  Conductivity [uS] is conductivity, so 442, NaCl and KCl is irrelevant.
 The uS conductivity number closely corresponds to the PPM number ..after 
the conductivity stops dropping...up to around 30 uSas derived by $$ 
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer tests $$ done on samples averaging 12 
PPM @ 87% ionic as the middle of a range.
 Little or no Tyndall Effect, [as seen in a laser beam] fudge the number 
down some...heavy dense TE fudge it up some, to compensate for the 
unreadable particulates.


 Beyond 30 uS water solubility limits create conditions where conductivity 
measuring is **pretty** much useless but can still offer some hints when 
taken before it drops.


 Using constant current means a linear ion emission rate, so plotting 
conductivity rise over time at a given current, you can extend that line 
past 30 uS where it starts going non linear with unreadable particle 
formation and predict PPM as uS that can't be read.
 But a second uS drop back chart would make that a lot more accurate and 
that's probably not linear and would take many time stabilized batches to 
compile.


Some say that Faraday Equations correspond with conductivity measurements, 
but Faraday doesn't account for waste products...ie  where the silver is.
 Obviously, not all of it stays in the water. [Yet another chart to 
average in? ]


 BUT

In the REAL world where application is pure common sense intuition and no 
dosing recommendations make any sense at all because every person and every 
application is unique, ballpark is good enough.

 It's nearly impossible to over do and the major difference is just water.
 A particle too big to get out, never gets in and the sizes range all over 
the place in any given batch.  Your body has a great and intelligent 
filtration system if IT is working properly...and if it isn't, you'll 
likely be having some other much more serious problems than turning blue.


A Claymore mine and a sniper rifle do the same job when the scenery doesn't 
care.


 Do what works and if it doesn't, do it different till it does..and if it 
STILL doesn't, do something else as well. [Like, toss in some DMSO and eat 
a lot of carrots]


 When you forget that you need to, you are done. [Until something reminds

Yep, not precise or 100% accurate remember, but you get a pretty good idea, 
beats having no idea at all, and if you keep records you can back reference to 
see how all the batches compare with each other using similar brew times, water 
volumes and temp etc etc.

 

Then come the day when one CAN have some samples analysed you can look at your 
records and see how inaccurate meters can be compared to laboratory equipment, 
but as we don't live in a perfect world it doesn't matter all that much is the 
way I look at it, gives me a feeling of knowing what I'm doing and that's all 
that counts, like a kid sucking on a dummy, gives them that 'safe' and 
'comforted' feeling g.

  You can use a voltmeter to tell when to stop, but only on a given setup 
that's always the same as referenced by an EC meter.
Current, electrode spacing and surface exposure have to be constants for 
voltage to tell you anything.
  In *making* CS, the voltage is nearly irrelevant, so it needn't be a

  $43.70 isn't too bad and maybe not a bad meter,  but you can do better.

Not sure what the measurement range is.  EC isn't a unit of electrical 
conductivity so far as I know so  0- 20 EC  doesn't mean anything to me.
 The spec should be in micro [uS] or milli -siemens [mS]  or, like, mS/CC 
of EC or uS/CC of EC


 You would want a slightly higher range than 20 uS and better resolution 
than mS increments.
 Since the PPM range is 20,000 PPM, that indicates that EC is in Milli 
Siemens or even Siemens


This one for $22.98 looks more suited..and it comes out of Florida vs Hong 
Kong.

 voltage to tell you anything.

 Sort of- it looks like your current may be on the high side, otherwise it
 would not be so much. It is normal- the water electrolyzes, the silver 
picks

 it up and it turns to the gunk you see. To control the amount of gunk, you
 can control the current  more. That you can do with a resistor, diode or
 potentiometer in series.
 If you clip your wires to a multimeter set to measure milliamps, it should
 read zero when you start- that means there is no current flowing 
through the

 water to speak of. As the silver ions continue to  go into the water, the
 conductivity increases and the current flow increases along with that. I
 forget what the details are (read formula is), but less than 1 mA 
current is

 a good idea if your silver surface area is under a certain - yours looks
 close to mine, and 1mA is what I am using. Just looking to see what the
 current is gives you some clues.
 I got a 75 ohm potentiometer at the surplus store  and put it in series to
 keep a lid on the current. Maybe it was a dollar.

Hi Kathryn, since your talking about D.C. current. As current passes from pole 
to pole. It passes the minerals too. Just wipe off eccess and switch polarity 
each time. Keeping current to less than 1 amp decreases particulant size. 
Voltage really doesn't matter. My Silver Puppy uses SWAP mode to achieve A.C. 
which does the same thing automaticly. Hope this helps. Just remember ohms law.

I got a 75 ohm potentiometer at the surplus store  and put it in series to keep 
a lid on the current. Maybe it was a dollar.

I just checked and it's running 155mA. I'll go get a pot as suggested.

Does anyone know of a way to check ppm using voltage or conductivity somehow? 
As it is now I have no idea what my current batch would be.

I'm not getting any cloudiness this time. I wonder if I didn't rinse the glass 
enough with dw the first time.

Sort of- it looks like your current may be on the high side, otherwise it would 
not be so much. It is normal- the water electrolyzes, the silver picks it up 
and it turns to the gunk you see. To control the amount of gunk, you can 
control the current  more. That you can do with a resistor, diode or 
potentiometer in series.

If you clip your wires to a multimeter set to measure milliamps, it should read 
zero when you start- that means there is no current flowing through the water 
to speak of. As the silver ions continue to  go into the water, the 
conductivity increases and the current flow increases along with that. I forget 
what the details are (read formula is), but less than 1 mA current is a good 
idea if your silver surface area is under a certain - yours looks close to 
mine, and 1mA is what I am using. Just looking to see what the current is gives 
you some clues.

RE: CSGetting Started

2009-10-18 Thread Neville Munn

Jeff,

 

You need to remove electrodes from water at regular intervals to clean them, 
manually switching polarity on these battery units is really more about 
providing even wear on both electrodes instead of working off only one, wiping 
clean the electrodes is the important thing with these units.  I set a timer 
for 30 minutes and remove electrodes to wipe clean and switch polarity (to 
maintain that even wear on both electrodes), takes me 1 to 1 1/2 hours to get 
ppm I'm satisfied with (dependant on numerous variables of course), but having 
said that, I only use my old battery unit in an emergency, other times I use 
the more conventional unit.

 

I consider battery units are still good units, I just don't use one to produce 
large quantities, and if you do, you'll need to incorporate some form of 
stirring method.  Ideas for magnetic stirrers are available in the public 
domain, old computer parts, cost nothing, I've made several.  You can make your 
own stirrer bar as well, but I didn't trust mine so bought some, they're cheap 
anyway.

 
Meters are accurate enough for me being a home producer, at least they tell me 
SOMETHING is in the water, and they'll also tell me when the solution has 
stabilized, but remember, readings will go down in the days following 
production til stabilization of solution has been reached.

 

New production vessels can contain residual contamination from manufacture 
also, which may affect the end result.  I don't bother washing them out, the 
first batch can be sacrificed and used on external open wounds or animals 
anyway if I'm not happy with end result.

 Finally made my first batch. The silver arrived today and I put together 4 9v 
batteries and started the process. Over an hour and nothing happened. So I 
moved the rods closer together and added a bit of the commercial CS we had 
bought. About 30 minutes later I looked and the solution was cloudy. Using a 
laser level I looked into the solution and could see the particles. No idea how 
concentrated it was though as I don't have a meter. I'd like to hear if there 
is a fairly good method.

 So we all rinsed our mouths and gargled as it had become a family event. I 
need to get some of the amber bottles and different tops now.

 We've had some interesting results with the commercial solution and my 
youngest's breathing at night. When we use the CS nose spray she doesn't snore 
or breath loudly. If we forget to have her spray we find out later from the 
snoring. She's been diagnosed with allergies but it happened so suddenly I'm

You don't need to store your EIS/CS in amber bottles.  Clear bottles are

Re: CSGetting Started

2009-10-01 Thread Dan Nave
Jeff,

Here is something I came up with on how to use Colloidal Silver.  I
think the initial cautions are overstated, but unless you have
something like food poisoning it is probably better to start slowly.

Dan



How To Use Colloidal Silver

Do not drink directly out of the CS bottle, or add things directly to
the CS bottle!
Pour the CS into your mouth or another container.

If you have never used CS internally before, start slowly and increase
the dose over a period of time.

1.  Very few people are allergic to silver.  To test, place several
drops of CS  on your tongue.   Monitor for allergic reactions for up
to ½ hour.

2.  Place 1 tsp CS in your mouth.  Swish it around for 2 minutes, then
spit it out.  Start out with only one or two doses a day.
3.  Increase dose to 1 Tbs CS at a time.  Swish it in mouth for 2 to 5
minutes, then spit it out.   Later, if you want, you can swallow this.
 Swallowing CS is most effective on an empty stomach.  You can repeat
every ½ hour as long as you are not experiencing a healing reaction.

CS is strong and effective if used properly.
CS is only effective while it is actually contacting bacteria, etc.
It doesn’t linger.
CS only acts for a short time in the body.  Therefore, divided doses
taken over a period of time make it more effective.

Preventative dose:  1 tsp to 1 Tbs taken once or twice a day.  Swish
in mouth for 2 minutes and then swallow or spit it out.

Colds:  Spray CS in eyes and nose.  Use as you would use a nasal
spray.  Most effective when used at first sign of a cold.  Repeat
treatment every ½ hour for best results.

Established Colds:  Spray in eyes and nose.  Swish 1 tsp to 1 Tbs in
mouth for 30 seconds to 1 minute and swallow.  Repeat every ½ hour or
as often as you wish.

Sore Throat/Bronchitis:  Take as above for Established Colds.  Let the
CS trickle slowly down the throat over a period of time.  Spray CS
into the back of the mouth while breathing in.  Repeat every ½ hour.

Ears:  Fill ear canal with CS for 2 to 5 minutes.  Can mix with 3%
Hydrogen Peroxide at any ratio – try ½ CS and ½  Hydrogen Peroxide.
Some people recommend straight Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) or ½ CS and ½
Hydrogen Peroxide in the ear canals for colds.  Leave in until the
bubbling stops.

Eyes:  Spray or use drops in the eyes for colds or infections such as
Pinkeye.  Repeat several times.

Nose:  Remove the top from a saline or nasal spray bottle and dump out
the contents.  Rinse 3 times with distilled water or a little CS.
Fill half way with CS and use as a nasal spray.

Mouth:  Use 1 Tbs as you would a mouthwash (2 to 5 minutes) and then
spit out.  For more severe gum problems you can add either an equal
amount of  3% Hydrogen Peroxide to the CS, or 2 parts DMSO to 8 parts
CS.  (Don’t add Hydrogen Peroxide and DMSO to the same mix.)  Both
Hydrogen Peroxide and DMSO taste horrible, but the results can be
worth it.  Do not swallow.

Cuts or infections:  Saturate clean gauze, cotton, or cloth with CS.
Place this over the wound for as long as necessary.  Keep wet with CS.
 Change as necessary.  Hydrogen Peroxide will help CS penetrate mucus,
etc.  Ten to 20 % DMSO will help it absorb into the skin for deeper
penetration.  It is possible to heal the surface of a wound and still
leave infection underneath for deep wounds.  Make sure it penetrates.
Use CS orally too.

Burns:  Silver is used to treat severe burns.  Treat as for Cuts or
Infections above.  Seek medical attention if badly burned.

Food Poisoning:  Drink ½ to 1 cup of CS in one dose.  Repeat if necessary.

Maximum Dose:  Many people have taken 1 pint to 1 quart of 5 to 20 ppm
CS daily without problems.  There is no concern with taking ¼ cup (4
Tbs) for long periods of time, or up to ½ cup (8 Tbs) for shorter
periods.


Note: Colloidal Silver (CS) as used here refers to 5 to 20 ppm silver
ions and particles liberated by electricity in pure distilled water
without salt or other additives.  Very good and inexpensive CS can be
made at home.  Stay away from commercial silver products with very
high ppms and those made with silver compounds or silver proteins.

I can sell you a generator no problem, either the little current limited

 No requirements needed other than to manufacture to good manufacturing

 It would seem that you have quite a lot of study to do if you don't know

CSgetting started

2000-09-21 Thread Nick Grant
Hi

I hope I am e-mailing this to the right address.  I am looking at getting
started with CS.  I have been using it for over a year and now wish to sell
it.  I live in New Zealand, so I am not sure if any of you are familiar with
the policies over here, as to whether or not I need a permit to sell CS.

Also, is a battery operated machine O.K., or am I better with a power
generated machine?

Look forward to hearing your comments

Tracy G.

Hi Tracy,

No requirements needed other than to manufacture to good manufacturing
practice, not make outrageous claims, and to be able prove that what is
in the bottle is what is on the label. I take the trouble to have my
product bio-burden tested and assayed, and track the batch numbers.

It would seem that you have quite a lot of study to do if you don't know
what type of generator to use! Do you know what is the optimum particle
size, concentration, colour and so on? There is a wealth of info in the
archives...

Yours in competition,
Ivan.

Dear Ivan,

Phil Marie Sr.  is on this CS list and also along with a chap named Dean we 3
are on an list called the AEF list.  Stand for Anomalous Encounters Forum
and also on the AEF list is an adorble elderly fellow in NZ who has been
sick the last few weeks with a prolonged chest infection and now it has
gone to a non--stop runny nose.  ANd he is a bit better now and we have
suggested this and that to him and he does not seem to be familiar with CS
when Phil mentioned it to him.  And as you are in NZ.  You would be just
the fellow...


Adrian's e-mail is a...@ihug.conz

If you are near him show him how to get into CS,  he is smart and willing.


Tell him Barb sent you...

Ha Ivan  folks,
Loved your tactful response, Ivan!
You are obviously much over 30  :-)
HOWEVER, may I point out the other small detail?
Business is rarely about making a good product - it is all about
flogging it.
I give you:
Windoze  Os/2
Windoze  Linux.

Cheers,
John
