The bottom line is :
there is more virtue in research than in resting on one's professional
pride. The healing jig-saw puzzle has already been programmed into every
one of us by the time we leave medical college and it is up to the
individual to piece it together in his or her own way.
I discovered that babies presenting with fever
need not be due to an infection. Overfed babies running high fever after
emptying their stomach by vomiting quickjly settled down without any further
need of prescription except for feeding
advice. A few ill timed vomiting episodes in the consultation room
convinced me of that.. I was never taught Gastric Fever in medical school.
I was never shown a case of uterine cough during my clinical years till I
started maternity clinics
where I witnessed gravid ladies coughing their way through till term when
the cough suddenly ceased. So is the case of chronic nasal drip which
turned out to be leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid due to an undivulged
accident with head injury the patient sustained sometime ago. It is
standard medical teaching that the cerebro-spinal fluid circulates only in
the brain and spinal cord. But the Russians have
proven ,using radio-active dyes that the circulation of the cerebro-spinal
fluid extends peripherally bathing the nerve fibres . Besides our lungs,
the skin is also a breathing and excretory organ. The higher incidence of
breast cancer in the bra-wearing population is based on this premise. There
is another organ that is often subject to respiratory distress : the human
brain. Its respiratory " nose " is the cribriform plate: it is a
fragile,sieve-like plate forming part of the floor of the anterior cranial
fossa and the roof of the nasal cavities. It is through this sieve like
plate
that the brain tissue ventilates. Any prolonged blockade of this sieve-like
plate will
depress cerebral tissue metabolism due to disproportionate gaseous exchange.
The brain's nose has never been mentioned in any neuro-anatomy text.The
present excepted concept of regulation of patency of the respiratory tract
is the optimum percentage of carbon dioxide in the inspired air and not
oxygen.
The constriction of the bronchial ramifications with collapsed alveoli and
the mucosal secretions are respiratory reflexes to depress ventilation so as
to increase
the retention of CO2.. Controlled respiration with breath-holding helps to
restore
normal breathing resulting in better gaseous exchange. The spaciness and
the feeling of not being in your body is because of the altered functional
state of the brain cells due to defective ventilation across the cribriform
plate.- your brain's
nose. Your sinusitis may not necessarily be an infection but may be of
allergic
origin. Therefore Colloidal Silver irrespective of its strength should not
be rgarded as a cure-all..The unpleasant episode of your spacy and etheric
experience is due to a ventilatory stress factor. MSM is a vasodilator. A
sensitive dose may cause
light-headeness which probably aggravated your brain's blocked nose .Your
ocular disturbances could be a spill-over of impaired cerebral ventilation.
with congestion
of adjacent anatomical structures.
It is well nigh possible for the atomic or
molecular silver ion to
cross the Blood-Brain Barrier because the whole basis of cellular function
is molecular. The sobering fact to consider is whether the brain cells will
utilise the silver ions in the existing state. Cells are fastidious feeders.
They feed themselves
by bioresonance. based on recognition of specific signals from
bioradiating nutrient source. Being metallic, silver molecules are
inorganic and unidirectional and side effects cannot be ruled out. The clue
to its safe utilization
lies in finding out its balancing compatibilty with its fellow trace
colloidal minerals.
To my mind, botanization is a possibility.

Lew
