sent me a "42 ppm CS" in a cobalt blue spray bottle. No big deal, EXCEPT: The solution would not test viricidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, Nada! I could not believe it! It would not make any of the reflexes strong. This is almost a first, sine I have tested hundreds of people with CS to date! So we took the solution out of its container, put it a sterile glass container, still would not test for killing anything! Hmmmm...What next? Then we took a known 100 ppm CS, fantastic, proven quality bug killer, (by our testing and with patients results) tested, still great. Rinsed out the cobalt bottle with sterile water, several times. Guess what? It totally deactivated the 100 ppm product! We could not believe it, so I again decanted the 100 ppm product from the blue bottle, back into another sterile container! Nada!" This brings up some SERIOUS QUESTIONS, since cobalt blue GLASS bottles have been recommended (as well as brown GLASS or used peroxide bottles) for the storage of CS since they have no charge that would cause the silver to plate out ...nor would it deactivate from exposure to light! Was the cobalt blue bottle GLASS or was it PLASTIC? The other big question I have is "Will the COBALT leach out of the glass and contaminate the contents?" The reason I ask is that Hulda Clark recommends that all BLUE products whether for ingesting or for topical use be AVOIDED, since the source of the blue color is COBALT! COBALT is a HEAVY METAL which accumulates in the body! I know that LEAD CRYSTAL should not be used to store wine, etc. because the lead will leach out and contaminate the product. Does the COBALT do the same? Are there any chemists out there who can answer this question? (I am presently re-using the cobalt blue glass bottle that my first CS came in (Future Biotics brand). Thanks in advance! Ginny ________________________________________________________________ Ginny; Some very good questions, I had the same ones about cobalt blue glass! The container we tested was blue glass, and it had a plastic sprayer in it. However we did not test the solutions using the sprayer! If that could possibly matter. Please any chemists out there, HELP!!! Thanks, chc -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
