Paul: Tem's are normally characterized exactly as specified... Trem was not stretching the truth as you so claim. He was reporting the data as it was reported to him. Those larger particles are irrelevant ( in Trem's case ) when considering colloidal silver effectiveness. If Trem had made microgram calculations of silver content based on the particle range specified, then there would certainly be a considerable issue. In fact, it is likely that there are even smaller particles than the TEM represents... When you do a TEM, you don't search for the smallest particle, list that, then search for the largest particle, and list that. That's not the design or purpose. Doing so would not be characterizing the colloidal silver in a meaningful way. For that depth of analysis, AAS should be used. That's why there's the little measurement gauge on each and every TEM. So the viewer, whom one must assume either understands how to read a TEM, or asks how to read one, can see the standard range.
If you were to look at a TEM with significant agglomeration, you'd instantly see the difference. And yes, how the ionic silver evaporates out is truly significant, and differs depending on many factors. But here I'm jumping beyond my level of solid education. I shouldn't have been sarcastic, for that I apologize. If you want to be accurately critical of CS sales, I can point you to several hundred products that deserve that sort of scrutiny... Trem truly is not one of them.

Please don't put words in my mouth. I made no accusations. What I did was state a fact: Trem claimed that his generator produced .0006 - .005 particle size as confirmed by lab analysis. According to the lab, the report was not consistent with what Trem advertised. Plain and simple. He even admitted that he strettttttccccched the truth a bit.
