WHAT IS CRANIAL ELECTROTHERAPY STIMULATION?
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) is
the application of low-level pulsed electrical currents (usually less
than 1 milliampere) applied to the head for medical and/or psychological
purposes. There is now over 20 years of medical experience with CES
in America. Presently, its use requires a prescription by a licensed
health practitioner in the U.S. It is available without a prescription
throughout the rest of the world.
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation has also been known by many other
names. Transcranial electrotherapy (TCET), neuroelectric therapy (NET),
alpha sleep, electroanalgesia, electronarcosis and the original electrosleep
are just a few of the more common terms that have referred to the
same therapy.
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation was first called electrosleep because
it was thought to induce sleep. Rabinovich, a Russian, is given credit
for making the first claim for electrical treatment of insomnia in
1914. In 1957, in the U.S.S.R., Ana'ev published the first paper on
CES.
The first book, simply titled Electrosleep, was published a year later
by Gilyarovski. This generated a high degree of interest in the then-known
Eastern Block countries and CES was soon adopted as a treatment modality.
In 1959, Obrosow reviewed the CES literature and published the first
American paper on CES. By 1966 the first International Symposium on
Electrotherapeutic Sleep and Electroanesthesia was held in Austria.
The use of CES had spread worldwide by the late 1960's when animal
studies of CES began in the U.S. at the University of Tennessee, and
at what is now the University of Wisconsin Medical School. These were
soon followed by human clinical trials at the University of Texas
Medical School in San Antonio, the University of Mississippi Student
Counseling Center and the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
The most comprehensive review of the research in CES published to
date is a chapter by Ray B. Smith, Ph.D. in the book, Neural Stimulation,
published in 1985. Dr. Smith has been researching CES since 1972.
He concluded, "There are 40 studies of CES readily available
in the U.S. in which the dependent variable is reliable. When these
are examined alone it becomes apparent that CES is effective in alleviating
symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia
CES appears effective as a treatment for withdrawal in the chemically
dependent person. Other promising areas of treatment are in hypergastric
acidity and migraine headaches." Dr. Smith adds, "CES appears
to be safe, with no harm or negative side effects having been reported
to date in controlled studies. Finally, while one usually assumes
some placebo effect from a treatment as dramatic as this, none has
been reported in studies controlled for this effect."
Scientists at Harvard have recently analyzed all the literature on
CES worldwide, and have also found it to be an effective therapy although
they are holding their findings confidential until their results are
published.
Open marketing of CES devices began in the 1970's in the U.S. for
the treatment of anxiety, depression and insomnia. Several thousand
Americans are treated with CES annually by thousands of doctors and
it is estimated that more than 50,000 people fin the U.S. own CES
devices which have been prescribed for home use. No adverse effects
or contraindications have been found from the use of CES, either in
the U.S. or in other parts of the world. As with all electrical devices,
caution is advised during pregnancy and for patients with a demand-type
pacemaker. In addition, it is recommended that patients not operate
complex machinery or drive automobiles during and shortly after a
CES treatment.
In addition to the usual claims for anxiety, depression, and insomnia,
CES has been researched for many other conditions. Favorable results
have been reported in the literature for labor, epilepsy, glossalgia,
hypertension, spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, arthritis, cerebral
atherosclerosis, eczema, dental pain, asthma, ischemic heart disease,
stroke, motion sickness, digestive disorders as well as various addictive
disorders including alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana abuse.
Since we know that pain is a complex process involving the brain,
it makes sense to add CES to the treatment of most pain patients.
In fact, in many cases it is all that is needed to produce significant
long-term pain relief. Cranial electrotherapy stimulation is believed
to stimulate the production of endorphins. It probably also affects
the hypothalamus causing changes in the hypothalamic neurohormonal
regulatory mechanisms and the reticular formation of the brain stem.
The reticular activating system is involved in a myriad of behavioral
expressions from alertness to sleep. This "attentional center"
plays an important integrative role in the functioning of mind and
body. Cranial electrotherapy stimulation devices are generally similar
in size and appearance to standard transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulators (TENS), but produce very different waveforms. Standard
milliampere-current TENS devices must never be applied transcranially.
CES electrodes can be placed bitemporally, bilaterally in the hollow
behind the ears just anterior to the mastoid processes, or clipped
to the earlobes. This depends on the device being used.
Most CES devices produce a pulse repetition rate (PRR) of 100 Hertz
(Hz) which was what the original Russian devices used. Some produce
a PRR as low as 0.5, or as high as 15,000 Hz. The current is usually
increased by the patient until a mild tingling sensation is felt at
the electrode site, or a slight vertigo (dizziness) is experienced.
It is then adjusted back down to a comfortable level below that which
produces vertigo or an unpleasant feeling of electrical current. It
may take a few minutes before the current needs to be reduced. Generally,
a treatment time of 20 to 40 minutes is best, daily or very other
day.
Immediately after a CES treatment, patients usually report feeling
more relaxed. Some people feel somewhat inebriated for the first few
minutes. This is a pleasant and very comfortable sensation. After
several minutes to hours, the light-headed feelings usually disappear,
the relaxed state remains and a profound sense of alertness is achieved.
This relaxed/alert state will usually remain for an average of 12
to 72 hours after the first few treatments and then becomes cumulative
from a series of treatments.
Most patients relate feeling more relaxed, less distressed, while
their minds remain alert and even more focused on mental tasks. They
generally sleep better and report improved concentration along with
heightened states of general well-being.

Ions and Consciousness Whole Self, Spring 1991
Your awareness is in the air... For centuries, yoga masters
of the East have taught that breath is life, and by altering the intake
of air, one could alter one's consciousness. The quality of the air
was described as prana or life energy. Now, Western science has coined
a name for at least one aspect of that energy and called it "ion".
More and more individuals are finding that these tiny electric charges
have a lot to do with their awareness.
For the uninitiated, ions are charged particles in the air
that are formed when enough energy acts upon a molecule, such as carbon
dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen-eject an electron. The displaced
electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes
a negative ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us most.
Remember that feeling you've experienced near a waterfall or high
in the mountains? Those are two such places where thousands of negative
ions occur. They create an effect on human biochemistry. Some of nature's
other best known negative ion resources are air friction, lightning,
falling water, earth's radioactivity, and even evergreens and ferns.
The normal ion count in fresh country air is 2,000-4,000
negative ions per cubic centimeter (about the size of a sugar cube).
At Yosemite Falls, you'll experience over 100,000 negative
ions per cubic centimeter. On the other hand, the level is far below
100 per cubic centimeter on Los Angeles freeways during rush hour.
Research on ions began in 1950's with Dr. Albert Kreuger,
professor emeritus of the University of California at Berkeley, and
Dr. Felix Sulman, professor of pharmacology at the Hebrew University
in Israel.
Dr. Kreuger excited the scientific world when he discovered
ions to be biologically active, stimulating the production of the
powerful chemical serotonin of 5-HT. Serotonin is a very active neuro
hormone which causes profound neural, glandular, and digestive effects
throughout the body. Tests show that positive ions increase production
of 5-HT; negative ions decrease the hormone level.
Dr. Sulman corroborated Kreuger's findings while studying
positive ion victims of the hot, dry "Sharav" winds in Jerusalem.
He demonstrated three effects of positive ion excess: irritation and
tension, exhaustion, and hyperthyroid response. Most of these conditions,
along with symptoms of depression, anxiety, headaches, and low energy
physical and mental functions, were shown to be alleviated or totally
eliminated by increasing the negative ion count in the air.
Negative ions break down serotonin and thereby give one a
cleared, more alert outlook with a higher awareness function. The
primary reason for this is the increased speed with which the nerve
impulses can travel along the synapses in the brain and the rest of
the body. The metabolism is enhanced to create better utilization
of nutrients from our foods and vitamins, while our brain's intuitive,
nonlinear activities flow more smoothly.
Negative ions promote alpha brain waves and increase brain
wave amplitude, which translates to a higher awareness level. Those
ion induced alpha waves spread from the occupational areas to the
parietal and temporal and even reach the frontal lobes, spreading
evenly across the right and left brain hemispheres. All of this creates
an overall clear and calming effect, benefiting meditation and concentration.
While ionization of the air is mandatory in many European
and Russian hospitals and workplaces, it has only recently come to
light in our country with the growing problems of toxic air in our
urban environments.
Jan Stolwijk, of the World Health Organization, stated that
"There is probably more damage done to human health by indoor
air pollution than by outdoor pollution." Most people spend 70%
to 80% of their time indoors!
The late William Radley, a Bay Area environmental health
expert, coined the term "orthomolecular architecture"-opening
up a whole new area for designers and architects to consider, namely,
the choice of building materials that will not release toxic fumes
such as formaldehyde and hydrocarbons.
It may have been difficult to be an urban mystic in the past,
but now, we can look forward to environmental solutions that will
aid us in maintaining a more conscious and healthful life. Ionization
is one of our first major steps.

Both PolySync and DLS CDs and tapes contain certain codes
that are translated by PolySync-compatible Light & Sound into complex
patterns of flashing lights and computer generated frequency tones.
These codings can be read only on machines with specific types of
decoding capability.
Additionally there are important differences between
PolySync and DLS CDs and tapes that you should know about.
PolySync codings have a short sequence of tones (similar to
fax machine tones) at the very beginning of the recording, followed by
a regular audio program. The flashing lights are coordinated with the
sounds (the timing is very closely matched when CDs are used).
DLS CDs and tapes contain groups (called blanks) of up to
25 L/S programs in coded form, including both light flash patterns and
computerized sound tone patterns. They do not contain recorded musical
selections. They can be downloaded, stored and played.
The Photosonix Nova Pro can play PolySync CDs and tapes and
it can store and play and write DLS tapes.
Other L/S coding systems include Turbo Disk and Audio
Strobe. Mind Gear has developed Turbo Disk for use with all CDs
incorporating the
TurboSonix features. It is embodied in "Plus" versions of
it's world renown
XCELR8R II and
PR-2X machines.

OZONE IS GOOD AND
NATURAL
by Ed McCabe
Ozone is one of the most beneficial substances on this planet,
and the BAD science you hear quoted on the news every night is causing
you to subconsciously be afraid of Nature, and therefore, a part of
Life itself.
What is Ozone? Simply, oxygen, three atoms of nature's oxygen.
It exists in a very active form for about 30 minutes before breaking
down into two atoms of regular oxygen by giving up one atom of singlet
oxygen.
Where does Ozone come from? Nature. And nature does not make
any mistakes. The new growth in the rainforests, and the plankton
in the ocean are continually creating oxygen. As you read this, oxygen
is rising up into the atmosphere to where the ozone layer is. At the
altitude of the ozone layer, the rising oxygen is bombarded by the
sun's photochemical energy in the form of ultraviolet light rays.
This UV energy bombardment changes the oxygen from O2 -- two atoms
of stable oxygen, into O3 -- three atoms of unstable active oxygen.
We call this Ozone. This is all part of the natural process of life
on this living biosphere called earth. The chemical formula for this
is 3O2 >UV> 2O3.
Being heavier than the oxygen in the atmosphere ,this newly
created Ozone falls back to earth and is immediately replaced by more
rising oxygen which is also soon changed int ozone by the sun. A constant
natural cycle of up and down oxygen mixing.
The Ozone falls to earth and is all around us. It is the
fresh small of laundry dried outdoors in the country. It is also the
fresh air at the clean seashore, and the sweet smell in the air after
a lightning storm. Lightning, also possessing photochemical energy
creates ozone as well. Ozone has always been with us, and the fact
that ozone gives off that single oxygen atom is a significant factor.
Thousands of physicians in Europe have been using ozone as a medical
treatment for over 50 years, and the use of Ozone in medicine is starting
to finally catch on here in the U.S.
How is it used in medicine? This O3 Ozone is not as stable
as regular O2 oxygen because it has that extra atom of O1 attached
to it. Ozone will readily give up the extra atom and revert back to
stable oxygen again. This ability to quickly give off the atom of
O1 is the reason ozone has been used in medicine.
It has been demonstrated that O1, a beneficial free radical,
will kill bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds by attaching to them
and oxidizing and eliminating them. These lower life form organisms
are mostly anaerobic. "Anaerobic" means they can't live
around activated oxygen. Doctors using the proper concentrations and
correct medical protocols have achieved substantial positive clinical
results with Ozone. Ozone, when used properly, has been shown repeatedly
to kill pathogens -- yet not hurt normal cells. The pathogens do not
have any protective enzymes coatings to protect them -- as do all
the cells in higher life forms like us.
Breathing Ozonated air or drinking Ozonated water (at the
safe legal concentrations that are already laid out by the government)
are two of the ways of getting activated oxygen into your body. Did
you ever drink water just downstream from a waterfall and feel invigorated?
That was because the water had tumbled over the rocks, thinned out
and absorbed oxygen/ozone from the air. If it wasn't safe to breathe
acceptable concentrations of ozone, the military would not purify
the air in our submarines with it. Other methods being explored medically
are rectal insufflation, autohemotherapy, and IV infusion.
Why do they call Ozone "smog?" Bad science and
bad reporting. Did you know that your automobile spews out it's own
weight in air pollutants every year? When man dumps pollutants into
the air, nature tries to repair the damage by sending ozone into the
affected area to oxidize and clean them up. Nature works through the
balancing of differential electrical, magnetic, and chemical charges.
This explains why Ozone is always found near air pollution. Ozone
is not irritating you in smog, it's the toxins like nitric acids formed
that hurt people. But, because ozone is there, then the newscasters
and scientists try to blame our troubles on our poor friend Ozone.
By blaming nature, no one has to take responsibility for the car and
factory emissions. No one ever has to develop clean energy sources.
What they call "ozone" is any number of toxic compounds.
Why they don't tell you is that Nature's Ozone is a very tiny portion
of the smog they report. They also don't admit that Ozone is strictly,
always, only O3 -- pure oxygen, and never anything else. I've actually
cornered a few scientists and reporters and asked if they know that
they were not being scientifically accurate. They admitted (in private)
that they knew they weren't, but keep up the charade "because
everyone else does!"
What about the holes in the ozone layer? Consider the greedy
"clear cutting" of the oxygen producing rainforests and
the disappearance of our own national forests at the rate of 1 acre
every 5 seconds! At this rate, statistics prove that there will be
no trees in the US in 50 years. Add to this situation the constant
mindless polluting of the oceans, and the selfish discharge of industrial
pollutants into the air. Electrical, electronic, and radioactive discharges
further scramble the elements in nature. Chlorine gas comes out of
your water faucet. The oxygen is either missing or bound up.
What we're experiencing is an increasing shortage of any
planetary oxygen being available to be turned into Ozone in the first
place! That's why there is an ozone layer hole at both poles, and
the rest is starting to look like Swiss cheese.
The ozone layer is almost a "living" boundary,
only paper thin, and only on the daylight side of the planet. When
the oxygen is all bound up or missing, then there can be no Ozone
layer. When there is no ozone layer, the sun's full ultraviolet light
travels right on through to you without being used up creating Ozone,
and we will see increased cataracts, skin cancer, blindness, and burning
of vegetation. So, our bodies and our food supply are in danger --
unless you do something about turning back the rampant greed that
is destroying us.
Until you make them start putting the trees back, and clean
up the ocean, you must protect yourself. What can you do personally
to help supply the missing free oxygen in your life? Thousands of
people are exploring the oxygenating methods I wrote about in my book
"Oxygen Therapies." One of the simplest methods of creating
Ozone is by using one of the common home ozone air and water purifiers.
Home units aren't manufactured for medical purposes. They generally
do not use pure U.S.P. "green bottle" oxygen for their influent
gas stream -- as is required in the medical ozone generators. However,
they do a fine job for what they were designed for, general air and
water purification. I use them at home with pleasant results.
Many readers of my book have called and told me their own
interesting stories. After installing air ozonators, they claimed
"their house mold went away," "the smells stopped,"
their "emphysema became less," they "had more energy,"
their "lupus got better," and it sounds far out, but one
fellow even said "the tartar fell off his teeth!" Of course
no one is making medical claims for these devices, but the anecdotal
evidence is piling up steadily. Oxygen is the first line of defense
of the immune system, and necessary for the removal of every single
waste product from the body.
As I travel around speaking and appearing in the media, I
point out that our society is experiencing the rise of diseases and
plagues corresponding to the falling of our planetary oxygen level.
The opposite phenomenon, the lessening of disease occurrence correlating
to increases of cellular oxygen levels, is strongly suggested by the
evidence available from all sources. Ozone is our friend. We should
get to know it better.

A Brief Introduction to
Light and Sound
This article first appeared in the Voyager XL User Guide
(c) Copyright 1993 Theta Technologies.
The study of "brainwaves" has played a vital role
in the understanding of how the brain and mind function. Discovered
in the 1920s by German researcher Hans Berger, these tiny electrical
signals mirror the shifting patterns of mental activity. They are
measured by attaching special sensors, called electrodes, to the scalp;
these pick up brainwave activity which is then measured by an instrument
called an electroencephalograph, or EEG. Brainwave activity tends
to fall into four groups: beta, alpha, theta and delta. These categories
are associated with the rapidity of oscillation (frequency) of brainwaves.
As it turns out, certain patterns of brainwave activity are also associated
with specific mental states.
Beta is associated with normal, waking consciousness; attention
directed towards the external environment. You are most likely in
the "beta state" as you read this. Beta waves oscillate
between approximately 14 and 30 times per second (Hz).
Alpha is relaxed, not thinking about anything in particular,
sometimes a pleasurable feeling of "floating". Often dominant
in certain kinds of meditation, alpha waves have for the past twenty
years been associated with calm, lucid mental states (the "alpha
state"). They are also often detected during dream sleep. Alpha
waves oscillate between 9 and 13 times per second.
Theta Found in states of deep relaxation, theta activity
is also associated with bursts of creative insight, twilight ("sleep")
learning and vivid mental imagery. It is also found in more advanced
meditators. Theta waves oscillate between 4 and 8 times per second.
Delta This slowest of brainwave activity, is found during
deep dreamless sleep and sometimes in very experienced meditators.
They oscillate between 1 and 3 Hz.
Your brainwave activity is constantly shifting and changing
during the day and night. Virtually every form of mental and physical
activity will cause changes in this activity. Abrupt, unexpected noises
or other events will quickly alter your brainwave patterns. Even watching
TV can dramatically alter brainwave activity in an undirected manner.
Over the years many techniques have been developed to allow
you to enter these states, particularly alpha and theta, at will.
Most methods, such as meditation, require years of regular practice
to master. Alpha wave biofeedback, quite popular in the 70s, requires
the sometimes awkward placement of electrodes as well as considerable
practice.
The Frequency-Following Effect
In the 1940s researcher Gray Walter discovered that brainwave
activity tends to mirror flickering light, particularly in the alpha
and theta frequencies. This effect has become known as the "frequency-following
effect." A familiar example is the tendency to slip into a relaxed
or dream-like state while gazing into a fire the flicker rate of which
happens to average in the alpha/theta range!
More recently, sound has been shown to produce similar results,
particularly pulsed sound and binaural beats. This last effect, binaural,
results when one ear hears a pure tone of a slightly differing pitch
than the other ear. The brain then actually synthesizes the difference
between the two. The portions of the brain associated with hearing
tend to fall into step with this pleasant, gently pulsing rhythm.
The combination of pulsed light and binaural beat frequencies can
be a particularly effective tool for relaxation and preparation for
meditation. Pulsed sound in the form of musical rhythms has been entraining
people for thousands of years.
Research conducted at the Monroe Institute and elsewhere
suggests that both binaural beats and flickering light stimulation
can synchronize the activity of the left and right hemispheres of
your brain. It is thought that this synchronization can increase the
flow of information between the two hemispheres, thereby accelerating
learning and increasing creativity.
Altering your mood
Another benefit of light/sound technology lies in its ability
to interrupt negative emotional response loops. Examples of such "loops"
include moderate levels of anger, worry, sadness, irritability and
depression. Let's say that you've had a tough day at the office. On
your way home a driver cuts sharply in front of you without signaling,
nearly causing an accident. You arrive at home with a "short
fuse", growling at your children or spouse. You realize that
you are experiencing an undesirable mental state, but don't know quite
how to change it. All too often, the solution may be to have a few
drinks or switch on the TV. A nap can be effective, but you don't
want to take the time. What are the alternatives?
Before showing you how to reduce this sort of emotional response,
let's examine what happens when an event has a negative emotional
impact. When the event first occurs, you respond directly. So when
your boss snarls at you, you respond internally, even if you cannot
voice your response directly. The problem lies in what can happen
next: you mentally "act out" the exchange a number of times,
and respond emotionally to each of these imaginary events. This is
what we call a negative emotional response loop, because you are repeating
(looping) your emotional response in a series of make-believe events
that can stretch out over hours or days. Often times you may not even
be aware that this process is taking place. If your boss is a real
jerk, then after a number of unpleasant encounters you may become
upset just by being near him or her.
An awareness of your mental process is an important step
in changing your emotional response. Another step is to interrupt
the feedback loop. Sleep is an effective way to do this, which is
why you often wake up feeling refreshed and renewed. Nobel Prize winner
Sir Francis Crick hypothesizes that dreaming serves a necessary function
by clearing away the various loops and impressions of the day on a
synaptic level.
A much faster technique is to run a session with a "good"
light and sound machine. One of the Relax or Energize sessions should
do, especially in the 10-30 minute range. The trick is to run a session
that is long enough to divert and refresh you, but not long enough
to put you to sleep. Why is this effective? Because the pulsing light
and sound saturates your senses and constantly directs and diverts
your attention towards the rhythms and patterns of the experience.
Try it! Chances are that after a few weeks of regular use, you will
generally feel calmer and more centered.

The Mind Electric
We have "electric-powered" brains: all our thoughts and
perceptions consist of complex networks of electrical currents and
electromagnetic fields that sweep across the brain. So it makes sense
that electrical stimulation of the brain can alter your mental state.
The most popular technique for electrically boosting brain
power is called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). Tiny battery-powered
consoles generate a minute electrical current that flows through pads
placed on the earlobes. Studies have indicated that such electrical
currents stimulate the release of a variety of performance-boosting
neurochemicals, including beta-endorphin, the body's natural pleasure
chemical. Scientists speculate that electrical flows may optimize
brain function by "tuning up" the electrical activity of
brain cells.
CES units have long been prescribed by doctors for therapeutic
reasons, including the treatment of anxiety, depression, insomnia,
and chemical dependency. Many users have reported that CES can help
them learn to enter a relaxed but alert state conducive to high level
mental performance that may include increased memory, concentration
and IQ. As a result, increasing numbers of healthy people are turning
to CES machines for quick, non-drug relaxation, and as tools for "supercharging"
the brain.

Convenient, Versatile, High-Quality Electromedicine
THE ALPHA STIM 100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Alpha Stim is widely known for its incredible abilities
to readjust the body to a normal, pain-free state, employing a current
that evidence suggests is similar to that found in the body's own
cellular structure. It has also shown superb results in studies of
cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES).
Improved Features, Design and Price The Alpha Stim 100 is
a major design advancement on previous, already excellent Alpha-Stim
models, and its price is $100 less! Super easy-to-use controls allow
one-button operation once settings are right, plus two additional
frequency settings (1.5 Hz and 100 Hz) and the use of a probe for
pain control. New, more precise intensity controls adjust the current
from 10 to 600 microamperes.
The 100, like the CS unit it replaces, is small, but the
controls are simpler, clearer and easier. The unit can still be carried
in a pocket or clipped to a belt, even while in use, and comes with
a carrying case. The 100 also has two channels, permitting two separate
simultaneous sessions of CES and/or pain control, on one or two people.
Proven Mental Performance Gains Plus Pain Relief Doctors
who have prescribed the device, as well as patients and healthy people
who have used it, have reported impressive effects, ranging from mild
euphoria and heightened alertness to deep relaxation, enhanced concentration
and memory, deeper sleep, alleviation of pain, and lasting feelings
of well-being. Research confirms many of these benefits.

Fresh Air Curative
Effect Related to Ions and Traces of Ozone
(c) Copyright 1996 by Thomas Valone, M.A., P.E.
Abstract
Ions and trace amounts of ozone have been found to be the
two missing ingredients of typical indoor air. This article traces
the history of ion and ozone research, including medical findings.
Modern home and office buildings are often airtight with windows that
do not open. As indoor pollutants build up, sick building syndrome
is on the rise. A few parts per billion of ozone, along with a healthy
dose of negative ions, sanitizes, deodorizes, and revitalizes the
air. This synergistic combination has been found to produce a wide
range of health benefits, which are described in this article.
Atmospheric Electricity
Not until 1752 was the secret of atmospheric electricity
discovered -- when Ben Franklin in the U.S. and d'Alibard, a French
investigator, working independently, proved that lightning occurs
when thunder clouds discharge electricity. It was a reasonable explanation
-- foreshadowed years before when one observer had noted crackling
and flashes when he rubbed a lump of amber and held it closed to a
finger. "It seems", he had suggested, "in some degree
to represent thunder and lightning."
Another form of atmospheric electricity, more subtle than
celestial phenomena, was discovered by Lemonnier, who found that an
iron wire attached from the top of a building to the bottom produced
sparks at times. It even vigorously attracted dust particles in fine
weather, indicating that it was electrified. The electricity must
be coming from the air.
Father Giambattista Beccaria of the University of Turin made
careful observations for 20 years. He finally wrote, "It appears
that nature makes extensive use of atmospheric electricity for promoting
vegetation." He also added, " We have also observed that
artificial electricity without sparks has the same effect on vegetation."
Air Ions
What was this electricity that these early pioneers were
experiencing? Not until the latter part of the 19th century did Elster
and Geitel in Germany and J.J. Thomson of England discover ions in
the air. "Ion" comes from the Greek for "traveler".
The term was first used to describe charged atoms moving in solution.
For example, when table salt is dissolved in water, the sodium chloride
splits into sodium ions and chlorine ions which will migrate to negative
and positive electrodes respectively.
Air ions are somewhat different from ions in solution. Energy
is needed for their formation -- even the shearing of water droplets
in a waterfall supplies enough energy to make the fine spray carry
a considerable load of small negative air ions while the heavier positive
ions stay in the tumbling water. Ion concentrations have been measured
at spas located near waterfalls to be as high as 35,000 per cubic
centimeter of air.
Urban Air Is Ion Depleted
However, modern urban environments present a different kind
of air quality: ion depletion.
Very few human activities add small ions to the air while
many of them lead to ion loss. Industrial pollutants, traffic-engendered
smog, and the ducts of ventila-tion systems all strip ions from the
air.
As a result, we suffer not only the direct toxic effect of
pollutants we generate but also long continued exposure to air in
which the normal total ion concentration of about 2,000-3,000 per
cubic centimeter (as found in the relatively clean air of open country)
is reduced to barely detectable levels. Headache, somnolence, loss
of attention, and general discomfort are just some of the initial
reactions to air ion depletion.
Treatment of Disease With Ions
As noted in the book, The Ion Effect, by Fred Soyka (Ballantine
Books, 1991), electronic negative ion generators have been used for
the treatment of migraines, bedsores, allergies, asthma, catarrh,
hay fever, eczema, burns, emphysema, and even as a substitute for
tranquilizers. It was discovered that negative ions lowers serotonin
in the body, and this explains why people tend to feel more alert,
stable, and energized in their presence. Dr. Kreuger found that bacteria,
staphylococci, and fungi growth is halted in the presence of negative
ions, which explains the healing side effect. Dr. I. Kornblueh mounted
experiments at the Northeastern Hospital, U. of Penn. Graduate Hospital,
and at the Frankford Hospital in Philadelphia where he was able to
report that 63 per cent of patients suffering from hay fever or bronchial
asthma "have experienced partial or total relief" from negative
ion therapy. Positive ions, on the other hand, make breathing more
difficult, from Russian studies.
Ion and Ozone Synergy
Russian studies have also pointed indicated that "atmospheric
ozone and ions are the vehicles of freshness". In studies at
the Academy of Medical Sciences, Drs. Gubernskii and Dmitriev found
that 0.005 ppm (parts-per-million) to 0.02 ppm of ozone added to normal
deozonated indoor air increased animals' resistance to the cold, to
infection, to toxic substances, and to oxygen deprivation. A general
increase in the immune "biological potential" and the vital
capacity of the lungs was reported.
Also produced during a thunderstorm, three atoms of oxygen
combine in a temporarily stable molecule called ozone. As soon as
ozone encounters almost anything, including another ozone molecule,
it breaks apart and oxidizes the substance. This includes odor-causing
chemical gases, bacterial and microbial cells, and even dust particles.
Present in fresh country and mountain air in the average
concentration of 0.03 ppm, atmospheric ozone is what gave your mother's
clothes on the line that fresh smell.
Not surprisingly, nature uses ozone to clean the air, even
in polluted cities like Los Angeles and Mexico City, where ultraviolet
light in the presence of "photochemical smog" produces enough
ozone to break down the automobile hydrocarbons in the air. Where
there is a lot of auto exhaust and sunlight, nature creates a lot
of ozone to oxidize the poisons.
Germ Killer
Ozone is a disinfectant. Twin City Testing Labs in Minnesota
demonstrated a steady decline in 5 strains of infectious microorganisms
in 4 hours with as little as .05 ppm of ozone. These "bioaerosols"
, often incubating in dirty air ducts, could be projected to be completely
eliminated in 24 hours from the Twin City Labs test data. It has been
argued that the same disinfecting action takes place in the human
sinus cavities (where invading microbes first take hold) as well as
further down the respiratory tract, while breathing fresh mountain
air containing trace amounts of ozone.
If we go this far, it is also interesting to note that ozone
is virucidal (East West magazine, Sept. 1989). Therefore, the question
about its effect on the incidence of the common cold can be raised.
East West describes virus-killing medical techniques that are being
researched for a wide range of diseases.
Office Buildings Cause Dis-Ease
The most detailed account of the beneficial effects of trace
amounts of ozone on the repiratory system comes from Drs. Gurbernskii
and Dmitriev who report "that conditioned air causes employees
working in office buildings to complain of headaches, weakness, a
general poor feeling, oxygen deprivation, and leads to increased illness,
rapid fatigue, and a reduction of the capacity to work."
They also note that "in addition, the number of colds,
rheumatism, severe catarrh, of the upper breathing passages, cardio-vascular
disorders significantly increased" with conditioned air even
in the absence of indoor air pollution.
Ozone-Ion Complex Fights Sick Building Syndrome
Tests were done with less than .01 ppm of ozone reveal that
"the levels of oxygen in the blood increase relatively quickly
and remain at a high level for the duration of the experiment."
They conclude by stating that "atmospheric ozone has a positive
effect on animals and people. It is important to note its positive
effect on the breathing system, blood composition, arterial pressure,
immune system, general feeling of well-being, and mental and physical
work capability." They note further that "the ozone-ion
complex is a necessary component of fresh air that gives it a curative
effect."
If that isn't enough, we find that in the journal Priroda
(1976, No. 9, p.26), the above researchers report that, with tests
of 0.005 to 0.02 ppm of ozone for 2-5 months, "an increase in
the resistance to the cold, to the presence of toxic substances ,
and to anemia was discovered." In addition, they discovered an
increase in hemoglobin and quantity of red blood corpuscles as well.
The same article refers to the decrease in complaints of stuffiness
(3.8 times less complaints) and 44% more positive remarks for an average
of 0.0075 ppm (less than 0.01 ppm) of ozone.
Artificially Add Ions and Ozone
The researchers conclude, "After analyzing the composition
of air in the internal environment of a person's dwelling in all sorts
of buildings, it is possible to conclude that the optimum situation
is a set of complex factors (ozone and ionized regime...) which, evidently,
in the future will be necessary to artificially introduce into air
conditioning systems. Without this favorable effect the air will be
lacking."
Precisely reproducing quantities of ozone and ions found
in fresh air is the best answer to revitalizing the home and office
since people spend on the average 90% of their time indoors, often
with windows that are sealed shut.

"After only 20 minutes
on the Aura Cushion I realized this is no ordinary vibration device."
-Ray Wolf , CEO of Photosonix
The Aura Cushion
changes sounds into body pulsing rhythms that you can feel throughout
your body. An extraordinary experience, I felt it had to be passed on
to relaxation and neurotechnology enthusiasts. The cushion produces
the full frequency range your body can sense in a completely different
way from the motor driven devices you have seen before. Very effective
with music alone, even more so with a light/sound machine. I was impressed,
I believe you will be too. And if you have been waiting for the next
breakthrough before buying a light/sound and/or vibration relaxation
device, I believe this is your opportunity. With music or with a light/sound
machine, the cushion is the best I have experienced in enhancing relaxation.
Ray Wolfe, CEO
Michael Hutchison
Author, Megabrain Power
What’s most exciting to me about the Aura Cushion is that it’s
quite simple to connect to your own light and sound system like the
Photosonix Nova Pro or Muse Sharp. This combination gives you a multi
sensory light, sound and vibration entrainment system that can be far
more effective than simply a light sound system and can produce extraordinary
 |
states of mind/body resonance or coherence.
Our species has always sought heightened states of awareness,
peak experiences, and tools to help us enter and maintain
these exceptional realms. Today an entire new field has emerged
neurotechnology devoted to using new breakthroughs in computers,
microelectronics and neurobiology to systematically optimizehuman
health and performance. This will change the lives of all
of us. In a recent best selling book noted physicist Freeman
Dyson |
of the institute of Advanced Study at Princeton points out that
we are now moving beyond the information age into "The Neurotechnology
Age" According to Dyson, neurotechnology is "the next revolutionary
Technology," and as the computer has already done. It’s now
beginning "to flood over humanity like a tsunami". I suspect
that you like me, feel that this is going to be an exciting tsunami
to ride!
Out of all the research being done in this field one thing is becoming
clear; when we enter peak performance and exceptional states- "the
zone" – our brains and bodies show dramatic shifts into higher
levels of congruence or coherence. The eyes, ears and other senses provide
the brain with coherent information (i.e without distractions, irrelevancies
or "static"), and the activities of the brain, such as the
brain wave frequencies and patterns, process that information with a
much higher degree of coherence. This is what we experience as "flow"
or being "in sync"
Many neurotechnology tools quickly and directly increase body-mind coherence
by means of vibrations. The most popular by far are light-sound systems-compact
devices that deliver precise light and sound vibrations into the brain
to quickly alter the brain’s vibrations into coherent patterns
associated with states of body-mind resonance, ranging from deep relaxation
to alert concentration. I know from my own experience, from discussions
with scores of researchers and clinicians and from exchanges with thousands
of people around the world that these light-sound devices can produce
remarkable benefits. Listening through the big ear.
Research is now revealing that our bodies respond with incredible sensitivity
to an immense range of vibrations. What this means is that our entire
body is like a big ear. In the words of acoustic scientist Dr. Patrick
Flanagan, "Our skin is not just a covering; it is an enormously
sensitive organ with hundreds of thousands of receptors for vibrotactle
input". But it’s not just the surface of the body that has
vibratory sensitivity. There’s now evidence that, In Flanagan’s
words "each cavity in the body is a resonator; It has a specific
frequency to which it resonates like a tuning fork. Thus, if the body
is resonated by music, certain parts of the body will resonate particularly
strongly to each frequency".
Now thanks to patented technology and mass production, a very effective
vibrotactile stimulator has become available at an incredibly low cost.
I use the Aura myself, and know that even when used simply with music.
It provides a remarkable and intense experience. It comes with its own
amplifier so you can plug a battery powered portable CD or tape player
into it and get big spine-tingling sound.
Good vibrations!

Ganzfeld Meditation Goggles
The Ganzfeld Effect
Anyone who is trying to learn how to meditate or is
interested in experiencing an altered state should try The Ganzfeld
Effect.
Historically, Arctic explorers were the first people
to describe the effect. After they gazed into a frosty field
of snowy white, they reported experiencing a form of snowblindness.
Upon further research in the 1930's, it was discovered
that when people gazed into a featureless field of vision (a
Ganzfeld), they quickly and consistently entered a profoundly
altered state.
When Ganzfelds have been tried by experienced meditators,
they have described the effect as instant meditation. This is
not surprising, since most forms of meditation require you to
focus your attention on a spot, flower, mantra, etc.
While traditional meditation can take many years of
practice, a Ganzfeld works for most people in a matter of minutes.
(Researchers have also tested the effects of Ganzfelds on psychic
abilities, and have found a statistically significant increase
in test scores. See Other Sites of Interest below)
The Effect Described
When someone is exposed to a Ganzfeld, they often experience
a progression of effects that can be described as follows:
- All color drains from your field of vision
- The size of your field of vision oscillates
- You "see" a swirling Kaleidoscope of colors
and with practice
- You completely ignore your vision as you us your
mind in an extremely focused way
People have reported using Ganzfelds in the following
ways:
- Instant Meditation
- Self Hypnosis
- Astral Journeys
- Past Lives Regressions
- Psychic Abilities
- Guided Imagery
- Creativity
- Relaxation
- Self Healing & Improvement

MUSIC FROM TAMAS LAB.
The often surprising, sometime very strange world of sounds
from Germany's Tamas Laboratorium is a reflection of natural
phenomena whose very structure have amazed mankind since time
immemorial. Just as the unfathomable plains of the desert with
their undulating sandbanks, a chain of mountains with its heights
and valleys, or the gently moving surface of the sea, the sounds
of Tamas evoke endlessly changing forms and a sense with its
inexhaustible potential.
A BRIDGE BETWEEN ART AND SCIENCE
The idea behind this kind of music arises out of a new view
of the world as exemplified by fractal geometry and chaos theory,
which seek an orderly structure underlying seemingly chaotic
processes. Two examples of "chaotic" processes that are familiar
everyone are the falling of rain and wood burning in a fire
place. Both sounds reflect perpetual change or growth, which
can have an effect that is relaxing, soothing, or even exciting.
Tamas CDs are audible exploration of the complex interrelationships
that lie at the heart of the dynamic world of chaos. The sounds
can be graphically illustrated on a computer screen as colored
fractal mandalas that appear in a infinite variety of forms.
Mathematical systems involving complex measurements underlie
this music. They are used to compute series of figures, which
in turn are converted into musical scores that are mostly interpreted
in a mediative nature. Out of this arise pieces including The
Wheel, which turns on its own like a voyage into the waves of
breath or the ocean, and Mandala Music, with exotic jungle rhythms
that call out from a distant place.
HEMISPHERIC SYNCHRONIZATION AND 3-D SOUND
The music from Tamas Laboratorium is strangely beautiful. It
can be haunting or even apocalyptic, but it's always harmonious
and emotionally inviting. Elemental sounds of nature -- flowing
water, falling rain, rushing wind and clapping thunder, crackling
fire, the rising and falling of breath -- surround you with
the feeling of a warm, living presence, while an ethereal synthesizer
and soft percussion transport you to another place and time.
Theta and delta binaural beat signals are used to create a state
of harmony within the brain and deepen your experience. Listening
to the Tamas Laboratorium soundscapes draws you into a world
you may never have visited, but where you'll immediately feel
at home. The Tamas CDs can be used for meditation, trance dance,
deep relaxation, body and breath work and inner exploration.
What Are Binaural Beat Signals ?
The stereo sounds bring the brain into a specific frequency
of oscillation. This principle is known as FFR, frequency following response. In this way for example on
the right side 400 Hz and on the left side 410 Hz will be played.
Through this it will happen without one hearing it, that the
brain will arise a beat, a resonance of 10 Hz in the alpha wave
region. It is of course not important really that you understand
the physiology and the physics of these matters but that it
functions, that is what is important. Diagnostic methods such
as a brain-mapping and EEG examinations and the experience of
users confirms the effect. In order to attain optimal results
various different frequencies are used and they are mixed up
with each other. What this means concretely is that through
EEG measurements you will see the appearance of different patterns
of consciousness. of course this signals can not force your
brain into this FFR, as your psyche can resist this or it may
not allow the effect to take place. If you are in especially
wound up or if you are very much under stress it takes longer
until the effect will take place. Therefore we have on these
CDs additional acoustic and musical elements which will help
to relax you so that the effect will take place.

History of Colloidal Silver
Silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic that has been used
for thousands of years, with no harmful side effects ever having
being observed.
Great Grandma put a silver dollar in the milk to keep if from
spoiling as it sat on the back porch in summertime. Also it
is well known that the ancient Greeks knew the medical value
of silver. It was observed that those ancient families who ate
from silver utensils rarely were sick and had few infections.
This knowledge passed on to kings, emperors, sultans and their
families and members of their royal courts. They ate from silver
plates, drank from silver cups, used silver utensils and stored
their food in silver containers. As a result of this use, silver
was ever so slightly rubbed off and mixed in their foods. And
after a generation or two, they received the full benefit from
the silver particles which found their way into the body of
these people, hence had little chance of getting any infectious
illness.
These royals were called Blue Bloods because their skin had
a blue tint, due to the accumulation of minute traces of pure
metallic silver. The common red blooded folk, however, ate from
earthenware dishes with iron utensils and frequently were sick,
whilst the royals enjoyed the freedom from infectious disease
as early as from birth. There are many historical references
on Colloidal Silver. One of the most complete is published in
The Lancet dated Dec. 12, 1914.
COMMON IN AMERICA PRIOR
TO 1938
Colloidal Silver was in common use in America from the late
1800s until 1938. It was prescribed for a great variety of diseases
and infections. There were none of today's antibiotics available,
and Colloidal Silver was used for just about everything. But
Colloidal Silver was relatively expensive back then, just as
today's man made antibiotics are expensive.
SAVINGS IN COST TODAY
Due to a recent breakthrough in the modernization of an original,
pre- 1983 method of production, a more concentrated product
is available at a tremendous savings in cost. Not only is Colloidal
Silver much cheaper than it used to be, it also is much cheaper
than today's antibiotics. Furthermore it is available without
a prescription.
CURRENT MEDICAL INTEREST
Today, Colloidal Silver is rapidly gaining favor in the medical
community, reflecting a kind of revival in the public health
sector. Dr. Richard L Davies, executive director of the Utah
Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries,
reported in 1978: ô In four years we have described 87 important
new medical uses for silver. We are just beginning to see to
what extent silver can relieve suffering and save lives. Some
contemporary references from which this information is drawn
include Dr. Harry Margraf of the St. Louis University, Dr. Charles
Fox of the Columbia University; Dr. Carl Moyer, Dept. of Surgery
at Washington University and the literature of Dr. Robert Becker-
ô The Body Electric and Crosscurrents Other sources are listed
in the references chapter of this booklet.
BLUE BLOODS TODAY
There are true Blue Bloods yet today. All those who through
the centuries had the knowledge and resources to use medicinal
silver are still Blue Bloods. (Why give up something that works,
is simple, cheap and so important to good health?) Many of the
world leaders presidents, prime ministers, their families, their
advisors and their families use daily Colloidal Silver. They
know that they are exposed to extremely contagious disease on
a almost daily basis because they are in the business of travelling
and meeting many people. By taking Colloidal Silver daily, they
can prevent the otherwise certain eventuality of contracting
infectious disease. There is another group of people who are
also Blue Bloods. These are people who may not have their pictures
in newspapers for making global decisions, but they have learned
that sufficient daily Colloidal Silver will make anyone a true
Blue Blood in about a week, preventing infection thereafter
and vastly increasing the chances of surviving a severe burn
injury or an outbreak of biotoxins and also enjoying an increased
rate of healing and better digestion. They can find no other
way so simple, so quick, certain or so cheap.
NO SILVER SPOONS TODAY
A thorough search reveals that today there are no silver
spoons to be found on the market. If one wanted to purchase
real silverware having pure silver on the business, or ladle
end, it would be discovered that it is not available. There
are some brands having silver inlaid in the ladles, but no silver
on the end where it might wear off ever so slightly to the benefit
of the user.
RECOMMENDED DAILY AMOUNTS
Individual response may vary from the average amount of Colloidal
Silver needed for optimum benefit for most people. About 17
per cent, or one sixth of the population will find maximum benefit
from a less than recommended daily amount. And about another
sixth will find they need to take more.
TITRATION
Determining the amount needed.
Begin with the recommended amount of one teaspoon per day. Use
half the recommended amount for young children and one fourth
for babies.
After taking one teaspoon of Colloidal Silver daily for four
days, adults may cut back to one -half teaspoon daily ( and
proportionally, by body weight, for children)
The accepted method is for an adult to consume a 125 ml to 200
ml bottle of Colloidal Silver monthly, in any convenient increment
any time during the month.
In the event a person begins taking Colloidal Silver while
having a cold or flu or for any other virus, bacteria or fungus,
- the daily amount should begin with triple the dosage ( one
teaspoon three times a day) for three days, then follow the
above regimen.
Some people will feel achy and sluggish on the third or fourth
day after beginning Colloidal Silver daily. This is called a
ô healing crisis ô. When the body sluffs off a great many entrenched
toxins at once, the eliminatory organs can become overloaded
in which case it is recommended to drink lots of extra water
this will lessen the symptoms rapidly.
If a person, taking the daily amount, finds that he or she will
still occasionally have an infection, one may even quadruple
the RDD. There should be no danger of overdosing; however, very
few people ever need four times the RDD.
Since prevention is the idea here, one may err on the side of
safety by taking slightly more than a ô perfect minimum because
one never knows when there may be a sudden major outbreak of
some germ in such numbers so as to overwhelm the combined defenses
of an immune system fortified with only a minimum level of Colloidal
Silver. If an attack of germs happens to be stronger than the
immediate combined defense level of the body's natural immune
system plus a particular level of daily Colloidal Silver, one
may feel some illness, or worse.
APPLIED KINESIOLOGY
Applied kinesiology is one other means of determining one's
own individual need for Colloidal Silver, especially if the
individual does not have a cold or other infection to begin
with. Recheck from time to time, but always err on the side
of excess. Kinesiology can be the most effective way to determine
the optimum amount for infants, and very young children also.
BODY BUILDUP AND ELIMINATION
Five to seven days is average for the initial benefit of
Colloidal Silver to begin. Colloidal Silver will build up in
the tissues to at least a concentration of five parts per million
(5 ppm) at, on the average, by the tenth day. This is the minimum
effective concentration. Higher concentrations are desirable,
due to the risks of illness from major exposure to a disease
outbreak or major burn injury.
One to three weeks after cessation ( again this varies with
each individual) the Colloidal Silver effectiveness is finally
lost and is eliminated through the kidneys, the lymphatic system
and the bowel.
COLLOIDAL SILVER AN EXCEPTIONAL
ANTIBIOTIC
Colloidal Silver is the only antibiotic known reportedly
to kill all types of viruses, funguses and bacteria. Colloidal
Silver is also the only antibiotic known to be perfectly harmless
to all parts of the body. Whilst the liver and kidneys can be
harmed by other antibiotics, Colloidal Silver promotes healing.
COMPARE WITH OTHER ANTIBIOTICS
Colloidal Silver is non-toxic to mammals, reptiles, plants
and all living things that are not of a one celled structure.
One-celled life uses a different method of Oxygen metabolism.
herein lies its weakness. Since Colloidal Silver acts only as
a catalyst, meaning , it influences a change in the rate, or
occurrence of a reaction of one-celled organisms, but does not
enter into any chemical reaction with the body tissues. The
mere presence of Colloidal Silver near any virus, fungus or
bacterium (one-celled disease causing pathogens) will immediately
cripple their oxygen-metabolising enzyme, or chemical lung,
which suffocates and dies usually within six minutes. The dead
organism is subsequently cleared out of the body by the immune
and lymphatic system.
Each of the other man made antibiotics will kill only five or
six types of germs. Increasingly more and more bacteria is becoming
resistant to these antibiotics. These bacterium are commonly
referred to as Super Bugs, however they are unable to form a
resistance to Colloidal Silver which will kill not only the
bacteria but also all forms of viruses, a feat no man made antibiotic
has managed to date ! A further draw-back of all other antibiotics
is that they will destroy a variety of the body's essential
enzymes, but Colloidal Silver doesn't, disable or harm in any
way the many different human body enzymes, as these enzymes
are particularly different to the enzymes of single-celled life.
Colloidal Silver actually promotes healing with less resulting
scar tissue. No other antibiotic will do that.
NO DRUG INTERACTION
WITH ANY OTHER MEDICINES OR HERBS
There has never known to have been a silver/drug interaction
of any kind. The allophatic prescription pharmaceuticals of
today are no more likely to react with silver in the body than
did the surprisingly powerful herbs from which they were developed
and used for thousands of years, right along with the silver.
The chemical nature of silver is such that inside the body it
behaves to as to form no compounds that are toxic, and when
already in the colloidal and stabilised state, is even further
removed from any possibility of the tiniest of problems. Colloidal
Silver simply does not react with anything in the body except
a germs oxygen metabolising enzyme.
KILLS RESISTANT PATHOGENIC
STRAINS
Disease organisms can become resistant to regular antibiotics,
triggering dangerous super-infections. Conventional antibiotics
are industrially developed from toxins manufactured by other
bacteria for their own defenses- penicillin being a prime example.
Disease organisms in the body respond to this cultivated toxin
of the conventional antibiotic at about the same rate as they
do to the original organism. This is a long enough time that
a mutation can, and often occur which will make the organism
immune to the particular antibiotic.
Colloidal Silver is claimed to work relatively fast - mostly
within six minutes or less, upon contact within the body- that
these disease causing pathogens have no time to mutate into
a resistant strain as such a mutation requires far longer than
the time silver needs to kill the pathogen. In fact to date
no pathogen or strain thereof, has ever been known to mutate
and develop resistance to silver in several thousand years of
the use of this remarkable substance. To sum up no one celled
organism or plant will ever be able to develop immunity to silver.
HOW DOES COLLOIDAL SILVER
WORK
Body tissues having 5 parts per million (5 ppm) of Colloidal
Silver will be free of virus, fungus and bacterium. Silver particles
are long lived in the body because they do not enter into a
reaction, but act catalytically. A catalyst is a best described
as a substance that brings about, or causes a reaction or occurrence
without itself participating or being consumed. The Colloidal
Silver acts as a catalyst in disabling a particular enzyme,
best described ô chemical lung , as it transfers oxygen and
nutrients through the cell walls of the disease causing organism.
The organism suffocates ! The mere proximity of silver will
cripple the activity of the particular enzyme common to all
viruses, funguses and bacteria.- whilst not affecting the enzymes
of tissue type cells.
WHY IS COLLOIDAL SILVER NON
ALLERGENIC
There have been no allergenic reactions to silver reported
in recorded history of the medicinal use of Colloidal Silver,
because Colloidal Silver only affects the rate and occurrence
of a pathogens oxygen - metabolism activity as described in
the foregoing section. However Colloidal Silver does not react
chemically within the body. Over use of Colloidal Silver has
only one effect, that is so called Argyria which is the development
of gray blue tinge of the fingernails and the skin. What happens
here is simply that the body starts to store the excess silver
in the tissue and collagen, which make up the major part the
finger nails. This condition however has no known detrimental
effect and will disappear once the Colloidal Silver intake is
reduced or discontinued for a while.
HOW HEALING IS ACCELERATED
Mitosis - the usual cell division in body tissue- is when
two new, identical cells are formed. When Colloidal Silver is
present in the body tissue, some of the divisions will be different.
One duplicate cell and one dedifferentiated cell are formed.
The dedifferentiated cell is like a baby cell that can change
into any type of cell in the body. It will naturally migrate
to a part of the body where there is tissue damage, where the
cell changes to a local tissue type cell, adding to the normal
cell repair in the injured area and greatly lessening scar tissue
formation. This accelerated healing benefit of Colloidal Silver
was discovered by Robert O. Becker, MD and was reported in his
book, The Body Electric.
He and his research colleagues observed ô a variety of cells
which are primitive in appearance, looking just like the active
cells in bone marrow of children. These cells grew fast, reproducing
a diverse and surprising assortment of primitive cell forms
including fully dedifferentiated cells and rounded fibroblasts.
Positive Silver Becker states, produces large numbers of dedifferentiated
cells, overcoming the main problem of mammalian regeneration.
Positive Silver accelerates the healing process by over 50 percent.
It is obvious that in the aggregate they profoundly stimulate
soft tissue healing in a way unlike any known natural process
He further stated in his book: positive Silver kills all types
of bacteria exiting because no other single antibiotic worked
uniformly against all types of bacteria. Positive Silver he
says, : offers several advantages over previous antibiotic substances.
There are no ions beside silver to burden the tissues. It works
against all kinds of bacteria simultaneously and even kills
antibiotic resistant strains and fungus infections.
HOW SILVER WORKS AGAINST FUNGUS
A fungus is a series of single cells having tiny tubes of
material on the cell wall stretched between the cells. Whether
more linear in its spread and expand mode or alternatively more
like a fabric in its reproductive mode, a fungus still will
exhibit that same characteristic of a one celled bacterium,
namely that particular type of chemical lung which is immediately,
completely and permanently disabled by the presence of Colloidal
Silver. Any fungus is killed within six minutes of contact with
silver in the body. The Colloidal Silver Simply suffocates it!
HOW SILVER WORKS AGAINST VIRUSES
A single virus will invade a living cell of body tissue,
then this insidious pathogen will take over the nucleus of the
cell and alter its re-productive mechanism to replicate the
virus, instead of the enzyme, hormone or other chemical the
cell would normally have produced for the body within that cell.
Later, the newly produced virus will be released from that cell
into the bloodstream. However another interesting process happens.
As the virus affects the cell for its own purpose, part of the
response of that living cell is that it reverts back to a more
primitive cell structure and chemistry. The oxygen metabolizing
enzyme in the cell wall reverts to a more primitive form also.
This more primitive form of enzyme is vulnerable to the effect
of Colloidal Silver. The catalytic effect of the Colloidal Silver
simply by being near the enzyme of this cell results in that
enzyme becoming permanently disabled. It cannot function to
bring oxygen into the cell and that virus host cell now dies.
This process will take no more than six minutes and the body
will dispose of it as it would any other of the millions of
cells that end their usefulness each day.
DOES SILVER WORK AGAINST AIDS
?
AIDS is caused by a particular type of virus attacking and
destroying the body's immune system. Once that virus invaded
a cell in the body, the cell will respond in exactly the same
way as described before, reverting back to the primitive type
structure and enzyme responsible to act as its chemical lung,
which is promptly crippled by the mere presence of Colloidal
Silver as stated before, the cell suffocates and dies thus denying
the virus to replicate. The Colloidal Silver kills the mutated
cell, virus and all! Colloidal Silver kills not only present
types of viruses, but future forms of any viruses as well. YES,
future ! Because no matter how the virus mutates, it cannot
influence and change the way living body cells will respond
to its invasion.
Colloidal Silver kills all viruses, precluding future mutations
as it also kills the virus invaded cell within six minutes,
and because of its catalytic nature Colloidal Silver is not
affected in the reaction, continuing to kill other single celled
pathogens nearby.
DOES SILVER WORK AGAINST
CANCER ?
The mutation of healthy cells into cancer cells occur continuously,
even in healthy bodies. But such cancer cells are destroyed
by the body's natural immune system at a rate about the same
as they occur, and when the body condition is stable, there
is nothing manifest that a healthy person would experience as
cancer. Some types of Cancer are reported to be caused by a
virus. Like with any virus, upon invading a body tissue cell
it will take over the cells reproductive chemical factory thereby
forcing the cell to replicate the virus instead, the cell will
revert to the primitive state thus enabling the Colloidal Silver
to be effective and kill the cancerous cell. A higher concentration
of Colloidal Silver means more immediate contact with any virus
or other pathogen.
COLLOIDAL SILVER AS A PREVENTATIVE
Colloidal Silver, as a preventative is unsurpassed. Sufficient
Colloidal Silver taken daily precludes infection, disease, contagion
and serious burn toxicity.
IT SERVES AS A SECOND IMMUNE SYSTEM
Taking Colloidal Silver daily is like having a second immune
system. It lessens the load on the body's natural immune system
and effectively kills the many bugs present throughout the body.
In addition, it lessens the toxicity due to the average amount
of germ, virus and fungus activity that occurs naturally in
the body. However, tests prove that, due to the high absorption
of silver in the small intestine, the friendly bacteria in the
large intestine are not affected. The second immune system acts
parallel to, and independent of the body's own first in line
defense - a major advantage in warding off outbreaks of influenza
or any germ plague or pestilence.
IT HELPS IN SEVERE BURN CASES

IT HELPS IN SEVERE BURN CASES
Sufficient daily Colloidal Silver is to have greater than
five parts per million. Recommended is a higher dose titration,
as determined by kinesiology, to an indication toward protection
from all infection. To charge tissues with large amounts of
Colloidal Silver is to be ready for any attack of germ and the
inevitable biotoxins resulting from severe burn injury!
When obtaining Colloidal Silver preparation the strength of
the product must be taken in consideration. Tests have shown
that preparations containing less than 30 parts per million
of silver are not effective, as the amount of Colloidal Silver
needed to bring the body's silver to an effective level would
( with some 5ppm Ag products) require the consumption of two
litres of undiluted product a day! Fortunately, advances in
the manufacturing technology of Colloidal Silver allow the manufacture
of Colloidal Silver with 30 and 50 + mg. of Silver per Litre.
OTHER ESTABLISHED USES OF
COLLOIDAL SILVER
An amazing, yet still only partial list of more than 650
diseases that Colloidal Silver has been used against include
(in alphabetical order):
Acne, AIDS, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis and athletes
foot, bladder infection, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils,
bubonic plagues and burns; cancer, candida, canine parvovirus,
chilblains, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis and cystitis; dandruff
dermatitis, diabetes and dysentery; eczema and encephalitis;
fibrositis; gastritis and gonorrhea; hayfever and herpes; impetigo
and indigestion; keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis
and lyme disease; malaria and meningitis. Also, neurasthenia;
parasitic infection, pleurisy, pneumonia, prostate infection.
pruritis ani, psoriasis and purulent ophtalmia; rheumatism,
rhinitis and ringworm; scarlet fever, septic conditions (eyes
ears,mouth and throat), seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, staph
and strep infections, stomach flu and syphilis; thrush (yeast
infection), thyroid infections, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma,
trench foot and tuberculosis; ulcerated stomach; virus (all
forms) ; warts and whooping cough and yeast infection (females).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SKIN PROBLEMS
While Colloidal Silver is used as a preventative against
viruses, bacteria and funguses through daily oral use; Colloidal
Silver has been also applied directly to open wounds and sores
to eliminate surface infections. Apart from its beneficial effect
Colloidal Silver does not sting or burn. Other antiseptics sting
when applied to a wound because they are killing the surrounding
tissue cells as well as killing the germs. But whilst Colloidal
Silver kills the topical germs within six minutes, it does not
harm any surrounding tissues.
Acne: In addition to omitting sugars,fats
and chocolate from the diet, any person with acne should wash
and rinse the face thoroughly four times a day; and after each
rinsing, use a small amount of Colloidal Silver and massage
it onto the problem areas two to three times with a finger or
a tiny piece of cotton or tissue. This wash- rinse-massage activity
may be continued throughout an acne breakout, or better, as
a continuous prevention through the teen years. This continuous
habit precludes breakouts, leaving the skin continuously clear.
Most people find it helpful to carry a 50ml or 200ml bottle
of Colloidal Silver with them for availability throughout the
day.
Cuts and abrasions: Apply Colloidal
Silver directly to the open wound and onto any dressing used.
Colloidal Silver may be used as the only medication on the dressing,
or it may be used with another medication.
Eczema and skin rash: Dab Colloidal
Silver directly onto affected area, rubbing slightly. Repeat
often to keep the area moist. Bandage lightly, if desired, keeping
the bandage moist with Colloidal Silver. Change bandage daily.
Warts: Cover the wart with a small adhesive bandage saturated
with a few drops of Colloidal Silver. Keep the bandage moist.
The wart should disappear within a few days. Large warts may
take a few days longer to disappear.
RECOMMENDATION FOR INTESTINAL
PROBLEMS
Optimum digestion: Put all,
or a fraction of the recommended daily amount of Colloidal Silver,
as determined by titration, into the beverage of choice accompanying
any meal. As the food is digested, the presence of Colloidal
Silver will keep the food from putrefying in the digestive tract,
killing any germs ingested with the food, and leaving the food
more useable. Also there will be no flatulence.
Parasitic infections: To take an
amount of Colloidal Silver, again as determined by titration
to preclude parasitic diseases caused by tiny, worm like animals
that burrow through a particular organ, or in some cases throughout
the entire body. In every case, these parasites reproduce by
laying eggs and these eggs have the same characteristics of
the oxygen-metabolising enzyme as the single celled bacterium.
These eggs cannot hatch when there is sufficient Colloidal Silver
in the surrounding body tissue. They are killed within a short
time and subsequently eliminated by the immune system. Diarrhea
diseases: A number of diseases such as cholera, canine parvovirus
or other diseases, where the pathogen resides mainly in the
large intestine, can be fatal. The fatality is mostly due to
the dehydration of the body resulting from severe and prolonged
diarrhea and vomiting. The pathogen causing the problem is active
in the large intestine, the one place where Colloidal Silver
when used correctly will not penetrate. There are two different
methods to overcome this barrier.
The first is to take a 200 ml glass dosed with Colloidal
Silver together with three or four big glasses of water on an
empty stomach. This way the Colloidal Silver will get into the
large intestine and should within a short time take care of
the problem.
The other method is by way of colonic irrigation the dose rate
using a 50mg. Colloidal Silver preparation is 15 ml per 200ml.
of sterile water. This method in fact brings the fastest relief
from the disease, Medical literature reports that Cholera has
been cured with Colloidal Silver. Healing crisis: This is a
condition wherein the Colloidal Silver is killing the pathogens
very rapidly. The body's five eliminatory systems, the kidney,
liver, skin, bowel and lungs become temporarily overloaded.
This especially is true in the case of overcoming AIDS with
Colloidal Silver. One may feel as though he or she has the flu.
It is recommended to continue the silver regimen, yet drink
up to 4 liters of water a day, take five or six grams of vitamin
C and a high enema. Repeat for two or three days. Please note
if the healing crisis persists see your local practitioner for
additional advise.
RECOMMENDATION FOR PURIFYING
FOOD & WATER
Water purification: Colloidal
Silver is an excellent water purifier. Water stored with one
or two tablespoons of Colloidal Silver per 5 litres will be
safe and sweet tasting for a very long time. Water containing
germ contaminants (not toxic chemicals) can be made drinkable
by adding two to three tablespoons of Colloidal Silver per every
5 litres of water. The Silver whilst purifying the water is
also beneficial to the body, unlike the commercial tablets containing
toxic chlorine bleach!
To guard against such water-borne diseases such as dysentery,
the following airlines now use either silver water filters or
a well known Hydrogen Peroxide/Colloidal Silver combination.
British Airways, Swiss Air, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa,
Air France, Canadian Pacific Airlines, Alitalia, KLM, Japan
Airlines and Pan Am. The Swiss and Australian Government has
approved either or both the silver water filters or the hydrogen
Peroxide/Colloidal Silver preparation which are now used in
homes offices and town water supplies.
After testing 23 methods of purifying water, NASA selected a
silver system for its space shuttle. Home-canned foods: One-half
teaspoon of Colloidal Silver per 1 litre in home-canned foods
precludes the growth of all bacteria, virus and fungus. As the
food is consumed, the presence of silver will aid in the digestion
process by not allowing fermentation of starches contained in
the food, and will prevent the putrefaction of protein or rancification
of fats in the digestive tract. Neither will there be a formation
of gas in the bowel, nor food decay from toxins to diminish
a sense of well being.
Most commercial food processing operations to date have elected
to use preservatives which, unlike Colloidal Silver, are toxic
and poisonous to people. were these commercial food processors
to use Colloidal Silver instead, it would yield the triple benefit
mentioned above.
Questionable refrigeration: In
addition to keeping prepared foods cool and well sealed, add
about one table spoon of Colloidal Silver per 1 liter (volume)
to picnic foods containing mayonnaise, dairy products, or anything
that has a potential for Salmonella growth and poisoning. Stir
in very well.
Leftovers and Condiments: Mix about
one quarter tablespoon of Colloidal Silver into each container
of mustard, ketchup or pickle relish. Mix one half teaspoon
into items that spoil more easily, i.e. mayonnaise, milk etc.
They will store longer, remain fresher and benefit digestion.
VETERINARY USES OF COLLOIDAL
SILVER
The following conditions in animals, birds and fish have
been successfully treated with Colloidal Silver:
* Bacteria and parasites in house
pets, farm animals and birds.
* Parvovirus in dogs.
* Revival of belly-up goldfish.
* Scours and undulant fever in
cattle.
JAPANESE FIRMS FIGHT AIR POLLUTION
Silver can fight deadly poisons also. Japanese firms have
announced the following startling technologies that use silver
to purify air:
One company converts 50 parts per million of carbon monoxide
into harmless carbon dioxide by passing the gas through a stack
of screens coated with silver compounds. Another uses silver
compounds to remove vinyl cyanide, methyl cyanide and hydrocyanic
acid from its discharges. Finally a gas chemical company removes
all the 200 parts per million of nitric oxide by passing the
gas through its silver compounds.
UNDERSTANDING THE COLLOIDAL
STATE
Most chemistry text books have a chapter on the colloidal
state, as if it were a special case. Actually, the colloidal
state is the only state for all living things.
Within fluid water, the chemical elements of life occur in a
flux of halves, or opposite electrical pairs, always in motion
and swapping these molecular halves in complex chemical reactions
that are the process of growth and repair. In this flux of the
body's fluids are the germ pathogens also, whose own molecular
pairs interact with those of the body as they strive to survive.
They are all parasites that attack and eat the body cells of
the host person, dumping their waste into the surrounding tissues
and the bloodstream. When this fluid flux contains an electrically
charged ion or micro-particle of Colloidal Silver, it selects
from among the tissue cells of the body only those disease causing
pathogens and suffocates them catalytically, simply by being
there; then, unaffected drift on, to repeat the process again
and again.
The crystalline state is the condition of dry, dead matter.
Most medications are in the crystallized state. The body must
first convert them to the colloidal state before they can be
used. There is some expense to the body in time, energy and
effectiveness. During this process some molecular pieces are
left over, which burden the body with their need to be eliminated.
In the case of Colloidal Silver, nothing is left!
CHARACTERISTICS OF COLLOIDAL
SILVER
Colloidal Silver will react chemically with many of the 92
natural elements and compounds. While many of these compounds
are toxic, pure silver is non-toxic. It acts only catalytically
with the enzyme, or chemical lung of single celled organisms.
Pure Silver won't dissolve in water, however if pure silver
is by some process divided into single atoms of micro-clusters
of fewer than 15 atoms each, given a positive electrical charge
and attached to a molecule of simple protein, it will float
in and throughout the pure water indefinitely, creating a so
called colloidal suspension. The force of electric charge is
stronger than the force of gravity, thus the particle remains
suspended. Much has been written and claimed by people displaying
a fair amount of ignorance of the workings of a colloidal substance
mainly with regard to the color of colloidal silver. True colloidal
silver is a colorless liquid because the micro-clusters of the
silver are simply too small for light to reflect back to the
human eye ( the particular wave length of the reflected light
determines the color we perceive) Many manufacturers not being
able to make a true colloidal silver preparation resort to using
food or other coloring agents to give the liquid a yellow appearance
because they somewhere have read that colloidal silver should
have a color to its liquid.
Color will be noticed if one of the following conditions are
present:
* The Silver used is of a silver
sulfide type and not very healthy (yellow, mainly used in the
ceramic industry)
* The Silver used is Silver Oxide
(brownish, black in color)
* The particles are too big in
size
* Food or other coloring dyes were
used
* If the silver loses its colloidal
state and precipitate out of solution (mainly black) in this
case the product will have lost its efficacy and should be disposed
of as contrary to some advise to shake the bottle will not revert
the silver particles to a colloidal state.
People are best advised to stay clear of these products as
they are in many cases of dubious quality and most certainly
have little or no beneficial effect. If you have any doubt regarding
the actual colloidal silver content, ask the vendor for a Batch
Sample Silver Analyses. Reputable manufacturers will have Health
Department approval for their manufacturing facilities and have
their Colloidal Silver batches analyzed and the result of same
available for their customers.
CARE AND STORAGE OF COLLOIDAL SILVER
Keep Colloidal Silver in the food storage, store it in glass
containers only and away from electrical appliances. Although
glass breaks easier, glass is the only material that will keep
Colloidal Silver for any length of time. DO NOT accept Colloidal
Silver packaged in plastic as its shelf life is minimal and
the silver particles most likely will plate out on the surface
and hence are no longer in suspension. There is an inherent
electric charge in the hydrocarbon molecule that will draw the
charged silver particle out of solution, bonding it to the side
wall of the plastic container! You may not see it but it's there
all right. The preparation is then unusable.
Do not store Colloidal Silver in a refrigerator or freezer,
as the long term electric charge of the appliance can have the
same effect on colloidal silver as does storing it in a plastic
container.
WHEN IT MAY BE THE ONLY THING
AVAILABLE
Some people believe there may be a time in the foreseeable
future when food storage may be the only means of antibiotic/disinfectant
for any of us. Life would be very different then, with many
items unavailable, and a storage of Colloidal Silver could be
life saving.
A very different condition in the future could be rampant diseases,
plagues from contamination's of the water and air through man
made Bio-toxins of germ warfare (as seen in the Strecker Memorandum
video) Whatever the source, either invasion or local error any
military activity can result in a major outbreak of anthrax
or lesser causes resulting in Salmonella poisoning. Another
extreme threat for our immediate future is the emergence of
so called Super Bugs. Because of the current over-use of pharmaceutical
antibiotics today, many virus and bacteria organisms will be
immune to the conventional medicines!
Colloidal Silver is not only a way of prevention now, but may
possible be our best choice to store for future use.
MEDICAL STUDIES AND OTHER
TESTING
Colloidal Silver and illness: The author of body Electric
Dr. R.Becker, noted in his studies a correlation between low
silver levels and illness: Those who had low silver levels frequently
were sick more often with colds, flu, fever and other illnesses.
He said he believes a silver deficiency is the reason for the
improper functioning of the immune system and that silver is
critical for the destruction of bacteria and viruses. Becker's
experiments conclude that silver works on a wide range of bacteria
without any side effects and without any damage to the cells
of the body. Colloidal Silver and healing: Becker also states
that the silver ion was doing something more than killing disease
causing organisms. It was, he observed, facilitating major growth
stimulation of injured tissues. When human fibroblast cells,
which are common throughout the body, were exposed to silver,
they differentiated. That is, they changed into an embryonic
general cell, able to multiply at a great rate and then change
into the specialized cells of the organ or tissue that had been
injured. Even in patients over the age of 50 years, tissues
healed as easily as a child's tissues.
Colloidal State and Cancer: Again Becker concluded that in the
presence of silver ion, cancer cells change back to normal cells
regardless of their location in the body. He concluded that
the presence of silver ion regenerates tissues and eliminates
cancerous cells as well as eliminating other abnormal cells.
Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom of Sweden's Karolinska Institute has
used silver in his cancer cure methods for many years. he records
that he has successfully cured patients who had been diagnosed
by other doctors as terminally ill. Swimming pool water purification:
Silver is widely used to purify swimming pool water, and it
does not sting as does chlorine. A dramatic demonstration in
Nebraska recently placed 250 litres of raw sewage into a pool
containing no disinfectant. A standard measure of fecal contamination
is the count of Escheri coli ( E. coli) and organism found in
the human intestinal tract. The count soared to 7000 colony
forming E coli cells per milliliter of water. Subsequently the
water was flushed through a silver electrode array, which totally
eliminated the E.coli within three hours. Follow-up tests also
shown the water to be completely free of other one-celled organisms.
Hydroponics testing: Tests in a hydroponics greenhouse showed
that Colloidal Silver is absorbed and used by the living plant
as are any other minerals. Hydroponics is an ideal gardening
method having only one problem: Viruses, funguses and bacteria
tend to thrive in the plant nutrient fluid. Colloidal Silver
is proven to kill every one of the pathogens, and without any
consequence to the nutrient medium or to the delicate plants.
In addition, the plants ingested the silver through their roots,
thus becoming a source of the silver minerals for human consumption.
Overdose testing: In laboratory
tests since 1985 researchers knew that overdose testing needed
to be performed. One lab technician involved in the project
from the beginning, volunteered himself as a guinea pig for
the first project. He consumed 1 liter of water dosed with a
high concentration of Colloidal Silver for a period of several
weeks. The chemistry of his body fluids was monitored, as was
his general well being (colds flu headaches etc. ). He was especially
observed for any change in skin color to see if the technicians
skin would develop a gray pallor of Argyria. He had no change
of color in his skin, felt more vigorous and alert and experienced
no aches or colds etc. Others in the laboratory repeated the
test themselves finding the same results.
UCLA study: It is claimed that
some years ago an independent research laboratory sent to the
University of California in Los Angeles a sample of Colloidal
Silver to be tested against AIDS and anthrax. UCLA undertook
the tests and proved conclusively that Colloidal Silver was
highly effective in remedial applications against both disease
pathogens. The independent researcher has obtained the same
results in his own laboratory, and sought confirmation from
UCLA. When the UCLA laboratory director called to confirm those
findings, the director of the independent laboratory asked to
have as the test results on a letter bearing the UCLA letterhead.
However he was advised that a payment of U$ 10,000 was required
for this letter. The UCLA lab report confirming the effectiveness
remains unofficial.
