Always your state of mind :-). I found something on the phase of moon thing while researching this: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- From: http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/silvermf.html How to make a colloidal silver solution: Do this any time other than the week surrounding the new moon (when the moon is overhead at noon) if you want to be successful. Also, The best time to make colloidal silver is during what is called 'the solunar period.' There are two solunar periods each day. They begin approximately 6 hours after either moon-rise or moon-set, and last for about 90 minutes. Since moon rise/set times change every day, you will have to figure out when these times are for your local area. Many metropolitan newspapers publish this moon rise/set times daily. [ ... ] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I did not consider this for todays experiment, but, as I recall, there is a program on my server here (POM) that will tell me this. I'll add this into the equation once I get comfortable with the manufacturing process. > I would like to recommend a book.

I grew up around the conventional medical "profession" and while there is much good they do, there is more (IMO) harm that they do. Arrogance and ignorance of methods that worked for centuries bother me when it comes to my health. Far too many "doctors" set themselves up as "gods", which is a problem that would resolve itself were they also accountable as such. I have seen people treated barbarically and with the intent of "keeping them coming back". IMO some of this was criminal, but the AMA "force" has become too powerful, both financially and politically to challenge directly (and unlikely even if you are right). Ignorance of the general populace keeps them there :-(. Far too many people have gone into "medicine" not for a desire to become a healer (directly) but moreso because "there is good money in the medical profession". I strongly suspect that a majority of the medical problems that people suffer in this day and time is nutritional. NPK will not save us, but it sure as hell keeps the "medical profession" quite financially solvent along with those taxing their income. I have studied nutrition for a number of years now and am very frightened by what I have discovered concerning our "food supply". One of the finest diagnostic tools I have found for the ills that are present in our world is that of the "money flow diagram", amazing how much sense that makes when used to make sense out of things that make no sense. But I suspect that none of this is news to this group :-). > A question somewhat related to process control: can you recommend a type > of, and/or source-of a milliampmeter---0 to about 3 mA range--- which will > read a 10KV line inductively?

I would say look into a clamp on probe that will interface to a VOM/DVM. There are several sources out on the net for this. Try the Fluke site and a general search on "clamp on current probe". Probably won't be cheap, especially in the 10KV range. Are you using 10KV for CS? I would be interested as to why? ~= 30V seems to be pretty common and recommended. I've got some questions on my first batch, but I'll post that seperately.
