Hi, Patrice,
Welcome to the group, hope you find what you are looking for here. I
will offer some information below:

First posting!!
Hello silver people,
If you just got an incomplete posting from me, I apologize. My
computer does that sometimes. What I wanted to say is:
Thank you so much for this forum. I feel that I need a community of
knowledgeable people to share information about colloidal silver and
its applications with. Hurray!! You’re here!!
Can anyone please tell me what features I should look for in a
colloidal silver generator? I think that constant current is
important, right? A mixer to prevent agglomeration is also good,
yes? An adjustable timer that will turn the generator off when a
specified ppm concentration is reached seems very good, right? What
else? Are you allowed to recommend a specific brand or model? I sure
would appreciate recommendations.
I use my own set up, and it is not hard to do one like it. Yes, all
those features are nice and the constant current is necessary. I am
sure someone will pipe up with their favorite brand.
Can I use distilled water from the supermarket? Store the colloidal
silver is dark glass bottles? At comfortable room temperature,
right? Is 5 to 15 ppm a good range? How can I trust the concentration
without sending out a sample for analysis?
I use plastic water bottles, the cs I make is stable in clear bottles
at room temp. Do not freeze. I bought a Com 100 meter to read the
conductivity, which is about equal to the ppm. Thats the bonus- the
real reason I got it was to test the distilled water from the market to
make sure it is pure enough. Out of the half dozen or so available
here, only one brand was good enough to use.
One to two tablespoons a day just to improve general health?
I use a couple of T a day myself, most of the time.
I do need to improve my health. My diet is very natural. I take
lots of supplements that I research pretty well, but my health should
be better than it is and I am looking to do anything and everything to
improve. I am generally not too impressed by what pro-pharmaceutical
types say, but I have to admit that argyria has me a bit concerned. I
think that as long as I stay away from silver proteins and silver
salts I should have nothing to be concerned about. How important is
particle size with regard to argyria?
I don't know much about argyria, particle size etc.
How can we be confident about particle size in colloidal silver that
we make at home or that we buy? How can we believe what a company
that sells colloidal silver or a generator says about anything? How
can we even believe the results of a test? Forgive my questioning
nature, but we need to know what we are putting into our bodies,
right? There is conflicting information out there.
If you read up more on it, and start making your own, you will quickly
find out how the particle size can change, depending on how long you
run it, and your water quality to start with, and the current it is set
at. When the particles become a little larger, it becomes slightly
yellow instead of clear. What we like to make is clear, which has a
very small size- we are mostly making ionic, with a small % colloid,
and an ion is the smallest size physically possible. After some time,
sometimes the particle run into each other in the jar, and they join
up- ions like company- so when I make a stronger batch, or use a higher
current, it can turn a little yellow over a few weeks. That does not
happen often, but it does sometimes.
There are a few companies that are well thought of, with reliable
owners. There is a website for lab results of various types of silver
products on www.silvermedicine.org somewhere. Having a questioning
nature is a very good thing, in my opinion. It can save a lot of
trouble later on.
I thank anyone for any response to any of my questions.
Most sincerely, Patrice
You are most welcome!
Kathryn
