Dear silver list friends, I'm pleased with all the activity. The discussion has been fruitful and folks are enjoying each other -- or at least learning from each other! <GRIN>
Let me touch on a few issues... We've had a big discussion of a lot of arcane sounding chemistry, biology, and physics. This is valuable to those who are involved or interested as it gives our resident experts a chance to share what they know and expand their knowledge. I have two things to say about it: * Don't let the technical talk put you off the subject of CS. It's really simple stuff to make or buy and use. If you've got basic questions, please ask. * Don't allow the occasional contention among them worry you. There's some intellectual and commercial competition as well as a natural process of challenge and review that drives this kind of discussion. As long as everyone involved continues to be civil and courteous we all stand to benefit from what these folks are working out amongst themselves. On other matters... We have reached a consensus long ago that just about *all* CS made by electrolysis or deposition of pure silver in plain distilled water, regardless of the details of recipe, process or equipment, seems to work at least reasonably well. We've heard from satisfied users of all sorts of different products and processes. So find an approach that you understand, that fits your budget, and get started. You don't have to wait for everybody to agree what's the "best", the "correct", or the "only" way. There *are* pitfalls to avoid. People still buy questionable "CS" in tiny bottles for outrageous prices at their local health food store. New people are still bombarded by hype from unscrupulous marketers and disinformation from self appointed debunkers who attempt to use these real problems to distract people from the interesting results being obtained with well made CS. My hope and belief is that we have gathered people here on this list who have a balanced and informed view of colloidal silver and can help steer you between the extremes. So keep sharing information and asking questions, folks! And thank you, emphatically THANK YOU, to all of you who answer and guide and encourage, again and again. Just as a reminder... Our mission: * To provide interested individuals with fair and unbiased information they can use to decide if colloidal silver is safe and effective, and that will help them if they choose to get started. * To support individuals who are experimenting with colloidal silver by providing a forum for discussion, collaboration, reporting results, and exchanging encouragement. * To dispel the hype, half-truths, and disinformation that surround colloidal silver. * To further our understanding of colloidal silver, it's properties, production, and usefulness, and make this information freely available. List rules: * Our bias is that there is enough anecdotal evidence to show that colloidal silver may be useful and worth further study. * Each person is responsible for verifying the safety and usefulness of anything they read here before using the information. * This is a non-commercial forum. No promotional activity is allowed unless specifically approved in advance by me. * We don't endorse or dismiss any particular method or system for making CS, as most seem to work for some people and each has its virtues and drawbacks. * Many of our members reject mainstream ideas about health care. I expect traditional and alternative medicine adherents to remain civil to one another *especially* when they disagree. * We avoid *politics* unless it applies directly to CS or alternative medicine issues, and any discussion of *religion* beyond the normal passing reference or casual greeting. * Be courteous. Flames and *aggressive behavior* will get you a private warning and/or removal from the list with no recourse or appeal. * Complaints about list behavior or content should be directed to *me* and *NOT* to the list. We have a generous and knowledgeable group of people here. I want to welcome all newcomers who wish to share their questions, experiences, ideas and encouragement.
