Re: CS measurements ?!

Ditto what James is saying:  There is no constant relationship
between mS and ppm.  That is why a tds cannot, ever, tell ppm.  It
can only be used to give an idea of what ppm 'may' be if one has a
very stable generator and all parameters are kept the same, and the
ppm was tested by other means.  The tds can not tell what the
particle sizes are and what ratio of different particle sizes may be
in the sample, so it cannot tell what ratio of mS to ppm to use due
to the change of conductivity.

Re: CSSolutions Colloids Ions.

1999-09-17 Thread Ivan Anderson
Thanks for your input Guenter,

Some things you state need to be clarified.
Most colloids as far as I know are made from positive or negative
ions. Colloids formed from uncharged particles tend to flocculate
and precipitate rather quickly. These colloids however do not
bind together tightly when they settle and can be redispersed by
stirring (eg paint).

I have never heard of H+ or OH- being trapped in a colloid
particle. Generally the particle is surrounded by a layer of
neutralising polar water molecules (Stern Layer) which travels
with the particle.
In the electrolysis of silver Ag+ ions are formed at the anode,
it is these that form the colloid.

You write:
 What does this mean for our CS?
 With low voltage direct current (LVDC) we detach silver ions
from the
 silver rod connected to the (positive) anode. In our solution
we have
 then silver ions Ag+, H+ and OH-. But when the Ag+ travel
through the
 water, some of them recombine with the OH- and form neutral
AgOH
 molecules.

There are very small amounts of H+ and OH- in water pH7. During
CS generation (electrolysis) the H+ ions are attracted to  the
negative electrode and the OH- to the positive electrode which
have a far higher potential than the silver ions.

Then:
These molecules now lump together and include H+ ions. These
 positively charged colloids repel each other and prevent the
formation
 of larger particles or even precipitation of the whole stuff.
 The faster the colloids are formed the more H+ ions are
included, the
 stronger is the repulsion which leads to smaller colloids.
Adding salts
 to a colloidal solution means adding of foreign ions which are
attached
 to the colloids and disturb the repulsion. Precipitation will
result.

Why would neutral AgOH attract H+ ions? As the H+ ions are
reduced at the cathode and escape the solution as hydrogen gas,
it is likely that the longer the electrolysis proceeds the less
the available H+ ions. I doubt if there is much AgOH if any.

Also:
 I think with LVDC we generate colloidal silver oxide which is
formed
 from the AgOH by chemical transformation.

Silver oxide is very unstable and disassociates with mild
heating. In order to create AgO from AgOH we need O- radicals
which are very few and far between in pure water.

 If one wants to generate metallic colloids one has to use a
different
 process: One has to evaporate metallic silver by sparking under
water,
 by evaporating silver with a energetic laser beam, by
ultrasound etc.
 These silver atoms, dispersed in water, also lump together, but
 typically include OH- ions.

Most of these methods produce silver ions I believe.

Comments?

 Hello,
 let me contribute with what I have learned in chemistry. Many
things
 have been stated already many times in this list. I will try to
clarify
 some statements:

 Ions and colloidal particles both are charged, but they are
different.

 - Metallic ions are formed when one or more electrons are
stripped from
 the outer surface of the uncharged metallic atom. Such an ion
is then
 positively charged. (It is also possible, but much more
difficult, to
 attach an ion to a metallic atom to generate a negatively
charged ion).
 Ions are also often formed by breaking a molecule into two
radicals.
 If the electrons are unevenly divided, one part (with too much
 electrons) becomes a negative ion, the other one (with lacking
 electrons) becomes a positive one.
 Water is an excellent medium to penetrate into salt molecules
and breaks
 it into ions (kitchen-salt NaCl is broken into Na+ and Cl-;
also water
 itself H2O breaks into H+ and OH- ).

 - Colloidal particles are formed by uncharged atoms or
molecules. In the
 formation process they lump together, bound loosely e.g. by
water
 bridges, but can fasten the bonds by chemical activity. These
giant
 molecules are formed so quickly that H+ or OH- (depending on
the kind of
 colloid) are caught and also built into the loose structure and
gives
 the colloidal particle its charge.

Would you call that a hydrated silver, or is it a different thing  when the 
hydroxyl and the proton are separated?  Do you know where I can learn about 
the geometry of this substance?

If there were not an equal number of both bound into a given group, you 
could have an Ag sol with a negative charge as well as a positive charge. 
 That would make some of them stick together?

clump into small clusters?

 which are attached
to the colloids and disturb the repulsion. Precipitation will result.

I don't know about that, but I do know that high currents will make Ag 
particles  which will precipitate without much of anything else in the 
water.

I think with LVDC we generate colloidal silver oxide which is formed
from the AgOH by chemical transformation.

Isn't silver oxide relatively insoluble in water?   This would leave a lot 
of protons.  The sol would become acid?

Are any of the folks on the list building the laser devices?   Will they 
work with 3 9V batteries?

To improve the insulation of the colloids from each other, and not only
rely on the electric repulsion, some companies manage to cover the
colloids with a skin of organic compounds, e.g. proteins.

To what group of colloids the HVDC or HVAC CS is belonging, I have no
idea.

Hopefully this helps to clarify,

Thanks,  I will have to think about this more.

  if a single-atom ion is a colloid, then what distinguishes

A single-atom ion is in solution. But it is difficult to achieve this. 
 Water OZ claim this feature, using laser ablation I believe, the trick 
being to cool and arrest the agrigation of the single atomic ions. A 
colloid by definition has particles 1 nm or larger in size, which therefore 
must contain multi-atom particles.

Ivan, would you please run distinction between the two by me again.  What

 One would need to add protons to create a positive charge,
which
 would create a different element? Hydrogen ions (protons) have
a
 positive charge and are unlikely to combine with silver (there
 are no silver hydrides). They are more likely to be reduced at
 the cathode as hydrogen gas.

 JOH:   I am suggesting not that the proton enters the nucleus
of a silver
 atom to create a new element, but that it may be somehow
associated---is
 that vague enough?---with the metallic Ag cluster.  Some of the
hydrogen
 bubbles off at the electrode; some stays in solution as ionized
water,
 balancing the pair of oxygen atoms.  Isn't pH the log of the
number of free
 protons in the solution?   If the electrolysis current took an
extra
 electron rather than donating on it would leave a proton.
Could some of
 them be contributing to the plus charge on/around(?) the silver
cluster?
Yes pH is the negative log of free H+ ions. At pH 7 there are an equal
number of H+ ions and OH- ions. When a potential is applied in the water,
the H+ ions head straight for the Negative electrode where they are
supplied with an electron, combine and head for the surface as Hydrogen
gas. There are no free oxygen ions in water. Water molecules are not
disassociated easily.  There are no free electrons in the water (electrons
can't swim, as one text put it).
So there is not much that can happen to the silver other than to lose
electrons at the anode and regain them at the cathode, and exist as silver
ions in between.
 Ian:
 Silver Colloid particles are agrigates of either single silver
 ions (simple ions) creating complex ions, or simple ions and
 metallic atoms which will have a charge lower than the former.
 Monoatomic ions are reactive because of their size, multiatomic
 ions are able to accept more electrons per particle.


 JOH:  What is the difference between a complex silver ion and
a metallic
 silver colloid particle?  Or, what is the difference between
multiatomic
 ions---and a colloid?   If multiatomic ions are able to accept
more
 electrons than a bit of metal, doesn't that make them more
reactive?  Is
 there a difference between a multiatomic silver ion and a
charged metallic
 silver particle?  Are we making some of both?

A complex ion, or multiatomic ion, is an agrigate of monatomic ions. The
charge on this particle is the same as the charge on one atom times the
number of atoms it is composed of. A metallic silver colloid particle has
no charge.
A colloid may be composed of multiatomic ions, or metallic particles, or a
combination of both. The term colloid describes the state that exists
between between particles and solvant. This mostly means the suspended
particles must be of a particular size, where they will not easily settle
out or cannot be thought to be dissolved.
When I mention multiatomic ions I mean a particle composed of monatomic
ions. A charged metallic particle suggests a particle that has lost one or
more electrons but has more first valency electrons that it could loose. In

If you are going for a long run and are worried about wasting water, you
can get it started this way, use the water to transfer to whatever you

caught a day where the ambient temperature was what I wanted the fish

Just a thought!

Hi Steve,

Boiling water warps CDsbut you must have meant DC.

All I know about the subject is that the fellow who built the machine 
recommends about 75-80 for optimal production of  particles. Generally, 
reactions of any type occur faster at higher temperatures.  After all, temp 
is the vibratory rate of the substance.  Speaking very simply, I think. 
 Anytime you can control one variable, you know the changes are coming from 
others.  In that sense, having the same start temp will be beneficial with 
any voltage or frequency.   How it will change particle size and yield has 
not yet been published.

When I made LVDC the cloud formed denser faster when the temperature was 
higher.  My guess is that boiling the water will change its chemistry, a 
big pot of boiling water is dangerous,  it is an additional energy use in 
the production of the silver and since it can be done without it, why 
bother.

I use 80F.  I try to keep it the same, within about a half a degree so that 
I will know that variations are caused by other factors.  I am using a 
Taylor glass thermometer which is supposed to be accurate to about one 
tenth of a degree, but the resolution is not much better than a half a 
degree.

Incidentally, do you know what happens when you put a cool thermometer in a 
warm liquid?   The stuff in the thermometer expands, right?  Wrong.  The 
glass expands; the column drops slightly, initially.

Happy dispersing...

RE: CSHigh Concentration HVAC CS--additional comments

1999-09-17 Thread James Osbourne, Holmes
Hello Ian,

The cones are quite high; at least 3/8 inch.  I will measure them carefully 
next run.  I had a setback today; my Spec. stopped working and I spent a 
lot of time figuring out it was the light source, because I got an Ohms 
reading through a burned-out bulb.

I have become accustomed to using PPM because that is what most everyone on 
the list uses.  I don't have a direct formula to convert mS to PPM, but I 
will get one.  My meter displays either.

Microsiemens are a measure of conductance; it is the Ohm---unit of 
resistance, upside down; the reciprocal or 1/Ohms.  It is used to describe 
the purity of water: the lower the mS reading, the less other things it has 
in it, and the less conductive it is.  PPM meters are conductivity meters 
calibrated in PPM, based on a particular solute, for example most of them 
use a solution of salt of a given concentration to calibrate.   Different 
solutes will actually have a different PPM when matching the conductivity 
of salt, but it is close enough for most work.

The water I am producing currently measures 0.4 [zero point four]  mS. 
  That is about 17 times purer than the 7 mS water.
Bruce says a starting water of about 0.8 is optimal.  I am adding CACO3 to 
improve conductivity, but I don't know what the CO3 is doing in the 
process.

Send the water and some of your silver; I will do a PPM test on both the 
water and the sol.  For a limited control, you could also have Bob Berger 
test it.

Thank you for your offer of help.

James, how high are the cones that you are pulling?  I tried several
different brands of distilled water up here in Toronto locally.  There is
only one brand that consistently allows me to pull cones about 3/8 to 1/2 
from the surface.  (Crystal Springs) They measure their dissolved solids by 
something called microsiemens, whatever they are, (don't know)  and they 
say
theirs is less than 12, and usually about 7.  A local fellow has tried 
using
his distiller, pre and post filtering with carbon, then double distilling
and triple distilling but he hasn't yet been able to do any better than the 
off brands of distilled that I buy which only pull cones 1/16 to 1/8 
high.
I think Bruce has consistently said that the quality of the water you start 
with sure makes a big difference.

I could probably ship 4 liters of the stuff to you for you to try out and a 
pint of the product for you to test if you want.  I'd be interested in
knowing how you make out with it.  Email me privately if you wish this.

Subject:Re: CSSolutions Colloids Ions...was CS information needed

Guenter:Hello,
let me contribute with what I have learned in chemistry. Many things
have been stated already many times in this list. I will try to clarify
some statements:

Ions and colloidal particles both are charged, but they are different.

- Metallic ions are formed when one or more electrons are stripped from
the outer surface of the uncharged metallic atom. Such an ion is then
positively charged. (It is also possible, but much more difficult, to
attach an ion to a metallic atom to generate a negatively charged ion).
Ions are also often formed by breaking a molecule into two radicals.
If the electrons are unevenly divided, one part (with too much
electrons) becomes a negative ion, the other one (with lacking
electrons) becomes a positive one.
Water is an excellent medium to penetrate into salt molecules and breaks
it into ions (kitchen-salt NaCl is broken into Na+ and Cl-; also water
itself H2O breaks into H+ and OH- ).

JOH:  Thanks.

G:- Colloidal particles are formed by uncharged atoms or molecules. In the
formation process they lump together, bound loosely e.g. by water
bridges, but can fasten the bonds by chemical activity. These giant
molecules are formed so quickly that H+ or OH- (depending on the kind of
colloid) are caught and also built into the loose structure and gives
the colloidal particle its charge.

JOH:  Would you call that a hydrated silver, or is it a different thing  when 
the 
hydroxyl and the proton are separated?  Do you know where I can learn about 
the geometry of this substance?

If there were not an equal number of both bound into a given group, you 
could have an Ag sol with a negative charge as well as a positive charge. 
 That would make some of them stick together?

G:  What does this mean for our CS?
With low voltage direct current (LVDC) we detach silver ions from the
silver rod connected to the (positive) anode. In our solution we have
then silver ions Ag+, H+ and OH-. But when the Ag+ travel through the
water, some of them recombine with the OH- and form neutral AgOH
molecules. These molecules now lump together and include H+ ions. These
positively charged colloids repel each other and prevent the formation
of larger particles or even precipitation of the whole stuff.

JOH:  What happens to the ones which have more H+ or OH-  when they meet their 
complement?

Some Ag sol particles precipitate.  When the individual ions come off the 
electrode, what causes some of them to clump into large clusters and others 
clump into small clusters?


G:  The faster the colloids are formed
JOH:  Are you talking about the rate they leave the electrode, or the rate they 
form into clumps with protons and OHs?
 the more H+ ions are included, the
stronger is the repulsion which leads to smaller colloids.
What happens to the Ohs left over from the H+ being bound with the silver?
 G:  Adding salts
to a colloidal solution means adding of foreign ions
JOH:  So, it is an immigration problem!
G:   which are attached
to the colloids and disturb the repulsion. Precipitation will result.

JOH:  I don't know about that, but I do know that high currents will make Ag 
particles  which will precipitate without much of anything else in the 
water.

G:  I think with LVDC we generate colloidal silver oxide which is formed
from the AgOH by chemical transformation.

JOH:  Isn't silver oxide relatively insoluble in water?   This would leave a 
lot 
of protons.  The sol would become acid?



G:  If one wants to generate metallic colloids one has to use a different
process: One has to evaporate metallic silver by sparking under water,
by evaporating silver with a energetic laser beam, by ultrasound etc.
These silver atoms, dispersed in water, also lump together, but
typically include OH- ions.

JOH:   Are any of the folks on the list building the laser devices?   Will they 
work with 3 9V batteries?

G:  To improve the insulation of the colloids from each other, and not only
rely on the electric repulsion, some companies manage to cover the
colloids with a skin of organic compounds, e.g. proteins.

To what group of colloids the HVDC or HVAC CS is belonging, I have no
idea.

Hopefully this helps to clarify,

 Gunter


JOH:  Thanks,  I will have to think about this more.

RE: CS measurements ?!

1999-09-17 Thread James Osbourne, Holmes
Hi System Goddess,

Measuring PPM of silver sol  with a conductivity meter is tricky, if not 
impossible.  Ask Bob B. for his test data.  It is damn near random.

Mike D.  says if you do a proper calibration procedure, it can be a usable 
check.  I don't really know.  Bruce M. says it may sometimes show 
correlation, but is mostly useless.

I use a conductivity meter---which also outputs in mS to measure start 
water purity only.  I measure mg/L---which is PPM--- of the sol I make with 
 a color transmittance spectrophotometer.

mS, when measuring a specific solute, will tell you the PPM[mg/L] .  I do 
not think it is useful to measure PPM of a sol, because the sol does not 
behave like a dissolved monatomic ion.

A mS meter is really a very sensitive Ohmmeter which reads out in the 
inverse of Ohms; very small units of conductivity.

HI V.,

More careful reading of your last post.

I got my venerable Spectronics 20, a college quant. analysis course grade 
and good general purpose unit used for 415.91 whatever-they-are from Coast 
Scientific.  I have about another 700 in glassware and other science-like 
doodads.  The Hach reagents cost about 0.55 per test. Once you get it down, 
it is just Joy of Cooking.  God Bless Irma R.  I can do a test in about 20 
minutes, and it takes the spec about 15 to warm up.  It has hit a Hach ACS 
grade solution of AgNO3 diluted to 4 PPM right on the button every time I 
check it.  I mean 4.0.  I don't know what is happening a couple of digits 
over, but who cares...

They turn up on the web from time to time.   There are really precise and 
exotic used ones available if you have about three times the bux, as the 
big guys want the hottest/latest, and dump perfectly good instruments for 
cheap.   I have a bunch of used lab equipment links.

You are hooked.

CSThe Quest for documented / scientific reports on colloidal silver

1999-09-17 Thread O2 Communication
Hi all!

Here's a start :

Regional Pharmacy Services and Silver Water, Inc.
MEMO: Regarding lab testing of various strains of bacterias, yeast and molds
The following results were observed and recorded after exposing various
strains of bacteria, yeast and mold to Regional Pharmacy Service's specially
formulated Colloidal Silver with a concentration of Three Parts per Million.
1. There was a dramatic 99.999% reduction of both the bacteria strains and
the yeast within 24 hours.
2. This 99.999% reduction of both the bacteria strains and the yeast
continued for the first week and stayed reduced for a full month (28+ days).
3. There was a 90.0% reduction of the molds tested within 24 hours.
4. This 90.0% reduction of the molds continued for the first week and stayed
reduced for a full month.
Interpretation of Lab Testing Results - The Regional Pharmacy Service (RPS)
and Silver Water Inc.'s Colloidal Silver with a concentration of Three Parts
per Million exhibits a consistent ability to radically destroy over 99% of
all pathogenic bacteria and yeast and over 90% of molds exposed to the
specifically formulated RPS colloidal silver.
(Article from Family Health News)


Since the body is known to have a vital need for silver to maintain both the
immune system and the production of new healthy cells, and due to the
harmonious nature of colloids entering the body, it stands within reason
that colloidal silver may be harmless. Just to prove the point make a
sixteen-ounce solution of well over 250 ppm and drink it. It's plenty safe.
This makes sense according to Capitol Drugs pharmacist Ron Barnes, PhD.
Many strains of pathogenic microbes, viruses, fungi, bacteria or any other
single celled pathogen resistant to other antibiotics are killed on contact
by colloidal silver, and are unable to mutate. However, it does not harm
tissue-cell enzymes and friendly bacteria.

CSIons or not ions, that is the question

1999-09-17 Thread Spiroflex
Yesterday someone said to me, If the CS that you are taking is working for 
you, it is the silver in the CS that you are taking that is being absorbed by 
your body, and giving you the benefit you say you perceive, not the ions. The 
body cannot absorb ions. The body can absorb silver. It is silver, not ions 
that is being absorbed into your blood stream. Either the CS you are drinking 
contains silver as well as ions or reacts with acids or whatever in your mouth 
or wherever in your body and forms silver. It is silver, not ions, that is 
absorbed by your body and goes into your blood stream and provides the benefit 
that you say you are experiencing.  Any comments? PLEASE comment.

1.  Are silver compounds apt or not apt to be formed as the CS comes in contact 
with whatever in the mouth or stomach? If yes, is this more apt to happen with 
freshly made CS than CS that is a month old?

2.  If yes, is this why a manufacturer would prefer to stabilize the CS with 
a protein first?
 
2.  Why do I read recommendations like, Take CS in the morning before brushing 
the teeth with toothpaste. Take CS on an empty stomach.  Valid or not valid?
 
3.  Would it be advisable to rinse one's mouth out before taking CS or brush 
one's teeth without toothpaste, just DW say, before sipping CS?
 
4.  If silver compounds are formed as one sips CS, would there be certain kinds 
of food, toothpaste, etc that would be more contraindicated than others when 
you are close to CS sipping time? 

5.  Does diluting the CS in 8 oz of water play a role in this regard? If so, 
does it make a significant difference if you dilute the CS with distilled water 
vs using a water with more dissolved solids in it?

Comments or opinions, please. -- Carlos LeClair

Microsiemens are a measure of conductance; it is the Ohm---unit of 
resistance, upside down; the reciprocal or 1/Ohms.  It is used to describe 
the purity of water: the lower the mS reading, the less other things it has 
in it, and the less conductive it is. 

Very helpful! 

I have in the past bought purified water  here in
the UK that said: less than 30 microS   on the container.
- not very pure after all,  I see now. I have also bought 
water that simply says BP, a British standard I think
for water purity but I don't know the conductivity
limits.  cheers

All I know about the subject is that the fellow who built the machine 
recommends about 75-80 for optimal production of  particles. Generally, 
reactions of any type occur faster at higher temperatures. 

Great. that's what I needed. Makes perfect sense. 

I think I will just keep the room warmer than I have been. we don't

More than likely not.  Bruce's bottles say the CS is a mineral supplement 
and makes *no* claims as to health cures.  The problem is going to be for 
those manufacturers that try to label their CS as a cure all or 
specifically curing some illness.  Just label the bottle as a supplement. 
 It's all in the marketing of the product.

This could just be the re-emergence of information on last month's 
ruling from the FDA about colloidal silver and it's ingredients being 
not proven safe or effective for use in over the counter meds.

Given the usual state of the rumor mill, and the tendency of some to 
*want* to stir up controversy and anxiety to promote sales, it is 
possible this is only the same info we visited then, going around for 
the second time.

I would be real pleased if y'all would keep digging and see if 
there's anything *new* in the press about FDA action. And if 
somebody wants to repost some of the links and such from last month, 
maybe that'll give us a jumping off point for knowing where to look 
for any new info.

Stay calm. Do not panic. Do not give up.

Also, let's be circumspect in raising political issues on the list,
lest we find ourselves distracted by arguments about the various
philosophies, politicians, etc...  As it applies to policies and
enforcement toward our little corner of the CS world, we can talk
about these things. But lets try to stay on point and not assume
that everybody will agree on anything else!

Anyone know what went out three weeks ago and are they just misinterpreting

I searched the FDA web site and found a report by the FDA stating 
colloidal silver and *silver salts*( I hate how they try to lump the two 
together! :-\ ).  The report mentioned that the compound was not 
considered beneficial to animals or humans.  I don't know if that's where 
this is coming from, but the report was back in May of this year.  That 
was the latest bit of information that the FDA had on its website re: 
Colloidal Silver.  Please keep the in touch regarding the FDA trying to 
limit the use of CS!  Thanks for the heads up.

Re: CSThe Quest for documented / scientific reports on colloida

1999-09-17 Thread M. G. Devour
Hi Yvonne, list!

A citation like this is a starting point, but doesn't give us a 
*whole* lot, unfortunately...

The cite is at the bottom of a long page of info about CS that is a 
faithful rehash of what we've always been told. The only reference 
provided to back up any of what they say is Article from Family 
Health News. We don't know what issue, or that it's not a company 
publication or otherwise commercially affiliated with the vendor.

So a first step is to see if there is such a publication and find the 
referenced article. Then trace back to authors or sources if 
possible, to the actual test results, if they'll share them. *That* 
will begin to approach documented results! GRIN

Which is to say there's a lot of work to do to really nail these
things down. Marketers like this, in the absence of real data, tend
to throw words at it until it looks real and just hope for the best.
We know there's very little hard date to be found to begin with.

So, this item shows that somebody claims to have bought some 
culture testing at a lab, and that the results were good. It at least 
jibes with what we know from experience.

Good digging. Keep us up to date! 

Be well,

Mike D.

 Hi all!
 
 Here's a start :
 
 Regional Pharmacy Services and Silver Water, Inc.
 MEMO: Regarding lab testing of various strains of bacterias, yeast
 and molds The following results were observed and recorded after
 exposing various strains of bacteria, yeast and mold to Regional
 Pharmacy Service's specially formulated Colloidal Silver with a
 concentration of Three Parts per Million. 1. There was a dramatic
 99.999% reduction of both the bacteria strains and the yeast within
 24 hours. 2. This 99.999% reduction of both the bacteria strains and
 the yeast continued for the first week and stayed reduced for a full
 month (28+ days). 3. There was a 90.0% reduction of the molds tested
 within 24 hours. 4. This 90.0% reduction of the molds continued for
 the first week and stayed reduced for a full month. Interpretation
 of Lab Testing Results - The Regional Pharmacy Service (RPS) and
 Silver Water Inc.'s Colloidal Silver with a concentration of Three
 Parts per Million exhibits a consistent ability to radically destroy
 over 99% of all pathogenic bacteria and yeast and over 90% of molds
 exposed to the specifically formulated RPS colloidal silver.
 (Article from Family Health News)
 
 
 Since the body is known to have a vital need for silver to maintain
 both the immune system and the production of new healthy cells, and
 due to the harmonious nature of colloids entering the body, it
 stands within reason that colloidal silver may be harmless. Just to
 prove the point make a sixteen-ounce solution of well over 250 ppm
 and drink it. It's plenty safe. This makes sense according to
 Capitol Drugs pharmacist Ron Barnes, PhD. Many strains of
 pathogenic microbes, viruses, fungi, bacteria or any other single
 celled pathogen resistant to other antibiotics are killed on contact
 by colloidal silver, and are unable to mutate. However, it does not
 harm tissue-cell enzymes and friendly bacteria.

per gallon and do not let it get close enough to cone... rather i keep the
electrode about  1/8 to 1/4 inch above the water.
this keeps a small arc present.  a cone reaches above the water surface and
prevents the arc.

am i misunderstanding what you are speaking of?  or are you referring only

You are correct.
The group has figured out in previous posts that the commercial units
are designed to run this way. (with cone).
I've tried it both ways and found the results to be more easily
consistent with the cone than not. It seems to be auto limiting in
that at the end of the run, the cone drops out and arcing commences.
This happens at approximately 2 hours.

   The body system has the property to pick up and 
to

web
as cracks  [mild] and  holes [severe] and serve to unbalance the individual

cockroaches or etheric parasites. Therefore, by pure water, I mean that the

rule, anything
that has been touched , handled or exposed to a morbid environment, should be
magnetised  using powerful magnets exceeding 3000 to 5000 gauss to destroy the
stored up extraneous electro-magnetic oscillations.

 If possible,try to be selective in your choice of
mineral
water for drinking to feed the brain  Qi . If doubtful, magnetise the mineral
water for a few  hours before drinking.

Subject:CSIons or not ions, that is the question

  File: ATT2.html  Yesterday someone said to me, If the CS that 
you are taking is working for you, it is the silver in the CS that you are 
taking that is being absorbed by your body, and giving you the benefit you 
say you perceive, not the ions. The body cannot absorb ions. The body can 
absorb silver. It is silver, not ions that is being absorbed into your 
blood stream. Either the CS you are drinking contains silver as well as 
ions or reacts with acids or whatever in your mouth or wherever in your 
body and forms silver. It is silver, not ions, that is absorbed by your 
body and goes into your blood stream and provides the benefit that you say 
you are experiencing.  Any comments? PLEASE comment.

JOH:  Silver, like most, if not all metals, can be in a variety of states. 
 A colloid is by definition a particle dispersed in another substance.  The 
two substances can be in any phase except a gas in a gas.   When a particle 
is not electrically negative, it is called an ion.  The nature of and cause 
of the charge can be different.

My working definition of a charged silver colloid is a clump of atoms, not 
a single atom, which has an electrical charge which is positive.  I do not 
know how that charge is created.   Single atoms of silver is what I call 
ionic silver.  I think this is much more reactive to the substances found 
in the body, particularly when it is part of a silver salt, such as silver 
nitrate.

I believe that much CS contains some colloid and some ions.  I think 
the 
better stuff is very small---0.5 to 10 nm (billionth of a meter, 10 to the 
ninth negative power.)  Single atoms of silver are more likely to react 
with other elements and/or compounds that a small positivly charged clump 
of metallic silver.

1. Are silver compounds apt or not apt to be formed as the CS comes in 
contact with whatever in the mouth or stomach? If yes, is this more apt to 
happen with freshly made CS than CS that is a month old?

JOH:   All that I know about this is that when you drink silver, some of it 
reacts with the hydrogen chloride normally produced in the stomach to 
produce silver chloride; harmless in small quantities, but removing some 
silver  from bioavailability.

2. If yes, is this why a manufacturer would prefer to stabilize the CS 
with a protein first?

JOH  I am unsure here.  Higher concentrations push the particles closer 
together.  There are multiple forces acting on the particles, some 
repulsive and some attractive.  The balance depends on a bunch of factors, 
but if they get close enough together the stick, forming a larger particle. 
 When the weight of the particle is too great for the molecular movement of 
the water, gravity pulls the particle to to bottom of the vessle;  the 
silver has fallen out of suspension   Larger particles can not get 
through cell walls or small capillaries, and do not have the same 
electrical and anti-microbal properties.  Various protiens are used to bind 
to the silver and keep it floating.  Some people---especially those who 
sell such products---say the additives improve the effectiveness.  Others 
say that is a factor in argyria.  I prefer no additive.

3. Why do I read recommendations like, Take CS in the morning before 
brushing the teeth with toothpaste. Take CS on an empty stomach.  Valid 
or not valid?

JOH:  Valid, not a big deal.  When you eat, more HCL is secreted and more 
reacts with the silver.  Rinsing your mouth with CS virtually eliminates 
gum disease.

4. Would it be advisable to rinse one's mouth out before taking CS or brush 
one's teeth without toothpaste, just DW say, before sipping CS?
JOH Sure. Probably tastes better.

5. If silver compounds are formed as one sips CS, would there be certain 
kinds of food, toothpaste, etc that would be more contraindicated than 
others when you are close to CS sipping time?

JOH:  I take it once a day if I am not sick.  A couple to 4 oz in the am, 
with a bit of MSM, before breakfast.  If I feel something bad may be 
happening, I take more.  I don't often feel bad.

6. Does diluting the CS in 8 oz of water play a role in this regard? If so, 
does it make a significant difference if you dilute the CS with distilled 
water vs using a water with more dissolved solids in it?

JOH:  I don't think so.   I don't dilute it except to take a little DW and 
heat it to help the MSM dissolve.  I drink only DW, unless it it not 
available, so that is not special for the silver.

Bruce says the cones are normal, and indicate adequately pure water.  You 
will get small cones at the start if the water is more conductive.  I set 
my arc-bars very close to the water to prevent long arcs which may fry the 
transformer.  I have been thinking lately that I may be setting too small a 
gap; the sputtering may contribute to production increase.

The cones diminish as conductivity increases with more silver in the water. 
 Check the manual.  Big caution about arcs over about 1/8 inch, or 
something like that.

My standard placement of arc bars above water is about 1/16 or less.  Cones 
run about 1/2 to 3/8 to start.  Bruce says arcing near the end of a run is 
normal, but since I do not monitor my batches, I just want to make sure I 
don't fry the tran.

Interesting!
Synergistically, I just bought a juicer for myself and my wife.
I wanted top-of-the-line or nearly so. I settled on the Green Power at
$400.
 One of its features is the use of magnets in the juicing path to
affect the product.

Subject: CSParts List and Comments on CSXO2 Nebulizing System
From: Brooks Bradley liat...@flash.net
Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 17:12:33 -0500

Good Afternoon List Members.
Following is a list of the components required for enabling
the protocol we used in the experimental researches I outlined last
evening.
The air-brush kit we used, was obtained from a mail-order
concern specializing in myriad hardware/electrical/hand-tool items.
Their quality is toward the low-end industrial, but quite adequate for
the home/hobby user.  Our machine shop/proto-type builders have used
them for years.  The company is Harbor Freight, located in Camarillo,
California.  They now have outlets in one or two other cities.  We
obtained our air-brush kits from the Fort Worth, Texas store (we are
located in Fort Worth).  The stock number is #6131.  Our purchasing
person informed me this item cost us less than $10.00 each, and the
last 20 purchased cost less than $8.00.  As of last Wednesday, this
store still had some of these units.   Included in the kit are two
liquid -supply bottles (one 1/2  and one 1 oz), one air hose which
couples between the pressure regulator and the air-brush assembly;
one air pressure regulator;  and the air-brush assembly itself.   The
additional parts required are for a hose assembly which facilitates
coupling the input side of the air pressure regulator with the
external oxygen supply used to power the nebulizer.
Note:  PURCHASE BRASS FITTINGS ONLY,  oxygen is the
pre-eminent combustion supporter.
   All of these components can be obtained from any
commercial outlet stocking pneumatic system parts.
 This hose assembly includes:
One 1/4  Compression X 1/8 Male NPT fitting  (this
is very important, for without it you cannot connect the O2 hose to
the air-brush pressure regulator)
 One 1/4 Barb X 1/8 NPTF  Fitting  
 One  1/4 X 9/16 RH Oxygen Fitting  (will have a barb
fitting on one end and the female coupling on the other) 
 Approximately  4 feet of any good !/4   I.D.  200+
PSI  air hose.  Tell the clerk you are going to use oxygen in the
hose.
  Assemble the parts by screwing the Compression
fitting into the 1/4 Barb X 1/8 Male NPT fitting.  Do not worry,
only one end of the Compression fitting is compatible with the Barb
fitting.  Next, insert the barb end of this fitting assemby into the
air hose.  Push the hose on until it is jam against the shoulder of
the fitting.  Any small, screw or compression-type clamp may be used
to add security to the hose/fitting end.  Next, insert the barb end of
the  Oxygen fitting into the remaining hose end and secure with any
satisfactory clamp.  Your assembly is now complete.   Next, carefully
screw the exposed male end of the Compression fitting into the bottom
of the air-brush pressure regulator.  Now  connect the small-diameter
air-line between the air-brush assembly and the pressure regulator (it
is fool-proof, as there is nowhere else this tiny hose can connect).  
Select the small fluid-supply bottle and fill
approximately 75-80% of capacity with 5-10 ppm Colloidal Silver and
insert the angled tip assembly into the bottom of the air-brush
assembly.  You are now ready to connect to your O2 supply and operate.

Obtain a small medical O2 bottle (anywhere around 1/2
to 1 cubic feet capacity) or any size O2   Arc welding system bottle.
Be sure to have a Two-stage regulator attached to the O2 bottle.  Now,
connect the 9/16 Oxygen-fitting to the O2 outlet from the Two-stage
regulator (also foo-proof, as there is nowhere else to connect).  Now
SLOWLY open the O2 control knob on the O2 regulator and set the inlet
prssure to your nebulizer assembly to a Maximum of 35 Pounds Per
Square Inch (PSI).Next, screw the AIR-BRUSH air pressure
regulator control knob (the tiny knob on top of the air pressure
regulator) all the way closed..  Now, open the control knob about 2
and one-half turns.   Next, trigger the control botton on the
Air-brush head until you see a fine fog each time you press down on
the 
button.  The mist is so fine, you may have to hold it against a dark
back ground to see it.  You are now ready to go.   
Our best results were obtained by the volunteer inserting
the discharge nozzle about 1 inch inside their OPEN  mouth and
breathing deep---an long---on each inhalation;  holding the breath for
a count of 3 or 4 and then executing a complete exhalation.  Ideally,
there should be about 1/4 circular clearance around the air-brush
head (while inside the mouth), as this provides the optimum

Here's the most official document I have so far by the FDA on this
subject. (I'm still trying to get a copy of the actual ruling)

www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS00971.html

This is a press release by FDA personnel in responding with consistency
and accuracy to questions from the public on subjects of current interest.
It doesn't say much, but the paragraph of most interest to us (and who
knows how it will be interpreted) is--

According to the Final Rule, a colloidal silver product for any drug 
use
will first have to be approved by FDA under the new drug application
procedures.  The Final Rule classifies colloidal silver products as
misbranded.their labeling falsely suggests that there is substantial
scientific evidence to establish that the drugs are safe and effective for
their intended uses.

 Do I understand you correctly?  You run your system with cones?  I have a
 HVAC system.  I do not allow it to cone.  I add 2 ounces of 10ppm starter
 per gallon and do not let it get close enough to cone... rather i keep the
 electrode about  1/8 to 1/4 inch above the water.
 this keeps a small arc present.  a cone reaches above the water surface and
 prevents the arc. 

The two arc bars are placed as close to the surface of the water as possible 
without touching. The electrode is completely submerged except for the hooks. 
 I start with room temperature distilled water.  I do not 'seed it'.  The 
water increases in temperature and conductivity as the batch 'grows'.  The 
cones get smaller and smaller and sometimes arc close to the end of the batch 
- doesn't effect ppm - but sometimes do get a better tyndal when arcing has 
occurred.  Better tyndal doesn't necessarily mean higher ppm. Can't tell you 
how my systems is made,- didn't make it - only can tell you what it looks 
like.  There are pictures at www.csprosystems.com . After I flip the switch, 
I don't touch anything until the unit is turned off.  Sometimes I stop the 
batch and add a little water to make up for what has condensed on the side of 
the container and decrease the arcing in the process.
