CSpH of colloidal silver

[Bethany Methven]

 
Can someone explain to me the importance of pH in colloidal silver. I just 
recently had my silver tested and the pH was around 9 .  Somehow it seems kind 
of high to me.  Can someone tell me what the norm is for a good colloidal 
silver,  how the pH is affected during the process and what the pros and cons 
are for different levels in colloidal silver?  I use a Silver Gen and steam 
distilled water from the health food section of our store.  I don't understand 
why the pH of my cs is so much higher than others that I see on the internet. 
 
thanks - Bethany

Beth,

Have you tested the pH yourself? pH tests strips are inexpensive or you
can make your own from red cabbage
(http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryhowtoguide/ht/makephpaper.htm).
It would seem that the water you are using is the most likely cause
since CS should be around 6.5 pH. If it is really 9 you can advertize it
as a plus. :) See:
 
From www.colloidalsolutions.co.uk/client/docs/silver_process.doc
http://www.colloidalsolutions.co.uk/client/docs/silver_process.doc  :
 

AquaSafe's Colloidal Silver is the only colloidal silver in the test
group analysed by the University of NSW, to have a pH greater than 7,
meaning it was the only sample tested that was found to be alkaline.
This higher pH aids absorption of the silver colloids, in the mouth,
under the tongue and in the stomach.

Personally, I don't worry about pH unless it makes the CS unappealing to
take or causes the silver to precipitate out. The silver citrate I make
is quite acidic, depending on the amount of citric acid I use in the
making.
