Hi John,

The amount of particles increases as the PPM goes up....that is to a certain 
point and at that point particles begin to agglomerate.  At the same time you 
can see the color change go from clear to golden or yellow and colors continue 
to change as the mix gets stronger.   So for the best CS, with the most amount 
of particles in a given measure of water I would try to stay in the clear range 
and if someone felt they needed more particles then just take more of the water 
rather than trying to make it stronger.

Unless the particles are agglomerating, the ionic particles are the same size 
and only the clusters of atoms making colloidal particles are larger. 

Stirring definitely helps keep particles from colliding and as a consequence 
agglomerating.  Our CS is always crystal clear and I attributite to several 
things,  Constant current control, larger surface area electrodes and stirring 
all contribute to good CS

Hope this helps.

Trem

  Thanks Trem,

  What physically happens as the cs is being made? I know that the ppm gets 
higher and higher as the water turns color.
  My question is, I guess, does the number of particles increase as the ppm 
goes up or do the particles just get larger?
  Seems like what we want is more of the small particles and not the larger 
ones. ??? Does the stirring keep the particles 
  smaller?

    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.
