Why, why, why, why, why, oh why?: It was the salmon mousse

Sorry for being away so long. I'm mid way through a series of specialists with, um, one, two, three, four, um, several things wrong with me. Somehow I've managed to avoid that bony bloke in the black cowl, but I'm due for a date with a rather sharp knife at some point and I'm hurriedly trying to annul my donor card lest the hospital want my liver, kidneys and something else. Not that they'd want my liver, by the way; not because of alcohol abuse, you understand, but something hereditarily unpleasant. (that's confused the spell checker.)

Also in the future is a date with a brain scanning machine. I'm not sure what they hope to find, the neuro psychologist already confirmed that there isn't anything in there ... at least, not between the ears, and during the haemorrhoid examination the bloke with the rather cold, metal thing confirmed that there wasn't much to see in there either ... and as a chiropodist is about the only specialist that isn't on the current list of people I'm due to have stick a finger down my throat and ask me to go, "Aahhhhh....." (trust me, when a urologist does that, it's bleedin' scary) that's probably where my last remaining brain cell has migrated to.

I think I've given enough blood this last few months to feed a Twilight fan for a year.

Probably the only good thing that could come of this is that if I snuff it, then the literary agents who have hitherto not responded to my film script will probably start sniffing around like a pack of blood hounds who have an addiction for True Blood; not that I'll see any recompense for that, except perhaps for a better quality casket and maybe they'd stretch to the Beach Boys singing at my send off. Just so long as some bright spark doesn't direct them to sing, "Do You Like Worms," at my funeral.

So, in the intervening moments I thought I'd delurk to wave a zombified hand ... (donk) ... arm to you folks and say .... "uuuurrrggghhh."

MsKnight -

Boy, have you come to the right place!

I was formerly Director of BioEngineering Research for a couple of BioMedical companies (not counting my own), and I've been spouting health tips to these poor members until they're sick of my posts.

In the past week, it's been discovered (and reported) that Grape Seed Extract, available via Internet or even at health food stores is effective at killing 74% of leukemial cells in 24 hours *AND* that it kills H. Pylori, the cause of stomach ulcers and other intestinal infections.

I'm also following Colloidal Silver and its large variety of applications, everything from the HIV-1 virus to the Malarial parasite to the common cold, Colloidal Silver has demonstrated itself capable of killing every pathogen they've tried it on.

How it works is difficult to explain (unless you're familiar with Quantum Mechanics), but basically tiny clusters of silver atoms, each with an indeterminate valence, ends up acting like a "master key" capable of opening every lock.

More accurately, there are surprisingly few enzymes that pathogens of all sorts use to breach cell membranes and cell walls, and those enzymes get re-used by various pathogens that are otherwise unrelated (e.g., "Sudden Oak Death" and the Malarial larval stage both use the same enzyme, one to infect oak cells, the other to infect red blood cells). Enzymes' have "active sites" which are spatial distributions of electrical fields, and due to the nature of the silver atoms' "indecisive valence" and unstructured cluster, the silver atoms in the cluster rearrange themselves to accommodate the pathogenic enzymes' spatial distribution of electrical fields, and it ends up "jamming" itself into the pathogens' "active site", precluding it from being able to attack cells (think, "muzzling a dog's mouth").

Colloidal Silver is available via the internet for $70/gallon, delivered, and even when ill, you seldom need more than an ounce/day to get better. (At this dose, people with acute malaria get cured in an average of five days.) I recommend 10 parts-per-million concentration, as beyond 14 ppm, the clusters of silver atoms tend to start clumping together, and it's most-effective when the clusters are in the range of 1 - 10 nanometers (billionths of a meter) in diameter. Since an average atom is about 0.2 nanometers in diameter, the number of silver atoms per cluster range from a few dozen to a few hundred silver atoms, each.

The FDA and Large Pharmaceutical companies would prefer this information *not* get out, as Colloidal Silver can be made at home (NOT RECOMMENDED!!!) and so can't be regulated by the FDA, and Large Pharmaceutical companies absolutely *hate* the concept that something they can't patent can treat illnesses that their most-expensive antibiotics can't touch.

Since they can't actually *stop* people from learning about Colloidal Silver, their chosen path is to use scare tactics to keep people from trying it for themselves, publishing websites featuring pictures of people who've massively-overdosed on "colloidal silver", the only effect being that their skin has turned blue ("Argyria"). These people fall into two categories: 1) Idiots who've made their own "colloidal silver" at God-knows-what concentration and drank it all day long like it was iced tea, and 2) patients who were victimized by injections of pure silver by quack doctors.

How to prevent getting Argyria? Buy Colloidal Silver at 10 ppm (parts-per-million) concentration, and avoid taking 700 gallons of it. Or, if you're forgetful, like me, stop taking it at the first sign that you're turning blue, and you won't get any bluer.

O-kay....

MsK, we should have mentioned that Wm gets really excited at the sight of people's illnesses.
But, like, in a good way, in a I-can-help-you-while-simultaneously-freak-you-out way.

...He means well.. :)

Good to hear from you anyhow! I hope you'll be able to update us on your clean bill of health very soon!

It's great that you're keeping your spirits up!

And you know, coming here has proven itself to be a welcome distraction...

Not for a second!

Would you like us to perform some sort of act for your amusement?
There's a karaoke contest going on in some other thread...

I've got arthritis in my lower spine. It's not fun. I'll be going for an osteoporosis screening at some point, since tomorrow I'm *officially* menopaused and they don't do the tests until then. At least now I can make an appointment! I've been begging for one ever since the arthritis was diagnosed; both my mother and her mother lost inches (plural) to osteoporosis, and I'd like to avoid that. They'll probably also insist on a colonoscopy. Joy.

Good luck with all your tests and treatments. I hope all goes well.

Good luck to you too MrsT!

Stretch and hold; stregthen those abs. Get your chest to the floor with legs streached out. You do not have to have surgery until last straw. I still can't move without stretching first thing in AM watching news. (Hurrah for Titanium.)

I recommend Resveratrol to slow/reverse aging, Colloidal Silver for infections of all sorts, Grape Seed Extract for various gastro-intestinal issues, and Vitamin D (2000 IU/day) to prevent cancer, enhance bone density and maintain muscle strength indefinitely.

Not just to msK, but to everyone.

Oh, didn't I tell you to do sets. Sorry.



I will regret this, but what is reversetrol?

Resveratrol is an extract of red/purple grape skins.

It has several beneficial properties, the most significant being that it adds about 30% to the average lifespan of everything they've tried it on, from flatworms to lab rats, and the added time is added "youthful" time, not just more years staring at the walls of hospitals.

How it works isn't known yet, but it seems to enable cells to burn fuel more efficiently, as it is in one's youth.

Its most dramatic impact is on us "couch potatoes", enabling us old & fat people to have similar endurance to those annoying skinny people who actually work-out at the gym.

It costs about $200/year via the internet, at 325mg/day doses. Whisper me if interested, and I'll tell you where I get mine. (I don't want people to think I have a vested interest in the stuff - I don't make a penny from any sale of anything I recommend, and don't own any stock in any company other than Boeing, having worked there for a few years.)

It's tricky to find good suppliers, because it's expensive, so suppliers of supplements often mix it with other supplements (which are often of dubious value) and they quote the amount of the *mixture* in each pill. It looks like a good deal until you look carefully at the actual Resveratrol in the pill, and a "500mg Resveratrol supplement" ends up actually having perhaps 15mg of Resveratrol in it.

In my experience, though, it works, and the "placebo effect" can't explain how my grey hairs turned back to their normal color.

What is the problem ith yeast overgrowth?

Grapes make me fat. I eat way too many of them. They're so good, I just can't stop! I love cherries and fresh blueberries and strawberries, too. I must be deficient in something they all have (freshness, perhaps?), because they are just as addictive to me as sugar.

But I can consider taking reservatrol. (Zelda, I like your inadvertent typo: reversatrol. Might be a better name for it.)

Resveratrol was what I recommended, and it doesn't have calories (or encourage yeast infections).

For the record, you can't get enough Resveratrol from eating grapes to make any difference in your health. If you want to live longer and healthier, you have to take supplements.
