I can try to answer this. Though I don't recall ever asking directly, exercising is of interest to me. Firstly, it is a common interest. I want a partner who enjoys hiking. For someone else that may be biking or swimming. Secondly, a partner who works at looking good is attractive. Most women pay lots of attention to hair, makeup, clothes, shoes :-) To me, it is even more attractive if a woman looks good wearing plain clothes with little or no makeup. Finally, there are emotional and psychological advantages to exercising. It is a good way to clear your head. Jogging is a good time for self reflection and prayer. And pushing your self and showing commitment are attractive traits.
I hope that helps though I can not speak for every guy.
But why put anything about beauty in the first place?

Being a Geek for a living, I'd be happy to answer any specific questions.
Being also a PC "hobbyist", I am appalled at the prices of the fairly small Raymarine-style of plotter/radar displays. I am quite aware that even complex nav programs aren't particularly taxing computationally, and so I've resolved to buy old Panasonic Toughbooks of the PIII/early P4 variety...they are readily available from large utilities, mining companies and even the military as they go "off lease".
If you get, say, five of these laptops and ghost all five drives, and then hook in GPS and radar input, an IR mouse and a second LCD screen on an armature that swings into the companionway safe under the dodger, you can have everything you need for about $2,500, plus the backup of an essentially "throw-away" or "cannabalize for spares" laptops. A bonus is that Toughbooks are weather-proof enough to take in a dinghy to shore to check e-mail, etc. at an Internet cafe/library, but are uncool and aged enough to not be particularly attractive to thieves.
My own situation is somewhat special as I have a very dry pilothouse, and so can just strap a laptop in front of the nav station. Charging via a DC/DC Targus socket charger is straightforward, as is the wiring to the "black boxes".
An alternative is the relatively unknown mini-ITX motherboard format, a.k.a. "the car computer". Rather than recommend a builder, I'll give the Wiki link and leave it to the interested to pursue:
This format (a PC the size of a slender hard cover book) could be stashed anywhere onboard that was dry and reasonably well-ventilated, and could run all nav, comms and systems data to various compact LCD screens as needed. You could even use a cheap switchbox and some USB sockets to plug in a mouse or keyboard at various spots near a screen, or use the aforementioned Bluetooth, IR or networked (Cat 5 or 6) connections.
In sum, I don't know why anyone would have a proprietary "marine" display aboard a boat when you could use a multitude of cheaper, more flexible, more powerful and more portable alternatives. You could put a GPS USB antenna and a Toughbook in your crash box and plot drift and set in your liferaft!
OK, that was a little over-enthusiastic, perhaps...

text: Hi, Ive been borrowing my friends Traxxas slash 2WD brushed motor truck and I have been loving it. I dont know much about RC trucks at all but I really want to buy one now. I know they cost a lot of money so I want to make sure I buy the right one for me so I have a few questions. I know you can buy a 2WD or 4WD truck. Ive been interested in the 4WD one but hear they break more and since I dont know anything about fixing them I think maybe that isn't a good idea. Although his brushed motor is really fast I think the brushless would be awesome but wonder if it will be to much for someone just learning. I have seen on youtube that a lot of the 2WD brushless motor trucks will pop a wheely and flip. I think if you buy the right shocks that will help but Im not sure if that will completely fix that problem. Someone said this doesn't happen as much with the 4WD trucks and that you can control the 4WD trucks in the air better when jumping by pitching it with the throttle. I am only planning on buying one truck and dont want to start with one and buy another one a couple years down the road. They cost to much for that. Any info at all that anyone can give me on this topic would be awesome! I will be happy to take any advise that will help me make my decision. Thanks a lot to anyone that can help me. Justin

[0001] This invention relates to the orthopedic field of vertebroplasty and to the apparatus and process for injecting biological material into the cancellous portion of bones for treatment and support.
[0002] Vertebroplasty was introduced to the medical arts as a percutaneous technique for repairing spinal compression fractures by injecting bone cement into the vertebral body. However, the technique quickly expanded to osteoporotic individuals that had been treated with narcotics and immobilization. The bone cement is used to shore up the collapsing vertebrae for support which relieves the pain associated with undue pressure on the nerves.
[0003] Radiologists and surgeons are involved in the procedure since the process is monitored by fluoroscopy and has the potential for leakage of the cement into the local blood stream. Some of the critical parameters of the procedure involve the mixing of the cement to an appropriate viscosity, ensuring that the cement is radio-dense for viewing, properly placing the injector inside the cancellous portion of a vertebra, and rigorously controlling injection pressure and quantity. See "Vertebroplasty: Dangerous Learning Curve," START-UP, June 2001.
[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 6,273,916 to Murphy describes vertebroplasty, generally, as performed on a prepped and draped prone patient who has been injected with a local anaesthetic. A skin incision is made over the selected vertebrae and a needle is inserted in a posterior approach to engage the vertebral body. A suitable cement is prepared using a contrast medium, such as barium powder, mixed with methylmethacrylate powder, and a monomer liquid. The cement (PMMA) becomes unworkable within 4 to 11 minutes from mixing.
[0005] Cement is injected into the vertebrae, while visualized by lateral and anterior-posterior X-ray projection fluoroscopy imaging. The injection is halted if the cement starts to extend into unwanted locations, such as the disc space or towards the posterior quarter of the vertebral body where the risk of epidural venous filling and spinal cord compression is greatest. If no unwanted migration is detected, the injection continues until the vertebrae is adequately filled. The amount of cement injected may vary considerably, e.g. from 4 to 36 cc.
[0006] Reiley et al, U.S. Pat. No. 6,048,346, teach a posterior-lateral approach for accessing the interior of the vertebrae for injecting bone cement or treatment substances or a combination of both. The bone cement is injected using a caulking gun-like device with a ram rod in the barrel.
[0007] Goldenberg et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,634,473, and Goldenberg, U.S. Pat. No. 5,843,001, both teach a removable handle for biopsy needles used for bone biopsy.
[0008] What is needed in the art is a simple apparatus having several components operated by the same handle to perform biopsy and inject high viscosity cement or other biological material or a combination of both in precisely measured quantities.
[0009] Accordingly, it is an objective of the instant invention to teach a kit for biopsy and injection of biological materials having a guide needle, cannulas, several different cannula tips, a plunger, a clearing tool, a connector and a universal tool.
[0010] It is a further objective of the instant invention to teach a kit for biopsy and injection of biological materials which is sized to deliver a precise amount of biological material.
[0011] It is another objective to teach a kit with several interchangeable tips to be fitted on the leading end of the cannula for different penetrations of the bone.
[0012] It is yet another objective of the instant invention to teach a procedure for delivery of a biological material at high viscosity and low pressure.
[0013] It is a still further objective of the invention to teach a kit for orthopedic use to perform bone biopsy and to deliver a biological material to the cancellous portion of bone.
[0014] Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.

[0023]FIG. 9 is a perspective of the handle with the needle and plunger engaged;
[0024]FIG. 10 is a perspective of the handle with the docking needle engaged;
[0025]FIG. 11 is a perspective of a modification of the delivery cannula tip;
[0026]FIG. 12 is a perspective of another modification of the delivery cannula tip; and
[0027]FIG. 13 is a perspective of another modification of the delivery cannula tip.
[0028] The orthopedic system of this invention is in the form of a kit which includes a docking needle 10 with an elongated shaft 11, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, having an insertion point 12 for penetration through the cutaneous layer of a patient. The point 12 passes through the skin, muscle and the hard shell of a bone into the softer cancellous bone material. The point 12 forms a tapered end portion with the base of the taper 13 smoothly merging into the shaft 11.
[0029] The needle is of a size and material to withstand the compression required for insertion without deformation. The needle may be made of stainless steel, other metals, or suitable polymers. Normally, the insertion is performed manually by axial pressure at the trailing end 14 of the needle to include striking the needle with a surgical hammer. The tool or handle 50, shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10 is designed to fit on the trailing end 14 of the needle for translating the manual axial pressure to the needle 10.
[0030] Preferably, in vertebroplasty, the needle 10 is inserted on a posterior-lateral tract, using X-ray fluoroscopy, to dock in a vertebrae anteriorly of the lateral process. Other approaches may be chosen by the surgeon. Regardless, of the orthopedic surgical procedure involved, the docked needle serves as a guide for the subsequent insertion of the cannulas of the system. Of course, in some applications, the needle and cannula may be inserted simultaneously.
[0031] In operation, a cannula is telescoped over the docking needle 10 to provide a pathway for removal or delivery of material from the bone. The surgeon removes the handle 50 from the trailing end of the docking needle and connects the handle with the trailing end of the cannula. The leading end of the cannula is then placed over the trailing end of the needle. Axial pressure is applied to the cannula to slide the cannula along the needle to the desired location. Using fluoroscopy, the surgeon telescopes the cannula over the docking needle until the leading end of cannula and the leading end of the docking needle are flush or superimposed within the bone site thereby designating proper placement of the delivery cannula.
[0032]FIGS. 1 and 2 show a delivery cannula 15 telescoped over the docking needle. The leading end 16 of the cannula may be tapered to form a smooth transition from the needle point to the cannula shaft 17. In one embodiment, the delivery cannula is included in a kit without an attached leading end. The leading end 16 is selected and placed on the shaft to provide a range of choices to the surgeon. The trailing end 18 of the cannula has a connector 80 either removably affixed by internal threads 82, in the nature of a Leur-type fitting, or permanently connected to the shaft. The connector 80 has external planar surfaces 81 which provide a gripping surface for manipulating the cannula. In one embodiment, the connector has a hex-nut outer surface to prevent rotation within handle 50 although other configurations are a matter of choice. The connector 80 has a reduced diameter portion 83 between a shoulder 84 and a flange 85 to prevent longitudinal movement within the handle 50.
[0033] Once the cannula is telescoped over the needle to the desired location within the bone, the handle is removed from the trailing end of the cannula and re-attached to the trailing end of the needle which extends beyond the trailing end of the cannula. Axial force is then applied in the opposite direction to remove the needle from the bone and the cannula. After the needle has been removed, the cannula bore 19 is open for either removing material for biopsy or for dispensing a biological material for treatment.
[0034]FIG. 6 shows a biopsy cannula 20 with a leading end having serrations 21. Of course, the leading end 16 of the delivery cannula 15 may be modified to enhance the ability to cut through bone, also, as shown in FIGS. 11-13. Once the biopsy cannula 20 has been manipulated either rotationally or longitudinally or both by the handle 50 engaged with the connector 80, the handle is used to withdraw the cannula from the patient's body. A clearing tool 22, shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, is inserted into the bore 23. The clearing tool 22 is advanced through the bore to push the tissue sample from the cannula.
[0035] If a biopsy is not required or after removal of the biopsy cannula, a delivery cannula 15 is telescoped over the docking needle, as described above. The delivery cannula is provided with a connector 80 at its trailing end. The longitudinal dimension of the connector is such that it fits within a recess 61 in the handle 50.
[0036] The tool or handle 50, illustrated in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, is made from surgical stainless steel or other magnetizable or non-magnetizable metals, or, preferably, molded from a high impact polymer, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, NYLON or similar compositions capable of withstanding repeated sterilizations. The handle is flexible and, preferably, resilient. The handle has a top surface 51, a bottom surface 52 and side walls defining a periphery 53. A slit 54 extends through the side walls from the periphery toward the center portion 60. The slit has opposing jaws 55 and 56 which pivot about the center portion. The jaws 55 and 56 each have a bore 63 and 64, respectively, oriented in the same plane in which each jaw pivots.
[0037] Another slit 57 extends through the side walls from the periphery toward the center portion. Slit 57 has opposing jaws 58 and 59 which pivot about the center portion 60. The jaws 58 and 59 each have a flange for engaging the reduced diameter portion of the connector 80.
[0038] By applying pressure on the opposing pairs of jaws of each slit, the jaws may approach with each other. When pressure is released, the respective pairs of jaws resiliently move away from each other. As illustrated, the slits are arranged to oppose each other.
[0039] A blind bore 62 is formed in the periphery of the handle for the purpose of engaging the trailing end of the docking needle. The shaft of the blind bore 62 is shaped to cooperate with the trailing end of the needle to provide rotation of the needle upon rotation of the handle. The surgeon manually grips the handle and applies longitudinal and/or rotational force through the handle to the needle to penetrate the soft tissue and bone of the patient. The handle may also provide a striking plate for receiving blows from a surgical hammer for driving the needle into the bone. Once the needle is properly docked in the bone, the handle is removed from the needle.
[0040] Blind bore 65 is of suitable size to accommodate the trailing end of the cannula fitted with a connector 80. As shown in FIG. 8, the blind bore 65 has a larger diameter terminating with a shoulder 66 which will engage and stop the connector 80. A smaller diameter portion 67 of the bore continues above the shoulder to allow the trailing end of the docking needle to extend beyond the trailing end of the connector 80. Because the cannula is somewhat larger than the docking needle, the tip of the cannula may be sharpened to cut through the bone. A surgical hammer may be used to drive the delivery cannula, at least, through the hard outer shell of the bone. Once the cannula is located in the cancellous portion of the bone, the cannula may be removed from the blind bore 65.
[0041] The cannula with an attached connector 80 may then placed in the slit 57, of the handle, with the connector 80 in recess 61. The connector 80 is engaged with the jaws 58 and 59 to prevent longitudinal or rotational movement of the cannula within the handle. The surgeon telescopes the leading end of the cannula over the trailing end of the needle and again applies longitudinal force through the handle to the cannula to force the cannula through soft tissue and into the bone. As the cannula approaches the proper position in the bone, the trailing end 14 of the telescoped docking needle emerges from the trailing end of the cannula. When the trailing end of the needle 14 is level with the top surface 51 of the handle, the leading end 16 of the cannula is flush with the end of the needle. The top surface 51 of the handle and the trailing end 14 of the needle serve as a visual and tactile gauge, in the surgeon's hand, for properly placing the leading end of the cannula in the bone.
[0042] The handle 50 is then removed from the cannula and the jaws of slit 54 are pivoted to place the bores 63 and 64 in parallel. The trailing end of the needle is then inserted through bores 63 and 64. The pivoting pressure on jaws 55 and 56 is then released causing the bores to resiliently intersect engaging the shaft of the needle, as shown in FIG. 8. Of course, the tool 50 may operate in reverse, with the pivoting pressure causing the jaws to close, in another embodiment. The needle is then removed from the cannula by use of the handle 50. After the needle is removed from the cannula the jaws are pivoted to release the shaft of the needle and free the handle.
[0043] In FIGS. 11, 12, and 13, alternate removable tips 16A, 16B and 16C are shown. The kit may be supplied with several interchangeable tips to provide the surgeon with flexibility in dealing with anomalies of the bones or individual preference. Also, if a larger diameter delivery cannula is needed for the proper amount of biological substance, a relatively smaller tip can be used to penetrate the bone. In FIG. 11, the delivery cannula 15 has a removable tip 91 with a necked down portion 92 and a smaller leading end portion 93 that penetrates the hard outer shell of the bone.
[0044]FIG. 12 shows another tip 16B that is tapered to a leading end 94 with serrations 95 which may be necessary to cut through the dense bone.
[0045]FIG. 13 illustrates another tip 16C which has a tapered leading end and a closed point 98. The tapered tip has screw threads 96 for auguring into bone. The delivery port 97 is on the lateral aspect of the leading end.
[0046] Other replaceable tips 16 may have other shapes or a variety of cannulas may be furnished with permanent tips.
[0047] The delivery cannula is now positioned to transmit the biological material to the bone. In general, the biological substance may be either structural or a treating agent or a combination of both.
[0048] For example, the material may be selected from such groups of substances as BMP, bone morphogenic proteins, DBM, demineralized bone matrix, BOTOX and other viral vectors, any bone marrow aspirate, platelet rich plasma, composite ceramic hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, glass resin mixtures, resorbable highly purified polylacttides/polylactides-coglycolides and others. The treating agent may include hormonal, antibiotic, anti-cancer, or growth factor substances, among others. In vertebroplasty, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is the customary bone cement though other compounds may be used.
[0049] Regardless of the chemical make-up of the biological substance, this system preferably uses a high viscosity biological material delivered through the cannula at a low pressure. To accomplish this objective, after the delivery cannula is properly placed in the bone, it is filled with a biological material having a viscosity allowing it to flow into the cannula. The viscosity of some of the materials continues to increase within the cannula to reach a consistency acceptable to the surgeon. Other materials may be ready for use, when loaded in the cannula.
[0050] When the material is sufficiently stiff, the surgeon inserts a plunger 24 into the cannula 15 to express the biological substance into the cancellous portion of the bone. The plunger 24 is fitted with a connector 80 and manipulated by handle 50. As shown in FIG. 3, both the plunger 24 and the cannula 15 are telescoped together and the plunger is sized to substantially co-terminate with the leading end of the delivery cannula when both the connectors 80 are in contact. The diameter of the plunger is slightly less than the diameter of the cannula to provide a vent for the system. The viscosity of the biological material will be such that the entire amount of the material will be expressed from the cannula. In this instance, the amount of biological material delivered is precisely measured to be the corresponding volume of the delivery cannula, for example, 4 cc.
[0051] Of course, the amount of biological material may be adjusted to a particular patient. This is accomplished through the continued fluoroscopic observance of the procedure. If more material is necessary in a particular procedure, the syringe used to load the delivery cannula may be utilized to pre-load the bone cavity before the plunger is inserted into the delivery cannula.
[0052] When the appropriate amount of biological material has been injected into the bone, the handle 50 is used to rotate and withdraw the plunger 24. Once the biological substance has begun to solidify, the handle is placed on the delivery cannula and twisted to rotate the cannula thereby separating the cannula from the substance. The cannula is subsequently withdrawn from the bone.
[0053] It is to be understood that while a certain form of the invention is illustrated, it is not to be limited to the specific form or arrangement of parts herein described and shown. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown and described in the specification and drawings.

Van Sant insists his film's not about Cobain, and its mid-distance shots do seem to rather document a syndromea detached druggy panic that a French review translated sketchily by the Internet happens to capture perfectly, rendering Blake not as "he" but as "it" ("It attempts to avoid others," "It seeks a hearth"). Pitt agrees: "I didn't realize until after I saw the film that in making it not about Kurt, Gus allows the audience to see a human in that situation, as opposed to this guy that we all love." This Nirvana fan says he always felt Van Sant was best to tackle the Cobain myth. "I thought he would understand how to do it. To think about what the person would want."
It was difficult, though, to play Cobain without really playing him. "I was confused, thinking, What can I do? And what can't I do?" One thing he does a lot in Days is mutter. He explains, "I myself, I will talk to myself sometimes, have a conversation in my head and then just answer it. I thought if I was vague enough, it could apply to a lot of things." In Days, Blake's incoherence heightens tensions between him and skittish pals loafing in the doomed star's dilapidated mansion. It's like the dark side of HBO's Entourage. But, says Pitt, "I don't really judge these people. You take someone from the working class. They're not superstars. If anything they're freaks. Then suddenly in a few months, you have all this interest. For someone like that, the initial reaction is keep people around that you knew before. But those people don't know how to deal with it either." Pitt continues, "I have a lot of friends whoI mean, someone can have people around that they consider equals but there's not that same attention."
To work up Blake, Pitt talked to Thurston Moore, whom he'd met once when, at 16, he saw his musical idol on a Manhattan street and shook his hand. "I based a lot of the character on things Thurston and Kim [Gordon] said about that time." In Days, Pitt plays two songs, one an impromptu jam, the other his own Cobain-esque "Death to Birth." About the latter, he had reservations. "I thought it should be improvised. I did six or seven takes, about things like macaroni and cheese. Then Gus said, 'Play your song.' I was reluctant." He still seems ambivalent, sighing, "I mean, it's Gus Van Sant and Thurston Moore, soyou know?"

Red-tailed Hawk - One of Nature's Top Predators
November 05, 2013
Red-tailed hawks are top predators. In the words of author Pete Dunne, "...anything readily available and catchable is an odds-on favorite to become prey. Any furred, feathered, or scaled creature that is smaller than a groundhog and turns its back on a meal-minded red-tailed hawk might safely be said to be courting a shortcut toward the cosmic." Dunne's poetic description does not exaggerate.
Diversity at a Different Elevation
August 16, 2013
When you hear the word "Yosemite," you may immediately think of Half Dome, El Capitan, wildflowers in Tuolumne Meadows, and blue alpine lakes. But on the western side of the park, roughly 2,000 feet in elevation below the towering El Capitan of Yosemite Valley, lies El Portal, home to park administration buildings, and a plethora of plants well suited to a dry, and hot life.
The World's a Stage, and it's Showtime for a Flower

Even though the dogwood flowers have faded away by now, there are plenty more plants ready to continue the show as they begin to bloom throughout the park. A drive along the Tioga Road reveals more than the epic scenery of the high country.

Lloyd from Charlotte. Could you please tell me which CS generator you use? Does it produce the small particles? Thanks for your help and all on EC. landrov101(at)aol.com
Replied by Lloyd
Charlotte, Nc
12/20/2012I got my latest generator from googling "economical colloidal silver" and a company comes up that produces good and affordable units.
I also use the "fast" method for making the solution. First I heat 2 cups of purified water and add 15 grains of salt and that gives conductivity to the solution and in five minutes the two cups is saturated with a milky white content. I dilute repeatedly until the liquid is as clear to the naked eye as pure water. You should not be able to either see or taste the silver. After all, we are getting the solution to a mere 100 atoms of silver to a MILLION molecules of H20. The water is heated to about 90 degrees, by the way, before inserting the silver rods.
Now there is another set of silver makers who want to use a "slow" method and they refuse to use any grains of salt in their water. This method takes about 30 minutes to produce the siver solution and it is not a milky white.
I like my fast method because I've had such fantastic success with it over nearly two decades. I consume it daily... About a tablespoon at night. I have not turned blue. I knock out sinus infections in seconds whereas in my youth sinus infections would inevitebly turn into a chest cold. I just don't get sick. For a lower track infection I opt to ACV in water and that seems to work rapitly to knock out those infections.
You asked which method makes the smaller "paricles" and I assume the slow would do that better but on what authority... What double blind do we have to demonstrate that the "larger" particles are less effective than the small ones, if indeed there is a big difference in size. As I say, I have had such success over the years with the array of virus, bacteria and even fungal issues that I don't see the advantage of changing over to another method.
In fact, I have a funny story. Once a pr, ovider convinced me to try a super small particle, the manufacturer asserted it was super small, to my sinus. In a few days however I sensed the onset of an infection even though I was taking the "small" and supposedly more effective CS. I doubled up on the spray into the sinues but it did not kill the infection, and by the next day the infection was getting out of control. I went back to my old stand by silver solution and in one "sniff" knocked out the infection. I threw away the "good" "little" silver.Replied by Lloyd

07/01/2014To Norma,
Re ... recommendation for a Colloidal Silver generator.
Some time ago you asked me what CS generator I'd recommend and I recommended you google "economical colloidal silver generator" and a company by that name would come up.
Unfortunately I have to retract that recommendation. The generator I got from that company quickly corroded because the box the batteries are stored in are supposed to be directly on top of the water that the silver rods go into. ANY water that gets into the negative pole insert will corrode and cause the unit to cease functioning. I can't clean it. I tried another one from the same company and that one that came was faulty and so two weeks ago sent it back. Still no replacement.
From now on, I'll only use a generator that has wires with alligator clips that attach to the silver and NOT a box with batteries that sits directly above the water.
DON'T get anything made by "economical colloidal silver generator" or any company that uses a "box above water" system.Posted by Laker (Brampton, Ontario, Canada) on 10/11/2012
Hi Ted I have read a lot and currently use colloidal silver including an obscure reference to adding a drop or 2 of H2o2 to increase its effectiveness and I managed to find the odd bit of info on Coloidal Copper I wondered if you knew on possible bennefits side effects and theoretical safe amount of ingesting it would be. Also I wondered if you have heard of coloidal zinc and coloidal magnesium I am thinking they may be a decent way to absorb the minerals from the metal even if only sublingualy and if so what other metals would be good as coloids? Also wondered what your thoughts were on ORMUS also spelled ORMES or Monatomic Elements?Replied by Laker

10/15/2012Hi and thanks for the info... I have read quite a bit on ORMUS and have heard and read some of David Wolfe's opinions on things and though some things make sense to me I don't agree with a lot of what he says. But I thank you for the input none the less.
Also my non medical opinion on CS is make your own, it's cheaper easy and you then know whats in it!! Some places use salt as a catalyst to make the distilled water more conductive. This Is A No No! As the silver particle will bind to the salt and form silver chloride which is what would cause Agyria it would also create large particles which are also unwanted. Never add anything to the water and always use distilled in a steril glass container which has also been rinsed with distilled.Posted by Mark (Reno, Nevada Usa) on 01/02/2012
I want to preface my comments by saying this:
If you are here, you are also like me, and you are looking for a remedy and an alternative to what's available to you now. I starting researching remedies on the internet about 2 weeks ago, after extensive "surfing" (I can't call it research because I really don't know the motive behind what people post online... There's a lot of misinformation out there) Collectively, I decided that CS might be worth giving a try, I had never heard of it prior to this, I purchased it a few days later at a local co-op for $37. The product that I'm using is Sovereign Silver 10ppm. (Since I bought it I found a lab that test all different kinds of CS and this one ranks mid-pack although there are much better options out there. Next I'm buying Mesosilver) In the past when I've been to the doctor, I've felt that they weren't very helpful and it's very expensive. So I started looking for something better.
I began using CS about 8 days ago now. I have a variety of symptoms, and my illness goes unknown dues to lack of financial resources/health insurance. I started using CS in order to (hopefully) cure some/all of my ailments before going to see a "medical professional" I've been using it to treat my eyes which look red and dry most of the time, a drop in both eyes a handful of times since purchased, and there does seem to be some improvement... Both eyes feel markedly better and they appear to be clearer overall. I have been taking about 2 oz a day orally as well, I have been suffering from dry mouth and a flemy cough, now my mouth feels moist throughout the day and my throat began clearing out within a day. Also, I feel like I have more energy, although I think I may feel more energetic because CS appears to be helping.
Since I've just started taking it, I don't have a lot of information to give you, but it does seem to be helping and it started almost immediately. Good Luck and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.Replied by Timh

01/03/2012Mark, thanks for the positive C.S. Post. I have had good results w/ C.S. As have many others for internal or/and external infections. It's a proven natural antibiotic, BUT don't throw all your hope & money on it, as the body is in need of many other nutrients to maintain health & wellness. Make sure you take a very good whole food multivitamin/mineral supplement so as to provide nutrition for your immune system. A dash of Sea Salt (provides many minerals lacking in diet) in a small cup of water 2 daily has been helping me lately.

So I wrote on here that I was confused about colloidal silver and the different colors and ppm. I will have to say a big NO to the clear 10ppm sovereign brand. Everybody in my house was taking high dosages of this and everybody came down and got sick. We ended up having to go to medical doctor. So NO for sure on clear 10ppm at least for us.Posted by Connie (Manitowoc, Wisconsin) on 08/13/2009
Is this minty flavor/scent typical of silver solutions? The product claims to contain NO other ingredients than are listed on the label. And silver and deionized water are the ingredients listed. I'm trying to find the product's Website.... get back to you on it.Posted by Reader (North America) on 02/20/2009
I know this isn't as helpful as offering a remedy, but you seem to advocate its use. While silver's a great antibiotic, it's also a metal and something we don't flush back out of our systems very easily; it will accumulate, like lead, mercury and several other metals, within our tissues. The reason we don't have silver warnings written all over everything is it's rare and hard enough that it doesn't typically enter the system in such concentrations as to be damaging; however, to use it internally, or to use it on membranous tissues, makes it possible for it to concentrate to such a degree as to do more harm than help. Thus I wouldn't advocate the use of colloidal silver except in topical conditions, such as a surface skin infection, away from eyes, nose, mouth and any similar mucus membranes.
Remember, just because something occurs in nature doesn't mean it can't be bad for you. The trick is finding what would occur in a human body in nature, and with metals that usually means exceedingly small amounts.Replied by Connie

08/10/2009A few days ago I started taking a silver solution and withing hours my chronic sore throat began to feel much better. The discomfort is almost gone. I also feel calmer and more sure of myself. Have less mental fog. Correct me if I'm wrong, aren't zinc, copper, magnesium, and chromium also metals that our bodies need? We know that there are ways of removing heavy metals from our systems; there must be a way to remove unnecessary silver as well.Replied by Anna
Charleston, Sc
06/21/2010I'm going to have to agree with Connie here- there are many metals that our bodies actually need. Silver has been used for a very long time in the pharmaceutical world until less expensive (more profitable) alternatives were concocted in a laboratory by Big Pharma. Iron is a naturally occuring metal, yet if we do not have enough iron in our bodies, we are unable to make hemoglobin, an extremely important oxygen transporter in red blood cells. While some metals are certainly important to avoid in our bodies (heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc.), there are certain others that are required and still others that are simply beneficial under certain circumstances. It is best to do one's homework and see what works for you and your body...Replied by Aeri

06/08/2011Since reading the posts on this site, I have a few comments to make.
First, there are differences in the type of Silver you buy/make; Colloidial, Ionic. Or Salts. The differences are how small the silver particles are. In the case of the discoloration of skin, it is the mass amounts of salts that are taken over long periods of time. Me personally, am quite picky about supplements that I use and I do extensive research before buying. I have had much success using Ionic Silver.
Second, understand that silver is anti-bacterial and each person has a different reaction to how the silver works throughout the body. Many people may experience what's called a Herxheimer reaction. This occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body as bacteria die. Which in turn means you may feel a whole lot worse before you get better.
Third, people may have concerns about silver being a metal and harming the body. Again, silver used in moderation is key. Also, if people are that concerned about metal poisoning, then begin to eliminate all aluminum and copper pots, pop/soda and food cans, drinking tap water, eating all processed foods, etc... Because people are ingesting toxic amounts of metals and poisons on a daily basis.
Trust me, we need small amounts of these metals for our bodies to function and adding Colloidial or Ionic Silver is an added benefit. The only advice I have is to do some research and use discernment from where you buy from. Good luck and many blessings for health and well-being!Replied by Jennywren

03/10/2012I would also like to add the colloidal silver is highly alkaline, which is what our body needs to maintain health. Much of the food we ingest these days makes for an acidic body, which is where bacteria, viruses and diseases flourish, and where CS can come in as a second line of defence. In addition, CS is not stored in the body but excreted through the kidneys and bowels. Moderation, too, is key.
My family has been using a commercially-bought colloidal silver from the health food store (15ppm) for six months now and so far it has cured flu, conjunctivits, asthma, bronchitis, sore throats, hayfever, food poisoning and gastro. It has been sprayed, dropped in eyes and ears and down throats, nebulised and ingested. We are still rosy-cheeked and healthy!Replied by Sandy

05/31/2013Sandy from Temecula, Ca, You can buy Colloidal Silver (CS) from health food stores. I know it's probably a little late, but for a cough you can try gargling 10ml for around 1-3 minutes then spitting it out, two or three times a day. Or, if it's down in your lungs, I suggest buying a nebuliser machine from the chemist, pouring 5ml of CS into the nebulising chamber and nebulising for 5 minutes, 2-3 times per day. This is what has worked for me!Replied by Dave
Fountain Inn, Sc
06/01/2013If infection is in lungs by all means use the nebuliser... And inhale DEEPLY again and again for at least three minutes. Do this two to three times daily for at least three days. May take longer depending on type of infection and how long it has invaded the respiratory system before starting the treatment. The colloidal silver has stopped a lung infection at least five times in the past six years for me personally.Replied by Citygirl27

06/30/2014Kim, I'm not sure about getting rid of the warts permanently but they can be treated when active. Try this - each time after using the toilet, apply either colloidal silver or apple cider vinegar to a cotton wool ball and hold to the affected area for around a minute or so. With the apple cider vinegar it will most likely sting, but from experience I've found this one is faster-acting than colloidal silver. It should take 3-4 days to start to clear up. And don't hate yourself honey, it's a very common ailment. xReplied by Dave

07/01/2014Hello Kim;
Colloidal Silver can kill viruses and fungal infections.

07/02/2014Dear Jennywren from Perth, The BHT [ buylated hydroxytoluene ] treatment is at least worth a try. It works amazingly well for some people for genital warts caused by HPV. Now there are many variants of HPV so there is no guarantee this will work. But if it does work it works very well and fast. You should know in one month if it is working because those warts will be gone.
Now the BHT treatment does NOT work well if used along with other treatments or supplements.
For people who weigh 130 pounds or more the treatment is: Two separate doses of 250mg of BHT per day with water only and on an empty stomach. One dose in the morning and one dose at night = 500mg of BHT per day. For 35 dollars US you can buy 500 250mg capsules of BHT here:
If you choose to give this treatment a try please report your results here at the EARTH CLINIC. Again, you should know in one month if the treatment is working or not. There should be dramatic improvement if the BHT treatment is working....Oscar

[YEA] Colloidal Silver got rid of my genital warts (well the physical warts that where on my vagina anyway, not sure about the actual virus) and I haven't seen them come back since. When I got the warts, I didn't know what they were and went to my doctors who confirmed that it was GW and referred me to the Genito-Urinary clinic. They prescribed me Aldara 0. 95% cream which damaged the healthy skin around the warts and made it incredibly sore and even open and weeping slightly in places. Couldn't walk. Next, I had them scraped off at the clinic, they applied something caustic and black to seal the wounds I think. The warts came back almost immediately. A friend recommended colloidal silver for another problem I had at the time. I researched it, and realised it could be used for a wide range of complaints. I bought some, applied topically to the warts and now they are gone and have been for a year and a half. I wanted to share this, it was so easy and stress free and I know how down warts can make you feel. And the doctors treatments can make you feel even worse! Thanks for this site, it's amazing. I have a deep distrust of doctors and pharmaceuticals, so the advice on here is perfect.

05/07/2012I WAS CURED OF FULL BLOWN AIDS! I can prove it, I was diagnosed with AIDS 15 years ago, from 1998 to 2007 I suffered so bad I have been hospitalized so many times and was under the care of six doctors of different practices but in early of 2007 my life changed drastically, my goal was to research and learn everything I possibly could about colloidal silver and soon after I started making and taking it daily and in late of 2007 I was able to increase my cd4 count from just 9 to 600 and my viral load to Undetectable levels in a short time. I was able to make a super high grade colloidal silver which changed my life forever, I remain Undetectable even today 2012. At a cd4 count of just 9 I had full blown AIDS and nearly died but most interesting throughout those 10 years I was taking 74 pills every single day but all that ended in 2007 I haven't taken a single pill in over 6 long years.
I understand that this might sound hard to believe but that's what the pharmaceutical cartels and FDA programed you and doctors to believe it's there job to convince you that the possible is impossible but don't believe a word of it, my story is very real in fact I haven't been this healthy in a very long time and if my story wasn't true I wouldn't be here today - colloidal silver can do more than were lead to believe and the sick needs to know about it!

05/09/2012Hi Dale, I completely believe you. I tested positive 5 years ago (CD4 350 and VL 70k back then) but for various reasons declined any stardard chemo treatments (doctors hate me for that). Unlike you I have never been sick though (they hate me even more for being clinically healthy).
It's been such a journey but I'm so thankful this happened to me because I learned so much about my own health and the healthcare disaster we see in general. Because of sites like this and proper habits I haven't even had a cold this whole time. I'm healthier than most people I know so I see no point in fixing something that is not broken.
There are many ways to treat AIDS but unfortunately the industry brainwashes people into being afraid and immediately start life-long medication that will develop AIDS-like symptoms in the long run (according to their own manufacturers!). It doesn't have to be that way, but things are starting to change.
Do you still test antibody positive? I know several people that started testing negative (apparently it happens to hep C people too if they take BHT long enough).
Good luck!

Hint google bob beck colloidal silver. I drink a lot of it and haven't turned blue. There is a big push to ban it so watch out for those who try to scare you into not using it. The pharmaceutical companies are doing their best to scare us and prevent us from using it.Replied by Lenny

05/15/2011I tried using Sovereign Silver to cure herpes. I used it for a 7 month period (Tom said that it was gone in three months). I still have herpes. I would like to know if you combine it with any other medications to get rid of it?Replied by Maryland

05/15/2011Interesting topic! So far, two people cured themselves! I gotta try this thing.
I was experimenting, actually I am still experimenting with lecithin, since I read about a guy here on earth clinic who didn't have any more outbreaks in 20 years after taking 2500mg of lecithin daily for a month. I am going to complete the 30 days in a couple days and I had a small outbreak... But I am underweight, so it might be the reason why it didn't work yet.
Colloidal silver is a bit pricey, 50 bucks for 500ml, but oh well. If the vitamin don't show results, I will try this.Replied by Buchster

06/04/2011[YEA] The brand I like the best is Natural Path Silver Wings. I typically purchase the 4 oz. Bottle of 500ppm. It's been very effective on my asthma, viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
I don't use it everyday, but only when needed. I usually take two droppersful at a time. Whenever I learn that I've been around someone who is sick (stomach virus, cold, flu, etc. ), I'll take a couple of droppersful and I haven't been sick in YEARS!!!
A friend recently had a canker sore on their tongue and in the back of their throat which was causing their gag reflex to kick in and their throat was swelling. I suggested they take 1/2 tsp of baking soda in 8 oz. of water to raise the alkalinity of their blood*, plus a couple of droppersful of colloidal silver. The next morning, their throat and tongue were clear. =)
*Keep in mind that disease and infection need an acidic environment to grow. The Standard American diet of dairy products, white flour, sugar, processed foods, etc. All promote an acidic environment. By raising the alkalinity (through baking soda or watermelon or other highly alkaline foods), you balance the ph of your blood. A body that is balanced can heal itself much quicker and easier than one tht is highly acidic.
Drink lots of water with fresh lemon juice squeezed into it, eat lots of fresh leafy green salads, drink green smoothies (ex: spinach, bananas and coconut water [or distilled water]) or green juices (ex: two large Fuji apples, two leaves of kale and squeeze in a wedge of fresh lime... YUMMMM!!! ). These are just a couple of examples. There are TONS of recipes online.
Diet is the KEY to good health!! Lots of FRESH fruits and veggies. Cooked (dead) food kills living enzymes and your body has to struggle to digest it. Raw (living) fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds contain living enzymes that feed our cells which enhances immune system and metabolism and promotes anti-aging!
I have been off Advair and Albuterol since turning to a raw food diet after having asthma for 46 years!! I am pharma-free!!

06/28/2011In February 2011, I consumed 1 and a half bottle of Coloidial Silver (50ppm), at 2 tablespoons twice daily for the virus with hope of killing the it. Since then, I have had 1 breakout that didn't last as long as in the past. I obviously still have the virus. Can someone tell me if I should take the CS longer than 1 month to cure the virus. How long would you recommend? My thought was to take the CS for one month and wait 6 months before taking any more.Replied by Debbie

06/29/2011Maybe there is not as much colloidal silver in the bottle as they say. Bob Beck (you can google him) said that someone who was selling colloidal silver actually had very little colloidal silver in the bottle.. much less than advertised).

03/12/2012Hello All, So I have been hearing a lot about colloidal silver and how it can kill the herpes virus and also that some people have shown negative testing for the virus after taking for a while. Has anyone else had success with it? Thank youReplied by Tweeter

04/28/2012Yea. Around new years and christmas I was partying it up, drinking etc, sharing bottles at parties with friends, and about a week later I got a huuuge cold sore on my lip that persisted for the next 4 months! It would not go away like a normal cold sore and I suspect it was a mild case of herpes. In the 4 months I tried hydrogen peroxide (*cure?* for angular chelitas) and abreva, an otc herpes medication that calmed it for a week, but it persisted and it still would not go away. It has effected my social life drastically as I cannot go on dates!! I started making my own colloidal silver, drank a mason jar of a low ppm mixture and the next day it was reduced by approx 50%! Amazing..... Over the last week I have been drinking more, and it has been going away. I have been drinking and applying topically.Replied by Steph

07/11/2012Hello to all, I have not written in this thread for about a year or so but I believe I may have found a way to rid the body of HSV type 1 & 2 and possibly any other virus, disease, pathogen they may come our way. I don't think I will be able to upload the entire protocol here because I'm not sure if this site will allow me to write as much as I am going to but basically in a nutshell I did a 30 day water fast combined with colloidal silver and a few other things and it's been about 2 months since and I have not had an OB since. I use to get one on the shaft of my penis every month without fail and not even that has happened.
If you or anyone you know is interested in the regimen I did, please e-mail me at ourfightforfreedom(at)yahoo.com. I will provide all the information I can on the fasting process as well as the list of supplements I used and with links where you can order them online, in case you can't find them at your local health food stores. I do have to say that if I don't get back to you right away, I apologize in advance because I am busy looking for work among other activities but I have my e-mails come to my cell phone directly so I will be sure to check and reply to everyone as quickly as possible.
Lastly, I wanted to ask everyone who tries the regimen to leave me any feedback on your results. I would like to think that this will work on everyone who tries it but I don't know because my wife and I are the only ones who have tried it thus far. So if after you complete the regimen, you could tell me if it worked for you, I will greatly appreciate it. Thank youReplied by Lenny

01/04/2015Hello All,
It has been about 3 years since my last post and I return with some updated and hopefully very useful information. I still receive e-mails on a regular basis asking about the regimen I used years ago. I believe that this information is void at this point. The reason being is because I have been doing research on the mind body connection and have come across some very interesting information. I am going to provide people with the newest information that I have been sending everyone who continue to contact me via e-mail. The first link will be to a man named David Flowers. I'm not sure if he has posted anything in these forums but the information that he provides is nothing less then miraculous. he claims that the body has the ability to completely heal itself by means of what he call "True Immunity". I'm not exactly 100% sure how he does it. He offers a retreat where he is located to teach other people how to do this. I myself have NOT seen him in person, but I have spoken to him via Facebook inbox messaging. Here is his link -
The next thing I would like to share are two books I have read that I believe EVERYONE should check out. I'm not going to go into too much details, as I do not believe I can post all of it here in this thread but the first book Your Mind Can Heal You by Frederick W. Bailes explains how the mind has the power to heal itself. it has a very spiritual approach to it but anyone, even atheist can benefit from this book.
The second book Titled You Are The Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza, touches on the same topic of mind body healing but from a more scientific approach as to WHY it happens and how it is possible. His book can be found here -
The point that I am trying to make here is that we all have the ability to heal ourselves without the help of some medicine or herbal product someone decided helps kill "herpes" "Cancer" etc. If you look online there are people who talk about curing illness that were "Incurable" through deep mediation, positive thought patterns and determination. I'm sorry I can't go into anymore details, but I hope that everyone takes this seriously and at least considers looking further into this method. The way I see it, if you've tried everything else under the sun to cure "herpes" and nothing has worked up until now, what do you really have to lose just trying to use your own mind to cure your illness?
P.S - I have also been checking into more of what "Herpes" really is. Through some more research, it seems as if this virus we call "Herpes" is not really a virus at all, but is actually a fungus, which can SOMETIMES (I need to stress this word) SOMETIMES be cured through an anti-fungal medicine called Lamisil. The only reason I am even posting this is because I have the feeling that some people will still be hell bent on using some sort of product to help heal their condition. For those of you who are absolutely desperate, I would suggest you check out this thread here -
and see if you can get a prescription for the tablets to see if they work for you. I hope this helps. feel free to contact with any questions and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you
Homemade Colloidal Silver 1 0
Approval Ratings YEA (1) 100% Posted by Jenn (Coborra, Australia) on 01/03/2015
How do you make Colloidal Silver? I remember many years ago living with a lovely vegetarian lady for quite awhile and we took, all of us, 9 of us, a spoon of this every day. Needless to say we didn't get sick but at the time I didn't appreciate the knowledge I'd been given. Nowadays I'd like to be more health-conscious at a time when I'm being forced to take antibiotics that is making my body very sick. I've been bleeding from the bowel since I was taking Cleocin, apparently a side effect, and I'm now on Ciprofloxin, which continues the trend. No, I don't have bowel cancer just an absolute aversion to taking oral antibiotics in great amounts, of up to 26,000mg per month to kill something that comes back, as soon as I stop taking the drug of choice... to be honest I don't think a lot of health professionals really know much about these things that they tell us take..I need to kill Cellulitis and the gangrene pathogen and get off these tablets that are making me sick..I don't want false promises but something that will heal me, inwardly and outwardly. Please help!Replied by 1enoykcul
01/07/2015@Jenn Hello I've read a couple books on Urine Therapy and apparently urine can cure Gangrene. Just soak a bandage and wrap gangrene area and leave then reapply as needed as I can't see how colloidal silver applied first would be much problem. I forget the names of the books. Something like "the water of life" and "you own miraculous medicine" but I'm sure there are many other books. Anyhow urine was supposed to cure gangrene without even a scar and it is highly used in skin care products and is secretly a multi hundred million dollar business putting urine into skin care products under some other name like urea or something.Replied by Kaz

02/10/2015Please look into the Ketogenic Diet, or the book Protein Power by Drs Eades, or even Somersizing, but once you cut out processed foods, sugars, white. Foods and start eating a healthy way, (not a diet but a way of life), your body can start healing itself. Please look into alkalyzing your body as Ted advises, like 1 tsp baking soda in 1/2 glass water a few times a day, replace soda pop with green tea and water, etc, eat raw veggies with every meal for the living enzymes to aid in digestion, and this will go a long way to letting your body heal itself, which it is meant to do. Good luck.Replied by Plenty M

[YEA] I'm not sure where Earth Clinic may want to put this post this but I have replied to the first post on silver and will let Earth clinic decide what to do with it!
How to make Nano particle colloidal silver at home for pennies, when using this method the final mix will produce the smallest silver particles currently known to be possible. I believe this mix will be far better and far more effective than what 99.9% of ''Experts'' sell online.
When it comes to colloidal silver by far the most important thing to consider is the size of the particles created, PPM is meaning less if all the particles are too large, for silver to be effective it needs to be small enough to enter into cells and make contact with hidden pathogens, from personal experience I can say that my earlier years of making and using colloidal silver have been hit and miss due to a lack of understanding with regards to particle size and home manufacturing, I was always led to believe that the end brew should take on a yellow or Champaign colour to it, I now know that this type of mix contains particles that are too large to be of any real benefit (compared to properly made Nano particles) the reason a finished mix takes on a colour of any description is due to the silver particles globing together to make larger particles this in turn is why you can see the colour (because the larger particles are large enough to reflect the light) proper Nano particles are so small that no light is reflected and therefore no colour is produced, just a clear potent brew, I believe that those who have previously tried silver and failed to achieve the desired effect are simply using poor quality silver (Particles too large)
So follow the simple instructions here and you will be able to make the best possible colloidal silver available and be more knowledgeable than 99.9% of the so called experts that sell coloured silver products, the use of the air blower is essential as it constantly agitates the water , it keeps it moving constantly throughout the whole process and this is what stops the silver particles from globing together thereby producing the smallest and most desired Nano particles!
- Step 1 Obtain a small fish tank air blower or similar blower along with 500-600 mm rubber pipe
- Step 2 Obtain a glass jar with a screw on lid (metal or plastic is ok) that holds around 500 -700 ml of water
- Step 3 Obtain a small mains transformer that puts out between 12 -24 v at 500ma
- Step 4 Obtain 2. 9999 pure silver rods (not. 999) about 2mm diameter x 100 -125mm long
- Step 5 Obtain a small laser light
- Step 6 Obtain 5 litres of Distilled water. (should last some time)
- Step 7 Obtain 2 small crocodile clips.
- Step 8 obtain 4 rubber grommets with 5 -6 mm centre holes
1, Solder or crimp the crocodile connectors to the 2 transformer output wires (cut of the jack socket if needed)
2, Drill 4 holes near the outer edge of jar lid and fit the grommets into the holes (drill the holes fairly evenly spaced)
3, Take the air pump hose and cut off around 100 â 150 mm Push the longer piece of air pump rubber pipe into one of the grommets so that it almost reaches the bottom of the glass jar when the lid is screwed in place, connect the other end of this pipe to the air blower/fish tank pump.
4, Take the smaller piece of the air pump rubber pipe (100 -150mm) and fit into the opposite grommet so that it is just inside the lid, this will act as a breather vent and stop water splashing out of the jar
5, Fill the glass jar to almost full with the distilled water.
6, Take the 2 silver rods and connect them to the crocodile clips that were fitted to the transformer wires (1 rod per clip! )
7, Gently push each rod into the remaining unused grommets, both rods should be held in place snuggly buy the grommets, the rods should extend to near the bottom of the jar.
8, Plug both the air blower and the transformer into the mains power supply and switch them both on, bubbles in the water should be seen and heard.
9, leave running for 3 -4 hours, check the rods every now and then, clean them if they turn dirty/black (oxidation)
10, After 3 -4 hours remove all the apparatus and check the end product for silver content, first leave the finished product standing for an hour or so to settle then in a slightly darkened room /area, shine the laser light down through the mix (no lid on the jar! ) although the mix will be clear and look like ordinary tap water you will notice a strong reflective beam from the laser, if you compare this to unused distilled water you will not see a beam or any light reflecting, this is the only way to indicate that Nano silver particles have been produced and the mix is rich with them.
11, if you need more information or clarification on any points drop an email here or search on line, try searching for ''agitating water to make silver'' as there are now a few very helpful sites that actually sell very, very effective homemade kits at almost cost price.
Good luck and happy brewing!

03/23/2013Coins should not be used for making colloidal silver as other metals have been added.
I have made and use my own colloidal silver generator as I find the solution effective for many healing issues, internally as well as on my skin. As long as the dosage is reasonable (1/2-1 teaspoon in a little water 2-3 times a day) there is no risk of side effects, unless one is allergic to silver.

Infection 0 0Posted by Lloyd (Charlotte, Nc) on 09/22/2013
I'm an advocate of the use of colloidal silver to kill infections so I'm now writing, Sunday night to report, real time, about blood in my urine.
Blood in the urine usually signals a fast trip to the urologist... with anticipation of anitbodics, and if that doesn't work then biopsy.
The blood first showed up early Sunday morning (today) and rather than panicking, I decided to practice what I preach. Headed straight to my supply of colloidal silver. I have used silver for years and in this case a real test: blood, bright red, almost pink. Something is going wrong either in the urinary track or kidney. But no pain or discomfort in either.
At 7 am I drank three tablespoons of colloidal silver after seeing blood in urine only minutes earlier.
At 12 pm only a little blood in the urine but not nearly as much as only hours earlier.
At 5 pm more blood in the urine but not as bright as at 7:30 am, but more blood and brighter than at noon.
Immediately drank another dose at about 7:50 pm, three tablespoons of CS.
I expect this: No visible blood before bedtime tonight (Sunday).
Very little blood Monday morning, but I will take three tablespoons of CS to finish killing the infection.
I expect no blood during the day and will take the silver solution again around noon on Monday and later in the afternoon and evening.
Tuesday there will be no blood in the urine... And for the rest of the week... hence, clear of infection.
So I'm putting it (CS) to the test: In basically real time. In front of anyone who's interested. I'll let you know what happens. If the blood continues then I'll call it quits on the CS helping and schedule an appointment with the Doctor.
Stay tuned and let's see if CS really works.Replied by Lloyd
Charlotte, Nc
09/23/2013Concerning my earlier post in which I reported my use of colloidal silver to treat the blood in my urine; It is now Monday 6:00 pm and as I expected, after using the CS last night and this morning and this afternoon... no blood ALL day.
I'll retake the CS tonight and before bed time and with that, fully expect the blood will not return as I believe I've killed the viral/ fungal or bacterial infection.
CS does work in my opinion. (Of course, it is possible the blood in the urine for the better part of a full day might have been caused by something else than an infection. Excess exercise can cause blood I've heard. So my CS experiment doesn't PROVE the effectiveness of CS but the blood in urine test is not the first time I've used CS to knock out what I think is an infection producing blood in the urine. This is about the fifth time this has happened in the past eight years. CS worked every time.)

03/10/2015Hi I have a very, very bad cough with green mucus. On sat I felt exhausted and headachey and nauseous, on sat night began to have bronchitis which continued thru sun. I wonder if I have pneumonia. I get bronchitis frequently, but not this bad.
mostly just drank a lot, took cs and mustard pack on chest. Mon felt way way more tired. Today, 5 am not as tired but cough worse. I have taken acv, mustard and flour pack and mustard slippery elm bark on chest, lots of hot baths, fluids and cs, plus garlic and lemon, tried onion in honey, no luck.
I inhaled the cs from a tablespoon, on the right side it hurt my neck a lot and on left got temp pain in temples etc plus nostrils felt like they were burning, plus am taking it internally, plus breathing in steam with thyme and menthol.
Am I doing the cs right for nostrils? I don't have a nebulizer or vapor thing, don't have much money any ideas would be helpful.
In general, even with out this acute infection, I feel exhausted, lots of pain in my neck/shoulder area- feels like granules and slivers of glass in there, insomnia, bad digestion and neuropathy in legs not from diabetis. my blood tests from conven doctor all normal.
I have lyme and parasites.
I am a poet writer artist story teller aspiring musician and love life, however it is hard to be so sick and I have tried many things, but as yet no results.
Please respond promptly and thank you. YekaraReplied by Timh
03/11/2015Y: Place a few drops of pure Eucalyptus oil on a tissue and breath into lungs, and take the Colloidal Silver orally.
You must begin a parasite cleanse. Read here for more info http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/parasites.html
You must surely find herbs like Oregano and Olive Leaf in your local market that will help.
Do your best to purchase an inexpensive Zapper that will compliment the herbs and silver for a more powerful treatment.

Yes, hard chined boats have more drag both because of increased wetted surface and because of turbulance that forms at the chines. In theory the chines could be laid out to match water flow if the boat did not have leeway, but of course boats do have leeway and it is the cross flow of water across the chine that creates turbulence.
If the boat is low performance, and carefully modeled, the induced drag would not be noticable, but on a reasonably high performance, displacement hull, chine drag would be large enough to be significant. Losses in speed due to chine drag is less significant on a planning hull once it is planning.
I think it's argued by Ruel Parker in his book about sharpies that hard chined boats have less wetted surface when heeled. of course that woudn't apply to power boats I guess.
It may be true that a hard chined boat heeled over has less wetted surface than it would when level, a hard chine boat will have more wetted surface than a round bilge boat when heeled. For any given volume, half a cylinder will have less surface area than any other geometric shape. The closer you are to a cylindar the less surface area for the volume. In terms of surface area to volume, a triangle is pretty inefficient in that regard.
