Hello, All-- I'm relatively new the Colloidal Silver list, and wish to thank the participants for exemplifying an essential character trait of a high, progressive civilization. A recent anecdote illustrates what I mean. When gas prices began to take off, I did a spate of talk radio shows (short-wave, internet) about the century-long history of 100+mpg carburetors and their suppression by big industry. This generated an impressive list of respondents (engineers, machinists, NASA scientists, back yard experimentors), all of whom agreed to freely promulgate rather than profiteer from any breakthroughs we developed. (If you patent an idea, it'll be bought & shelved; if you hoard a discovery, you can be personally excised!)
When it comes to introducing methodologies that endanger entrenched financial empires, either we'll ALL have access or NO ONE will. So it is with CS, which at the very least, threatens the entire antibiotics industry. Those who contribute their findings here are among the first to grasp a new & broader definition of "profit", one that recognizes the *indirect* benefits of living in a society that has *collectively* benefitted from a better idea. Nothing against Ayn Rand--enlightened "selfishness" simply recognizes the necessary reciprocity between personal and societal welfare. --Russ -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
