Christiane, Lung problems are caused by many different things. I can imagine that at ground zero, breathing all that particulate materiaal, much of it could have been sand or clay. Breathing sand causes a particularly dibilitating illness called silicosis. What happens is that fine particles of silica sand get lodged in the lungs, and nothing will remove this. I recently read about a seabee who was sandblasting paint off of the deck of a ship, and for what ever reason was not wearing a mask. Within about twenty minutes he breathed enough, fine grained particulate sand to mess him up for life. In this case colloidal silver will not be of any special help. I think that breathing sand on an occasional basis, over a period of years, must have serious, deleterious effects. I also read a few years ago that sand from the Sahara, wafting across the Atlantic, is a serious health concern for New Yorkers. Reid

He is a NYC police officer. I personally hadn't heard about the lung issues, but then again, I haven't talked to him in a few weeks. Our schedules have not been conducive to communication in the weeks before the holidays. I nebulize with CS, but am not familiar with the ozone and peroxide being used with it. I am more than willing to share the info with him, but would need details. I apologize if this info has been posted on the list in the past few weeks, but I haven't had the time to read the posts either. I can pass on any info that anyone might feel is helpful.
