This is very interesting about cholesterol  not being the bad guy.  What about 
all the drugs out now...do  studies not show they lower heart attack?  They 
sure do think  they're wonderful.  That was interesting about bran too....I 
find  though that one spoonful a day is enough for regularity and I'm pretty  
certain that the incidence of diverticula and hemorrhoids is reduced  with 
enough fiber in the diet.  Maybe some people can eat enough  veggies and fruits 
but I've found only bran or Metamucil wafers (yuck)  do the trick.  
  
  I was wondering about my colloidal silver....it's yellow and tastes  like 
tarnished silverware, ...and I've brewed it with my Colloid Master  777 AC at 
level 5 1/2 to level 7 1/2....so I figured it was pretty high  ppm stuff.  I 
used a friend's TDS meter and it only came up 4 for  one batch and 7 for my 
very strong batch that was yellow-gray.  I  figured it would be higher than 8 
to 14 ppm.  The yellow-gray  batch (just smokey-gray at first) made my mouth 
and esophagus raw and  my gums bled when I brushed my teeth after using a 
tablespoon  full.  Seems lilke the CS I'm making is stronger than what I've  
bought, but that was usually 10 ppm.  The batch yesterday I brewed  at 5 1/2 
(out of possible 10 levels) which they say might equal about  10 ppm, and it 
went for about 7 hours and when I moved the jar, black  streamers fell off the 
silver wires.  Is that normal?  
  
  Thanks to everyone for your help.  I read all articles you put up links to 
and find them very interesting and informative.
