It's pretty obvious that making colloidal silver is by no means a simple process as evidenced by the volume of messages on this list. Our only saving grace is that a really wide range of results "does the job".
Hammers, regardless of size , shape or style of swinging it... drive nails. {If it won't, maybe it's not a hammer} Ken At 10:38 AM 12/26/01 -0700, you wrote: >Marshall said it well, and is what I had in mind but didn't communicate it >very well.
