Betsy said, "..it would also be nice to have some simple explanations about how cs works and which ones are most effective. I am still confused about EIS, meosilver, argentyn and ASAP.."
In our struggle to simplify and identify the components of effective CS brewing and usage (along with the human inclination to plug one's product), it's easy to forget (or not notice) the basics: Silver, the metal, is fatal to bacteria, viruses and fungi. When you consider that the royalty in Europe ground up silver into powder and drank it in liquid, to good effect (what percentage of that was ionic?), most any method using electricity that any of us are doing today is just fine. The questions, "Which type of CS is the best?" or, "Which CS-brewer is the best?" become relevant only in terms of "How fast does it make it" or "How much does it make at a time" or "How much does it cost", not "How effective is it?" Although some folks will say that they had better success resolving their health issue using this brand than that brand, or this ppm than that ppm, someone else will say just the opposite. What does it all mean? As Brooks Bradley recently posted, "Our research has, categorically, confirmed that it is quite DIFFICULT to manufacture an electrically isolated colloidal silver THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE as a bacterial/viral control agent.." Both UCLA School of Medicine and Brigham Young University had amazing results using 2-1/2 ppm and 5 ppm. Or as Bob Beck said, "When you control a source of pennies-per-gallon make-it-yourself high concentration Colloidal Silver you can use it for hundreds of health improvement applications." If you are using three 9-volt batteries, you may need to simply drink more to get the same affect as the expensive stuff, but so what? In my own mind, unless it's 1 or 2 ppm CS that you would need to drown in, freely using CS is a very empowering experience in life. Let me quote from Bob Beck again: A FEW UNIQUE PLUS TRADITIONAL USES FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER "When you control a source of pennies-per-gallon make-it-yourself high concentration Colloidal Silver you can use it for hundreds of health improvement applications. A few are suggested here. You can use most any non-chlorinated water to make silver colloid for industrial and external uses and distilled or de-ionized water for internal or injectable applications. "Add to suspected drinking water when traveling or camping. Silver-sprayed burns heal rapidly without scarring. Safely sterilize anything from toothbrushes to surgical instruments. Use topically on cuts, wounds, abrasions, rashes, sunburn, razor nicks and bandages. Spray on garbage to prevent decay odors. Mist kitchen sponges, towels, cutting boards to eliminate E. Coli and salmonella bacteria to prevent food poisoning, gastrointestinal inflammation, and genital tract infections. "Add when canning, preserving or bottling. Use like peroxide on zits and acne. Add to juices and milk to prevent spoiling, fermenting, deteriorating, clabbering or curdling. Spray in shoes, between toes, between legs to stop most skin itch, athletes foot, fungi, jock itch. Diminish dandruff, psoriasis, skin rashes, etc. Add to bath water, gargle, douches, colon irrigation, nasal spray and dental water-pic solutions. Cuts downtime dramatically from colds, flu, pneumonia, staph, strep, respiratory infections and rhino viruses. Skin itch, eye and ear infections, some moles and warts vanish (put on bandaid and wear overnight each night until gone). Spray on body after bathing. Use with Q-tips on fingernail, toenail, and ear fungi. Neutralize tooth decay and bad breath. Silver stops halitosis by eliminating bacteria deep in throat and on back of tongue. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, Colloidal Silver never permits strain-resistant pathogens to evolve. "Put a on bandaids and bandages to shorten healing times. Health professionals might consider IV and IM injections. Tumor and polyp shrinking is reported when masses are injected directly (when silver is added to sterile physiological saline or Ringer's Solution that contains 9000 ppm sodium chloride). Toothaches, mouth sores, bacterial irritations are diminished. Soak dentures. Spray refrigerator, freezer and food storage bin interiors. Stop mildew and wood rot. Mix in postage stamp, envelope, and tape moistening wells, paint and paste pots to prevent bacterial growth, odors, spoiling or souring. Add to water based paints, wallpaper paste, dishwater, cleaning and mopping solutions, etc. Spray pet bedding and let dry. "Spray on top of contents of opened jam, jelly, and condiment containers and inside lids before replacing. Mix a little in pet water, birdbaths, cut flower vases. Always add to swamp cooler water. Spray air conditioner filters after cleaning. Swab air ducts and vents to prevent breeding sites for germs. Use routinely in laundry final rinse water and always before packing away seasonal clothes. Damp clothes or towels and washcloths will not sour or mildew. Eliminate unwanted microorganisms in planter soils and hydroponics systems. Spray plant foliage to stop fungi, molds, rot, and most plant diseases. "Treat pools, fountains, humidifiers, Jacuzzis, hot tubs, baths, dishwashers, re-circulating cooling tower water, gymnasium foot dips, and bath and shower mats. Spray inside shoes, watch bands and gloves and under fingernails periodically. Treat shower stalls, tubs, fonts, animal watering troughs, shavers to avoid trading germs. Rinse fruit and vegetables before storing or using. Put in cooking water. Add to human and animal shampoos and they become disinfectants. Prevent carpets, drapes and wallpaper from mildewing. Wipe telephone mouthpieces, pipe stems, headphones, hearing aids, eyeglass frames, hairbrushes, combs, loofas. Excellent for diapers and diaper rash. Do toilet seats, bowls, tile floors, sinks, urinals, door knobs. Kills persistent odors. Rinse invalid's pillowcases, sheets, towels and bedclothes. "There are literally thousands of other essential uses for this ridiculously inexpensive (if you make your own), odorless, nearly tasteless and colorless, totally benign and easily produced, powerful, non-toxic disinfectant and healing agent. You'll find that a spray or misting bottle of Colloidal Silver solution may be the most useful health enhancement tool in your environment." Notice, "when silver is added to sterile physiological saline or Ringer's Solution that contains 9000 ppm sodium chloride". What does that do to the "silver chloride is useless" idea? The reason I like my 10-gallons-per-hour CS brewer the best (shameless plug!) is not because I think it makes the best CS (Who knows? It might!), but because it makes enough to use in all the many beneficial ways that CS is good for. Nearly everyone who has ordered one of my units has said beforehand, "I don't know, what am I going to do with 10 GALLONS of CS?" And every single one of them have afterwards said, "Oh my gosh, I'm so GLAD it makes 10 gallons! The things I am using it for are amazing! And people are appearing out of the woodwork asking me for CS! People I don't even know call me and say, 'Can I get some CS from you?'" ATTENTION ALL NEWBIES! COLLOIDAL/EIS/IONIC/PARTICULATE/ATOMIC/METAPHYSICAL SILVER IN WATER IS NOT DANGEROUS IN ANY QUANTITY! (Sorry for the shouting, just emphasizing.) Immediately someone wants to say, "Yes, but it must be good water". Well, I certainly would advise you to try to get distilled water or deionized water, but the fact is, missionaries in India are making CS using water from the Ganges river, and having wonderful results against malaria and other diseases. In fact, brewing CS in the water is the way they sterilize it. Clear, yellow, even gold CS (I have drunk many, many gallons of gold CS over the last five years) is perfectly safe, IMO. OK, Stan Jones. He made CS using city water (full of chemicals), brewed 8-oz of it for one hour, drank that 8-oz each day for 2 years. Got a faint bluish shadow around his eyes. So, don't make coffee-colored CS, keep it clear to yellow. Don't use tap water. Don't brew for one hour (unless you're making 10 gallons!). You don't need to be all that careful, just vaguely sensible. I made a gallon-batch once and forgot to turn it off. Completely dissolved one of the wires. Looked like coffee (except black). I diluted it with another gallon of water and drank it. I don't like to waste CS. Should I do that frequently? Nope, but I don't need to, I don't dissolve wires very often (not since I bought a timer). The point is, this stuff is amazing, a gift, and the human powers-that-be cannot take it away from us. That's my rant for the day. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
