Well, I am using CS now for Lyme Disease, but I still don't understand how
it works. For one, i wonder what happens to the silver when it is consumed.
Does is distribute throughout the body or does most of it just go out the GI
tract.... I did read the link you provided. It states ionic silver is very
effective against microrganisms, but it also said it was harmful to fish,
which is a higher life form. Well does this mean there is some danger to
humans too?
Summary
This document is one in a series that establishes ambient water quality
criteria for British Columbia. It includes an overview which is followed by
the main body of the report. This document sets criteria for silver to
protect freshwater and marine aquatic life.
Criteria were not set for human, livestock or wildlife drinking water,
recreational waters, irrigation water or industrial water uses, since,
either suitable data documenting the effects of silver for these uses were
lacking, or the criteria would have been about 1000 times higher than the
aquatic life criteria and therefore redundant.
Silver is most toxic to microscopic organisms or larval forms of aquatic
animals. There is no evidence that silver is naturally transformed to a
hazardous biologically-available form (such as mercury into methyl mercury).
Ionic silver is more toxic to aquatic organisms than silver compounds.
Thiosulphate-complexed silver breaks down to silver sulphide which is less
toxic than the silver ion. Silver criteria are summarized in the chapter on
Recommended Criteria. A more detailed discussion of the criteria is
presented in the main body of the report.

"I have the following question to someone qualified:
I have a DiST 3 of hanna industries which measures conductivity but I want
to know what ppm my CS has. So ,is there a possibility to convert the
readings of conductivity into TDS(ppm)? what formula or multiplication
factor
has to be used? "
There is really no answer as it is a variable, as you can see from prior
posts
here. Ivan says 0.59uS/PPM for the silver ion, Trem and a few others say 1
and sometimes 1.6uS/PPM and I hold to Hanna's origional suggestion of
1.6uS/PPM, not because of faith but because it is very conservative - what
I
sell as 5PPM may actually be 10 or 20 PPM! When measuring water, it is
well established that there are 2uS/PPM usually calcium carbonate.
You will learn in time that wether you have 5 or 10 PPM is not
important, since
an ion is well over 300 times more effective then silver salts or crystals.
Your
water and process controls are important!
The link to that "300 times" data is:
