Hi Elle, I see that has occured to both you and Ode Coyote. I have noticed that many CSers are ignoring the power of the immune system - let us not sell it short at our peril. A recent article was deploring the excessive use of "Germ fighters" - aerosol sprays,and hand soaps, because the writer maintained that the practice weakened the ability of the immune system to respond when an invader launched an attack that our immune system was unprepared to deal with. If, as a child, I had dropped something I was eating on to the floor I would have been told by my grandmother -- " You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die" I have been involved with the production and use of CS for about a year ( I bought my first generator) - BUT I haven't had a cold since 1955, of flu since 1972, but as Ode pointed out, by 1972 the only teeth which I had, had been made for me by a dentist ! Not all genes are created equal ! There are nutritional supplements whose purported use will BOOST the power of our immune systems, and a good investment they might be if some listers are experiencing less that robust good health. CS does not replace our immune systems ! Jack Be Nice -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
