Hi John,
Neither. It's a measure of weight. 1 PPM = 1 mg. silver in 1 liter of water.
Swallowing a 1 mg. chunk of silver isn't going to do much good. What really
counts is how many particles can that chunk can be divided into. More
particles equals more bang for the buck. Clear CS has the smallest particles.

Question: Does the acronym 'ppm' refer to particle size or number of
particles in solution?

I had a DR's wife approach me at work yesterday about CS. (I work at a
health food store) She said her husbands book mentions that only 5 ppm should
be taken and anything over that could be dangerous. Also, that it shouldn't be
taken long term. Now, from reading the posts here it sounds like many of you
have been taking it for years and are taking over 5 ppm. Her husbands book is a
medical book. She refused to buy our store products which range from 10 ppm to
45 ppm. All of which I've taken but only when needed for sinus infections. My
boyfriend however would like to take them regularly as he has asthma. What is
safe to take and will it help his asthma?
Giving a limit on the ppm of cs without giving a limit on how much to
take is nonsense. That is, if you have 10 ppm and dilute it with an equal
amount of distilled water, they you will have 5 ppm. Now, when you get up
above 20 ppm, I do tend to agree with that since the particles will start
getting bigger, a simple dilution will not necessarily make it the same as CS
produced at that ppm.
CS may help asthma. Killing any pathogens that are present, might help
the body stabalize its immune system.
Also, I have my grandmother taking it. She is 86 and recently had a
fever over 104. I finally convinced my mother to put her on the CS after 5 days
of a high fever. Her fever was gone the next am and has come back slightly now
and then since. She is drinking a ton of water, Could the CS make her thirsty?
(I know she didn't drink much while she was sick so maybe she's making up for
lost fluids.
I would not expect CS to may one thirsty. However any toxins in the body
can certainly cause that. This can be anything from elevated sugar in the
blood, to heavy metals released by eating garlic, or toxins released when
pathogens die.
