as far as CS goes, yes i made it myself for several years. i had pnuemonia and mono in a short period and then had a persistent low level fever for several years, it never quite left. i tried all different kinds of cleanses, nothing worked. finally someone turned me on to CS, and that was the key. fasting with just herb tea mixed with CS healed me of the low level fever that nothing else could. but i still think that there came a point when it became toxic for me and i had to move on to other things, but yes in dire situations, it may be the only thing that works. someone with "bird flu" (whatever the heck that is) or something would do much better with CS than with anything the gov has offer.
also there are many ways to make it, it may be that using high power tools will create a CS with smaller colloids, who knows? i was using 3, 9 volts and some silver wire.
