You can make C Copper with any DC CS generator with an output over something like 30 volts. Regular Romex house wiring is by industry standards pure enough to use as electrodes. It doesn't gain conductivity over around 3 uS, so, in distilled water, the process is very slow and meters are completely useless. it will make a TE and a suspended black webby substance if not stirred that later vanishes. [ unstable Copper Hydroxide????? ]

"Alternatively, copper hydroxide is readily made by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water>electrolysis of water " "Moist samples of copper(II) hydroxide slowly turn black due to the formation of <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper%28II%29_oxide>copper(II) oxide. "

Has a shelf life of about 3 weeks before it goes to green grey copper oxides and the copper settles out.

 Copper is a very common element that's difficult to avoid.
The *normal* body regulates it quite well and it shares elimination mechanisms with silver which include Selenium.
If the levels get too high, it can be considered a neurotoxin.

For some unknown [by me] reason, if you leave a small piece of shiny copper in a batch of CS, it will draw every bit of silver out of the water and drop in on the bottom of the container as a combination of fuzzy black stuff and metallic silver within a few days..colloidal content first, then the ionic content. It doesn't appear to take part in "chemical" reactions when it does that, nor does it appear to be a true plating process.
 Probably something about a difference in electro-potential.

 Copper might play a role in what silver does in vivo.

Copper kills germs like silver does, but is more chemically active and, unlike silver, plays a role as a micro nutrient.

Has anyone have experience with colloidal copper? It has interested me
but I have read that it is easy to take too much and is toxic if you do.
And that the important issue is copper/zinc balance:

However copper is valuable as an anti-inflammatory and anti-viral. The
following article recommends using copper salicylate or copper ascorbate
instead of colloidal copper.

They are both easy to make and are supposedly much less toxic than
colloidal copper. The article also recommends using zinc in the form of
the Schweitzer Formula. Also relatively easy to make.

Has anyone used any of these compounds?

Thanks,
