Colloidal Silver Question for Art
1 hour agoHi John,
Since you are specifically inquiring about 320 ppm silver nanoparticles, I am assuming you have a SilverTron Elite silver nanoparticle generator which includes a 320 ppm setting for making 320 ppm AgNPs which produces batches of 320 ppm that are approximately the color of black coffee.
Here are the directions you asked for using a hot plate stirrer which is also required for making 320 ppm AgNPs. These are directions for making a quantity of 250 ml. You can adjust your SilverTron selection accordingly to make larger batch sizes at a time.
320 PPM / 250 ml
1. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of Knox Gelatin onto a 250 ml beaker of distilled water. Allow the gelatin to "bloom" for a few minutes and then put in microwave for 1.5 minutes. When done, the gelatin should be fully dissolved and the water should be clear and colorless again.
2. Microwave 250 ml of distilled water with 1/4 teaspoon of Knox Gelatin for 1.5 minutes in a 250 ml beaker.
2. Set beaker on hot plate stirrer and insert magnet in beaker. Set stir speed at lower to medium speed setting. Set temperature of plate at approximately two thirds of maximum. You want the water temperature to be just below boiling.
3. Add reducer at 10 drops. I use a 50/50 mix of 50% light Karo syrup and 50% vodka or 50 % gin to prevent mold growth in the reducer.
4. Add electrolyte (sodium carbonate solution) at 10 drops.
5. Place the silver anode in lid and attach red lead to it so it is very well introduced into the water but not touching the bottom of the beaker.
6. Set cathode (copper or silver) in lid at a depth that will produce about 15 volts on the built in volt gauge (approximately 1/4" penetration of the water surface).
7. Set SilverTron settings at 15 ma., 250 ml, 320 ppm and signal on.
8. Start the run and make sure the cathode is set to approximately 15 volts.
9. At 50% done, hit the pause run selection to fire clean anode and wipe cathode clean with a clean cloth.
10. Resume run for the remaining 50% duration.
11. The total production time should be roughly 90 minutes for the 250 ml/320 ppm batch.
12. Fire clean anode, wipe clean cathode, clean beaker with distilled water and make sure it is completely clean for next use.
13. If you want to dilute your 320 ppm to 20 ppm with distilled water, it will make approximately a gallon and will be a shade of amber at 20ppm. It is a bit darker than had you made a 20 ppm batch which is normally "baby shampoo yellow" because the gelatin has capped the AgNPs slightly darkening the batch. The gelatin is needed as a capping agent to prevent agglomeration and improve batch integrity and shelf life when making high PPM batches but not needed when making just 20 ppm batches. In that case the reducer acts as a mild capping agent.
This is what I do when making 320 ppm/250 ml. I hope it is what you were looking for.

3 hours agoRe: MMS for Deworming
3 hours agoMiracle Mineral Solution (MMS), a toxic bleach substance, has been linked to multiple deaths:
US: According to Colombian authorities, at least seven US citizens died after consuming MMS.
Argentina: Two deaths occurred after taking MMS, including a 5-year-old boy who died from organ failure and a 50-year-old man who died weeks after taking the substance.
Vanuatu: A Mexican woman died within 12 hours of taking MMS to prevent malaria.
I am not saying a person shouldn't take it because likely the dead people weren't listening to their body, took too much or other things. Plus we don't know what other complications they had. I started on low dose and my body said, don't take anymore. If you have malaria, you may be in a life or death situation and little medical help, so one may throw caution in the wind. It's an individuals decision.
Given how widely it has been distributed, there is still a low enough death rate to rationalize that it is relatively safe enough.
The health care system in the US is built in a corrupted way being primarily a surgery and distribution network for pharmaceuticals which has a higher death rate, so the system is not in any position to claim having higher ethics. It's subjective.
Fundamental science has been corrupted by being intertwined with politics for last century but it is never admitted.
Doctors get kick backs for using various pharmaceuticals and services. This bribery should be not legal but it is not.
Anecdotal reports are valid evidence, just like folk tale evidence. We each have to evaluate how useful and valid these are so subjective. The reality is that to cure things, we need to experiment.
I have medicare Plan F but, it is mostly all useless outside physical trauma or catastrophic incident because it doesn't allow natural medicine. Virtually all my health care comes out of pocket for supplements etc.
I generally find there is a lack of information on MMS but, I think that is because no human studies are allowed on it due to potential toxicity of chlorine.
All I do is make people aware of the deaths so they have enough caution when using it.

10 hours agoI know this post is really old, but I had to jump in when I saw that your dog had a blue-misty eye; mine did too. This was the day after we started beating an inner ear infection back (using dmso, but that saga will be in another post). It was only in his right eye and appeared overnight.
Mildly alarmed at seeing his big brown eye turn misty-blue so quickly, I made a dmso/distilled water solution immediately and applied it 2x/day with an eye dropper. Even with him closing his eyes when the dropper is near, the space between the lids is enough. Within 2 days his eye is its beautiful original brown again! I will continue to treat him for another few days though. Another miracle by my trusty DMSO.

10 hours agoRe: Seeking Remedies for Cardiac Calcium Deposits
1 day agoHi Liz,
Magnesium (in a more bioavailable form such as magnesium glycinate) , vitamin D, Vitamin K2 and phytic acid (IP-6) in animal studies, may be helpful for reducing calcification in the heart and arteries along with dietary changes, as discussed here :
https://www.pdcenterlv.com/blog/how-to-remove-calcium-deposits-from-arteries-naturally/
Here is a relevant quote from the article :
' There are certain vitamins and minerals that will help in lowering calcium buildup in your arteries. Increasing intake of the following can help you naturally manage calcium buildup:
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 transports excess calcium from where it shouldn't be (your arteries) to where it should be (your bones). K2 will remove calcium buildup from places like your joint and arteries and move it to bones and teeth. MK7, the natural version of K2, can be found in everyday foods, including cheese, chicken, egg yolk, sauerkraut, and beef liver.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 (a cholecalciferol) is a vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium. This vitamin works alongside Vitamin K2 to help pull calcium deposits from your arteries. Oily fish is the best source of Vitamin D3, including rainbow trout, sockeye salmon, and sardines. It can also be found in eggs and beef liver, as well. However too much Vitamin D can actually lead to higher calcium scores. Therefore it's important to have your physician check your Vitamin D, 25-OH levels, to help guide your therapy.
Magnesium
Magnesium is critical if you have excess calcium as it helps to balance out the calcium buildup in your body. When you increase the magnesium in your body, it lowers calcium levels. Magnesium-rich foods including chia seeds, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and cashews are some of the best sources of this vitamin.
IP-6 or Phytic Acid
Phytic acid is another inhibitor of calcification in your arteries as it helps to pull calcium and other minerals out of parts where they should not be, like your arteries. Phytic Acid can be found in a variety of seeds and nuts, including sesame seeds, cashews, and almonds. '

Re: Seeking Remedies for Cardiac Calcium Deposits
1 day agoDr. Christopher had a particular interest in calcium and other inorganic mineral supplements because, while doctors are warned about the dangers, patients are not. I can't find the reference I'm looking for and suspect it was in either an article or somewhere in his unpublished works on another topic...possibly...it may have been a reference within an article about either inorganic/unassimilable minerals or distilled water...or it may even have been in an article about a specific herb or even the heart, specifically, but I can't find it. It was something about inorganic calcium deposits but I don't think those are the words he used...or, rather, I can't seem to find any instances of that particular term...
I'll keep an eye out for it.
Re: Adult Onset Sleep Talking
1 day agoWhen I was about his age, instead of regular dreaming, I would, sometimes, go off exploring with less-than-physical buds and, when we discovered particularly interesting things or ideas, I would sort of frantically try to translate the more awesome discoveries into English (words) on my way back, before I "woke up". Which - try as I might - didn't work as it would be such a short trip.
The only actual "words" I ever remembered from those expeditions were merely analogous and something about "pushing the envelope".
If it was me, I wouldn't interfere.

1 day agoCilantro for Lung Congestion Following Pneumonia (old post on EC)
1 day agoLung Congestion
After recovering from pneumonia, I continued to have chronic lung congestion. Coincidentally, my son in Texas mentioned a salsa recipe he'd made and suggested I give it a try. He insisted I use fresh cilantro for superior taste. Well, within 5 minutes of making and sampling the salsa, I coughed up an enormous amount of thick phlegm and breathed easier for the rest of the night. By morning, some sleep congestion returned. I made eggs, and since I had fresh cilantro left over from the salsa, I put it on the eggs. Once again, the congestion cleared, with lots of phlegm purged. All within 5-10 minutes of eating the cilantro.
Thinking maybe I had imagined the results, I went a week without trying the cilantro again. The congestion came back. I ate cilantro again, and the phlegm cleared again. I've repeated that test many times since then, and each time cilantro has proven to be my hero. My aunt, who has emphysema (COPD), tried it and got similar good results.
My lung doctor, originally from India, swears by cilantro (and coriander, which includes the whole plant, not just the leaves). The last time I went for a checkup, he declared that my lungs were completely clear and told me to keep eating cilantro.
So now I cook with cilantro several times a week, no matter what. And whenever I travel, I take a small bottle of dried cilantro to sprinkle on my food.

2 days agoMild sciatica vs Severe/Chronic sciatica
I think this is important for Earth Clinic to talk about upfront.
My guess is that most of the cures listed are for mild sciatica.
Medical study on sciatica concluded that the root cause of 90 percent of sciatica is caused by some degree of herniated disc. They are LESS likely to see mild cases.
This brings into question many of the cures. The only mechanism of action is through some inflammation touching a nerve.
Most mild herniated discs will resolve on its own, especially in healthier younger people, through self-healing.
For more serious sciatica, one needs to use something similar to Doctors best formulation of hyaluronic acid that also includes collagen and chondroitin. The degeneration of the disc gel that cushions the disc is most likely to cause misalignment, hence the nerves can come into contact within the spinal column. This will cause a more chronic or severe form of sciatic.
If one is much older, regeneration of the spinal gel is less likely, unlike in younger people. I've had the more milder forms of sciatica in my younger days.
One needs to categorize the cures into whether they are for mild/chronic-severe-older-age.
