CS>Best Wishes!
Hi silver listers! Lately, I find myself very pressed for time. And I've been spending over two hours a night just getting through my emails. But, before leaving, I want to thank you all for putting up with all my dumb questions and for taking the time to answer my all my dumb questions. THANK YOU and BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL! Joe G. (P.S. If things lighten up, you'll probably be hearing from me again on this list.) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

Re: CS>Try this
Thank you Fred! I'm very glad I asked and VERY glad you answered. You've just helped me dodge a bullet. Joe --- Begin Message --- Joe, Re: Coffee filters What you are dealing with (Cs) is a very pure solution, in the parts per million, so it takes little contaminate to modify it! I have Brew Rite brand coffee filters (made by Rocklite Inc.) and one filter will add 35PPM of crud to an ounce of pure water! If used with perfect Cs it makes 5PPM change to 20+PPM and it TURNS DARK IN THE SUNLIGHT in 15 minutes, indicating the formation of silver salts! So many on the list say there are "good" coffee filters that I borrowed some from friends and they all were lousy! Interestingly, some of the same brand were much better then mine (12PPM) and the quality of the paper looked better - guess they buy paper from different sources, so there can not be a standard quality! The point is that if you start with 5PPM and add 5+PPM of crud (binders, clay, etc. in the paper) you windup with silver salts, which are mostly poorly soluble and thus little value. Your body chemistry can breakdown soluble salts such as silver nitrate, to use the silver ions, but the nitrates are bad news! So, not knowing the chemistry of what you made can be risky! What you can do (if you have measuring means) is wash a coffee filter 4 or more times in pure water (one took 10 washings), until the crud is washed out, and then use it until it clogs! I put a coffee filter in 2 ounces of DW and shake it up well, dump out the water and repeat, until it adds less the 0.25PPM, before I will use one. P.S. No Bob, good stuff will not darken in sunlight, even strong UV for weeks, but contaminate it, to form salts and it will! Those that insist on colored bottles are suffering from a case of the "salts"! f...@health2us.com Joe said: Re: "... wash a new coffee filter in it..." Based on past postings wih this group, I thought a coffee filter was a perfectly safe method for filtering out any larger, argyria-causing, silver particles and precipitates. Now, I see that doing this can ADD contaminants, even argyria causing contaminants? Joe G. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

Re: CS>Question about storage of CS
Thanks Bob! Joe --- Begin Message --- Hi Joe. If you are using disstilled water there is no way in the world that you could form a silver coumpund.. So forget Argyria. The color change says that the silver is agglomerating into larger colloids and hence is less effective in the body. "Ole Bob" --- End Message ---
CS>Fwd: Re: CS>Question about storage of CS
--- Begin Message --- So... we can assume that if there is a color change with sunlight exposure, we have other contaminants... maybe even dreaded, argyria causing silver COMPOUNDS? And vice versa? No color change = pretty good purity? Joe G. PS. Sorry to be so simplistic about this, but as you've probably guessed, I'm not exactly a "techie." --- Begin Message --- Karen and B&B+ all else; Where in the world did you get the idea of storing in the dark or in brown or blue or green bottles??? As for sunlight that is another "OLD WIVES TALE." To de bunk that I set a 2 liter cola bottle half full of CS out on the south back porch and for over three weeks sat in direct sunlight. Guess what NO CHANGE. I would not use the plastic bottles that the DW comes in as it will turn your CS a light yellow after several months. Causing trouble again!

Joe G. --- Begin Message --- All you are doing Steve is changing the bulk resistivity of the sol between the electrodes and thus will take a longer time to process. You will also effectively reduce the negative electrode area and thus build heavier deposits on a smaller area and thus more will fall off into the Cs. They were ment to tell you to spray your hair with silver salts, not Cs. It will darken when light hits it! Make some by adding a little salt or tap water, before you start the process, or take good Cs and wash a new coffee filter in it. Set it in the sun and you will see the solution darken in 15 minutes. f...@health2us.com If you have flat silver probes like I do with my SilverGen constant current genertor, you are probably positioning the probes so that the flat surface area are separated by an inch or two. I wondered what would happen if I rotated the probes by 90 deg so that the flat surfaces were not looking at each other. I thought that maybe the sintering process would change. Maybe the effective increase in distance between probes might result in less residue/sludge, etc. Well, it looks like that simple little change actually did result in less residue on the probes themselves and on the surface. Results still very preliminary, but before you poo-poo the idea, give it a try to see if you get the same results and report to the list. They told me my hair would get darker if I sprayed it with silver waterNOT! ;-) Yours in smurfdom. Steve Geigle--- End Message ---
CS>Wine & silver article
Hi again. I thought this group might be interested in an article I just read in "The 30 Second Wine Advisor" ezine. It deals with the use of either copper or silver to eliminate the rotton egg smell in some old wines.. The link is: Joe G. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

CS>Re: possible VERY, VERY cheap ozonator plans?
I was just wondering...A lot of us who grew up in the sixties and seventies had our own "black lights" used to illuminate artwork, etc. Doubtless many of these are laying about unused or might even be purchased at flea markets "for a song." I also remember the rather sickly-sweet, somewhat acrid smell when these were used. (And yes, I'm sure it was from the bulbs.) I wonder... if one simply wrapped some clear neoprene tubing around the length of the UV tube, connected a cheap aquarium air pump at one end and an even cheaper aquarium air-stone at the other, would this make an effective ozonator? If so, this could be of benefit to those on this list that simply can't afford a $200 plus unit. Joe G. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
