I just got my first digest form (really hard to read history) and just have to reply to a number of questions!
1 - Distilled water varies very widely - from our local Publics supermarket, their brand varies from 0.5 PPM to 15 PPM, with the same batch number! The reason is that the first product from a batch is very pure but as the remaining sludge gets stronger and stronger, just a small amount of entrainment will contaminate the product. For this reason, we suggest using deionized water (usually labelled "deionized and ozonated". Again, with the Publics brand, it is never over 1PPM and is usually 0.25 PPM. Some equipment on the market will not work with such pure water so they stupidly suggest adding salt (see 2 below). We suggest adding some of your last batch! 2 - Pure water is required to make good colloidal silver! If your water has 10 PPM contaminates, you can not produce any free ions of silver until you make 10PPM of compounds of silver! (Thus our suggestion to use water with less then 1 PPM of contaminates). The electric current disassociates any materials into ions and they then react to form new compounds, such as salt becomes sodium and chlorine ions. The positive ions of silver then bind to the negative chlorine ions to make silver chloride. Not suggested for internal use! The color you see in your Cs is due to the presence of larger particles of silver crystals or compounds of silver (silver ions will not impart a color). If the color darkens (shift is from pale yellow to brown to purple to black) then particles are growing in size and will settle out in a few weeks to days. The ions (smallest size particle of silver) are the only ones that can pass thru your cell membranes to attack any viruses and are the only form with a positive charge, producing extreme stability of over a year (like charges repel) and highest bio-availability and reactivity. 3 - Adult acne or any skin infection must be treated externally, at the source. Drinking Cs only treats areas that you blood can bath. From practicle experience, wiping the infected area twice daily with 5PPM Cs will give overnight results. It must be an ongoing treatment, as bacteria may be reintroduced every time you touch your face, although you can certainly keep ahead of most of it. The same with dandruff and other skin infections! Hope this has been some help to many that had questions in these areas! We provide a totally free testing service for your water and Cs, in the event you do not have a meter for testing your own - send me an email for the info.
