I am 95% cured. <truncate> Many people with MS have tried colloidal silver without results. Lyme disease, with symptoms that can be very similar to MS, typically does respond to CS. I make my own CS and use it to stop colds etc. at their beginning and have found it very effective. It is extremely cheap if you make your own, perhaps a dime for a quart. Or, you could pay over $100 for the same amount at a health food store. If you want to try it, you will need the following: 1. Steam distilled water, available at most grocery stores. (Reverse osmosis purified water may or may not be adequate, RO quality varies more greatly than steam distillation purity.) 2. High grade silver wire, at least 0.999 pure and preferably 0.9999. This can be found by searching for it on the internet. I use wire that is about 1/8 inch in diameter, the fatter the better, but also the more expensive. The wire may cost $5 - $10 per foot (I forgot the exact amount, it has been a long time since I bought mine and it lasts and lasts.) 3. An old 12 volt power supply box such as printers etc. use. If you have accumulated a bunch of these, this is a good use for one that you forgot what it goes to. The labeling on the box should indicate that it has a DC and not an AC output, AC does not make colloidal silver. 4. A clear, non-metalic glass, jar or cup. Metals mess up the ions that are part of the colloidal properties. Clear is nice to be able to monitor progress. 5. A piece of thin, clear, stiff plastic slightly bigger than the opening of your jar. The next time you need to use a pair of scissors to open a package of something you bought at the store and that is " protected " with clear plastic, you probably provided yourself with this item. Stiff cardboard might work as well, but gets soggy if it gets wet. 7. Some form of wire stripper to remove the insulation from the wires coming out of the power box. 8. A means to connect the silver wire to the wires from the power box. Soldering is best if you have the tools and the skill, if you do solder, make sure you use lead-free solder. Twist-nuts available at any hardware store can also be used to connect the wires together. 9. A flashlight. 10. Some paper towels. With this equipment, you are ready to go into business: 1. Strip the ends of the 2 wires coming out of the power supply. If you are soldering, perhaps 1/4 of an inch is the right length. If you are using twist nuts, then about half an inch. If you are simply going to wrap the wires together, then strip off about an inch. 2. Cut the silver wire to the proper length. Basically, it should reach to close to the bottom of the jar and stick out about half an inch or so above the top of it. You will need two pieces of silver wire, one for each of the output wires from the power supply box. 3. Fasten the silver wires to the power supply wires. If you can't solder and don't want to get twist nuts from the hardware store, you can simply twist the stripped end of power supply wire around the silver. This would be a poor, unstable connection, but might work well enough for a temporary situation. Of course, if you are going to the trouble to order the silver wire to begin with, then perhaps getting the twist nuts is not that big of a deal. 4. Place the clear, stiff plastic at the top of the jar. Poke two holes in it for the silver wires to pass through. These holes should be as far apart as possible. 5. Fill the jar close to the top with the distilled water. 6. Insert the silver wires into the two holes in the plastic. 7. Put the silver wires into the jar. The plastic should hold the silver wires in place. The silver wires should not be allowed to touch each other, as this would short out the power supply. They should reach the bottom of the jar or be close to it. 8. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet. You are now making colloidal silver. How long do you let it go? 1. Shine the light through the jar from the side. Af first, the light should pass through the water without being seen, if your water is pure. If the jar is direcly in front of you, then shine the light from either the left side or the right side of the jar from how you are looking at it. In other words, you are trying to look at the light beam from its side. 2. After a while, the light beam will begin to reflect off of the colloidal particles in the water. When you see the reflection, you know you have made some CS. 3. In time, a black fuzz will begin to accumulate on one or both of the silver wires. The length of time to do this varies, depending on the volage, on the wire diameter, on the initial purity of the water, on the temperature, and who knows how many other factors. With a fresh batch, it sometimes takes me two hours to get a significant build up. The black fuzz is composed of silver particles that are too large to be suspended in the water. Colloidal particles have an electrical charge on them, some of these particles are attracted to the wires which also have electrical charge on them. 4. When the build-up starts to become significant, carefully lift the wires out of the jar, making sure they do not touch each other. Leave the power on while you pull the wires out, it helps hold the fuzz onto the wires. 5. Wipe the fuzz off of the wires with the paper towel, then put it back into the water. You can turn the power off while wiping if you prefer, just turn it back on once everything is ready to go again. 6. As more and more colloidal particles accumulate in the water, you will find you need to wipe it off after shorter and shorter intervals. When it takes about 5 minutes between wipings, I consider it done. 7. When you are finished, shine the flashlight through the jar again, and notice how much refection you get from the particles. For future batches it is best to use some of an earlier batch as a starter. If I get around to doing this when I have 1/4 of it still left, the whole process takes less than fifteen minutes. Different batches will have different colors, and in time the color of a given batch will change. The color is apparently dependent mostly upon the sizes of the particles. In time, the particles clump together and become bigger, thus the color changes. Sometimes it is clear, sometimes it is gray, sometimes it is yellow, sometimes it is brown. I never know in advance what color to expect and notice it as more of a curiosity than concern. Larger silver particles will collect at the bottom of the jar. Do not drink these, they are to large to do any good. A few dollars worth of silver wire will make many, many batches. The cost is easily under a dime a quart. At one time I used 9 volt batteries instead of the power supply boxes. The batteries would make many batches, 12 - 16 oz. per batch. Replacing the batteries was by far the most expensive part of the operation, so I switched to using an old power supply box that I had laying around. Did the PS box initially go to a printer, a scanner, an audio system for my computer? Who knows, all I know is that now it goes to my CS maker and that is the best use it could have. Incidentally, I would be concerned about drinking 16 0z. a day of CS. Excessive quantites of silver accumulate in the skin and there is a potential problem of getting too much silver in ones system over an extended period of time. However, I know of many people who have taken smaller amounts, such as a table-spoon a day, for many, many years with no known problems and many benefits. C_Silver/ is the address of a group I found in a search on CS. I have never read their material, but years ago I was on another silver list which is now out of existence. I learned a tremendous amount from them. So, if one is interested in CS, it may be worth checking out this group. I personally think that people who respond to CS probably did not have MS, but one of the myriad of other diseases which sometimes mimick MS. If, when you start taking CS, you notice an immediate change for the worse, then you probably have lyme disease and not CS. The change is caused by the CS killing the spirochetes with a resulting overload of toxins. This is actually good news, because it means the CS is being effective. In this case, one needs to back off on the dosage until the symptoms become managable and gradually increase the amount as the spirochetes die off and the body rids itself of their toxins. This reaction is called a herxheimer reaction. It is common with lyme disease treatments that are working. If you reading posts on groups discussing lyme disease and hear about someone " herxing, " this is what they are talking about. It is an initial intensification of symptoms when a new treatment starts. By contrast, MS patients do not have herxing as a typical reaction. Perhaps if some forms of MS are caused by a bacteria, such as proposed by Dr. Lindner, and if LDN kills off this bacteria, then some form of herxing could follow initial LDN consumption by someone with MS.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 A brief continuation of my earlier post on CS. CS can be very effective at killing certain kinds of bacteria and viruses. This also includes the beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Whenever I take CS, I try to remember to take some yogurt a few hours later in order to reestablish good bacteria in the gut.
