Copper Kills E. Coli Dead

It ain't easy being green, specially on this board (facepalm). The antibacterial effects are well documented though.

Have you ever heard of Silverlon bandages?

They have silver filaments woven into them, and they are used to regrow skin on burn victims, without skin grafting.

There are also silverlon socks for diabetics to control foot ulcers.

You never hear about somebody who works around animals and animal manure getting sick from e coli - it's always some city dweller.

Warm-blooded animals, including humans, have E. coli in their guts. The hemorrhagic forms of E. coli are a problem because they have picked up the gene to make Shiga toxin (normally produced by Shigella, which cause dysentery). The reason that certain animals can carry hemorrhagic forms of E. coli is that they don't have a receptor to bind the toxin; without the receptor, the toxin has no effect. Humans have the receptor and therefore become quite ill. (A toxin fits into a receptor like a key into a lock; if the key doesn't fit the lock, nothing can happen.)

Anyway, there is a persistent hypothesis that "over-sanitizing" things leads to allergies. It sounds plausible; the immune system normally would be stressed by encounters with various parasites, but without contacting those, it becomes over-active and begins to produce antibodies that attack innocuous substances.

Ahhh...Horseshoe Crabs. The real blue bloods.

I was a sheep farmer, with at times over 400 sheep after lambing. My grandfather was a hired hand on an Angus selective breed improvement farm from 1922 to 1961, when he died.

I've seen just about every way for an animal to die from disease, accidents, and metabolic wierd stuff.

I lost most of my sheep due to sheep getting turned onto their backs. A sheep will get fat on pasture, fall asleep after eating lush growth, and the stomach gasses will blow up their belly, causing a slow rotation of the torso. Once they awaken, they can't right themselves and die of congestive heart / lung failure. During lush pasture periods we would turn out our red heeler just to scare the sheep into mobility late at night about once every three hours. My dogs were good at spotting those four legs straight up in the air.

FWIW, Molybdenum binds with copper. The body does not recognize molybdenum. It passes right thru your blood chemistry. So...........If you have a copper toxicity problem you feed molybdenum to them in their mineral mix. It will strip copper out of the liver and eliminate it in the stool and urine.

The caveat to that is you need to know what you're doing because copper deficiency presents almost the exact same symptoms as copper toxicity.

Since I use Meso Silver I ordered Meso Copper however my gastro Dr told me it was a big no no. I still trust & believe in Liq Silver totally & am not blue. Liq Silver kills many kinds of staph & has worked countless times for me. Honey, (raw is best) works wonders too.

I never knew that could happen with an illness or a metabolic disruption. I did know that you would die if you ate a Polar Bear liver. I think I saw that on some animal show. See... I learned something. Thanks!

Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) is copper clad from waterline to keel for precisely that reason.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Its structure consist of -[Ag-CN]- chains in which the linear two-coordinate Ag+ ions, typical of silver(I) and other d10 ions are bridge by the cyanide ions. (This is the same binding mode as seen in the more famous case of Prussian blue.) These chains then pack hexagonally with adjacent chains ofset by +/- 1/3 of the “c” lattice parameter. This is the same as the structure adopted by the high temperature polymorph of copper(I) cyanide. The silver to carbon and silver to nitrogen bond lengths in AgCN are both ~2.09 Å[1] and the cyanide groups show head-to-tail disorder.[2

Oh sure!

That's easy for you to say.

The “fancy” silver rigs are $100. They differ from yours. They have a limiting circuit built in that lowers the current flow as the silver ions in water increase while you make colloidal silver. This ion increase makes your silver water more conductive. Your system does not take this into account. His does

This guy is good and conservative-libertarian. He has them for $100 that work on both 110AC and 9v batteries. If you call him he will explain what his limiting circuit does. He does not mind phone calls.

Thanks for the info.

I think you are talking about tin. Tin was TOO effective as it would leach off the boats and kill everything below it.

[dennisw]

I’m not joking. You can see all kinds of “ionic silver” rigs for $200 on up. But the guy who makes the silver puppy delivers for about $100. It will produce clear ionic “colloidal” silver water.You test that water with a cheapo pen laser and certain inexpensive test meters

When you don’t have a current limitation circuit the silver clumps together and eventually becomes yellow looking if you keep going. You don’t want the silver clumping. You want it as divided, dispersed as possible

This Australasian site is very informative. He sells circuitry he gets from the “silver puppy” maker in America http://www.colloidalsilver.com.au/
