Thank you Mike..I understand...and to be sure I remember..I copied this post out. I do have a question about CS. Recently when I use it..ingest it...or rinse with it...I find the taste to be really ...ummm...I don't know how to explain it...very metally I guess is the closest I can come to discribing it. Usually there is a faint taste but this is overpowering and is very off putting..I am reluctant to use the CS now. I wonder if this is from the CS I am brewing or something in my system is creating this... Any ideas on this? V.

I am still happy to learn about CS....V. Here's what it says in the list rules under Permitted Topics at the group web site (www.silverlist.org): ### Permitted Topics Any Colloidal Silver related topic or question may be raised and discussed until it is obviously exhausted. Any alternative health- related question may be asked, and answers may be given regardless of whether they are related to Colloidal Silver or not. HOWEVER... Alternative health related topics NOT related to Colloidal Silver will be ended or taken off list as soon as basic information is given and important resources identified. I've provided the Off Topic List for this purpose. Brief heads-up messages about legislation, regulation, or politics of relevence to Colloidal Silver or important alternative health issues may be posted occasionally, with follow-up to be taken off list. A modest amount of humor, chit-chat, friendly banter and encouragement is condoned, and is indeed important for the well-being of the list. Such threads should be brief, seldom more than a small handful of messages. Such off topic "noise" must be allowed in order to foster the friendly, welcoming environment we seek. It is, however a privilege. Please do not abuse it. ### Note the second sentence! Any sort of alt-health questions are okay. The second paragraph asks that OT subjects be treated briefly. In practice, the group has been enjoying relatively unregulated discussions for quite a while, and this will likely continue most of the time. I *will* rein things in when the volume gets too high. Then you'll see me ask that specific threads be ended, or give a general announcement like the other day, or encourage the use of our Off Topic List as a venue. The main thing is that questions about CS get answered and people get all the help they need. So, Virginia, in your case I'd suggest that you ask all your questions, one or two at a time, for as long as it takes. It won't overload things, and it'll let you mine the brain trust and get the answers that you need. If it gets too busy on the list, back off until things quiet down a bit. Wash, rinse, repeat! <grin> When volume on most days is under a couple of dozen posts, and there are at least some threads on CS, I'm not going to begrudge other subjects being explored. The downside of a high volume of OT threads is that people coming here for information on CS will become swamped or frustrated by the low signal to noise ratio. Often, new people are ill themselves, caring for loved ones, or otherwise under stress. They don't have the time or energy to deal with so much traffic. So, as long as we keep that in mind and take care to attend to the needs of newcomers and others with topic-related questions -- relax and enjoy the privelege of a group that happens to have a good mix of abilities and temperament right now.
