I read of a method that uses three 9-volt batteries to dissolve the silver in water, and the raw material for the silver was pre-1964 dimes.
How expensive could that be?
How...moebius...
Colloidal gold....or just drink Goldschlager? :P
Many years ago I worked with a girl who was descended from either a Hatfield or McCoy, I can’t remember which one.
I always thought this was fascinating because she had a photo of her great grandmother, who was the Hatfield/McCoy descendant.
This lady (the great-grandmother of my friend) had married a black man (they were in this photo together) , and I guess in those days, on top of being a Hatfield or a McCoy, you just didn’t do that. So they left the mountains, and moved to Cali, then to Hawaii.
At that time, I was researching my own genealogy and my family’s journey from NC, thru the Cumberland Gap, into TN and later down into Alabama. So she brought her photos in to show me.
My friend had an interesting photo of her family, taken when she was a toddler. It was a 4 generations photo. In this picture, her grandfather,(son of the Hatfield/McCoy lady) looked somewhat black in features, though very light in color.
My friend’s mother looked mixed, sorta, with long curly brown hair, but in Hawaii it was not all that different, but you could still sort of tell. But she could have easily passed if this had been back in the day. (She married a white man in college. He was from the South, which was another interesting twist in the story, as this brought the family back to the South after all those years in Hawaii.)
Then in the photo, my friend as a small child. She was startlingly white, with beautiful long tousled curly jet black hair, I mean, it was the pretties hair I had ever seen.
Of course, I knew her as an adult. My friend herself had a daughter, a red head with very fair skin and not a curl in her hair anywhere. When I knew her, this was some years ago, and the daughter had had 2 boys. One was very fair, with red straight hair, and one had slightly tanned looking skin, pretty brown curly hair.
I always thought that was an interesting slice of Appalachia.
I had my DNA (and most of my immediate family) checked a couple years ago. My male (yDNA-father) is R1b DYS390-23...Which indicates I am a Dane who immigrated to Ireland, maybe as a Viking.
Now, it gets interesting with my Female (mtDNA-mother) her/my mtDNA is from haplogroup 'V', fairly rare in the world but 52% of the Skolt Sa'ami (Laplanders, reindeer herders) are haplogroup 'V'. (How did a reindeer herder from Finland wind up a farm girl in SE Alabama?)
My dad's mother, Mrs Smith, is haplogroup U5a, the same as 9,000 year old Cheddar Man.
Now that IS interesting!
“Man turns BLUE after he self-medicates for a skin condition”
Yep, it happens if a person depends on colloidal silver instead of
antibiotics.
Silver nitrate was just about the best antibiotic until penicillin
came along (a son of Calvin Coolidge perished from a sepsis due to
an injury to his foot he sustained during a trivial tennis match).
Antibiotics should not be over/mis-used. But they are a gift
of technological advances, even via G-d if you’ve dodged an infection
that would have meant an amputation of a leg/arm or death in the 1800s
or the early 1900s.
