Hi all,

This is Brita.  I joined the list 5 days ago and read about 200
postings in the last couple days in addition to reading approx.
120 websites re: CS this past weekend.  I am very much relieved
to know y'all care.

Several years ago I heard about CS from Dave Hinkson's radio program. Although 
it sounded real good, I didn't buy any because
I had no symptoms of any disease.  Then menopause set in, (now I
gave my age away), anyway I began to get heartburn, on a daily
basis, and I got a little concerned.  Finally I decided to buy
some CS. I bought some from "Kaire", 20 ppm, and a Qt of "Silver Mineral Water" 
from a retailer, who I believe uses the "Wateroz".
I felt it was safe to give it a try rather than have some white-robed guy stick 
a large hose down my throat and then ask me to pay for that torture (my 
symptoms weren't that bad).

I never got to try the "Kaire" because one day a bobcat mauled one
of my pet baby chicks and literally ripped a 4" square patch of skin
off it's side, in addition to several major scratches on the rest of it's 
little body.  All I had at hand was the CS.  I poured the whole
bottle (2 oz) of 20ppm "Kaire" on the wounds of my little beastie, took it in 
the house and kept it in a small box with food and water.
For the next three days I used up the second bottle of "Kaire", just
to make sure, because the wound dried up like magic (well almost), and it even 
seemed to form a thin film, dry, but like a transparent skin.  Bleeding had 
stopped immediately, and after the third day this little chick was running 
around with the rest of the brood as 
if nothing had ever happened to it.  (That was it's downfall: the bobcat came 
back and ate it after all.)

Since then, an aquaintance of mine built me a most basic generator,
3 9V batteries, mounted on a little piece of wood, a small lightbulb, a couple 
of wires with alligator clips, and two 1/4" silver strips, not wire, supposedly 
and based on test batches, appa-
rently 99.9%.  All this gentlemen knew was how to make the "white"
CS.  But we did buy a book, Mark Metcalf's I think, I tried out his
recommendations, but did not try to make the yellow kind.  In the 
past I had heard some of the controversy over the two types. 

Since this past weekend, especially after having read the Lindeman article, and 
also Bruce Stenulson's pages I made a whole bunch of
test batches with distilled water, nothing added, heated water, and room 
temperature water. Depending on the length of time processed, 
and the time depended on the amount of water used (8 or 16 oz) it
always came out in some shade of yellow, very light to golden amber,
except the room temperature water (distilled, storebought) it turned
pink. I discontinued that process and set it in a dark cabinet for
comparison and to keep track in writing the next day.  The next day
this pink water had turned yellow, like a "post-it" note.  All batches showed 
the Tyndall effect, without a doubt.  I was happy.
But I have no idea how I can test the ppm, if I used 8 oz of water
the process took approx. 40 minutes, when I used 16 oz of water it took 60 
minutes, however, all batches were quite a bit darker yellow
the next day. Also, when I poured the solutions out of the jars I had made them 
in, the jars had a thin, amber, mirrorlike film on the
inside of them, which I really had to scrub, to get it off.
Therefore I ask, is this to be expected?   Is it harmful?

But above that I have an even more urgent question.  My son had told
a Viet Nam vet friend of his that I make CS, and when this man ran out of his 
store -bought solution, he asked if I could help him out
and make some for him?  He appears to be suffering from the effects of  AGENT 
ORANGE, pretty badly at that, but he has confidence in the
CS  but also takes prescription meds for it.

I would be very happy to help the guy out temporarily but even that
scares me because I don't know what ppm I'm getting and if it is even 
appropriate.  

Do any of you know of someone, or have firsthand knowledge with
regard to CS and Agent Orange?  Would CS actually represent a boost to his 
immune system, in your opinion?  If so, would you be so kind
and tell me how and why you think it would?

Being  the wife of a military vet myself, and by now knowing a whole lot more 
than I did then, I sincerely believe that many of these suffering veterans have 
been shafted too much, too long, and wishing
someone well, even prayer, for someone who is starving or slowly
dying just doesn't cut it, it just isn't enough effort on my part.

Although my computer is ancient and the hard drive only has 500MEG
I invite your opinions whether by list or regular e-mail to me, if you would, 
please.

                         Sincerely, Brita in Florida
P.S. Is the person that's "oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast" by any 
chance on my side of the gulf coast?
P.P.S.
The bobcat ain't around any more either!
