You might also consider applying colloidal Zinc and Colloidal Copper to
the skin topically, maybe with DMSO and CS. There are people making all
of these colloids, some may sell them off list privately but go to the
colloidal Gold Exchange list and ask. One woman is using CC on her skin
for wrinkles.

You can also find commercial sources of all of these. www.inspiral.com
and Mesogold come to mind as possible sources. There are likely many
others. Any one who is doing a high voltage set up can make them.
